VITAL PARTS BARE.
New United States Vessels Arc Not
Properly ArmOred.

San Francisco, Nov. 2.-The Chroni-
Gle today says; NAVAL officers have
succeeded for many months in keeping
secret peculiar structural feature Of
the new battleship Ohio, which, in the
opinions oi'themselves. as we'll as 9TH
ere, is nothing else than glaripg de-
feet Of a nature 80 serious that, as one
officer expressed it, amounts to an invi-
tation to an enemy to do the vessel
enormous damage in action.
"The detect consists of omitting to
put aImor around the after end OF the
superstructure within which are mount
ed ten 6-inch rapid-fre guns. This
omission, it is held. makes the big war
vessel dangerously vulnerable in vital
part to hostile shots coming from eith-
er quarter.
Furthermore, shells entering this
place might do great damage to the
engine room, the hatch OF which Is well
at in side the casemate and a shell
bursting inside the casemate aTmor
would proDaDly SEND fragments into
the engine room.
"The fault does not lie either with
the builders or the naval constructors
detailed to supervise the work. The
Ohio was built strictly according TO the
plans and specifications which were
made in the navy department in Wash,
ington under the direction and scrutiny
of the board of construction.
The Chronicle further says:
"The Ohio is not the only one of the
new battleships with this fault. Her
two sister ships, the Maine and the
Missouri, as we'll as the Wisconsin,
Alabama and the Illinois, have this
omission"

'''NK OWN VESSELS.
North Sea Incident finds
Favor In London,

London. Nov. 2,--Consideiable dis.
cussion of the theory that the Russians
fired on their own ships and sank one
of their own torpedo boats at the time
of the North sea outrage has been heard
in the last two days in the clubs fle-
quented by naval officers. Nobody
questions the correctness of the theory
or it's compatibility with all the facts
known about the sad affair. The naval
officer who suggested this theory, said
last night:
81 confidently bel eve that the in.
quiry will substantiate my hypothesis
OF course, don't know that any tor
pedo boat was sunk by Russian battle
ships, but II one was sunk, as Admiral
Roiestvensky alleges, it must have
been a Russian boat. The thil g to dc
is to call on the Russians to produce
their torpedo boats. II none has been
sunk it should be possible to produce
the exact number which entered the
North sea little over week ago.
"But whatever may be the reference
to the sinking of one of these craft,
there seems to be no doubt whatever
that two of the Russian torpedo boats
reached Cherbourg in damaged condi-
tion, bearing marks which indicate to
my mind that they were the objects Of
attack by Roestvenjsky's battleships.
"The Blesty AschtChi had her stem
battered and another boat had shot
holes in her sides. 1t is for the in.
quiry board to find how these injuries
were received. | notice. however, that
the Blesty AschtChi is getting away as
last as possible, she having already
been reported as having sailed eastward
from Tangier. 1t may be that an effort
is being made to have her so far away
as to make it impossible for the inquiry
board to get at her officers and find out
what they know about the North sea
horror.
"Admiral Rotestvensky says that the
torpedo boats bombarded his battle.
ships and wounded some among his
crew. That is silly, as torpedo boat
does not lombard battleships. That is
not their method Of attack.
"Thele is another method Of explain
alton of the injured battleshipp. The
fishermen say the Russians were on
both sides OF their craft and that the
shots came from both ways. II that
were 80, it may easily happen that one
of the Russian battleships fred into
another, Again the wounded among
the crews of the battleships may be the
survivors ni the sunken torpedo boat.

BIitain's arrangemf mt with Russia pro.
vided for the detention OF all the ves-
sels of the Baltic feet, instead OF SIM
ply the four battleships now at Vigo.

is running away from us"

the penitentiary stove foundry expires
In July, 1905, soon after the adjourn.
ment Of the next legislature, and the
question is presented, What shall then
be done with the conyicts? This Ques-
tion is suggested In the biennial re-
port of Prison Superintendent C. W.
James, his only recommendation on
the subject being that some plan be
adopted by which all the convicts will
be given constant employment. This
Is desired both as measure of econ
omy for the state and means Of dis
cipline among the prisoners.
The principal recommendation
made by Superintendent James are
that provisions be made by which
youthful prisoners may be separated
from the older men and those SEN
fenced for trivial offenses separated
from hardened criminals; that an ap-
be made which will permit
the enlargement of the library to 1000
volumes; that more land be purchased
so that more of the articles of food
may be produced by convict labor;
that the foundry buildings be repaired
and improved, If the present plan of
convict labor is to be continued; that
the water-power flume be strengthen.
ed so that 1t will not be in banker of
bursting from decay; that a new barn
be constructed that a new system of
plumbing be installed In the prison
cells; that provision should be made
for the employment of guards for pris-
oners condemned to be hanged, and
that an appropriation be made for the
purchase of a surgical table and sur
gical tools for the prison hospital.

OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST

Coos Bay Roads Combining to Build
a New Line.

Marshtield.-T object of the visit
here of Paul Mohr, the Boston rail-
road promoter, is now definitely
known. Mr. Mohr is undertaking to
finance the building of railway con,
nection from Coos Bay to the Southern
Pacific at Roseburg, This means
either new line or the extension of
the present road from Myrtle Point.
Three routes are being examined
and two surveying parties are in the
field. One OF these is trying to find a
pass along the stage road up the mid.
die fork of the Coquille. The route up
the north fork of the Coos river by
Loon lake and through Elkton pass
has also been explored. 1t is believed
the most feasible route is from Myr-
tie Point to Camas valley through a
low pass east of the Mountain House
to Looking-Glass valley, down the
Looking Glass creek to Happy valley
and eight miles up the Umpqua to
Roseburg.
This route gives a grade newhere
to exceed per cent. It makes an
elongated letter "S", and the distance
must be over so miles from Myrtle
Point. This move was inaugurated by
Elijah Smith, and he has been work

conference of railroad men,
Manager Samuels, of the Spreckels
steamship lines, who was at the meet
ing, returned on the last steamer to
San Francisco. Behind all this there
is believed to be still deeper signi-
ficance. Mr. Smith is president of the
Southern Oregon Company, which
owns 1000 acres Of Coos county tim
ber. 1t is desired to get the lumber
back over the belt line and over
railroad to the eastern market. To
this purpose nothing is accomplished
by stopping at Roseburg. Lumber at
RosebuTg is worth even less than 1t
is on Coos bay. To get the benefit de-
sired, the road to Roseburg must lead
to the building of transcontinental
line to the East.
