LONG WANTS MORE
 HEAVY WARSHIPS
PLANS PREPARED FOR THREE 6ATTLEsHIPs OF 16,ooo TONS DISPLACEMENT, BESIDES cRuis. FRS, GuN6oATs AND TUGS.

Washington, November 1. = Over and above the four warships which Congress directed him last session to prepare plans as basis for appropriation at the next session, Secretary Lcng has before him the recommendations of the board or naval construction looking to authoriza- ton by Congress of the building of forty more naval vessels of all classes, from battleships down to tugboats.
 The plans for the two armorG< cruisers and Two battleships projected by Con- gres last session have already been pre- pareu and look to the construction of ebout 16,000-ton battleships and 14OO0-ton cruisers. The battleships and cruisers additional to these which the construc- tion board proposes probably will be of about the same size and general type.
 The boards complete plan Is: Three sea-going battleships of about 16,0O0 tons displacement; two armored cruisers of about 4.500 tons displacement; six gum boats of about 12O0 tons. six gunboats of about 600 tons; six gunboats of about 200 tons. two colliers of about 15,OO0 tons; one repair ship of about 750O tons; six training ships of about 2O0O tons; four picket boats of about $50 tons, four tug boats.
 While the above appears to be start ling amount of naval construction to recommend to Congress, it Is stated that If the plans proposed are carried out, the symmetrical navy finally provided would be very much more effective than the nore numerous navies of the several Flu oDean states

4OOO ADDRESSED
 BY WU TING FANG
CHINESE MINISTER TELLS THE STUDENTS AT ANN ARBoR THAT COLLEGES ARE NOT VET SUITED TO ALL TIMES.

Ann Arbor. Mich., November i. = Wu Ting Fang. Chinese minister at Washing ton, delivered an address before 400 stu dents of the university tonight on the Tendencies of the Times
 He said in part:
 "I fully appreciate the excellence of po- litical, economical and educational sys- tems. Too much cannot be said in praise of the founders of this country for their foresight; but excellent as are the sys- tems founded. they are not yet perfectly suited to all times.
 China lives too much in the past I am sorry for it. Her literature and her government are relics of the past. They were all right when China was isolated but in these days of progress they are inadequate for present needs.'
 MT. Wu referred to the strife which Is almost constantly being waged between capital and labor in this country and said:
 ''It is said that capital is antagonistic to labor. Why is this so? One is essen tial to the other. There should be bet ter application of the value of both. Trusts and labor unions should unite. Why should not disputes between capital and labor be taken into the courts like civil suits for settlement?'

On board the royal yacht the King, in the undress uniform of an ad- miral stood on the after bridge at the salute, while the Queen and children Of the Duke and Duchess paraded the hurri- cane deck.
 The roads presented a striking spec tacle, owing to the great gathering of war ships dressed from stem to stern, and with their yards manned and their sides lined with their crews. Nelson's old flagship, the Victoria, started the salute to their Majesties, and each ship in turn took 1t up, and the Victoria and Albert moved down the solent accom- panied by a fiotilla of older royal yachts.
 Immediately after the Victoria and AL bert and Ophil were moored at the Jstty the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York Joined their Majesty and their chil- dren aboard the former yacht
 The children of the Duke and Duchess met the latter at the gangway with joy full exuberance, and they entered the salon of the yacht where the King and Queen greeted them affectionately.

McGrath, who ac- companied MT. Cudahy the night he de- posted the money on the Center Street road was called and told of that event. full trip.

He became much excited when Cudahy re- asserted his recognition of the prisoner as one of the abductors who thrust the pistol in the witnesses face and almost tainted. His physicians fear collapse of his nervous system

 Benson Killed.

London, November 2.-Lord Kitchener has reported to the war office a disaster to the British near Bethel, Eastern Trans vaal, in which two guns were lost, sew eral officers killed or wounded and fifty four men were killed and 1eo wounded.
 The following is the text of Lord Kitcheners dispatch dated Pretoria, Mo- vember 1:
 T have just heard of a severe attack made on the rear guard of Colonel Ben sons column when about twenty miles northwest of Bethel near Brokenlaagte. during a thick mist
 "The strength of the enemy is reported to have been thousand. They rushed two guns with the rear guard. but 1t Is uncertain whether they were able to re- move them.
 Casualties Are Heavy.
 ''I fear our casualties were heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded but not se- verely. relieving column will rench him this morning."
 Later Lord Kitchener telegraphs as follows:
 Relief reached Benson's column early (Friday) unopposed. Colonel Benson died of his wounds. <s
 "The other casualties are as follows: Killed = Col. E. Gunness Major F. D. Murray Captains M. W. Lindsay and F. E. Thorould, Lieutenants E. V. I. Brooks and R. D. Shepard and Second Lieuten- ant A. J. Corlett.
 Died of wounds, Capt. Eyre Lloyd.''
 AN- N thirteen other officers who were wounded. most of them severely and announces that fifty-four on-commissioned officers and men were killed and 1e0 wounded. adding that four of the latter have since died of their wounds. The dispatch then says:
 T assume that the two guns have been recaptured and the enemy has with drawn. but I have no further details
 .'I deeply regret the loss of Colonel Benson and the other officers and men who fell with him. In Benson the ser- vice loses a most gallant and capable officer who invariably led his column with marked success and Judgment
 Fighting at Close Quarters.
 'sThe fighting was at very close quar- ters and maintained with determination on both sides. The enemy suffered heavi- ly but have not yet received a reliable estimate.
 '"The Boers retired east"
 Colonel Benson had been for some time operating in the vicinity of Bethel which is northeast of Standerton. He surprised a Boer laager October 9 near Trichardsfontein. taking thirty-seven prisoners. Three days later, according to Lord Kitchener's report at the time after a long nights march the commandos under Grobelaar and Erasmus, heavily attacked Benson's rear guard and Hanks at Yzirvarkfontein but were easily driven away
 Whether this was the attack which re- suited DO disastrously or whether the Boers had been repulsed and took ad- vantage of the mist to renew the attack Is still unexplained Lord Kitchener does not give the date of the Bethel engagement

ToDAY's PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, November 1.-In the Schley court of inquiry at 1:45 o'clock today Judge Advocate Lemly announced that he had no more witnesses to call and MT. Rayner said that no witnesses would be sumomned on behalf of Admiral Schley in surrebuttal For a moment 1t ap- peared as if the now famous case was about to reach a sudden conclusion. But this delusion was soon dissipated by the announcement on the part of Captain Lemly that he might ask to be allowed to bring in one more witness on Monday and also statement from MT. Rayner that Admiral Schley himself would de- sire to return to the stand on Monday to correct errors in his evidence as off, cially reported.
 There is probability that the Admiral Will consume considerable time in going over the printed record of what he said and there also is an understanding that he will make some additions to his for mer statements. But it Is not believed that beyond what he may have to say there will be much more testimony The only witness that the judge advocate still has in mind is Lieutenant Strauss and Captain Lemly said today that if the lieutenant's attendance could be secured he would detain the court for a short time only. Captain Sigsbee also will re- turn to the stand Monday to make cor rections in his testimony. Then argu- ment of counsel will begin and after that counsel and the public will withdraw and leave the court to it's deliberation. The task before the court is not a light one, and it may be weeks before the final verdict will be reached. Today's witnesses were Sylvester Scovel, former newspaper correspondent who saw ser vice in the Cuban campaign; Lieutenant Hood who commanded the Hawk dur ing the Spanish war, and also a number of officers who were heard yesterday and who returned to the stand to corerct testimony. The court held only one ses- sion and adjourned over until Monday.

 Sylvester scovil was then called as the first witness of the day. He said that while on the press boat Somers N smith as newspaper correspondent, on May H or 28, 1t came up with the St. raul. Of which Captain Sigsbee was in command of the shore of Santiago. Inere was conversation with Captain Sigsbee through the megaphone, and he nimseif had used the megaphone in con- ducting the interview.
