Advance in Steel and Iron VIII Delay
Construction of War Ships.
=, New York. June 20.-A special to the
ilines from Washington says the naval
appropriation bill. passed about the
crosse OF the session of congress and
signed on March 3. provided for six
projected cruisers that We're to cost,
without armament, not more than ST.
l4o,ooo each There has been much con-
troVersy about the designs of the cruis-
ers, ana at last the department reached
the conclusion that the money allowed
1t would be possible to build ships of
about 5000 tons instead of $500, as
contemplated BY the bill. 1t was only
very recently that the construction
board agreed upon the general features
OF the new ships, and now the chief
constructor is about ready to show the
designs. Just as the department was
prepared to advertise for bids for the
construction of the vessels however, a
condition has confronted it that may
defer construction until congress has
again met. If 1t had been possible to
advertise at once for bids for construc-
ton there is no doubt that the expecta-
ton of the department would have been
realized Within a few weeks. unfor-
tunately tor the government, the prices
of iron and steel have greatly increased
and the wages of labor have advanced
from 10 to Is per cent in the iron trade.
These facts are sure to be kept in mind
by the contractors when the bids are
made, and it is a matter of some doubt
whether the shipbuilders will rush i'll
with bids for the six cruisers within
the limit of the price fixed by the SEN
ate and house.
The work on the new battleships also
provided for by the naval appropriation
bill is stopped because it has been
known to be useless to try to get the
best known armor plate at the limit of
cost allowed by congress. The Krupp
steel, which it was decided to use in the
battleships of the latest class, is held
at $500 a ton. or was when the bill was
passed Then congress was willing to
pay only 5000 per ton. AS the makers
of Krupp steel are certain to add some
thing to that of armor, to meet the in
creased cost of iron, the prospect of
making an early beginning on the
Maine, Missouri and Ohio are not prom
ising

Trains Are Still Late.

Missoula. June 20-The new time
card is not much more successful than
was the old one. Sunday it came
nearer to being all right than the old
one had at any time. Monday it was
in a promising condition early in the
day but hot box on the engine de-
layed it till it came into Missoula about
as the old card used to deliver it. To-
day it was reported first 45 minutes
late. but it fell down again and was
three hours behind time when it fin
ally arrived. The washout at the Riv-
erside bridge has upset the Bitter Root
card and the Copper City Limited was
behind when it reached Missoula this
morning The troubles of this world
are not denied to the railway men this

A HAPPY MEETING.
Mrs. Coleman Locates Her Son After
Nearly FL Years.

Mrs. Coleman Locates Her Son After
Nearly FL Years.
Missoula, June 20.-There will be
happy meeting at the Northern Pacific
depot this week, the exact date being
yet unknown. Mrs. Charles Coleman
has just received a letter from her son,
who has been lost to her for nearly 81
years, and is informed that he will
reach Missoula for visit with her. The
young man expected to leave New York
about June 16 to come directly to Mis-
soula and every train will be closely
watched after tomorrow. The circum-
stances of the disappearance of the
child We're narrated in the Standard
about 4 year ago. Mrs. Coleman mar
ried her first husband in 1873. Her son,
Guy, was born in 1873. When the child
waE 10 months old he was abducted
by his father, after an order had been
issued from the local Illinois court CIV
ing the mother full charge and custody
of him. From that time until last year
Mrs. Coleman had never heard a trace
of her child and she mourned him as
one lost. Something more than a year
ago one of her Illinois friends wrote
to her that it had been learned there
that the boy was in Central New York
She sent the name of the town where
he was said to be, and Mrs. Coleman
wrote to the postmaster at that place,
asking for some information of her son.
The postmaster replied that the boy had
been there, but that he had gone 10
New Hampshire and asked If he might
not send her letter to the postmaster at
that place. Mrs. Coleman requested
him to forward the letter and, through
the agency of the postmaster at the
New Hampshire town, the boy. now a
young man in college, was located. A
letter sent to him brought filial re-
spouse and the visit that is expected
this week is the result of the CORE
spondence that has been carried on for
a year between Mrs. Coleman and her
lost boy, Guy Cleveland

earthed by Woodchopper in the out
skirts of this place. One die was for
coming 1898 dollars, the other being for
S. pieces of 1897. Both were well exc

of these dates in circulation. About a
year ago Charles Irwin, who operated
in this vicinity was sent to San Quen-
tin for making bogus money. The dies
just discovered, however, bear evidence
of having been used quite recently.
At Pismo, in San Luis Obispo county,
complete counterfeiting outfit has
been discovered by United States Mar

with making spurious coin. The officers

ANOTHER DAY Of ANXIETY
Western Montana Rivers Show
No Signs of Receding.
FEAR FOR HAMILTON DAM
Situation Is Extremely Critical People
Living on the Bitter Root Are
Warned of the Danger
of Flood.

Missoula June 20.-Despite the cool
weather this has been another day of
deep anxiety in regard to the water in
the rivers. The Rattlesnake has fallen
and the Big Blackfoot has remained
stationary, but the Missoula and Bit
ter Root have gained in depth. The
Missoula rose two-tenths of foot at
the bridge last night and has remained
at the 11-foot mark on the scale all
day.
1t is the Bitter Root that has caused
all the trouble to-day. 1t was thought
last night that the fall in the tempera-
ture would cause the river to drop
somewhat, or at least remain station
airy. This was not the case, however,
and all the forenoon the water at the
Hamilton dam crept higher and higher.
At noon the dam was reported as in
danger and twice this afternoon the re-
port has come down the valley that 1t
had gone out. Each of these reports
proved to be false. but there is no doubt
that the situation is very critical.
AT o'clock couriers were sent down
the valley 10 warn people living near
the river to get to place of safety and
the progress of the water is being
"dlCubu Will ultdt dl iilis liiiiS. IiClt
are 20,000,0O0 feet of logs in the pond
back of the dam and if these escape
with the rush of water the situation in
the valley will be serious. There will
not be a railway or county bridge left
on the river and many of the buildings
in the lowlands will be apt to go out
with the flood.
At this hour the water has begun to
fall considerably and it is expected
that the crisis, is past. An arrangement
has been made by which the people be
low the dam will be warned in case the
dam goes out by the blowing of the big
whistle on the MILL There will be much
anxiety listening in the valley tonight.
The Northern Pacific has had more
trouble this afternoon on the Little
Blackfoot, just east of Garrison. The
westbound train was delayed five hours.
This is the only trouble reported on this
division, except the washing out of the
bridge over the river.
1t is expected that it will be at least
four days before travel over this bridge
will be possible. Much, of course, de-
Ponds upon the dam at Hamilton. If
that holds and the water continues to
fall it will probably be possible to re-
pair the bridge in four days. If the
dam goes out it is doubtful if the bridge
can be repaired at all until the high
water is past.
