MORE NAVY YARDS NEEDED
Chief Constructor Hichborn Re
commends the Improvement.
DRY DOCKS A NECESSITY
Review Of the Work OF the Department.
for the Observation-Disclosures Price
OF Armor Delays Construction.
Nav Vessels in Service.

Washington, Oct. 15.-In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy
Chief Constructor Hichborn lays special
stress upon the necessity OF continuing
the work of improving the plants at
the various navy yards, inviting atten-
ton to those at Boston and League
Island. A plant is also recommended at
Algiers, La, as without it the new DOCK
will be worthless when completed.
Under the head of dry docks the re
port points out that the present build
ing programme does not affect the two
most important navy yards, viz: New
York and Norfolk, at which new DOCKS
of the largest size are urgently needeo
in view of the rapid increase OF the
number of battleships In commission.
Marine railways also are said to be
necessary for the economical handling
of torpedo boats and two such railways
are recommended at New York and one
each at Portsmouth, League island
Norfolk, Port Royal and Mare Island.
Under the head Of new construction
the report sets out the facts that con-
tracts for the more important ships au-
thorized by the last congress could not
be let because of the limitation placed
upon the cost of the armor. Never
theless, complete specifications for these
vessels have been prepared and are IN
cluded in the report. work on the us

Michigan, has been suspended. pending

results of the Spanish war will be sus-

adding: And that means the acquisition
of colonies and the general approval OF

and far-seeing statesman. Mr.. Bryan will
be the nominee of the democratic party
but / am of the opinion that his views on
the silver question and his opposition to
the course of the administration in the
Philippines will lead to his second de-
feat. The people who are making
money continued Mr.. Torrel, ''are the
farmers, who are getting good prices for
their wheat and other products; manu-
facturers whose establishments cannot
fill orders sent to them months ahead:
operatives and laborers and those people
who have now constant work are not, in
my opinion, going to vote for a change

GALLANT SAILOR LADS
Heroic Work of the Bennington's
Crew at Malabon.
COMMENDED FOR BRAVERY
Commander Taussig Mentions Assistant
Engineer Winship as Deserving of
Especial Consideration = Rare
Skill and Steady Nerve.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The navy de-
partment has made public a report from
Commander Taussig OF the Bennington,
with appended reports of subordinate
officers, concerning an engagement at
Malabon the 4th of March last. The
purpose of the department in making
public the report appears to be solely
to make known the gallant conduct of
the sailors engaged and that of Assist
ant Engineer Winship.
A landing was made at Malabon by
a force from the Bennington. the pur-
pose being to take Photographic views
of the damage wrought by the big shells
from the Monadnock
Although told by some Cinnamon
that there were armed insurgents
about, Commander Taussig took ample
precaution to prevent a surprise. One
of the steps taken was to post the ten
der BALANCE SO as to enfilade the north
wall. This boat was in charge of AS
sistant Engineer Winship and rendered
great service. The insurgents appeared
behind the entertainments and fired
upon the Benningtons people and upon
the BALANCE, and after an hour of de-
sultory shooting, not being authorized
to retain the place and having taken
the photographs desired Commander
Taussg withdrew his men, who were
fired at as they rowed away in their
boat.
Winship is especially commended for
gallantry by Commander Taussig. He
said he fired the 37-millimeter on the
BALANCE 81 times, and although wound
ed early in the action, retained charge
of the gun and the BALANCE. not only
throughout the action. but until the
ship returned to her anchorage about
noon. The BALANCE was lying bows on
to the beach, very holly engaged with
the enemy in the trenches and the fire
of musketry against her was hot, al
though the men fought without cover.

gotten safely beyond range. Upon his
return to the Bennington Winship,

Chairman Jones Confers With the Demo.
cratic Leaders,

st. Louis, Oct. 15.-Chairman Jones Of
the national democratic committee az
rived here this evening from New York
and went to the Planters hotel, where
he will confer with Vice-Chairman Stone
and other party leaders tomorrow. He
was met by L. Woodson, member of the
national committee from Kentucky, ana
the two spent some time talking over the
situation of the Blue Grass state. Com
mitteeman Woodson left soon after his
conference for Cairo, ILL.,, where he will
meet w. ]. Bryan. From there he will
escort Colonel Bryan through Kentucky
on his speechmaking tour.
Later in the evening Chairman Jones
was coseted with Vice-Chairman Stone,
Chairman Johnson of the executive COM
mittee, Sam B. Cook, Mr.. Devlin. mana
ger of the press bureau Of the national
committee. and other prominent demo-
Gratis. The time was spent talking over
the political situation and the develop
ments during Senator Jones absence in
Europe and in arranging the details for
tomorrow conference.
Among other business to be transacted
at to-morrow's conference is the transfer
to Chairman Jones of the affairs of the
| national committee, which have been in
the hands of Vice-Chairman Stone. 1t is
believed that the Devlin fight, which has
been engrossing the democratic faction in
Chicago, will come up and be settled by
some action on the part of Chairman
Jones and his associates.
The matter of raising funds with which
to carry on the coming national cam
paign will consume much of the attention
of those present tomorrow. Sam B. Cook.
having that matter in charge, has several
planks to present and these will receive
careful attention. Senator Jones, when
seen after the conference, said:
1.-THE democratic party will, in my opin-
ion. stand on all national issues in 1900
precisely where It stood in 1896. None OF
the issues for which it held out at that
time will be abandoned in 1900. Since that
time some other great questions have
arisen and are demanding attention from
the people of the United States. The
question of imperialism and of the con-
| troll of trusts by the federal government
| are the chief of these, and l am OF the
| opinion that they will play paramount,
part in the campaign of 1900. Which OF
| these questions will be chief depends OF
| the people. Both are material and botf
will be put to the front by the democrat
ic party in 1900. Bimetallism is as impera
tive an issue now as then and it VII

DISAPPOINTMENT NOT LIKELY.
Jeffries' Injury Will Probably Not Inter

New York, Oct 15.--Whether the
championship fight between Jeffr.es and
Sharkey will be held as scheduled on
Oct. q or postponed on account of the
champion having "a sprained arm IS
uncertain 90 yet. but It will be def!n-
itely settled Tuesday morning. At that
time the bandages will be removed and
it depends upon Jeffries whether ne
will continue to train for the date. The
physician who examined Jeffries' arm
thought the injury was not very serious
and the latest advices from the training
quarters are to the same erect. w.
A Brady and Tom O'Rourke Will meet
in New York Tuesday and will decl1e
what is to be done. O'Rourke Will take
a decided stand against the postpone
ment and thinks the injuries of no con-
sequence. Sharkey is of the same opin-
ion and thinks Jeffries has some other
reason for not wanting to fight on Oct.
o. Tonight ORourke said:
IT believe Jeffries will be able to use
his arm in three days as we'll AS he ever
did in his life and he must either fight
or forfeit on Oct. q. Sharkey had been
injured just before he fought Jetfries
in San Francisco. A strain in his back
had affected his kidneys and he wanted
a show. 1t was not allowed and every
body knows the result. Since Sharkey
has been training for this fight he has
met with three accidents, any one OF
which l believe was as bad as Jeffrles

pions. their lead after they had come to
the front, which was on May %, seldom
being so small as not to be reckoned as
safe. The real fight was for second place.
Brooklyn's winning of the pennant,
while devoid of any grand-stand elements,
was thoroughly impressive. They per-
formed tho remarkable feat of never re-
lnquishing their grip on first place after
taking that position.
Philadelphia, which finished third, was
bit too streaky TO win the pennant. but
still strong enough to be dangerous. They
held the lead along in the fore part OF
April, but by the middle Of June was as
| low as fifth. Then the Quakers began
| climbing UP again, and for the last three
months alternated with Boston in second
| and third place. Baltimore finished
fourth, in the position they have held for
the last two and half months.
The St. Louis team proved disappoint-

sition in the first division: then a close
