I.urgc Sum to Navy. London, Feb. 24. The British naval estimate for 1904-05 totals $184,445,000, a net Increase ot $12,100,000 over the es timate for 1903-04. More than half the increase in the estimates is due to the determination to pay the entire balance due on the recently purchased Chilean battleships on April 1, and to provide them with ammunition for the next year. The remainder of the increase arises from expansion of the fleet, increase in pay of the personnel and material. The estimates provide for a total of $58,270,880 for new construction, of which $3,210,415 will be devoted to the commencement of new ships. The Ad miralty will devote $9,000,000 to the pur chase of armor during the coming year, and Hay.- it now has no difficulty in se curing an a'lequa t supp'y of the quarts desired. Hatitrfac oiy progress has been made in the experiments with oil fuel, and tin ee oil ttinboats have, been converted into tank ships for the storing of oil in home ports. Extensive provision is being made to furnish oil afloat. The construction will be begun during the present year of t o battleships, four armed eruiserp, ten submar ine vessels and four torpedo-boat destroyers. In submitting the estimates, the Earl of Selbourne, First Lord of the Admiral ty, Baid the Admiralty was aware the estimates were large, but Parliament must remember how great is the respon sibility cast upon the Board of Admiralty in providing the country with a navy strong enough to sustain a struggle with the navies of any two powers, and to in sure reasonable security for the country's vast sea-borne trade and the food supply of the people. two died first in order to determine whether the beneficiary of the certificate or tie heirs at law of the insured man are entitled to the amount of the insur ance. The heirs of Harry Hanby are Mrs. Anna Stewart, Mrs. Nellie P. Bnreh, Sadie Thomas, Ross Thomas and Jessie E., Lydia, Nellie and Wille Kirk, the latter six minors. The Woodmen in this bill claim that they have never denied liability and are willing to pay the amount of the insur ance, but will not do so until tne claim- I ants have appeared and pleaded their clainis and given the court an opportun ity to decide who shall have it. ACCUSED OF DlNAniTLU, Arrests For Outrage on Long: Creek Newspaper, Canyon City, Or., Feb. 2(5. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of com plicity in the blowing up of the office of the Long Creek Ranger on February 7. They are W. O. Harriman, editor of the Long Creek Light, and W. B. Mynatt, a Barber at Long Creek. The charges against Harriman are both under state and federal law, one being destruction of property and the other being vio lence to a United State's Commission er's office. The other prisoner is charged with sending a threatening letter through the mail. His arrest was made under state law, but the postoffice department is investigating the case, and a federal charge may be made.? The investigation was begun a week ago by Officer B. S. Selvage, of the Na tional Detective Agency at Portland, and has progressed so far that other ar rests will follow, rumor connecting many prominent persons with the crime. Dr. Henry W. Coe,of Portland, is as sietina his brother, Charles A. Coe, ed itor of the Ranger, and a reward ag gregating $750 has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the dynamiters. FINDS A Mi Cifllrv. Jury Decides tlie Famous Iostal Fraud Case. . Washington, Feb. 20. "Guilty as in dicted" was the verdict announced by the jury in the postoffice conspiracy trial, shoitly after 8 o'clock tonight, stating at the same time that this was the verdict as to all four defendants. August W. Machen, ex-generttLsiiperin-tendent of the rural free delivery divis ion ; George F. r,orenz, of Toledo ; Sam uel A. Groff and Dilier 15. Grofr, of Washington. The jury had been ont nine hours. In the dimly lighted room sat the four defendants, who, after the case was given to the jury, had been placed in T'aelcNM Fire ExtlnRrufahers. Scores of costly fire extinguishers and hundreds of fire buckets are picked up and destroyed every yerr by the agents of the insurance patrol. They are all rrndercd worthless by neglect. Acids which enter into the formulae of most patent extinguishers eat away the tin coverings, and there is nothing to be done except to destroy the apparatus, because it becomes a peril in itself. The water buckets, which should be emptied and refilled at least once a week, Bimply rust out and become useless. Philadel phia Press. Weultli in England.

The Register and Receiver of The Dalles Land Office and the Special Agent assigned to that lanu district nave received circular in structions from the General Land Offict directing that a change be made in the cross examination of timber land claim ants making final proof. During the past year the cross examination in all final proofs on timber claims lias been con ducted bv the Special Agent. Tbe new instructions require the officers before whom final proof is made to make the death-like silence fell on the small crowd which had been permitted to en ter the room as the clerk inquired of the foreman if a verdict had been reached The jury to a man rose, and as the words "Guilty as indicted" fell from the foreman's lips defendants and their counsel seemed appalled. During the time the jury was out the four defendants paced up and down the hallway outside the courtroom and gave expressions to the belief that each hour the jury spent in discussing the case brought them nearer to acquittal. There was general astonishment that the jilry had included in the conviction Samuel A. Groff, a Washington polieem n, and inventor of the Groff fastener, as to whom Holmes Conrad, special counsel for the government, yesterday informed the jury he did not expect a conviction, and personally he did not believe in his guilt. Five ballots in all were taken. On the first ballot the vote stood seven to five for conviction; on the (if h ballot the vote was unanimous. Immediately after the verdict was rendered, Charles Douglass, in behalf of all four defendants, filed motion for a new trial, for nn arreat of judgment, and for an appeal, for the purpose of hav ing the defendants admitted to bail Bail was then fixed at !'20,000 each, the bond of Lorenz and the two Groffs be ing increased from $10,000.

Victims of Heppner Flood Left lu miraiice Money. Portland, February 27. In the dread Hood that devasted the town of Hepp ner, June 14, 1003, Harry and Emma Hanby, man and wife, were swallowed in the vortex, as far as any one knows, at the same instant, but to determine which of the two died first is the vexed question that now devolves upon the state circuit court. This is rendered necessary by a bill of interpleader today filed by the Modern Woodmen of America, in whose branch camp Juniper, No. 751G. Harry Hanby was a member when tbe flood occurred. Suit was begnn eeyeral months ago by Ernest Vose, administrator of the estate of Emma Hanby, to recover $3000, the amount of Harry Hanby's certificate of life insurance. The suit grew out of the fact that the heirs of Hanby demanded the money. The Modern Woodmen of America refused to pay either until the rase had been settled between the claim ants, ana then followed the administrat or's suit. , The courts must decide which of tbe woman in Chicago, is dead at the Home cross examination on the regular blanks . , , T , , ,, for Aged and Infirm Colored People. provided by the Interior Department for , . , ' ' She was 129 vears o d.
