THE GREAT SIBERIA
Launching of the New Pacific Mail
 Steamer.

Newport News. Va, Oct. 2O.-There was launched from the ways at the big plant of the Newport News ship building and Drydock company Satur- day one of the two largest vessels ever built on the western hemisphere-the gigantic Pacific Mail steamer Siberia, whose sister ship, the Korea, went overboa I'd last March. The launching was in some respects the most notable ever seen here. It was, moreover, one of the most beautiful and imposing. There was something indescribably majestic in the sight of this tremen- dous bulk of gracefully assembled steel descending with rapidity quickening speed down the long greased ways to the bright river, in which many splendid ships have ben christened. The ceremony was witnessed by many visi- tors from Washington, Richmond, Bal timore and other points. and as the great sea monster took it's initial plunge there was a waving of thou sands of handkerchiefs, cheers from a multitude of throats and q deafening screech of whistles from the many boats in the river.
 The Siberia and Korea are identical in size and construction. They are both intended for service between San Francisco and Hong Kong. They are capable of making eighteen knots an hour, and are, in al respects, the peers of any vessels that float. Their dimen- sions are-Length over all. 5T2 feet. i inches. length between perpendiculars. $50 feet; beam, 63 feet; depth, 40 feet; draught, 27 feet; displacement, 1S,60O tons.

The hulls are constructed of steel and a double bottom extends from stem to stern. There are four decks, extend ing the whole length of the vessels in addition to the orlops and boat decks.

YALE BI-CENTENNIAL
Great Crowds Have Gathered at New Haven to Attend the Celebra eion Which Opened Yesterday Amid a Revival of the Simple Ceremo- nies Attending the Founding of the College, October 20, 1701.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 2O-The van guard of the multitude advancing on New Haven fro mevery direction in au- ticipation of the bi-centennial celebra- tion of Yale university began to arrive today All incoming trains were heav- fly loaded, and reports from railroad authorities indicate that the crowd of visitors that will gather here during the coming week vii be the largest ever assembled in this city. Among the distinguished guests already here are eminent representatives of leading col leges and universities, not only of America, but of England, Scotland, German, France, China and Japan. The wek will be ushered intomorrow with appropriate religious services in Battell chapel. The celebration prom ises to be the most brilliant event in the history of Yale university.
 It was ushered in with religious cere- monies in Battle chapel, performed n accordance with the devout and rever- ent traditions of the good old New Err gland days. when a little handful of clergymen gathered together - with prayerful supplications and asked Di- vine blessing upon the institution which they had conceived and brought forth; the cid hymns were sung and powerful sermons were uttered. The city has decked itself in Yales colors, and presented a splendid spectacle. Blue draperies were intertwined with evergreen. This general scheme of col or was broken only by the graceful folds of the stars and stripes.

VICTORY FOR VISITORS 2
Crimson Rims Won the Ball Game
 With the Firemen.

Yesterdays ball game at the park was a failure in point of attendance. but the disagreeable wea ather was re- sponsible for that state of affairs. The wind blew severely. which also inter fered somewhat with the playing. Nevertheless it was fairly good game of ball and the Crimson Rims won it and are entitled to credit. The score was to 3, which indicates a pretty evenly matched contest. If the Fire men could not do much business with the score keeper they were able to pre- vent the visitors from wearing out the score keepers pencil.
 There were a number of errors, o;It less than would be expected and alto were we'll entertained. The Firemen were handicapped by the absence Of three or four of their regular players. who either forgot their previous en- gagement or who have a greater weak ness for hunting than they have for playing ball.
 Collins and Napoleon pitched for the Bremen and Pancho was behind the bat. Carroll was in the box for tn. Crimson Rims and Priest worked be- hind the bat. The Bremen did not make as good a showing as they did the Sunday previous, though they dil the best they could under the circum- stances. The Tempe team, on the other hand, squared itself for the raw work done on the occasion of their last pre- vious appearance at the park.

The Pastor Finally Gets a Noisy Vim dication Against Three Elders Who Have Been Making it Warm for Him.

New York. Oct. 20.-Trouble has been preparing for some time in the First
 United Presbyterian church in West Thirty-fourth street because of the op-
 position of a faction to the pastor. the
 Rev. P. w. Anderson, and fast night there was strong meeting of the con gregation to settle several matters II. dispute. Epithets were exchanged an l it grew very warm indeed, but finally

 to be unanimous vote. lie has been pastor for twelve years.
 The finances of the church have been
 il. a bad way recently and a part os the indebtedness is s950 back salary
 due to the pastor. At a congrega tional meeting last Monday MT. Anderson
 rendered his resignation. 1t was un- dcrstood. however. that he did not take action because of financial considera-
 tions. but because three of the seven elders of the church were unfriendly to
 him. The congregation. by vote of 12Z to 56, voted to reject the resigna- ton and appointed a committee to wat O. the pastor and ask him to withdraw i:. The committee reported at last nights meeting that MT. Anderson would remain with the church if the
 three opposing elders were asked to
 resign. The elders are Mathew T. Lindsay. James Crawford and Thomas
 NcCook. Accompanying the report
 was a letter from the Rev. MT. Ander- son in which he said:
 They were a disturbing element" he goes on to say, and for years have been trying to break down the pastor $ influence
 A ballot was taken on motion to reject the report. Elder William Neely. who presided, declared it defeated by a vote of 163 to 0.
 ''I challenge the vote,'' cried q man
 in the rear of the church. shaking his
 fist at the chairman.
 "Go ahead and challenge" retorted ; the chairman

A SCHEME OF MURDER
The Island of Samar the Center of an Insurrectionary Movement With Which There is Sympathy Throughout the Islands-Arrests of Many Prominent Persons Have Been Made.

Manila. Oct 2Q-Only by the vigilance of Lieutenant Thomas M. BaineS Of the Ninth United States infantry has an other slaughter of American troops by Insurgents been averted. It seems that Lieutenant Baines discovered q pris- oner re-entering his cell at Carbiga. n th- island of Samar. where several are confined, through hole that had been made in the wall. An investigation showed q plan to fill the jail with bolo- men and call a guard. which would be necessary to get the doors open. then attack the garrison. It was also devel- oped that the instigators were priest and the presidente. both or whom nave been arrested. together with several prominent persons.
 Other attempts have been discovered and fortunately frustrated at Pambr- ian and other points in Samar- SeV- eraI persons have been arrested in connection with these. Achievements are being rushed to Samar. Three hundred and thirty marines under Lieutenant Colonel Goodel1 have gona there on board the cruiser New York. and two battalions of the Twelfth in fantry will start immediately Tor the some destination.
 Officers from other provinces that were supposed to be pacified had re- gently arrived in Manila and say that news of the American disasters have spread like wildfire among the natives. who scarcely attempt to conceal their delight The Manila constabulary has discovered a large quantity of steel wagon springs which were to be ship ped to the various districts. An in- yestigation showed that these were to be used, in manufacturing boloS.
 The troops in Samar anticipate hard fighting. Brigadier James H. Smith. who is in command. has visited most of the posts and instructed comma nd CTS that the insurrection must be wiped out. and General Lubkan, the insurg- ent leader. must be captured. Already the movement of troops has begun.

TOO MUCH STOCK
There are Too Many Bicycle
 Shares
A Proposition to Throw Away About Two-Thirds Will be Submitted to the Stockholders Before Very Long.

New York. Oct. 20.-It is officially an rounced that the directors of the American Bicycle company had re- solved to recommend to the stockhold- CTS a reduction in the authorized cap ital stock of the company, amounting to $50. COG. 900. to $2e. .996. 400. Of the au- thorized capital stock. something like $500, 100000 has been issued. About $3,OOeO00 is held in the treasury
 Vice President Hope today stated that the scheme was to reduce the au- thorized capital to the actual stock outstanding. which amounts to neari ., S27. .0O0. 900. A special meeting of the stockholders will be held on October 30 to act upon the resolution. All the large shareholders have already signi- fled their willingness to vote in favo- of the reduction.
 It i- understood that a large number of industrial organizations. among them the Distilling company of Amer ica. contemplate writing off q larger amount of their authorized capltaiiza- tion. The statement is made that when the craze to concentrate in dustrial concerns was at it's height promoters acted indiscreetly in tte matter of capitahzing the various com panias in which they were interested.
 
 thorized capital stocks far in excess ot the intrinsic value of the underlying plants. Rarely did the demand for stock exceed the supply. A number Of corporations succeeded in unloading a large amount of their stock on an un- suspecting public. Others were not so fortunate, and now find themselves burdened with a lot of useless stock that does not appeal to the investing public. In the case of the American Bicycle company, a number of plants refused to enter the combination at the last moment. Had it been otherwise the amount of stock outstanding woulf have been greatly in excess of the present figure.
 Another reason advanced for the movement of certain industriais to re- duce their authorized capital stock is that in q number of states the ques- ton is being discussed whether auth orized capitalization of on:y the actus amount of stock isfued bs a-cosIzoIa, - tion shall be taxed. As industrial companies can increase their stock at will. providing such increase is agree able to shareholders representing two thirds of the stock. they feel safe n writing off q large portion of their stock in order to escape 2 possible in crease in taxation
 A representative of the American Ei- cycle company said that many people had been led to believe that a large number of the plants of the company had been closed.
 "The fact of the matter is" said he. that only one underlying concern IS idle. A large number of plants are now turning out classes of goods other than bicycles. The statement in our annual report that starting with 2s bicycle factories. the manufacture of bicycles has been gradually concen- trated to ten factories to meet the changing conditions of business, prob ably gave rise to the belief that the majority of our constituent concerns had been closed"

NO HELP FOR AMERICA.
Failure of French Miners to Strike
 Thus Explained.

Paris, Oct. 20.-The result of the coal miners referendum on the question of a general strike is that 10000 voted in favor of general strike and 1O 900 cast their votes against il. About l10, 900 men did not vote. The announcement of the result renders it extremely doubtful whether the long talke1-o of strike will break out November l.
 The Journal des Debates considers that the attitude of the foreign miners had an important influence on the pros poets of the strike, and says: The American miners. who care little for what happens in Europe. refuse to lis ten to the proposals to aid the French men by restricting their output. IL is useless, therefore. to count on their support. The English miners put for ward the attitude Of the Americans as evidence that an International under standing is impracticable. Therefore it is no longer doubtful that American and English coal is only waiting for the opening of strike to make offers to replace the French products"
