LEADS ALL THE NATIONS.
Enoland's Ship Construction Equals
That Of Two Nearest Rivals.

London, March 27.-A survey oil ma
val shipbuilding during the last year
shows that England has more than
held her own. The actual amount Of
arm6rcd tonnage completed for Great
Britain during 1910 was 96,fO0 tons,
as compared with $3.50 tons complet-
cd in 1909. Germany during the same
pcrioG completed 55.lO0 tons, and the
United states 10000 tons, or total
for the two nations of 95,1OO tons.
These being the two next strongest
naval powers, 1t Is manifest that, If
England has preponderancc over
their combined output. she must
also have prcponderance over
that of any two powers But this pre-
ponderance as compared with the two
next strongest powers falls consider
ably, short Of 10 rer cent
England is adding TO the fleet ON The
one hand and taking away ON the
other. and rs her ships have been
heavier and more powerful than those
OF other powers. she stands TO lose
more I'm comparison than they do.

May csT BAD SETBACK.
Congressional Re .distriotine May Put
Some Politicians on Waiting List.


Lansing, Mich, March Elf the
congressional districts Of Michigan
are changed some politicians who have
cast longing glances toward Wash
inst0n for many years may be severe
iv disappointed. as counties entitled
10 representation may be showed into
other districts and certain aspirants
win be placed on the waiting list
again.
In the fourth district Congressman
+. L. Hamilton Of Niles has worn the
toga for fourteen years and there has
been a sort of understanding for sew
eral years that Barry County will be
given the next chance. However, un-
der the new order OF things il is said
that Barry county will be placed in
the fifth district with Kent, and this
may have a direct bearing on the flu
ture political ambitions Of c l.. Glas-
gov, chairman of the state railroad
commission and prominent business
man ~ Nashville, Barry county.
During the past twelve months
-hcre has been considerable sentiment
I'm the fourth district to the effect that
O.. l. GLASGOW should be the republican
candidate for congress in the fourth
district IN 1912, but If the wiseacres
AZ Washington revamp the districts
Nr Glasgow's chances will go glm-
mering with Barry county placed in
the same district with Kent.
on several occasions MT Glasgow
has been touted as a possible guber-
Material candidate In 1912. but II is
said that he would rather go to Wash
ineton than occupy the executive chair
and his friends among the various
'ate officials are hoping that the
chance in the districts if any Is made
will not be such as to seriously afIec!
any plans he may have in this par
ticularly direction.
