THE KA1sER's IDEA OF A NAVY.
System and Ships of What Will Prob
 ably Be Greatest in the World.

The German navy is practically the creation of the present kaiser's reign. Up to 1888 it was insignificant in num- bers and was a factor of inflnitesimal importance in the balance of naval power. Even today it is not particu- larly formidable. But it is being yearly augmented with skill, pertinacity and foresight that indicate ulain1y what the future will bring forth. Scheme after scheme for it's increase is laid before the country and the reichstag and with a few unimportant deductions is car- ried. The ''boundless plans of 1898 were followed by the still more bound less plans of 1900; and already the Ger man navy league. which acts as har- binger to the German admiralty, is, like Oliver Twist. demanding more. All the German shipbuilders have their slips full; the Imperial dockyards are working to their utmost capacity: thou- sands of men are extending kiel and Wilhelmshaven, the headquarters Of the navy in the Baltic and the North Sea; and still the kaiser calls-like the impcrious. eager captain of a cruiser in full pursuit of a quaIry-for more steam"
 Yet in spite of appearances, the Ger man is quite at home on the sea. The handling of German ships is good in manoeuvres; that of the torpedo boats has with long years of practice been brought to absolute perfection. When the kaiser visited England in 1899 ths manner in which the German boats es- corted him was something of q surprise even to British destroyer officers, who thought that they knew a thing or two about torpedo warfare. There are cer- tain formations-the famous "German wedge" for example-which, so far IS I know, have never been attempted by other navies. But any one who has seen German boats at their work, as I have near Kiel, will confess the eXcei- lence Of the manoeuvring. ''The bold ness and dash of the young officers Gn a torpedo-boat attack) were beyond all praise is the regular comment of Ger man newspaper correspondents with the fleet in it's annual exercises.-H. w. Wilson (author of 'Ironclads in Act ion'O. in 'Colliers Weekly.

cross-questioning. but both denied
completely with the affair. They would
not even admit. the chief says. that
they were In Pueblo at the time OF
the murder and say they can prove
that they were in a different part OF
the state. They are a sullen pair and
answer questions in a dogged manner.
Deputy Sheriff Granger says he is
positive that Davis and Brewer were
both in Pueblo the night of the muir
der. He also says the men who iden-
titled the photographs OF the suspects
are persons who are not at all likely to
be mistaken.
The murders with Which Davis and
Brewer are charged occurred in the
Losteau restaurant in Pueblo about
1880 O'Clock on the night OF March 18th,
while the place was filled with custom
ers. Two men entered the front door
and with drawn revolvers told Mrs
Iosteau. who was in charge OF the
cashiers window, to hand over the
money. Mrs. Losteau screamed

They came to Denver after committing
the crimes and the police were asked
to look out for them. On the night OF
February 18th Policeman Morley was
notified that some one was on the rooI
of the gambling house at No. 1853 Lar
liner street. Morley crawled TO the
roof and found Davis. Brewer and W.
G. Berry. They were taken to jail,
where they confessed that they were
going to rob the place. Davis and
Brewer were identified as the men
wanted in Boulder. They were sent to
that town and convicted. Berry. the
police say, is now serving sentence
in the penitentiary for burglary.
Davis and Brewer will be taken TO

Gs-cnville. Miss. March 2s.-A vol
ume of water sixteen feet deep and
over 900 feet in length is pouring stead
lily through a crevasse in the levee five
miles south of here, and is flooding
thousands of acres of tha finest farm
ing land in the celebrated Yazoo delta.
The break in the levee occurred at IL
o'clock yesterday morning, and the
roar of the rushing waters can easily be
heard in Greenyille.
Only 200 feet of the embankment
gave way at first, and a mighty effort
was made by hundreds of laborers to
check the flood by cribblng and sack
ing. but 1t was soon apparent that
II was beyond human power to success

current An hour later 1t was seen
that the ends. of the levee on either

embankment away as though it was

LEGAL QUESTION
IN WILL CASE

Denver, March 2s.-Ths Republican,
which sides with l. Harry Stratton, the
contestant, in the Stratton will case.
prints the following dispatch from its
special correspondent at Colorado
Springs last night:
When the court convenes tomorrow
morning to take up the Stratton will
contest. with a ncw jury impaneled in
attendance. one of the first questions
TO be raised for settlement by the
court will be who, under the law, are
the contestants and who are the pro-
ponents. This will have to be deter
mined, first of ALL as the decision will
carry with 1t the right of the partys
attorneys to open and close the argu-
ment. and have the first examination
of the jury panel. Senator Patterson
has set his mind on making the clos
ing argument, and will insist that the
burden of proof for the admission of
the Stratton will to probate rests with
the executors named in that document,
whom he represents.
Although |. Harry Stratton is con-
testing the will, 1t is possible that the
contention of the other side will not
be gainsaid, for the present, at any
rate, in view of the legal advantages
to come later.

According to Deputy Sheriff Granger
Davis and Brewer were in Pueblo on

not there the next day. but were traced
to Denver. Then the sheriff of Pueblo
came here and with the city detectives
tried to locate the men. The names of
the suspects were learned and their
photographs were found at the Denver
police station. These pictures were
sent to the witnesses of the murders in
Pueblo and in every case they were
identified as the murderers.

sheriffs in the state and when one

prints the following;
There is a report to the effect that
all the beet sugar factories of north
ern Colorado will shortly be connected
by system OF railroads built by the
beet sugar interests themselves. 1t is
said the charter of the Great Western
railroad. which was Incorporated last
year, will be utilized, and that the
road will ultimately be built into Den
yer. No definite confirmation was
given the report by those of the beet

railroad men are inclined to believe
that the railroad companies will look
after these matters without the or
ganization of separate and compet-

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BREAKS

When the first report of the break

selves in readiness to move at a mo-

water reached this city. but IL is be-
lieved there is no danger here from
the flood. as the water will pass rapidly

The break is unquestionably the
worst in the history of the levee sys-

vicksburg will be inundated. and the
fine farming lands in Washington. Boil

Hegwer, boiler inspector under Gov
ernor Waite. The claim was for
S6O4.74. for which he had received a
certificate. afterwards lost. from At
torney General Carr and Auditor Low
ell. Mr.. Miller says: Il believe 1t Is
proper at this time to say that this
account is more than eight years old,
and that with the ever-shifting incum-
bents in Office and the continual intro
duction OF new officials who are not
conyersant with the facts of former ad-
minlstratsons, that 1t is entirely Just
and necessary that the state should in

state claims. Especially should this
be done when former administrations
have refused to pay an account"
The state land board is preparing to
dispose of the North and Middle parks
grazing problem, which has been
avoided by successive land boards for
several years. The state owns i'm
mense tracts OF land in both parks
which are valuable for grazing pur-
poses. Before the state acquired the
tracts. certain small areas were taken
up by settlers. and these holdings are
entirely surrounded, in half a dozen
instances. by the state lands The
state has had propositions from large
cattle interests to lease these tracts
at rates which would return consider
able sums of money, but no leases
have ever been given. because 1t was
feared that the settlers would be en-
all the land was leased. Two years
ago Register Joyce. of the land office
appointed Mrs. Lucille Jenny plat
clerk. She took the confused records
of the board. and marked down, town
ship by township. in regular plats, all
land owned by the state. From these
plat books Mrs. Jenny has been able
to make a map of North and Middle
parks. showing all the land in ques-
tion. Another plat will be made show
ing all the sections upon which two or
more applications to lease have been
filed. With these maps before II. the
board can go ahead and grant leases
to the settlers of the sections which
will give them outlets to the open
range. and then the remaining lands
may be leased to the larger companies
to be fenced and held as private range.
An eight-hour day has been put into
force in the land Office. which is the
only office in the state house on this
basis The step was made necessary
by the large amount of work on hand
in the office, and is one of the reforms
inangurated by the present state ad-
ministration. on the principle that the
people of the state are entitled to the
same service from employees that
would be required from the employees
of corporation.
