GIANT DRY DOCK WILL
BE BUILT ON PACIFIC
IL VIII Accommodate ANY
Vessel Passing Through the
Panama Canal.

WASH tNGTovi Nov. "A contract has
been made by the Navy Department with
the Union Iron Works e San Francisco
for a giant drydock capable of accom-
modating any vessel which can get
through the locks of the Panama Canal
The navy guarantees that It will pay
the owners OF the dock al least $50 900
a year for six years for the accommoda-
ton OF battlcships or other naval vessels
ut this dock The navy is to pay
fixed charge a ton for vessels accom-
modated in the dock, but in case these
charges for n year do not amount 10
$4,000 the navy win pay that sum. II
the navy uses the dock 10 a cost of more
than $4,000 Il year 1t will pay the total
amount,
With the completion OF the Panama
Canal the docking situation on the Pacific
coast threatened to become acute, as the
present facilities are entirely INADEQUATE
TO the needs of the navy. The only large
dock now available on the west coast
Is that at the navy yard at Bremerton
in Puget Sound.
II is believed that the new dock will
prove u great advantage to the city of
San Francisco as 1t viii be the only one
OF its size north of the Panama Canal
The dock will he 1890 feet. long, 10
feet wide and will measure 20 feet over
the stills.

REDISCOUNT RATES
FIXED FOR RESERVE
Announcement of Them With
held by the Federal Board
Until To-day.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. l3.-The Federal
Reserve Board at a meeting this afternoon
fixed redisCount rates for the twelve re-
serve districts, TO become effective on the
opening OF the reserve banks next Mon
day.
The board did not accept all the sug-
gestiuns of the reserve banks as TO the
rates which they desired for their dis
tricts and as a result IL was decided that
the rates should not be announced until
tomorrow, by which time all the banks
will be communicated with regarding the
alterations which had been made in their
suggestions.
The most important subject on which
the board desired to get into communi-
cation with the directors of the reserve
banks before publishing the opening rates
is the contemplated difference which Is 10
be fixed between the rates on thirty day
paper and paper running for longer
period.
one reserve bank had suggested that "A
difference of a half Of | per cent he al
lowed between the two kinds OF paper
The board approved this suggestion
heartily, accepting the principle that the
former paper is most easily convertible
and hence should have the advantage over
longer time paper, just as call loans have
the advantage over time loans.
Members of the board. however, decided
that the same principle should be recog-
niZed In all districts, As onIy ono TtselNc
bank had asked for the difference in rates
the board thought it best to ask the other
banks if they did not desire the same privi-
lege The secretary OF the board was In
structed to communicate with the COVER
nors Of the twelve other banks during the
evening and to report their views at
meeting Of the board to be held tomorrow
morning.
The rates suggested by the twelve banks
varied from to per cent II was the
view of the board that there was too great
a divergence between the rates suggested
for some of the districts, and changes were
made in these rates so as to bring all or
them within a narrower range.
1t Is not known whether the changes
were made In the lower or the higher rates
or In other words. whether the range OF
the rates viii be from a point above per
cent. to per cent, or from per cent, 10
point below 7 per cent There Is a well
defined opinion among persons familiar
with the view Of the board, however, that
the net result of the changes was to raise
the general level of the rates instead of
to lower them
After -morroW's meeting, II Is under
stood, fediscount rates will be an
nounced through the publication OF a cir.
,ular from Gov. Hamlin 10 the reserve
banks, This will set forth in addition the
difference allowable between the two kinds
Of paper for each district.
After examining the requests for Fed
eral reserve notes which had come from
the various banks the board found that
the $3.50, 10000 which had been printed
would more than suffice for the present
needs of the new institutions Shipments
Of these notes viii be made tomorrow.

erals created by Gen. Wotherspoon's re-
tirement is to be filled by the nomination
Of Gen Funston to that position. Gen,
Funston is now commanding the American
forces at Vera Cruz and 1t was announced
that for the present he would remain with

vancement was In store for him. Gen
Scott enjoys the fullest confidence and
highest regard Of Secretary Garrison. who
came to know him when Scott was COM
manding on the border.
Gen. Scott is known throughout the
army as the most successful officer now

tribes. He was equally successful In deal
ings with Mexcans, and there sprang
up on the part of Gen villa a devotion
TO Gen. Scott which has been regarded as
remarkable.
II is known that villa regards Gen
Scott as man who understands him and
one In whom he can place the utmost
confidence. There have been many occa-
sions on which Villa has acted In ac-
cordance with this feeling toward Gen.
Scott
1t was Cen Scott who placed In Villas
hands works on the rules of modern war
fare and convinced Villa that the Ameri-
can public regarded his early methods in
Mexico as little short OF harbarous
