CR SE Se ZR ta. AR SO NESE ESE PICNIC FOR NNUAL NAVAL OFFIGERS Sailors of Big Fleet Have Time of Their Lives at San Diego, California. MANY GUESTS ON VESSELS Fireworks Display: Ends a Day of Frolic, Fun and Freedom for the ‘Soldiers. © “hawt San Diego, Cal. —After two evs of pageantry on sea and land,. there was a restful lull in San Diego’ s celébra- tion in honor of the America “battle- ship fleet. Ninety-two of the officers, including Rear Admiral Thoma$, were entertained at a picnic’ some 30 miles in the country, passing through orange and olive orchards on the way. More than 100 citizens accompanied the of- ficers, and 44 automobiles were re- quired to accommodate the party. At the conclusion of the noondayp luncheon spread on a grassy lawn, there were a number of informal speeches. It was late in the even- ing when the officers returned from the outing. Boat races on the bay during the morning, a base ball game in the aft- ernoon, free lemonade and fruit, horseback rides, trolley excursions and sight-seeing "tours occupied the attention of the 2,000 sailors, who came ashore in liberty. Men Enjoy Shore Leave. The streets down town were filled with the bluejackets, every passerby had a word of welcome for them, and following out their individual] desires, they had a splendid time on this their, first day of liberty in an American city in more than four months. All of the 16 vessels of the fleet at anchorage of Coronado, were thrown open to visitors from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m., and the excursion launches run- ning out to sea had all they could do to handle the interested throngs which in most cases set foot on a man-of-war for the first time in their lives. The third day of the fleet's stay ended with an extensive fireworks display from a vessel anchored in the center of the bay. The aerial flights of all manner of pyrotechnic wonders could be seen for miles around, and were enjoyed alike by the sailors on the fleet and the people ashore. Magnificent Fireworks Display. The display opened with a rear ad- miral’s salute of 13 bombs exploding high in the air. Then followed a brilliant ascension of 36 signal rock- ets. Next, in a burst of vari-colored lights, the bay was illuminated with 25 floating beacons set adrift from the barge and burning 15 minutes. Other features of the fire show were showers of liquid gold, hanging | chains, azure mists, floating diadems, | chromatic stars, electric meteors, fly- ing fish, floating festoons, eagles in | fire, volleys of cobras, calliope rock- ets, weird water falls, a mystic flash curtain, flights of bouquet rockets in groups of 100 and scores of other en- chantingly named novelties. There was considerable entertain- | ment by the officers on board many of the ships, luncheons and dinner parties predominating. HAGUE COURT'S FIRST JOB United States and Britain to Submit | First Great Question. Washington, D. C.—The American | and British governments are planning to submit to the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague the task of interpreting the Newfoundland fisher- ies treaty of 1818. Ratification of the general arbitration treaty recently ne- gotiated between the two countries will be necessary before The Hague court will be called upon to take juris- diction of this important case, but this ratification is predicted in well-in- formed quarters. In consenting to submit so import- ant a principle to arbitration by The Hague court the American and British governments are giving that tribunal a prestige in the initial stages of its existence, which is regarded -diplomat- ically as an international occurrence of the first magnitude. SOUTH WANTS ITALIANS Shortage of Field Labor in the Lower | Mississippi Region. Washington, D. C.—Northern statements to the contrary. T. V.

TH REATENS MASSACRE of Haiti's President “Says He Will Not Submit to Deposition. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.—More than four weeks have elapsed since the savage shooting of political prison- ers, variously estimated at from 27 to 48, sent the warships of four an- tions scurrying to Port-au-Prince. Their arrival put the seal of security on the lives and property of foreign- ers, and since then at least outward tranquility has prevailed. In the executions of March 15, President Nord’ Alexis achieved the double purpose of obliterating as many of his foes as he could lay hands on and striking terror into the hearts of those who were beyond his reach. Since then, his name and that of his ferocious lientenant, Gen- eral Jules Alexis Coicou, who person- ally directed the shooting of the pris- oners, including some of his own blood relatives, are only mentioned in whispers. All Haiti trembles be- fore them. Alexis has made the significant statement that if he is not permitted to end his term of office unmolested he will, rather .than submit to deposi- tion, write His name on the scroll of fame in the blood of such a massacre | as Haiti has not seen since the days | of Dessalines, once known as jean Jacques I. No one doubts his ability to carry out this threat, which. is understood | to be intended as a deterrent’ not | only to revolutions but to any attempt ot foreign interference in the affairs of Haiti. While there have been many ar- | rests of natives suspected of sympa- thy with the late revolution, and po- litical prisoners continue to be brought in in batches from interior points there have been no more pub- lic shootings. Indeed the govern- | ment denies any more executions have | taken place. This, however. is in- credible, in view of the fact that | many persons are known to have | been dragged from their beds at night and that all trace of them has been lost. Invents Wireless Truck. Omaha, Neb.—Dr. Frederick H. Millener, an electrical engineer at the Union Pacific shops at Omaha, having succeeded in applying the principles of wireless electrical trans- mission to an electric motor, showed to several electricians a wireless elec- tric truck which has been in use at the Union Pacific shops for several weeks. The truck is started and stopped from a wireless central sta- tion. Six persons were drowned and great property loss caused by floods in Texas.

The provision for battleships was the chief subject of interest, the committee’s recommendation for two ships of that type prévailing by a decisive vote after a hard fought ef- fort to increase the number to four. The increase was opposed by Mr. Tawney, chairman of the committee on appropriations; Mr. Foss, chairman of the cemmitteer on naval affairs; Mr. Willifms, minority leader, and many others, and was advocated by Mr. Hobson, Alabama, who declared that in relation. to::the increase of other nations, four battleships would only keep the American navy abreast of other great navies." Mr. Longworth of Ohio in a vigor- ous speech told the house that the President was more interested in this increase than in any other question before congress. Mr. Burton of Ohio spoke in opposi- tion to the battleship provision. He declared that the Monroe doctrine was not maintained by the military armament. : Mr. Hobson of Alabama, intérrupted to ask, what, in the absence of ab- solute power to arbitrate, would pro- tect the country. \ Mr. Tawney’s amendment reducing the number of battleships to one was defeated by 205 noes to 65 ayes. Insisting upon some concession, Mr. Hobson moved an amendment pro- viding for three battleships which was voted down by 208 to 64, a larger majority than any developed on any other vote taken. The bill as it stands, authorizes expenditures of $107,837,000. AFTER. 12 STEEL CONCERNS Boston Demands Prosecutions for Vio- lating Federal!

Senator Clapp took the war bonnet and thanked the chief. STATE COURTS MUST YIELD Judge Pritchard Backed by Highest Tribunal in the Land. Asheville, N. C.—An interesting situation has followed the expiration of the four.days allowed by United States Judge Pritchard to the State Commissioners to file their supersedeas bond in the dispensary cases. It is now the duty of the receivers ap- pointed by Judge Pritchard to wind up the dispensary affairs to make a demand upon the state commission- ers for the trust fund and collateral. These are locked in the state treas- urer’s safe, and that official is absent from the state. Judge Pritchard is understood to be acting in harmony with the views of Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme Court of the United States, in fact having today received a letter from him relating to this subject, so that it may be fairly expected that in case of further conflict between the United States Circuit Court and the state courts and officials in this matter, Judge Pritchard is assured of the sup- port of the highest tribunal in the land. : M'KINLEY HOME SOLD Famous “Front Porch” at Canton Passes to Other Hands. Canton, Ohio.—The home of the late President McKinley was formally transferred to Mrs. Rose C. Klorer of Canton, the price being $21.000.

MOE WARSHFS WANTED President Wants Congress to Pro- vide Four New Battleships. i ;URGED AS A PEACE MEASURE Rresident Declares That the United : States Has No Intention of { Engaging in War of i Conquest. } Washington. —The message of the Bresident in support of his plan for an appropriation for four new battle- ships, concerning which there has heen so much speculation, was .re- ceiv ed Tuesday by both houses of con- "ESS. * The message was not laid before the house until just before the close of the day's work. It was enthusias- tically received by the advocates of a larger navy. The “antis” later gave went to their feelings by applauding a petition from a number of citizens of New York city, which was read at the instance of Mr. Tawney, protest- ing against ‘the ex{ravagance of spending over $60,000,000 for four bat- tleships.” These demonstrations afforded a fair opportunity to judge the temper of the house as a whole on the proposi- tion. It was evident that the oppo- nents of four battleships were in the majority, although the final vote will be close. Four Large Ships at Once. Compressed into what would be not more than a ten-minute speech the president urged congress to provide for the construction of ships of the largest and most approved type at once. The arguments were few, but calculated to be effective. China was held up as an example of the “peace at any price” doctrine and Great Britain as having the naval policy to be emulated. The result of the 1nst Hague confer- ence made it plain that the nations would not for some time, if ever, agree on a plan of limitation of naval armament. Arbitration, the president holds, cannot be relied upon to is fullest extent. Disclaiming any intention on the part of the United States ever to en- gage in a war of conquest the presi- dent made it plain that this country could ill afford to relax into a place where insult would have to be borne in silence. PENSION INCREASE Hundreds of Thousands Will Be Saved Soldiers’ Widows. Washington.—Pension Commission- er Warren announced that widows now on the pension roll would not be required to make application for the increase from $8 to $12 a month, rec- ently voted by congress. The com- has instructed the pension agencies throughout the country to put the law into effect automatically, the first payment of the increase to be made May 4. This action will result in a saving of several hundred thousand dollars to the pensioners affected. Widows not already on the rolls, but who are entitled to the increase, are required to make application, as in the past. No Black Hand, Says King. Rome.—King Victor Emmanuel gave an audience to Robert Watchorn, com- missioner of immigration at New York and to William B. Howland, secretary of the Outlook Company. In con- versing upon the subject of emigra- tion, the king said it was important to destroy the superstition and le- gends concerning the Black Hand, which, he said, did not actually exist, either in Italy or America.

Helena, Mont.—Without warning, the great dam at Hauser Lake, on the Missouri river, 15 miles north of this city, partially gave way, causing dam- age estimated at about $250,000. No lives were lost, and as far as can be learned, no serious damage has been caused by the volume of water, estimated about 25 feet, which was precipitated into the channel below the structure. The narrowness of the river and its interwinding course has impeded the Loss ‘progress of the water and no great loss of property is anticipated in the towns and villages north of this city. Hauser Lake dam, 70 feet high, and 490 feet long, was completed last year at;a cost of more than $2.000,000, and developed a horsepower of 25,000, which was utilized in operating the various power plants in Helena and the Butte mines and the Amalgamated ‘Copper Company’s smelter plants at Anacenda. BIG OUTLAY IN MILLS Steel Corporation to Extend Its Ten- nessee Holdings. New York.—Not only all the im- .| provements projected and approved by the former management of the Ten- nessee Coal and Iron Company, but other substantial changes as well will be pushed through as rapidly as pos- sible, according to an announcement made today by the United ‘States Steel Corporation. The additional improvements include remodeling three blast furnaces, giving them an increased production of 600 tons a day, installation of a 600-ton metal mixer, building four new 100-ton open-hearth furnaces, and opening of coal mine No. 13, on the Pratt seam. The new steel rail mill, which is expected to be ready for operation next month, will have a capacity of 50,000 tons a month as compared with 20,000 tons a month, the capacity of the old mill. NEW CAMP PROVES RICH in Koyukuk, Alaska. Seattle, Wash.—A dispatch from Fairbanks, Alaska, says that word has been received there that two men who made the recent rich strike on Nolan creek in Koyukuk have already pan- ned out $30,000, and that they only took the pans from bedrock, the grav- e] going to build up a big dump to be washed up in the spring. On Wiseman éreek a similar wash has been found, and if the men now at work strike as rich pay as found on Nolan creek, another big camp will spring up in Alaska. Alleged Paints Are Watered. Washington.—The charge that the great bulk of the paints sold in the United States are more or less heav- ily adulterated with water and other foreign substasces, and are sold as genuine lead-and-oil compounds, was made before the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce by Prof. E. L. Ladd of the North Dako- ta State Agricultural college, in the duced by Representatives Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and Marshall of North Dakota, to prohibit the adulteration commerce. FOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS Senate Committe Votes to Make Fa- vorable Report. Washington .—The senate commit- tee on postoffices and post roads voted to report favorably the postal savings bank bill drafted by a sub- committee. An amendment was adopted changing the name of the proposed institutions to postal depos- itories, which meets the objections raised against the bill by bankers. The amendment does not alter the purposes of the bill, the objects of which are to furnish convenient de- positories for the small savings of peonle remote from adequate banking facilities.
