The.sixlNew Cruisers.

At a meeting of the board of construc-
ton at the navy department Thursday the
general plans of the six protected cruisers
authorized by the naval appropriation act
were agreed on, thus marking the
beginning of the most extensive ma
val program ever attempted by the
United States. Under the terms of the
act these vessels are to be 'of about 900
tons trial displacement, to be sheathed and
coppered, and to have the highest speed
compatible with good cruising qualities,
great radius of action, and to carry the
most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of
their class, and to cost, exclusive of arma-
ment, not exceeding 81, 141 800 each" AT
ter discussing the character of the vessels
authorized, with reference to the amount
appropriated for the construction of each,
the board decided that plans should be
drawn for vessels of about 5000 tons in
stead of $500 tons displacement, which
could be constructed within the limit of
cost. The plans, as far as agreed on, look
to the construction of six ships similar to
the Marblehead, but improvements on that
class. The main battery was !also agreed
on. 1t will consist of ten 5-inch quick-fire
rifles.

The Samoan Trouble
To he settled by ArbitratiOn---Pro
Came from Germany.

A modus vivendi for the settlement of
the Samoan troubles has been proposed,
and is now under favorable consideration
by the three governments concerned. 1t
contemplates the creation of Joint high
commission, consisting of one member from
each country to pass upon the recent clash
of authority and resulting disorder. The
proposition, it is understood, was put for
ward by Germany and il the second one
submitted for settlement of the entire
question. The first proposition was that
the United States and Great Britain join
with Germany in removing all the officials
now serving in Samoa, through whom the
troubles had arisen. To this the United
States and Great Britain replied that, as
their respective officials were not regarded
as having acted in the wrong, it could not
be conceded that they should be withdrawn
and thus discredited.
Now the proposition is presented to leave
the whole question to high commissioners,
one. from each government, the high commits
sion to have supreme authority on the reach
ing of solution. This arrangement would
be temporary in character, not suspending or
varying the Berlin treaty except for this
special purpose, and for that reason would
come under the general designation of a
modus vivendi

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Federal Government
Takes Up a Lynching Case In South
Carolina.

Carolina.
Fifteen prominent citizens of Lake City,
S. c., will be put on trial at Charleston
in the United States circuit court this week
to answer to a charge of having lynched
Postmaster Frazer B. Baker, more than a
year ago. Besides killing the postmaster,
who was a negro, the alleged lynchers will
have to answer for the killing of Bakers
infant child and the burning of the Lake
City post-office with all its effects. 1t is
said that other arrests will be made before
the case is taken up. The indictment will
90 to the grand jury and the hearing will
begin at once. Eighty witnesses for the
government have been summoned, and
there is great array of witnesses for the
defence.
This is the first time on record that the
federal government has gone into the
South to take up lynching trial. The
murder of Baker was probably the most
brutal crime known in the history OF
South Carolina. Baker was appointed
postmaster at Lake City, and before he
took charge of the office he was warned to
keep away. He refused and an attempt
was make to kill him soon after his com
mission was received. This failed and
then a regular band was organized to put
him out of the way.
