Mr.. POSI- CONFERS With
ASSISTANT SECRE larry
Reports Say Congress viii Consider
This Matter Along With New Ma
val Bill Authorizing Construction OF
Additional vesse,s--Rereai OF
Eiaht-tiour Clause Suggested.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer yes
terday submitted TO the house COM
I,ittee on naval affairs the PROPOSE
ton of the Newport News Shipbuild'
ing e Dry Dock Company to build the
27,0OO.ton battleship New York Tor
about the same figure that IL has OF
fered 10 build her sistership, 'ne
Texas. The secretary also has advis-
ed the committee that If the New
York Is built at the Brooklyn navy
yard an additional S1,500,O00 VIII be
necessary for her construction. max
ing the total cost for her hull ana
machinery $7.500,000 as against cost
OF S5,760.O0O for the hull and ma
chinery OF the Texas.
Reports from Washington say that
the committee of congress Will con-
slider this matter along with the new
naval Hill for this year and will re-
port the facts submitted by the sec
retady TO congress with the naval Dill
authorizing the construction OF two
additional dreadnaughts. This VIII
be done. IL is said. so that congress
NAV make a comparison of the cost
of priyatebuilt and eovernmentbuiit
ba,tlesaips before the bill authorizing
two more ships is passed. II Is NOT
thought likely that congress win a'l-
thcrlze either one OF the two new
ships TO be built in q navy yard.
Confer With Assistant Secretary.
General Manager Post and Superin-
teudent of Hull Construction Fergu
son arrived at Washington yesterday
morning and were in conference with
Assistant Secretary Winthrop and
other officials of the navy department
relative TO the offer of the yard to
build the New York. They were IN
formed by the assistant secretary
that il would require an act OF con-
gress to authorize the building OF the
New York by private contractor.
Action By congress in the battleship
matter is anxiously awaited here. The
proposition of the local yard to build
both the New York and Texas was
enc OF the principal topics for dis
cussion Yesterday. Various views on
the matter are expressed by various
neople, but the consensus OF opinion
among the informed Is that even II
congress DEGREES that the New York
shall DC built by n private yard bids
for her construction must be invited.
Mere Waste Of Time.
There are some who contend that
this VIII be merely a waste OF time,
as the other yards have refuses to
bid on the Texas under tie eight
hour proviso and there Is no reason
10 believe that they will bid on the
New York. These people say that
since The shipyard came TO the relief
OF the navy department and agreed
10 save the government nearly $z.ooo.-
COO on the batsleship Il would be no
more than right that this yard should
he allowed to build the ship. Nor.a
OF the other yards stepped into the
breech. they say, and that Is taken
as an indication that they 40 not

The locals played fine ball in the first

let down and the Soldiers ran up nine
points, while the Reserves made only
eleven points.
It was apparent from the start that
the Fort quintet was outciassed. but

Y. M. L. A. Basketball Team
Loses TO Brambleton.
GAME FAST AND ROUGH
Fives Are Nearer Evenly Matched
Than Any Two Seen Here-Squab-
bic at Finish over Question Of
Time-complaints Against Referee.

Brambleions fast and rough-piay-
Ing basketball team got the decision
over the quintet OF the Young Mems
Christian Association last night in
the association gymnasium by score
OF 38 TO 81 In an intensely exciting
contest. To the spectators 1t looked
as though the locals would have won
the game had the visitors not been
given all kinds OF favors by Referee
Mitchell, of Norfolk. His decisions
on fouls in the closing half seemed
TO be far of color and they decided
the battle.
There was squabble as to whether
or not time was up in the second
half Cfficial Timer Cameron said that
there were three minutes more OF
play, but the assistant timer, q boy
from Brambleton, claimed that time
was up. Referee Mitchell took the
word of the youth and called the
game, giving the victory TO Bramble-
ton.
Teams Evenly Matched.
The Brambleton and local quintets
are about the most evenly matched
flves ever seen on a local floor. and
from the middle Of the first half until
time was called by the referee it was
any5ody's game. At times the visit
ors showed better team work than
the locals. and again the home boys
showed to better advantage than the
Branbleton athletes.
Armstrong was the particular star
OF the game. making several speciac-
ular shots from mid-foor. LEM, who
was switched to worward. also played
fine ball. Cottrell was the star for
the locals, his work at guard being
brilliant throughout.
Didn't Throw Bail Up.
Payne, who made his debut as the
regular center of the team. didn't get
half show because the referee in
stead OF throwing the ball straight up
in the air above the heads OF the
centers invariably passed 1t to the
visiting center. The referee ap-
peared to be afraid that he would be
hurt by the players and stood with
out the ring at center when throwing
the ball mp, although Captain Hamil-
ton protested against this method or
starting play
During the first ten minutes the
locals outplayed the visitors and 1t
looked like an easy victory for the
home talent, but Armstrong soon be-
gan getting in his deadly shooting
and wien the half ended Bramcleton
led by one point, 10 to Is.

ABNORMAL RAINFALL IN ST. LUCIA

a motto has been received from the Agri-
cultural Suporiutaa lent Of St Lucia. which
shows that the rainfall in that island during
last month III ~ vas abnormal. The quantity
registered 1T tho Botanic Station was 2l95
iucAe5, which, rs is pointed out, Is the re-
cord monthly rainfall for Castries for the lfst
twenty voars with thu exception OF that regis
tered iD September, 1898, which was % IS
inches, It is 15.10inchos above the average
for May, during the same period, and It's
quantity has not b5eu approached since May
1897, when the precipitation was 1879 finch
es. TAis condition did not apply to Castries
and district, only, for heavy rains have been
general over the island. and records from
various quarters range from 1921 inches in
the dry districts, II 27'I4 inches in those
where the rainfall is generally high.
The effect Of this abnormal rainfall has
been to delay the cultivation of the land; it
- stated, in fact, that such operations as
wedding are practically impossible. The
continuation Of such weather would be IN
fortunate for the cscao industry, in view Of
tle prejudicial effect on the normal setting
aud development OF the pods, and the con
ditions which it supplies for the develop
