Modern Hindu Women.

Within five short years great

Children Of native gentlemen can be

A week ago we saw the daughter
of a man of position walking with
her father on the railway platform
at Lahore. She was dressed in what
seemed like an English gown, had
English shoes on, and when her kus-
band came up left her father and
walked about with him. Her face
was quite uncovered. Let those who
have relatives in Lahore go there
and see for themselves the state OF
things. They will see wives going
out shoulder to shoulder with their.
husbands in the evenings, having said
good by to old restrictions. -,

Railroads Across the Andes.

The prophets predict ere many
years have passed there will be ct
least three railways across the Andes,
one Of them entail, the
others connecting with steamers on
the Amazon or its tributaries.
The line which now runs from va
paraiso to JuncaI is to be extended
through a long tunnel which in Ave
or ten years will be finished, and l.
will connect with an Argentine road
at Mendoza.
The remarkable central Peruvian
road, which rises 5000 feet in fifty
miles from it's terminus and crosses
the eastern range at an elevation OF
1866 feet, will in no great time be
ready to carry passengers to the
Ucayali River; thence there is an
500 mile river journey ere the trav-
eler reaches the head Of navigation
for ocean going vessels. And that
place is 1000 miles from the Atlantic.
Another line further to the north will
greatly shorten the journey.-Chica-

REAR.ADMIRhL CAPPS ANSWERS CRITICS OF BA17LESHlPS
Repair Defends the Freeboard Style OF
American NavyHe Recommends a Change In the
Speed Gained In the DreadnouSht type

Washington, D. C.-Rear-Admiral
Washington Lee Capps, Chief OF the
Bureau of Construction and Repair
of the Navy Department. made an
swer to the critics of the navy at a
hearing before the House Committee
on Naval Affairs. To the minds prac-
tically Of all the members Of the COM
mittee, Admiral Capps' statements
were a complete refutation Of the
charges which have been made
against certain features Of the con-
struction of American battleships.
Admiral Capps displayed no ami
mostly or ill-feeling' toward the
chronic and scientific fault-hnders,
and discussed the subject Of naval ar
chitecture in dispassionate way.
While he riddled the Reuterdahl ar
ticle in McClure's Magazine in its
general features, still he gave credit
to certain criticisms made. In partic-
ular he admitted the justice Of the
criticism of the ammunition hoists
on battleships. He advocated a COM
plete change Of hoists, and asked for
an appropriation Of SITS, 900 to this
end.
The Admiral discussed at length
the question of high free boards and
low free boards on battleships. He
said that the general type Of naval
architecture which is followed by the
Board of Construction is the same as
has been followed since 1889. This
style was adopted by Great Britain
after the subject had been considered
thoroughly and exhaustlvely by the
leading naval architects and experts
of the country, in fact, Of the world.
1t is the style generally followed to-
day by England in the building Of her
biggest ships.
He said that if there was one ma
tion more than any other which by
reason of sea-fghting experience
should be able to distinguish between
the respective value of a high free

In his report Mr.. Bristow criticises
the service Of the Pacific Mail Steam

planning against the action OF the
United States in permitting foreign
lines to use the Isthmian Railway
upon the same terms as American
lines. Mr.. Bristow argues that as
the canal when completed Is open tc
the use OF all nations on equal terms
there should be no discrimination
now against foreign steamships.
Mr.. Bristow says that to perform
the service required on the Pacific
Coast would necessitate the purchase
of from six to nine vessels. HIS esti

a series of rickety ladders offered the

DYNAMITE PLOT
AGAINST OUR FLEET
raIe of Anarchist Conspiracy to
Blow Up BattIeships at Rio.
FRUSTRATED BY THE POLICE
Announcement by Chief at Rio Ja-
neiro That Conspirators Have
FIed-Detectives Searching For
Head Of Alleged Conspiracy.

l1edu VI f1l1cSCu
Rio Janeiro, Brazil-The Bra
lillian police announce they have dis
covered an Anarchistic plot here
having as it's object the destruction
of part of the American fleet now
lying in the harbor.
In an official note sent out by the
Chief of Police he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilian Government received from
Washington and Paris advices that
Anarchists of different nationalities
intended to damage one or several
of the ships of the American fleet.
tThe names and addresses of the
conspirators were indicated by infor-
nation which the police here had
received previously from France
and Germany. The police Of this dis
trict are working with the police of
Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes, and
I am sure every precaution will be
exercised and the most rigorous vigi-
lance observed both on land and at
sea to prevent any injury being
DONE"
The Chief of Police, after having
made this Official statement, said that
he did not feel he should go into
any further details with regard to
the conspiracy, but he authorized the
statement that the plot was organ
lied by one Jean Fedher, who resides
in Petropolis, and he added that the
people of the United States could rest
easy, as all of the conspirators had
taken refuge in the interior.
The conspiracy, while centering in
Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, had
ramifications in Sac Paulo and MI
mas Geraes.
The man Jean Fedher was the
chief conspirator here, but it is un-
derstood foreign Anarchists were
deeply involved in the plot. 1t is be-
lieved Fedher has fled to Sac Paulo,
and members of the police who know
him have been sent to that place for
the purpose of apprehending him.
One of the detectives, who was we'll
acquainted with Fedher, having
served on the police force at Petro-
polls for some time, returned from
that place after having made investi-
cations there, and had long con-.
ference with the Chief Of Police at
Rio Janeiro. The latter gave 1t to
be understood later that the Sac Pau
10 police are on the track Of the arch
conspirator and expect to arrest him
soon.
AS yet the people of Brazil are
ignorant of the details Of the plot
to do injury to the visitors, although
there has been some slight inkling of
the matter. The impression which
the exposure of this plot will create
here will be profound one, because
it is the. first Anarchistic conspiracy
that has ever been known in Brazil.
The police of Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track
of the malefactors, who, they declare,
will not be able to come to Rio ia
