efficiency of the forts, guns and other defences

Several days before the joint manoeuvres the sea

NAVY YARD VERSUS SHIP YARD.
Keen Competition in Construction Of War
ships.

washington, April % (SpeciaD.-The naval con-
structors are not much worried over the progress
indicated in the reports from Newport News. Va
on the construction of the louisiana, compared
with the Connecticut. building at the New York
NAVY Yard There is bound to be sharp rivalry be-
tween these two vessels which identical in de-
sign and which started at the same time the
Louisiana building under contract at Newport
News while the Connecticut is being built at 4
government yard. The work on both ships Will af-
ford a practical comparison of the relative advan-
+ages of naval ship construction under contract at
a nrivate yard and by days labor at naval plant
Reuorts from Newport News April l showed that
the Louisiana was per cent under way or ahead
of her schedule time. She need not have reached
that period of completion until May l.
In the mean time there is delay on the Connecti-
cut and the builders are confident that the con-
tract built Louisiana will be finished before the
Connecticut The naval constructors say that they
are not worried the situation. They are con-
WINGED that the Connecticut will be completed be-
fore the Louisiana In the first place, much of
the material entering into the construction of the
Connecticut IS being collected at Brooklyn, and
inst as soon the fortyton crane is in operation
Il will be seen that the work ON The Connecticut
Is greatly facilitated Then. too. the constructors
tribute a great deal the completion. At a prl-
vate ward these are matters which cause much de-
Law and annoyance, since they require repeated
consultation with the authorities. At a govern
nartu1ert authorities Is well known. and there
need not be much delay in the approval OF work or
in ascertaining what would be acceptable. Rear
Admiral Bowles the chief constructor SAYS that

He Is satisfied, however, that the Brooklyn navy
ward will make good showing

MAYORS MAY KILL III.
Many of Them Haze a poice as to
LHOmmedieu Bill.

Although the L'Hommedieu grab BILL has
been passed, James S. Lehmaier, OF the west
Side Committee of One Hundred, believes that
it may never become law. This opinion ne
bases on the fact that the bill, as kind or spe-
ciaI act will have to be accepted by the officials
of the cities it will affect before it can be signed,
and he hopes that some of these cities will
have some regard for the rights of the people" ="
Said he yesterday:
In the well considered judgment of the committee
on law and legislation of the West Side Committee
of One Hundred, the l. LHommedieu bill, under the
requirements of the constitution, must be SUP.
mitted to the Mayor and legislative body or
every city contained in any county adjacent 70
any city of class in this State, before 1t
can be approved by the Governor. 1t directly
affects such cities, and have no doubt that be-
fore the bill can become law II must be accepted
by each one those cities. 1t will have to be aC-
cepted by the Mayor and Common Council OF such
cities as YOnkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle,
in Westchester County; Niagara Falls, North Tona-
wanda and LOckpOrt in Niagara County; BATAVIA
in Genesee County; Olean. in Cattaraugus County,
and Dunkirk and jamestown. in Chautauqua Coun-
tv so that there is considerable ground for the
hope that while the legislature has disregGrded the
wishes of the citizens Of this city in passing TINS
grab" bill we may find the mayors and legislative
bodies OF some of these suburban cities more aIVe
to the rights of the people against the interests
of railroad corporations

LOWEST POSSIBLE TAX.
The Republicans True to Their Pre-
Election Pledges.

Albany. April 23.-Assemblyman James T.
Rogers leader of the Republicans and chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee, issued
to-day the regular financial statement, in in
Producing the bill fixing the direct tax for this
year at thirteen one-hundredths of a mill.
AIr. Rogers said in part:
Allowing for contingencies, which make it i'm
possible to ascertain the exact total of the ap-
preparations which have actually. passed both
houses, and deducting also the approximate
amount of refunds contained in such pllis' II
appears that the total appropriations passed Dy
this legislature this session aggregate ABOUT
S23, 100000
The Annual Appropriation bill, as stated when
the same was introduced in this house in Janu-
ary last and finally passed by both houses
carries appropriations, exclusive Of refunds,
somewhat upward of S17O0O.0O0. The Annual
Supply bill as passed by both houses, exclusive
of refunds, items payable from the canal FUNDS
etc, appropriates about S2.5OO,OOO- The supple
mental Supply bill, just introduced, carries aPc
propriations of about ST40.000. The balance OF
the appropriations are contained in numerous
bills, the largest of which is the one approprat-
ing $4,000 for new buildings, etc, for the IN
sane.
1t may be of interest TO briefly state that GER
tain extraordinary appropriations contained IN
the two supply bills make an increase or ABOUT
81 100000 over the similar items last year. For
instance. the State aid to towns under the Fuller
Highway law, as amended by the Plank bill OF
last year. is $4,000, as against Slo2ooo !ast
year; for good roads, Sl0OO,o00, as against
S195O00 last year; SSitOUo more is gwen LOT the
repairs of armories: 900 more for the repairs
on normal schools; $4,000 more for the state
share in the abolition of grade crossings
$3.50 900 more to the Lunacy Commission for the
care of the insane. All of these increases are for
worthy purposes, which are almost universally
commended and approved by public opinion.
The Republican party gave to the people last
wear the lowest direct tax rate ever known in
the history of the State 1t was a rate of thir-
teen one-hundredths Of mill, which is speclI-
icalIy required by the State Constitution for
the navrnent of the canal debt, thus virtually
ACCOMPLISHING the abolition Of the direct State
MIA
the party to a continuance of this desirable
policy, and the legislature has kept faith with
| the people and carried out the promise BY rea-
son of the legislation enacted at this session.
adding further income to the State Treasury
from Indirect sources it is possible again TO re-
leve the taxpayers of the State from any bur
! den except that which the constitution imposes,
and the members of the majority may feel a
pardonable pride in the fulflment Of the party's
Dledge when vote TO pass this bill, which
again fixes the tax rate at thirteen one-hun-
dredths Of mill the same as 1T was last year
