Many Errors Mnde4 Wiudiiugton, Nov. 16 Serious errors ii battleship construction continue to bo made by the Navy department, re gardless of the w Tilings of the board of 8enator Hoyburn Will Bring Matter Before Congress. Washington, Nov. 12. Senator Hoy burn, of Idaho, purposes to bring beforo congress (ho lssuo of tho long and short haul In the form of an amendment to the Interstate commcrco law preventing railways fiom charging moro to haul freight to a point lesi distant than that to which a lessor rate is charged. The proposal of Senator Hoyburn will in volve exactly tbo issue contained in tho complaint of the Spoknno chamber of commerce, und if adopted by congress nnd sustained by tho Supreme court would snttlo for all time the much mooted questicn as to preferential rates for tormliml poldts situated on tldo water. Sonator Hcyburn has been giving ex position of his views lately and has an nounced his intention to Introduce a bill of tbo character ouilined. Since Spokane's complaint has beon filed hero and tho Interstate Commerco commission baa given its extensive nd extended hearings to the caao, other cltlea, notably throughout tbo South, havo filed similar ccmplainta, so that tho commission in deciding the Spo kane caso really will bo deciding half a eeoro of other cases. Tho same trans portation principle is involved in them all. It lias beon learned that, not from inaction, but from desire to give roost careful consideration to tho case, the commission has deferred fur bo long a time its final ruling. It ia generally recognized that the Spokane case raises questions which go to tho whole theory of arbitrary rate adjustment which has characterized railway management for many years. According to the contention of Sena tor Hoyburn, it is unjust to Spokane, Iloiso, Salt Lako or any other interior point to charge it the rate from New York, for instanco, to Portland, Seattle, San Francisco or Los ALgoles. plus tho local distributive rate back to that In terior point. Ho argues that the inte rior points are mado to suffer for the sustainment of tho theory of water baBis competition, which ho argues is largely thcoreatical, anyway. Advices aro coming to Washington that shippers at Boiso, Salt Lako, Cliey enno, iiutto, Helena and other intorior towns are preparing to back up the measure of the Idaho senator, Working for Mlnlrg Bureau Washington, Nov. 10. J. H. Rich ards, of Hoieo. Idaho, is now in Wash ington endeavoring to procure support from cabinet members fur the proposal made by tho American Mining con gress, of which he is president, for the creation of a department of mines and mining. For Beveral years this mining organization baa been insisting on the establishment of an additional cabinet office, to care for mineral matters, and Richards' visit here Ib in pursuanco of the policy designated by his organiza tion. Ho has seen the secretary of the interior and other powerful government officials, seeking to induce them to como out openly in favor of the pro posnl. Asks for Fortifications. Washington, Nov. 14. Congress will bo asked to appropriate $22.000,orj0 for fortifications at tho approaching ses sion. Ten millions of thie amount is intended for insular pofsessionB. The annual report of Brigadier General Mc Kouzie, ehlof of army engineers, was mado public today. It 6ays that in carrying rut projects outlined by the nutlonal const defense board, it is pro posed to spond $4,488,000 in Manila fortill ations, $1,110,000 at Honolulu Production Probably Will Bo Curtailed This Month. Clovoland, O., Nov. 11. Reporta from the building trades reveal Homo remarkable conditions. Although for a number of weeks new business has been reduced to a small volumo, statis tics of production for tho past month show that seldom in tho history of the trado havo such largo tonnages been turnod out. For example, tho Ameri can Bridge company, the largest produc er of structural material, turned out 00,000 tons last month, but sold only one-third of that amount. A steel corporation made surprising records at Pittsburg. The Carnegie company broke records at ita various plants. The Illinois Steel company not only brokn all its previous records but did sc in every individual depart ment in all threo works, South Chicago, Milwaukee and Jollet. Even moro surprising than all tbeeo was the blast furnace production for Oit iber, which, according tc tho statis tics of the Iron Trade Review reached a new hitth point In tho history of the trade, the production being 2,362,630 tons, compared with the largest output, 2,201,030 tons in May of this year. In other words tho production for October was at the rate of about 28,000,000 tons a year. Tho statistics for November w'll doubtlees tell a vastly different story. Many sheet and tin plate mills have been closed and the sheet bar mills of tho steel corporation at Columbus and Bellairo are idle. The corporation now has 21 blast furnaees out of commission and independent concerns are curtailing their product. Hence it may bo confi dently expected that the output of both pig iron and finished materials would be much smaller this month than for any previous month of the year. BRAZrL OUTLET FOR JAPAN. Negotiations Ponaing for Immigration of 5,000 Annually. Washington, Nov. 11. Barred from the United States, Japanese coolies are turning to Brazil, where, according to the Brazilian Review, they hope to gain ready admlesion. This newspaper, published in Rio de Janeiro, eayj: "It is reported from Yokohama that North America and Australia, being practically closed to the Japanese im migrants, Japan will now turn its at tention to Brazil, as a point toward which ite surplus population shall bo directed, and that negotiations will be opened with the Brazilian government forthwith to arrange for the landing of 6,000 Japanese in that republic every year. From Milan also comes an an nouncement to the effect that the Jap anese government has proposed to the Italian ambassador at Tokio that the Navigazione Generate Italiana shall undertake the transport of these emi grarts and for that purpose shall estab lish a new steamship serv'ce from Yo kohama to Genoa. From Genoa to Brazil, as is well known, the Naviga zione uenerale already runs a direct line. There is said to be no doubt that the Italian company will establish the new line, seeing a guarantee for the transport of 5,000 third-clase passen gers from Yokohama to Genoa every year." NEED STRONGER MEN Both House and Senate Commit tees Weak. MEMBERS CANNOT BE TRUSTED It Is Feared Their Finance Legislation Would Be Weak and Favor Wall Street. Washington, Nov. 12. The recent financial disturbance in New York and the flurry in other parts of tho country will result in considerable discussion cf finance at the coming session of con gress and will produce an unusually largo number of bills to amend the banking laws. The subject will bo dis cussed by the president in his mestage and the congressional record will be loaded with all kinds of talk as to tho advisability of changing the currency laws of the nation. But the more con servative men who have viewed the sit uation in its broadest light believe thero will bo no financial legislation and in their judgment the talk will come to nothing. If these views prove to bo incorrect and financial legislation is undertaken, it will be mo t unfortunate for tbo country, because the legislation will be intrusted to two committees which are not property constituted to handle a" subject of this importance. The senate committee is largely composed of men who are incapable of framing eafe finan cial legislation or who would take ad vantage of the situation to put through legislation ,in the interest of Wall street rather than in the interest of the entiro community. The house committee is made up almost entirely of men who are incapable of passing judgment upon a subject of such consequence. The senate committee on -finance is constituted as follows: Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island; Wi'liarn B. Allison, of Iowa; JuliuH C. Burrows, of Michigan; Thomas C. Flatt of New York; Henry C. Hansbrough, of North Dakota; Boies Penrose, cf Pennsylva nia; Eugene Hale, of Maine; John W. Daniel, of Virginia; 'Hernando D. Money, of Mississippi; Joseph W.Bail ey, of Texas; James P. Taliaferro, of Florida. The house committee is composed of the following members: Charles N. Fowler, of New Jersey: George W. Prince, of Illinois; WillLiam A. Cal derbead, of Kansas; Llewellyn Powers, of Maine; Henry McMorran, of Michi gan; Capell L. Weems, of Ohio; Elijah B. Lewis, of Georgia; Areene P.
