80 NEW FIGHTERS.
To Be Added to the o. 9. Navy With
in the Coming Year.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Five battleships, one cruiser, one cadet
training ship and % torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyerS will comprise
the new construction completed and adj
ded to the navy within the next year.
Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn, chief
constructor of the navy makes this es-
innate in his annual report for the ifs
cal year ending July L last, which he
has just submitted to the secretary OF
the navy.
Final work on the battleship Kear-
sarge will be completed, he states, in
January next: the Kentucky will be
ready a month later, the Alabama Will
be in condition for active service in
January, the Wisconsin May 1st next
and the Illinois in October.
The Maine will be ready for sea in
June of 1901, the Missouri in February
of 1902 and the Ohio by March 5, 1902.
The four monitors under construction
will be turned over to the government
in 1901, in which all the torpedo boat
DESTROYER and torpedo boats should be
ready for delivery to the government
In explanation of his estimate of Sc, OOO,-
900 for the construction and repair OF
vessels, an increase of 50, 100000 over the
APPROXIMATION for the present fiscal year
Admiral Hichborn states that it has
been and will continue to be found nee
essary to expend comparatively large
sums in connection with the repairs of
the older vessels, in making the alter
atoms necessary for their efficiency ac-
cordfng to modern ideas and practice.
For instance, the alterations and re-
pairs to the Cincinnati and the Raleigh
will require an expenditure of about
$500 600, under the bureau of construc-
ton and repair.
Seventeen vessels, gunboats and tugs,
were secured by purchase and attached
to the Asiatic station. Work upon the
design of a gunbOat to replace the
Michigan on the Great Lakes, has been
suspended pending definition of the
characteristics that would be permitted
under treaty with Great Britain.
DELAY on vessels under construction
has bee0 occasioned, Admiral HichbOrn
asserts. BY the impossibility of securing
arnor and other material at the proper
time. especially in the case of some tor
pedo craft
Admiral Hichborn rendered his rec
concentrations, which enable the de-
partment to make a single contract for
ton of an assistant chief of the bureau
of construction and repair, the removal
of the limit of the number of Differed
corps, now restricted by law to 40, and
an increase in the number of carpenters
to IS.
war experience has demonstrated,
Admiral Hichborn states, the STRATEGY
cal and tactical advantages of Sheathed
over unsheathed ships. The war ex-
perience tended to confirm the favora-
bic opinions previously arrived at, and
these respects may be said to be thor
oughIy demonstrated. The battery ar
rangements have been proven to be ex-
ceIlent and the adViSa bility OF using
electricity for handling auxiliaries in
the place of steam is shown.

ANOTHER TREATY
Is Predicted Between United States
and Chill

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Negotiations are in progress between
the United States and Chilli which are
expected to result in the signing of
another treaty for the revival of the
Gillian claims commission.
Strong efforts will be made during the
coming session of congress to secure
legislation enabling the president to ap-
point a commission to pass upon all

United States must settle those Of its
citizens against Spain. These aggre-
gate $50, 600, 600.

DELEHANTY FIRST.
Big Philadelphia Ball Player Leads
National League Batters-

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Times Herald
today says:
The National League season ends
with big Ed Delehanty, who has con-
sistently and persistently stuck to the
batting honors all summer, figuring as
the top notch hitter of the profession,
coming in just a few pegs ahead of his
greatest rival, the man who twice led
the league in batting, Jesse Burkett.
AS Del is a straight-away hitter and
Burkett a bunter, the formers triumph
is a victory for sIuggers and for right
handed batsmen, as DELI starts from
the far side of the plate and Burkett
has a big advantage in getting down to
first after his Ieft-handed swing.
Little ''Muggsy' McGraw carries off
the base running honOrs. Heine Peitz,
the stocky German Of the Cincinnati
Reds, leads the catchers in fielding. Bill
Clark, let out by Pfttsburg long ago,
leads the first basemen, and Henry
Reitz. who has not played since early
spring, the second basemen. Lave Cross
leads the third basemen, George Davis,

In a Speech

the Oregonian from Spokane says:
A. NJ. Dewey, cousin of the admiral,
and a special agent of the United
States department of labor, who is here
investigating the Couer d'Alene labor
troubles, addressed an audience OF
union working men yesterday. He said:
4 declare myself a socialist. believe
in national paternalism in govern
mental ownership of all industries. The
competitive system of labor is today
the curse of the toiIers. There is no
hope for the betterment of the evil
conditions which now exist as result
of the antagonism of capital and labor
save in the establishment of the So
ciaIist form of government"
Speaking of the Occur d'AIene riots,
Mr.. Dewey said: 4, who am one of you,
say to you that labor organizations can
not afford to stand sponsor for
crimes"
He refused to discuss the report that
he will make to the department on the
Warden riots last April.

SHE WOULD NOT BETRAY.

[F'rom the San Francisco Bulletin.1
The murder was cold, commonplace,
ordinary, one of thousands of it's kind.
An old man, rich and alone, with hoard

from behind and killed, and the muir

EXPENSIVE SPORT.
Yacht Races Have Already Cost So
100000.

New York. Oct 16.-The New York
Yacht club. which has the management
OF the cup races, is the principal finan-
clal sufferer by the failures The Off
GERS say that each attempt to race costs
the club $1,000. Thus includes the clubs
steam boat, the half dozen tugs and the
incidental expenses
It Will be seen that the club has thus
far expended S21. 900 in the attempts to
pull off one race. 1t must expend at
least $4,000 more, inasmuch as one
yacht must win three times
The seven hukes have cost probably
not far from 81. 500 600 which has come
out of the pockets of the people who
wanted to see the yachts meet.
