reau of yards and docks of the Navy De-
partment. has awarded the contract for
the construction of the big steel self-dock-
Ing floating dry dock for Cavite. Philippine
Islands. to the Maryland Steel Company
of Sparrow's Point, Maryland. The con-
tract price Of the dock is 81, $4,000, and
the terms of the contract provide that it
shall be delivered on the Atlantic coast
within twenty-seven months.
The plans provide for the most complete
and largest dock of the kind ever built for
naval use. The bending strains on a float
ing dry dock for warships are extremely
severe. and 1t is considered desirable to
keep all jointed connections as far from
the center of the dock as possible

Fight for Supremacy Between the
Amalgamated and Brotherhood.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-The struggle be-
tween the warning unions of carpenters
was resumed today, the fourth of the
strike. Renewed efforts on the part Of the
amalgamated union to install its members
in the places left vacant by the striking
members of the brotherhood were encour-
aged by the announcement that a second
firm of contractors had consented to en-
ploy them instead of brotherhood men. The
amalgamated men are coming in from the
outlying districts and are being put to
work on the big office buildings in process
of erection down town.
Officials of the brotherhood and Of the
Civic Federation express hope that Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Federation

THE IOWA'S DISASTER

PENSACOLA, Fla, April 1O.-An investi-
cation of the explosion on the battle ship
Iowa, which occurred in this port yester-
day, resulting in the death of three and the
injury of four others, shows that the acci-
dent was caused entirely by a defective
shell fuse, which, it is stated, burned faster
than was calculated. 1t is understood that
the shell exploded fully sixty seconds be-
fore 1t was timed to go off.
An examination of the ship this morning
showed that the bursted gun was beyond
repair, and that the twelve-inch forward
turret would have to be repaired. A num-
ber of supporters are sprung, and it is
stated that portions of the deck will have
to be replaced where pieces of the heavy
gun tore through.
The funeral of the three men who were
killed in the accident took place this morn
ing. The dead were buried in the national
cemetery here with military honors. COM

Electricity

1t occurred in a class in physics in
a prep school. The student in ques-
ton had never felt the warm blood of
ambition coursing through his veins
and looked with superb indifference and
contempt on the subject of study of any
kind. In fact his study bump was fiat.
The subject before the class was cleo
tricity. Prof. Snyder propOunded the
question to the youth,
What is electricity"
The young man arose, scratched the
place where his study bump ought 20
have been, gazed blanlHly into space,
and replied:
Don't KNOW
fright! Right exclaimed the pro-
fessor. First question you have an
swered right since 1 have heard you re-
cite. Mark you perfect! No one knows
what electricity isl"
The same student was asked later in
regard to the Douglas and he readily
replied:

teed against leakage and the annoy
ance of running water. Bath, the plum

fuse to submit their claims to such
arbitration, or to abide by the decision
of the commission if they do.
AS proposal to settle these claims
and at the same time get some good
advertising, some Worldwide advertis-
ing for the territory, why not have
these claims submitted to The Hague
Tribunal? if they can be gotten before
that august court? Being claims
against a territory which is without
national sovereignty it may not be pos
sibe to get them before that tribunal.
But the first case sent to The Hague
was one in which the Catholic church
Of the State of California was the real
plaintiff in interest. If a case of that
kind could be gotten before The Hague
Tribunal, it would seem as though
matters arising and originally at issue
between Independent powers might al
so be tried there. If they were, the
territory would get lots of free adver-
Using out of it.

1t is hard to understand why the Re
publicans in the Senate in framing
their rules should have put it out of
their power on party division to limit
debate and secure action. The party
is responsible for whatever legislation
is accomplished, and it will be respon-
sible if the time of the Senate is vast
ed and frittered away in idle chatter or
dilatory tactics. 1t is all very well TO
be magnanimOus, and to assume that
the other side will not waste time in
that way. But the other side did do
that very thing at the last legislature
1t would have been much better for the
Republicans to have framed the rules
so that as a party they could control
the progress of business in the Senate.
1t would not be necessary to invoke
the previous question every time ii was
possible to do so. Certainly the Repub-
leans could trust themselves not to UNI
fairly curtail debate as well as they
could trust the Home Rulers not to
unnecessarily prolong It, However, the
rules can be changed at any time that
the Home Rulers show a disposition to
take undue advantage of the gener4
osity the Republicans have displayed.

THE HAGUE FOR HAWAII.

Governor Dole's message to the legis-
with which legislation has to do to-
gether with a conservative, but hopeful
outlook for the future. While it is
wholesomely optimistic, it is ruggedly
frank. 1t takes stock of what is, and
points out what may be.
On the liquor question, the Governor
suggests the application of local option.
On the subjects of lotteries, opium and
gambling, his recommendations are in
effect the repeal of those laws on the
subject which were suitable enough
when Hawaii was an Independent re-
public, but which are not suitable to
territory of the union because with in
ter-state rights and obligations they
are not the appropriate means to the
desired ends.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
features of the message is that in rela-
ton to the so-called British claims.
So little has been said about these of
late, that a good many people had for
gotten that they existed. However,
there is no hope that any claimants be-
fore a legislature will ever forget their
claims. Every once in a while congress
passes an act allowing and paying
claims a century old or such matter.
His recommendation for a commission

If Mrs. f. p. Dole is quoted correctly

incidentally it might be remarked
that secret ballotting for a Speaker and
