AT HEARING BEFORE INTER

state commerce hearing before Commits
sioner Prouty was resumed today, D. o.
Clarke, general manager of the Union Pa
cific Coal Company, who is also vice presi-
dent Of the Superior Coal Company, again
took the stand The methods of securing
the mining lands now owned by the Su-
perior Coal Company and the reasons for
securing them were under consideration.
Mr.. Clarke said 1t was the intention to
secure all the valuable coal lands In the
Horse Thief Canon" district, and also TO
secure such other lands as would prevent
any one else getting an outlet to the Union
Pacific railroad from that district.
In answer to questions by the commits
sioner Mr. Clarke named other districts in
territory tributary, to the Union Pacific
railroad in which coal has been found, but
not developed. He said that practically the
only independent coal company operating

"Bryans trip through the south will be

was here last night, being on lecture tour
of this state. 1--WE are real democrats

individual and not paternal government"
Bryan has hurt himself seriously, by put
ting forward his ownership idea, and al
though he has already sidestepped the issue
a little, he has shown his hand in the mat

the matter is very much In doubt. In my
opinion If Hearst wins the governorship of
New York he will loom up as very COM
manding figure in the party. He has big
following.
Mr. Tillman spoke scathingly Of President
Roosevelt for the latter's compromise with
the rate fight already won. He was not
man enough or patriot enough to disregard
party and clinch the matter"
Said the senator: HE was traitor to

T.llman would have Shaw and Bryan de-

TRIO OF GREAT SHIPS
TO BE LAUNCHED IN GREAT
BRITAIN TODAY.

LONDON, September 20.-Three levia-
thans are to launched from various ship
yards in Great Britain today. They are
the H. NJ. s. Shannon, the longest armored
cruiser in the world; the Mauretania. the
new Cunarder. a sister ship and identical to
the turbine steamer Luisitania, and the
White Star Liner Adriatc, which, next to
the two huge Cunarders, is the largest ship
afoat.
The Adriatic will be first of the trio to
take the water. She is the largest vessel
ever built at Belfast. Her displacement
is 10000 TONS She Is 10 feet long, 70 feet
Her gross tonnage is nearly 25,OOO The
general lines Of this vessel are similar to
the Baltic ana she has all the improve
ments seen in the Amerika of the Ham
burg american line. The Adriatic has
nine decks and seven cargo holds, and has
been constructed more for regard Of the
comfort of transatlantic passengers than
for speed
The Adriatic cost So. 75O, OOO
The Shannon Is the longest English ar
mored cruiser afioat, having total length
of 400 feet. Her beam is 7oh feet and her
draught 25 feet. She will carry four D.
inch guns. ten TO guns and th1rty-tWo
small guns. and will have five torpedo
tubes. She has extensive protection and
is really a match for many Of the older
type battleships. Her tonnage is 14,60O
and her contracted speed is twenty-three
knots. The Shannon is the eighth of her
name in the British navy, and the lineal
descendant of The Shannon which met
the Chesapeake. That Shannon was the
second Of the name, the first having been
a frigate of thirty-six guns. lost In a gale
off Cape La Hogue in 1903. The seventh
Shannon was the first belted cruiser ever
built by the British navy and recently went
to the scrap heap.
The Lusitania, sister ship to the Maure-
tania, was launched June at Clyde Bank.
The Mauretania Is the second Of the
Cunard turbine flyers. Her grace. the Dow
ager Duchess of Roxburghe, will perform
the naming ceremony. The vessel was
built by Messrs. Swan, Hunter & Wfgham
Richardson, at Allsend-on-Tyne. The prin-
cipal measurements Of the Mauritania are:
Length, 100 feet: breadth, 50 feet; depth
(molded), 90 feet: gross tonnage, .2OO
tons: disbursement tonnage, 5000: load
draught, 81 feet inches; height of tunnels.
1856 feet; diameter of tunnels, "a feet, and
height Of masts. 216 feet. These figures
convey but the bare idea of the great
size.
The Mauretania was the ancient name
OF the northwestern portion of Africa. that
portion whose littoral marked the gateway
to the Mediterranean, through which in
Roman times passed much of the world s
oversee commerce.
The Mauretania will be propelled by tur-
bine engines of 10000 Indicated horse
power, driving four shafts, each Of which
is fitted with one three-bladed propeller OF
manganese bronze. The outermost shafts
are each connected with a high-pressure
| turbine, the inner shafts being rotated by
the low-pressure turbine.
The Mauretania complies with the admi-
rally requirements as an armed cruiser, and
| will be fitted for an armament Of twelve
| six-inch guns

Mr.. Jones sent this letter to Mr.. Bryan

today It was received, with the greatest in
terest by democratic leaders as likely to
do something toward stopping the govern

who have In the past been loyal supporters
