ON SHIP CONSTRUCTION.
Discussion By Expert, Including Sir
William White, In Presi-
dents Office.

At Washington in the Presidents
office there was an informal discus
sion Wednesday afternoon the subject
of naval construction in general ana
the construction of battleships in par
ticular.
Those present who participated in
he discussion were President RoOse-
Welt, Sir William White, formerly
chief of the construction department
of the British Navy; Secretary of the
Navy Morton, Rear Admiral Capps,
chief constructor; Rear Admiral Con
verse, chief of the Bureau of NaviRa
tion; Rear Admiral Rodgers. formerly
-commandant of the New York navy
yard; Rear Admiral Evans, chief of
the Lighthouse Board, and Lieuten-
ant Commander Sims, inspector of
target practice.
The new type of battleship came in
for the greater share of discussion.
Sir William White was particularly
interested in the tentative plans Of the
American naval constructors for q
battleship of great tonnage-probably
between IS, 600 and 20, 000-with a
main battery of ten 12-inch guns
mounted in turrets and broadside, and
a secondary battery composed entirely
of 3.inch guns of the new type, known
as the torpedo attacg defenders. -
The British expertswas doubtful as to
the possibility of Immediately over
coming the construction problems in
volyed in the radical departure from
ordinary types which would be neces-
sary in constructing a battleship OF
the class contemplated, but expressed
himself as confident that eventually
such a ship would be accepted as the
most formidable.
Sir William complimented the con-
struction corps of the United States
Navy on the farsightedness shown by
it in being the first to conceive the
idea Of a battleship of the proposed
type, armed according to the tenta.
tive plans, and said he should watch
the development of the new idea with
the greatest interest.

A Driving Accident

While Mr.. Samuel Crandell and Mr..
Daniel Taylor, son of James S. lay
lor, funeral director, were out driving
Yesterday afternoon, they met with
an accident and made miraculous
escape from serious injury. A shaft
of the dayton broke and wheel came
off, throwing both occupants out of
the carriage. Mr.. Crande1 received
several cuts and bruises, but young
TAYLOR made a narrow escape from
death. He was entangled in the reins
and dragged about fifty feet His
left arm was broken between the
wrist and elbow and his hand and
wrist were also badly sprained. Sew
eral deep cuts were inflicted on his
right hand and his face was bruised
and two teeth loosened. The injuries
were dressed and the arm set by DR.
S. S. Hepburn. Those who witnessed
the accident consider the escape OF
the two men little short of miracle.

PREPARING FOR JUBILEE.


Rome. Oct. 14.-There will be great
doings in Rome IN November and De-
cember for the celebration of another
Jubilee of the immaculate Conception
and the holding of marian Con,
gress, !" at which all counties will be
represented. This congress will be
held in the vast Church of the Twelve
Apostles, and in the halls of the Can
celIaria and the Roman Seminary.
There will also be a Marian Exposi.
tion. which will occupy the eight
large halls on the first floor of this
I.ateran Palace. But the great event
of the Jubilee will be the Papal Mass
in st. Peters on December s. and the
solemn crowning by Plus x. of the
mosaic picture of "Our Lady" in the
choir chapel. On December s, 1854,
Immediately after the mass, in which
the Dogma of the Immaculate Con
ception was defined, Pins TX. set q
rich crown on this image. but the
new crown is vastly more precious.
Ii consists of twelve large stars form
ed of hundreds of precious stones, anc
united by an aureole of solid gold.
Either during the function in st.
Peters, or on the same day in the
Vatican, in the presence of the Pope,
Perosi's new cantata will be sung,

Noon Day Fire at Oyster House

A fire broke out shortly after IL
O'Clock. noon, today on the roof Of the
oyster house of James /. johnson.
The roof was seen TO be in a blaze by
the captain and crew of the tug
Hamilton, /" lying at the city dock.
The Hamilton got her fire appa-
ratus ready and went Immediately to
the scene of the fire. She threw a
stream on the roof of Johnson's oys-
ter house and the fire was extinguish-
ed in three minutes The "Hamil-
TOM did quick and effective service
and no fire alarm was turned in.
The little tug saved a big conhagra-
tion. The fire is thought to have
been caused by sparks from a station
airy sawmill in the neighborhood.
These, it is thought, falling on the
roof set it ablaze. 1t is said sawdust
and wood are used as fuel for work
ing the mill, which is said to be a
dangerous practice, as the sparks read
ily ignite the many frame buildings
in this locality. The use of coal
would be safer.

AUDIENCE NOT 50 FEARFUL.
VERY LITTLE WEEPING AT
THE COLONIAL.
The Park Stock CompanY's "East
Lynne" Draws Fair
Size Audience.

EAST Lynne" is familiar to all
theatre g0ers from the time of our
grandmother and it drew a fair
sized audience at the Colonial Theatre
last night. The audience was largely
composed of women whose nature, in
many instances, is to be happy only in
being miserable, aud who like to
weep. There was very little weeping
done last night, however. as the Park
Stock Company had robbed the famous
crying scenes of some of their pathos.
IT was the fourth night the Stock
Company has played here. and they
are getting better acquainted with
an Annapolis audience The company
has been handicapped in its best work
by the illness of the leading woman,
Miss Blair, who has not been able TO
appear except on Monday night. Had
she been cast in the role of Isabelle
last night. the production of East
Lynne would have been much inn
proved While Miss Tucker is better
adaped to the role of an adventures
or French maid. she is lacking in quail
ifications that fit her for character
like last nights play required as its
lead.
Mr.. Fowler again did himself proud
as Archibald Carlyle. But il Mr..
Fowler would only become little
more enthusiastic in his love scenes
and not look and act so much like q
Methodist preacher. he would fill the
bill better. The villain still pursues
poor Mr.. Stiles. 1t seems unfair that
he should have this thrust upon him
every night, and he hasn't dark hair
and black eyes, either. but is blonde.
AS Francis Levison, Mr.. Stiles was
| not quite the villain some Levisons
have been, but he did the best he
could with an unsavory character.
Miss Baird, as Corney Carlyle, was
we'll cast. Miss Baird has the honor
and distinction to possess the best
voice in the cast of female characters.
She is pleasing wherever cast, and
although her parts are not very
strong, she brings out all there is in
them and makes the most OF the char
acter she impersonates. The little
girl who sings the illustrated songs
was cast as Joyce. Her name was down
as miss Park Glad her identity
is revealed. A child never was intend
ed to take this part. but miss Park -
did well. The corneter did double
duty, playing between the acts and
\ going on the stage for the part of the
"officer. He was always in the or
chestra again in time to play the soft,
sweet melodies accompanying the
pathos. Tonight the Park Stock Com
pany will produce Moths In So
ciety,." Saturday matinee "That Bad
Boy Tom Sawyer" and Saturday
night the most thrilling drama of the
repertoire "Tracy, The Outlaw.

PREPARING FOR THE GAME
The Midshipmen Eleven To Meet
Princeton Tomorrow
Afternoon.

The midshipmen are getting ready
for tomorrow game with Princeton
and the coaches are spntting the mid
dies through some stiff practice. The
middies' defense is especially strong
for so early in the season, but their
offensive work is not up to the usual
standard of snappiness which has
characterized their teams of former
years.
The principal fault in the offensive
pIay is the failure of the ck-field
men to help along the runner with
the ball Douglass, the "plebe, =
who is regarded as the find of the
year, is particualrly faulty in this.
Although he carries the leather we'll,
he is not much in the interference
when another man has the ball. The
coaches realize that Princeton has a
set of fast charging backs and they
are devoting great attention to put
ting more strength in the line to
meet the attack. Physically the mid
dies will be in splendid condition to
meet the Tigers, as none of the play
ers has received more than slight in
iuries as vet. The team is also being
drilled in the handling of punts. The
usual big crowd is expected to wit
ness the game tomorrow.
The Naval Academy athletic author
tiles are arranging to have several
more young officers who were. former
stars of navy elevens assigned to duty
here to assist in the coaching work.
Three good men are available and are
expected to arrive here shortly. They
are Ensign Byron A. Long, one OF
the best ends and quarterbacks the
navy ever had; Roger Williams, tackle
of the elevens of 1900 and 1901, and
Passed Midshipman Halsey, fullbacl
of last seasons team. Other officers
who are here assisting Coaches Dash.
iell and Olcott are Lieutenants Nc
Carthy, Bookwalter and Tardy.
