sight Of the important senatorial
primaries to be held. The plan
is simple-to postpone until
after the August election all
consideration Of the next United

was to break out while the suf-
flage amendment was being
pressed under the fire of its en-

SALOON MEN ORGANIZE.
Many Joining a Secret Society to
Fight Temperance.

New York, March 6.-The Knights
of the Royal Arch, a semi protective
and beneficial order, membership IN
which is confined exclusively to persons
engaged in the liquor traffic, has been
in existence for some time past, having
been organized in Hot Springs, Ark,
but it's field up to the present time has
been confined to states in the south and
southwest.
Two prominent members of the order
have been in New York for several days
for the purpose of ascertalnlng the
sentiment of persons engaged IN Ine
liquor business toward the establish
Inent OF the order in this state. They
have called a meeting of liquor men to
be held in this city today, when the
purposes of the order will be explained
and steps will be taken to organize
lodge. The order has a total member
ship in the United States of 10000.
No denial is made by those interested
in the order that one of its chief objects
is to influence legislation in favor of
those engaged in the liquor business.
The constitution of the order of the
knights OF the Royal Arch provides
that membership is open not only to
brewers, wholesale liquor dealers, sa-
loonkeepers and barkeepers but even
to men whose duty it is to sweep out
saloons each day and drivers of brewery
wagons. Members are under obi cation
to stand by each other in matters at
fecting their mutual interests. Candi-
dates must be of good moral character,
believe in a Divine being and must not
be ''habituaI drunkards or persons of
doubtful reputation. The chief officer
of the national organization is called
the supreme valiant commander. The
organizers make no denial of the fact
that the temperance societies viii be
fought by the order in every way.
Liquor men of this city who are in
terested is the order said that after it
is well established in this state partic-
ular efforts will be directed toward
bringing about the repeal of the Raines
law. the abolition of the war tax upon
beer, and the reduction of the present
tax on whisky

ALL WERE PRESENT.
Twelve Members of the City Council
Answered Roll Call.

For the first time in many months
there were IL councilmen present at the
meeting of the city council last evening
the full number. The various city Of
dcers whose. presence is generally re-
quired were also present. A smile
spread over the countenance of Mayor
Drew when II councilmen voted yes
on the pawn brokers ordinance-it was
SO unusual.
The ordinance to regulate house NOV
ers, as recommended by City Engineer
Wise was passed. It provides that all
permits to move houses must be signed
by both the fire marshal and the city
engineer. The mover must report the
place from and to which the house is to
be moved, and the city engineer pre-
scribes the route to be taken and may
require planks to be laid on the pave
ment in order to save the pavement
from injury. The mover is also requir-
ed ia pay for all damage which may be
done to streets or sidewalks.
Seventy-five new arc lights will be
added tic the city electric light equip
ment in the near future. Upwards IT
20 of these will go to Potwin and the
balance viii be distributed around over
the city where they are needed. The
electric light committee to which was
referred the recommendations of the
superintendent of the electric light
plant at the last council meeting, rec
commended that a new 100 light dynamo
be added to the plant. and that the
equipment for 10 additional arc lights
be purchased.
D. H Morgan and other residents of
Potwin have petitioned for a new side
walk on the north side of Laurel avenue
between WoodlaWn and ElmWood ave-
nueS.
The council will meet again next Mon
day evening 20 take up a large amount
of business which has been referred to
the streets and walks committee.

the city council passed the junk shop
and pawn broker ordinances last even
ing. The former provides that every
junk dealer shall keep a record of all
purchases which he makes, with de-
scription of the goods, the date, and the
name and residence of the person from
whom the purchase is made. He must
also allow the police to inspect his stock
whenever they wish to do SO. Dealers
are forbidden from making purchases,
from minors, and this will make it off
ficuH for boys to dispose of any stuff
which they may steal. The penalty for
noncompliance with the provisions of
the ordinance is a fine ranging from SIS
to $500.
The pawn broker ordinance is similar
to that regulating the junk dealers. but
the minimum penalty is a fine of $50.

WIDTH OF PAYING.
Ordinance Providing For Uniformity
Referred to Committee.

The ordinance providing for uniform
width of the pavement on residence
streets was again brought up at the
council meeting last evening, and was
referred to the streets and walks COM
mittee.
City Attorney Bird uregd that the
ordinance be passed before any more
paving petitions were received, because
the city is liable to get into trouble.
Away back II or IA years ago, Mr.
Bird explained. several ordinances were
passed fixing the width of roadways of
certain streets. Those ordinances had
never been repealed, and if a street is
paved a different width from what is
specified in those ordinances, without
change is made, it might invalidate the
paving bonds In addition to this, Mr..
Bird said, so many different widths of
pavings have been granted that at some
street intersections there are four diff
ferent widths of pavings.
The proposed ordinance provides that
the paving on the residence streets shall
be one-third the width of the street,
providing that no paving shall be less
than rs feet wide, nor more than As
feet

OUR new NAVY.
Congress to Spend 100000
For More Fighting Vessels.

New York, March "a special to the
Herald from Washington, D. q, SAYS:
Provision will he made in this years
naval appropriation bill for A construc-
ton programme fully equal to the ex-
pectation Of the friends of the service.
The bill will probably be reported by
the house committee on naval affairs
before the end of the present week. 1t
is still subject to change but as it
stands, it provides for two large battle
ships, three armored cruisers of 1850
tons displacement, three protected cruis-
ers of 5000 tons displacement and four
gunboats of 900 tons displacement.
The committee has not yet fixed the
size of the battleships but they will pro-
badly be $4,000 or $1,000 tons. The armor-
ed cruisers are to have high speed and
large coal capacity, with the heaviest
armOrs and armament possible to be car
ried on vessels of their type. The three
protected cruisers are to be improved
Olympia. The gunboats are to be de-
signed with special reference to their
use among the Philippines.
In deciding to provide for the armored
cruisers and protected cruisers members
of the committe were largely influenced
by the recommendations of Admiral
Dewey, who declared armored cruisers
superior to battleships in many re-
SpectS, their inferiOrity in armOr and
armament being more then compensa-
ted for, in his opinion, by their greater
radious of action and their speed and
manoevreing qualities. He said he would
be willing to fight such an armored
cruiser as he recommended against any
battleShip.
Admiral Dewey's experience with the
Olympia and the other protected cruis-
in MS squadron at the battle of Ma
Mia led him to recommend the con-
Struction of similar vessels as the
Olympia, bat with larger displacement,
so as 90 admit of their carrying keav Ter
batteries, and more protection for their
guns.
No final decision has yet been reach
ed as to the armor for the new vessels
and for those authorized in former bills.
but it has practically been decided by
the committee to provide that they
shall have the very best armor obtain
able and to increase the limit of cost
TO $546 per ton. Last years bill fixed
the limit at $500 and the secretary of
the navy has been unable to contract
for krupp armor at that price The in
creased limit will enable him to secure
this armor
AS the bill stands it carries appropri-
atoms aggregating about 500, 600 600. This
limit may be increased if the committee
yields to pressure being exerted from
cities IN which navy yards are located
to provide that some of the ships shall
be built in government yards. If this is
decided upon it will be necessary to
very largely increase the appropriations
for navy yards, SO as to provide for new
shops and machinery plants 1t is not
probable that this will be done

No PAY FOR YERLIN.
Quarrel Over Cost of Old Smallpox.
Detention Hospital.

In the list of bills recommended for
allowance by the committee on claims
and accounts at last evenings council
meeting, was one submitted by j. z.
Verlin for balance due him for the
furniture in the old Fourth Avenue
hotel, which the city purchased for the
use of smallpox patients quartered
there. The bill made considerable trou-
BILE
The entire amount that was to be
paid for the furniture was $3.50, and
Mr.. Verlin was to pay the rent, water
and light bills There still remains I'M
paid $3.50.
The committee on claims recommend
ed that the bill be allowed, but that
the warrant be drawn in favor of B. F.
Golden, who claimed that Verlin still
owed him for the rent.
Councilman Warner, chairman of the
claims committee, said that Mr.. Verlin
had a statement to make, and asked
that he be allowed to make it.
Mr.. Verlin said he did not think the
city ought to act as a collecting agent
for Mr.. Golden. and that if the money
were paid to Golden, he, Verlin, would
collect it over again from the city.
Councilman Warner then said several
things about Verlin. He said that Yer
lin had acknowledged that he owed Col
den, and as the city had received the
benefit of the rent. he thought that
Golden should receive his money.
Attorney Bird of trying to get Golden
to sue him.
Mr.. Bird promptly stated that what
Verlin said was not true, and Mr.. War
ner backed up the statement.
Mr.. Warner moved that the report OF
the claims committee be adopted but
some one called for an opinion from
the city attorney, and Mr.. Bird advised
that the money be paid to neither Yer
lin nor Golden until they have adjusted
their differences in court or otherwise.
Mr.. Warmers motion referred to the
report of the committee on the entire
expenditures for the month of February
but most of the council understood that
it referred only to the Verlin claim
and they promptly voted it down, in
tending to act on City Attorney Birds
suggestion.
When they discovered that their ac-
ton had knocked out over $4,000 OF
other claims, the councilmen who ha6
voted against Mr.. Warmers motion
made haste to back down. They recon
sidered their action, and after exclud-
ing Mr.. Verlin's claim from the list
they adopted the balance of the report
