TONS NOW
BRITISH BATTLEsuIP TO BE TO-
600 TONS BIGGER THAN THE
DREADNOUGHT.

WASHINGTON August l2.--Nayal
circles are interested in a report mat
the British admiralty is about to lay
down the keel for a giant ship that
will be 30 per cent greater in tonnage
than the redoubtable DreadnoughtI Al
though the main characteristics of wal
vessels built under these secret condi-
tons become known, the British gov
eminent feels that It is amply repaid
for the trouble it takes to build them
secretly by the fact that the British
navy keeps at least two years ahead
of any other navy in point of design,
most desirable consideration in these
days when a battleship is frequently
obsolete in the course of five years
after going into commission.
1t is said that the new snip is to be
of no less than 10000 tons displacement
against 10000 tons of the Dreadnought.
But, aside from the mere matter of
superior size, the design is declared
to include many novelties, based on
the experience of the Dreadnought. One
for instance, is understood to be the
contemplated assembling of three guns
in each turret, so that, if the new ship
is equipped with six turrets, she will
carry no less than eighteen guns in her
main battery

Both classes all along the Atlantic

Congressman along the Atlantic
coast are being urged to fight the prop

seems to have a chance. OF course, il
is not public policy that worries the

FATAL ACCIDENTS
ON GARDEN ISLE
TWO BOYS LOSE THEIR LIVES
IN KOLOA POND AND IRRIGA-
TION DITCH.

KOLOA, August PA sad accident
happened in Koloa last Monday, where
by John Stilje lost his life by drown
ling.
The heavy rain which came down in
the mountains night between sunday
and Monday sent heavy 1reshet down
towards Koloa in the morning. The
irrigation luna sent Johnam Stiles, a
boy of Is to 16 years who was working
under him, up the ditch to open the
water gate in order to give free outlet
to the surplus water. Some time after
a Japanese by the name of Ikeda who
had been out cutting grass informed
the luna that he had found a dead
body in the ditch. Together hey went
to the place and found it in the ditch
which at the time was carrying but lit
tie water.
The body was taken in to koloa
where a coroner's jury held an inquest
over the body and came to the deci-
sion that Johnam Stiles had come to
an accidental death by browning.
The gate which the boy was sent to
open moves between two concrete pill
lars and is raised by a winch situated
above the gate
A plank bridge leads out to the
winch, the chain connecting the winch
with the gate was found to have
broken and the supposition is therefore
that the boy, standing on the bridge
slippery from the nights rain, had en-
deavored to raise the gate which works
quite heavy when an unusual stream
of water is forcing it. The boy probably
lost his footing when the chain sud
denly parted, was thrown against the
masonry work and stunned and in this
condition was drowned by the onrush-
ing water. This supposition agrees
with the conclusion of DR.. Cooper who
found severe bruises on the head and
body of the drowned
The accident is especially sad in
that the boy had just arrived at an
age when he could be of assistance
to his widowed mother who for years
has been struggling to bring her five
children to the age of self support Inc
funeral services, conducted by Rev
Isenberg were very generally attended
by the residents of Koloa.
A second sad accident took place in
Koloa last Thursday whereby Alexan-
der McKeague lost his life.
1t appears that number of boys
were playing round the Maulili pond
on the afternoon. The game was tag
and Alexander was being pursued by
another of the boys when he slipped
and plunged head first into the pond.
His playmates were Mortified to see
that though a good swimmer he didn't
appear and notified the neighbors.
Search was instituted and the body re-
covered about an hour after the acci-
dent. Examination of the body reveal
ed some very ugly bruises about the
head, and tie conclusion is therefore
that he struck stones at the bottom of

Ottawa, Sept. 11.-Japanese Consul

telegram from Morakiwa, of Van

about 1870 last night rioters set
the Japanese primary schools on fire,

to the premier information as it
reached me. The rest 1 leave to the
good sense of the British and Cana
dian governments, who have always
treated US royalty"
London special says: Neither
the colonial office nor foreign office
have received official information re-
garding the riots in Vancouver. Two
long dispatches have been received
at the Japanese consular office, but
these have never been repeated to
the British government. The CO.

not expect any communication from
Ottawa on the subject and while the
event is greatly regretted the inte-
rior officers are sure the matter can
be settled between the Japanese Of
