Three New Warships Planned for
the American Navy.

passs Anythings Wow AAoat ~
In the yVOrld.

Designs for the greatest battleships
ever projected for the American navy
have been agreed upon By the naval
board Of construction after several
months Of discussionsover the impor-|
tant ntquestions. Of battery, arnor, speed.
coal capacity and displacement. The
three new vessels, ia. be called the
Georgia, the New Jersey and the Penn
ssylvania will equal IN formid ability
the finest line Of battleships yet laid
down by any foreign power, and, with
the addition Of typical American inn
sproyements will surpass in fighting
force any ships now adoat. $S
The salient features Of the design
contemplate a displacement Of approx-
imately 1900 tons, as compared with
/ the Oregon's il 600 or the New Names!
12, 800. The speed is to be s'at least 10
knots, y with coal bunker capacity Of
z, 900 tons. Vi: B.
There will be two superimpose tur-
srets, one fore and the other aft, each
containing two Pinch and two s-inch
guns of the new elongated bore and
high smokeless powder velocity. The
remaining guns Of the main battery
will consist of 10 6-inch quick fire in
broadside. This arrangement Of bat
terry, has been finally adopted, instead
of an alternative plan which provided
for four 12inch guns in turrets and 16
6-inch broadside, which had been put
forward to avoid the expedient of SUI
perimposed turrets. The two-story
turrets, which are distinctively
American innovation as applied to
the Kearsarge7 and the Kentucky,
are. regarded as no longer of doubt
full success, and it is known that
foreign governments are preparing to
adopt them to secure the concentra-
ton and angle of fire they afford, which
is unapproached by any other expedi-
ent.
The board also definitely determined
upon the use of the most modern
Kruppized armor for the new vessels,
it's precise distribution to be decided
upon after the chief constructor had
made sufficient progress with the ac-=
tual plans to determine the proper ar
rangement of weights. The armor
problem has been the most difficult to
solve, and to this cause is attributable
the delay in planning the ships.
The total cost of each of these three
ships, when ready for sea, will exceed
$7,o0o,ooo each. They will cruise 1000
miles straightaway, and there will not
be three ships of similar offensive and
defensive strength in the feet of any
possible enemy. @'. .,s-se.$s=~ >..s.s. h

New York, Aug. 16.-Such furious

there were about fifty persons injured
by pistol balls, razors or knives, rocks
or clubs. Of these one negro, Lloyd Lee,

Butte, Aug. 16.-The Elks were out
last night, the reason of a mid summer
outing of Butte lodge, and as is always
the case, the Elks celebrated the affair
in glorious style. A ball game was played
during the forenoon between the teams
of Butte and Anaconda Elks. Score, 8 to
2, in favor of Butte. The arrival of the
main body of Elks from Anaconda was
an event. They came in a special train
which was decorated with national and
Elk colors, and after an informal recep-
tion at the lodge room, lasting about an
hour, four big decorated cars were taken
for the Columbia gardens, which were
reached at little after o'clock. Leav
ing the cars the party repaired to the
dancing pavilion, and nearly four hours
were danced away. At the hour of mid
night the banquet hall presented an ap-
pearance, mere description of which is
inadequate to convey an idea of it's ele-
gance. The tables, which were set to
accommodate over 500 guests, were ar
ranged with rare taste.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Eighteen Hundred Bushels of Wheat in
Stack is Burned,

Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock five
stacks of wheat belonging to Geo. M.
Graham, who lives about five miles north
of town on the Saltwater was destroyed
by fire. The fire started from a small
one which had been started for the pur-
pose of doing some family washing. The
high wind scattered the burning Goals
across a stubble- field, setting it ablaze,
and then communicated with the stacks
of grain.
The amount of grain burned was the
product of 40 acres of ground, and the
yield was computed at As bushels to the
acre. The field was all on fire and
burned so quickly that it took only
short time for the loss to be complete.
There was no insurance and Mr.. Ora
hams summers work will be a total
loss. There was no time to save any of
the grain SO rapidly did the flames
spread, although several of the neigh
bors went to assist in subduing the fire.
The loss of the entire acreage is severe
blow to Mr.. Graham, who is an industri-
GUS, hard working man, and his misfort-
une is to be regretted.

Rome, Aug. 16.-The following dis
patch has been received here from Taku,

ment has disembarked to protect the
rear of allied forces which is seriously
threatened. The Japanese admiral an
nounces that allies occupied Tung Chow
last Sunday and that he is awaiting the
news of an attack on Pekin today.
London, Aug. II, 3:45 a. ma cable
gram to Vienna from Hongkong an
nounces the capture of Pekin, but the
Austrian government, like other Eu-
topean powers, is still without official
confirmation of this report. An official
telegram dated Taku. Aug. IA, has been
received at Rome which asserts that an
attack on Pekin began Monday, and that
Sir Claude Macdonald, the British min
lister, had opened communication with
the relieving forces and that allies have
established their headquarters at Tung
Chow. Chinese officials in Shanghai are
reported as admitting that the allies in
ficted a heavy defeat upon the Chinese
imperial forces around Tung Chow, Sun
day, and then marched direct on Pekin.
The western powers, according to dis
patch to the Daily Express from Kobe,
have accepted the proposals formulated
by Japan for making an armistice upon
the immediate delivery of legations to
the allies or the granting of permission
to the allied forces to enter Pekin and to
guard the legations. Upon this basis
the correspondent says the Japs have al
ready begun to negotiate.
London, Aug. 1.-THE consensus of
opinion expressed by the morning papers
of the 18th tends to the belief that lega-
tions are now safe with the allies.

Northern, while wetting down coal on
the tender yesterday, was badly scalded
from both knees to the thighs. 1t seems
that the train stopped at Pleasant Val

to the water-cock in order to sprinkle
the coal. as is the usual custom. From
some cause the hose became detached,
throwing the steam and hot water upon
him from the boiler. He is quite badly

jured. The injured man is at the hos
pital and was resting easy this morning.

LATEST CHINA NEWS,
Defeat of Chinese Forces-Other Items Of
Interest.

Interest.
Special to the Bee.
Washington, Aug. 16.-At the close of
a day of intense anxiety the state depart
ment tonight made public the latest cor
respondence between the United States
government and the Chinese, constitut-
ing not only remarkable series of state
papers, but at the same time dispelling
all doubt and uncertainty as to the
American policy at the present critical
juncture.
The urgent, almost pathetic appeal of
Ii Hung Chang, submitted early today,
that the victorious march of the allies
stop at Tung Chow and that the military
commanders in the field be instructed to
arrange an armistice at that point, was
met with the response that Gen. Chaffee
had already been given complete instruc-
tions empowering him to carry out an
arrangement in concert with the other
commanders for the delivery of ministers
and portions under their protection to
the relief column, not at Tung Chow, as
had been suggested, but at Pekin. Fur
thermore it was made known to China
that Gen. Chaffee's instructions left free
rein as to whether he should insist upon
entering Pekin and going to the lega-
tions or should receive the delivery of
legationers at the gate of the inner Tar
tar city or at the outer wall. In short,
China, through her peace envoy, Ii
Hung Chang, besought halt and an
armistice at Tung Chow, IL miles from
Pekin. and the response of the American
government was that if there was to be a
halt and armistice it must be at the wall
of the imperial city. Thus the issue was
framed and it is unalterable. The Uni
ted States declined to consider the propo-
sition of Ii Hung Chang for halt and
armistice at the city of Tung Chow.
Even the supreme appeal of the vener-
able Chinese statesman that the Chinese
empire would be shaken by the advance
of the allies beyond Tung Chow was not
needed. The answer of the United States
is: Your position is the same as it has
been from the outset. namely, that min
listers must be delivered at the walls of
Pekin under such circumstances as will
meet the judgment of the military COM
manders on the spot.
The latest dispatch from Minister
Conger was scanned with eager interest,
but it brought little information beyond
that already at hand. In one respect,
however, it gave them strong encourage
ment as it was almost categorical an
swer to the inquiries of the state depart
ment. This was the first definite knowl-
edge that we were in direct touch with
our minister. That the situation is des-
perate is shown by his statement that
one of the attacks upon the legation oc-
CURED the night before the dispatch was
sent. It is evident that the minister is
informed as to the approach of the col
umn as he says the nearing of the allied
forces gives him hope.
