10 AVERT OCEAN DISASTERS.

Means of Sa afety on the New Trans.
ports-Need Navigation Officers.
Washington, Sept. 19.--The three big
transports, Logan, Thomas and Meade,
which are being prepared on the Attain
tic coast for service to the Philippines,
will carry about 1000 passengers, and
for their safety in case of accident will
have fourteen lifeboats, with capacity
of fifty persons each, and eight life
RATS, which can carry from fifty to 100
persons each. In addition there will be
1000 life preservers. There are forty
seven transports on the Pacific, and
none of them is allowed a navigating
officer. The captain has to do this work,
Notwithstanding that frequently he is
kept at his post on the bridge for days
without an opportunity to properly fig
ure out his location. This matter has
been frequently discussed at the depart
ment, but without any relief being Of
fered, and nowadays it is common for
the nervous officials to express fear of
an appalling loss of life. The transport;
have been exceptionally fortunate in
keeping their bearings and in encoun-
tering favorable weather, but the serv-
ice which neglects to increase the safe
ty by detailing navigating officers for
each vessel and in failing to provide
adequate life-saving apparatus is being
generally criticised.

Party Managers Meet at Chicago and
Issue an ADDRESS.
Chicago, Sept. 19-The democratic ma
session, which was not characterized by
the utmost harmony. adopted unani-
mously yesterday afternoon an address
to the democrats of the United States
which is an appeal for harmony in par
" ranks. The adoption OF the resoiu-

The national committee of the dem
ocratic party, in session at Chicago to
consider the work of the party organi-
zation preparatory to the campaign of
1900. sends greeting TO the democracy
of the nation. with the assurance thai
the prospect of democratic success next
year grows brighter every day, and we
have every reason for confidence as to
the outcome.
"The great need now is party unity
and thorough organization. The COM
mittee appeals, therefore, to our party
friends in all the states, and especially
in the states where elections are to be
held this year, to put aside all local diff
ferences wherever they exist and sup
port the regular party tickets earnestly
ard enthusiastically, keeping always in
view the great struggle of next year
and remembering that in unity there is
strength and in division weakness.
Especially do We appeal to the Ken
lucky democracy to give loyal support
TO the regular ticket in that state
headed by Mr.. Goebel and thereby
make sure a democratic victory in the
state and the return of Senator Back
burn to the senate of the United
States.'

ASKS FOR A PAR|EY
Aguinaldo Asks Permission for an
Officer to Confer With Otis
at Manila.
The Request is Granted, But Wash
ington Officials Have Little
Faith in 1t.
Also Wishes to Treat With Mac.
Arthur With Regard to Ameri.
can Prisoners.

Washington, Sept. ia cablegram
was received today from Otis relative
to the American prisoners in the hands
of the insurgents. Otis says Macarthur
has been approached by a prominent
Filipino, who asked if he was willing to
enter into negotiations with Aguinaldo
for the release of American prisoners
held by the Filipinos. He also asked
whether a Filipino officer would be al
lowed to pass through the lines in order
to confer with Otis. Otis says his re-
quest for an interview was granted
Alluding to the Otis dispatch three cab
pressed the opinion that too much sig
nificance should not be attached to
Aguinaldo's proposals.
The war department has approved the
action of Otis in refusing to allow Span
ish ships to go to ports controlled by
the insurgents to take away Spanish
prisoners, but will allow the transfer to
be made under the supervision of Amer
ican officers.
Todays cabinet meeting lasted longer
than usual. Hay, Gage and Long were
among the absentees. Otis cable re-
garding Aguinaldo's request, that one
of his officers be allowed to visit Manila
for conference regarding the release

NEW PLAN ON BATTLE SHIPS.
Extra Speed to Be Attained by the
Use of Triple screws.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The naval en-
gineers have projected plans for the
new battleships which If adopted will
provide an entirely novel type for the
navy. The purpose is to have these
ships combine in themselves the good
qualities Of battleships and armored
cruisers
The aim will be to have the highest
possible speed for such ships, in this
case twenty knots per hour. This will
be attained by the use of triple screws,
two small side screws for use in ordi-
nary cruising and a big central screw to
add to the propulsive force in case high
speed Is needed.
The ships would be of $4,000 or $4,000
tons displacement, and with seven
inches of the latest armor would be al
most as strong in defense as a regular
battleship. The coal capacity would be
about 1000 tons, sufficient at ordinary
cruising speed to carry the ship 10000
of 15, 900 miles.
