PINGREE DENIES 1T,
Says He Has Made No Alliance With
Alger Against Mckinley.

Gov. Pingree last night sent a letter to
Secretary Algcr, which was brought out by
criticisms of the Secretary and the COM
ments recently published concerning the
agreement made by the governor to support
Secretary Alger in his campaign for the
United States senatorship. He denies the
accuracy of a published interview, and goes
on to say:
II have at different times expressed my
opinion of the necessity for the war in the
Philippines. 1 have in common with thou
sands Of others in the country disapproved
of 1t, and have had no hesitation in giving
my views whenever l have been asked for
them. l voted for Mr.. Mckinley, and l
have had no cause whatever to regret it.
If he is candidate again 1 will take pleas
ure in giving him my support.
Il am we'll satisfied that the attack upon
the War Department is nothing but cum
ningly conceived plot to create a vacancy,
to be filled by New York politician. AL
ready the New York newspapers are dis
cussing the distribution of the patronage of
the department. OF course 1t is not sur
prising that Senator Mcmillan and his me,
too Senator Burrows, have Joined in the
contemplate scheme to discredit and de-
fame the War Department.
In SO ia: as the alleged alliance with
you is concerned, l can freely and frankly
say that none has been made. AS you are
already aware, l simply proffered you my
support in your candidacy for United States
senator, and only wanted to know whether
you were in favor of an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States permit
ting the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people. l was glad to
be advised by you that you favored the re-
striction of trusts but neither of these
things was made the condition of my sup
port. In common with thousands of other
Michigan people, merely offered to assist

ATTACK ON PROTECTION.
Havemeyer's Testimony Likely to
Prove Boomerang

fFOFe boomerang.
Mr. ]. l.. Kennedy of the industrial COM
mission thinks that the Havemeyer attack
on protection in his testimony has developed
INTO veritable boomerang. Mr.. Kennedy
says that while there is no doubt thai
HaVemeyers purpose was to injure the re-
publican party, the effect of the attack, as
shown by the agitation of the matter, has
been to arouse the protected industries all
over the country and to enliven interest in
protection as political issue.
Before Havemeyer spoke there appeared
to be a very general disposition to regard
protection as settled policy, in no danger
of being disturbed, and it was likely to BE-
more or less ignored as a political issue
Now, however, all believers in protection
are aroused to the defense of the policy
the democrats are trying to make capital
out of Havemeyer's testimony, and the
question promises to be alive in the next
campaign
This the republicans regard as altogether
advantageous to them, an attack upon
the protective policy is sure to bring to the
party advocating protection the strongest
sort OF support and overcome any lukewarm
sentiments as to other issues. 1t is, there
fore, looked upon greatly to the advan-
tase OF the party that the attack was made.
The Free Silver Issue.
Another incident of the commissions in
quiry is regarded by Mr.. Kennedy as likely
to be of advantage to the republican party,
though not so designed. While the demo-
Gratis have nothing to gain by talking tariff,
Mr. Kennedy thinks that they are quite as
anxious to minimize the free silver talk
and this, like the tariff, has been forced to
public through the efforts of democra tic
fanatics to get their theories before the
commission
a Mr. Yeoman of South Carolina. who re-
Gently appeared before the committee to
discuss the condition of the farmers de-
voted himself entirely to a discussion of
Tree coinage of silver as the cure-alI These
two things, Mr.. Kennedy says, have at
tracted attention in a way to provoke dis
cusslon and keep interest alive, and he
thinks the republicans will have no rea-
son to complain if the tariff question and
the money question are kept alive. The
democrats, instead of deriving the intended
benefit, will, he thinks, be the serious suf-
ferers from their own efforts to make po-
htical capital out of the commission in
quiry.

GROWTH OF OUR SHIPPING.
Greatest Increase of Any Year bu1
One in a Quarter Century.

Greatest Increase of Any Year but
One in a Quarter Century.
The fiscal year which ended Friday was
exceptional for the American merchant
marine in several respects Full reports
will not be received by the bureau of navi-
cation for several weeks, but returns al
ready received warrant these statements.
The total output of American shipyards
has been the largest of any year for the
last quarter of a century except in 1891
when 1884 vessels of 369.302 gross tons
were built and documented in the United
States. During the past fiscal year the
construction of merchant vessels, officially
800, S78 gross tons. Besides these, twenty
tive vessels of foreign construction, aggre-
eating 80, 1S1 gross tons. have been admit
ted to American registry. 1t Is also re-
ported from Manila that since last August
one hundred and forty-one vessels nave
been transferred from the hands of the
Spanish. German and British subjects to
Americans, indicating the confidence of the
business men of Manila in American gov
eminent. The tonnage of these vessels has
not yet been reported, and the transfer
does not carry with it all the rights Il
American registry. Had the Senate passed
the House bill for the registry of Hawaiian
vessels the total additions to our mer-
chant fleet during the year would have
reached nearly 400 600 tens Our largest an
nua1 production was In 1855, when 2,027
vessels of 5S3, 450 tons were built and docu-
mented.
During 1888 Great Britain built 1.54s YES

HENRY b. PLANTS ESTATE.
About SS.OOO.OOO Left in Trust TO
WIDOW. Son and GranIson


The will of Henry B. Plant, the million
aire transportation manager, was offered
for probate in New Haven, Conn, where
Mr.. Plant had legal residence for the last
year.
Executors of the will are Morton F.
Plant, George H. Tilley, Margaret J. Plant.
Lynde Harrison and Robert G. Erwin. 1t
is stipulated in the testament that each
shall give bond of $4,000, which is re-
garded as nominal.
The will leaves specific legacies amount
ing to Sal 900 to friends and relatives, and
several annuities are bequeathed. The en-
tire estate, subject to these legacies and
charges. is left in trust to the executors,
and the trust is to continue during the lives
of the widow, Margaret J. Plant, the son,
Morton F. Plant, and the teStator'S grand
son. Henry Bradley Plant.
The trustees are directed to pay from the
income of the estate $50 eco year each to
Margaret ]. Plant and Morton F. Plant
and $4,000 year to Henry Bradley Plant
The estate remaining in the hands of the
trustees after the decease of the widow,
the son and grandson is to be held in trust
until the youngest child of the grandson is
twenty years Of age, and at that time
it is to be divided among the hereafter born
children of the teStator'S son and grandson
Although not yet appraised, conservative
estimate places the value of the estate at
SS,0o0,000.

sells of 1890, 116 tons. The difference in the
kind of vessels built is roughly disclosed
by the average size our construction aver
aging only about 225 tons, while the Brit
tsh averages 900 tons.
Nearly all of our new tonnage is built to
navigate in the coasting trade reserved to
American vessels. The only steamships
built directly for the foreign trade were the
Havana and Mexico of the New York and
Cuba mail, and the four Admiral steam
ships for Cuba and Jamaica, aggregating
1850 tons, which were built under the
postal subsidy act. In anticipation of legis-
lation at the coming session, however, con-
struction has begun or been contracted for
on about 100000 tons of steel steams hips
for foreign trade and trade with Hawaii
and Porto Rico, involving an expenditure
of about SIS, 100000
For the first time in our history the total
tonnage of our steam vessels, when tabu-
lated, will exceed the total of all other
kinds of dccumented vessels. During the
year, however, AGO sail vessels of 96 45S
tons have been built compared with 426 of
42,J02 for the previous year, while the
steam vessels built number ATS of 1857 ISL
tons, compared with 44S of no, 12S for the
previous year. In certain trades our large
sailing vessels endeavor to compete with
foreign cargo steamships and doubtless
VIII continue to do so, at all events until
the construction of the Nicaragua canal.
The most notable vessel is the John Smea-
ton, a steel schooner of 500 gross TONS
built at West Superior, Mich. probably the
largest fore-and-aft vessel ever built. The
largest sea-going sailing vessel built in
Europe in 1898 was the Ernest Siegfried of
Havre, 3,214 TONS
For the first time in our history. steel has
become the principal material in our an
nual construction of rugged vessels, the steel
tonnage for the year being 133,991 TONS
wood, 10000 tons. Iron has ceased to be a
shipbuilding material, only one vessel of
nine tons having been built of iron. During
1888. in Great Britain, 80 per cent, or prac-
tically the whole construction except small
fishing vessels, was of steel.

UNUSUAL OPER ALTON.
Surgeons Cut Into n Mans Brain and
Remove Blood Clots.

he"oNe SIotS
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Geneva, n. Y, says: Surgeons in this
vicinity are watching with great interest
the case of Eugene Brace, of Oaks Cor
ners, who through an operation on the
brain in the City Hospital here last Friday
has regained the power of speech, recovered
his memory and has been relieved of par
alysis of the right side.
While repairing a barn on April 49,
Brace was struck on the left side of the
head by a falling timber. He was slightly
stunned but rallied in a few minutes and
resumed his work. The skull was not frac-
tured, and except for a large bump where
the timber struck there were no immediate
i'll effects from the injury.
Physicians decided, however, that he had
received injuries that would ultimately
prove fatal if they did not receive proper
attention. About three weeks ago Brace
found that he losing his memory and
one day he forgot his name. Soon after
ward he lost the power of speech, and grad
ually his whole right side became par
alyzed-
Dr. Church of Oaks Corner, Braces phy-
sician, called in DR., Covert and DR.. Skinner
of this city in consultation The seat of
the trouble was located in the motor tract
of the left side of the BRAIN An operation
was deemed necessary.
AS there WAS no fracture. it was neces-
sary for DR.. skinner, who performed the
operation, assisted by DR.. Covert and DR.
Church, TO cut through the skull, and as
soon this was done the diagnosis made
at the consultation was proved to be cor
rect.
A blood vessel in the brain had been rup-
tured by the falling timber. little more
than a half-pint of blood clots was removed
from the left side of the brain cavity.
The effect of the operation was apparent
almost as soon as Mr.. Brace was restored
from the influence of anaesthetics He has
already regained memory and power of
speech and the use of his entire right side
and is making rapid progress toward recov-

how we escaped q riot here. In the SOS
the American or knownothing party was
in existence, and there was much bitter
feeling. When 1t was announced that that
party would have a procession and picnic
at kalorama on the Fourth, and that the
democrats would show their patriotism in
the east grounds Of the Capitol the same
day, the general public expected a clash.
Then, too, the picnic Of one of the Catho-
lie churches was held not far from kalo-
rama, and some from the knownothing
camp went over to 1t. Happily the day
passed off without any serious disturbance,
some believing that a heavy rain storm
which visited this section had the effect of
cooling hot blood
During the war the Fourth of July ex-
perience was varied. In the beginning, 1851
the city being surrounded by camps of
regular and state troops, and a battle be-
Ing looked for daily the idea of celebrat-
ing by picnics was not entertained. The fusil-
ladies' went on, however, and grand pa
rade and review of the New York troops,
the raising of a flag south of the treasury
companies from campaign up the river
were features of the day. When the fate
of the nation hung in balance, the older
people were not in humor for an old-time
celebration, but the enjoyment of the
young was not retarded The fortunes OF
war confined the celebrations to the city
limits, and thus it was in 1854 that the
Catholic Sunday schools picnicked in the
day School Union ProtestanD held a mon
ster picnic at Israel Church, on South
Capitol street. The national democrats
celebrated in the Capitol grounds. The
same afternoon the Wallach School build
ing was dedicated
I'm the western part of the city some
people had the peculiar mode of celebrat-
ing the advent of the Fourth by a ball the
night of the Sd, or, more properly, a dance
upon the green, for nearly always the
weather was too sultry for indoor enjoy
ment. I can remember one such in 1853,
in which two colored folders (slaves) had
but five strings between the two instru-
ments, and yet made good music. These
took place on what was known School
House Hill, just south of the street
market, and were attended by the boys
who were out for fun.
Accidents Noted.
II have stated that there were compare
lively no fires, but of accidents there We're
numbers. One took place near the market
in the 30s, an artilleryman named Williams
having both arms blown off. In 1893 Mr..
Dunning was killed in firing a Fourth of
July salute at the navy yard. In 1896, dur
ing the fireworks exhibition south of the
Presidents grounds, a man was killed by
stray rocket, and in 1919 Mr. Jas. Knowles
the rack falling just the rockets were
set off. and one passing through him as he
was standing the wall.
These exhibitions were given by the gov
eminent the fireworks being manufactured
at the navy yard and arsenal, but after
these accidents the public exhibitions

Dreyfus showed No Sign of Weakness
Nervousness

Captain de Nordeck. commander of the
French cruiser Sfax, which brought Captain
Dreyfus to France. in an interview pub
Hshed yesterday said that he was struck
by the immense power of self-control dis
played by Captain Dreyfus during the voy-
age. The prisoners attitude throughout
was "one Of irony and disdain." He had
been suffering severely from seasickness
when he was transferred TO the Sfax. but
he walked with firm tread. and during the
entire trip never showed a sign of weak
ness or nervousness
Captain Dreyfus was ignorant of the fact
that a new cOurt-martial awaited him, and
remained in ignorance during the first part
of the voyage. When he was finally in
formed not muscle of his face moved
He merely said: II have no iIl-wilI toward
anybody. i shall be glad to re-enter the
army, which l have never ceased to love -
He did not allude to the subject again
during the voyage. Most OF thc tie re

DISASTROUS INCENDIARY FIRE.
One Hundred Persons Made Homeless

An incendiary fire at Summit, N. J., yes
terday did $4,000 damage. The fire was
discovered about o'clock am, in a barn
in the rear of house owned by v. Vicari,
on Union avenue. A high wind prevailed
at the time. The fire communicated to a
frame building some distance away and
then destroyed about ten similar buildings
adjoining which were occupied as stores
and dwellings. The fire got beyond control
and within short time the Agate block Of
five buildings ON Union avenue, owned by
William c. Sheldon, were in flames They,

A widespread conspiracy among the
convicts at San Quentin to murder their
guards and effect wholesale delivery
of prisoners has been revealed to War
den Hale through the faintheartednes of
one OF the conspirators. AS the result
eight men denounced as ringleaders in
the movement are in the dungeons, one
guard, charged by the informer with
completely in the murderous plot of the
inmates, has been discharged and the
guards have been doubled in the prison
yard and on the walls. Half dozen
rudely fashioned knives and the same
number Of keys, undoubtedly manu-
factured in the prison and finished to
fit the locks necessary to be opened for
dash to liberty have been found in the
cells of the accused. At the present
time search is being made throughout
the prison for the revolvers, which it is
said were smuggled in through the com
plicity Of the discharged guard.
