Matters Left in Very bad shape by
Present Congress-New ships Buiid-
ing Cannot he Accepted Even for
Lack of Men to Man Them.
Washington, March 2l-The navy de-
partment put the big double turretted
monitor Puritsn out Of commission ut
the Norfolk navy yard yesterday and it
is said at the navigation bureau that
this ship must be followed by others
speedily to the great detrimsnt OF the
plans of the department. The estimates
submitted to Congress based on the I'm
nimum requirements Of the navy provide
for u, 600 sailors
Congress cut this down to IS COO There
are now IS, 600 men In the service SO that
1900 OF these must be dropped Immediate
ly. That means, according to the navi-
cation officers that large part of the
North Atlantic squadron must go out of
commission. 1t Is probable that the
heavy reduction in the number of enlisted
men and consequently Of ships. will IN
terfeIe seriously with the conduct OF the
naval manousvres this year. Another
difficulty is going to the impossibihty
of putting into condition the new ships
as they are turned over to the government
by the builders simply for want OF men
to man them.
The action of the Senate yesterday in
the matter OF ships armor caused Secre-
tary Long to take prompt measures today
to bring the subject to the attention oil
the paval committees in the House and
Senate In the hope OF securing change
In the appropriation bill beiore IL Is
finally enacted. The Secretary and Capt.
O'Neil chief of tue ordnance bureau, In
comm unications sent to the ommittee,
declare that the action Of the Senate, II
adhered to, meant the total stoppage Of
all naval construction, saying that no
armor can be procured for $500 per ton.
1t might have beon possible, IL Is said,
at the department to GO on and build
ships without the arnior under ordinary
circumstances, trusting to the next Con-
gIess to provide for 1t, but for II clause
in the appropriation bill which provides
that no ships shall be built until the
armor Is contracted for. The effect Of the
two provisions will be to put complete
stop to ship business operations as far
as the navy is concerned. Although 1t Is
provided that "a government armor plant
shall be constructed in the event OF the
failure OF the department to secure bios
for supplying amor at the price fixed,
the ordnance officers say that suoh q
plant could not be constructed aud begin
to supply the armor inside Of two years
at the earliest. They also declare that
tho limit Of cost fixed for the plant is
less than half OF that found to Ge abso-
lutely necessary by the special naval
board which investigated the whole sub
ject of government armor plants few
years ago

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.
what Cecil Rhodes Sees in store for
This Country.

Copyright 1899 by the Associated Press.
Alexandria. Egypt, February l1.-Cecil
Rhodes. who, In the eyes of most English
men. Is the incaI nation of the imperialistic
policy holds views concerning the future
of the United States even more far reach-
ing than most American imperialists
have broached. Mr.. Rhodes. in conver-
sation with representative Of the A $50
ciatsd Press on board the steamer Hap
burg, on the Mediterr Rnean, by which he
came to Egypt In the interests Of the Cape
to Cairo Railroad and Telegraph, pre-
dioted most confidently that within q
century the United States would have ad-
vahc sd the work begun in the acquisition
OF Cuba until 1t controlled all OF the
American hemisphere except Canada.
He did not believe that the United
States would ever withdraw Its authority
from Cuba and thought the manner In
which Spain had been evicted from her
colonies and the United States hao taken
possession, most business like but Ameri-
ca g action in compensating Spain for the
Philippines surprising ~ would have
bunuled the Spaniaris out and made
them pay an indemnify" was his com.
ment.
He declared that the United States
COuiu never AGOl VIC
pines because 1t was their duty to}give
these people strong and good govern
ment; nor did he believe that when they
had begun TO realize the results OF their
work there, Americans would desire to
abandon the policy.
"There are no more islands of the sea to
be acquired. They are all taken up. The
territory of savage races is practically all
preempted by the civilized. The ultimate
work OF the United States will be to
govern South America. You will probably
begin with Mexico acquire the Central
American States then those on the oenti-
nent Of South America until you hold all
the country 20 the south Of you. south
ward is the logical drection of the expan-
sion of the United States. You will
possess all those states by force of arms
and that within q century"
Asked If Canada would logically be in
cluded in This expansion ne said that
Canada had good government and
therefore, there was no need for change.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l


Biddeford. March 2.-The Biddeford po-
lice commissioners. at their meeting TO-
night, received a communication from
the Democratic city committee, charging
Deputy Marshal James Mogan and OFF,
Ger Martin with intimidation and COM
mitting assaults on innocent citizens In

in Ward 6 They also made similar COM
plants against Otfcer John Hayes, who
was present at the Ward . caucus, and
Oricer Fred l.. Goodwin. who oficiatsd
as guardian OF the peace in Ward 8.
On the police commissioners action
will depend, In a measure, the course OF
the Democratic city committee in prose-
cutting the officers in question. In the
police court today complaints were filed
against Deputy Marshal Mogan, Officer
Martin and Alderman North M. West, q
legislative representative. The complain
ants were ex-Alderman Napoleon b. Os-
good, who was deposed as chairman of
the Ward 6 caucus. and ex-Aldermsn I'd
win Bardsley. Mr.. Osgood accuses Chair
man West Of pushing him of the plat
form, and states that he was roughly
handled by Mogan and Martin. The com
plant of MIR. Bardsley is that when he
atteu pied to prevent Mr.. Osgood from
falling he WAS seized by Officer Martin
and choked.
1t is exported that warrants against
these parties will be served tomorrow.
Ex x-Representative b. +. Hamilton will
represent the state in the prosecution.
If the police commissioners do not
promptly act in the matter, the warrants
against the accused parties will be served.
Ex- Representative Benz. f. Hamilton
win represent the state in the prosecu
tion.
City Clerk Murphy Is trying to induce
the Democratic and Republican commit
tees to withdraw their caucus records and
substitute nomination papers. But the
committee do not seem disposed to fol-
low this suggestion. Threats Of manda
mus proceedings to compel the clerk to
recognize the Democratic city commit
tees records Of last nights caucuses are
being indulged in.

TAXABLE VALUES
$36,727,696
Increase Over Last Year Little
More Than a Million.
PROPERTY OWNERSWERE SLY
Bearing Experience of Last Year in
Mind Gave in Property Very
Low Expecting Raises by
Board of Revenue
PROPERTY OWNERSWERE SLY

The work of compiling the tax assess
ments Of Jefferson county for the year
1899 has been completed and the books of
teresting figures.
The total taxable values of the county are
sS5, III, 696 divided as follows: Real estate
$2S, 324, O97 personal property $12.4OS,599.
Notwithstanding the fact that the board
of revenue made raises aggregating near
ly four and one-half million dollars the
total increase over last year is only ST.
ia, 95S.
This is explained by the fact that prop
erty owners disregarded the valuations
made by the board of county commission
ers for the previous year and returned
their property at low values in order to
forestall the action of the board of revenue.
The Increased Revenue
The valuations will yield total revenue
of $42S 1903, an increase of $31, 1858 over
1898 OF this amount Sl96,5O233 will go to
the state under the general fund while the
state school tax and the soldiers tax will
increase the amount by $7l,S77.65, making a
total of 67,S799S an increase over last
year.
The general fund of the county will re-
ceive $S9,S75.25 against $120,@9.91 last year,
the falling off being due to a reduction of
10 cents on the 500 in the county tax rate.
The road tax, school tax and bridge and
culvert tax will yield a total revenue of
81 1910 against SOS, 9S2.9S for 1885,
While the county tax rate has been re-
duced the saving is offset by an increase
in the state rate, which runs the total reve-
nue. up $31, 1O6.63 more than last year.
On next Monday Tax Assessor McLaugh-
lin will start on a tour of the county to
make assessments for 1900 and will be ac-
by Tax Assessor Francis, who
will collect this years taxes.
