CARE is TAKEN.
Heneshoff W0rkmen Are Being
Closely Watched by Firm.

Workmen are so closely watched az
Herreshoff's Bristol shops that only eye
measurements can be taken OF the di-
mensions OF the new cup defender. Ono
of the steel workers who has been as>

her freeboard IS at least five inches lower
than Columbia's.
The tumble home is more pronounced
and the depth is greatest from the centre
of tho 'nine-inch crown to where ths
strengthening pieces attached TO the keel
frames meet. 17is feet probably.
The Columbia measured ISL feet at this
point, which shows her successor VIII

on the stern and stern sections OF the
new cup defender, while large gang oe

shop directing operations, and also
spurred up the men In the boiler room
and machine shop where the frames ara

sides and underbody being punched and

Everything about the shops this week
has been indicative of the Herreshoffs'
desire TO make the utmost speed on thu

IF the bill is found to be excess. . and

admit that IL accepted the o. h. OF Mr..
Mansfield as conclusive. or admit that IL
did not examine into the bill. In either
case there will be an admission OF a laxi-

that would have ended the matter.
He also was of the opinion that bills

The main argument that is advanced
by those who have given the matter any
thought Is, that inasmuch as superin-
tendent of Public Works Mansfi nd is. ty
law, directly under the authority of tie
committee on city property OF the City
Couacsl. the committee must, TO a certaih
extent be held responsible for his acts.
Others claim that, while an invesriga-
ton mary be carried on by the committee
on accounts of the city council, any such
investigation OF the acts OF Mr.. Mans
field since 1856, would be of no avail.
This contention is based on the claim
that all bills signed by Mr.. Mansfield. APP
proved by the committee on city proper
ty and the committee on accounts, and
accepted as such by the city auditor. are
disposed OF and can~ot be questioned at
this late day.
According TO these views the only mat
ter that can be considered is the bill I'm
question, and the committee on accounts
having refused to approve the bill, IL Is
a proper subject for investigation. This
Is how the matter stands at present.

The early scenes were unlike those OF
many spectacular days which London has
witnessed in the past year. The crowds
which so eagerly gathered in the streets
this morning evinced an entire lack OF
feverish unrest and excitement.
The great masses OF police which as
sempled. phantom-like. i'm the grayness OF
the morning, seemed apologeucally 20 tip
toe TO their allotted stations. az though
their presence reflected on the solemnity
dominating everything. Never did con-
course OF people so little need either civil
or military guidance.
no man standing by his mothers bier
ever needed admonition less than did
these hundreds of thousands of men and
women. gathered from all parts of tho
kingdom on the funeral route OF their
mother the queen.
The strangest part OF all was the fact
that the women seemed to outnumber the
men.
