SLOW ON WARSHIPS Behind Contract Time Construction. in THI.Q PFPUITQ lUPDnUCUrUTC Jjess Povrer Required to Drive New Vessels One battle-Skip and Six Toreo-Boats Added to Navy in Past Year. "WASHINGTON; Oct- ft2.-"Fxogress upon new vessels under construction during the past year has not been sat isfactory." says Rear-Admlral Bowles, Chief of the Naval Bureau of Construc tion, In his annual repprt to the Secre tary of the Navy. All the larger ves sels, he says, have been delayed bv non delivery of structural steel, while the vessels building at San Francisco were 6et back by the 10 months' strike, and tho hold out of the workmen at Seattle prevented any actual progress on the structure of the hull of the battleship Ne braska building there. The delay in the deliveries of armor for the battleships Maine, Missouri and Ohio and the mon-i itors Arkansas, Florida, Nevada and "Wyoming has retarded tho these vessels, concurrently with other causes. The Inability of shipbuilders to uuiuin a sumcient lorce of skilled work ers also has been in many cases an im portant factor in the slow nrosrress. The battleshlD Ohio Is shown tn hnvo been 29 months behind her contract on xne nrst of July, The battleship Mis soar! is over 20 months behind. Th mn. Jority of the battleships and cruisers are over 10 months behind, and some of tho torpedo craft are mo're than 40 months behind the date of completion stipulated in their contracts. However, Admiral Bowles says that the extensive delays on the torpedo-boats are being terminated by the newly-modified conditions for their oeuvery. The contractors delay In bejrfnnine con structlori of the Virginia, Pennsylvania and St Louis, the Chief Constructor vuiuui oui, gave nis Dureau an opportu nlty to make a careful revision of the general plans of those war vessels, which, be says, will result In a considerable improvement In their military value arid la their habltabillty. The plans for the turrets for the Virginia class were de veloped In more detail. An entire re arrangement of Hhe scheme for the stow age of ammunition was made and par ticular attention was given to an effl clent scheme for coallne. The ships added to the nivy during the past year are the battleship Illinois and the torpedo craft Decatur, Perry, Preble, BIddle. Thornton and "Wilkes. Substantial and encouraging progress is reported in the standardization of ship fittings, a scheme to secure uniformity In the innumerable types of ship's parts, which has long been fostered by the Con struction Bureau. More Officers Needed. Admiral Bowles says there continues to be an urgent necessity for an Increase in the number of officers of the Con struction Corps. The principal navy yards. It Is stated, have an insufficient number of officers for the performance of regular duties. He renews "his recom mendation for an Increase of this corps from 40 to GO members. The report says the advantages of special Instruction In naval architecture and marlne engineer ing In the United States became mere evident last year. The Bureau of Construction is now enabled, by co-operation with the fac ulty or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to regulate the technical education .appropriately and to offer the students and their Instructors constant opportunities for observation of the building and repair of all classes of ves sels, both at private shipyards and at the navyyards of the Government. Admiral Bowles points out that the policy of Congress for some years past has been against the construction of new vessels in the navyyards. and as a result the development and Improvement of the yards in matters such as quay falls, slips, location of buildings, etc., bave not been generally directed toward efficient arrangements for shipbuilding. The Admiral Is of the opinion that It should be the policy of the Navy Depart ment so to arrange the navyyard plants that they will be efficient for .shipbuilding, which is, in reality, he says, one of the most important functions they may be required to perform. Experimental Model Basin. An Interesting portion of the report Is that in regard to the work of the ex perimental model basin, in which min iature warships are tried, and It Is stated that the basin has proved of great value to the Construction Bureau. A number of experiments have been made in the basin during the past year to determine the most desirable forms of the new bat tleshlps and armored cruisers. It Is wholly to tho basin facilities that the bureau has been enabled to arrive at the very satisfactory results that the new armored cruisers of tho Tennessee class, iteplaclng 14,500 tons, may be expected to make a speed of 22 knots with power actually somewhat less than the preced ing lot of armored crulBers of the Penn sylvania class of the same speed, which displaces 13.6S0 tons. Similarly, the two new lG,000-ton battleships of the Con necticut class will drive appreciably -easier at 18 knots than the preceding battleships of 14,948 tons. Thus an in crease of 7 per cent In size in the case of the battleships and of over 6 per cent in size of the armored cruisers has been accomplished with an actual reduction of horse-power necessary to drive them at a given speed In each case. The ship builders of the country have continued to avail themselves of the facilities of the model basin in connection with their commerdlal work. During the fiscal year experiments were made for private ship builders at their expense, with five mod els, and experiments are under way now, or authorized, Tvith four models for four private concerns.

PARIS, Oct 12. Judge William D. Pen Held, of the United States State Depart ment Arcbblshoo Riordnn. of Cisco, and others who were prominent at The Hague during the recent sessions of tne international Court of Arbitration, which heard the arguments in the Pius FunLcase between the United States and Mexico, has arrived here. Judge Penfleld says the court s decision in the matter may be rendered during the coming week ana mat in all events it will be- given within the present month. Tp a repre sentative of the Associated Pross Juries Penfleld gave an onlnion of thi sfnhla nt the Plus Fund case and made certain ob-, servaaons upon the general Influence -vymcn j.ne liague tribunal is. exerting in behalf of America. He said: "Although the decision of the court is doubtful I feel confident of a favorable result. The court practically narrowed the issue to a question of res Judicata, and inquiries made by members of the court Indicated a tendencr favorable to biuun on tms issue. If this assumption proves correct, it Is then only a question of figures to ascertain the amount due, and which is something over a million uunare. "The COUrt COm.'ients nnnn thnWlinr. oughnesa of the American presentation of the case. Tho United States furnished practically the entire evidence, transcripts, etc. Mexico furnished practically noth ing, not even copies of the Mexican nremves in her exclusive control, and which were required under the protocol. As a result of these facts, the American recora was all the court had and Mexico relied upon a generalized argument" Commenting upon the broad intecnatlon- ai aspects of The Hague organization, Judge Penfleld said: The Hague tribunal is accomplishing Important results for America. Arbitration Is not taken as seriously in Europe as It is in me unitca estates. We observed an undercurrent of cynicism respecting arbi tration which Is regarded as sentimental and ideal. The American idea of treating International trbitration seriously is be ginning to exert its influence so it prom ises to overcome European prejudice and to lead to a general acceptance of the principal. Another important influence of The Hague tribunal Is that it is acquaint ing Euiope with real Americanism, in Europe they hardly understand our Idea of the equality of man; the Individual counts for little there. ThST International Arbitration Court gives us our first op portunity of presenting to the bid World our exalted ideals concerning the rights of the people and that the function of government is the protection of th indi vidual.

Tonight it look3 as though there will be very little or no increase in the production of coal during the next week. The miners remain firm. The appeal Issnpd American Federation" celved with satisfaction by the strikers, but the paragraph which asserted that the miners were willing to leave their differ ences in the hands of J. P.

NEW ORLEANS STRIKE, ENDED. Men Go to Work Without Winning and Without Prejudice. NEW ORLEANS. Oct 12. Th strik of street railway employes.' which has effectually blockaded trafflc on all city lines for two weeks, was settled tonight at 6 o'clock by the union agreeing almost unanimously with the Governor's ulti matum. Negotiations which began last nignt contmuea until this morning, when the executive board decided to submit the matter to a general meeting of the men mis arternoon. The general basis of the agreement is that the men will go back to work In the morning, at 20 cents and 10 hours, with a minimum of seven hours a day; no discrimination to bo made against any of the men under charges, and as many to be taken back as are needed for the operation of the lines The hitch this morning was on the taking back of the men under charges, but the railway company Anally conceded this, al lowing tne courts to decide the guilt of tne men. The credit for the settlement la larsralv due to Hon. W. S. Parkinson, who took up the cause of the strikers yesterday morning and labored lndefatlgably all night and all day. convincing them that they could hope -for riothiner better and that they could not prevail against tho military sent here.

Oct. 12 The Brauerm Steamship Company, operating between Philadelphia and New York and Hamburg, Is reported to have purchased for Impor tation to this country 20,000 tons of an thracite coal from Germany, and 15.000 tons from Southern Russia. The latter Is to be shipped from Southern Russia during October and November. The hulk of the coal that will come from Germany will be reimportation of Penn sylvania stove and, chestnut grade export- ea to trermam' and purchased of tho Phil adelphia & Reading Company. ;ine isntiah ship Mariner Is scheduled to sail from -Hamburg for Philadelphia with the first cargo about October 15.

An Innocent Man Killed Want Bet ter Priy. PARIS, Oct 12. It now aDDears that only one man was killed during the en counter at the Terre Noire coal field, October 10, between strikers and gend armes, and that the victim was not con nected with the strike. Nevertheless the miners' committee has issued a mani festo denouncing the killing of this man as murder and attacking the government for utilising gendarmes and soldiers against the strikers. The funeral of the Terro Noire victim. which will occur tomorrow, may lead to trouoie, as the strikers Intend to- demon- atrate at the funeral, and as the socialists dacjara they will carry red flags, which is prohibited; The principal, "feature in the strike situation today is the division which is forming In the ranks at the strikers. Those of the Pas de Calais district and the Department du Nord, who are.-the most numerous, decline to mix the ques tions of an eight-hour day and old-age pensions into the strike, as the central committee of the. Federation of Miners decided to do, and declare' that they are striking purely for an Increase in wages. The local committees of the miners In these districts have asked the prefects to intervene with the mine owners with a view of securing a settlement Tho central committee, through an Is-, sued manifesto, calls the Pas de Calais and Nord committees to obedience. The" divergence Is likely to influence the dur ation of the strike. May Involve All Harriman Lines. OMAHA Oct. 12. Thomas F. Wilson, fourth vice-president of the International Association of Machinists, today stated that the strike of shoDmen now belnc conducted by him against the Union Pa- cinc Railroad may be carried to all of tho Harriman lines. He said such a re sult depended largely on the action of tho annual meeting of the Union Pacific, which will be held in Salt Lake City on October 14. An indorsement by that meet ing of the strike and the piece-work sys tem, said he, will be considered sufficient cause for carrying the strike to other Harriman lines. .

TRIBUTES TO DOGS. Inscriptions on Stones That Mark Graves in Hyde Park. McCall's Magazine. Hyde Park, in London, is one of the most famous parks In the world. Every traveler goes there; but there is one part of It that scarcely any tourist knows about or goes to see. This Is the dogs' cemetery, which is over ,by the Victoria Gate, and is a spot full of Interest. For nearly a year no new grave has been dug there. The ground is all occupied. But every now and then a grave is opened to receive another body A great many dogs are burled there, including one that be longed to the Duke of Cambridge and Pllku, who belonged to an uncle of the King of Sweden. The stone over this animal's grave Is conspicuously surmount ed by a Swedish coronet and cross. A boarhound and a St. Bernard rest In this L garden, but little lapdogs constitute the majority ot tne aeaa. a iew cats nna graves here, besides a dozen parrots, live monkeys, several canaries, a goldfinch and a white mouse. It Is no uncommon occurrence for the grave of a dog to be opened to receive a canary. With one exception, the stones record the" death of dogs. The exception Is thus Inscribed: "A tribute of respect to two white cats, Bebe and Sam, his nephew." , In this garden rest the remains of the canine pets of several distinguished act resses. Including Lady Bancroft, Miss Olga Nethersole and Miss Lilly Hanbury. Here are some typical legends upon the stones: In loving memory of darling Vic, died December 26, 1899.
