TO HAVE TRIPLE SCREWS
The Nexf Vessels for inc New Navy
 Will Be So Equipped.

Washington, Feb 3.-ft is proposed to equip the next vessels built for the navy with triple screws. The esti- mates furnished congress for appro- priations for the three armored cruis- CTS of 12,500 tons and three protected cruisers of $500 tons provide that they shall be furnished with three screws each. Engineer r-in-Chief Melville. who was the original advocate of this sys- ton, has been it's firm supporter ever since it's first introduction in our ser vice.
 Chief Constructor Hfchborn and ether members of the board of con- stIuction favor the idea. The experi- enca in our service with triple screw vessels has been such as to warrant the permanent adoption of the prin- ciple. The foreign nations have not been quite as ready to make use of the idea as was believed would be the case, and the British government has with held Chis feature in the construction of it's 'warshipG. It is believed that the system has come to be an established one in the propulsion of certain class of warshipS where speed and endur- ance are prime requisites. Unlike some of the ideas which are incorpor- ated in the construction and engineer ing elements of new vessels of war, the triple screw feature has few ene- mics

Washington, Feb. 3.-The purpose of the president to terminate the un- satisfactory state of affairs that have existed for some time as a result of numerous charges and counter-c charges and interviews respecting the cha~ac- ter of the srmy eef. by instituting a formal inquiry into tfre-e matters ard endeavoriDg to place the respons- bi,- ity where it belongs was made known today.
 The inquiry will not be undertaken before the commission to investiga. e the conduct of the war, has made it's report to the president. Tie scope Of this new inquiry has not been defined but 1t certainly will embrace the al legations by General Miles as to the character Of the army supplies, and will involve that officer to the extent that he must make these charges good, and to that degree he will be on trial himself in a preliminary way.
 Should the charges be found well established, a heavy responsibility would be placed upon the packers and persons concerned in meat inspection and perhaps others. Should they fall General Miles may ba obliged to answer to a court martial for the reflection upon the character of other officers.

 Several of Sherman's troopers, an advance guard Of the first division, galloped into the town and applied a torch to the court house. Almost in despair MT. Anthony mounted his horse and rode out to the advancing forces. He appealed to General Sher- man. So impressed was the general with the arguments of the preacher that he dispatched couriers into the village who stopped the work Of deso- lation. Mir. Anthony addressed a ser mon to the general and his slaff on the scot. When the army dtd reach the town it passed rapidly though and left it as scathless as it had found it.

 The proceedings in court were the first intimation the public had that Peters, who is a well known citizen, was the possessor of two wives, and the exciting scene in court caused q sensation. Peters did not know until this week that he was big2mist and that his second wife, whom he married nineteen years ago, the mother of seven of his eight children, was not his wife, but such is the fact.
 Twenty-fOur years ago Peters mar ried wife No. 1 in Vigo county, but was separated from her a year later. the wife and infant daughter remain ing there until now, she never remar- rying.
 Peters went to Champaign county, Illinois, where, without the fcrmalily of divorce, he married again, that be- ing nearly twenty years ago. Peters thought two years separation was q legal divorce and did not discover his error until now.
 Wife No. 1 was aware of her hus- bands remarriage, but made no trou- ble until he applied for the delayed di- vorce, then she came on and resisted the case, demanding substantial ali mOny. The denial of divorce puts Pet CTS in a tight box and the woman will proceed against him for bigamy.
