ANATTAGKONEAGAN
Teller's Denunciation of the
ex-Commissary-General,
ALSO OF THE PRESIDENT
The Senate Had the Army Reorgani
zation Bill Under Consideration, '
Bat Blade Absolutely Ko
Progress With It.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Just at the
close of a day of dreary discussion of
technical details of the Army reorganiza
tion bill. Teller, speaking to an amend
ment he had offered, delivered a sensa
tional denunciation of General -Eagan, ex-Commlssary-General
of the United States
Army. His statement Included also the
Administration, because General Eagan
had been retired, according to the Colo
rado Senator's charge, as "a decoration
and a reward" for his attack upon the
commanding General of the Army. Ab
eolutely no progress was made with the
Army bill today, not a single amendment
being disposed of Anally.
At the opening of the session a bill
with reference to the employment of cler
ical assistance In the district of Alaska
was passed.
Wolcott presented the final report of the
Postal Commission. He explained that
the report would have been presented ear
lier had not Illness prevented.
Allison reported favorably from the
finance committee a bill concerning the
distilling of brandy from fruits, the idea
being to add cherries and figs to the list
of fruits Included In the present law. He
asked consideration for the bill today.
In response to a question from Petti
grew, Perkins explained that the bill was
to enable the horticulturists of California
to make temperance drinks from cherries
and syrup of figs. (Laughter.)
Pettlgrew objected, "because there Is no
proof that the brandy to be made Is a
temperance drink." The bill went over.
Consideration was then resumed of the
Army reorganization bill, the pending
question being an amendment offered by
Bacon, striking out that provision of the
bill authorizing the President to increase
the number of noncommissioned officers
and privates in any troop of cavalry. In
response to a question by Hawley, Bacon
declared that both the letter and spirit of
the Constitution were opposed to the Idea
of conferring upon the President discre
tionary power to Increase the size of the
Army. Such power was vested only In
Congress, and the transfer of such author
ity was a departure from the principles
fixed by 100 years of American history.
"This question Is not going to be de
cided by the passage of this bill," ex
claimed Bacon. "The people have not
waked up to and realized the enormity of
this proposition. They will, however, and
they will correct the evils."
After some desultory discussion. Bacon
withdrew his amendment and offered an
other, introducing the words, "during the
present exigency of the service," so that
the clause would read: "Provided, that
the President, during the present exigency
of the service, in his discretion, may in
crease the number of Corporals in any
"troop of cavalry to eight and the number
of privates to 76."
Discussing the phrase, "exigency of the,
service," Caffery said he presumed It was
"the Presidential Idea of war in the Phil
ippines." Mallory said it was possible an exigency
might arise for the use of an army in
Cuba.
Speaking for the amendment last offered
by Bacon, Foraker maintained that the
Army of 5S.0C0, the minimum size of the
Army fixed by the pending measure, was
not a large force In all countries. In the
view of the committee, for caring for
coast fortifications, and In view, too, of
the probable early construction of the
Nicaragua Canal, every soldier provided
for in the present bill would be needed.
With reference to the conference of au
thority upon the President to Increase the
size of the Army within a maximum limit,
Foraker declaredk "It Is not only not a
departure from principle, but It is dis
tinctly In line with precedents," citing
Beveral.
Allison declared there was no purpose
in the pending bill to pass the authority
of Congress to the President. Congress
always would have the situation in hand.
It would be able at any time to Increase
or decrease the size of the Army. The
power conferred by the bill upon the Pres
ident could be exercised only with the
consent of Concress.
Hawley made an appeal to the Senate to
cease discussion and pass the bill. "Twen
ty thousand men," said he. "will have to
cross the Pacific before July 1, and yet,
the Senators here are discussing matters
that were settled long ago. I beg you let
this bill go through and start the work
of raising troops to relieve the boys In
the Philippines."
Spooner advocated conferring upon the
President greater discretionary authority
to Increase the size of the Army,.
Mallory said he could see no reason why
Congress should take "the dangerous and
"unprecedented step contemplated by the
bill." Further dlsculon of the Bacon
amendment was postponed until tomor
row. An amendment was offered by Teller, to
that section of the bill which authorizes
the President to retire any officer who
has been suspended from duty, either by
sentence of court-martial or by executive
order. In mitigation of such sentence,
striking out the words "has been" and
substituting therefor "shall be hereafter."
After saying that the section had been
incorporated In the bill for the purpose of
enabling the President to retire General
Eagan, ex-Commlssary-General of the
Army, Teller declared it was retained In
the bill In order that an officer of the
Army, Major Joseph W. Wham, might
be gotten rid of. "He cannot be gotten
rid of In any other way," said Teller,
"and he ought not to be gotten rid of In
any circumstances."
Teller adverted to the case of General
Eagan at some length. "Of the beef fur
nished the Army," he said. "It was boiled
and canned, and of very ancient lineage,
some of which had made a trip to Europe
and back, being fed to our soldiers after
It had been condemned by European gov
ernments." Teller denounced General
Eagan in sensational language. "A3 an
officer of the United States Army," said
he, "he made an exhibition of himself and
showed himself to be a miserable black
guard " Referring to General Eagan'a
denial of General Miles' charges as to
"embalmed beef," Teller declared: "His
language was brutal and low. and so bad
It could not be overlooked, although there
twas a very evident desire to overlook It."
Teller made a stinging attack upon the
President for having retired General Ea
gan. asserting that the "retirement in the
circumstances was a decoration, and not
a punishment, and many of the American
people believe it was a decoration and a
reward for his attack upon the General
commanding the Army "
At the conclusion of Teller's statement.
Carter, one of the members of the mili
tary affairs committee, addressed the Sen
ate in an appeal for the passage of the
pending measure at an early date. He
said that on the Pacific there were only
eight transports at the disposal of the
Government for the transportation of
troops to and from the Philippines. By
beginning the work of transporting the
troops at once they might be able to com
plete it by July 1. the date of the expira
tion of the present law Otherwise, it
mifiht be necessary to mploy special ves
sels, the chartering and fitting up of
which "would Involve Immense expense.
"I think the Senate ought to know,"
said Carter, "that each day's delay In
the passage of this bill will involve an ad
ditional expenditure of at least $500,000."
"I suggest." said Cockrell, also a mem
ber of the military affairs committee,
"that the Senator ought to have made
this statement earlier in the session, and
not to have waited until a majority had
left the chamber."
Carter Bald tomorrow he would ask the
Senate to fix a day for the final vote upon
the measure. Teller declared Immediately
that he would object a any date being
fixed for a final vote. He said he had not
unduly obstructed the consideration of
the bill, but the propositions contained in
it were of such a character as to demand
full debate. If the party in power, said
he, desired to facilitate its passage, the
Senate could be asked to meet at 11 o'clock
each day.
"This bill is not a party measure," sug
gested Carter. "It was reported to this
body by a committee composed of men of
all parties. If the Senator from Colorado
insists upon considering it as a party
measure"
"That Is a gratuitous insult," shouted
Teller.
"I was about to say," continued Car
ter, "that if the Senator from Colorado
desires to make this a party measure, he
will find it difficult to get a following In
this chamber."
Teller then renewed his suggestion that
the Senate meet at 11 o'clock, or at 9
o'clock, or at any other hour. "I don't
care If this delay does cost $500,000 a day.
It Involves the creation of a great stand
ing Army that will cost the Government
millions upon millions of dollars after we
are dead and gone."
Carter then moved that when the Sen
ate adjourn It be until 11 o'clock tomor
row. Pettlgrew Interposed with a motion
to adjourn, and Anally the Senate, at 5:55
o'clock, adjourned until noon tomorrow.

HAZING INVESTIGATION.
Congressional Committee Deter
mined to Institute Reforms.
WEST POINT, N. Y., Jan. 14. The
Congressional Investigating committee
held three sessions at the West Point
Military Academy today- The first two
sessions and the greater part of the night
session were occupied In the examination
of Lewis Brown, Jr., of Newport, who
was one of Keller's seconds In his fight
with Booz.
From the line of examination adopted
by tihe committee, the Congressmen are
evidently bent on the abolition of hazing
and fighting at the academy. They put
Brown through an exhaustive examina
tion. In the course of which they elicited
the fact that In violation of the rules and
regulations of the Institution the upper
class men carry Intoxicating liquors into
the reservation, and consume a consid
erable quantity of it. Another stringent
rule seems to have been broken with Impunity-
This Is the regulation prohibiting
smoking. Cadet Brown acknowledged
that the majority of the cadets were cig
arette smokers, and that plenty of cigar
ettes were smuggled Into the Institution.
General Dick, Judge Smith and Mr.
Drlggs handled Brown without gloves.
Mr. Drlggs told him that the first-class
men thought they were the whole thing,
and Judge Smith said that they were
conceited, arrogant and Indignant in their
presumption of putting their Judgment
against that of the authorities of the
academy.

POSTAL INVESTIGATION
CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION FILES
ITS REPORT.
Means Suggested for Reducing Ex
pensesFive Reports on Rail
way Mall Pay Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lt-The postal
commission of the House and Senate,
which has been investigating postal mat
ters for tho last two years, made Its re
port today. The committee reports In fa
vor of excluding from the second-class
mall rate, first, books, whether bound or
unbound; second, newspapers and period
icals unsold, sent by a news agent to
another news agent or returned to the
publisher; third, sample copies of news
papers above a certain small, fixed pro
portion of the circulation. The commis
sion also unanimously reports against the
continuance of the system of transmitting
malls through pneumatic tubes under
present conditions. The commission unan
imously reports that neither a change In
the postage nor the establishment of a
system of parcels post Is practicable un
der existing conditions of revenue and
expenditure, even If otherwise desirable,
upon which no opinion Is expressod.
Upon the question of railway mail pay,
there are five reports:
First, a report signed by Wolcott and
Allison, which declares that the present
rate of railway mall pay Is not excessive
and ought not to be changed, except by
the discontinuance of the appropriations
for special facilities, which It declares
should be discontinued.
Second, a report signed by Loud, con
curring with the last-named report ex
cept hat It recommends the adoption of
railway mall payments in accordance with
space occupied, instead of by the meth
ods now prescribed by law.
Third, a report signed by Moody, which
declares that, upon the evidence, the rail
way mail pay Is not excessive, but recom
mends further investigation as to the
prevailing methods of loading postal cars,
and Inquiry Into the question whether the
methods may not bo corrected so as to
result In a saving without Injury to the
carrier. In this report Catchlngs concurs.
Fourth, a report signed by Martin and
Catchlngs, dissenting from the views of
the other members of the commission
with regard to the discontinuance of ap
propriations for special facilities.
Fifth, a report signed by Fleming. In
which he states that he thinks there
should be some reduction In the present
rate of railway mall pay, either by a 5
per cent reduction generally, and a still
further reduction on the routes where the
volume of traffic Is greatest, or In case
the suggestions are not adopted, by a
change In the special pay for postal cars.
Chandler does not Join In any report,
owing to his absence from Washington.
Fleming also holds that the Government
should pay for the transportation of Post
offlco officials when traveling as passen
gers In passenger cars. Free transporta
tion for mail men should, he thought, be
confined to mall cars.
The Oleomargarine BUI.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Secretary Gage
was before the Senate committee on ag
riculture today to answer Inquiries con
cerning the oleomargarine bill. He said
the bill, as a revenue-producer, wa3 use
less, and was not needed. If It was not a
revenue bill it was a misnomer and ob
jectionable on that ground. Ho said the
revenue under the present law was well
collected, although there were some
losses. He explained that many of the
Inspectors were not experts and could not
detect oleomargarine without analysis.
He also said that there was not an ade
quate force to see that tiio oleomargarine
law was carried out In every particular.
He pointed out that there were 4000 deal
ers In Chicago, and that it would be Im
possible to watch them all.
For a Court of Pension Appeals.

ter, of Topeka, and John Palmer appeared

ing as premature, and the opposition to
tho fight, for the first time for over a
week, was not heard from. Meantime, the
Saengerfest Athletic Association proceed
ed with their work at the hall, and let
more contracts. But the most Important
development In favor of the Saengerfest
Athletic Association was the signing of a
petition by over 100 members of the Cham
ber of Commerce In favor of the pulling
off of the fight here as scheduled. The
business men nearly all are with the club
for the fight. Unless the political leaders
now give an ultimatum against the club,

NEW YORK'S CRUSADE.
Felix Adler on the Degradation
the City and the' Remedy.
of
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Felix Adler, In
his talk on "The Degradation of Great
Cities, and the Remedies," before the So
ciety for Ethical Culture in Carnegie Hall
last night, asked, "What Is a bad city?"
and answered himself by saying, "New
York."
"In New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago we have put the burglar In charge of
the bank," he continued. "That'ls all the
trouble. In this city the maintenance of
law Is in the hands of those who are proflt
lng by the violation of law. The whole
movement for reform means simply to
depose that burglar and all the others who
proAt by the violation of law. There is
at present what Is called an 'anti-vice
crusade' In the City of New York, and
many of those who at present feel out
raged by the conduct of our city gov
ernment are not without guilt themselves.
It Is because the forces of corruption
have passed the line which even the
worldly minded driw that tho present
gust of Indignation has come.
"There are social vices which have al
ways existed, and which, doubtless, for
a long time will continue to exist. The
trouble Is that they have been artificially
pampered and positively encouraged. The
vile stream has overflowed its banks and Is
bearing the children away on Its terrible
flood, it is that fact which has evoked
the storm of protest.
"Now this state of affairs exists In all
the large cities of the country. And at
the root of all the trouble Is partisan
dictatorship the boss system, as It is
called. Of course the people want a
scapegoat. At present It happens to bo
the gentleman with the conspicuous per
sonality who has the kindness to run the
City of New York for us. People even
talk as -If the whole trouble would be
mended as soon as we give him his conge.
Such talk is, of.course, futile. The older
persons here remember hls predecessor,
and I am afraid you of the younger gen
eration may have cause to remember his
successor.
"The power of the boss rests on the In
come which he -controls. This Is, In the
flrst place, from patronage which has been
In part cut off from his control by the
civil service regulations. The fanatics of
civil service reform, however, overlook
the fact that as this particular source of
Income was taken away one came up
through the corporations.
The boss has benefits to confer and fear
to Inspire. And in the places inthelr em
ployment he has an entirely new means
of reward. The next step must be to cut
off his control over corporations.
"An officer of a corporation recently said
to me: 'I hate and despise myself.'
"The third source of the power of the
boss Is crime." He gets supplies from jail
birds. It Is not enough for us to stop the
mischief in the red-light district. It Is
not enough to bring a few individual
offenders to condign punishment. This 13
not merely an 'antl-vlce crusade:' there
never was a greater misnomer. We must
cut off this line of supplies to the be
sieged citadel if we wish to destroy the
power of the boss."
For the flrst time since he left this city
to aka up his work In Washington the
Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmago appeared on
the platform of the Academy of Music
last nlsht. Ten thousand people were
present to welcome him. The occasion
was the 20th anniversary of the Bowery
Mission, where Dr. Talmage was one of
he founders. The programme Included Dr.
R. S...McArthur. Dr. A. C. Dixon, J. Wil
bur Chapman and others.
Superintendent J. G. Halllmond, of the
Mission, In opening the exercises said the
crusade for the purification of the city
had opened up a new world of effort to
the mission and that It was In the fore
front of the Aght. Dr. Talmage declared
that the crusade would result In the,.re
demotion of New York. 1
"The sympathies of good people every-
where," said he, "are with the men who?
are trying to purify this city. New York"
will be taken for God. The century opens
with the brightest prospects of any cen
tury that has gone before.
"We have read at a distance of the ef-,
forts that are being made to purge this
city of Its vice and Immorality, and some
have said, 'It can't be done. New York
cannot be saved.' But I tell you Newf
York can be saved and it will be saved.

tonight decided to support Hon. Thomas
M. Patterson, of Denver, for United
States Senator, to succeed Senator Ed
ward O. Wolcott. There are 91 Fuslon
lsts In the Legislature. Including Demo
crats, Populists and Silver-Republicans,
and of these 87 were In tho caucus. Mr.
Patterson received 74 votes on the first
ballot.
The public was surprised early this
evening by the announcement that ex
Governor Charles S. Thomas, who has
been Mr. Patterson's leading opponent,
had withdrawn from the race. His name
did not go before the caucus. The total
vote of the Legislature on Joint ballot is
100.
Thomas M. Patterson was born in Ire
land, November 4, 1840. With his parents
he came to America in 1853. After a short
residence in New York the family re
moved to Crawfordsvllle, Ind., where
Thomas worked for some time In a print
ing office. He wa educated in Asbury
(now Depauw) University. He enlisted
at the first call for troops, but served
only a few months on account of poor
health. Ho read law and practiced his
profession for a time in Indiana. In 1873
he came to Denver and formed a partner
ship with Hon. Charles S. Thomas, who, it
Is interesting to note, was hiB leading
opponent In the Senatorial contest Just
closed. This partnership lasted a year,
but was resumed In 1879, and continued
until 1S90. In 1874, Mr. Patterson wa3
chosen Territorial Delegate to Congress,
and greatly aided In securing statehood
for Colorado, tn 1876 he was sent back
to Congress, this time as a Representa
tive. At the end of his term Mr. Patter
son resumed the practice of law In Den
ver. In 1890 he purchased a controlling in
terest in the Rocky Mountain News, to
the conduct of which he has since very
largely devoted his time. Mr. Patterson
Is second vice-president of the Associated
Press.
SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Fight Is Close With the Chances In
Quay's Favor.
HARRISBURG. Pa., Jan. 14. The ill
ness of certain Senators and members
has Intensified the feeling existing as to
the result of tlfe contest for United States
Senator. Neither side can tell with cer
tainty how many, If any, of Its follow
ers will be absent when the Senate and
House vote separately tomorrow noon.
Everybody admits that the fight Is
very close, with the chances in
Colonel Quay's favor, but that he can
not afford to lose many votes by the ab
sence of his followers. Should he re
ceive 127 votes, or four more than were
cast for him In joint Republican caucus,
which nominated him, he will be elected.
The two houses will vote separately to
morrow and If Quay or any other candi
date should receive the requisite 127 votes,
the Senate and House will meet Jointly
Wednesday to canvass the vote and de
clare an election.
There Is every indication tonight that
the bitter struggle will terminate tomor
row with the election of Quay. The Dem
ocrats will vote for Colonel J. M. Gtfffey,
of Itsburg, and the anti-Quay Repub
licans are expected to distribute their
vptes among several "favorite sons." The
House and Senate will vote separately at
3 o'clock t6morrow afternoon, and the
probabilities are that Mr. Quay's com
bined vote will not fall short of 130. There
Is nothing to Indicate tonight that there
will not be an election on the flrst ballot,
or that there will be another deadlock
similar to that of 1899, when the Legisla
ture adjourned after taking 79 ballots
without making a choice.
Quay had 130 votes In the caucus held a
week ago. Tonight Representative
Thompson, of Center County, and Mr.
Reynolds, of Lackawanna, who have here
tofore been acting with the anti-Quay Re
publicans, announced their intention to
vote for Quay tomorrow. The Quay peo
ple claim that others who have opposed
the ex-Senator will be found tomorrow on
the Quay side of the ballot.
A meeting of the Republican Senators
and members pledged to oppose Mr.
Quay's election was held this afternoon
Senator Flynn, of Allegheny, said that all
the members were present except four.
"The only news from these absentees was
from Mr. Reynolds," said Senator Flynn,
"It being conceded that he had-succumbed
to the Influence of the machine. All the
gentlemen present were as strong to op
pose the election of Quay."
DOCKERY INAUGURATED.
Missouri's Sew Governor Booms the
St. Louis Fair.
JEFFERSON, Mo., Jan. 14. Hon. A. M.
Dockery was inaugurated Governor of
Missouri at noon today In the presence
of both branches of the Legislature. Gov
ernor Dockery In his inaugural address
spoke at some length of needed leg-'
lslatlon and touched briefly on the
world's fair to be held In St. Louis, In 1903.
to commemorate the 100th anniversary
of the Louisiana purchase. He said:
"We may confidently announce that this
exposition. In the variety and magnitude
of its display, will be unsurpassed in all
time and will bring to our state and me
tropolis the representatives of all the
nations of the earth."
The Governor then said:
"We are the agents of tho people, and
It should be our constant effort to prove
ourselves worthy of the exalted trust Im
posed In us. To promote the public good
should be our aim and tireless endeavor.
"
pe
AH sinister efforts to estrange our peo-
by attempting to array one class
against another should be shunned as
. the pestilence that walketh In darkness
It Is an occasion of real pleasure that I
am able to enter upon the duties of the
'chief magistracy without having one igno
ble appear to class prejudice. I have not
posed as the special exponent or champion
of any one class, however worthy It may
be. I renew my pledge to be Governor of
all the people; and as God gives me
strength of will and integrity of purpose
I will not betray them, but will deal Just
lv with them and with each and all of the
'diversified Interests of this proud and
Y progressive state." v
CAUCUSES AT HELENA.
Clark, Carter and Mantle Were Nom
inated. HELENA, Mont, Jan. 14. The Demo
cratic Senatorial caucus tonight was at
tended by 37 members, every one of whom
voted for William A. Clark for the po
sition now held by Thomas H. Carter. It
Is confidently believed Clark will have a
majority in both houses and be elected
tomorrow. The Democrats took no action
on the short term Senatorshlp.
The Republican caucus nominated
Thomas H. Carter for the long term by a
vote of 29, the full RepubUcan strength In
the Legislature. Ex-Senator Lee Man
tle was nominated for the short term
There will in all probablUty be a prolonged
contest over the short term, there being
several Democrats in the race.
The Utah Legislature.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 14. The fourth
sossion of the Utah Legislature convened
and organized today by th& election of
A. J- Evans, presld-ent of the Senate, and

House. The two houses will meet In
joint session at 2 o'clock tomorrow to lis
ten to the reading of the Governor's mes
eage. The law provides that tho flrst
ballot for United States Senator shall be
taken January 22, and it is.not likely that
much legislation will be undertaken until
the Senatorial question lac disposed of.
Caucuses In Delaware.
DOVER, DeL. Jan. 14. Two distinct
caucuses were held tonight over the con
test for United States Senators from Dela
ware. The Democrats met early in the
evening and transacted their business
with surprising dispatch. Willard Salis
bury "was nominated for the Senatorial
vacancy caused by the failure of the last
Legislature to elect a successor to George
Gray. For the full term, to succeed United
States Senator Kenney, Mr. Kenney was
nominated, and the Democrats" resolved
to stand tegether. It is believed, however,
that on a deal to beat Addlcks, the Demo
crats will go Into caucus again for a Dem
ocratic nominee to run with the regular
Republican nominee.
Senator Hoar Renominated.
BOSTON, Jan. 14. Senator Oeorge F.
Hoar was today renominated as candidate

lican Senators of Massachusetts. The

T. Durbln was Inaugurated Governor of

Bill Against Kidnaping.
NA9HVILLLE, Tenn., Jan. 14. A bill
making kidnaping a capital offense was
introduced in the House today by Repre
sentative Steel, of Bedford.
DEWITTE IN FAVOR.
With Other Ministers, He Receives a
Present From the Czar.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 14. Sunday the
representative of the Associated Pre3s
was lriformed on good authority that Em
peror Nicholas, from his private means,
had presented M. Dowitte, Minister of
Finance; General Kourapatine, Minister
of War, and Count Lamsdorff, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, 200,000 rubles each, as
an expression of his gratification over
the development of Manchurlan affairs,
the protection of the railway, and the
suppression of disturbances In Manchuria.
According to the budget, the cost of the
war to date is 62,000,000 rubles. It Is pro
posed to devote 130,000,000 rubles to rail
ways In 1901 and not to negotiate a loan.
This favorable budget unquestionably
strengthens M. Dewitte, and It Is expected
that the Czar will signally recongize his,
services. Reports emanating from certain
Ministers assert that M. Dowitte will be
come Imperial Chancellor on the Russian
Ne-p- Year, with superior directive powers
all over the departments of the govern
ment. Some persons who are usually well
Informed regarding such matters doubt
the story, which naturally cannot be con
firmed. At all events. M. Dewltte's slaV
is evidently in the ascendant. His lovo
of peace, his determination to develop
Russia's Internal resources, and his pro
fessed American sympthles are sufficient
reasons why the world, especially Amer
ica, can congratulate Russia, Russia has
had Chancellors Intermittently. The laBt
was Prince Gortschakoff, who died short
ly after the Berlin Congress.
ENGLAND'S TTAVAL PROGRESS.
Not Much Done In the Matter Last
- Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. England, al
though the first naval power In the world,
has not much to boast about in the mat
ter of naval progress in 1900, says the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
Not a single battleship was launched
during the 12 months two first-class ar
mored cruisers, one third-class cruiser,
four sloops and eight destroyers complet
ing the list and no real progress has
been made with this year's programme,
except in the case of the two new second-class
cruisers, as the contracts for
six new armored cruisers have only just
been given out, and the first keel-plates
of the two new battleships will not be
laid until the end of March.
It Is some consolation to Englishmen
to know that France's naval progress at
the same time has been greatly retarded,
owing to the delay in delivering mate
rials. Russia made great strides last
year, and In naval progress competition
among the powers she easily heads the
list. Germany coming next and Japan
third, while England only secured fourth
place. Russia completed and commis
sioned two first-class battleships, one
first-class armored cruiser and eight de
stroyers. The rapidity of Russian shipbuilding
was one of the features of tho year. The
armored cruiser Gromobos, a formidable
vessel of 12,000 tons, which was only laid
down at the Baltic works, St. Peters
burg, in May, 1898, is now en route to
China.
. Plot Asalnat the Csar.
NICE, Jan. 14. The police have arrested
Prince Victor Nakadchivez, a Russian, on
the charge of plotUng to take the life of
the Czar, on the latter's approaching visit
here. Prince Nakadchlvez, who is a nihi
list, was condemned to death in Russia as
an accomplice In the conspiracy of 18S6
against the life of Alexander ni, grand
father of the present Czar. He was also
convicted In Paris of being Illegally In the
possession of explosive machines.
Snow-Bound Trains Arrive.
LONDON, Jan. 15. The Odessa corre

of the experiences of the railway passen
gers who were snow-bound while on the

"All tho trains have now arrived here.
The drifts have hardened to the consist
ency of ice, and in one case a tunnel had
to be cut tnrougn a anit wu yaras long
and 2S feet deep. Many passengers who
had attempted to walk here were found
by sleighing parties, frozen to death."
