WaHlilngtnn, May 2. Senator
Newlands' resolution passed, re-
ferrlng the Issue raised to the
two committees of the senate
and house.

Nevada, today Introduced a resolution
in the senate providing that the ways
and means committee of the house
and finance commute of the senate
Jointly consider plans for extending
financial aid In the restoration of
'Frisco.
It asks thnt a joint committee re
port upon the advisability and practt
cablllty of the national government
furnishing such aid either by guaran
teeing loans at a low rate of Interest
or by the promotion and organization
of a great financial corporation, state
or national.
It provides for the appointment by
the president of a national commission
of men experienced in exposition
building.
Newlands explained that although
he has been engaged In Interesting
New Tork financiers In the project of
rebuilding, that no financing conclu
ion has been reached. He thought
that guaranteeing $100,000,000 bonds
will accomplish the object.
nugaboo of Paternalism.
Hopkins Inquired what distinction
there Is betwen aiding the private
Interests of 'Frisco and loaning money
to farmers whose crops failed.
Newlands contended that a govern
ment that could spend $200,000,000 to
free Cuba, and almost twice that to
civilize the Philippines, should be able
to extend tomporary aid In rebuilding
If necessary the gnteway of the Pa

among the most active. Ana-
conda opened 68 points below
the high price of last year. It
looked like an attempt to slash

Rl
ENGLAND'S NEW WARSHIPS.
Forty-Seven of Different Types Under
Construction.
London, May 2. According to of
ficial reports Great Britain has at
present no less than six battleships.
10 armored cruisers, 18 destroyers and
IS sub-marines under construction.
During the year 1906-7 four armor
ed vessels, IT destroyers and 12 sub
marines will be commenced. The de
signs of the vessels have not yet been
determined, and It Is, therefore, Im
possible to form Ml exact Idea of the
total liability that will be incurred by
these admiralty proposals. As far as
can be gathered from the cost of re
cent corresponding types, however,
the large amount of $40,000,000 will
be absorbed as the aggregate cost of
these vessels, and the sole provision
made during 1906-7 to meet this ex
penditure amounts to about $3,000,
000, which Is roughly one-twelfth of
the total cost.
STOLE DHEADNACGHTS PLANS.
Suspicious English Think Americans
Got Hold of Them.
London, May 2. A grave naval
scandal has developed over the mys
terious disappearance of the plans of
the new battleship Dreadnaught,
launched a short time ago. It Is be
lieved they were sold to a foreign
power by some navy department of
ficial. They were returned to the ad
miralty through the mail after sev
eral months' absence.
Suspicion Is directed to America on
account of the belief prevalent here
of her Intention to build the Dread
naught's counterpart.

Tlmugli Petitions Have Reen Filed
Tlie Other Involve Co-operation
to Secure the. Proponed Macadam
Road to Walla Walla,
This morning the county commis
sioners began upon the May term of
court, and business of Importance Is
being brought before them.
As attorney for the stockmen in
terested In reservation roods, Colonel
J. H. Raley this morning presented
the petitions that were drawn up and
signed some weeks ago. The peti
tions ask for the creation of three
county roads across the reservation.
the routes to be the some as the roads
now In use
Under the law the petitions cannot
be acted upon at this term of court,
but Instead must be held over until the
July session, at which time the roads
will be ordered If considered right.
The matter will then be passed to the
local Indian agent and to the depart
ment nt Washington for approval.
Unless such Is forthcoming, the roads
cannot be created.
Another rond proposition antici
pated for this term of court Is that of
the macadam road from Milton to
Walla Walla. However, the court has
been informed by the commissioner
of Walla Walla that they hove post
poned their action until fall. This was
due to the dissatisfaction with the two
miles of macadam rood now In use.
Just what effect the above action
will have on Umatilla county's portion
of the road remains to be seen. But
It Is presumed the Milton people will
not want to construct their road until
the other end Is made nlso. Their pe
tition has not yet been received by the
court.
Surveying for tlie Milwaukee.
Wcnatchee, Mny 2. Surveyors for
the Milwaukee railroad were In We
netchee yesterdny, having arrived
hero from the Dig llend, where they
have been measuring altitudes of the
country between Watervllle and Dav
enport. The fact of their presence
here lends credence to the story that
the Milwaukee may yet cross the Big
Bend country, enter the Wcnatchee
valley and follow up the river ns far
as Wenatchee lnko and cross the
mountains at Indian pass, thence go to
Snohomish, Seattle and Tncoma.
Saloon LIociihch to Bo $1000.
Tacoma, May 2. Saloon licenses
will be advanced from $600 to $1000
If plans now being considered by the
police and license committee of the
new city council are carried out.
Members of the city council believe
that with high license, some of the
low-class resorts such as exist on Jef
ferson avenue, Center street, C street
and Puyallup avenue, will be forced
to close and that the Increased fee will
have a tendency to bring the saloons
up to a higher standard and eliminate
some of the objectionable resorts.

San Francisco, May 2. The plan
by which the federal government may
lend its credit for rebuilding the city
still has strong suggestions.
At a conference last night between
General Oreeley, Secretary Metcalf,
Mayor SchmlUt, ex-Mayor Phelan and
Dr. Devlne a plan was presented in
detail to Metcalf In order that the
secretary may lay It before the pres
Ident when he returns to Washing
ton.
On Its unaided credit It will take
San Francisco 15 or more years to
reouua; witn government aid, In a
quarter of that time. While there

NEW YORK FIRE LOSSES.
Rapid Increase in the Number
of
Fires, Comparing Years.
New York. May 2. The annual re
port for 1905 Issued by Fire Marshal
Peter Seery, shows that there were In
1905 in Manhattan, the Bronx and
Richmond 7750 fires, an increase of
201 fires from 1504. The total loss
by fire during the year Is estimated
at $5,271,955. an increase of $741,012
over 1904. The average loss per fire
was $680.25, an Increase of $90.05. Cf
the total number of fires there were
3337 in whlc hthe losses were $10 or
less.
In regard to the causes were: Care
lessness with matches, 757; children
playing with matches, 244; careless
ness In the use of lighted cigars, 404;
overheated stoves and stovepipes, 444;
chimney fires and defective flues, 439;
bonfires and brush fires, 476; care
lessness in use of candles, 256: gas
lights In contact with curtains, 17;
keresene lamps exploding, 165.
The report says that not a few fires
are caused through apparent care
lessness In the use of candles in re
ligious services in homes, draughts
from open windows blowing curtains
against the lighted candles. Marshall
Seery also says: "I was also surpris
ed to find many cases among poorer
classes where three or more persons
In the same suite of rooms had each
a fire Insurance policy. It appears
that If Insurance companies were not
so lax In respect to "risks Issued,' there
would be a material decrease In the
number of fires."

TWO YEARS FOR TIETON SCHEME
Intention is to Advertise for Rids Next
Fall.
The following statement of the
status and expectations regarding the
iieton reclamation project Is from the
Yakima Republic:
T. A. Noble Is down from the Tie
ton basin to confer with his superiors
at the reclamation office here. Mr.
Noble has charge of the engineering
crew on the Tletnn canal. There are
20 men working under him on the
canal survey and five men at Bump
ing lake laying out the reservoir sites.
me crew under Mr. Noble Is mak
ing final and definite survey for te
route of the Tletnn canal. They will
complete the work some time this
summer. At present they are running
the line of the cannl through the Tie
ton canyon. Great deal of care Is re
quired in running this part of the line.
There will be one tunnel 3000 feet
long and several small ones, along
this rnrt of the canal.
The government will spare no time
In making the Tleton canal one of the
best in the country. When it Is fin
ished there will be little expense at
tached for Its maintenance. There
will be no flumes, if It Is possible to
avoid them. Tunneling will be re
sorted to along the Tleton canyon
where flumes would be built and ce
ment will bo used wherever It Is found
necessary.
It is now the plan of the depart
ment to have everything In shape so
that bids can be called for In Septem
ber or October. Construction will be
gin some time during the full months.
It will require about two yeais to
complete the canal from the time
work Is commenced. This will in
sure water for the land In the spring
of 1908.
The reclamation service Is now do
ing the preliminary work for the
construction of reservoirs at Cle Elum
and other lakes at the head of the
Yakima river. Considerable land has
been purchased around the lake from
the Individual owners and other plans
are being carried out preparatory to
the great amount of reclamation work
that will eventually be don in the
Yakima valley.

Diamond and Crall, the horse thieves,
by Judge Ellis this morning. The
same penalty was also imposed upon
Walter Arnold, but In the latter case
the prisoner was paroled during hie
good behavior.
The criminal business In the district
court this morning was the most iro
portant since the conclusion of thw
famous Davis trial. Darrel Diamond
and Gld Crall were first brought up
by Sheriff Taylor. Both of the men
had pleaded guilty at a former ses
sion, and It only remained for the
Judge to Impose sentence.
Neither of the prisoners cared to
say anything In his own behalf, and
Judge Ellis did not mince words In
passing sentence. He said: "It is on
necessary for me to enter into any
dissertation upon your cases. I have
taken trouble to become advised re
garding your past lives, and It is the
Judgment of the court that you be
Imprisoned in the penitentiary for
term of three years. You are re
manded to the custody of the sheriff."
Lewis, the Echo hold-up artist, wa
the next on the list, but Judge Ellis
announced that passage of sentence
upon him would be postponed Indefi
nitely. On being arraigned upon the charge4
of larceny Walter Arnold plead guilty
and also waived time for sentence;
through his attorney. C. H. Carter.-
District Attorney Phelps then ad
dressed the court and said that In
consideration of the age of the pris
oner, 19 years, he believed the best
Interests of society would be served
by admitting the boy to parole under
a severe sentence, which could be im
posed should he again become way
ward. Tills recommendation was accepted
by Judge Fills, who sentenced Arnold
to three years In the penitentiary, but
directed that he be admitted to pa
role. Before passing sentence fhe
Judge delivered a lecture In which ft
clearly pletured the position of the
young man. saying it was for him to
decide whether he should become a
free and worthy citizen, or go to the
penitentiary.
