WASHINGTON, d. c. Especially
The house committee on naval affairs
mas completed the naval appropriation
bill. The most important item, as to
new ships was left until the last, and'
as finally determined upon, was as fol-
lows:
Two battleships of about 10000 tons
displacement to cost, exclusive OF ar
NOR and armament, $4.212,0O0 each;
two armored cruisers Of about 14,5oo
tons displacement each, to cost, ex-
elusive of armor and armament, Va
659, 900 each; two gunboats OF 1,0OO
tons each, to cost $382,00 each. The
following provision is made:
THAT the secretary OF the navy
may, in his discretion and so far as
in his judgment is practical, direct
that any or all of the vessels herein
authorized be built in such navy yards
as he may designate"
Provision Is also made for building
one of each class OF ships on the
Pacific coast and that no contractor
shall build more than one battleship
cruiser or gunboat."
The 10000 ton battleships will be
the largest ever authorized for the
American navy, and among the largest
warships afloat. The armored cruis
ers also will be exceptionally large. fol
their class, considerably exceeding the
New York and Brooklyn in Tonnage
The amount carried by the bill IL
slightly above $76,000,00O.
There was sharp parliamentary
contest and many votes before th'
final decision on ships and on building
In government yards was reached.

Cues lions May BE Embarrassing.

Many congressman from interior
districts are much disturbed at the
prospect of having to explain to their
constituents why they voted for the
ship subsidy bill, If action is forced
upon it at this session, and in what
way their constituents will be benefit
ed Glittering generalities about 1.-The
restoration of our merchant marine"
will not suffice. The question will at
once follow, How will it do it?" and
"How will it benefit the western pro-
ducer?" Such questions are not cas-
lily answered in way to convince
Therefore, the probability is that the
bill will be pigeonholed until after the
congressional elections in November
when its fate will depend on the way
the elections will go.

Public Feeling Is sensitive.

The most sensitive thing In the
economic world is public feeling. Con-
ditions may demand radical changes
in the tariff, but II the majority Is
made to believe that the proposed
notifications would mean depression.
then depression would almost certain
ly follow. Capital Is courageous or
timid, according to public faith, no
matter what gives ground to that faith
The artful protection advocates have
never failed to take advantage of these
conditions. They are now prating OF
the danger of opening up the whole
tariff question" In this they are
prompted and aided by the greedy
beneficiaries of the system.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON.
FlSCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily q number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
of stun being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped 1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets Of in
furious substitutes in place Of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods. to use
1t. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance In pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten TO
twenty cents for pound can, or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece Of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der Of established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it is hoped, finally
| be driven from our homes.

WORK ON INDIAN BILL.
Conferees on Appropriation Measure
Have Almost Finished.

Conferees on Appropriation Measure
Have Almost Finished.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-(Special.)
The conferees on the Indian appro-
priation bill have practically gone
through the measure. Some fifteen or
sixteen points of disagreement have
been passed over for future action.
The principal fight seems to be over
the townsite provision put in by the
senate, the creation of new judicial
district in the Indian Territory and
the amendment opening the Uintah
reservation. The senate conferees are
Platt, Stewart and Rawlins and the
house conferees are Sherman, Curtis
and Little. The different towns in the
Indian Territory have large delega-
lions here to secure the establishment
of court for their towns. So far the
committee has given them no hear
ings, but has called in individuals for
examination on sundr ypoints. The
Delaware representatives were heard
by the conferees on the proposition to
pay the difference in value between
gold and the paper money in which
they were paid from 1852 to 1878, ac-
cording to agreement.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-05-02

Judge Baker of the United States
court in Indianapolis has been thrown
off his judicial balance by the tur-
bulence of striking iron molders. In
response to an appeal of employers for
legal protection of their workmen
against the strikers the judge virtually
counsels retaliatory lawlessness and
lynching. He suggests that it would
be a good plan to let the assaults go
on until the people hold courts Of
their own on street corners and deal
with the strikers" The scales of JUS
tice cannot be balanced truly in the
hands of man so ferociously preju-
diced as to utter such threats against
any class of citizens, no matter how
misguided and perverse they may be-
