Removing Dirt.

Mr. John b. Burg of Brookland who re-
Gently complained to the District Commits
sioners of the cartirg away Of earth from
Fort street, and who asked that the street
be improved has been informed by the
Commissioners that the street between 18th

but is a public benefit. the amount of
material that must be removed from the
street in order to bring it to grade Is very
large.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR
THE BIG SHIP CANAL
It Will Provide Passage From Lake
Erie to the Hudson
River

ALBANY, July 26.-Engineer George
w. Rafter, in charge of the survey for
the proposed ship canal from the Great
Lakes TO the Atlantic Ocean, has COM
pleted his preliminary work and drawn
his report The project is to cut a canal
thirty feet deep and $40 feet wide.
which is three and one-third the depth
and five times the width of the Erie
Canal from Lake Erie to Lake On
tario. around Niagara Falls, leaving
Lake Ontario at Oswego River, through
Oswego River to Oneida Lake. thence
through the Mohawk Valley to the
Hudson River. A single lock will be
thousand feet long and will be over
iftv feet high The greatest problem
has been to find storage for water to
feed this great canal on its various
levels and vet not affect the water sup
plv of manufacturing concerns now US
ing various rivers Mr.. Rafter plans a
great dam at Carthage, on the Black
River. in Jefferson County making a
lake covering eighty square miles OF
land TO feed the canal.
From this reservoir Mr.. Rafter has
located a canal nine miles long, as wide
as the Erie. to the proposed ship canal,
inst west of Rome and on the way
down has planned a secondary reser-
yoir in the Salmon River. The COM
MISSIONS work also includes a similar
survey for a canal of the same charac-
fer leaving the st. Lawrence River at

Long Divides 1t Among
the Bureaus.
CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR EAsED
HERETOFORE IT HAS ALL REST
ED ON HIS SHOULDERS.
This Ruling Settles the Long-stand-
ing Dispute Among the Heads
of the Various De-
partments.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Secretary
Long has passed upon the long pending
and rather personal difference which
has existed among the heads Of the
various naval bureaus concerning the
building Of new ships, and as result
a new order, to be known as special
order No 84. will appear in day or
so amending the present system. The
matter has aroused considerable Ieel-
ing among naval officials and the Board
of Construction has divided INTO ma
iority and minority elements, each pre-
senting reports as to what should De
done. The main point has been the ex-
tent of authority and responsibility "l
the chief constructor and the deslrabll-
ity of having his bureau pass upon the
proposals of all other bureaus In the
building, arming and equipping OF new
ships.
Secretary Herbert placed the respon-
sibility almost entirely with the chlef
constructor as to all parts OF the snip
and the ship as a whole, and this order.
known as 433. has been the subject Oh
the difference.
The new order follows in the main the
language of the old one. but some
changes in the text were made which
will work considerable variation in the
system. Section l is changed so as to
omit the designs of all ships from the
responsibilities charged upon the chlef
constructor Heretofore, he mas been
charged with the responsibility Tor the
designs, structural strength and the
stability" of all ships.
Sections and are changed so that
the chief constructor in passing on pro-
posed changes of design, equipment
etc. is authorized to state objections
so far as relates to matters under the
<,ooni1ance of said bureau" The other
hItTeaus also are required to confine
their efforts to matters under their own
bureau. The general effect of the. new
rule appears to be in the line OF giving
each bureau a larger share of respon-
sibility over affairs directly under H.

TAKING TESTIMONY ON
THE SMELTER TROUBLE
State Board of Arbitration Has Fin
ished It's Investigation and Will
Sit in Pueblo.

DENVER, July 26-The State Board Of
Arbitration to-day concluded it's investi-
CATION in this city of the causes Of the
deadlock between the smelter managers
and their workmen, in consequence of
which the smelters that are in the trust
have been idle since June 10.
The board will take testimony at Pueblo
tomorrow and will reassemble in Denver
FRIDAY to hear arguments. The impress
sion is gaining ground that the board 5
decision will be accepted by both sides to
the controversy and that the smelters will
resume operations next week. The testi-
mony given to-day bore chiefly upon the
relations of the smelters to other indus
tries, showing that practically all the pco-
pie Of the State are suffering on account
of the cessation of work.
Managers ]. B. Grant and Dennis
Sheedy both claimed that it was impossi-
BILE to grant an eight-hour day and the in
crease of wages demanded by the men; as
the increased expense would have to be
placed upon the producers of ores and
would lead to the closing of many low
grade mines.

STATE LAW BARS
NICKEL MACHINES
Thus a San Jose Justice Declares in
Deciding an Offender
G11i1tu

SAN. JOSE. July 26.-Saloon keepers,
cigar dealers and others who reap har-
vests of nickels from nickel-in-the-slot
machines are deeply interested in the
case of A. Klein who was found guilty
by Justice Hirsch to-day of having vio-
lated the State law in maintaining one
of these gambling devices in his saloon.
Klein, who IS proprietor of the Pastime
saloon on South Market street, and his
two bartenders were arrested a short
time ago charged with having robbed
Henry Eekner, a rancher, of $40. They
were acquitted, as it was shown Lekner
had spent his money in a nickel-tn-the-
slot machine Lekner then charged Klein
with conducting one of these machines.
This city and county license these gam
bling devices and Klein's licenses We're
presented in court as evidence OF his
right to have nickel-in-the-slot machines
in his saloon. Justice Hirsch, however,
found him guilty under the State law and
held him in $500 bonds for appearance for
sentence tomorrow morning.
The case will be appealed to the super
Tor Court 1t will be watched with in
terest, as ii involves a clash of authority
between the State law and city and coun-
~ ordinances Other saloon keepers and
tobacco men were to have been arrested
for conducting these machines, but me
arrests have been delayed pending the
result of the appeal. 1t is said they have
organized to fight the case.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
July administrator officials are
much relieved by the prospects of an
early settlement of the Alaskan boun-
dairy dispute There never was any
fear that controversy would lead TO
serious disagreement with Great Bri-
tain, but it was thought at one time
that the obstacles placed in the way by
Canada would result in prolonging ne
gotiations and might cause friction be-
tween the United States and Canadian
officials in the disputed territory.
1 was told to-day by an official that
the two Governments were already con-
sidering permanent settlement of the
controversy on the lines proposed in the
nodus vivendi. This official was sure
that if the United States granted Great
Britain a free port of entry on the
Lynn Canal, under the sovereignty of
the United States, the privilege thus
granted would be made permanent.
Any agreement by Great Britain on
this basis will be far reaching In effect,
as it will amount practically to an ac-
acknowledgement by the British Govern
ment Of the claim Of the United States
to sovereignty over the Lynn CdHdl
and surrounding territory and will re-
move the only difficulty in the way of
a final demarkation of the entire bOun
dary line.
The granting of free port would be
a new departure for the United States,
as never has a foreign power been
given such rights as it is purposed to
allow Great Britain in this instance.
1t is analogous to the right of shipment
of ~, hnnd thrOnph territory of
the United States to Canada, but does
further and amounts practically to a
lease Of the port to a foreign power
1t would naturally necessitate the
United States maintaining an inspec-
ton service in the leased port to pre-
vent the smuggling of goods into con-
tiguous territory, but the expense of
this service would be paid out of the
rental received from the British Gov
ernment.
