 The survey of the San Diego-East- ern railroad is already practically com pleted, and if no untoward circum- stance has prevented the camp of the surveyors is today being pitched in the sand hills only about four miles from the Colorado.
 Engineer Richards will reach Yuma today from Los Angeles and will de vote the most of his time for the next two or three days in making examina- ton of the possible crossing of the Colorado river and waiting possibly for the engineers of his party to get the line in from the sand hills. It is not expected that the surveyors camp will get any nearer to Yuma than it is today, or will be by tonight, but the

 There is one more piece of work tu do before the surveying party will have completely finished. That is in the Carriso Creek country. Mir. Richards has run two lines on that part of the survey. One is known as the high grade line aud the other as the low grade line. To be more explicit he has finished the high grade line out onto the desert and has continued il to the sand hills at Yuma. He com plcted about one half of the low grade line down the side of the divide. and was stopped because of the very heavy winds and sand storms that prevailed there at the time. He concluded that it would be best to leave a portion of the low grade line un unfinished and push across the desert with the other, com ing back when the weather would per init of work being done. There re mains, therefore. about eight or ten miles of the low grade line to con- plete from the place where the work was suspended out to point OH the desert where it will join the other line, two not being necessary save where the work is extra heavy.
 Judge Boone, the secretary of the San Diego-Eastern railroad committee, returned yesterday noon from d trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco on matters connected with the project in which the committee has spent so much energy during the past months. On part of the trip Mir. Richards ac- companied him, as part of the busi- ness on which Judge Boone made the trip. was connected with Mir. Richards department of the work. The survey which was being made across the des- ert offered no engineering difficulties, therefore Mir. Richards, after giving his instructions as to how the work should be done. and the direction that the line should take, left the men to go ahead without him, just as he did at the time he came into San Diego some months ago, and made the loca- tion line inside the city.

Mr. Nixon said
"Tell him we can build a yacht so
many feet long. so many feet wide,
drawing so much water berthing so
many persons, such and such speed
guaranteed. for so many thousand dol
lars, and we will deliver her so many
days after signing the contract"
Nearly 500 men are employed in the
Crescent shipyard, thirty of them in
the drafting room alone. More small
craft for putting battleships out of
business are turned out of the Nixon
yards than all the rest of the world
can show The founder has made
study of submarine dcstroyers and
knows how to build engines of 400
pound pressure that will drive them at
a speed of forty miles an hour.
Mr.. Nixon is president of the South
Amboy Powder works, which makes
speciality of smokeless powder. He is
trustee of Webb's Academy and Home
For Shipbuilders. fellow of the
American Geographical society and n
member of the New York chamber of
commerce. In club life lie belongs to
the Rittenhouse of Philadelphia. the
Army and Navy of Washington. the
Union and the Democratic Of New
York and the Seneca and the Rich
mond County Country clubs.
Perhaps the brightest side of Mr..
Nixons brilliant career is the domes-
tic. The new Tammany leader is de-
voted to his home. He had but one
love affair. The romance is still talk
ed about in Washington, where Miss
Sally Lewis Wood, now Mrs. Nixon,
was then a reigning belle in the capi-
tails smart set She was a daughter
of Colonel Wood, U. S. A., and de-
scended from an old Virginia family.
When Mr.. Nixon met her in 1888, he
was an unknown naval ensign. then
stationed at Washington. He fell
ready victim to the beauty of Miss
Wood. She had faith in the young
officer, but when he came wooing she
said "Mr. Nixon. shall never marry
a man who has not made name for
himself" Then followed busy years
for the young officer. He became
known as the foremost naval designer
of the country. In 1891, known all
over the country, he renewed his suit
and this time won.

that the prince would be present
when Miss Alice Roosevelt christened
the kaiser's new yacht, now being built
in New York. 1t is the intention Of
this government to show a full appre-
citation of the good will that prompts
his coming.
The arrival of Prince Henry in
American waters will mark the begin
ming of series of public receptions of
an international character that have
not been paralleled since the visit of
the Prince of Wales, now king of Eng
land, forty years ago, or the welcome
extended to the Grand Duke Alexis,
brother of the car, eleven years later.
The stanch friendship of the Russian
emperor during the civil war made the
reception of his brother take the form
of national tribute of gratitude and
good will.
Emperor William will also send the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern to this
country. She is said to be the finest
pleasure craft in the world. She will
be used as Prince Henry's headquar-
ters while here.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for social entertainments on

gon-HOw He Won His Bride.
Those who know Lewis Nixon, who
succeeds Richard Croker as leader of
Tammany Hall, believe that if he dis
plays anything like the untiring energy
in politics that he has in building up
his shipyard at Elizabeth, n. j., sue
cess will return to the great political
organization he directs.
Lewis Nixon is Nirginian, born at
sLeesburg in 1861. His parents had
neither wealth nor high social position.
but they were sensible and intelligent
and encouraged the love of scientific
study which their son manifested In
school he was always at the head of
his class and had Il talent for drawing
and designing. When he was fourteen
years old, he went alone to General
Eppa Hunton, congressman from Vir-
ginia, and asked an appointment to the
Naval academy at Annapolis. His ap-
pearance so pleased the congressman
that he won the appointment over sew
eral applicants who were backed by
strong social and political backing.
After Mr.. Nixon was graduated from
Annapolis at the head of his class he
took a special course in naval archi-
lecture at the Royal Naval college,
Greenwich, England. NTr Nixon's sue
cess rs Il designer of battleships is well
known. The records of the Indiana,
Massachusetts and the peerless Oregon
that made the long trip from san
Francisco to Cuba without starting Il
rivet and her glorious work at Santiago
attest his skill in this direction.
Mr.. Nixon resigned from the navy in
1894, and tie following year he estab-
/ lished the Crescent shipyard at Eliza
beth. Since then he has laid the keels
/ of upward of a hundred vessels that
are doing service in various parts of
the globe. The area of the Crescent
yard is little more than four acres,
and its founder is the life and soul of
it. A local name for the Crescent ship
yard is "The Beehive" and no drones
are tolerated. During the Klondike
boom the Nixon yard build fourteen
screw steamers for service on the Yu-
kon river in eighty-fve working days.
An instance of Mr.. NiXon's rapid fire

ployee who to consult him about a
proposition to build a pleasure yacht

cavalry will probably escort him to
and from his place of residence on all
his official calls.
German naval officers are eager for
assignments to accompany Prince
Henry to the United States. and many
young nob!emen are bringing influence
to bear to obtain such appointments.
This may enlarge the princes suit.
The duration of the royal guests
stay in this country has not been de-
termined. 1t is said to be the emper-
or's wish that his brother make tour
of the chief cities of the United States,
particularly those having large Ger
man populations
Preparations for the princes enter
tainment in the cities lie may visit are
already taking shape. In New York
his reception will be most elaborate
and cordial. Mayor Low has appointed
a committee of a hundred representa-
tive citizens to make the necessary ar
rangements. 1t is not his plan, how
ever. to confuse city functions with
federal.
The honor conferred upon Miss Alice
Roosevelt. daughter of the president,
makes her an international character.

perial yacht, which will precede him
across the Atlantic. Before he lands
on American soil he will be received
on the ocean by squadron of United
States warships in a manner betting
his high naval rank. The reason the
prince does not sail from Germany in
the Hohenzollern is that her accom-
modations are insufficient for the party
that accompanies him.

President Roosevelt and Baron Won

The announcement that the prince
will be accompanied by officials of
high rank in the German navy has ne

the part of the navy. 1t is possible
that all the available warships in and

his official entrance to New York har-
bor and an imposing naval demonstra-
ton will take place off that port

Admiral Robley d. Evans. who will
