NEW BRITISH NAVAL STATION.
To be EstabIished on she North side of
 the Firth.

London, March 5.-Premier Balfour announced in the House of Commons to-day that the admiralty has decided to establish a new naval station at St. Margarets Hope. on the north side of the Firth of Forth.
 When a rumor of the governments intention to establish new naval base gained currency recently it led to ex- cited comment in Germany. where it was held that it showed distrust of that country, as the suggested base could only be intended to meet possible att tack from Germany.
 The British army estimates for 1903- Of issued this evening call for a total expenditure Of $171 ,00O and provide for 235, ,76l men, exclusive of the troops ill India.
 The estimates include $2O.OOO,0OO for special expenditure in connection with South Africa, part of which sum is for the payment of compensation claims and S25OO.O0O for the China and Soma liland expeditions.
 It is estimated that the expenditures for naval services, s137, ,94O,OOO, is almost the same as it was for 1902-03.
 Public opinion is not unanimous re- garding the selection of St. Margarets Hope as a site for the new naval base many naval men contending that it would have been better to have placed it further south in the neighborhood of the Tyne.s The admiralty's decision however, in creating a new naval sta- tion meets with general approval. It is stated that the government has al- ready purchased ample land along the Fore shore of the Firth of Forth and the work of construction will be begun forthwith.
 From a strategical point of view the site is admirably selected. The naval station will be practically impregnable to attack, the estuary being already defended by strong modern fortifica- tions. There is a splendid natural har- Dor at St. Margaret's Hope with deep water and ample accommodation for a large fleet, while in close proximity are important coal fields and the place have good railway connections. The construc- tion of a new naval base will also be more economical than enlarging the ex- 1 isting dock yards which would entail enormous costly buildings and dredging l operations.

TO ABOLISH ROWDYISM,
Stringent ResoIutions Adopted by the
 National League.

New York, March 5.-At the meeting of the National league to-day stringent resolutions were adopted which it is hoped will do away with rowdyism on the ball field in the future. In reso- lution offered by James Hart of Chi cago, and amended by Mayor Julius Fleischmann of Cincinnati it was unan- imously agreed that President Pulian should be ''vested with full and abso- lute power to maintain order and dis cipline on the ball field; that he shall have full power to discipline any player or manager for violation of good order upon the ball field; and that this discipline shall be either in a fine or suspension from the grounds of any club"
 By an amendment offered by MT. Fleischmann the clubs are forbidden to pay the fine of any player, or to pay salaries to players under suspension.
 The meeting adjourned until to-mor- row, when the session of the league will be brought to a close.

ACTION ON CANAL TREATY.
Repubiican senaforafo Make an United
 Effort for It.

AhAASsA Apt Aa
 Washington, March 5.-The republi-
 can senators will make a united effort
 to secure action on the Panama canal. treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty
 as speedily as possible. A, meeting of
 the republican steering committee of
 the senate was held after adjournment
 to-day and this course was decided on. The situation was discussed at some length and the conclusion was reached that business might be greatly facili- tated by keeping as many senators as
 possible in the city and in their seats, and the individual members of the steering committee agreed to devote l their energies to this end. No one in the committee had any definite inform ation as to the time that may be con- sumed in debating the treaties, but it was stated as rumor that Senator Morgan had said that as there were a | number of new members of the senate he would feel it incumbent on himself | to go over the ground quite completely and even to review much that he had already said.
 The evident purpose of the republi-
 cans is to avoid, if possible, calls on
 account of the absence of quorum
 and to keep the senate running as
 steadily as possible. They are agreed
 as to the desirability of completing the
 session at an early day. The Cuban
 treaty, under the extension provided for
 in the agreement between this country
 and Cuba, expires at the end of this
 month. The Panama treaty. however,
 will be the first of the two to be taken ! up.

UPTON QUITE CONFIDENT
CONVICTION CROWS THAT HE
 HAS CUP LIFTED.

Challenger WIII be Ready for Launch
 tng St. Patrick's Day-DesigneE Wat
 son Satisfied That New Boat wiII
 Prove Decided Advance on Anything
 He Has Yet Produced.
 Glasgow, March 5-Sir Thomas Lip ton was interviewed by the Associated Press correspondent to-day after Sir Thomas had made an inspection of the Americas cup challenger. He said that everything would be practically ready to launch Shamrock III. at 1:3O on the afternoon of St. Patrick's day, when a general holiday would be de- clared in Dumharton. Sir Thomas said his conviction that he had the cup lifted" grows and increases every time he sees the Shamrock III, and he was pleased to find that his opinion was shared by those who were considered to be good judges.
 Designer Watson said that he was satisfied that the new boat will prove a decided advance on anything they had yet produced and will be able to give a considerable time allowance to Sham rock II.
 Designer Fife who is generally reti- cent in his opinion, admitted that the Shamrock III. would be the prettiest boat ever sent across the Atlantic.
 The first trial spin of the challenger is set for March 27. There will be pre- liminary trials on the Clyde and then in the Solent. Later she will race at Belfast and possibly at Kingstown Ireland, where special matches will be arranged. Shamrock III. will leave this side about the middle of June, and it is hoped that she will arrive at New York in the first week of July. It is now uncertain whether there will be any trial races in American waters Colonel Sharman Crawford, vice-com- modore of the Royal Ulster club, will act as manager of the boat. He has contracted with the crews of the chal- lenger and Shamrock I. to give twelve racing trials for prize money on this side, Shamrock I. receiving handicap of probably ten minutes on thirty mile course, It is calculated that if the challenger can do this she can beat the Columbia by a comfortable margin.

An Amusing Incident of the Waterbury
 Trouble.

WORKING HARD ON REPORT
STATEMENT BY COAL STRIKE
 COMMISSION.

Every Endeavor Being Made to Reach n
 Speedy COmciusIon-Cause of the COn-
 suItatiOns in Washington With Pres.
 Mitchell and Other Labor Leaders and
 Lawyers for the Operators.
 Washington, March 5-The following statement regarding the meeting to-day of the anthracite coal commission. at which President John Mitchell, the an thracite district presidents and lawyers for the coal roads, with representatives of the mining companies were present, was given out by the commission late this afternoon:
 ''The anthracite coal strike commits sion met to-day for the purpose of a consultation with the counsel and rep resentatives of the miners and the coal operators, to enable She commission to avoid any misunderstanding as to mat ters under it's consideration but not to submit to the parties any conclusions reached by the commission of any form of any award. One of the difficult sub jects with which the commission had to deal is that of paying for coal by weight rather than by car. Various methods have been suggested as sub- stitute, some of which were not touch- ed upon at length in the voluminous testimony before the commission. It was necessary, therefore, for the com mission to meet counsel on both sides and have free and frank talk with them. Such a consultation could not have taken place had it been open to the public. No additional testimony was asked for nor offered.
 "The commission is hard at work up- on it's report, sitting late at night and making every endeavor to reach a speedy conclusion, but just when a de- cision can be reached cannot be stat ed."
