Navy OFFICERS
TO TAKE LOOK
Believe They viii Find Torpedo Or
Mine Caused Wreck Of
The Maine.

Washington, July IA board OF
naval officers, experts in explosives, is
Being selected by the navy depart
ment to study the hull of the battle
ship Maine in Havana harbor as the
water is pumped from the cofferdam
now surrounding the wreck.
Because of the necessarily slow
progress of the work weeks probably
will elapse before the experts will be
able to inspect the keel of the former
Warship, but the board viii proceed
to Havana as soon as its personnel is
made known, and will remain there
until the work is finished.
The navy department officers are
convinced that the examination will
prove the correctness of the Sampson
board, which decided the destructive
explosion which sunk the Maine was
caused by torpedo or mine, and that
the explosion of the ships magazines
followed.
Bixby Made No Reports.
Gen. w. Fl. BiXby, chief engineer,
who has just returned from Havana,
issued the following signed statement:
"The work of unwatering the Maine
so far proves nothing as to the origin
of the explosion of the magazine, but
already shows such extensive destruc-
ton of the forward part of the boat
that 1t is quite, probable that fuller
unwatering will fail to give any proofs
either way as to the origin Of such
explosions. I have so far made no
reports or statements as to the origin
of the explosion"

DIX URGES HOME
RULE FOR CITIES

Chicago. September ia vigorous
plea for the emancipation of Amorr-
can cities from tho control of State
governments was nude to-day at the
international Municipal Congress by
Governor John A. Dix, of New York,
whose paper on "Homs Rule for Citiea,
was read by Charles Logue, chairman
OF the Boston school house COMMITTEES.
The necessary condition OF efficient
and honest municipal government"
Governor Dix contended. lis an ad-
1ustment Of relations between the state
and the cities that wall make the cities
as free from State Interference and
control as the States are free from
national Interference and control.
There can be- no right solution Of thu
problem OF city government until 1t Is
admitted that tho city has an inherent
right to be endowed with adequ ate au-
thority that can be exercised without
interference from any quarter to sat.
isry the rights and meet the needs OF
people within the municipality.
The time has come when the cities
should demand that instead OF being
governed as subject provinces, they
should be endowed with powers OF
government as complete and efficient
as those vested in tho State and the
nation.
"Endow our cities with tho self gov
eminent to which they are entitled and
at once there will be created a sense
or civic pride AMI civic responsibility
that VIII in turn generate q vivid

guarding the terminals found little to

branches of the Great Northern. An
effort to fill the places OF the men who
quit is being made. / orty Scottish
strike breakers arrived this morning
and met hostile reception from the
strikers, who attempted to stampede
