struction of five new battleships and six
armored cruisers aggregating a total

the largest consignment OF material for
the navy contracted for at a single bid
ding.
The fine new battleships, Pennsylvan-
la, Georgia, Virginia and Rhode Island.
are divided into two classes to compro-
mise upon a controversy as to their tur-
ret systems. Three are to be sheathed
coppered, and will carry uper-lmposed
turrets. The other two are to be un-
sheathed vessels. having "quadrilateral
arrangement" OF eight inch turrets. To
meet the contingency that BIDS may be
in excess of the authorized cost, bidders
were invited to submit plans In each
case for both sheathed and unsheathed
ships.
There were eight bidders to-day for
the construction of five battleships and
six armored cruisers All the bids were
within the limit of cost fixed by the
appropriation. Careful inspection will
be necessary to determine which OF the
bids are actually the lowest. fndica-
tions are that the successful bidders for
one or more of the vessels will be the

ly after the conference Governor Muir

campaign which has for Its object the
admission OF the two territories to
statehood and repeal Of the clause in
the Shafroth irrigation bill that ex-
cludes territories from the proposed ir-

Governor Otcro said: I'VE are mem
bers ofteh governors committee that
is TO be present at the centennial ex-
ercises at the capitol next Wednesday
We are going to Washington for 9th I
reasons, however.
THE people of both territories have
often expressed a desire to have tn
matter OF statehood brought before
congress. They waited upon me a short
time ago and although / felt It would
have been better to have the legislature
take first action. still they have been
so ciamorous for immediate action that
we are trying to get the bill through
at the present session.
Another piece OF legislation that we
are to make every effort to effect Is the
naming of New Mexico and Arizona In
the irrigation bill Congressman Shat
roth has introduced. The only reason
We can see for the omission of terrific
rles is that the congressman OF Colorado
is making an effort to aid our cause ny
advancing argument why We should be
admitted to the family OF states.
why, we are the wards of the gov
ernment. and as wards are entitled to
even more consideration than are the
states, and we trust our plea for a
share. and n good share, of the appro-
priation, Will not be set aside"

BRITISH ARE JEALOUS.
London, Aug. 31.-The afternoon
papers today appear to be perplexed at
the Americo-Russian accord to secure
the prompt evacuation of Pekin- They
point out how completely this upSetS
preconceived notions of the grouping
of the powers on the Chinese questions
and the consensus of London editorial
opinion is that the proposals are an
tagonistic to British interests and that
the Chinese government Is re-estab-
lished and the ring leaders Of the pres
ent uprising are punished.

in unfriendly criticism, accusing
the United States of breaking the con-
cord of the powers and playing into the
hands of Russia against Great Britain
by supporting the suggestion of the en-
ployment of Lii Hung Chang, who the
paper declares is notoriously hostile to
Great Britain and friendly to Russia.
The Globe urges that the British gov
ernment oppose to the uttermost the
idea of the evacuation of Pelxin, in

AT PILGRIMS REST.
President Kruger Has Estab-

London, Aug. 31.-Lord Roberts, under
date of Belfast, August 29, reports to the
war office as follows:
''Buller telegraphs from Helvetia that
only a few of the enemy are there and
that this morning F'rench's and Pole
Carew's forces will move on their flank.
The advance of Dundonald's mounted
troops on their front caused them to
abandon a very strong position. The
country thus cleared, our troops moved
eastward. The South African Lighthouse,
after little opposition entered Waterfall
hoven, and drove the remnant of the en-
emy through the town.
French S'column reached Doornhoek,
overlooking Watervalonder with slight
opposition. Dundonald, with Strath-
cona's horse is further near Nooit
Gadacht. We have occupied Waterfall
hoven and Watervaldon. Butler reports
that Nooit Gadacht is apparently de-
serted. except by British prisoners, who
are passing in a continuous stream up
the line towards Watervalonder. No
Beers are visible. The natives report
that Kruger and all the commanders
left yesterday for Pilgrims Rest.
French reports the railway intact as
far as Watervalonder except for a small
bridge near the station, which has been
destroyed

HAVE POOR MEMORIES.
Joint Cases Go the Same Old Routine
in Police Court.

S. Kline and H. Hollis were tried in the
police court Thursday afternoon on the
charge of selling liquor and were both
discharged A few witnesses were call
ed in the case and they proved to be the
same old don't remember kind. They
testified that beer was sold in the joint
and that is sufficient to order the liquor
captured there destroyed
Hollis was also charged with exposing
goods for sale on Sunday which is a vio-
lation of the city ordinance and on this
charge he was found guilty and fined
$50. The witnesses in this case said they
looked through a hole in the door and
saw men standing before the bar drink
ing something but they could not say
what it was. They could see the money
change hands, however, and there was
sufficient evidence to prove the violation
of the ordinance.

BIG FIGHT RECEIPTS.
At Least $500 Taken in at the
Corbett- Mccoy Mill.

New York, Aug. .S1-The spectacle pre-
sented in the ring of the Twentieth Gen.
tury club in Madison Square Garden last
night when James J. Corbett, former
champion fighter of the world and Kid
Mccoy met to fight for a share of the
gate receipts which, according to Jim
Kennedy, the manager of the club,
amounted to $4,000 and were larger by
thousands than the receipts on any 9TH
er prize ring contest ever held was a
clean cut smashing mill There were two
stages to the fight.
One of them was the first round in
which Mccoy was the aggressor and in
which he seemed to hold Corbett safe.
outpointing and outf1ghting him from
gong to gong. Thereafter there was
nothing to it at all. In the second round
the former champion instead of playing
a waiting game, became the aggressor,
and soon had Mccoy guessing as to
what would happen next. It was not the
blow on the jaw that affected Mccoy.
The body punches laid him low
Corbett came out of the ring without
a mark or scratch or bruise on him. Nc
Coy's face was puffed and swollen and
his right eye was discolored. But other
wise he seemed to be none the worse for
his battle.

ing a great effort to make this the day

day all the way from so, 600 to $1,000 and
amusements of all kinds are on the
grounds The w. G. T. u, with head
