Frost at that time was introduced to
Joseph K Wood. He met Marshal Vaw-
ter in Seattle before arriving at Nome,
but Mckenzie was unknown to him be-
fore August of that year. For time he
lived at the Courthouse along with the
Marshal, deputies and Judge Noyes, but
as differences arose between Vawter and
himself the former ordered him to move
even at a time when his wife was sick.
Then followed the story of Vawter's re-
quest for advice. He averred to Frost
tnat his force was inadequate to cope with
the situation at Nome and earnestly asked
for more deputies. Frost wrote to Wash
ington, stating the request of Marshal
Vawter. This was August Is, 1900.
Attorney Heney conducted the eXamina-
ton during the afternoon. In reply to his
first question the witness said:
after this letter the Marshal and myself
held conversations frequently on the situation
in Nome"

fused to allow the appointment of deputies to
meet the lawless situation and stated that local
assistance should be relied upon. On September

TO Be BUILT
Extensive Programme Is
Formulated by Two
Naval Boards.
GunbOats Will Make Impor-
tant Addition to the
Service.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-As a result
of the sessions of the naval general board
and the naval board on construction in
this city an identical programme of naval
construction will probably be submitted
to Secretary Long. This programme will,
it seems certain, contain provision for
four battleships and four armored cruis-
ers, as well as large and small gunboats,
the latter for service in the Philippine
Islands.
The general board proposes to recon-
mend the construction of about dozen
picket boats of not more than 500 tons
displacement and high speed. The need
of such boats was demonstrated during
tablish a close blockade of Cienfuegos
and Santiago de Cuba Rear Admiral
Echley and Rear Admiral Sampson were
reduced to the necessity of stationing con-
verted yachts and unprotected cruisers
inside the armorclads.
The board on construction held another
meeting to-day at which the discussion
Of the programme considered on Monday
was continued. The board is inclined to
defer to the opinion of the general board
and as soon as the latter submits its re-
port it will, undoubtedly formulate its
recommendation. The frequent revoIu-
tons in South America prove in the opin-
ION OF the board, the necessity of having
on hand sufficient force of gunboats for
cruising purposes along the waters OF
central and South America.
