NIXON RUSH
DESTROYERS.
Russia Wants Thirteen Finished
by First Of the New
Year.

One Of the New York evening pap
ers today contains the following:
Before January |. 1905, lewis Nix.
on will deliver thirteen torpedo boat
destroyers to the Russia government.
These vessels will have been built in
what is believed to be world S record
time. the first of the lot will be
shipped abroad next month.
But five weeks have elapsed since
Mr.. Nixon began the contraction OF
tile feet inEhis shipyard at Perth AM
boy. Four of the littlo war craft are
practically completed.
The destroyers arc built on a CON-
mon plan. They have each q length
over all of ninety feet and are of COM
paratively light draught for harbor
aud river channels Bessemer steel
Is used throughout in their coDstruc
tion.
These thirteen boats are part of
the order for which Mr.. Nixon nego-
tiated when he made his flying trip to
st. Petersburg late last summer. A
largo amount of other nav al work is
in prospect for his firm from the same
source.
It was represented to Mr.. Nixon
that the dire.n need of ths Russian navy
In the far east made it Imperative
that all possible haste be used in rush
ing the work to completion. Night
and day forces, therefore, we're put
into the yards and work has not ceased
for q moment since the keels were
laid.
The completion of the contract by
January will, it is believed, estab-
lish record for emergency work and
greatly enhances the prestige of Amer
ican workmanship.
Mr. Nixon is negotiating now with
theCzar s representatives for contracts
for several battleships and armored
cruisers. Some of these it is proposed
10 build in the United Stntes during
1905.
One of the difficulties in the way of
Mr.. Nixon's contracts is the fact that
the torpedo boat destroyers are
avowedly for use during the present
war with Japan. For several days
Mr.. Nixon has been i'll close consulta
tion with counsel in New York and
Washington.

SLOCUM

Hulk Of Famous Steamer is
Brought TO This Port
After All.

This morning at 8 O'Clock little
tugboat from New York passed
through Staten Island sound with the
hulk of the famous excursion steamer
General Slocum in tow. The tug
took tie hulk to the graveyard of j.
H. Gregory ut the foot of Brighton
avenue, where she will find the last

The News told yesterday of the sale
of the boat, stating Philadelphia

ready been visited by large crowd Of

A LITTLE FIRE
CAUSED MUCH
ALARM TODAY.
Blaze Was in the Kitchen Of
a Hartford Street
Residence.
MADE MUCH SMOKE.

Plenty of smoke but little fire caused
a great deal of excitement at the home
of John Hegemap, III Hartford street,
8 O'Clock this morning.
A fire had been started in the kitch.
EN- stove and as it blazed up, the peo.
pie in the house noticed that smoke
was filling the room. 1t seems that
the flue was stopped up and the SCOT
caught fire.
Mr.. Hegeman ran to box 43, at
Hartford street and Buckingham ave-
nue., aud turned in an alarm. No SOON
er had it sounded than the employees
of the Perth Amboy Terra Gotta
Works had stream ut work, and when
the firemen arrived they found little
for them to do. Washington Hose,
Projection Hook and Ladder Com
pany No. and the Lncolns re-
sponded. In short time they had
men at work chopping into the wood
work and stream from chemical
wagon put out what little fire wns
left.
Washington Hose Company had
plenty of rotten hose and every time
they turned the stream on piece OF
hose would burst,

new PIPE Line
WILL SOON BE
IN OPERATION.
About December Is the Entire
Service Will be Com
pIsied.
START MADE NEXT WEEK

The work on the new twenty four
inch water main on both sides of the
river has now reached stage where
a definite iden can be gained as TO the
date of operation. The entire line
will not be in operation before De-
cember 10, but, with the exception of
the stretch of pipe tetween the river
ana Ridgeway avenue, South Anlboy,
the line will be in operation ty Mon
day or Tuesday of next wuek. This
will be the same rs the plan mapped
out by. the Board of Water Commits
sioners some time ago, when they
were held up from laying the main on
Bridge street, South Amboy, and
were negotiating with Mrs. Fouratt
for the right of way which they now
possess. Had they not been thus
"held up" it is probable that the en-
tire line would have been in opera
tion next week. AS it is, the only
section of sixteen inch pips will be
that between the river and Ridgeway
avenue, abont 1900 feet.
By this arrangement the pressure
in this city is expected to be increased
about twenty Der cent
McGovern Construction 90. expects
to complete its work on this side
by Saturday, and the Grouse
Consti notion Company, it is expected,
will finish the section of 12.0C0 feet,
between the Runyon pumping station
and the standpipe, by Saturday. or
Monday at the latest. The connec-
tions can then be made. Tie water
will then run through the twenty.
four.incb pipe, with the exception of
the section between Ridgeway avenue
md the river.
At the. meeting of tile Water Board.
last night, the plans were talked over.
The board also spoke of the arrear
ages in water rents and an extra effort
will be made to collect the money.
1t amounts to about So, 900. in arrears.
For failure to pay, after certain
time, the water can be shut off. The
matter of the erection of the trestle
and siding at Ranyon, by the Penn
sylvania railroad, also came mp for
discussion. No steps have yet been
taken towards beginning work. The
new map Of the Eagleswood property
was viewed by the board.

storm Sunday the water came in tho
place SO fast that 1t almost flooded it
and tIiar the owner, becoming dis
couraged, had moved away. The
whole house is apparently cleared of
all its contents and it looks. as if Mr..
Fleming was not going to return

APPEALS FROM PHILIPPINES.
Attorney General WiIsley to Argue
Cases Before Supreme Court.

dispatch from San Francisco yesterday
says: L. r. Wilsley. attorney general of
the Philippines, has arrived here, en- route
to Washington to argue several cases be-
fore the Supreme Court, involving constitu-
tonal questions now pending on appeal
from the supreme court of the Philippine
Islands.
The right Of trial by jury in the islands
will be determined by one of them. The act
of Congress giving civil government to the
Philippines does not contain the clause of
the Constitution which guarantees the right
of trial by jury. The position of the gov
eminent of the Philippines. which is to be
represented by Attorney General Wisely
Is that the jury system can only be extend
ed to the archipelago by an act of Con-
gress. While the principle of the question
has been passed upon in the insular cases,
this point has never been before the court.
Another case involves the Philippine gov
eminent act providing that no person shall
be twice placed in Jeopardy o. punishment
for the same Uffense. The Spanish law
which was in existence at the time this act
was passed, gives the government the right
of appeal from judgments of acquittal in
criminal cases.
The supreme court of the Philippines has
held by unanimous decision that the act of
Congress does not repeal the old Spanish
Law.
