Death of Ex-Secretary Morton Val
uable Old Bible Dynamite Outrage,
The house committee on naval af
fairs lias completed the naval ap
propriation bill The most important
Item, as to the nvw ships, was left
mull the last, uml as finally de
termined upon was as follows: Two
battleships of about 1G.O0O tons dis
placement, to cost exclusive 0" armor
and armament $1,212,000 each; two ar
mored cruisers of about 14,500 tons dis
placement each, to cost exclusive of
armor and armament, $4.fi.ri9,0UO each
two gunboats of 1,1100 tons displace
ment, each to cost $382,000.
The following provision is made:
"That the secretary of the navy may
in his discretion and so far as in his
judgment Is practical, direct that any
or all or the vessels herein authorized
be built In such navy yards as ho may
designate.
Provision also Is made for building
one of each class of ships on tha
Pacific coast and that no contractor
shall build more than one battleship,
cruiser or gunboat.
The lll.noo ton battleships will be the
largest ever authorized for the Amer
ican navy and among the largest war
ships alloat.
Butter and Eggs Dropped.
Despite, and Indeed partly because
of. nmrlted Irregularities In weather
conditions and extreme temperatures,
accompanied by deterioriation In the
winter wheat crup of the Southwest,
Keneral business and speculation have
been of a very full volume for this sea
son of the year. P.etail demand was
relieved from the Incubus of backward
weather by the hot wave which swept
over a large part of the country thi3
week. This has resulted In a fair re
order business for the wholesalers and
Jobbers In the Ka-t. but the talk of
crop damnpe put a check upon demand
In the Central West and Southwest.
The cereals and to a lesser deereo
hog products generally responded
promptly to the Southwestern wheat
dnniage reports, which, coupled with
heavy decreases in the visible supplies,
particularly in Manitoba and the
Northwest, resulted in the highest
prices of the crop season being reached
for cash wheat. Corn, too. almost
broke the season's record.
Crop reports to Ilrndstrect's indicate
thut beyond doubt the Kansas wheat
crop has been hurt by the drought and
hot winds. Nothing In excess of three
quarters of a crop Is looked for even
by the most sanguine, while 60 per
cent of last year's yield is confidently
predicted.
Meats are all higher, marketable ani
mals are scarce and receipts are small.
Hog products have advanced in syni
pathy with cereals, but butter and
egns, alleged to have been cornered
some time a-o, have broken badly, the
former to the extent of seven cents
per pound.
Wheat, Including flour, exports for
the week, at-gresate 3,750,389 bushels,
against 4.118,108 bushels last week
and 4,282.12!) bushels in this week last
year.
in.a statement appears in mo i-'reso.
wnicn also says:
ine premise of relief was made
Sunday night by Ferdinand Sulzber
ger of Schwaiv.child & Sulzberger,
wneu lie was conferring with the mem
bers of the committee of investigation
appointed by the KepuhHcmi club of
New 'iork. Mr. Sulzberger said: "I
can say with assniance that In
month from now prices will have
sou ;ht their former level or close to
it, and that level will be found soon
thereafter. I can make that promise
because there will be nn influx by that
time of the new grass-led rattle from
Texas, and a break In prices Is bound
to fellow."
It was learned that a conference Is
to he held in Washington next Thurs
day. These at the conference will be

Attempted Dynamite Outrage
An attempt to blow up the tunnel of
the Canadian Niagara Power company
with dynamite was discovered Satur
day morning and the Ontaria police
and detectives are trying to find the
persons engaged in it. The tunnel Is
for the development of the power of
Horseshoe fall. It Is being built in
Victoria park, on the Canadian side,
and runs north and south from a shaft
100 feet below the surface. Night and
day shifts are employed.
Between the shafts somebody sev
ered the wire leading from an electric
battery used In discharging blasts and
connected the end with the cap of the
dynamite cartridge that had been
placed between two boxes containing
a pounds of dynamite.
Had the attempt been successful
the tunnel would have been destroyed
and from 20 to 40 lives lost. The
pounds of dynamite were in a natural
position In the tunnel, where it was
customary to place dynamite awaiting
use. The discovery was made bv a
negro man, who at once notified the
foreman

Individuals Have Rights.
At the trial of the editor of Free
dom, at Manila, P. I., who is charged
with sedition, the attorney general
R. V.'ilfley, created a sensation and
astounded the Judge, lawyers and
spectators. He said: " The civil gov
ernnieni wants to know where It
stands under the law passed. It wants
to know whether it will bo enforced or
whether such unwarranted statements
will be allowed. The court knows the
wishes of Ihe government and it Is to
bo presumed that It knows Its own
rules."
Judge Odiin replied: "The court will
determine the case according to law.
The couit wants you to understand
that It believes Individuals have rights
as well as governments."

Believed the America Is Fast In the
Ice Effort to Meet Baldwin Aftei
Relieving the America Mr. Champ
Will Establish a Patrol Covering
Baldwin's Route.
New York. April 29. Plans for the
auxiliary Paldwin-Selsler expedition
to polar regions have been completed
The steamer Frithjof, which with the
America conveyed the Raldwin party
to Franz Josef I. and, has been chart
ered for the work and will depa
from 1 romsoe on July 1. The aux
iliary expedition will be directed by
W. C. Champ, secretary to William
Siegler, who will sail from Eurcp
on tlie steamer Cymric nn May 23.
The remainder of the party will leave
on the steamer Pretoria on June 7
.Mr. Champ and all cf his assistants
have had experience in Arctic regions.
The Frithjof is now iu drydock. She
will again be commanded by Captain
Kjeldsen. whose work in the Arctic
has been conspicuous.
The Frithjof will go from Tromsoe
to Cninp Slenler on Alger island,
which Is in 8o:2l north, and there re
ceive the last Instructions left by
Daldwln. Il is btdieved here that
llaldwln has worked to the northward
cf Alger island and that the America
Is fast In the ice. Whan the America
Is found an effort will be made to re
fill her hunkers with coal and work
her out of the Ice pack. It is thought
that llaldwln used the America for
winter headquarters and worked north
with sledge, establishing caches pre
paratory to the dash to the pole. Ilnld-
win's associates here are of the opln
on that llaldwln began his northern
movement for the pole about the mid
dle of February and that he will
reach the highest point about the mid
dle cf June, and the Frithjof expedi
tion Is timed to meet him.
Ilalwln has always believed that he
would find a drift that would take him
cut by way of Greenland, but his asso
ciates are of the opinion that his re
turn will be across the Ice toward
Franz Jo?ef Land.
Mr Champ's plan after releasing the
America will be to establish a patrol
with the hepe of picking up the Dald
wln party. It is planned to cover a
stretch of 150 miles east and west
across the route most likely to be
taken by Ualdwin. It Is thought that
the patrol can be kept up without
danger of tho America and Frithjof
being Imprisoned until Sept. 1. If
Baldwin is not found by that time or
is not reported from other sources a
pnrty of six men will be left In a
winter camp to be established on the
west coast of Franz Josef Land for
the purpose of patrolling the weit
coast nf Franz Josef Land In order to
aid Mr. Baldwin ami his companions
In the event of their returning hy tho
rranz Josef route.
