WILL
HAVE NEW NAVY
DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN POSITION as
FIRST CLASS POWER-AMERICA
LIKELY TO BENEFIT

st. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-Amerlca is
likely TO profit. both directly and in
directly from the execution of the
large naval program which Russia is
now celebrating.
The vital importance of the sea
power has been Russia's bitterest les
son of the war: and the government is
fully determined that the maintenance
of the empires position in future as a
first class power will be impossible
without an adequate navy. II the
losses the Pacific feet has already
sustained should be followed by dis
aster to Vice Admiral Roiestvensky S
squadron, it will be necessary not only
to rebuild the whole navy, but to in
crease It's strength. The immensity Of
the task seems TO be fully appreciated.
While some of the contracts will be
placed abroad, owing to the limited
facilities Of Russian yards (and it is
expected that at least one big ship
will be constructed in America), the
admiralty's plans will be directed
towards the ultimate divorce from de-
pendence upon foreign shipbuilders by
the organization at home of vast ship
building, armor plate, ordnance and
kindred industries. For this purpose
Il is realized, however, that foreign
builders and specialists must be at
tracted; and some alluring prospects
are likely to present themselves. Wick
ers Sons and Maxim & Armstrong,
Whitworth & Co., limited of Eng
land, have already made advances,
but owing to the anti-English senu-
ment, British firms are not meeting
with a very cordial reception. The dis
position is to turn towards France,
Germany and the United States; and
a great plant at Libau or on the banks
OF the Neva, directed by American
brains. and possibly in association
with French and German enterprise
is one of the possibilities Of the near
future.
Among the Americans here nego-
tiating with the Russian government
is J. e. Wilson, who is trying to sell
an invention of smokeless powder per
fected by a ScOtchman named Arch
bold, who once was a resident of the
United States. The particular merit
claimed for the powder, which is

rev YORK, Nov. 19.-After two full
court days a jury was secured, who
will decide the fate of Nan Patterson,
the actress, who is charged with the
murder of Caesar Young. After eau
tioning the jurors not to discuss the
case among themselves, and directing
them not TO read newspaper accounts
of the trial. Justice Davis adjourned
court until Monday.
During the search for the IL jurors,
80 talesmen were examined, and the
defense used up 28 of the 80 chal-
lenges which It is allowed by law. The
prosecution had 16 of its 80 challenges
left when the last juror was chosen.
A sensation was sprung when it was
announced that Mr.. Levy, counsel for
Miss Patterson, received a letter from
another person claiming to have seen
the shooting of Young. 1t was written
in German and signed by Il. Black. "
Tho writer claims to have witnessed
the struggle in the cab. and says that
he saw Young turn the revolver
against his own breast and fire.
Il saw it with my own eyes. on the
morning of June 4, a man in the cab
with pistol in his hand. and a woman
was sitting alongside him." says the

JURY READY FOR

II, ana II you think it worth while to

take an oath on this for the sake of

Assistant District Attorney Rand,
who has charge of the prosecution of
Nan Patterson, announced that he had
received a message which stated that
Hyman Stern, the pawnbroker, by
whose evidence the prosecution In
tended to show important facts, is i'll
with appendicitis. Mr.. Rand would not
say whether or not delay in the trial
might result. Stern testified before
the grand jury that he identified the
weapon which was found in Young's
pocker as one he had sold the day be-
fore the shooting to a man who was
accompanied by a woman. He also tes-
titled that the woman was not Nan

FLYING MACHINE HAS
ANOTHER ACCIDENT

st. Louis, Nov. 19.-The airship OF
T. c. Benbow, of Columbus, Mont.
was cast loose in the aeronautic con-
course at the Worlds Fair, and it i'm
mediately ascended 80 feet. Just as
the flying machine was about to clear
the fence of the concourse, the anchor
caught and held it fast. After being
released, the hooks caught in tree
and the machine, after being up for
nearly five minutes was brought 10
the ground again.
When the airship's drag rope caught
IN the tree the position of the naviga-
tor was extremely perilous. The flying
machine was pitching and tossing on
the end of the rope, more than 80
feet from the ground. and it was only
by the utmost exertion that he pre-
vented himself from being thrown
from the basket.
Benbow finally released his hold
with one hand, and, in imminent dan
ger of being tossed from tie car, low
cred a second rope to the ground and
was pulled safely down.

roar OF cannon Heard az Mukden.
Mukden, Nov 19.-On the morning
Of November II, after a long silence,
the distant roar of cannon was heard,
but where the fighting occurred is NOT
yet known. There is no assurance yet
that it means that a general fight is
beginning. No excitement is yet dis
played among Russian officers or Chi
nese here.
The Red Cross is making extensive
preparations for the transportation Of
wounded from fields of battle. Two
kinds of horse litters are being exper-
lmented with, one for the seriously
wounded and the other for the slightly
wounded In the event of the trial be-
ing successful, which seems likely, all
field hospitals will be equipped with
these litters, reducing the number of
bearers, which under the old system
has necessarily subtracted from tho
