slBLEY ATTACKS SMITH.
Bitter Denunciation of Orders Issued
in Samar Campaign.

in Samar Campaign.
Washington, April 29.-Representa-
tive Sibley (Pa) created something
OF sensation in the house yesterday
during the general debate on the agri-
cultural bill by denouncing General
Jacob H. Smith for the orders he is
sued in the Samar campaign. He de-
clared General Smith was a disgrace
to the uniform he wore, and expressed
the hope that the president would
strip him of the uniform within 4S
hours. Sibley's speech was enthusias-
tically applauded by the Democrats
and was received with some evidences
OF approval on the Republican side.
The speech was considered the more
remarkable in that it came from a
Republican who left the Democratic
party on the issues raised by the Span
ish war, and who has since been an ar
dent expansionist. Williams Dem.,
Miss.) endorsed what Sibley had said.
Upon the conclusion of the general
debate. slow progress was made with
the BILL only 25 of the 40 pages being
disuosed of.

wheat in the world at their door, are
not producing over one-third of their
full capacity. Unless your committee
on foreign relations can give us re

placing our millers on an equal basis

NEEDS OF THE NAVY
wARsi4lRs NOT UP TO THE HIGH
EST STANDARD.
Naval Committee Presents Program
for 1908, Together With Bill Making
a Total Appropriation of S77,675, 1856.
Great Armament of Other Nations.


Great Armament of Other Nations.
Washington, April 29.-The naval
program for 1903, as presented in the
naval appropriation bill and accom-
panying report, filed by Chairman
Foss of the house naval committee, is
one of unusual interest. The report
does not take as optimistic a view
of our naval prowess as generally is
held, and Mr.. Foss points out that
comparatively few of our ships have
any real fighting value. He accom-
panies this with statement of the
enormous naval armament and pro-
grams of other countries, particularly
Germany.
1t is shown by the report that the
number of the vessels in QUIZ navy,
built and building, is 1873, and the to-
tai cost will be $235,0S2,2 ,2O9. The re-
port adds:
While we have built and are build
ing, all told, 1873 ships, yet compara-
lively few of them have any real fight
ing value. Our naval prowess lies
almost entirely in our 1S battleships,
eight armored cruisers and 81 pro-
tected cruisers The rest of our ships
would cut but little figure in actual
war. Ships in battle line alone deter
mine the naval strength of nation
Concerning ships for our navy, the
report says: "The committee recon.
mends that for the purpose of further
increasing the naval establishment of
the United States the president have
constructed two first class battleships
carrying the heaviest armor and most
| powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class upon trial displacement OF
about 10000 tons, and to have the
highest practicable speed and great
radius of action, and to cost, exclu.
sive of armor and armament. not ex
ceeding $4,212,00O each; two first class
armored cruisers of about 1850 tons
| trial displacement, to cost exclusive
of armor and armament, not exceeding
| $4,659,000 each. and two gunboats OF
about 1000 tons trial displacements.'
The detailed statement shows thai
the appropriation bill carries $77,675,
3S6. which is slightly below. the appro
printion made last year.

Goods Road Movement.

Goods Road Movement.
Des Moines. April 24.-The Iowa
railroad commission today promul-
gated the new rates on freight under
the Iowa classification. They settled
the matter of a special rate for stone
for road-making by providing as fol.
lows: THAT stone, all kinds crushed,
gravel. cinders. or burnt earth, when
consigned to public officials charged
with the improvement of public high
ways, and to be used only by such
officials for the Improvement and bet
terment of such highways, in car
loads, take soft coal (slacll) rates"
This means a rate for stone for high
way purposes fully 25 per cent below
ordinary coal rates. This had been
asked for by representatives of
boards Of supervisors and others In
terested in good roads. and while the
railroads were not disposed to make
any concession, this rate made in the
manner indicated will be respected.

There is no means of knowing tho

Ready to Test
COST OF THE MONSTER, $4,000
Largest Crane in the World Required
to Load the Huge Weapon on the
Barge-Something About Its Con-
struction, Dimensions and the Ma
teriais Used.

Albany. N. Y, Nov. 27.-The 16 inch
coast defense gun, which was manu-
featured at the Watervliet arsenal, was
shipped yesterday on the Merritt
Chapman Company's large barge to the
Sandy Hook proving grounds and Will
reach there some time Friday. me
largest crane in the world had to be
pressed into service to load the gun
on the barge on which it is being trans
ported down the Hudson river, under
the direction of Colonel Farley, COM
mandant at the arsenal, the gun was
loaded on specially constructed car
weighing 1920 pounds. and slowly
moved to the arsenal dock, where by
means of the crane and mammoth
derrick it was swung on the barge.
The following are the dimensions OF
this great weapon of coast defense
Length over all, 40 feet 2.90 inches;
diameter at breech, S feet; bore, l6
inches. It's construction was begun
May Ia, 1898, and it was finished June
Il. 1902. Some faint idea of it's power
can be obtained by the statement that
it shoots projectile weighing 2,3To
pounds, distance of Il miles. il
smokeless powder is used it will re-
quire SIS pounds or about 1000 pounds
of black powder. The crude steel from
which the gun was assembled weighed
$4,000 pounds. It's cost in labor, ma
terial and machinery was about $780,
600. A large amount of new machinery
had to be made for the work. One of
the largest cranes in the world, If not
the largest one built, was required to
handle it. When it was decided to build
this gun it was the intention of the
government to construct about twenty
16 inch guns, but the cost has been
such that the project will probably be
