Fleet OF War Vessels.

The following is Germany's naval
programme which was TO be completed
by 1916. but the work has been so has
tened that the maximum strength of
the fleet will be reached before that
year: Thirty eight battle ships, four
teen large cruisers and thirty eight
small cruisers. In accordance with the
emperor's scheme six more large cruis-
ers and seven smaller ones were de-
manded for use on foreign stations. but
this portion Of the programme could
not be carried through the reichstag.
and for the present it has been drop
ped, but only for the time.
Germany pins her fortunes to the
battle ship OF moderate dimensions and
on small displacement arranges a
heavy gun power, and except as scouts
TO the great fighting ships she spends
little or no money on cruisers. She has
four armored cruisers of just over 1900
tons In hand. but one searches in vain

tons, which figure In the plans Of Great
Britain and the United States. Ger

The bedrock on which the emperor
is building is this: Germany. owing to
the many claims she has to meet for
her predominating army, her colonies
and her protective commercial system.
cannot hope to have a fleet to equal
that of Great Britain. but it must be
ship for ship more efficient than any
navy afioat, and in this manner its in

Many unique and interesting things
can be found in the high mountains
that surround the Yellowstone Nation
al Park, but 1t Is doubtful II anything
more odd or interesting can be found
than the little railroad that connects
the towns Of Horr and Aldrich, Mont.
While this road was built by the Mon.
tana Coal and Iron Company as an ad.
junct to its business, 1t has exceeded
the original intentions Of its projectors
and is now a regular passenger and
freight road, and has been facetiously
named the Rocky Mountain Limited.
The road is narrow gauge. and the mo-
tive power Is both cable and electric
fly. The cable that operates the first
section OF the road is 1000 feet in
length, and IN some places It pulls the
funny little car up q forty-three per
cent. grade, across trestles that Il
shakes ones nerves to look at, and
into a little power house. the Dew
Drop Inn. that looks Ike q red speclx
on the top Of the mountain. From the
inn to Aldrich, the end of the line, the
road changes into an electric trolley,
and the workmen and tourists who
pafronize it enjoy riding upon the fun

OUR TREATY WITH CHINA

.Sper!oi Cable Despatch 10 THE SUS.
SHANGHAI, April 5.-The revised Ameri-
can commercial treaty. which is now being
negotiated. omits the clauses contained
in the original treaty referring to the pay
ment Of the indemnity and to the customs
generally. and follows the lines OF the treaty
negotiated by Sir James Mackay, the Brit
Is h Commissioner.
The United States stipulates, however.
the entire abolition of the likn or inland
revenue tax and all native custom houses
and salt and opium stations, their abolition
to be compensated for by the imposition
OF q surtax equivas mt in amount to the
import duty. The treaty limits the total
taxation on exports to IA per cent. IT
exempts all native machine-made goods
from all export duties.
Il Ia not likely that the Chinese will ac-
cept the proposed surtax, which amounts
to S per cent, because the British treaty
offers much more for partial abo lition OF
the barrier system.
Article II of the American treaty requires
China to open TO foreign trade the cities
OF Pekin. Mukden and Takushan.
This last named place, which is near
the mouth Of the Yalu River, comes within
the scope OF the supplementary Port Ar
thur convention of 1898, under which the
place cannot be opened to foreign trade.
The Chinese are anxious to know whether
the United States are not aware Of this
convention, or II they are prepared to dis
pute il.

ceipts 81 900 . Week More.
James B. Reynolds, secretary to the
Mayor, has been quoted in a newspaper
as saying that there had been grating
in the License Bureau last year to the extent
OF at least $4,000. Last night Mr.. Reynolds
denied that he had made such statement.
What did say he explained. was that
the receipts OF the bureau since the new
police squad has been put in have increased
10 such an extent that II the average il
maintained the revenue OF the bureau for
1903 will be at least so 600 over the receipts
for 1872. or course. this additional income
will be due largely to the fact that the work
being done by the new squad is more efficient
than the methods which were followed
by the old band Of policemen who were
in the department for 10 many years.
while have been told that under former
administrations there was lot OF grating
done by policemen attached to the bureau,
and that they stood in with the fences
who did business under the guise OF pawn
brokers. junkshops and second hand fur
niture dealers, did not mean IL TO he under
stood that the collection OF graft had con-

obtain a priority over the other creditors.
This compelled Mr.. Grouse to ask the Court
