The plans In Instances embody certain novelties In nival construc tion that must bs paused upon with caro. Tlio Cramps have one plan for a nhlp about the size of the Indiana , but without turrets. In thlr place , fore and aft , are mounted twelve-Inch puns on carrlases that disappear In tlio bull below the water line nnd und r the protecllve deck after belnfi discharged , thus bolnt ; completely shielded from a return fire , and also adding to the stability of the ship. Another plan also submitted by tlio Cramps Is for a battleship of the same size , with four separate turrets , two for the tblr- tecn-lpch n18 and lwo 'or eight-Inch Runs , the latler belns placed above and closely In the rear of the big turrets , thus generally resembling the arrangement proposed origi nally by the construction bureau. Thn Union Iron works carry the navy do- partlncnt'H plans to an extreme In one point , wheio they contemplate a three-storied tur ret. Their original plan Is generally similar to the d par'mcnt's design except In n , slight detail relating to the placing of a. main pas sageway and the storage of coal above the bollem anil the Important detail of supplyIng - Ing all of the steam by the now tubular boilers used In the Monterey. iin.i.s AIM : COMI.M ; IN i.ivni.v.

The populist membjrs of the senate have taken a step which will probably result In tha prevention of tljo reorganization of the senate by the republicans , by resolving to stand together against both old parties. Senators Petter. Allen , Kyle and Duller , ranked as straight populists , and also Senators Jones and Stew art of Nevada , upon whom some of the repub licans'have counted for assistance In case of an effort to reorganize , will stand together. There was no dissent against the proposi tion to stand together on the question of organization and to give no support to either of the old parties In the election of officers of the senate or In other party matters. Thofo present also decided to nominate their own candidates for the various offices. In case the other parties place candidates In the field. Selections will be deferred until ac tion Is made necessary by the republicans and democrats. In case the republicans Initiate a movement In this direction the populists will place a full ticket in the field , and they agreed that with this step once taken they would Kami by their candidate solidly to the end. The republicans now lack three of majority nnd will lock one after the Utah senators come In. Nfttlniiiil AVoiil GriMvorn In Si'HHlnii. WASHINGTON , Dec. 4. The annual meeting of the National Associ ation of Wool Growers began here today. The principal feature of today's session was the annual ndress of President William Lawrence of Ohio , who dwelt upon the pres ent distressed condition of the wool growing Industry and made various suggestions for remedial legislation and concerted action to secure bettor protection to the growers. Resolutions will be adopted urging restora tion of wool to the dutiable Hat at a reason ably high rate. President Lawrence In an informal con ference told the wool men he did not expect that any measure of satisfaction to Vool interests would bo passed by congress until n full revision of the tariff should be made. He submitted a long memorial which bo suggested be adopted and preajntod to con gress , It recites the loss to sheep breeders caused by the free wool schedule of the Wilson tariff law , nnd favors as temporary relief ths rc-onactmpnt of the McKlnley schedule , with slight modifications. Theo dore Justice of Philadelphia advocated this re-enactment as a temporary relief , and a0 ! ths McKlnley woolen tariff had yielded for three years an annual revenue of $42,000,000. Placing wool on the free list , bo said , had so far caused a loss of $100,000,000 to the wool growers. The re-enactment of the Mc Klnley schedule , he urged , should take effect Immediately , and these vlewp were formu lated In proposed resolutions which Mr. Justice read. Much of the session was occupied In ad- diebBCs by representatives from different parts of the country , who told of the un satisfactory condition of the wool Industry In their localities. During the day a reso lution was offered that congress be avkod to pass , as a partial mcusiiTo of relief , "Schedule K Wool and Woolens , " of the McKlnley law. This , however , WHS objected to by some of thoie present on the ground that the duties provided for by that schedule wore not high enough , und the resolution , after some discussion , was referred to a committee of five , whoso duty It U to draw up a memorial to congress asking for re lief for the wool Industry. This committee la composed of Judge Lawrence , chairman ; Calvin Coswlll of Indiana , W. W. Ilurch of Chlctgo , A. K. Shepard of Texai and Theo dore Jutlco of Philadelphia.

AftT n series of mostlngj that were re msrkable chiefly for their resemblance to session of , a Dorcix scwln ; circle , the Ilnan of Health cimo to life again yesterday after noon and favored a small audience with bill of attractions that eclipsed any prevlou exhibition of the year. It was not a Ion * session , but there was more brimstone burnci and more startling indications of a genera knocking down nnd dragging out than ar usually to be noticed outside of a "tender loin" saloon. In fact , the language tba floated through th : sizzling atmosphere o the board room was of a kind tint wouli make a fishwife blush. Israel Prank fur nlshed the bulk of the burning billingsgate but even Commissioner Savlllo to far forrjo himself as to Biy "darn" with several repe tltlons. Everything was sunny until after th monthly reports had bson read , approved anc fllul anay. Thjn Commissioner Savlll cleared his throat and remarked that ho hae a few resolutions which he wished the boar to adopt. This was one of them ; Whereas. The prosecution of the ullege chnrgcs of fraud against Israel Kmnl ineiit Inspector , lias up to date failed t product anything to warrant the nsumi tlon thru said charges nre founded on reu facts , nnd , Wherens , The city U by his susponslo ueprlveil of the "orvlces of said Inqpecto at n time when siild services would be o great benefit , nr.d the city lias ample pro tectlon In tlu olllclal bond of said meat In specter , therefore , bo It HejMlvod , Thnt the suspension be and I hereby removed and the health commls sioner is directed to place Israel Frank o duty nnd to report his salary for the tini of snld suspension to the city council. Thcro was on embarrassing silence for couple of minutes , and then Mayor Beml asked the commissioner If Krank was neat at this tlmo out of Jail on bond. Dr. Sa vlllo started to reply , when Duncan declare that he had written the resolution an w.nited to second It. Ho added that th beard ought to believe Frank Innocent untl It had been proven that ho was guilty , am that his prosecution and suspension were a political clap trap and buncombe anywnj In order to shut oft further debate a rol call was ordered , and the resolution was de featcd by this vote : Ayes : Savllle. Duncan 2. Nays : Thomas , Gordon , Slgwart , Mayo Bemls 4. 4.SAVILLE SAVILLE AFTER BRUNER. Another resolution provided that the offle of milk Inspector should be declared vacanl Milk Inspector Bnmer , who has held th position for two years pnot , was suspendet some lima ago on account of the flnancla shortage. Dr. Savllle explained that the reso lutlon merely contemplated making the BUS pension permanent. Mayor Bumlg began t question the commissioner as to the purpos of such action , and It finally developed tin the > commissioner thought that the city couh not get along without a milk Inspector un longer , but ho wanted S. L. Boyd to hav the Job. Tiio mayor asked If there was an fault to bo found with Bruner , and Savlll declared that he was totally Inefficient , bu refused to say In what particular li ? had ol fended. The mayor called the commissioner' attention to the fact that when'the questlo of Brunor's reappolntment was before th board lost summer the vote was a tie and h had given Bruner the carting vote on Sa vlllo's positive assurance that Bruner lint done the work as well as it could be done. Saville emphitlially denied that he hil eve said any such thing. On the contrary , he ha declared then as now that Bruner wap en tlrely incapable of performing the duties o the petition. Other members of the beard , a well as Bruner , who was present , corroborate the statement of the mayor , but Savllle per slsted in his denial and his resolution. Then Bruner Jumped up and began to rots Savllle. He declared that he might be Inef flclent and still bea whole lot. better tha some men who were holding public position not more than a mile away. Duucan inadvertantly explained Bruner' sudden Inefficiency by saying that ho hat be-en a red hot "citizens" man during th recent campaign. All this was said at one and a good deal more , and matters were look leg dcldedly squally when the roll call wa called for and the rusolutlon was passed Mayor Remls and Thorna * voting "no. " Then a resolution by which S. L. Boyd wa made milk Inspector was passed by a slm liar vote , the mayor and Thomas voting against It on th ? ground that the fund wa already overdrawn and there was no earthly us ? oT creating an additional deficit by put ting on an Inspector lor the r-'malnlng twenty live days of theyear. . FRANK STARTS THE FIREWORKS. This ended the business , but not the fire works. Israel Frank had been a quiet spec latur of the proceedings , but as soon ns the board adjourned hl wrath refused to b longer denied expression. Ho proceeded to read the riot act In language that fnlrlj smoked to the members whom ho declare ! had violated their promises to him. Turning to the members of the- board ho remarked with an oath that he was glad to find ou where they stood. When men told him one thlriK nnd then voted the other way , ho was glad to find it out and he would get evei some time. Then he faced Gordon and ex clal.ncd : "You promised me In your office that If I would not ask for this thing until after elec tion you would stay by me. You promisee that the next day after election you wouli vote to reinstate me , and now you go back on me this way. Well , It's a long lane tha doesn't turn tome time. " Gordon tried to soothe the Irate Inspector but ho refused to ba comforted. He swore at the members of the beard , the reporters and the world generally. He declared thai he had a family to support , that It was ar outrage that he could not draw a cent ol salary from the city Until after his case had been tried In court , and wound up by de claring that the board could go to h 11. He could earn a living without Its assistance. The Instrument of discord was keyed up to concert pitch by this time , and Brunor took a hand. He assured Dr. Savlllo that tie would have resigned If he- had been asked to and declared that his action was a gratu itous Insult. Savllla remarked that Bruner was a certain something which Is not nameable - able In print , but which Is presumed to be a sufficient provocation to fight at any point west of the Mississippi , Then Frank and Bruner put on their overcoats and went out and the war was over.

At a special meeting of the board of public works held yesterday , the side walk specifications were changed by making Boveral Important amendments.

Here after the comptroller will advertise for blda on brick at the tame tlmo as for other naterlals and the brick walks will be put lown when they are desired. The specifications on wooden walks were amended In several respects In order to se- uro better construction.

UY IS fMHSTUHlllSH. \o Slprii of tinlirniul Jury Inv tloii Oi'ili-red. An Investigation of the competency cf the federal court Jurors In the Outcalt case or an Inquiry whether attempts are made to unduly Influence them as the trial pro gresses hss not been begun and there Is no sign of Its beginning. When Judge Dundy declared that he had heard reports that sundry parties , among whom were women , were trying to fix the Jury , he directed the district altorney to call the matter before the grand Jury for thorough Investigation , and the Impression was that this would be dene at once , but the trial of the case proceeds without Interrup tion , and the grand Jury Is busying Itself with other matters. It has been suggested by some that the Importance of such an. Investigation would be much diminished after the trial Is con cluded and particularly If the result should be acquittal , since a retrial would then be Impossible , If It were found that certain Jurors were not qualified to sit or be-come disqualified after being sworn. HIS SOX AVII.I. NOT Itl-II'AY HIM. Tale of an Old .111111 at the 1'ollee .Station. Carl Lentz , an old man , appeared at the police station yesteiday to swear out n war rant for the arrei-t of his son Dan.

When the place on Tenth street was first opened he states that he loaned Dan all the money that ho had at that time lu his possession , which amounted to a Httlo over $100. Dan finally closed out the restaurant at Fifteenth and Dodge and has been living with Mrs. Hokum at 7US South Sixteenth on thu proceeds evar since. The elder Lentz charges that he has demanded the money due him from his son soveial times slnci the sale of the property , but hau had to ba satisfied with promises that wcro never fulfilled. Yesterday he called at the flat where his son lives and asked to see Dan , and h ; alleges that ho was not only re fused nn audience , but was thrown out bodily by Mrs. Hokum.
