Washington. April 16.-By a vote
of 1873 to SO the house of representa-
tives Yesterday decided against the
presidents program for -four battle
ships and adhered to the recOmmen-
dation of its committee on naval af-
fairs for two vessels of that type.
This roult was reached after a debate
which lasted for four hours and was
received with applause. The entire
session was devoted to a considera-
ton Of the nav increase provision of
the naval appropriation bill. AS this
increase was provided in the last sec
ton OF the bill the measure was prac-
tically concluded with the disposition
of the provision.
Longworth Gets into 1t.
Mr.. Longworth of Ohio in a vigor-
Gus speech told the house that the
president was more interested in this
increase than in any other question
before congress, and as practically all
OF them had in the last election de,
clared that they had supported him
this was a good opportunity to live up
to that declaration.
An amendment by Mr.. Tawney to
reduce the number of new battleships
to one was voted down by an ever
more decided majority than was Mr.,
Hobson's proposition for an increase
to four.
The senate devoted it's entire time
Yesterday to considering bills on the
calendar. Among the measures pass
ed was one s~uppressing betting on
races and games of various kinds in
the District of Columbia.

SAN PEDRO, Calf, June 5.-A ter rible accident occurred on board the armed cruiser Tennessee at eleven.eiRht this morning. While the ship was steaming nineteen knots on a speed trial off Point Hueneme, Cal, a steam pipe in a starboard engine room burst under 355 pound pressure, killing four men and injuring ten others, all of the men in the compartment at the time.
 The explosion, the cause of which is unknown, occurred only few minutes after Admiral Sebree, Captain T. B. Howard, and Chief Enineer Robertso,, left the engine room on tour of in. spection.
 The four men were killed instantly. Two more are expected to die at any moment.
 The tube, which was four inches in diameter, enclosed with water inside the boiler, blew out, driving n torrent of scalding team, coal dust, cindcrs and hot asnes out through the ash pit, show. ering fourteen half naked men. \ blast of steam from the ventIlator' told those on the main deck of the nc. eident. Lieutenant Commander Robin son, navigator, instantly sounded a general alarm, dropping twenty lines ot hose ready for use in case of fire. With. in the doomed fire room, No. 3, which is amidship on the starboard side, one of the sixteen enclosed fire compart' ments,'the surviving seamen were fight ing for life.
 Reinhold and Meek died at theii posts. Boggs and Wood erawled O. were dragged into the adjoining fir room, No. II, and died quickly. Tn, surviving seamen, all of whom received some injuries, acted with the utmos' heroism in aiding their less fortunate mates.

Pipe Buried in Tree Trunk.

The other day George Ranney and
George Brann of Passadumkeag were
saving into stovewood a large elm tree
that stood near the old hotel, when their
saw encountered something hard in the
cut. They kept saving wood, however,
until they had the stick cut off, and then
investigated and found clay pipe i'm
bedded in the very center of the tree.
The pipe was in a perfect state of pres
ervation and filled with tobacco, the
same as when it was left there. Expla-
nations were rife as to the presence of
the pipe in the center of the tree, but
the most plausible one was given by one
of the old residents. He said that some
forty years ago some devil driver got
after yoke of oxen in that town and
ran over this tree, and, it being small
at that time, bent it to the ground.
About this time he thinks that some one
used the bent tree for a pipe rack and
then forgot to remove the pipe, and the
tree after many years grew around the
pipe until it was in the very center Of
the tree-Kennebec Journal.

APPLETON, Wis, May 26-[Spe-
ial.]-The first testimony in the case OF
A. w. Priest, a wealthy paper manu-
facturer, against the city Of Appleton
and Lawrence university, was taken here
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Priest declares
that there is more than a million dollars
worth of taxable property in this city
that is escaping taxation, and he started
test case to determine whether a col
lege is exempt from taxation on property
not directly used for educational pur-
poses. He alleges that a number of the
larger institutions of this city are being
grossly undertaxed and asks that as
sessments on these be raised. He de-
mands an entire reassessment of the city
OF Appleton. The case will be watched
with interest and the outcome will have
widespread interest, as it bears upon
college property.
