LARGEST BATTLESHlp.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF GIGANTIC
"COASTITUTION."

More Destructive and Terrible thar
"Dreadnaught'-OId "Constitutior
to be Saved.
One hundred thousand dollars for
the preservation of the old frigate
Constitution, and $1O,0OO,OOO for the
construction of huge new battleshi4l
of the same name are two provisions
to be included in the naval appropria-
ton bill.
The new Constitution Is to be the
most powerful ship of war atioat. She
will excel the British Dreadnaught
recently launched by King Edward by
as much as the Dreadnaught will eA-
eel anything afloat when she is COM
pleted. Her authorization may be
said to be directly the result Of Togo's S
victory in the Sea of Japan. 1t was
the British naval attache on board
Togo's flagship who hurried home
after that battle and warned the Ad-
miralty of the needs OF the British
navy, and this brought about the con-
struction of the Dreadnaught. Now
we are to follow and eclipse the Brit
ish naval wonder.
The Navy Department has secured
full information concernin- the plans
of the Dreadnaught, and the arrange
ment Of her powerful armament, so
that it is known exactly what umst be
done to beat her.
In order that the department may
not be l. Elmpered in any way in deter
mining upon the plans Of the new Con-
stitution the forthcoming bill will pro-
vide that the Secretary Of the Navy
may use the contingent fund to secure
information from ship-builders the
world over, II he so desires, before
finally accepting the design of the ten
million-dollar pacifier.
Provisions for Ship,
This provision for the new American
sea fighter is in line with the desire
Of the President and the earnest re-
Of Admiral Dewey.
who recently appeared before the
Naval Committee Of the House and
gave spirited talk in support of his
views as to the necessity of con-
structing larger and more powerful
battleships for the American Navy
At the time the naval estimates were
made up last fall, Secretary Bonaparte
was opposed to any such increase, but
he has since come around to the side
of the President, and is now heartily
in favor of the committee proposition.
The naval experts in Washington
have long been convinced that the
16,OOO-ton battle ships Michigan and
South Carolina, authorized by the last
Congress, represent the limit of posi-
bility on displacement not decidedly
greater. To go beyond, in any ap-
preciable degree, the fighting efficiency
of such ships. it will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arma-
ment, but higher speed and greater
steaming radius, to gain which there
must be heavier and more powerful
machinery and greater coal-carrying
capacity.
The displacement of the Dread

that of the Michigan or the South
Carolina. Naval construction eX-

A HOT WATER PIPE.

Some time last week. while stroll
ling down the river front, a prominent
citizen of Fargo stumbled upon what
might have been bonanza for Fargo.
1t was not gold, nor silver, nor prec-
ious metal. nor party of 500 engi-
neers, surveying for the new depot in
that city, but it proved to be hot water.
Aqua was detected bubbling up
through the ground and touching his
hand to it.. the discoverer found it to
be hot. Overjoyed he hurried up Broad
way and related his experience to
Mayor Johnson who Immediately be-
came greatly interested
The first thing to be done of course
was to get possession of the land and
this before the discovery became gen.
orally known for property would ad-
vance, as certainly it did, for the secret
leaked out and real estate of all kinds
went up like sky-rockets.
The hot water spring was ex-
amined and arrangements made to
have the water analysed, for certainly
it must contain some medicinal quail
fties. The analysis never was made
however, for upon further investiga-
ton the spring proved to be nothing
but the outlet of the exhaust pipe
from the boiler room of the car shops
The water is carried for several
hundred feet through this underground
pipe and is still quite hot when it
raises to the surface.

IMPORTANT COTTON CONFERENCE
Washington Scene Of Big Gathering Of
Planters.

Associated Press to The Evening Times
Washington, D. c.. May Cotton
growers, manufacturers and traders
thronged the assembly room OF the
New Willard hotel today at the open
ing of what is probably the most i'm
portant cotton conference ever held
in this country. Those in attendance
represented the cotton growers of the
South, the manufacturers of this coun-
try and Europe and the cotton en-
changes of New York, New Orleans
and Liverpool. Representatives of the
Department OF agriculture also were
present. The purpose of the confer
ence, which will be in session two
days, is to bring about closer rela-
lions between the producers and spin
ners and at the same time to confer
on matters of mutual interest cover
ing every department of cotton grow
ing and marketing and manufacturing.
Cotton production was the general
topic of consideration at the initial
session this morning. Under this head
the conference discussed improved
methods of cultivation. cost of produc-
ton, possibilities of acreage and flu
ture yield, and the worlds consrmp-
tion and needs. Ginning, baling, tare,
transportation and other matters re-
lating to the handling of cotton were
discussed ut the afternoon session.

HOTELS LOST HEAVILY.
More Hotels Destroyed in San Fran.
cisco Disaster Than in
Chicago Fire.

The hotel loss through earthquake
and fire in San Francisco a few days
ago dwarfs into significance any that
ever befell city, in the old or new
world, in any age or history. The
destruction of Lisbon, Pompeii, of Her.
eulaneum, which were completely de-
stroyed or wiped off the face of the
earth, witnessed no humiliation of
million-dollar hotels. The great Chi
cago fire, which startled the known
world and which up to few days ago
has seen no parallel in history, swept
away all the hotels, but even in that
confiagration the entire fire loss was
only about half of that suffered by the
Golden Gate city, while in the hotel
loss there is no comparison.
In Chicago eleven large hotels and
number of smaller hostelries went
up in smobe and melted into ashes.
The only One of these that stood as
high as 100000 was the fremont, SO
costly that it was called COUGHS Fol-
ly.' II each one of the Chicago hotel
buildings represented an outlay of
$150,O0O, the entire hotel loss in the
great fire, exclusive of furniture and
equipment, would be far less than
that caused through the destruction
of the Palace or the St. Francis or
Fairmont at San Francisco.
In Chicago at the time of the fire,
family hotels were unknown; in San
Francisco thirty large, beautiful struc-
lures were sacrificed, representing
many millions of dollars. If compari-
sons were made between the furnish
ings and equipment of the hotels de-
stroyed it is said the figures would be
equally significant

THE SHOW LAST NIGHT

large and appreciative audienc
was out last night to greet May Hill
man and her company In Flood Tide
the first play OF weeks engagement
to be played by this company.
There was enough OF villiany II
Flood Tide to satisfy the most blood.
thirsty. and enough OF the melo
dramatic to quench the longing OF
the most ardent follower OF the blood
and thunder side OF dramatic art.
The burning OF the light house in
the storm, and the struggle OF blind
Tom Long with the villiannous DIR.
Charleton surpass anything In the
melodramatic line that has been seen
at the Elks Opera House this season.
The villiany OF DR.. Carleton was
the most consummate villiany that
could be imagined.
The vaudeville between the acts
was very acceptable to the audience
and served I'm all probability to re-
duce the lumber of persons at the
place where the bell rings before the
curtain rises.
The large crowd was thoroughly
pleased with the performance and
showed it's appreciation by the most
long continued applause OF each and
every one OF the climaxes OF the play
and there were many.
Judging from last night the clever
little actress, May Hillman, will draw
large crowds each night during the
entire week.
