OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Great Pressure Being Brought to
Bear to Have Warships built
Mt seattle.

WASHINGTON. Dec 2o-The board Of
construction again considered the battle
ship problem today. Secretary Long has
referred back TO the board the bids cover
ing the three sheathed battieships and
accepted its conclusions as to the other
eight vessels included in the advertise
ment. Several legal points are involved
in the case.
In the first place. 1t Is question wheth-
err one of the three vessels must be al
lotted to the Pacific coast builders. There
is strong argument on each side of this
question. Again. 1t is question whether
the department is at liberty to require
bidders to amend their bids through the
indirect method of restoring certain items
Of construction omitted In their specifca-
tions.
Altogether 1t appears that the board
will be occupied for the next three days
in determining these points and then pass
ing upon the alternative proposition, In
the event that the bids cannot be brought
within the limit of cost. of having re-
course to new designs for the ships and
advertising for smaller battleships on the
general lines of the Maine class.
Meanwhile considerable pressure Is be-
ing brought to bear upon the navy de-
partment by members of congress and by
prominent Western people to influence a
decision in favor OF the Pacific coast,

MAKE LIFE MISERABLE.
It's the Little Thing. That Do So.

How frequently you hear people COM
plain of "only slight case OF piles,
often claiming that the trouble is mere
~ temporary, induced by costiveness, or
sedentary habits.
1t may be some satisfaction to console
yourself in this way. but il is much bet
ter to check the trouble at once. You
can't do it too soon.
In time these little rectal tumors viii
grow from the size of a grape seed, until
Knot of them results as large as pigeons
eggs.
These become inffamed and tender to
and throbbing pain.
Thus the disease continues from bad to
worse until the patient can bear the an
noyance no longer.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is a perfectly
safe and certain cure for piles in any OF
these stages. 1t goes to the very source
OF the trouble and drives out all tnfam-
nation. causing the tumors to subside and
the membranes to resume their normal,
healthy condition
Piles lead to too many complications to
trifie with every remedy that comes
along. People have found it pays to use
standard remedy like the Pyramid Pile
Cure, which for ten years has been tested
in thousands of cases.
Physicians use the Pyramid Pile Cure IN
preference to surgical operations, because
they know 1t contains no cocaine. NOR
phine or poisonous drug, and because 1t Is
no longer an experiment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is In suppository
form. to be used at night, and causes no
detention from business, is painless and
costs but so cents at any drug store In the
United States and Canada.

KEEL OF DEFENDER
SUCCESSFULLY LAID.
Actual Work of Casting Consumed
Six and One-HaIf Hours
Time

BRISTOL. r.. J., Dec. 22-The keel of
the new cup defender was successfully
completed at the Herreshoffs' shops THIS
afternoon. The actual work OF casting
the. great mass of more than ninety tons
took six and half hours, and was done
at the south shop. The fires were lighted
under the melting pots between 4 and 5
O'Clock this morning the kettles having
been previously filled with the pigs OF
lead Nat Herreshoff gave orders to turn
the valves which allowed the metal to run
from the pots into the keel mold at 7:20
this morning.
During the progress of the work every
thing went on smoothly, and the portion
Of the craft which has so important
bearing on her in the water was COM
pleted at 1870 this afternoon, when the
order was given to cease pouring the
metal. About seven tons OF pig lead were
yesterday placed In the keel, and those
are now firmly Embedded in the molten
metal
1t will take about two days for the keel
to cool sufficiently 10 allow men to work
on IL, but nothing will be done with 1t UNI

wooden frame will be removed, and later
the planks will be pulled away. The next
process will be the cleaning of the keel.
and before the whole mass has all foreign
substance removed and its sides polished
a day and a half will have been con-
sumed. The holes TO engage the bolts and
other filings will next occupy the atten-
ton OF the builders. Some iron rods are
already In place In the keel.

AN ERROR IN THE CALENDAR.
Twentieth Century began Probably
Four Years Ago.

u
The first of January, 1901 is looked
upon as the beginning of the twentieth
century since the birth of Christ The
probability Is, however, that we entered
on the twentieth century some four years
ago Christ was born during the reign
of Herod and Herod died In the Roman
year $50. which was 1.91 or 1894 years
ago. Consequently Christ must have
been born at least 1903 or 1904 years ago
Not until the sixth century was the
Christian era introduced into italy and
this date was not used In England until
the eighth century. Dionysius. a Roman
monk instituted the change. He accept
ed the Christian tradition which placed
the birth of Christ in the twenty-eighth
year of the reign of Augustus. Dionysius,
thinking the reign of Augustus began on
the day when he assumed the title Of
Augustus instead of four years earlier.
as was the. fact, miscalculated the birth
of Christ by four years
The discovery of the error was made in
the early part Of the present century, but
wise men have not seen fit to suggest a
change. Dionysius did not begin the
year with January l, but on the 25th Of
March. the date of the annunciatlon Of
the Virgin Mary.

UNCLE SAM CAyT'T LOSE.
With Honolulu and Manila He Com
mands Gates to the Pacific.

From Ainslee's Magazine.
If it be westward that the Star of
Empire takes its way, Uncle Sam owns
the upper and perhaps the best and
France the lower and less useful gate
way into this new world. At Hawaii
is the natural midway between the
warm and genial Pacific coast and the
hot and luXuriant districts of the
tropics wherein most of the Pacific
islands lie At Tahiti is the radial
place below the equator, a little less
removed from the center of heat and
farther from the origin Of travel than
Hawaii Both abound in beautiful
scenery, in temperature alluringly
equable, in life and habits half indol
ent half industrious: in products both
tropical and semi-tropical. Both form
an admirable preparation for the
things beyond. The soldier boys who
stopped in Honolulu on their way to
Manila had their first taste of bananas
and pineapples as they come directly
from the field. They wished that they
might stay in the soft and luscious air
forever: that is to say, those did who
did not remain long enough to be down
with the fever or to be sent home In
the hearse ship. For there are fevers
in Hawaii, a in almost all of the is
lands of the Pacific.
on the other hand, travellers who
have passed the exquisite locks OF
Tahiti. harbor have fingered in the
rhapsody until little of the English
language was left to them with which
to eXtol the virtues of Samoa and New
Zealand.
THE OTHER GATEWAY.
If civilization is to work backward
from the cas-. to the west. as the Chi
nese and the Russians seem inclined
to force it to do. Holland and Britain
divide with the United States in own
ing the gateway. Dutch Sumatra
closes the portals to the passengers
from India British and Dutch Bornco
and the American Philippines close it
to the passengers from China and Siam
And in these territories there is even
a more apt and conclusive introduction
to what lies beyond than there is in
/ Hawaii or Tahiti. In Sumatra and in
