THE MOKNING OREGQNIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1900. MAKES LAST REPORT Admiral Hichborn's Annual Recommendations. THE PROGRESS OF 45 YEARS Recommends More Dry&ocks and Re pair Facilities Construction Wdrlc For Grorcnuaeat yard. "WASHINGTON, Oct 21. The report of the Chief of the Bureau of- Construction and Repair for the fiscal year 1S89-1S0O has Just been made public. Especial In terest attaches to the report, as it is the lost one to be submitted byKear Admlral Hlchborn, -who under the opera tion of the Jaw will retire March 4 next. The pprlod during which he has held Jthl post has seen greater changes In the Navy than any other equal period in Its history, the Chief Constructor having begun, as he states, 45 years ago as a Government apprentice employed upon the construction of the Merrimac and Hartford. After speaking of the old "wooden shlps-of-war, without protection or water-tight subdivisions, and armed with broadsides of smooth-bores, he says: "How many of those associated with the work of this period, looking Into the future, would have believed that during the space represented by the career of a man the ships-of-war and sails as a means of propulsion would have passed; that steel should have become the mate rial of construction, steam the propelling power, and electricity a general agent on shipboard; and for protection, armament, speed and endurance have forced the con struction of battle-ships and armored cruisers of deep displacement of over 10, 000 and 35,000 tons, and speeds of 10 to 22 knots? "Who of them would have be lieved that within that time the resources of this country could have been so de veloped that when such vessels-of-war are to be constructed, every part going into them is American production?" The report opens with the estimates, the principal items being: For preserva tion of and repairs to vessels of the Navy, $7,000,000; for repairs and improvements to Navy-Yard plants, $920,000; the account of hulls and outfits of vessels and steam machinery heretofore authorized, $21,772, 817. The Chief Construct points out the disadvantages under which the naval sta tion at Cavite labors, and quotes a re port from the Naval Constructor relative to a proposed .site at Olongapo, Sublg Bay. He withholds recommendations thereon until the question of a perma nent naval station in the Philippines is definitely settled. Especial attention is placed upon the need for additional dry dockr. He says: 'There are available at the present time on the east coast of the United States but nine Government drydocks, of all sizes, distributed among seven ports, and of these but one is of sufficient size to take the battle-ships. The docking facilities available are severely taxed un der existing peace conditions. This dis parity in time of war would be an ex tremely serious matter, and might result in keeping a considerable portion of our naval strength ineffective at critical times. It cannot be too strongly urged that the increase in docking and repair facilities in an adequate ratio to the in crease in the fleet is a necessary element In naval development, and it should be especially emphasized that in this most Important matter war requirements, and not peace requirements, must always be kept In "view.' Some space is devoted to "the question of building vessels in the Navy-Yards. He says: "There are at the present time, in view of the prosperous condition of the ship building industry and the number of naval vessels building and appropriated for, sufficient work to permit the assignment of a portion of the building work to the Government yards without there being a question' of withholding of necessary sup port and assistance, the maintenance of which in a high state of efficiency is un questionably of National importance." He points out that England is building In her navy-yards 16 battle-ships and cruisers, France 17, Germany 8, Russia 6, and Italy 3, in their government yards. Concerning the batteries of the battle ships, be says: "The decision finally come to in the ar rangement of the batteries of the new battle-ships was a compromise between opinions. The merits and demerits of the superimposed turret have been under discussion, for some years. The comple tion of the first battle-ships to which the system fcos been applied, and the trials to which they have been subjected, dem onstrated only the mechanical practica bility of the system of mounting. It has been Tecognlzed from the commence ment of the discussion that there are grave disadvantages in this system of mounting. There is nothing In the ex perience with the two vessels recently completed tending either to show how they may he removed or to determine the extent of their effect upon the vessels In which this system is employed. The decision in the case of the recent ves sels has been reached in practically the same way as the decision relative to the first vessels to which the .system was ap plied, and is based upon the same pres entation of arguments pro and con. al though the Navy now possesses the means of determining practically, at any rate, a portion of the points at issue." Admiral Hlchborn deals at some length with the question of sheathing, and says: "It is a practical impossibility to pre vent such fouling that in a short time after the docking the speed is sensibly deducted, and after the lapse of a very few raonthB her speed capabilities are cut down 25 per cent to nearly 50 per cent, except by providing her with a wood eheata and coppered bottom. The process is an old one. Its practicability and free dom from injurious effect upon the fthlp to which it is applied, even the element of safety which it adds, have been fully demonstrated.' ' "Much of the prejudice against it," he adds, "is born of incomplete information as to what is really involved, and is of the same nature as that which opposed the introduction of steam navigation and steel ships. In speaking of the steel for naval vessels, it is pointed out that near ly 0,000,000 pounds of steel material has been inspected, passed and shipped dur ing the year by the inspectors and the Bureau of Construction and Repair, and presenting an increase of more than 100 per cent in two years in the quantity of this material required. The vastness of the figures gives some idea of the ex tent and importance of the operations car Tied on "under this bureau." Speaking of submarine noats, the re port says: "The past year has brought to fruition the experimental work of covering ay con siderable period, and has demonstrated the practicability of the submarine boat. There can be little doubt that to the first nations in the field with the new type will accrue not only the advan tages which will come from the posses sion of efficient vessels of this type, but the additional -advantage and saving In cost which will result from an early un derstanding of the new type and the modifications which its Introduction will force in existing types." TBe Kentucky "Will Soon Sail. NEW YORK, Oct 2L Captain Colby M. Chester, of the "battle-ship Kentucky, which started for China yesterday and re turned to TomplnsvUIe, S. L, last night, said -tpday that tho ship would be able to start on its trip Tuesday or Wednes day. x - -SaHors of the- Kentucky say when-ithe hattle-shlp put-to pea they were called Jto auartcTs and the 13-inch suns were -dls- charged. One of the big guns in the forward turret' would not go back to place.' The trouble was due -to an Im perfect valve. "The superimposed turrent had nothing to do with our coming back to port," said Captain Chester. "There Js no ques tion as to the mecfianlcal arrangements. In my judgment the turrets are much less liable to suffer disaster than If they were separate, like those carried by the Oregon, Massachusetts and vessels of that class." WON BY M'EACHERN. The 25-Mile Bicycle Race oa the Vallsburgr "Tract:. NEW YORK, OctTsi. Archie McEach ern won the 25-mlle professional bicycle race at the. Vallsburg track, Newark, N. J., today before 5G0O spectators. A story had been circulated before the race started that Kraemer. Wnlthour and Hatfield had formed a combination to shut out the out siders during the race, but the plan failed because of the superior riding of Aaron son and McEachern, who were a lap ahead of the others at the 23d mile. Summary: 25-mlle professional race, prizes at each five miles and at last lap Won by Mc Eachern, Toronto; Aaronson, Brooklyn, second: Kraemar, East Orange, third; time, 1:01:47.

WON ON A TECHNICALITY. Nctt Record for 15-Mile Indoor Paced Cycle Race. CHICAGO, Oct. 2L According to the referee, Johnny Nelson, of Chicago, de feated Jimmy Michaels by default in their match motor-paced race at the Col iseum tonight The chairman of the Na tional Cycling Association will have to render the final decision, as there is a controversy over the referee's verdict. The race was for 15 miles, and the men had an agreement that it either should meet with an accident during the first mile the race should be started over again. Michaels' motor broke down just as. he was finish ing the first mile, and he pulled up think ing he was inside" the safety limit. Nel son, who was leading when the accident happened, continued until stopped by the referee and told he had won, as Michaels refused to go- on, claiming he had not passed the mile mark when misfortune overtook him. The men then decided that in order to give the spectators their money's worth they would give a 15-mlle exhibition. Michaels won the race by three laps and broke all indoor paced records up to and including 15 miles. His time was 26:20. The former record was 27:04 1-5. KANSAS CITY'S HORSE SHOW.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2L The condition of ex-Secretary Sherman showed a de cided change for the worse today, and It is not believed he will survive the night. Last night was a very bad one for him, and he failed to recover any of his strength during the early hours of the morning, which was characteristic of the period of the critical stage of his sick ness. His naturally extremely enfeebled condition refuses to yield to treatment, and he Is sinking gradually. However, he shows extraordinary vitality for a man of his age, and because of this it is possi ble he may live through the night, though early In the evening his physician thought this hardly likely. Dr. W. Johnston came to the house early in the evening and Is constantly In attendance to relieve the needB of the dying man. A number of relatives gathered at the house on -K street, opppsite Franklin Square, during the evening, some of the more intimate of whom remained at the bedside of tho distinguished patient.

One or two of the keepers are badly bruised. After the patients had been given thelrj supper they were .taken back "to tnelr apartments with their keepers.

Feeling that it is necessary that every man should declare himself at this time as to his political views in the crisis which, now agitates our country,, I submit the following briefly expressed ideas as the reasons why I cannot support Mr. Bryan: v, - First The possibilities for'evjll, if free coinage obtained at this time, are beyond the range of human power to imagine"., If this 'is not possible, still the effort to sHotv good faitKln Its promotion, which Mr. Bryan is bound to make, lll transplant us ihtotne conditions- of four years ago. , , ' . J ... Expansion to any clime or country falling "to our lot, in tbe chances of war or (Otherwise, where the happiness or progress of the inhabitants can be promoted by 'our Institutions, is 'for our best . interests and greatest possibilities. The history off all- nations proves that when . they cease to expand they -begin to expire. If we. are Bo ignorant and corrupt as to make imperialism possible, the greater the empire, the more scope liberty will have to sustain her champions. Anti-expansion has led-the pseudo-Democratic party into the actual support moral,' if not otherwise of the enemies of our country, in armed "rebellion, where daily conflict occurs and the lives, of oUr vol unteer soldlttis are lost in'defeiisa of the legal and unquestioned au thority of our G6vernment."It-4s unpatriotic nd" a 'damnable exhibi tion of treason to 'all Governmental' authority; . it exhibits to the world a lack of patriotic unity necessary to sustain our pretensions of being a world-power at a time when mosfc we require it; it em bodies the elements of anarchy and revolution, and is an object-lesson for the lawless, and corrupting to the youth of our countryi Its advocacy has branded Bryan as a hypocrite and charlatan, who, liv ing approved the treaty ceding the Philippine Islands,' for the al leged purpose of preventing blopdshed, hasnever, by resolution, de mand or otherwise, requested his friends there ' to desist until the question is finally settled here.' A political party has no right, as good citizens, to make such an issue under such circumstances, and its advocacy shows a chronic state of political dyspepsia, incapable, of digesting either the good or bad acts of? its opponents, and' a morbid- desire -to tread the -measure of the Tories during the Revo lution, and the Federalists of 1812 and during the Mexican "War. Bryan's position today, for the first time, gives color to the claim of the Republicans, urged for a quarter of a century, that the Demo cratic party embraced all the, elements of 'rebellion and anarchy, and only needed opportunity to show its colors. This condition has the effect of putting the Southern people In 'a false light and impeaching their honesty in the war between the states.' The Southern people are expansionists at heart and are opposed to free coinage, but are misled by demagogues of the pseudo-Democratic party North, who do it for the chance" 'of the political preferment it may afford 'them. The same, influence has for the same purpose persuaded the same, party to- adopt- resolutions known as the pro-Boer proposition, there by insulting a friendly nationa very large majority of whose sub jects here have. sustained the Democratic cause resolutions which " not only. encouraged bloodshed; without a possibility of .resulting - benefits to the. misled burghers; -resolutions dfrectlycontraQictotjyto all; precedent in 'our history, that" we should not have any entangling' al liances with foreign, powers, s'uoh as the anti-expansion and pro Boer policies of Mr. Bryan .inevitably lead to. "We are asked to condemn all combinations of capital, without which our unparalleled progressive policy could not be maintained, as monopoly, and yet to give, the- unreserved strength -of the all binding arm of the Government to not only support but to subsi dize to the extent of at least 33 1-S per cent of its inherent value, the silver bullion and Bilver- mines of the country, under 'the theory of making it legal Render at the ratio of 16 to "L The burden of the Bryan cry is rebellion against a present condi tions and desire to overthrow them. He, offers to array .interde pendent classes against each other, encouraging dissatisfaction and unrest in all classes, notwithstanding we are in the foremost ranks o'f time in every respect Advocacy of these Ideas inevitably brings one "to a condition of unrest and to be dissatisfied with everything. The real condition of the individual bears no relation 'to his imag inings nor the state of -misery he 'has attained 'thereby. "When-' 'a party can find no other principle or basis upon which to advocate its claim to preferment,. I feel that It should be abandoned and should not have the support -of any one who really appreciates the conditions it offers in prospect ' ' , For these reasons I believe It "my duty, as it should be .that of every good citizen, to at once put the stamp of disapproval upon the doctrines advocated and the theories advanced for Mr. Bryan's elec tion. Having voted for Horace Greeley in 1872, and every Demo cratic nominee Bince that time, I take pride in saying that I cannot Bupport Mr. Bryan in the coming election upon the platform and principles he advocates.. '- - yr, T. BURNEY. e 9 0 9 were six or eight keepers. There were no suspicious movements on the part of the patients. But suddenly and without warning each keeper was attacked simul taneously by two or three patients, and heavy blows descended upon tho heads of the keepers. The keys held by the keepers were taken from them quickly, 1 and a rush for the door was made. 'The patients first passed through the dining room, where each picked from the table a heavy plate or cup or bowl. From "the dining-room they went through the ad joining rooms, the doors of which were, unlocked, and then into the long hall leading to -the rear exit. Through the yard they ran like deer, and crowded around tho big gate in the wall,' while one of their number was turning the key In the lock. When the gate was thrown open they rushed out of the yard, fairly tumbling over each other in their anx iety to gain freedom. . . In the meantime the keepers had recov ered suclently to give an alarm. Chase was given across the hospital farm, and all but seven of the patients were cap tured. The recaptured patients were taken back to the institution and secure ly locked up in other parts of the build-. lng. The searching parties started out no scour the woods in the vicinity of"" the hospital. The keepers who we're assault ed were given medical attention, and were able to join In the search for the fugi tives. . The Tevolt it Is thought, was. caused directly by the cramped quarters at the hospital. " " - Texas Tornado Kill Six.

Mr. Cherry, at that time was the leader of a second expedition organized" In the French Congo whioh followed closely tho one led by Marchand. Mr. Cherry on this trip- toolc with him, besides supplies for the French, a steel river steamer in sec tions, jand upon- his arrival on the bank of," the Nile, supervised the steamer's re constructipn.. This boat played an . Im portant part ia that international episode, as the intention of .France was to use .-the steamer in establishing French domi nation over the lands bordering on the Nile. On his return to the Congo country from Fashoda Mr. Cherry devoted a por tion of his. time, to the exploration of the hitherto unknown Klttu region, lying to the north of the Congo Free State and the French Congo country. The Klttu region is far removed from the portion of Central Africa with which Henry M. Stanley made tho world so familiar. It Is expected that Mr. Cherry will bring back considerable information of the so cial life and industries of a people nuver before visited, by a white man. The young Chicagoan also traveled over Equa torial Africa to correct any misleading Information about that country; He. has taken a series of photographs of the vari ous African tribes, and also added largely to tho collection of curios "secured on his first trip.'

BEST EQR THE COUNTRY AGUINALDO WRITES HEADERS TO " CEASE POLITICAL ATTEMPTS. Hint That Plans Are Maturing: Among Rebels in the Field Bearing on. Paciflcatloa. MANILA, Oct. 21. Senor Buencamlno has received what purportB to be a let ter from Aguinaldo ordering the former leaders,, of the revolution who are now in Manila to desist from the forma tion of political parties and to ce5.se. all their attempts at pacification. This let ter mysteriously hints that plans are maturing among the armed rebels in the Held, and -describes these as "best for the country." Senor Buencamlno de clares that the letter Is. genuine. . The military ' situation was compara tively quiet last week. The commission, the military authorities, the Filipinos and the foreigners are awaiting the result oi the Presidential election in the United States. Many persons assert that what ever this may be it will have np Imme diate effect on, the situation in the Phllippltiea and that disorders and guer rilla attacks will continue for a time. FILIPINOS AND THE FRIARS. President Tatt Taking; Testimony Natives Were Abnsed. ' MANIfcA, Oct. 21. Judge Taft, presi dent of tho American Commission, has beep engaged for somo time in taking a mass of Filipino testimony concerning the conduct and policy of the friars, this be lng a continuation of the Investigation Which began with the depositions of bish ops and members of monastic orders. The statements of the Filipinos go to show that the friars under the Spanish regime greatly abused their limitless political and religious powers over the community, and that the abuse of authority often led to Immorality. All tho testimony offered by the Filipinos shows that theyt do not de sire the return Of the friars to the par ishes. Archbishop Chapelle has gone to the more peaceful provinces of Northern Lu ion, accompanied by three Dominican friars. It Is generally believed he intends to re-establish these friars In certain par ishes, 'and the trip Is exciting the natives in Manila, who call .upon their country men to prevent the re-establlshment of any friar, on the ground that It would fix dangerous precedent for the future. -The Philippine Commission has passed a.. bill appropriating '$475,000,' gold, for tho payment of expenses Incurred for the ben efit of", the Insular government during Oc tober.' .Forces Returning Prom China.

GERMAN MONEY EASIER, Movement Toward Rapid Recovery Week on the Hoarse. BERLIN, Oct 21. The rapid decline of the private, discount rate -was the most striking feature of fast week's money market This was caused chiefly by sym pathy with London, and also by. tho ex cellent Relchsbank statement for October 15,.' Rates are now bo easy that financiers confidently expect ,f he Relchsbank' will continue the present rate1 through the Autumn. , The bank's metal stock stands 50,000,000 'narklT above the stock of last year, andita,oHscounts are ,163,000,000 marks vbelow. t v The movement at; the bank Is now to ward "a" VaprtT recovery. During the last three days of the past week the private discount (ell to 236. a fall of .. Call money la abundant at 2& per cent, and can be "obtained at""2 per cent, Foreign exohange rates also show a falling ten dency, and New York gold receipts from non-European sources last week caused a considerable feeling that New York will not draw Upon credits nere. THe Week's sensation on tho Bourse was in the obligations of certain mortgage banks while a violent break in quotations was caused by sales from a deceased banker's estate producing rumors of financial Unsoundness. These institutions began buying back their -4 per cents yes terday at 88 and their 3s at 85. Mean while prices fell off from 10 to 12 per cent The Reichsbank's " coal shares, amounting to 30,000,000 marks, were nearly twice over subscribed, but this Is not con sidered a brilliant result The subscrip tion price of Hamburg's new 4b will be 991. Cologne has received the govern ment's permission to 'issue a loan of 21, 000,000 marks, and Mayence has just placed 4,000,000 marks 4 per cents- at 97.40. Reports from the textile industries con tinue unsatisfactory, mora than half tho looms being idle at Achen, Greitz and Reiohenbak. Iron stocks increased 5195 tons during September in Silesia. The London Stock Market. LONDON, Oct 21. The cheapness of money last week stimulated consols and other high-class stock, but did not help some railway securities. These closed mostly lower on the week, although dis trict railway shares suddenly shot up three points on the strength of doubt ful rumors that an American' syndicate was trying to secure control of the line, with a view to introducing electrical trac tion. (Most departments closed firm yesterday owing to the Anglo-German agreement re garding China, although the full effect of this was not felt because the attendance on the stock exchange, as Is usual on Saturday, was small, the house belnK half empty. Consols were 1 11-16 easier at 98. Chi nese, securities showed an advance of points. The feature of the week, however, was the activity in 'Americans, which enjoyed quite a boom.
