CRUISER WASHINGTON.
Will Be Queen Of the Navy-com
pIeted Next Year.

Washington.-The cruiser Washing
ton, when completed next year, will be
the queen of the American navy Work
on this magnificent armored cruiser is
progressing rapidly, and the vessel is
today about As per cent completed
The ship is being constructed at the
Cramp ship yards near Philadelphia,
and it is the expectation of the build
ers that she will be launched about
August, 1905, and will cost the govern
ment $4,659,0 900.
More attention has been given to the
general features and designs of the
which is a sister ship, and similar
cruiser Washington than any battle
ship or cruiser in the American navy,
with the exception of the Tennessee,
which is sister ship. and similar in
all respects to the Washington.
The Washington, when launched.
will plough through the ocean at a
rate of 20 knots per hour, a rate Of
speed equaled by only one cruiser thus
far constructed in the American navy.
This is the contract speed required,
and her builders predict that she will
exceed this rate by clear extra knot.

LABOR PROBLEMS AT CAPITAL.
President and Cabinet Members Hold
Conference.

President and Cabinet Members Hold
Conference.
Washington. Labor conditions gen.
orally throughout the country were the
subject of a recent conference which
the president held at the White House
with Attorney General Moody, Secre-
tary Metcalf of the department of
commerce and labor, and Commission
er of Labor Carroll D. Wright. Several
matters which have been appealed to
the president were considered and ac-
ton upon them will be announced la
ter.
The conference was of considerable
importance to the administration and
to labor generally. The president au-
thorized the announcement that the
Chicago strike was not discussed at
the conference Regarding the strik-
ers in various parts of the country the
president and his advisers agreed that
at no point had any Of these passed
beyond the scope of local treatment,
nor was the administration called up
on at this time to take action.
AS for the pending meat strike, al
though it was not specifically discuss
ed at the conference, it can be stated
that the administration does not con-
slider that a national emergency has
been precipitated, as was the case in
the coal strike. Until such an emer-
gency has been created there will be
no official consideration of it by the
administration.

Trade Report.

Dun's review of trade says:
Confidence appears to be returning
despite large addition to the army of
unemployed. Labor disturbances are
the most unfavorable factors in the
industrial and commercial situation at
the present time, curtailing the output
of few much needed products and re.
ducing the demand for all commodi-
ties. Aside from this adverse influence
the situation has improved, although
progress is slow and frequently inter
rupted.
Another week has put wheat and
cotton beyond danger and brought 9th.
er crops nearer maturity. Dealers are
providing for the future little more
freely, and in several important bran
ches of industry orders come forward
in greater bulk. Owing to special con.
ditions, the leading branches of manu-
facture do not make uniform progress
complications as to supplies of raw ma
terial making the current situation par.
ticularly puzzling at the textile mills
and shoe shops.
Failures numbered 220 in the United
States.

and the strikers spent Sunday in
strengthening weak spots in their de-
lenses, preparatory to another week
Of effort to bring their opponents to
terms. All the plants were operated
during the forenoon in order to get
rid of the live stock that had been left
over from last week The remainder
of the day was spent by the employers
in installing new men and arranging
many Of the small details that had
been overlooked last week.
Over 1000 new men were added to
the number already at work in the
different plants Among todays ar
rivals were many skilled laborers,
something the packers have been sad
ly in need of ever since the strike
started. Because of the lack Of skill
ed labor the byproducts of animals
killed have been let go to waste.
Enough skilled men have been procured
in the past 4S hours, however. to justi-
fy the belief that all the byproduct
plants would be in full operation be-
fore the end Of the week.
Strikers Address Public.
The strike leaders spent the greater
part of the day in preparing state
rnent to the public. In this statement
the unionists explain their side of the
controversy. declaring that it is the
packers and not the men who are re-
sponsible for the present state of af-
fairs in the packing industry.
The public Is asked to be lenient
with the men during the strike, it be-
ing declared by the union leaders that
1t will be impossible for the men to
work under the conditions which exist
ed before the strike was called, and
that up to the present time the pack
ers have shown no disposition to treat
the strikers in fair manner.

Whether Huihui's science aud speed
will enable him to outdo the Punch
bowl Terror, Silva, is question on
which there is a wide difference of
opinion. and the same is true of the
contest between Modin and the Guam
wonder. In Castro, the little island
of Guam has a champion who can
make good fight, but Camp McKin-
ley will wear mourning If Modlin does
not put him out
Barry continues to be the favorite
in the contest between him and Kel-
ley and most of the bets and predic-
tions are on the number of rounds.
There are those, however, who think
that Kelley, in his improved condi-
ton, will be able to do up his former
antagonist.
There has been a large sale of
tickets and the Orpheum will he

1t has been decided by the managers

the only runner in the string. Billy

ticipate in the free for all pace and
the 2:1S class race, Cyclone will also
participate in these events. As the
2:1S class race comes on the program
before the free for all event, the most
exciting race is likely to occur in the
first meeting of the horses.
Racine Murphy, Black Bess and
Bruner will be in the w. Lucas stable.
Thelma will go N the pacing race for
Hawaiian bred horses and try to lower
the record for this class. Creola also

FUSAN-NAGASAKI
CABLE BROKEN
LOCAL COMPANY POSTS NOTICE
OF THE INTERRUPTION OF THE
SERVICE.

There has been cable interruption be-
tween Nagasali and Fusan. Notice to
this effect was posted yesterday at the
Office of the local cable company. The
interruption is thought to be due to the
cable having been broken. Whether the
cable was severed as a part of military
operations, or for some other cause, is
not known. Steamers are running at
frequent intervals between Nagasaki
and Fusan, so that messages can be
sent as far as Nagasaki by cable, and
thence transferred by mail service. 1t
is believed that the severing of the ca
bic means that some important opera
tiOn is being attempted and that the
army does not desire to risk news be-
ing sent to the outside world.
