MAINE BECOMING A MENACE,
Shippers Complain that Dangerous
Bar Is Forming About the
Unraised Battleship.

Havana, July 3.-Although three
months have expired since the govern
ment completed the contract to raise
the hull OF the battleship Maine from
Havana harbor no work to this end
has yet been done, nor have the con-
tractors, n. F.. Chamberlain & Co. filed
the necessary bond of $4,000. This
work of raising the wreck was to have
been completed by July l, but a prov-
sion was inserted in the contract to
the effect that if there occurred I'M
avoidable delay in the work the time
for its completion would be extended
to March l. 1902.
Captain Of the Port Young says
Chamberlain has sent him word that
he is sick. Capt. Young is consider
ing whether sickness comes under the
head of unavoidable delay 1t is be-
lieved here that the contractors cannot
undertake this work according to their
agreement, namely to raise the wreck
without remuneration and give the
government three per cent of what is
derived from the sale OF the ships
metal, etc. The engineers department
has estimated the cost of the wrecks
removal at several hundred dollars and
the cost of cutting up the hulk is esti-
mated as equal to that of the building
of another battleship.
Shipping interests here are urging
the government to remove this wreck
as soon as possible, as a dangerous bar
is forming about it.

Washington, July 4.-Tonight's re-
ports to the weather bureau show that
an extremely high temperature con-
tinues over large section of the coun-
try affected by the hot wave, but that
in quite a number of localities the Their
irometer was a few degrees lower than

were due mainly to local thunder

from these storms.
Officials Not Optimistic.
The officials will not venture an
opinion as to the possibility of cool

tent themselves with the simple state
ment that the probability points to a
steady lowering of the high tempera-

Washington, July 5.-In answer to
an inquiry, Comptroller Dawes said:
Il have resigned because of my in

people of Illinois for the United States
senate. 1t will not be possible for me,
during the next year, to make can
vass for the senate. and at the same
time administer. to my own satisfac-
ton, the important and responsible po-
sition | now hold | am influenced
solely in this action by what seems to
me the plain proprieties of the situa
ton
Comptroller Dawes term of Office
would not have expired until January,
1903. He entered the Office of comptrol-
Ter of the currency Jan. /, 1898, sue
ceedng James II. Eckles, and was i'm
mediately confronted by the situation
in the Chestnut Street National bank
of Philadelphia, which was one of the
most complicated ever confronting a
comptroller. He found it necessary, in
the interest of the creditors of the
bank, TO oppose a general plan Of re-
organization suggested by committee
formed by prominent citizens of Phila-
delphia, and for a time was severely
critiZed therefor. His plan follow
ed. however, and it is now recognized
as having saved to the creditors of
the bank the lien upon other property
which was not contemplated by the re-
organization scheme and from which
they will probably realize over 81 600
600
One of his first orders, after enter
ing the Office, stopped the practice of
tne employment of national bank ex-
aminers for private examination of
banks. He made ruling levying
second assessment upon the stockhod-
ers of the insolvent banks where the
first assessment had been less than the
law authorized. and related to stock
holders such portions Of the prior as
sessment as was determined by further
liquidation 10 have been excessive.
Comptroller Dawes also organized
system of consolidation of insolvent
banks in the last stages of liquidation,
so that at the present time 81 receiver
ships are being administered by two
receivers. thus gradually reducing ex-
penses.
Upon entering office, the flag ends,
largely of the national bank failures of
the 1893 panic. were still undisposed of.
During the last four years he collected
S25, 600, 600 in cash from these assets.
which covered every description of
property
One of the most prominent features
of Comptroller Dawes administration
has been his annual reports to con-
gress, the arguments on the monetary
system advanced therein becoming the
subject of widespread discussion by the
press and financial journals of the Uni
ted States and England.
