NO RESTRICTIONS ON The
CONSTRUCTION OF BOATS
A washington dispatch says:

A washington dispatch says:
The navy department reported TO the
house today that II knew of no reason
why all types of vessels could not DC
built on the Great Lakes. This was in
reply TO resolution asking for the
navy view on that point and Secretary
Meyers opinion is based on the as
sumption that the only obstacles
a term used in tho resolution, are ply
steal ones and that a sufficiently deep
waterway from the seaboard could
eventually be constructed
Secretary Meyer says IL the "ob-
stacles" refer to treaty obligations,
the information at hand indicates
that more than a dozen shipyards on
the Great Lakes have plants and or
CARNATIONS such as to enable them TO
build the bulls and machinery and to
launch naval vessels Of the maximum
size capable OF being taken through
the St. Lawrence canal system.
The breadth OF recent battleships
Is such as would prevent any but ser
ond-class vessels Of limited draft from
entering any Of the dry docks listed
on the great lakes.
THE sizes and types Of vessels tn
could be built complete and launched
on the lakes" says Secretary Meyer
would be limited only by the size of
the building slips depth of water IN

CITIZENS COMMITTEE MEETS
TO TALK OVER ELECTION
Sentiment Favors Leaving Mayor
Frank James Unopposed for
reflection.
CITY CONVENTIONS NEXT WEEK

A meeting OF the city committee OF
the Citizens party was held last eve
ming at which there were twelve menu
beers present The purpose of the meet
ing was TO discuss matters pertaining
10 the coming election. which takes
place one week from next Monday, and
the preliminary caucuses and conven-
tions for which will be held next Tues
day night by the Citizens.
The mayoralty and other Offices were
discussed. and from one of the mem
bers OF the committee il was learned
this morning that the sentiment eN-
pressed last night was practically
nation for the office, leaving Mayor
w. Frank James, who will undoubted-
ly be the Republican candidate again,
unopposed for the office. Two OF those
at the meeting did not express them
selves but it is believed that their sem
timents are not different from those of
the others who favored, allowing Mr..
James To have a second term without
having To make a fight for il. Should
anyone other than Mr. James be nom
mated by the Republicans, which APP
pears improbable, the Citizens would
place a candidate in the field.
For all the other local municipal
offices the Citizens will place a full
ticket in the field. w. ]. Hoffenbach-
er is certain to be the nominee of the
convention for treasurer, several
names are being considered for the
clerkship. and aldermanic and super
visorship candidates will be forthcom-
ing. Arthur +. jacques, supervisor OF
the fourth ward, and John Funkey will
be the third. both of whom were elect
ed on the Citizens ticket last spring,
will be candidates for denomination and
so far no one has been mentioned to
oppose them on the other ticket.
The Citizens and Republican, con-
ventions have both been called for next
Tuesday evening March 20, and both
are scheduled 10 be held at the city
hall. There is not much probability of
any difficulty, as the hours at which
the rival meetings will be held pre-
clude any prospect of trouble. The
Citizens second ward caucus will be
called at 1880. and when this is con-
cluded. the Republicans will hold their
city convention, beginning possibly at
o'clock, as the caucus will not last
more than half an hour. The Repub-
licans can easily complete their BUSH
ness by o'clock, the hour for the Cit
liens convention, as there will be con-
tests for but two offices, clerk and
treasurer. For the former there are
two candidates, A. F. Macdonald and
George Ross. and for the treasurership
there are three, Jay Lanctot, Alphonse
Drouin and Napoleon Ongie. Il
a meeting of the Scandinavian vo-
ters of the fourth ward is to be held to
discuss election matters 1t is to take
place in the Swedish hall on Ethel
avenue and will be called at 1880
o'clock. Addresses will be made by
several speakers and it is understood
that they will use their influence to
have candidate to oppose Richard
Hosking for denomination as alderman
Of the fourth ward.
