NEW BATTLEsHTP or eO,sOO TONS.
II Congress Approves We WIN Have the
Most Powerful Fighting Ship AnORt.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-If the Naval
Appropriation bill which has been prepared
by the House COMMITTEES on Naval Affairs
becomes a law as it now stands the Bureau
Of Construction and Repair OF the Navy
Department will enter at once upon the
work OF preparing plans for the oonstruo-
ton Of the biggest battleship in the world.
1t will carry twelve Pinch guns, will be OF
20, 500 tons and will have a speed of Fl knot
an hour.
There is no doubt that the vessel will
be the most powerful fighting craft afioat,
much more powerful than the famous
Drea drought, the new British battleship,
which is a source OF continual speculation
among the experts Of the Navy Depart
ment 1t will ave two more Pinch guns
than the Drea drought, as much speed, and
will be 200 ton greater in displacement.
With this additional tonnage, although
two additional big guns will be carried, 1t
will not be necessary 70 sacrifice protection
for the sake of greater armament and speed,
as the experts here claim has been lone
in the case Of the ~Dreadnought. There
will he no intermediate battery on the new
battleship, and the only guns carried, aside
from the twelve 12-inch rifles, will be some
s-inch quick firing guns for repelling torpedo
attack.
The naming OF the new fighting monster
is already under consideration. Some want
the vessel named The Constitution, after
"Old Ironsides,s and Others advocate Re
public. Senator Alice and Congressman
Burton, both Of Delaware, called at the
Navy Depa rtment and at the White House
to-day and asked the President and Secre-
tary Bonsparte to name the new ship Della
ware. Senator Alice M Representative
Burton advanced their claims on the ground
that there has been no vessel named after
Delaware, and that that State ia deserving
OF having a blttleship named after it,
especially as It was the first State to accept
the Constitution. and consequently the
Oldest State in the Union
There are now three States which have
no warships named after them. They are
Della ware, North Dakota and Utah. Unde
an existing law it is required that battle
ships be named after States and cruisers
and smaller vessels after cities. Ii the new
battleship is called the Constitution or the
Republic, it will be niece ssary to have a
special act OF Congress authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to give the We ssel
either name.
The new battleship will nave eight more
Pinch guns than any vessel now aSoat in
the American navy and four more than
the Michigan and South Carolina, two new
vessels which are about to be built. IL will
be $500 tons heavier than any vessel now
built or building by the Navy Department
and will have two knots more speed an
hour.

INyUNCTIONs on RATES ALLOWED
Bailey Declares Hepburn Bill Doesn't DiNest
Railroads OF Legal Recourse.

DALLAS, Tex, March Pointed States
Senator J.. W. Bailey passed through Dallas
to-day on his way to Washington. He
discussed freely his critics who differ with
him on the rate legislation pending in
Congress. OF Sam H. Cowan, the attorney
for the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association n.
he said:
Perhaps the most remarkable state
ment in his interview is where Mr.. Cowan
says. The Hepburn bill amply provides
against judicial suspension Of the CON-
mission rates by injunction and Mr., Bailey's
prohibition Of interlooutory injunction is
unnecessary
MIR. Cowan is probably the only a
in the United States who believes that the
Hepburn bill amply provides against ju-
dicial suspension Of commission rates by
Injunction. Indeed, Republican Senators
who are supporting that bill admit that 1t
does not provide at all against judicial sus-
pension of the commission rates by in
junction.
1T is difficult to understand how an in
telligent man can COMPLAIN at an amend
ment which accords railroads a right when
il is admitted by all that a bill which de-
priyed them Of il would be unconstitutional
and void. I beg to say TO Mr.. Cowan and
all others like him that | wac fighting this
battle for railroad rate regulation when
some OF those who are now talking with 90
much authority about it we're denouncing
the proposition in the most vigorous terms,
and can hardly be swerved from what |
know TO be the right and proper course by
the criticisms of those who claim that the
Hepburn bill as it passed the House amply
provides against judicial suspension OF the
commission rates.

THE PRESIDENT UNSOLICITED.
His stateme nts the Subject OF %ersy
Before q House Committee.

WARRINGTON, March 29.-The state
meuts Of President Roosevelt on the sub
iect Of forbidding the use OF re peating
guns in hunting game in the Territories
were the subject Of controversy to-day
before the House Committee on Territories .
The committee had under consideration
a measure introduced by Representative
Lacey Of Iowa, to prevent the use of auto
matic shotguns in the Territories. G. O.
Shields, president of the League Of Ameri-
can Sportsmen appeared in behalf of the
measure, and Mr.. Bove, an attorney rep
resenting gun manufacturers, opposed it.
Each side sought to show that the President
was with it on the question.
1t developed during the hearing that Mr..
Shields had had q talk with the President
on the subject, and that the President had
expressed approval Of the plan to preserve
game. Mr.. Shields published the inter-
view with the President. Thereupon the
President wrote him twice c~ensuring him
for quoting him and denying the accuracy
Of the statements Mr.. Shields attributed
to him. The President complained be-
cause of the fact that he had told Mr.. Shields
that he might say he was in accord with
the proposition, but warned hin against
quoting him direct. This warning Mr..
Shields did not heed. but quoted III Presi-
dent as making certain statements which
he did not make, emitting some and garbling
Others.
The correspondence with Mr.. Shields
was submitted to the committee to-day,
and as a result there we're several lively
passages between the friends and opponents
of the measure, based upon the Presidents
the dispute by voting to lay the bill on the

that he thought was better and which,
practically ties the hands Of the city au-
thorities. 50 that it will be two years be-
fore they can accomplish anything; After
Mr.. Tompkins's explanation had been
made he moved TO substitute his original
bill for the committees or Agnew's measure,
and his motion was carried.
To day the reprinted bill made its APP
pearance on the second reading calendar,
and when it was reached Mr.. Agnew had
it laid aside. At the end of a long and
tedious session MIR. Agnew asked the chair
il he hadn't ruled that the bill was i'm
properly on the calendar. Mr.. Agnew
said that last week he had moved to re-
consider the vote by which the Tompkins
bill had been substituted for his, and that
that motion lie on the table.
The Speaker held that the motion was
made, although il escaped general notice
at the time. This means that the seaside
colony bill cannot be considered in the
lower House until Mr.. Agnew makes his
motion to reconsider the vote by which the
substitution was made.
Mr.. Agnew says that he will wait until
Senator Saxe's bill passes the Senate and
comes to the Assembly before he will move
in the matter.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Clay
Of Georgia declared to-day unequivocally
in favor Of a court review Of orders made
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
In discussing the rate bill ne said that,
without expressing it in the bill, the right
to the review wa reserved to the parties
under the Constitution of the United States.
He declared that he didn't think there
was a lawyer in the Senate who did not
believe there should be a court review.
Then why not ray so in this bill and end
this discussion and pass the bill?' exclaimed
Mr.. Clay.
MIR. Clay said he believed there ought to
be a provision preventing the courts from
s~uspending the rate pending judicial re-
view, but he did not believe Congress had
the right under tine Constitution to limit
the power Of the court to issue a temporary
injunction.
Il have tried to find authorities, he said,
'to justify my hope that the power TO limit
the courts in that respect exists, but i am
convinced that il does not
Mr.. Clay concluded by declaring that
he favored the passag OF the Hepburn
Rate bill amended so that no i~nterlocutory
order or decree could be issued without
due notice and hearing TO all parties. He
would also amend the bill to prevent cars
riers from engaging in the coal, oil or other
business in competition with the producers
along their lines.
Mr.. Carmack of Tennessee followed
Senator Clay. He declared that the EZRA

FOR SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Gen. Davis Says the Revenue WOuld BE
Enough 10 Take Up $3.50 900 .OOO Bonds.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Senate Q
Committee on ~Interoceanic Canals con-
cluded taking testimony to-day on the
type OF canal and the administrative work,
and is ready now to prepare its report Of
the bill.
Gen. George W. Davis. who was the last
witness, proved to be an ardent champion
of the sea level canal. II the Of
the Panama Canal equals that of the Suez,
and most authorities believe it will exceed
it, the revenue derived therefrom, accord
ing to Gen. Davis's views, will be great
enough to take up the $3.50 900 600 bonds
necessary for the construction OF a sea
level canal.
Gen. Davis expressed the opinion that in
the letters OF the President and Secretary
Taft, transmitting to Congress the report
of the engineers, too little importance has
been attached TO the difficulties in the way
Of a lock canal and too much Importance
has been attached to Instructions in the way
OF a sea level canal.
The witness declared that the plans Of
the sea level canal provided space enough
for the largest ships to pass each other at
any point, and the canal would be wide
enough to meet the needs in this respect
for twenty years, at the end Of which
time the canal could be enlar ged il neces-
Sary.

THE HEARST RECOUNT BILL.
1t VIII Pass the Legislature Next Week
To Open Boxes In Brooklyn.

ALBANY. March 29.-Next week the bill
permitting a recount OF the ballots cast at
New York city election last fall will pass
both houses of the Legislature.
The bill introduced by ASS emblyman
Murphy was on the third reading calendar
in the Assembly to-day for final passage,
but by agreement it went over until Mon
day night. The Democrats as a party
will not oppose the bill. Some will vote
for it, while others will oppose it. A num-
Der of Republicans in the lower house
will also oppose the bill, feeling that it is
poor politics for the Republican party to
interfere in thisD Democratic family fight.
To-day the senate Judiciary Committee,
which had been considering Senator
Raines's recount bill. reported it favorabiy.
Senators Grady and McCarren were re-
corded as dissenting from a favorable
report. Senator Grady also stated to the
Senate that he was opposed to the bill.
For over two hours the Assembly to-day
debated the right Of the Legislature TO
order certain ballot boxes opened. This
was in regard to the contested seat from
the Seventh Kings district, The envelope
containing the void and blank ballots
cast in the Fifty fifth election district of
that Assembly district had beeen deposited
in the ballot box by mistake. There are
eleven OF them. The Assembly Elections
Committee, which is conducting the hear
ings in the contest, wants to count these
ballots. They are immaterial and will
not change the result. as the contest TO
date shows that ~Assemblyman Michael
Grady, Democrat. has been elected.
President Voorhis OF the New York city
election board refused to surrender the
ballot box without an order from the court.
The committee did not a to go 10 the
courts with the matter. but felt that it
had a right to open the boxes il necessary.
In order to be OF the safe side, however,
it asked legislative approval Of what it
proposed doing, To-day Chairman Grattan
OF the committee offered his resolution
directing President Voorhis to deliver the
ballot box to the committee.
The debate on the bill was as TO whether
OF not the Legislature had the right to
order such a procedure, Majority Leader
Moreland and Assemblyman Burnett con
tended that the Legislature had the right
TO decide who il entitled TO a seat in that

Texas Cattle Raisers Memorable the Senate
I'm Favor OF Rate BIll.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Cattle
Raisers' Association Of Texas. assuming to
represent 1000 cattle growers and the
ownership of 1000, 600 cattle, memorialiued
the Senate to-day in behalf of the Hepburn
Rate bill. Accompanying the me mortal
was n letter signed by Judge s. Fl. Cowan,
attorney for the association. who has fig
ured in the rate agitation as an adviser OF
the President.
Judge Cowan recites in his letter that in
1899 the railroads. by concert of action,
began to raise rates on cattle shipments to
points North and Fast, and as a result it
now costs SIS per car more TO ship to these
points from TexaE than it did in 1898 or for
ten years prior to that date,
