House Committee Recon-
mends Heavy Ships.
MONEY FOR NAVAL STATIONS
Suggests Erection of Armor Plate Fac
tory to Cost S4,Ooo,ooo to. Cut
Trust Prices.

The House Committee on Naval At
fairs has decided 10 accept the advice
OF Admiral Dewey rather than the rec
concentrations of the general board, OF
which he is a member, in the matter of
the construction program for the navy
for the coming fiscal year
Admiral Dewey advocates the con-
struction of strong fighting ships that
in his own language can give and
take rather than smaller and less for
midable craft such as was suggested by
the general board and approved by the
Secretary of the Navy
Dewey Disagreed.
Admiral Dewey disagreed with the
other members OF the board which rec
commended the construction of one bat
tleship. one armored cruiser. three pro-
tected cruisers. four scout cruisers and
two squadron GOLFERS He counseled
eliminating the lighter vessels and build
ing another armored cruiser.
Accordingly. the committee has agreed
TO insert in its bill provision for one
battleship. two armored cruisers in
stead OF one three scout cruisers. and
two squadron Golfers, thus cutting out
of the recommendations of the general
board the three protected cruisers and
one OF the scout cruisers in order to build
a second armored cruiser. The construc-
ton program will thus cost approx
nately $2s. 000, 900.
Two Submarine Boats.
The committee win also insert in the
measure an item reappropriating the
$4,000 appropriated for the purchase OF
two submarine boats, but which was not
expended.
The bin will contain an appropriation
OF $4,000 TO begin work on the naval
station at Olongapo. p. l., $500, 900. Of
which is TO be expended on the coal
plant. and viii appropriate 1856. 900 to be-
gin the work on the station at Guanta-
namo. Cuba
After giving much consideration to the
subject the committee has decided TO
empower the Secretary OF the Navy 10
expend 100000 in the erection Of a
Government armor plate factory. II In
mis- opinion the prices charged now by
the three concerns now making armor
plate is unreasonable and unjust The
bill will carry an appropriation approxi-
mately Of $50. 900 900. II will authorize ar
increase OF 1900 men in the naval estab-
ishment- The bill will shortly be re-
ported to the House.
Cost in Twenty Years.
The Senate Committee on Naval At
fairs has just compiled a statement of
the annual naval appropriations for the
last twenty years, which shows that
since 1888 the expense was S796. 476. 46s.
These figures show these appropriations
nave increased from about S14, 600 900 in
1888 TO Ss1.Ooo.OOO during the present year.
ana an estimated expenditure Of nearly
sleSO0OOO for the fiscal year Of 1904
In a speech on the floor OF the Senate
recently Senator Henry NJ Teller OF
Colorado. declared that the total cost
OF the Philippines TO this Government
since the treaty of Paris aggregated
more than $500. 900. CO., or a sum even
greater than the total expenditure for

The failure of hand brakes to hold

last night caused a rear end collision
in which half a dozen persons were In

assembled the hill as far as the curve
where they were to wait for the dunn

of the distance. The motorman ap-
piled the brakes, but they would not
hold the car on so steep a grade and

AN ARITHMETIC
THAT FUDDLES EN-
TEACHERS AND PARENTS FROWN
UPON PRESENT TEXTBOOKS.
The System Is an Exponent of Modern
''Methods'' and Its Opponents Say Tt
Is Too Much on the Broadside Or
der-Board to Consider Objections.

Vigorous complaints of the manner
in which arithmetic is now being
taught in the public schools are be-
ing received by members of the board
of education and will be discussed at
the next meeting of the board,
Feb. %.
The textbook now in use is in three
books. The general objection made
is that the series is too advanced for
the pupils for whom it is designed
and that 1t offers a salad of the sub
ject instead Of the meat, for those just
going on diet.
TOO many subjects are taught be-
fore one can possibly be learned we'll, :"
said a prominent educator this morn
ing. con the first ten pages Of book
two, for instance. there are ten diff
ferent subjects, including addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division
and denOminate numbers. Then there
is page Of review. Then another
ten pages of hodgepodge and another
review. How in the name of common
sense is a child to get a. grounding in
any one Of the subjects before he is
off on another?
I'm this same volume the following
difficult subjects are taken up and
brought to the scattered attention of
the pupil: Specific gravity, measure
ments, lumber and carpentering, per-
centage, discount and miscellaneous
application Of percentage, interest and
ratio and proportions Of squares, cir
Giles, spheres and cubes, notes OF
banks, partial payments and square
