NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR
 REPLIES ID CRITICS
The Plans of the New Battleships the
 Best That Could Be Agreed Upon.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The annual re- port of w. T. Capps, chief constructor of the navy is largely devoted to a re- view of the controversy over the plans of the battleships North Dakota and Delaware.
 Admiral Capps disposes of various phases of the criticisms made of the plans, by declaring that the recommen- dations for changes made by the New port conference related only to minor details over which there naturally would be differences of opinion and improvement from time to time.
 Estimates for the construction and repair of vessels at the navy yards and at foreign stations, will amount to SS.SfO,7l3 and increase of SS40.713 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year. The amount estimated for con- struction and machinery for the new vessels authorized by congress is S14,- 540,790. the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year being S12,S32,- 962.
 A strong recommendation is made in favor of limiting the extent which old vessels are modernized. He believes 1t will be more advantageous to expend the money in the construction of ves- sels of the latest design.

NEED OF PROTECTION FOR WOOL INDUSTRY
Ohio Growers Represented at Tariff
 Hearing by General GrosVenor.

Washington, Dec 2.-During the consideration of the tariff on wool. wooden manufactures and carpets. which was begun by the house ways and means committee at today's hear ing, Charles H. Grosvenor, former congressman from Ohio. appeared for the wool growers of Ohio.
 You cannot reduce the duty on wool as it stands without destroying the industry" he told the committed He added that the industry is now fairly profitable.
 General Grosvenor said that under the low rate of duty on wool, imposed by the Wilson bill. the number of sheep raised in one county in Ohio decreased from 153,O0O to 42,0e0 with in four years.
 Representative Clark of Missouri secured an admission from General Grosvenor that this reduction was, in part, due to the increased value of land in Ohio
 ArchbOld Moore a woolgrower of West Virginia and H. J. Johnson, rep resenting the Idaho wool growers, sopke against a reduction of the tariff. William Whitman of Boston, represent ing the National Wool Manufacturers and the American Association of Wool en and Wodsted Manufacturers spoke against any tariff agitation as being harmful in effect
 Do you believe more than 100 per cent of duty is necessary to protect any manufacturer of woolens?" asked Mir. Crumpacker. MT. Whitman again

 Mir. Clark interrogated Mir Whitman as to the part he played in framing the Wilson and Dingley tariff bills, secur- ing an admission that Whitman had been very active in suggesting the wording of various paragraphs.

maintained their relative positions not withstanding the six fold total increase. Copper advanced from eighth to third place and gold dropped from third po- sitiop to sixth: lead from the ninth to tenth, and silver to just behind lead. The newcomers in the 1907 list as con- trasted with that of 1880 are clay pro- ducts, cement and natural gas.
 No state or section appears to have a monopoly of the mineral industry. While Pennsylvania with total mineral products, of nearly one-third those of the whole country leads in coal. cement and natural gas by large margins, a northern state, Minnesota, leads in iron ore, Arizona in copper. Ohio in clay Oklahoma in petroleum; Col orado in both gold and silver and Mis- souri in both lead and zine"
 One of the important addresses of the evening was delivered by A. II. Brooks, chief of the Alaskan division of the United States geological survey.

THE SUBJECT oF INQUIRY
Attorney Kellogg Reminds
 MT. Archbold That Rogers Testified That The Com pany Had Nearly All of it
 Before The Trust Formed.

New York, Dec. 2.-When the cross examination of John D. Archbold was resumed in the Standard oil suit to- day, he was asked about the percent age of business done by the Standard interests in 1879, but he said he could only state that it was large.
 Mir. Kellogg called the attention of the witness to the evidence given sev- eral years ago by H. H. Rogers that in 1879 the Standard and its affiliated interests produced 90 to 95 per cent of the refined oil manufactured.
 If you had that amount of pro- duction do you still say, as was stat ed by you yesterday, that you ac- quired plants on the seaboard to in crease your volume of business?"
 T cannot say what percentage of business we were doing" was the re- ply.
 Mir. Kellogg was seeking to show that in reality the Standard did not purchase certain seaboard refineries to increase the Standards business. but to destroy competition. The gov ernment prosecutor piled the witness with many questions to develop this contention.

A qAGABOND ADVENTURER
"This" Said Princess de Sag ans Counsel With Bitter Sarcasm "is The Man Who
 Wants His Children Edu- cated Like a de Castillane."

Paris. Dec. 2-The suit brought by Count Boni de Castellane against the Princess de Sagan. his former wife, who was formerly Miss Anna Gould. for the custody of his three children, was continued today. In the hearing last week counsel for the count declared that the moral atmos- phere of the de Sagan household was harmful to children and therefore they should be placed in the custody of the Marquise de Castellane, the counts mother
 The court room today was more crowded than last week. M. Clemen- ceau in presenting the princess side, emphasized the fact that the courts of France had always decided that a second marriage did not affect the rights of parents with regard to their children, even in cases where the sec ond marriage was with an alleged ac- complice in adultery.
 NJ. Clemenceau then summed up the contentious of the princess as follows: The count formally declared that he would withdraw his suit if the prin- cess separated from her husband. The facts that the count had offered to prove were irrelevant, and even if they were established they had no bearing upon the children.
 Furthermore these allegations were denied by the princess. The count was inspired less by solicitude for the welfare of his children than by per sonal hatred and financial considera- tions. The princess. since her mar riage to her present husband, had fulfilled in every way her duty to- ward her children. She had not from their father. On the other hand the count had committed an unpar- donable fault in bringing out the present scandal to the children.
 Continuing, NJ. Clemenceau an nounced that the princess had for mally joined with her husband in the against the count num- bered from four to twenty inclusive. These deal with de Sagan's allega- tions that the count. in order to pre- vent the marriage of Madame Gould with Prince de Sagan caused forged letters and documents purporting to have been signed by de Sagan to be sent to Mime. Gould. These papers consisted of usurers' notes, payable on the day the prince was married to Mime. Gould and three letters alleged to have been written by de Sagan to his mistress in which he ridiculpd Mme. Gould and spoke in scurrillous terms of her.

Port Au Prince, Dec. 2.-President Nord Alexis has been deposed and is now safe on board the French training ship Duguay Trouin and Port Au Prince is in the hands of the revOlu- tionists. General Antonio Simon, lead CT of the insurgents is marching up the peninsula with an army of 5000 and a new president, General Legitime has been proclaimed.
 At the last moment President Alexis yielded. to the urging of those about him and decided to take refuge aboard the French warship. At precisely o'clock q salute of twenty-one guns announced his departure from the palace. Thousands gathered there early in the day and surged about the entrance threatening to tear down the walls and to seize the president and his loyal followers. As the hours pass ed the mob became infuriated shouting for him to leave the palace.
 The mob was armed and men and women, beside themselves with rage. they heaped curses on the head of the aged man who had expressed a determ- inatiOn to fight to the last. So serious
 
 ister, NJ. Carteron and other foreign representative together with members of a special committee forced them selves upon the president. who finally consented to withdraw. Shouts greet ed him as he stepped from the pre- cincts of the palace and into a car riage.
 NJ. Carteron, holding the French tri- colOred banner, sat beside him and the minister threw the folds of the flag over the shoulders of the deposed president to protect him.
 An immense crowd of men and women had assembled at the wharf and the arrival of the presidential carriage escorted by a battalion of infantry and a squadron of cavalry under command of General Hippolyte was the signal for tumult and riot
 All along the route people who lined the streets shouted and jeered and cursed the president, but when the landing stage was reached the mob lost all restraint. The scene was tragic and shameful. Infuriated wo- men broke through the cordon of troops and shrieked the coarsest in- suits in the very face of the presi- dent. who strove brayely to appear

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
For Legislation to be Enact ed Within The Next Sixty Days. A Showing of The
 Rapidly Increasing Devel- opment of Mineral Wealth

PIttsburg, Dec. 2.-What is expected to prove the most important convention eyer hrid by the American Mining Con gress met in this city today While the sessions Were of a routine nature, con- siderable interesting work was accomp- hshed. It was clearly shown that with in sixty days congress will take steps to establish a bureau of mines in the department of the interior: that a plan will be advanced to protect the public from mining frauds: that renewed eff >orts will be made to prevent the great
