THE NEW CRUISERS.

Washington, November 1.-THE
board on naval construction today
agreed upon a report, recommending
that the navy department award the
contracts for constructing the six new
protected cruisers authorized by con-
gress to the following concerns: Union
Iron Works, of San Francisco; Louis
Nixon, of the Crescent Shipbuilding
Works, Elizabethport, N. j.; The Bath
Iron Works, of Bath, Me-; The Trigg
Shipbuilding Company, OF Richmond,
Va; The Fore River Company, of Mas
~sachusetts; Neafie & Levy, Of Phila-
delphia, Pa
The recommendations will be made
in a report to be submitted to acting
Secretary Allen, by Admira O'Neil
president of the construction board, and
the awards are not final until the
boards findings are approved by the
secretary. The lowest bidders did not
receive the preference in all cases, and
it is to be presumed that the board was
influenced in it's selections by consid-
erations Of meritorious design ard un-
questionable ability Of the concerns to
perform h work they will be called
upon to undertake.

THE VACCINATION CASES.

Americas, Ga, November 1.-THE
cases Of the Christian Scientists who
refused to be vaccinated, were settled
today, so far as the mayors court can
settle them. by the sentencing of z. j.
McMath to imprisonment at the city
hall for thirty days and a Iine of SIS.
Five ladies Of the congregation were
sentenced to fifteen days confinement
at some place to be designated by the
chief of police and to pay a fine Of 50
each. The same sentences of fine and
Imprisonment will be assessed against
such other members of the congrega-
ton as may refuse to obey the vacci-
nation ordinance.
Mr.. McMath is a leading merchant
of Americas and h ladies involved
belong to the best families in the city.
Counsel has been employed to repre-
sent the Christian Scientists and their
cases will be -certioraried to the su-
perior Ii and will ultimately be car
ried to the supreme court of the state,
If necessary. The cases have caused
a great deal of talk throughout this
immediate section, and there has been
no small amount of feeling aroused by
the vigorous enforcement of the law.

THE GEORGIA FRANCHISE BILL.
Macon, Ga, November 17.-Bishop
H. NJ. Turner. of the African NJ. E.
church, delivered a sensational ad-
dress this morning to the Georgia con-
ference of the African Methodist
church. He urged every possible op-
position by Georgia negroes to the
Hardwick bill, to limit the suffrage
now before the Legislature. He said
he proposed taking the stump himself
and implored every minister to do like
wise. He said the law would reduce
every negro to the ignoble status of a
free slave and hat conditions would
be worse than before the war. 1t
would outlaw every black man M
Oma He said the author was mere
ly seeking notoriety and was backed
by the poor white" element. Not
one negro in thirty ever thinks of vot-
ing the bishop declared. They do
not sell their votes. Three votes are
SOLD for every negro ballot purchased"
The bishop denounced the supreme
court of the United States for taking
away the negroes civil rights, but
excepted Justice Harlan, who was the
negroes friend. He said the negroes
had no army, but that the God of ma
lions was on their side.
He urged that every minister assist
in getting signatures to the petition
to congress for an appropriation of
$105, 600, 900 to be used in sending 7,000,-
900 of the race to Africa. SO that there
would be an end of race conflicts in
this country. He said the Legislature
would have to fight the negro of Geor-
gia on his knee, as he prays night and
day to God Ito blight and curse the
promoters of this unrighteous meas
