Parker of Denver.

DENVER. Aug. 29.-Blly Otis, the
clever lightweight from San Francisco,
again met defeat at the hands of Kid
Parker of Denver in the ninth round of
what was to have been a twenty-round
go, before the Olympic Athletic Club to-
night Otis was worn down by the sheer
force of Parker's rushes and when, in the
ninth round, after being down three
times, taking the limit, he fell on his
knees from a stiff right hand punch in
the region of the heart, he was too weak
Otis was game to the core and several
times had the Kid badly worn from left
jolts to the nose and chin. In the eighth

THE NAVY IS INDEPENDENT.
1T DOES NOT NEED MUCH HELP
Secretary Long Makes Recomme n dn-
tions-A Limited Increase-Au
ships sheatlied-Wants krupp Ar
NOR for Battleships.

New York, Oct. ~ - A special from
Washington says:
Secretary Long will make recommen-
dation for but limited increase in the
new navy in his forthcoming annual re-
port. 1t is his intention to especially de-
vote his pen to urging the abolition OF the
limit of cost now imposed upon aImor
purchased by the government and to ask
for sufficient appropriation to enable the
department to procure Krupp armor for
the battleships of the Maine class, and the
projected battleships and armored cruisers
The keels for three battleships and three
armored cruisers authorized by the last
congress have not yet been laid down, the
law prohibiting the awarding of contracts
for the hull and machinery in advance Of
the contracts for armor Yet the secre-
tary believes that an increase, however
small, should be made during the coming
session.
1t can be stated that he will certainly
not recommend the authorization of more
than three protected cruisers of the Olyin-
pia class, and he may determine to recon-
mend in their place that congress author
ize several small sheathed cruisers and
gunboats capable of doing effective work
in the Philippines
Considerable progress has been made by
the naval board of construction in the
preparation of the circular for the battle
ships and armored cruisers for which Sec
rotary Long will ask the authorization OF
Krupp armor.
In reply to the boards recommendation
that the battleship Kearsarge be placed in
commission as soon as possible and her
superimposed turets given an exhaustive
trial, Secretary Long has informed Rear
Admiral O'Neill, president of the board,
that such trial will be held Immediately
after the vessel is turned over to the gov
eminent and she is placed in commission.
Final decision will doubtless not be taken
by the board on this point until the trial
is held.
The armored cruisers will not be sup
piled with double turrets. All the ships
will be sheathed, so that the speed
which they will make cannot be regarded
as fictitious, as in the case of the unsheath-
ed vessels, and they will be able to repea
their trial trip record after being in COM
mission several months.
