GERMAN NAVAL PROGRESS.
II Contemplates a Great and Rapid
Increase of Battleships.

New York, Jan. ga special TO the
Herald from Washington says:
Germany had so laid out the work In.
connection with the naval ship building
program adopted In 1899, that instead
of being completed in 1916, as originally
contemplated, all the ships viii be
ready for service by 1906.
This important information has been
received by the navy department and
has been given consideration by the
Dewey policy board. The program now
being carried out viii add to the Ger
man fleet thirty-four battleships,
twenty large cruisers and forty-eight
small cruisers. all thoroughly modern.
There will be other and older battle
ships available for duty and the Ger
man fleet will consequently have a
strength Of more than forty battle
ships
The haste being observed by the Ger
man emperor In the construction of his
new navy Is directly traceable, OF
course. TO his desire 20 provide his gov
eminent with a navy which shall prop
erly protect ifs interests
The feeling is that Il Is OF special
Importance 70 this country, In view Of
the possibility Of trouble between 1t and
Germany. 10 which Representative Oss
made reference when the naval bill was
under consideration In the House and
which Secretary Root called attention
that IL was necessary for an increase In
the army when he said last spring that
there was one nation which the United
States must not lose sight Of.
The naval war board, which under
instructions given by Secretary Long
last summer. devoted itself 20 the
preparation OF plans of campaign 20 be
followed I'm Chinese and Philippine wat
crs In case OF hostilities with other
powers, practically has completed this
work. Il is understood, and is now de-
voting itself to problems in connection
with the defense Of the United states
and it's nearer dependencies.
No one here expects hostllitles with
Germany or any other nation and the
President is doing everything In his
power 20 foster friendly relations
There IS no doubt that he and other adj
ministration officials seriously regret
the course that Germany has pursued
IN the Chinese negotiations.
The Berlin government has shown
willingness 90 make a solution OF the
Chinese problem more probable and
this change OF attitude Is a matter Of
much qualification in official circles
here. Il is hoped by the administration
that the haste being observed in the
completion OF the ship-bullding pro
gram has no reference 20 the United
States and 30 is 10 be- expected that
The Berlin authorities win disavow that

New York, Jan. 2S-George Lynch. an
English war correspondent who has

j. NJ. Hamilton Dead.

Word was received here a few days
ago that j. NJ. Hamilton, the Secre-
tary of the Upper Platte Gold Mining
Company, of Chicago, was dead. Mr..
Hamilton had been here for some
time, in October last, experimenting
the york of developing the Gold Bug
mining claim, located in Gold Hill
and had returned to Chicago to make
arrangements with his company to do
a large amount of work in Gold Hill.
He had been afflicted with weak
lungs for a number of years and it is
thought ne must have contracted
cold while up in the mountains and
which lead to his taking off in the
end. Mr.. Hamilton was a very pleas
ant gentleman and his death will be
a source of great regret to his friends
here.

City Ordinance Against Bean Shooters.

Saratoga, like almost every other
town of any size, has suffered a great
deal from that internal pest, the bean
shooter, until it has become almost
uncomfortable. Last Monday evening
the City Council met and passed an
ordinance which makes it a fneable
offence for a boy to have a bean shoot
er in his possession. Mayor Glenn
mons says he will do all in his power
to see that this ordinance is enforced.
A house cannot remain unoccupied
"a hours in this town before all of
the windows are broken out with the
small boy and his bean shooter.
The dog ordinance was modified SO
as to be applicable to all dogs over
three months only. A dog house is
being built and this ordinance will al
so be strictly enforced.
Another sidewalk ordinance was
passed which includes the north side
of Bridge street, from LIST to 9th
street, and thence south to intersect
with the sidewalk on Elm Avenue.
From Bridge street, at the intersec-
ton of 9th street, it is to run north to
intersect with the side walk on Main
street.

the remarkable series of stereoptican
views with which she illustrates it.

SHIPPING ORE.
Both the Rambler and the Tunnel Site
People are now Sending Ore to
Walcott.

Ore is now going through here
from the Doane Rambler and The
Tunnel Site company mines. George
Nuzum has the contract for the Ram
bier ore and Ed. Hull that of the
Tunnel Site Company. The ore is
being transported on sleds to the edge
of the timber and from thence to the
railroad on wagons. From all indi-
cations we are to have a very open
winter and it is quite probable that
there will be 40 interruption of this
r hauling during the winter. Mr..
Hull is confident that he will be able
to keep his teams moving right along
from now until spring. Mr.. Nuzum
is also well prepared for his share of
the work and will not stop hauling
unless There is an unusual fall of
snow on the divide.
