Washington, Doc, 8. The annual
report of the secretary of the navy ia
very exhaustive document of 80,000
words with numerous table.
After reoltiug the fact of tht com
pletiou and oommisatoiilug of the new
warship Olympia, Miuueapolia nd
Indiana, built by contract, aud the
Maine, Texas and Amphttrtte, built at
government navy yards, the secretary
calls attcutiou to the failure of the
ram Katahdin to make the rate of speed
named in the contract for her con
struction. ud refer the matter to con
gress. He say the department expect
the Terror and Monaduook to toe tu
commission by February I, 18lrt, and
the Puritau about July I, 181W. He
ays delay have occurred in construc
tion of vessel by the custom of trans
ferring workmeu from the ooustruotion
to the repair departments, in order to
avoid increasing the force of workmen.
This custom has becu abolished iu the
government yard, and the secretary
enter protest against the habit of
congress of relieviug contractor from
penalties imposed for delay by the de
partment The secretary pay a high compli

of the new vessels.
Of the vessel now in eourse of con
struction, ha predicts that the first
class battleship Iowa will be complet

battleship Massachusetts is practically
completed, except as regards the ar
mor. It is estimated that the vessel
can be completed in about eight week
after the delivery of her armor. The
first class battleship Oregon is as far
advanced as is practical before the de

a short speech, presenting the group
of statuary, and was frequently ap
plauded. He said:
"I am here today as the representa
tive of Joseph Pulitzer, who honors
himself and his country in presenting
this statue of Washington and Lafay
ette, kindred names in the deepest af
fections of the two peoples, to this
beautiful and histories! chief city of
our sister republic If he could have
been here, Mr. Pulitzer would doubt
less say more than I can of the patri
otic and affectionate motives which in
spired his gift; but we can perhaps
sufficiently interpret Mr. Pulitzer's
cardinal motive by quoting the inscrip
tion that he has prepared for the
statue, which is meant to be, as he has
written it, and speaking as he undoubt
edly may, for all our fellow-citizens:
" 'Homage to France, in gratitude
for her generous co-operation in the
struggle of the people of the United
States for liberty and independence.' "
Mr. Smith then alluded to the fact
that it was Mr. Pulitzer's good fortune,
as editor and proprietor of the New
York World, to inaugurate the popular
subscription which gave a worthy ped
estal to M. Bartholdi's statute of
"Liberty Enlightening the World," in
New York harbor, and in conclusion,
in Mr. Pulitzer's name, he presented
the group to the city of Paris.
The military band that was present
thereupon played the "Marseillaise,"
M. Bourd, vice-president of the Paris
municipal council, in accepting the
gift for the city, briefly reviewed the
history of the two men thus represented
in bronze, and said that the nnion of
flags under which Washington and
Lafayette stood hand in hand repre
jtented really the union of the people of
the two republics. He hoped the
echoes of today's cheers would traverse
the ocean and unite even more closely
the two nations. He thanked Mr. Pu
litzer warmly, and also M. Bartholdi
for the manner in which he carried out
his conception.
A Tramp Convention

Denver, Dec. 8. The splendid career
of Cripple Creek may be repeated and
possibly eclipsed by West Creek which
is within fifty miles of Denver and al
most in sight of the dome of the capi
tol. The greatest activity prevails
among the miners and prospectors and
townsite boomers. There are now sev
eral hundred assessments worked and
the surveying of claims has just begun.
There will probably be several thou
sand claims surveyed and recorded be
fore spring.
The miners claim the mineral is
richer than that of Cripple Creek on
the surface. It is lodged in clearly de
fined veins and can be easily traced.
While the entire country is covered
with a thick growth of magnificent
timber, the drift is shallow and does
! not operate as a barrier to the discov
ery of leads as in many other camps.
The accessibility of the camp is cer
tain to make it a favorite. It is locat

TRANS-PACIFIC RATES.
The Effect the Fasnenger Hate War Has
t'pon Them.
San Francisco, Dec. 3. The rate
war between the Southern Pacific and
the Oregon Railway & Navigation,
over coastwise passenger travfl, has
seriously affected trans-Pacific rates,
particularly the business of the Pacifio
Mail steamers. The Umatilla started
for the Sound today, with a big load of
passengers, and Colonel Mention, of
the Southern Pacific, was on the dock,
keeping tally of all who went aboard.
Among the steerage passengers were
thirty Japanese, bound for their native
land, via Victoria and the Canadian
Pacific steamers. They claim that
they have been discriminated against j
hitherto by the Pacific Mail Company, j
in favor of the Chinese, although I
theirs is the shorter haul, and they
have at length found a cheaper route.
TVib Pacific Mail has been chartrinK i50
fnr flhinesfi. while the .Tananese wereV,
forced to pay $51. The fare from Vic
toria on the Canadian Pacific steamers
is $41, and as the fare from San Fran
cisco to Victoria, at present, is $5, the
total cost of the passage to Japan, via
the Sound, is only The party of
Japanese which left on the Uamtilla is
the third that has taken that route,
and altogether the Pacific Mail has lost
about 120 Japanese passengers in that
way. It is Btated that the first class
rate of $8 to Puget sound points is also
liable to affect cabin travel.
capital of $10,000 is required, a good
share of which has been raised.
The newly proposed salmon cannery

lumber is on the ground.
The outlixjk for the shipping busi

for vessels and a better freight rate
than at any time since 1889.
