Charleston Exposition Claims.

Washington, March a.-The treasury
department. has begun to settle the
claims arising from the Charleston ex-
position, for the satisfaction of which
congress last spring appropriated $780,
goo. Chief among the claims was that
Of Capt. F. W. WAGNER amounting to
sf44, 42s. .45. Favorable action has al
ready been taken with all payments OF
this claim on 40 per cent. basis, and
warrant for s57, ,771,58 has been
made out in Capt. Wagener's favor.
On the claim OF the German Artillery
for $500, S156 has been allowed and
S46. 16 paid.
Additional evidence is needed before
all the claims can beadnally adjusted,
and the secretary of the treasury to-
day wrote to the master in chancery Of
Charleston for further testimony,
upon receipt of which the claims will
be paid. It's estimated at the treasury
department that with--S160, 600 avail
ablye 6 per cent. of the claims can be

NAMES OF THE NEW BA7TLEsHIps.
The States Of Vermont, Kansas,
Minnesota, Mississippi and Ida
no Will be Represented.

Washington, March 5.-Secretary
Moody this afternoon reached a decis-
ion as to the States after which the
Eve battleships provided for in the
new naval bill shall be named. The
three 16, 0O0-ton battleships are to be
named Vermont, Kansas and Mime
sofa and the two 13,000-ton vessels
will be christened Mismsissippi and
Idaho. That no time is to be lost IN
the construction Of the new ships is
evident from the action OF the sec1e-
tary this afternoon in directing the
general board to prepare the circulars
for the 16, o0O-ton ships which are to
be of the Connecticut and Tennessee
class. AS there are no IL, o00-ton ships
on the naval lists it will, of course,
take longer to prepare the plans and
