FOR TWO new BATTLESHIPS
NAVAL CONSTRUCTION AND EN-
GINEERS ARE ENGAGED ON
THE PLANS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
naval constructors and the engineering
of the navy department are
engaged on the plans and specifications
for the two 16,O00-ton battleships au-
thorized at the last session of con-
gress. The designers are proceeding
with their work on the theory that
congress will not be asked to increase
the displacement. OF course, naval
opinion is in agreement upon changes
Of such displacement increase, but
there are other considerations which
evidently control and which have led
to the conclusion that it is just as
we'll to provide for the ships of
smaller size. Accordingly, the various
bureaus of the navy department are
engaged in preparing the estimates OF
weights which are TO be credited to
each bureau in the completed vessels
1t will be some weeks, of course, be-
fore proposals will be invited by the
navy department. In the meantime the

CHANGE IS NOT POLITICAL
so SAYS BOARD OF CONTROL IN
WATSON'S REMOVAL
AFFAIR,

The state board of control has is
sued the following statement, concern
ing the change Of superintendent of
the school for the deaf and blind.
THE matter of the change Of SUI
perintendents has been in contempla-
ton for several months and so far as
the board is concerned is without any
personal or political feeling whatever.
The board has acted as it believed to
be for the best interests of the school,
carrying out the policy that every en-
ploye of the state should perform
reasonable amount of service for the
salary received Prof. Watson for a
long time mas acted in either the ca
pacity of teacher or accountant at the
institution.
1.-The new superintendent, Thomas c.
Clarke, is about As years of age, and
has spent the last twenty-five years of
his life as an instructor in like lnsti-
tutions and as superintendent. His
wife also is a graduated teacher with
much experience along the special
lines required by the school. Alto
gether they will perform the services
heretofore performed by two teachers
and superintendent and his wife.
LAS to political significance, we
would say that we do not even know
the political affiliation of Prof. Clarke,
nor do We care. All we desire in the
that the pupils receive the best pos
sible advantages for an education and
date"

DUNRAVEN FOR REVOLUTION.
Makes Striking Appeal in Reply to
Lord Baltimore.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Lord Dunraven
makes a striking appeal in favor OF an
Irish revolution in answer to Lord
Baltimore and other cities. He says
the danger to the union lies in blind
refusal to substitute sound, decentral-
lied, modern methods for unsound
antiquated, centralized methods.
Revolution would purge the whole
of grievances and abuses which, in the
eyes of the vast majority Of the Irish
people at home and abroad, have made
the legislative union between Great
Britain and Ireland synonymous with
national degradation and decay.

shipbuilders are evincing the keenest
interest in the requirements of the de-
partment. The principal departure from
past designs Of ships of this type is
in the machinery 1t is under consid-
Grafton, whether or not one of the
ships shall be equipped with turbine
power instead Of the ordinary recipro
eating engines. The result of the tests
with turbine steamers have been so
favorable, that a strong sentiment in
favor Of that method of propulsion has
developed among progressive experts.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN ALL CITIES
AND PENSIONS FOR ALL
VETERANS.
West Virginia Senator Will Introduce
Two Bills in Senate With That
View.

1t might reasonably be presumed,
from two bills he has introduced, that
Senator Scott of West Virginia has
presidential aspirations. The junior
senator from West Virginia would
erect public building in every city
and town in the United States with a
population of 5000 or over; he would
give pension of $12 month to every
man who served in the federal army
or navy during the civil war. If these
two bills will not make Senator Scott
solid with the veterans in his own state
certainly be exacting, says the report
that comes from Washington, D. C.
Senator Scott is entirely sincere in
the advocacy of these two bills; they
are not introduced merely as a bid for
popularity. The senator believes they
should pass, regardless of the cost, and
ne is by no means discouraged be-
cause of the shadow that hangs over
his two pet bills. But he is fighting a
hopeless cause; ne is striving to attain
the unattainable; for congress will not
adopt any such liberal public building
policy, and it will not at this time
adopt a service pension law, although
the time will probably come when sue
a law will be enacted, and it may be
Scott.

Scott Heads the Committee.

For years it has been the ambition of
Senator Scott to become chairman of
the committee on public buildings and
grounds. His ambition was realized
this winter, and Re forthwith intro
duced his omnibus public building bill,
which he proposes to urge for favorable
consideration. While it is a piece of
impossible legislation, it is a bill which
many senators would Ike to pass but
they dare not A public building in
every city of 5000 or more would ma
terially increase the popularity of
every man who voted for such a bill,
especially in the cities benefited under
such a law; but there is another ele-
ment to be reckoned with, the vast
country vote, which would not benefit
under this law, an element which
might see great danger behind such a
liberal expenditure of government
money, and this element, combined
with the business sense of most of the
lawmakers, will deter them from acting
favorably upon the Scott bill.

AT Good Roads Conference in Middle

held in the town hall last evening and
as a result a convention will be held

J., r. Weeks was chosen chairman and

The proposition OF the national good
roads association was outlined by We'll
lington +. Loucks Of st Louis.
Statistics show, he said, that 95 per
cent of the output of the forests and
farm have to be hauled 12 miles to
flnd a market In Vermont the average
haule is about six miles, which costs
good deal more than 25 cents a ton
per mile. With good roads the ex-
pense would be cut down and market.
ing would be made a pleasure instead
Of wallow through mud for about
nine months ia the year.

tons and 400 pounds Of baled hay To
market with one horse and when told
that it would take four horses to haul
the same load through country roads
Ia America, be called ii rich mans
country He could not afford To use
both horses for the purpose Of market
ing, because 1t WIS necessary for one
horse to remain in the field.
Mr.. Loucks said that the roads IN
this village needed finishing and that
we were spending money without per-
manent result which should be expend
ed in building permanent roads which
would last fur years.
