WANTS THE NAVAL
STATIONS IMPROVED
Rear Admiral Hollyday Makes
Strong Plea for Bet
terments

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Rear Ad-
mira1 r. c. Hollyday. chief of the bu-
reau of yards and docks of the United
States navy, makes a strong plea for
more extensive Improvements at insular
stations and for a higher standard in
the maintenance of home navy yards
in his annual report to the secretary
of the navy.
The estimates for navy yards and
stations recommended to be submitted
TO congress at it's coming session are as
follows:
Public works, including repairs and
preservation, .$9,S11,730; maintenance
yards and docks. $1,000 900; contingent
yards and docks, 100000. Total, SILL
341.730.
The need for additional drydocks is
urged. All of the principal yards, Ad-
miral Hollyday said, should have
structures of sufficient capacity to dock
the largest vessels likely to be built
within the near future.
The estimates recommended flxor the
various navy yards and stations in
clude:
Naval station. Cavite. P. l.. $4,000:
naval station, island of Guam, $4,000;
navy yard. Mare island, Cal, s1776.-
300: naval station. Olongopo, P l..
100000; naval station, Pearl harbor,
including an estimate of 100000 to-
ward the construction of a drydock to
cost $2,000.000. $4,000 900; navy yard.
Puget sound s1,Ss1.O00; naval station,
Tutuila, Samoa, $500.
The need for more civil engineers
and high class technical assistants is
emphasized. and the wisdom OF having
the government purchase dredging
plants, instead Of dredging by contract,
is urged. Increases of pay and rank
for officers and employees are asked
for.

TROOPS ARE ON GUARD
AT GATES OF PEKING
Government Takes Precautions
ary Measures Against the
ReyoIutionarie

PEKING, Nov 22-While all is quiet
in Pe1ing. detachments of troops guard
the city gates and gendarmes are on
duty at the approaches to the foreign
legations. The. government has not
ceased to take precautionary measures
for revolutionaries are spreading all
kinds of reports which might act like
firebrands to the spirit of uneasiness
underlying present conditions in China.
There have been rumors of an in
surrectionary movement in the south,
but this has proed to be only a minor
outbreak among the artillery and cav
airy stationed at Nanking.
Nevertheless it has been though adj
visable to post a guard at each of the
gates of Peking and half companies
of Chinese regulars are now under arms
at these points.
1t was owing to one of these dis
turbances that the edct of November
20 was issued in which it was pointed
out that lawless conspirators had tried
to invade the interior, and all officials
were ordered to arrest and summarily
behead them wherever found.

HIS VIEWS ON TARIFF
Iron Master Asserts Infant In

Protection

NEW YORK, Nov. ga nota Bile
article from Andrew Carnegie, dealing
with the tariff, will appear in the
forthcoming December numbe of the
Century Magazine.
The ironmaster takes the position
that infant industries no longer need
protection; that the steel and other in
dustries have now grown beyond the
need of tariff protection; that duties
on luxuries used by the rich should be
maintained, but that those on manufae-
tured articles should be reduced greatly
or abolished entirely when no longer
needed.
Carnegie's article is entitled MY
Experience With and Views Upon the
Tariff" He first reviews the tariff
movements down to the present Ding
ley law, giving a number of anecdotes.
in which he figured with the leaders of
the various periods.

FORMER QUEEN OF
HAWAII ARRIVES
Comes on Same Ship With Chi
nese Prince, but Receives
None of Ovation
Accompanied by prince Cupid, y
Will Go East for Benefit
of Her Health

Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii was
one of the passengers who arrived
here yesterday on the liner Mongolia,
but none of the display of military
pomp that greeted the big ship was for
her. Monarch and ruler not very long
ago of one of the earth's smallest but
fairest Kingdoms, now one of Uncle
Sans most valued island possessions,
the ex-queen arrived here yesterday, a
fran old woman of whose presence on
board even the majority of her fellow
passengers were not aware. She re-
NAMED in her stateroom until after
most of the passengers had gone ashore
and then she followed, hardly noticed.
The eX-queen is on her way to Wash
ington and is travelling with the Prince
and Princess kalanianiole. The prince,
better known as Prince Cupid, was re-
elected recently to Congress and is now
on his way to the national capital. He
says that the ex-queen may take up
the matter of her claims against the
United States while in Washington. but
that she is making the trip mainly for
the change. She enjoys travelling, and
when at home takes frequent trips be-
tween the islands that make up the
territory over which she once ruled.
EX-Queen Secures Loan
HONOLULU, Nov. Eek Queen Li1i-
uokalani is reported to have negotiated
loan with the Claus Spreckels bank
for $4,000. A part of this is to be used
in paying off other mortgages on prop
erty, and the remainder she will use in
a campaign in congress for her claim
to compensation for the crown lands.
