TO IMPROpE US. W4RSHIPS.
New Features to be Introduced on
 Vessels Now Building.

Washington, July 3,-Some new fea- lures in naval construction have been decided on by the navy department for the new cruisers and battleships now building. One of these is an increase of the ammunition hoists to twenty five in number so that the six-inch guns on broadside can be supplied am- intuition at the rate of six rounds a minute per gun or seventy-two rounds per minute for the ship This will be a marked advance on the best record possible to make under present condl- tions. Another departure will be the adoption of the stockless anchor, by which labor and time can be saved Aside from this change the entire for ward part of the ship will be altered in construction and there will be no cut ting away to receive the big anchors. Those on the new ships will be the larg- est in use, weighing 16,500 pounds each. Another new feature in construction will be a device for steering from the flying bridge, an abandonment of steering from the chart house.

MINERS AND PUTIES IN 4 V ALL
 MORNING FIGHT.
Two Men Known t, Have Been Killed at Telluride, Col, and n Number In- jured-SheriT Wires the Governor for Assistance-Troops Ordered out-Later Matters Quiet Down and Soldiers May Not be Needed.

Denver Col, July 3.-A special from l Telluride, Col, says. The excitement
 which had been prevailing all day over
 the riot in the Smuggler- Union mine is
 rapidly subsiding this evening. The controversy has been satisfactorily ad- | 1usted for the present and everything
 is quiet in Marshal and Savage basins. Shots were exchanged most of the morning between the miners, deputies and guards, but at 1 o'clock all was quiet with the exception of scattering shots
 Some time to-day one of the cabins near the office building was blown up but 1t is impossible to learn what dam age, if any, was done. The Liberty Bell and Tom Boy miners have practic- ally all gone out in sympathy and these properties are nearly idle, in the way of active operations.
 Miners were seen coming ovr the range this morning from the Ouray and Silverton sides and 1t is reported that the Camp Bird and Revenue mines are also out in sympathy, but as to these properties the report cannot be verified.
 The mayor has ordered all saloons to be closed from 6 D. m. to a. m. until otherwise notiged. Telephone wires have been cut and there has been no communication between the town and Smugglers Hill all day. About 6 o'clock this morning the corpse of a man was brought to town from the basin and 1t was to be John Barthem, a Swede miner who was killed by the shot fir ed. Barthem was fighting with the Union miners. The killed as far as known are:
 John Bartham, J. Lujan, a Mexican, employed as trimmer in the mines.
 Wounded-Charles M Becker. mine superintendent, right hip broken and badly shattered by bullet; w. Jor- dan, shift boss and deputy sheriff, shot through hip, no bones broken; John Nicholson, shot through head, will probably die; an unknown man shot through both legs. All of the wound- ed, except the last, were working in the mines.
 The sheriff of the country in which Telluride is located wired Governor Orman for troops to assist in suppress ing the rioters. A call for the militia to assemble at their armonies at o'clock tonight was issued from the adjutant generals department and di. rected to the companies at Denver and Puebla.
 Later-A special from Telluride, Col, says: Matters are quieting down. The miners union is in possession of the | Smuggler mine. The sheriff will re- yoke the request for the militia if the | quiet shall continue''

SHAMROCK ". AGAIN BEATEN,
Ltpton's Old Cup Challenger OutsafIs
 New Boat.

Rothesay, Firth of Clyde, July B.
 Shamrock l., cup yacht of 1899, again
 proved her superiority in light winds by defeating Sir Thomas Lipton's new | boat, Shamrock IT., by minute and a | half in the Clyde to-day.
 | A brisk breeze was blowing when the start was made. The yachts carried jibheaders. In order to give the Sham rocks a thorough test in open water a triangular course was laid out for to- days race, starting at Garrock Head, thence to Holy Island, around the Erin, thence ten or twelve miles to the south eastward, around the Erin again and Q reach back to the starting point.
 Sir Thomas Upton had invited the newspaper men abroad the Erin to wit
 ness the racing, but Designer Watson cancelled the invitation, desiring to pre- serve the secrecy with which he has vainly endeavored to surround all the challengerS movements.
 The boats fetched out of the bay un- der jib-headed topsails. A brisk east erly breeze was ruffling the water and giving a fine racing wind all the way down. Although formal racing com menced off Garrock Head the boats were sent off from Craigmore Pier in racing order. The new challenger took up a position on the weather bow of the older boat as she crossed the line, and rapidly opened away, Shamrock I. fol- lowing in her wake.

BUFFALO BANK MAY RESUME.
Statement of Counsel-Condition of the
 Niagara Bank.

Buffalo, July 3-William H. Hotch- kiss, counsel for the City National bank, said to-day: Acting on the in- structions of the comptroller of the currency, we are formulating plans which, in my judgment, will render the Appointment of permanent receiver for the City National bank unneces- sary and will bring order out of chaos in very short time."
 A meeting of the directors of the City National bank was held to-day at which the plan of MT. Hotchkiss re- ferred to above was considered, but inasmuch as it must be approved by the comptroller of the currency, MT. Hotchkiss declined to give any details He believed the bank will pay 100 cents on the dollar and that the stockholders will realize something.
 State Bank Examiner Loond this af- ternoon gave out statement showing the condition of the suspended Nigga ra bank on July 1. The liabilities are placed at $1,004,163, among the princi- pal items being: Deposits, $661, ,S72; due to banks, $154225; capital stock, $10O000.

Clement of the Marine bank and chairman of the clearing house com mittee, issued the following sta tement: "The return from to-day's clearinss having been very satisfactory, showing that the business between the banks has returned to it's normal condition. Reports from the two uptown banks, the Union and the Metropolitan, show there has been practically no run upon them to date, but that on the contrary, the deposits have exceeded the with drawals. It may fairly be said that the trouble is all over."

BRITISH ADMIRALTY UNDER FIRH
Promise to Strengthen the Moditer~
 raneau Fleet.

London, July 3-In the House of Commons to-day during the debate on the naval estimates the cabinet minis-s ters were heckIed on all sides regards
 ing the condition of the navy. Mem- bers asserted that the British Mediter- ranean fleet was specially inadequate to meet the French and Russian squadrons, saying that it was under- manned and unequipped, especially with modern guns; that it lacked col Hers, and that the coal depots were all exposed to the enemy's fire. The mem bers generally predicted that in case of war the admiralty would break down as completely as the war office did. H. o. Arnold Forster, secretary to the admiralty, in replying, referred to the great demand on the admiralty for services in South Africa and China and promised to strengthen the Medl- terranean fleet when new battlesl1ips were available and to add to the fleet cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers.
