DELAYED BY EXPERTS.
Why Bids Have Not Been Asked on
New RnttIeEhfpS.

NtN
great deal OF comment has been at
tracted both in and out OF the navy by the
delay in preparing plans for battleships.
Congress last year made provision for
three March $. 1885. Secretary Long in
structed the board on construction TO pre-
pare circular for intending bidders. This
circular was to be preliminary TO any plans
and specifications. in advance Of the latter,
perhaps by five or six months. The circu-
lar was to set forth the most general char
acteristics OF the battleships, such as the
length, draft, displacement, number Of guns
in the battery. etc
1t would ordinarily require a few weeks
OF time to afford ample opportunity 20
make up such a circular. Nothing has
been done by the board toward composing
IL and the ten months since the date Of the
Secretary's instructions have been expend-
ed in casual discussions Of the various
propositions mainly affecting the arrange
ments of the ordnance of the ships A
number Of plans Of batteries have been
submitted to the board-fully ten different
/ ideas-but none appears to meet with the
approval Of the experts
This failure to decide upon the battery
delays ali other work, since the distribu-
tion Of other weights among the other de-
partments OF the ship depends largely upon
the amount and the location Of the main
and secondary batteries. The design OF
the hull, of course. is out of the question
until the guns are placed on paper.
1t will take at least six months TO get
up the plans, after the circular Of general
description has been completed. 1t will be
at least June or July OF this year before
the plans will be ready for the bidders and
another month before proposals can De
made and September OF nearly a year from
now, before the contracts for the tree
battleships can be awarded.

aRowTH oF TRADE UNIONS.
The Onward March of Organized La
bOr I'm the district.

A prominent trades unionist in speaking
Of the progress made by organized labor
during the last year said that marked I'm
provement in the conditions Of the work
ingman could be seen on all sides.
This is especially true" he said, ''of the
condition Of affairs in the District Of Co
lumbia. During the last year there was
little or no trouble between the employed
and the employers, what differences did
arise having been amicably settled and al
ways to the full satisfaction Of the wage
earners.
The greatest concession gained was in
the matter Of the increase OF pay for the
employees in the Government Printing Of
fee when the wages OF the printers and
bookbinders was increased from $3.50 to
81 per day.
Another concession was gained in refer
ence to the payment Of machinists en-
ployed at the Washington navy yard when
through the efforts of Samuel GOmpers,
President OF the American Federation OF
Labor. they received extra money for the
overtime work done during the late war.
There was also a short strike OF the
buj this was settled after a conference
lasting three days in favor Of the work
men who were granted the increase Of
wages asked.
An this has been accomplished by the
trades uniOnists, through the influence and
power Cf the American Federation Of Labor
This recalls 10 mind the time not so very
long ago when IL was nearly worth mans
life 20 publicly avOw his allegiance 20
trades uniOnism in the District Of COlum
bia.
Not more than FIVE or six years ago the
city Was almost entirely under the dOmina
tion Of the knights Of Labor. so far as
the interests Of the labOring man were
concerned. There WERE however. few,
not more than three or four OF the forty
or fifty labor organizations in the city at
that time. which dared 10 stand FOR trades
uniOnism.
These extended an invitation 10 Samuel
Gompers Presiden, Of the American Feder
alton OF Labor. a trades unionist. body, 10
come 10 this city and deliver an address
He came. but it is said he was threatened
with all sorts Of indignities.
only a few Of the wOrkmen OF the citv
assembled TO hear him speak on the prin-
ciples OF trades uniOnism, and he went
away not knowing whether or not his words
had taken root. Soon after this open war
was made between the trades uDionists and
the Knights Of Labor in connection with
the laying Of boycott against the local
brewing companies.
The Central Labor Union. a trades IN
iOnist organization. was organized as the
result OF the break in the relations among
local labor unions. As stated, there were
but few trades unionisJ organizations in
the city at that time. Since then the Cen
tral Labor Union has steadily increased
IN the number Of bodies affiliated. till now
1t is the most powerful central labor or
gauiZa,iOn IN the Dis trict."

SOUTH AFRICA's PLAQUES.

lFrom AinslCe's M8gazine)
South Africa imports hides. wool. and
mOhair and the ranchman would reveI in
riches were it not for the various pests
that decimate his flOcks and herds The
most deadly one is the rinderpest. a cattle
plague which in the last ten years has
been slowly creeping from Central Africa
southwark, leaving a wake OF Whitened
bones In travelling through Natal I saw
fifty oxen lying dead about a spring where
they had tumbled one over the other. so
suddenly had the disease attacked them. II
was almost impossible then to get an un-
tinged piece Of steak at a restaurant,
though the proprietor resented any such
charge, and a plethoric German traveller
who called in a loud tone for roast rim
derpest' in the railroad cafe at De Aar
Junction, Cape Colony. had to be picked
up in fragments. DR.. Koch and other en-
inent specialists tried in vain to stop this
plague The country is now recovering
from it slowly.
Another pest is the tsetse fly. an insect
resembling our common house fly, but three
times as large. lis bite will kill a harse.
COW, or any other domestic animal in about
ten days, but. strange to say, does not af-
feet a wild animal or a human being. A
less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest
is the white ant, which is about ne-auar-
ter Of an inch long and ubiquitous in many
parts of the country. They live under
ground and can only be routed by killing
the queen, which sometimes reaches the
size Of one inch In length. This insect is
particularly harassing in Rhodesia At
Buluwayo my travelling companion inad-
vertenly left his boots on the floor after
turning in at night, and he arose next
morning TO find the uppers carefully sepa-
rated from the soles. Lucky you didn't

hOtelkeeper's only consolation. These ants
will eat through anything but metal, and
for that reason much Of the building Is
done with corrugated iron. The ant hill is
one of the conspicuous landparks in tTav-
cling over South Africa"

ZIONLSTS WELCOMED HOME
COOPER UNION FOR THE SUCCESS
OF THE MOVEMENT

Three thousand people met last evening at Cooper
Union to welcome home the American delegates to
the fourth Zionist Congress at London. The re-
ception was given under the auspices of the Asso-
ciated Zionists Of New-York. Isidor D. Morrison
secretary of the Federated American Zionists pre-
sided. In his address of welcome he said:
The Zionist movement is the effort of a scattered
organized force which has for goal the lifting up up
of people from the degredation into which foreign
oppression has driven it 1t Is time that the nations
understood our motives. Here in America is the
tonal honor and liberty for here we have the SYM iI
patty denied US eIstwhere. @ our purpose is grad

were called by God.
Professor R. Gottheil, president of the Federated
American Zionists, who represented the United
States at the London congress, read his report He
said that the meeting at London the greatest
success of the present movement The congress
carefully discussed the possible amelioration of tb
Jews in all lands. and a protest was made against
the starvation of Jews in Galcia- their expulsion
from Rumania and their oppression in Russia II
was urged that the permanent organization for
emancipation at Vienna should receive the moral
and financial support of every Israelite. The con-
gress adjourned after appeal for universal peace
had been made
The Rev Pereira Cohn spoke on the spiritual
destiny OF Zionism- The present movement he
said, is a revival of Judaism, which l hope will
not cease until the Hebrew race are acknowledged
as in past TO be the spiritual leaders and
comforters of mankind The God of Abraham is
the God Of all nations. The world has need of a
renaissance Of Judaism. The Jews are the only
race sufficiently dsinterested to be the arbtrators
of war"
The speaker appealed to the Jews to set an ex-
ample of personal purity, for by that alone
could the Hebrew name win respect. He urged
every Jew to do his utmost to help purify the po-
ntcal life of his adopted country.
DR.. David Blaustein spoke in a similar vein Mrs
Richard Gottheil gave a supplementary report on
the London congress Joseph Self and the Rev II
Masiansky spoke in an optimistic vein regarding
the future Of the movement The 'Massoth Naf-
shi," by the Rev. David Cohn. and the beautiful
Zion hymn, God, We Implore Of Thee" were sung
with feeling by the entire audience. 80
