APPROPRIATION
FOR CRAVING
DOCK
For the Pensacola Navy Yard VIII
Be Unged by Secretary
BOnaparte.

An preparation sufficient to Gov
er the expense of constructing a gray
ing dock sufficiently large to take out
the largest ships of the navy viii be
urged by Secretary B0naparte of the
navy for the Pensacola navy yard. It
IS understood that he will appear be-
fore both the senate and house and
urge that appropriations for docks of
this character be made. TO be located
At various points. Speaking of the
natter the Army and Navy Register
Ct recent date said.
Considerable interest naturally at
taches to the prospect of legislation
providing for dry dock construction.
In all cOnsid eratiOns of congressional
provision Of the public works gelaj-
ms to the military or naval service
there comes prominently into view
the policy dictated undoubtedly by
the necessity of economy in govern
mental expenditures. Perhaps the
dry dock feature will be regarded az
the Capitol as an exception. especial
ly as Secretary BOnaparte viii come
before the House and Senate com
mittCes and urge an appropriation for
three craving docks and another
large floating dock. Each of the
former type of dry dock is intended
for location ct Boston, Pensacola and
BremertOn. while the floating dock
station will be at SOlOmon's Island I'm
Chesapeake Bay where the navigable
features are found to be productive Of
the best results in that direction
Secretary BOnaparte finds upon in
CURRY that other naval stations are
much better equipped with CRY dock
facilities than this country For H.
stance, Great Britain has as many
dry docks at one place as this cOun-
try has available along the entire
seaboard. The United States is par
ucularly weak in this sort of equip
ment and on the Pacific coast. for i'm
stance there will be only two docks
capable of taking in the largest ships
and in time of war such a restriction
of docking facilities would be 2 grave
peril. The secretary Of the navy is
deeply impressed with the necessity
of doing something for the shore
equipment and it is possible that If
economy is insisted upon by the ma
val committeeman in their prepare

$4,000 Spent in Cables One Days
Record for the Peace ENJOYS.
That making peace is an active lite
is illustrated by the daily programme
of work of the peace ENJOYS and their
suites, says the New York Telegram.
Outside the session every one con-
nected with the work has continuous
and taxing occupation with but few
hours for rest and practically none
for recreation.
An idea Of the volume Of cables
which are daily sent to Europe and
the far east may be had from state"
ment that one cable company handled
$4,000 worth of business including
dispatches from both the Russian and
Japanese peacemakers, from it's head
quarters at Portsmouth.
Both sides are very keen in the mat
ter Of their facilities for commun1.
cation. The heavy tax on the local
telephone wires made it impossible
for them to get quick service between
!. the. hotel and their conference rooms
in the navy yard, and complaint was
made, with the result that Secretary
PIERCE had two direct telephone sys-
TENS installed between these points,
one for the Russians and one for the

An Atchison Welcome.

An Atchison woman went to call
on a friend. The friend opened the
door to greet her, but suddenly an aw-
full glare was seen in the eyes Of the
hostess. Instead of asking her friend
to take a seat she made a leap into
the air, with both hands clapping.
Then she made frantic plunge to the
floor, followed by frenzied jump to
the lounge, and another throwing up
of both hands into the air.
This was followed by wild chase
around and around the room over
chairs and tables, with both hands
clapping the air. The guest was
dazed with fright, when suddenly
there was a climax. The hostess
brought her hands violently together.
