Dreadnought Claims Disputed.

AS close observer Of the development
Of the modern navies Mr.. Pull
sifer believes that the ships OF
the dreadnought type have not
proved their superiority over the. less
expensive fighting craft built few years
ago. The United States ought to go
slow, he suggests, before rushing to
built battleships Of larger and yet larger
size.

knowledge of shipbuilding." he said yes

as to the best type of ship yet provided

pressed last year, and that Is l believe it

better ship than the Michigan and the

II notice that Sir William White, a
noted naval architect Of Great Britain
who for many years planned her naval
ships, in a speech in New York makes
favorable reference to the Michigan class,
saying that Three ships armed on the
Michigan plan could concentrate the fire
of twenty-four 12-inch guns as efficiently
on a selected position in the enemy's
formation as could be done by two ships
Of the Arkansas class (26,OOO tons) with
an equal number of guns. Indeed, under
certain conditions, the three ships might
have an advantage
when one considers that the larger
ship presents a much larger continuous
target and is less wieldy than the small
er ship and would be unable to enter the
harbors which would accommodate the
smaller ship. and the increased difficulty
in docking these larger ships, as 1t ap-
pears to impress some noted naval
officers. we should slow up some in this

soldiers are now at Carreta and the in
surrectos at Santa Isabel, forty miles
apart. The insurrectos are within few
miles of Pedernales, where the Associated
Press correspondent left them after q
three-day trip with them.
The correspondent counted 100 perfectly
armed and equipped insurrectos in the
streets of Ranch yesterday. An equal
number were reported scouting. In none
of the towns along the border were any
n-combatants to be seen, except young
boys and very old men.
Insurrectos in this state regard them
selves as the spark which will set the
whole country on fire and all are fully
aware that no other part Of Mexico is in
arms. The men declare they are not
fighting to put Francisco Madero in Of
fee, but for an honest ballot and to save
the country from possible anarchy as the
result Of the present system of oppres-
sion.
The insurrectos gained control Of Guer-
zero. which is quite an American town,
without bloodshed before Saturday. The
federal force there numbers only sixty.
Some OF these deserted, they say. and
found jobs in the mines while others
joined the insurrectos.

the way in which Mr.. Alexander describ-
ed the bill. This shows that public bills

and without any necessity for resorting

lively essential to the passage Of such

Several amendments were offered by

Over Interstate Commercs Commission
 Decisions-FaII in Prices.

New York. June 2g-Speculatfve sen- timent took violent alarm tofaay over the decisions announced by the inter state commerce commission in Q num- Der of important rate cases affecting portions of the traffic of practically all the great transcontinental railroad lines. The terms in which the objec- tions to these rates had been contest ed by the railroad officials themselves in the course of the hearings in Wash ington and-the disastrous consequen- ces predicted by them in the event of the objections being sustained came back to confront them today while the prices of their company shares were crunlbling in demoraIization. The -market was in no condition to with stand the torrent of selling orders which was let loose by this news and the fall in prices proceeded with a rush.
 The realization of the force of the news seemed to come but gradually and tf< market was in a mood of com parative tranquility during the morn ing and for some time after the news agencies had circulated the bulletins of the interstate commerce commission decisions The waiting period was af- fordins opportunity to gauge the poor apsorptive power of the market as well as for the growth-of apprecia- ton of the comprehensive scope of the decisions The powerful bear party which has taken an organized form in the recent speculation gathered courage from the demonstration of the underlying weakness of the mar ket and took. every advantage of the situa ton. This demonstration came from the quick subsistence of demand for stocks when any striking tendency towards recovery of prices became manifest.
 These periodical recoveries during the morning were consistent with more hopeful feeling that was preva- lent about crop conditions.
 The market closed with a secondary effective rally in progress.

JOHNSON CLEVER,
 JEFFRIES HAS THE PUNCH
Nevada Governor Sizes Up the Two
 Fighters.

Reno, June 29.-Ths is how Gov ernor Dickerson compares Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson, after seeing both fighters work out.
 Jack Johnson. in my opinion, is a faster man than Jim Jeffries. but don't think there is the power behind his blows that lies behind Jeffries' punch. He is c1everer than Jeffries apparently, and I think his defense is harder to penetrate than that of the former champion
 .It is safe to say I think, that Johnson will hit Jeffrtes more times than Jeffries hits him, but his blows will not have the same telling effect I would not care to venture a definite opinion about the result of the fight, because really know nothing of these contests. TNk only ring contest that I ever witnessed was the fight between Joe Cans and Jimmie Britt, at San Francisco, three years ago"
