THE FIVE NEW BATTLE SHIPS.
Circulars Issued by the Department
Defining Their Characteristics.

The Navy Department has issued circu-
lars defining the characteristics of five
battle ships authorized by the last two
naval appropriation bills. Bids asked for
three sheathed and coppered battle ships
and two without sheathing and coppering.
The five ships will be identical, with the
exception of the batteries. Three will be
built with superposed turrets, carrying
twelve-inch guns in the lower and eight
inch guns in the upper turrets. The re-
manning two ships will have the twelve
inch guns in two ordinary turrets and the
eight eight-inch guns in four turrets, ar
ranged quadrilaterally.
The general plans will be ready for ex-
animation September u next. Bids will
be opened November II. Bidders are eSpe-
cially invited to submit their own plans
under class ,, including their own arrange
ment of ordnance. The department re-
serves the right to change within six
months after contract the arrangement of
battery. turrets and armor. The vessels
are to be of IA 600 tons for the unsheathed
and 1000 tons for the Sheathed vessels
the speed being 10 knots and the coal ca
pacity 1900 tons. The time allowed for
the completion of the ships is thirty-six
months, under heavy penalties. ranging
from 800 to $500 per day for delay.
The ships will have belt of water-lne
armor feet wide and from to IL inches
thick running clear from bow to stern
The turrcts will have maximum thick
ness of IL inches. The ships will have
the usual protective deck and cellulose
belt, and no woodwork is to be admitted,
except where Indispensable. The engine
horsepower is placed at 1900, with triple
expansion, four-cylindered. twin-screw en-
gines. supplied by twenty-four water-tube
boilers Electricity will furnish the motive
power for the turrets and auXiliarieS.
Representatives of the smaller shipbuild-
ing plants are bringing pressure to bear
upon the Navy Department to secure the
simultaneous advertisement of all of the
fourteen naval vessels authorized to be
built In the past two naval appropriation
acts They have represented that such a
procedure would tend to insure a more sat
isfactory distribution of the naval work
among the shipbuilders by preventing the
big concerns from crowding out the smaller
ones, and the government would save at
least a million and half dollars. The de-
partment already has fixed upon November
10 next as the date for opening bids for the
construction of the five battle ships. and
the plans for the other ships can be made
ready, according to the smaller builders, by
that time If it is decided to undertake to

DEMANDS PROOF OF GUILT.
Opinion of Judge Lacombe in Nicely
Extruditi0n Case.

Judge Lacombe of the United States cir
cult court in New York city, in explana-
ton of his position regarding the Nicely
extradiuion proceedings. said:
''1n the entire sequence Of events down
to the date of the ratification of the
treaty of Paris. counsel for the prisoner
finds nothing to criticise as obnoxious to
the federal Constitution. On the day that
treaty was signed we were indisputably in
military occupation of the island; why
under the Constitution that occupation
legitimately entered upon. may not con-
tfnue to secure the lives and property of
American citizens within that territory,
until the political branch of the govern
ment shall be satisfied that its further
continuance is unnecessary, It is difficult
to conceive, and no authority cited in the
brief sustains any such proposition.
1.-The mere fact that the individual who
has committed crime in foreign coun-
try is himself citizen Of the United
States does not prevent the United States
from returning him to the country against
whose laws he has offended.
1T will be noted that the act of June 9,
1900, is most careful to safeguard the par
ty accused against unsubstantial charges
OF crime 1t provides that before the ac-
cused is returned there shall be an inquiry
before a judge of a federal court, who
shall hold such person on evidence es-
tablishing probable cause that he is guilty
Of the offense charged; if the evidence
falls to establish probable cause the ac-
cused shall not be returned.
There must be laid before the court
sworn statements to facts from which
the judge may reach conclusion. The OBJ
lection that the act Of June 6. 1860 is I'M
constitutional is unsound.
Witnesses need not be brought from
Cuba to testify here. but their sworn
statements can certainly be obtained, so

A CHRONICLE OF KANSAS CITY.
How the BOurbons, the DempOps and
the TeIIerites Met Together.

1t was in the year of Independence one
hundred and twenty-four, and on the ami
versary thereof, when the Conglomerites
met from throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
They assembled in the City of Kansas
which is on the south bank of the River
Missouri, and in the land of the Pukes;
The representatives of the three great
Tribes Of the South and West were gathered
in the walls of the City of Kansas to
choose from their three Tribes command
er of their hosts to lead them to battle;
There were the Tribe of Bourbons of the
house of jefferson:
There were the Dempops of the house of
Discomfort;
There were the Tellerites, dissenters from
the family of Republican, whose souls
bowed down in worship for the Silver Calf;
These were all bearing the yoke of the
Silver Mine owner, and were sore burdened;
They all clamored for William of Lincoln
to come forth as their host leader;
And the Dempops and the Telerites wor-
SHIPPED at the lesser shrine of Charleytowne,
whom they desired to sit in the chariot with
William of Lincoln;
They loved Charleytowne because of his
love for the Silver Calf and because he wa
glib of tongue:
But the Bourbons loved not Charley
towne, because he came not from their
of Jefferson;
There was much division ar,o-,--st the
Bourbons, because they WORSHIP d Gold
ana did not love Silver;
They desired not Free Silver, and they dis
scented loud and long over their DecIara-

AMERICAN CLOVER SEED.
Chief Clerk Geddes Says That 1t 1,
Highly Praised Abroad.

Chief Clerk Geddes Says That 1t is
Highly Praised Abroad.
Consul Schuman of Mainz recently in
formed the State Department that news
paper of that city warns the farmers against
buying American clover seed, giving as rea-
son that it contains many weed seeds as
to utterly ruin the fields planted Herewith,
besides yielding only a very poor crop A
copy of the report sent to the United
States Department of Agriculture and elicit
ed the following reply from Mr. Andrew
Geddes, chief clerk:
THE charge that American clover seed is
impure is very rarely made by European
dealers or experimentation workers of
reprte. On the contrary, the fact that
American clover seed is very pure and of
excellent terminating quality has been
recognized even by those who oppose its
use by European farmers. Among the seed
control workers in Europe, Noble, Eidam
and Kirchner have given testimony to the
high purity Of the American clover seed.
although the two latter have been hostile to
the American seed.
Very little European clover seed finds its
way to America, and it IS thus impossible
to make definite statement of its purity
as the result of our own Investigations
However, the Department of Agriculture
secured this spring twenty samples of Eu-
ropean clover seed for experimental pur-
poses The average purity of these was
93.49 per cent. The average purity Of 15O
samples of American clover seed Of all
grades sold on the American market dur
ing the past winter was $50 per cent
The charge that the product from the
American seed is inferior to that from the
European seed is a more serious one, in
asmuch as 1t Is made by the greater num-
Der of workers in the seed-control stations
Ihere are, however, notable exceptions. Dr.
Noble of Tharand has always maintained
that the American clover was of good
quality; and in recent Issue of the
Deutsche Observation-Disclosures Presse, Dr.
k1rchner. who had previously maintained
that American clover was inferior, gave the
results OF tests that clearly shows the
american product to be better than the
european The explanation of these con-
Hlctlng reports Is doubtless that the Ameri-
can seeds used In these tests did not all
come come from the same part of the United
states ana were OF varying quality
experiments are now being carried on
under the direction of the Secretary of
Asrlculture to determine the relative yaIue
In the United States of clover seed of F,uro-
pean and of American origin, and these
