SPANS uP-To.DATE NAVY.
New Warships Ordered and AmerI-
can Improvements Adopted.

can improvements Adopted.
London, Oct 30-Spain is making
rapid progress with the rebuilding Of
her navy. The expenditure of about
$4,000, 600, authorized by the cortes
last year. is being laid out to cover a
construction program of six years. L
comprises eight 14,000-ton battle
ships, nine cruisers and several
smaller vessels. Half the ships must
be built in Spanish yards, and besides
the construction now under way, a
complete reorganization and equip
ment of the arsenals, docks and yards
at FerroL Cadiz and Carthagena has
been undertaken. King Alfonso is m
active partisan of the navy and gives
every encouragement to that branch
of the government,
Among other vessels now building
are the Emperador Carlos V, pro
tected cruiser of 10000 tons, three
belted cruisers, Cardinal Cisneros,
Catalina and Princessa de AstunaS
and the protected cruiser Riena Re.
genta A contract which has just been
signed in London for electrical power
doors of the Reina Regenta, now
nearly completion at Ferrol. shows
that Spain intends to make her new
warships as up-to-date as possible.
Old style bulkhead doors had been
provided for, but when the authorities
| found out about the new method Of
closing water-tight doors by electricity
a change was promptly made. These
power DOORS known as the Long
Arm" system, are the invention of an
American naval officer, and are in.
| stalled on nearly all the new ships Of
the United States Navy. The object
! is to make ships unsuitable by pro
viding this means of closing all their
| important bulkheads in time of emer.
senCy from an electrical central sta,
ton located above docks.
According to the latest information
Spain has in commission 8 second
class battlesnips, armored cruisers
33 second and third hand cruisers,
sea-going gunboats, 80 river gunboats
8 destroyers, 10 torpedo boats and q
miscellaneous vessels. BY the time
the program now being carried out Is
completed, she will have brought hel
navy up to such formidable proper
tins that it will have to be considere,
as an important factor in the balance
of European sea power.

NEW YORK SHOP WINS
Underbids Government Printer Near
ly Enough to Mel a Great Saving
to Uncle Sam-Expensve Expert
ment Finally Leads to the Con-
tract System.

New York, Oct 3O.-An output Of
twenty-seven million postage stamps
per day-one stamp for every third
person in the United States-is
called for by the contract just award
ed to the American Bank Note com
pany. This company printed Uncle
Sans stamps from 1S47 to 1894, then
the costly government bureau of en-
craving and printing was given the
work, and every year since then con-
gress has come to its rescue with a
big extra appropriation to meet the
deficiency incurred in the work Of
turning out the stamps at Washing
ton
For the three years previous to
1906 tenders were asked, but the bid
of the government bureau was purely
formal and was far below what a pri.
vate concern would take the work for
The last congress, however, under
the postofiice appropriation bill, com.
PEELED the bureau of engraving and
printing to change its policy and put
in bid at not less than actual cost
The result was that the Bank Note
company underbd the government
bureau by five and one half cents on
the large size stamps and by a
smaller margin on the ordinary sizes
But so small a difference as one one
hundredth of cent per thousand
will result in a huge saving. especially
in view Of the fact that the govern
ment's bid included no item such as
genral salaries Of administration, in
terest on inve@tmant Of real estate
and sucn similar factors

THIS THE RESULT OF REC EMIT
INVESTIGATION.
SOME RECOMMEN DATI0NS
Findings Refer Mostly to Matters of
Administrative Detsil--Attention
Directed to Little Facts but no
Suggestion of crookedness is
Made.

Recommendation for an additional
appropriation of quarter Of mil.
lion dollars!
That is the most important item
Of the report of the legislators who
applied tinetooth comb of scrutiny
to the university.
The investigation was born in SEN
sationalism, rumor, jealousy and envy.
1t was fortunately placed in the hands
Of men Of ability, common sense and
fairness. Their report shows how
exhaustively and with what earnest
ness they did their work The great
institution has been given a thorough
trial-the result is recommendation
for a gift of $25o,ooo, and for some
changes of administrative character.
The legislative committees report
of the investigation Of the university,
was given out yesterday from the exc.
cutiye Office by order of Governor
Davidson.
The Peoples Institution.
The committee announces that in
making recommendations it takes
the view that the university belongs
to and is supported by the people,
and that they are entitled to all in,
formation concerning it, and that 1t
| ought to be made of the utmost
/ benefit direct to tue people.
Recommendations,
The committee recommends.
Closer contact with professors and
underclassmen.
An appropriation of $25o,ooo so that
the university will not have to Dor
row money TO tide over the months
before its income is available.
A law to keep within the university
budget.
Moderation in proposed policy o.
extension and dormItories until the
university is better off financially.
Giving of Wisconsin students ad
vantage over non-resdents with re
spect to fees.
Placing of instruction over re
search work in the order of import
ance.
New womans gymnasium.
Increase of farm institute func
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Government of university by re
gents instead of by president,
! Regulation of athletics and socia
life to best interests of students.
Relief of president from burden o
non-coIlegiate administrative work.
Against instructors selling thei
pamphlets to students at exhorbtan
J prices.
Great Result Advantageous.
The great result of the investiga
ton is calculated to be to the fnancia
, advantage of the university, for tn
committee recommends that quartz
of million dollars be appropriate
to the institution in addition to 1t
