IMMENSE SUM FOR THE NAVY
ESTIMATES FOR DEPARTMENT
FOOT UP S75,OOO.OOO.
Congress, However, Will Probably
Scale the Appropriation Down to
S65,OOO,OOO.

New York, Feb. IA special TO the
Herald from Washington says: This
years naval appropriation bill will
carry more money than has been voted
by congress in any regular annual ap-
preparation bill since the civil war, and
probably viii authorize expenditures as
great as those under the regular ap-
preparation and the aIlOtments from
the $4,000, GOO national defense fund in
the fiscal year 1899.
The estimates Of the navy depart
ment for the year footed up S75, 000, 900
and the department would like to have
every cent Tor which it asked. Con-
gress viii scale down the estimates
wherever practicable, but it is expect
cd when the bill becomes a law il will
carry at least $50, 600. 600.
The first draft Of the measure has
been prepared by a subcommittee Of
the house committee on naval affairs
and is now under consideration by the
full committee. The subcommittee did
not do anything regarding the author
Ization of new ships or regarding the
purchase of armCT for ships already
authorized. leaving these matters to be
considered by the fun committee. Even
with these omissions the first draft Of
the bill carries d total of about $685.
OO0,0C0
1t is the aim of the committee to
bring the total in the bill, including
the appropriations for new ships and
armor, down to $50. 600 zoe. but il is
doubtful whether this can be done.
ASIDE from the items under the head
Of the increase of the navy. for which
the department estimated So. $50. lO1. an
increase Of more than SIC 900. 600 the
heaviest increases are under the head
or public works, including improve
mentS at navy yards and stations. new
dry docks and new buildings at the
naval academy. The departments es-
Inmates for public works footed up
nearly $l6,000000, an increase of more
than $1,000, OO0
The house committee has not vet
decided whether all the new ships re-
commended by Secretary Long shall
be authorized this year or not In
view OF the fact that little progress has
been made with the ships authorized
last year and as thu ship yards of the
country are pretty well filed with
work, there is disposition on the part
OF some members of congress. NOT to
authorize the full programme urged by
the secretary. The most troublesome
question is that of providing armor for
the ships already authorized. This
subject has not yet been taken UP.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 14.-In the cir
cult court Of the United States Judge
". y. Taft this afternoon denied the
motion for a preliminary injunction in
both Of the cases from Kentucky.
In addition to the attorneys in the
cases, most Of the members of the bar
of Cincinnati, CovingtOn and Newport
We're present ard the court room was
unable to hold all others wanting ad-
mission. Judge Taft completed the de-
livery of his opinion at. 200 D. m, and
occupied less than half an hour in de-
liveTing almost 1000 words
While the court held that no injUnc-
ton would issue under the bills, yet it
also held that after the cases had been
heard in the state courts they could get
in On error for review in the United
States supreme court.
After the decision was announced,
former Governor Bradley and his as
sOciate counsel announced that they
were unable to state what would be
the next step of the Republican state
officers of Kentucky. Counsel for the
plaintiffs held a long consultation in
the law library after the announcement
of the decision, and said they had no
doubt either Of the ultimate possibility
Of a hearing Of these cases in the
United States court as indicated by
Judge Taft, or Of the final result, but
ct present counsel could not say what
would be the next procedure. In an
nouncing his decision Judge Taft said:
I should have been able to decide
this question at the close Of the argu-
Llent, but the Importance Of the inter
ests involved and the outrageous char
acter Of the electoral frauds under the
forms of law, which the bills charge
that the state contest board is about
to consummate, have led me to give
the question presented a fuller and
more careful investigation. This has
only confirmed my first impression and
requires me TO make an order denying
the motion for a preliminary injunc-
fiOn in both cases "

THE LADY CHAPLAIN.
Convicts In the Wyoming State Peni-
tertiary Held Convention.


Mrs. May Preston Slosson, wife of
Professor Slosson Of Platt university.
has recently been appointed chaplain
to the Wyoming state penitentiary at
Laramie
Before her formal appointment as
chaplain, Mrs. SloSsOn devoted several
hours each week to teaching the con-
Viets. When the governor OF the state
decided that the welfare of the pris-
Oners called for the appointment of a
chaplain, he naturally turned to the
clergy, and it was expected that some
popular preacher of the day would re-
ceive the appointment. The convicts
held an independent convention, and
with one voice DetitiOned the governor
that Mrs. Slosson be made state chap
lain.
Mrs. SlOsson is a native Of New York
stare, and studied at Cornell univer-
5ity, where she was one Of the first
women enrolled: she was also the first
woman to receive from the university
the degree of Phi. D. In her under
graduate days she attracted the notice
Of President White and the late II. II.
Boyessn, and was distinguished in her
college course for her knowledge of lit
eratuTe and her readiness in compost

perlmental stage" Mrs. SlOsS1n says in
speaking of her appointment. 'and
