LARGE ESTIMATES FOR NAVY.
INCREASE DUE TO RECENT RAPID
DEVELOPMENT.

Estimates for the Year Must All Re
Submitted To-dny-Thc Largest
Item Is for "Increase of the
Navy" Amounting to $4,000 900.
Fifty-FOur Warships of All Glasses
Are Now Under COnstruction-TNvo
New Dry Docks Wanted.
Washington. Aug. 31.-The Secretary of
the Navy mas directed that all estimates
of the requirements for the naval service
next year shall be submitted by to-mor-
row, Sept. 1, thus giving him three months
for co-ordinating them for submission to
congress. Accordingly the several naval
bureaus have been active of late preparing
their final figures, and all the estimates.
with the exception of those relating TO
armor and ordinance, will be in hand to-
morrow.
They show in general a considerable In
crease all along the dine, owing to the
rapid development of che navy. the UMPIRE
cedented amount of naval ship building
now in progress, and the enlarged demands
growing out of the war, and the acquisi-
ton of new territory
The largest item is $4,000 600 under the
head Of increase of the navy" which
is $5,OO000O more than AMI previous esti-
under this head. 1t is due to the IN
usual number of warships now in course
OF construction, aggregating ifty-four in
all classes, total much in excess of the
number under construction at any pre-
Vlous time in the history of the navy
These include eleven battleships four mon
itors three armored cruisers, six protect
ed cruisers, thirty desroyers and torpedo
boats, and several miscellaneous craft,
submaIine boats, etc.
Admiral Melville will also make esti-
mates for new engineering plants, equip
ment, tools, buildings, etc, at Norfolk
Port Royal, Port Richard and Mare Is
land, Cal. These plants are old, and the
requirements now made on them induce
the chief engineer TO recommend the
most improved appliances and such re
modelling of buildings as win bring them
up to date.
Admiral Endicott, chief of the bureau
of yards and docks, will recommend two
more large dry docks on the Atlantic
seaboard, one at New York, and the other
at Norfolk. The estimate will be about
81, 10000 each.

FATEs OF FAMOUS HORSES.
The Celebrated Banquet Now "a Cab
Horse I'm London.

From the Philadelphia inquirer
The famous racer Banquet, known
throughout the United States on and off
the turf few years ago as one Of the
most reliable winners to be seen in sea-
sons running on the tracks, is eking out
meagre existence in London to-day pulling
a hanson and Illustrating the ironies OF
nfe perfectly. A few years ago he brought
thousands Of dollars a year TO his owners
and would any day have sold at auction
al a fancy price. To-day he is earning
scarcely hundred dollars clear profit for
his cabby and would hardly sell at one
fourth that amount. He has experienced
the vicissitudes OF misfortune as certainly
as any human being could.
He was taken 10 England some time ago
to try the English tracks. The climate per-
haps did not suit him. AZ any rate he made
successive failures. His owners sold him
and after one and another trial he passed
from hand to hand till he became the prop
erty of his present owner And there is no
one to rescue him from his fate
But like human driftwood he Is not alone
In his misfortunes. Many horses of world
wide fame have Jared as pitifully in their
later years. In the stables attached to the
Pasteur institute, Paris, might have been
seen tibN lDiS d6D Two uDiGtS OI European

Marshal Canrobert, which In happier days
had been The idol Of its master and had
followed him to his last resting-place; the
other was Baron Flints ST. Claude, the
winner of the grand steeplechase at Au-
teuil in 1890 These once-famous horses
were used for the production of serum. and
ended theis days as martyrs to science
still worse fate was the lot Of George
Frederick, the winner of the Derby of 1874.
Winning the derby was at once the crown
and end of his racing career. and after
many vicissitudes he found himself some
years later in the shafts of a cab. The III

ing about $4,000 or $4,000 reported as sub
scribed, still held by local committees and
subscribers.
Delay has occurred in raising the fund
by reason of published rumors that Ad-
miral Dewey has declined to accept the
proposed gift. The committee has never
received any declination from him and on
the contrary has every reason to believe
that he viii accept as a gracious and pre-
cious testimonial, a home purchased for
him in the name of so many of his admir-
ing fellow citizens.
This committee was invited by original
subscribers to act as custodian of the
Dewey fund. Its members put no personal
motive into the movement. They viii
gladly receive and hold for che object an
nounced al moneys that may be sent to
the treasurer. They do not doubt that the
fund win be raised to an amount worthy
of him, of the nation and of the contribu-
tors.
Checks may be payable TO United

urer of the fund, Washington, D. c.. who

Reciprocity Treaty With France
Does Not Cover Colonies.


Does Not Cover Colonies.
New York, Aug. 31.-The board of class
ification of the United States government
appraisers to-day announced a decision
relating to the Interpretation of the reclp-
rocal tariff agreement between the United
States and France. The merchandise in
the case in question was rum imported
from Martinique, co.ony Of France, upon
which the collector at this port assessed
the regular duty of $2.25 per proof gallon.
The importers protested, claiming that
the rates should be only $l.75 per proof
gallon, as provided for in the section Of
the Dingley tariff act relating 20 the rec
iprocity agreements. The board over
ruled the protest on the ground that the
agreement in question does not cover the
colonies of France.
