FOR BREMERTON
APPROPRIATION OF $1,000, 900
HAS BEEN ASKED.
Officials Of Puget Sound Navy Yard Petition
Congress Tor Funds TO Erect Factory for
the Repairing Of al Sizes Of Guns Used
Upon United States Bsttleships Nothing
Of Kind on Pacific Coast.

Seattle, Oct. l2.-Information was
received in Seattle yesterday afternoon
to the effect that the officials at Bremen
ton have forwarded to Washington a
petition asking congress to appropriate
81 100000 for the purpose Of erecting
and equipping factory at the Puget
Sound Navy Yard for the repairing OF
all sizes OF guns used upon United States
battleships.
Further than this, the information
states that the matter is now under
consideration at Washington, and there
is every prospect of such an appropriation
being made. 1t is known that members Of
the River and Harbor committee have
interested themselves in behalf OF the
navy yard and it is understood that the
department at Washington looks with
much favor upon the proposition.
There is at the present time no factory
upon the Pacific Coast in which large
marine guns can be repaired. The dis
advantage Of such condition of affairs
has been apparent to the officers Of the
Puget Sound Navy Yard for some time
and for this reason, it is understood,
their request has been made.
The establishment OF such an institu-
ton at Bremerton would forever stamp
the Puget Sound Navy Yard as the most
important naval station on the Pacific
Coast.

ACTIVITY IN THE COAST STATES.
Industrial Development That Indicates Steady Forward
Progress in Oregon, Idaho. Washington
and California.


The department Of agriculture at
Washington has issued a report OF
the general agricultural conditions IN
the Pacific coast region. 1t says
that although the tendency for the
last twenty-five years has been to-
ward a gradual reduction OF the
area of individual farms and ranches,
they are still of a size much larger
than the average farm of the East,
or even of the Middle West. This IL
particularly true in California.
Transportation Of the enormous
quantity of Pacific coast wheat has
been reduced to science. A large
saving Is made by loading ships d.
rectly from the cars, trains being run
from the wheat fields to tidewater at
very few hours notice. In Wash
ington and Oregon, however, the
wheat Is run through an elevator,
where it is re-cleaned and mixed with
other grades of wheat to bring 1t
to the required standard grade. after
which it is re-sacked and loaded on
the vessels, or cars, for final ship
ment.
About 27,45o,ooO bushels Of wheat
are exported annually on the Pacific
coast, with a total value Of about
$2O,OO0,O0O.

WIN A BIG BATTLE.


ITALIA.
London, Oct. 5.-A dispatch from Dun.
dee to the Times says that the Boer at
tack on Fort Italia proves to have been
far bigger engagement than could be
gathered from the first reports. The cas-
ualties on both sides indicate the fierce
ness OF the struggle. The Boer casual.
ties are now limited to over 600. The
British prisoners say sixty Beers were
buried on farms, and they assisted in
carrying off seventy.five wounded. The
Beers informed the prisoners that they
expected to find Fort Italia garrisOned
only 100 strong. The burghers lost more
men than in any previous action this
year.
There seems no doubt, says the Times
correspondence, that the Beers intend q
combined invasion of Natal, east and
west. 1t is stated that Gen. De Wet or.
dered the burghers in the northeastern
precinct of Orange River Colony to con.
centrate at Taelkop, but up to now the
only result Of the movement has been the
invasion of Natal by small command,
which can easily be driven back. British
officers who were recently prisoners say
that Gen. Botha's men and horses are in
good condition. The British prisoners
have been robbed of almost everything
they possessed.
The main body of the Beers is still near
the Zululand frontier.

CONDITION SERIOUS.
Former President Of the Transvaal Growing
Mentally and Physically Weaker.

The Hague, Oct. 5. A. D. w. VOL
marens, one of the Boer leaders, who
has been visiting Mr.. Kruger, found the
mental condition Of the former president
of the Transvaal to be by no means
satisfactory. Mr.. Kruger is slowly grow
ing weaker, physically and mentally.
His slowness is reaching decision on
important questions is found to be a
serious hindrance to those working in
Europe in behalf of the Boer cause. At
the slightest question regarding his
health Mr.. Kruger exhibits intense irri-
tation, and vehemently denies that any
thing is wrong. The APPROACH of winter
causes anxiety, as Mr.. Kruger refuses to
leave Holland.
According to remark made by a
prominent Boer, the former presidents
condition would long since have been
much worse if hatred of Great Britain
did not nerve him to continue.

Pacific Cable Assured.

The Pacific coast was agreeably
startled last month by the announce
ment from Albany, N. Y. that com
pany had been incorporated there Tor
laying a cable across the PACING
ocean.
The route will be from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, thence to the Mid
way islands, to Guam and to the
east coast of Luzon. The cable will
be 6,912 miles long, completing the
telegraphic system of the entire
globe, and making a total OF 1885
miles, all of which, excepting 1911
miles. is controlled by private indi'
viduals.
At the coming session Of congress
n bill will be introduced to push
through the construction work OF the
cable.
The estimate of cost by Rear-Ad'
miral Bradford, Of the Naval Bureau
of equipment, is $10,000,000.
The special demands by the gov.
eminent on this cable will be re-
duced rates and absolute control over
the line in time Of war.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 7.-Governor
Murphy has issued semi-official pro-
clamation calling statehood convention
to convene in Phoenix on October 26.
The Phoenix Board of Trade decided to
appropriate funds to cover all the
expenses of delegates to the conference.
Representation will be had frem each
county of the territory and strong
effort will be made to disregard political
faith or business calling in making up
the delegations. The governor, in his
proclamation, states his belief that con-
certed action on the part of the citizens
will induce the Fifty-seventh Congress,
during the coming winter, to pass an
enabling act, but it is limited that
influential corporations will not lend
assistance.
Governor Murphy has accepted an
invitation from Governor Oterio, of New
Mexico, to address statehood conven-

Washington, Oct. 5. Next Wednes-

Schley will retire from the active list of
the navy by age limit, and, from present
prospects, this will take place while the
court of inquiry is still in session. His
retirement will promote two captains to
be rear admirals. Capt. Frank Wildes,
who was in command of the Boston DUR
ing the battle of Manila bay, now heads
the list OF captains. He was promoted
for war service, and under the law his
advancement must not retard the regu-
lar course of promotions. Therefore Capt.
Henry Glass also will enter the list OF
rear admirals. Other promotions re-
sulting from Admiral Schleys retire.
ment will be those of Commanders +. p.

come captains, and Lieutenant Conn

The famous ''Dear Schley" letter was
then brought up again, and resulted in a
demand by Lemly that all the papers in
Schley's possession relating to the San
tiago campaign be brought into court.
Schley's attorney replied by saying
that all the papers OF which Schley has
any knowledge had been turned in.
Commander Hodgson then took the
stand and was briskly questioned in a
vain attempt to make him say he had
erred in his testimony of yesterday.
Letters between Hodgson and Schley,
relative to the "Damn the Texas" COLO

Lemly started to read an editorial from
the New York Sun, to which Counsel
Raynor took objection and to which
Dewey took occasion to say:

Raynor said "My objection goes still

The court decided the editorial must
