THE NEW NAVY.
Contractor Hichborn Tells of Prog
ress on Ships Being Built.

Washington, October 17.-Ac-
cording to Constructor Hichborn,
within three years the American
navy will almost equal that of Italy
in fighting strength. To substan-
tiate this statement the chief con-
structor presents figures. Although
some of the vessels are not actually
laid, provisions have been made by
the department to add to the navy
eight first-class battleships of the
highest power and speed obtaina-
BILE for ships of their displacement
four coast defense monitors; thirty
six torpedo boat destroyers and
torpedo boats; several tugs and
smaller vessels besides a practice
ship and the cruiser Albany, sis
ter ship of the New Orleans, now
being built abroad.
At no time in the development of
the American navy, Chief Con-
structor Hichborn says, has there
ever been so great an amount ot
tonnage building. He estimates
that the present programme gives
to the navy standing among the
naval powers of the world equal to
that of Germany and Russia.
The progress of the work indi'
Gates a great activity at all yards,
the present status of the vessels
advanced being as follows
Battleships-Kearsarge 68 per
cent, Kentucky 66, Illinois 50, Ala
bama So, Wisconsin 48.
Torpedo boats-Rowan SO per
cent, Dahlgreen 80, Craven 81, Far
ragut 81, Davis SO, Fox 85, Mac
Kensie SO, Stringham 48, Colds
borough 28, Bailey 81.
Submarine boats-Plunger 50
per cent.
Tugs-Peacock So per cent, Paw
tucket co.
Training vessels Chesapeake 3C
aud the Albany 70 per cent.

A proposition is now before the
public and will be soon placed be-
fore the authorities at Washington
to enlist all Spanish soldiers into
the U. S. army for Cuban occupa-
tion in the same manner that we
are to enlist the Cubans. II is said
the Spaniards would be willing to
serve and would make good soldiers
as they are already acclimated, and
after their term of service expires
they would have enough saved from
the pay received. TO give them a
start on their own hook, thus Civ
ing Cuba a large number of desira-
bic citizens. Whatever is in this
will be finally brought out, and
done with as is thought best. From
present information we see little
in the proposition.

SNOW STORM IN KANSAS.
Kansas City and Other Places Suffer
Severely.

Kansas City, October 1.-THE
earlist winter storm in the south.
west in twenty-five years and the
worst early storm on record has to-
day almost completely shut Kansas
City off from wire communication
with the south, the west and the
north. An opening on the east has
alone kept the city from being
totally isolated.
1t had been raining for the past
twenty-four hours. Shortly after
midnight last the rain turned to
snow and the temperature dropped
perceptibly. Steadily since then
heavy wet snow, driven by a
strong north wind at points reach
ing the velocity of a gale, has fall
en-. Hundreds of telegraph and
telephone poles out in the open
haye either been blown down by the
strong wind or broken by the
weight of the snow covered wires.
At Falmouth Park, near Kansas
City, and at Leavenworth, Kan,
where portions of the Third and
Fifth Missouri and the TwentY-frst
and the Twenty-second Kansas
regiments respectively are encamp-
ed, many tents we're blown down
and the soldiers made to suffer
acutely.
The storm came up with great
suddenness and caught many unpre-
pared. Numerous cases of suffer
ing to man and beast will doubtless
be reported, when communication
shall haye been resumed. Railway
traffic while more or less hampered,
has not been badly interrupted, as
far as can be learned. In Kansas
City no serious damage has resulted.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they canuot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Elstachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you haye a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and useless
the inflammation can be taken out
aud this tuqe restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an iuhamed concition of the

TEXT OF COURTS REPORT.
Maine Destroyed by Explosion of Mine
Under Her Bottom.

DestrOyeu Dy Oh Mine
Under Her Bottom.
Washington, March 2S.-The follow
ing is the full text of the report of the
court of inquiry:
After full and mature consideration
of all the testimony befoe it, the court
finds as follows:
Il. That the United States battle
ship Maine arrived in the harbor of Ha-
vana, Cuba, on the 25th day of Janu-
airy, 1898, and was taken to buoy No. 4,
in from five and One-half to six faith
oms OF water, by the regular govern
ment pilot. The United States consul
general at Havana had notified the au-
thorities at that place the previous
evening of the intended arrival of the
Maine
'2. The state of discipline on board
the Maine was excellent, and all orders
and regulations i'm regard to the care
and safety of the ship were strictly
carried out. All ammunition was
slowed away in accordance with in
structiOns, and proper care was taken
whenever ammunition was handled.
Nothing was slowed in any one of the
magazines or shellroOms which was
not permitted to be slowed there. The
magazines and shellroOms were always
locked after having been opened, and
after the destruction of the Maine the
keys were found in their proper place
in the captains cabin, everything hav-
ing been reported secure that evening
at 8 p. m.
1.-The temperatures of the magazines
and shellroOms were taken daily and
reported. The only magazine whiN,
had an undue amount of heat was the
after 10-inch magazine, and that did
not explode at the time the Maine was
destroyed
1.-The torpedo war heads were all
slowed in the after part of the ship un-
der the wardroom, and neither caused
nor participated in the destruction Of
the Maine.
1.-The dry gun cotton primers and
detonators were slowed in the cabin

RUSSIA WINS AT LAST

Russia's schemes for obtaining pos
session of the Chinese ports of Port
Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan have been
crowned with success. While she ap-
pears to have submitted to a modifi-
cation of her demands by accepting
lease for twenty-five years. no one
need doubt that the result will be prac-
tically the same, as the Russian gov
eminent has never been known to re-
lease its hold upon any territory of
which it has once gained possession
without reaping an advantage in some
other direction.

Forty Eight Men of the Steamer Green

land Dead Missing.
st. Johns, n. F., March 29.-The
steamer Greenland, returning from the
seal fisheries, put into Bay de Verde
and reported a terrible disaster Last
Wednesday while her crew was travel
ing about the foes in search of seals
a storm arose, accompanied by blind
ing snow, which drifted rapidly, and a
severe frost The members of the crew
who were on the ice could not regain
the vessel and were exposed to the ter
rible weather throughout the night
and all the next day.
FOrty-eight men persisted or are mis-
sing and sixty were so badly FROST
bitten that the amputation of one or
more OF their limbs will have to be
suffered by all of them. The Greenland
succeeded in recovering the bodies of
twenty-five of the victims.
From the circumstances Of the disas
ter it is feared that other steamers
have suffered in a similar manner. Thu
city is in state of great excitement.
The disaster is the worst recorded in
the history of the sealing industry

Sensational reports OF loss of life by
Hoods in Ohio and Indiana have proved
unfounded, but the property loss in
those two states alone will run high
up in the millions. Indiana railroad
men say the roads in hOosierdom have
suffered damage amounting to at least
100000, and their loss in Iowa is like
ly greatly TO exceed that sum. The
damage to residence property, manu-
featuring establishments and farmers
will bring the grand total up to be-

those two states, without counting the
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars lost
by labor because of being temporarily
thrown out of work
