REARRANGING THE BATTERIES.
Oregon. Indiana and Massachusetts
BciRE COnSidcred by q Naval Raard


A plan looking to the Encouragement of
the batteries on the Oregon, Indiana and
Massa sachusetts-the three big battle ships
in class by themselves-has been unde..
discussion by the naval board on construc-
tion for some time past, but nothing defi-
mite has yet been decided upon
The view is held by members of the board
that by installing superposed turrets on
these vessels to reinforce the present 1:}-
inch circular turrets fore and aft their
offensive efficiency would be enhanced 1t
is said that the intention is to consider
these vessels one at a time they may
come in for a long stay in dock. and pre-
pare tentative plan giving estimates of
the cost, time and labor such a step would
entail
OF course, the move could not be consid-
cred with regard to all three vessels about
the same time, for thus three of our finest
battle ships would be temporarily out of
use. The Indiana, which has been detailed
a training ship for the naval cadets
may be inspected to this end at the termi-
nation of the summer cruise. The Oregon
which will arrive in from the east before
long, will have to go into dock for extern
sive repairs when she reaches the United
States, and the Massachusetts will arrive
at New York with the North Atlantic
squadron next Thursday or Friday and
will be available for an inspection in regard
to the new plan.
Should it be decided to place superposed
turrets on these vessels it is stated that a
special appr ropriaton by Congress would
probably be necessary, as the amount avail
able for purposes of this kind in the naval
appropriation bill would not cover the esti-
mated cost for carrying out the plan.

Sow Some Grass Seed.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

Why is it that the park commission per-
sists in neglecting the parking on Penn
sylvania avenue southeast from I'd street
to the Pennsylvania avenue bridge? The
Capital Traction and Electric Light COM
panies have repeatedly destroyed the green
sward and failed, according to law, to re-
grass the bare and unsightly spots. This
is the proper time of season for the park
commission or District authorities to en-
force their jurisdiction and compel the
Capital Traction Company to SOW grass
seed on the bare places adjacent to their
tracks. Cuts in the asphalt street pave
ments are always replaced, but damages
in the parkings never receive that prompr
attention that the law demands. The trees
in this parking have also been al
lowed to die out and no effort made to re-
place them. This neglected section can be
made at trifiing cost, beautiful green
sward. and being a prominent thorough
fare, should receive full recognition from
the authorities to the credit Of the capital

Attempted Burglary.


COLLEGE PARK. April ~. 1901.
. A bold attempt to burglariZe was made
few nights ago at the store Of Mr.. W. H.
Mcinturff, at the terminus of the City and
Suburban railway at Berwyn. The attempt
was made just before midnight. as the oc-
cupants of the house were about TO retire
for the night. Attention was attracted by
continuous rattle of a window In the
store room. but no effort was made to as
certain the cause until the sash was heard
sliding from the top. The storekeeper ran
to the upper part Of the house and secured
his revolver. He then went to the room
and found a man crawling through the
sash. AS quick as fash the burglar
dropped down below the window and fled
After unlocking the door Mr.. NcInturff
fired at the fleeing man, who was Joined by
two other men further down the railway
track.
1t is thought that the men who attempted
to rob the store are the same parties who
broke into the post office at this place
about month ago and secured a consider
able amount of money and postage stamps

NJ. f.. CHURCH SOUTH.
Ecumcnical Council to Be Held in Ne
Orleans.

The ecumenical conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South will begin
its session Wednesday in New Orleans.
Many of the most prominent members of
the other branch of the NJ f. Church are
expected to be present, and take part in
the discussions.
The first foreign mission under the So
ciety's charge was established in Africa
in 1885. and the second in South America
five years later When Rev. DR.. Durbin
took charge of the affairs of the society, in
the forties, there were less than thou
sand members in Africa; the work in
South America had not been prosperous;
the mission to China had just been opened
in Foo-chow, and had not more than
twenty-five members At the time of his
retirement from office, tWentvsiX years
later. there We're 20O0 members in the Foo
chow mission alone. and missions had been
established in central and north China,
in Norway. Sweden, Denmark, Germany
and Switzerland, and in these countries
had attained a membership of about 22,U1O.
The mission in north India had reached
zoe; one in south India had been started; !;
that in Italy was three years old; the same
year one was founded in Japan, and the
year before William Butler had raised the
banner of Methodism in Mexico.
At the present time the funds of the
parent society are divided between home
and foreign missionary work in the ratio
OF per cent, TO lIit iolHt anu ID pSi
cent to the foreign. Besides numerous
schools of different grades, the NJ f.
Church sustains seventy-siX regularly es-
tablished academies, colleges and unlVer-
sites in foreign lands. among which are
the AnSlo-Chinese College and Theological
Seminary at Foo-chow. the Pekin Tniver-
sity the Bareilly Theological Seminary
the Lucknow Woman's College, the Anglo
Japanese College. the Copenhagen Theo-
logical Institute. the Martin Institute at
Frankfort. Germany (named in honor of
John T. Martin, layman of Brooklyn
who gave for il $4,000 as a part of his
contribution to the centennial of Ameri-
can Nethodisml, and the Theological School
in Rome. Italy.
The receipts of the society from the be-
ginning to the time stated in the last pub
lished report were $50. .I95 4G2 50. of which
$26. 1O. 116 10 had been contributed by the
people. 81. csc; DID,. &c were the proceeds of

in the report under sundries, except $.'f;'.-
,,s-,. %, 80 given by the American Bible Society
at different periods. chiefly il copies of the
Scriptures for missionary work: S12,a.ti i61
have been spent in foreign lands.
During the history OF the society $3.621,-
IA. - have been expended as general fund.
The capital of the loan fund is at present
more than one million dollars. Since the
establishment of that fund more than
quarter of a million of dollars have been
returned. BY these sums more than ten
thousand churches have been aided. With
out this assistance many societies would
have been disintegrated. while by far the
majority of those owning churches would
be meagerly accommodated

says that the Nicaraguan government has
placed an order with it's agent in New York
for 2,400 tons of steel rails for the new

that the contractor for the present road is

Importance in the growth Of our trade with
