April 7.—(Via Ran Diego)—The work ot preparing lor the California reception. now but ten days dialect, is already in progress among the battleships of the Atlantic fleet. Every ship not engaged iu coaling or working on the torpedo range is udergo- mg a thorough acrubbmg. scraping and painting from ths aster line to the mastheads. Every inch of the surface of the ships will be gone over and cleaned and polished. Divers have been eent over the side of <wch ship and have made thoiough inspections ot tbe bottoms. Alsmy of the vessels are nearly a. clean as »hen they left Hampton Roads, according to the reports of the divers. The long time spent at anchor age in the bay has done more to foul the bottoms than the trip around the Horn. The work of coaling for the final leg of the long voyage is being pushed with all speed. Last night the crew of the Mams worked all night taking coal from a collier alongside and stowing it away in the bunkers. Admiral Thomae has issued a tenta tive program tor the fleet for the dates April 11 to April 19, which includes the departure of the fleet from Magda lena at same hour not yet fixed on April 11 and its arrival at San Diego at 1 p. m. April 14. The program quotes from the official program of the reception committee in San Diego, giv ing the details for the four days the ship« will be in port there. Admiral Thomas has also issued a lengthy detailed order, on the forma tion of a brigade ol sailors and marines, for parade duty in San Diego, San Francisco and other cities, it provides for the formation of a fleet naval brig ade of more than 5,W0 men. The total is made of 64 companiescf bluejackets, four from each ship, and 16 companies of matinee or one from each ship. Washington, April 8.—A special re port just issued by the Interstate Com merce commission gives a practical illustration of tbe manner in which railway corporations, once independ ent, have developed into fully controll ed systems. The report ia the result of an investigation made in connection with the establishment of a uniform system of reports for railways which tbe commission is empowered to pre scribe. One of its principal duties will be tc compile infornation to aid in determining the proper form of a standard talance sheet. One of the principal usee of the re port will be to furnish information, heretofore unobtainable, to the public, congress, court and Interstate Commerce commission. It makes public for the first time the amount of securities ’U the hands of the corporations. The statistical tabulation shows that out of over *18,000,000,000 of outstanding securities *5,550,000,000 is held by railway corporations, leaving in tbe hands ot the public about *7,800,000,- 000 of funded debt and *4,700,000,000 8TREETS RUN BLOOD. of stocks.

Many Chargee in Smith Cabinet to Feuow as Result. London, April 7.—Great Britain is in a peculiar position, being without either premier or mlnietiy. Tbs long expected resignation ol Sir Heniy Campbell-Bannerman, Ilia prime min islet, was officially announced Hatur- dsy night. According to the court cir cular. he resigned on I he urgent recoin- meiiiiatioo of his medical advisers, and, a* the constitution provides no auto matic sucosasug, it resting with the king to choose a new hea l of the gevaru- nient, and in accordance with the cus tom and precedent, ths whois cabinet resigns with tbs premier, no step to at pomt s ministry can t<e taken until Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the exchequer, wh > lias been «utumoned to Biarritz for ths purpose, has seeu the king. The position of the country is quite unprecedented, there being no previous example ol a change occurring in the premiership while the sovereign was abroaui. On this account Ilia course of procedure to oe followed is tn some doubt. Sir Henry's condition remains on changed, according to the physiclane* bulletin. Tbe king, (In telegraphing his acceptance nt the premier's resigna tion, conveyed so expression ot hie re gret and esteem, with best wishes for Sir Henry's recovery. FLEET ASSURES PEACE. Evans Says Vovage to Pacific Was Well Timed San Francisco. April 7.— Admiral Roblev D. Evans, In an interview print«! in the Chronicle tolay, said: “The greater interest cf the United States today is In the Pacific. The coming of the fleet to this coast has not only demonstrated to the world tlurl we have 16 battleships which tan be brought together for a long cruise at a moment’s notice, but it has called the attention of the people of our own country to tbs fact that we have a Pa cific coast as well as an Atlantic coast, and that It will be defended just as much as every inch of land around New York, and that our Interests in the Pa cific today are greater than in the At lantic. “Thia is the short road to the coun tries of the Far East, where the greatest commercial development is to be. With development will come war, but it will be a commercial war, fought with brains and dollars and not with 10-inch guna. It will be generaled by stieh men as Harriman, and the part of tha navy ia only to be always rea»iy. We do not plan nor fight commercial battlee. "The coming of the fleet waa moat opportunely timed by the president, and its arrival in the Pacific has result ed in the present assurance of peace. Not that I ever believed that there was any actual danger of war. Tbe people of both countries realised too well what a dreadful calamity such a war would have been." WEST MUST UNITE Important Legislation Pending al National Capital. TEAM WORK WOULD CARRY DAY Dry’Farm Homestead Bill. In Which West Is Greatly interested, Among Measures. Washington, April 4.—There are sev eral important bdl* pending befoie senate and house, or in tbeir commit- tesa, of great in tv real to the West, any one ol whioh can probably lie peered It Wealeru reuatora and uuigremiueii will ■ret together and make a united effort Moat consplcuoue among thorn at th» piesenl time is the 320-acre dry farm houieat.ad bill, a measure 'hat means a gieat deal to the slate« week ot tbe Missouri river. In many ot which sot tleiurnl is practically checked because the beat lands have |iaas<s! to private ownership, and what remains cannot be sucevaslully entered under the exist ing homestead law. Another moat meritorious measure banging in Uie ba'ance ia the Borah bill, providing funds for building schools, install.ng sewer and water «ye terne and making other municipal im provements in towns Mtablieb»! on government irrigation projects. This bill proposes to donate to such towns • II moneys derived Iroiu the sale of town lots, a fund which, in most in stances, will be ample for tbs purpose. Experience has ihown Hutt towns on government projects have been slower of devdopment than townsnn Carey act projects. The latter have grown rapid ly. l arge schools have been erect«!; adequate water and sewer system« liave been in-tailed, streets have t>een im proved, etc., whereas in towns on gov ernment projects the cit ixens have been obliged to go down into their own pock ets to provide and maintain schools ami property holde-s have been compelled te bear the entire expense of all civie improvements. The national dtairage bill, which contemplate« the reclamation ot swamp and overflowed lamia in all parta of ttie United States, stands little chance ol passing thia session. Th urh It is a uirvx-iuie ot great merit, there does not seem to be that interest that la eaarn tial to force through a bill of such mag nitude and Importance. It is difficult to explain this lack ot interest, too, for there ia scarcely a state that has not some lands that would be.benefittid by a national drainage law. There is one bill that congres« will certainly not pass this seesinn. yet one that should have been enacted long ago —a bill repealing the timlM-r and «tone act and snbmatituting some more prac ticable statute providing tor the disp.« al of government timber. It has been amply demonstrated that the timber and atone act ia vicious and uojnet. HOPtlkH» BPLtr. Interstate Commieslcn Cannut Agr e on Bpokans Hats Cass.
