Admiral Bowles Calls Attention to Lack
of Progress in Construction.
DELAY CAUSED BY STEEL STRIKE
Jto Fireproof Wood round Entirely Sat
is factory to the Bnreaa More Naval
Coswiracuoa wanted ilaval Yard
Limited by Dry Dock.
WASHINGTON, Oct 21. The an
nual report of Admiral Bowles, chief
of the bureau of construction and re
pairs, calls attention to the slow
progress in the construction of the
ships made in the last year, owing to
strikes and delays of delivery of
armor and steel forgings. He points
out that under the present system for
the purchase of armour the responsi
sibility for delays emanating from
this sources rests with the government
and renders it liable to suits for dam
age by the ship contractors. The con
struction bureau, he says, has made
considerable progress toward the
standardization of ship fittings, which,
he says, will reduce the original cost
of ships of the navy and decrease the
expense of their maintenance. He
touches upon the tests of fireproofed
wood conducted by his bureau and
says that while the products of the
two processes submitted both possess
desirable qualities, neither wholly
commends tiself to adoption by the
navy.
Admiral Bowles strongly recom
mends that the floating dry dock at
Havana, recently purchased from the
Spanish government, be sent to the
site of the new naval station at Olon
gapo, Philippine islands, as soon as
the repairs on it are completed. It is
essential, he says, for the efficiency of
the navy on the Asiatic station, both
from a strategical and economical
point, that the government should be
in possession of a dry dock in the
Philippines at the earliest possible
moment. He sayg the dock Just pur
chased can be placed in condition for
use of vessels up to 10,000 tons dis
placement within the limit of the
sum appropriated by congress for its
acquirement
Admiral Bowles earnestly recom
mends an increase in the number of
naval constructors, which is now lim
ited by law to forty. This number,
be says, Is entirely inadequate to the
present needs of the service and he
urges that the limit of the corps be
Increased by congress to sixty. He
Bays the efficiency of the navy yards
throughout the country is largely lim
ited by the lack of dry docks and mod
ern buildings for the equipment of the
yards. The navy yards, however,
continue to present a fruitful field for
the application of modern engineer
ing to their mechanical equipment
as well as modern methods of organ
ization to the scheme of administra
tion, which, if properly applied, should
result in greater efficiency in the con
duct of the work and greater econ
omy in the expense, which is now out
of proportion to the work done.
Admiral Bowles says the construc
tion bureau has been taxed to its ut
most by the work of designing new
vessels and supervising vessels now
building, and that these conditions
bave been aggravated by a lack of
such navy department buildings avail
able for . the technical and clerical
staffs of the bureau. He reports a
lack of draftsmen of the requisite
qualifications and expresses a desire
to obtain for the bureau more grad
uates of technical schools.
Fire Consuming Bay Field .
LA CROSSE, Wis., Oct. 21. Late
this afternoon fire was discovered in
the hay fields which surround this
city. The flames are now burning ev
erything before them and the firemen
are powerless owing to the fire being
outside the city limits and beyond
water service. It is believed the fire
was started by tramps. Upon these
lands are stacked thousands of tons
of bay. Although the loss cannot be
estimated at present it is thought it
will be enormous.

The War department officials were
somewhat dismayed at the presrj report
of the new setback on the island of
Samar.
WASHINGTON, Oct 19. The fol
lowing brief cablegram from General
Chaffee reporting the fight of the Ninth
infantry in Samar Wednesday was re
ceived at the War department this
afternoon:
MANILA, Oct 19 Corbin, Adiutant
General, Washington: Forty-six men,
Company E, Ninth infantry, under
First Lieutenant George W. Wallace,
in field, lower Candara, Samar, was
attacked by 400 bolomen October 16.
Our loss, ten killed, six wounded;
names not received. Eighty-one of the
enemy left dead on the field. Enemy
beaten off.
The Ninth infantry, which suffered
there, was the same organization that
engaged In the latest fight at Banga
jon, though In this case the company
attacked it not known. ,
An inspection of the dispositions
made of the troops on the island of
Samar shows that before the Balanglga
fight there were no less than thirty
eight separate posts. These were so
disposed that supplies could be con
veyed to the troops by water. Gen
eral Hughes has left Samar and gone
to the island of Cebu to recuperate,
which accounts for the assumption of
the command on Samar by General
Smith. General Hughes was worn out
and suffered from the effects of a se
vere fall received while chasing insur
rectionists in the mountains of Samar.
NATIVE KAVYAIIANS DYING OFF
la Addition to Decreasing In Number
Will Not Work on Plantation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. Henry E.
Cooper, territorial secretary and for
several months prior to his departure
for the United States acting governor
of Hawaii, has discussed with Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson the con
ditions in the territory. One of the
main alms of Mr. Cooper's trip here is
to acquaint the administration with
the actual situation in Hawaii. In his
conference with Secretary Wilson he
emphasized the seriousness of the labor
problem. The natives are dying off
rapidly, the mortality being in the
neighborhood of forty deaths to the
thousand, and foreign laborers are get
ting out of the country much more
rapidly than they are coming in. The
encouragement of Chinese labor, said
he, is regarded as the most promis
ing solution and the territorial govern
ment is anxious that large numbers
of laborers shall come in from China.
The sugar cane crop that should have
been harvested at the beginning of
July, he said, Is not yet off the field
and will not be harvested before next
month. The natives generally will
not work. The coffee industry is lan
guishing and many things that should
be raised there have to be bought out
side the islands.
Secretary Wilson informed Mr, Coop
er of a report from the superintendent
of the agricultural station In Honolulu
showing, among other things, that it
costs 26 an acre to fertilize the cane
crop in Hawaii and pointed out the
big farm wage which has to be paid to
farm laborers, viz., $40 a month, In
cluding board, which Is approximately
910 more than In this country.

gregntlou for Transportation.
CHICAGO, Oct. 18. An Iowa cor
poration, capitalized at $luu,UO0,0OO
and organized for the purpose of con
trolling railroad properties be
bonded at between $700,000,000 and
$750,000,000 such in brief is the plan
In brief of the Morgan-Hill syndicate
as disclosed by the incorporatkm at
Burlington, Iowa, of the Chicago, Bur
lington &. Qulncy Railroad company.
Details of the plan, which is by
far the most stupendous ever con
ceived in the ral.way world, were
learned here yesterday and bav,s set
the financial and railway worlds talk
ing. None of the officers of the Bur
lington would consent to give the
slightest information regarding the or
ganization of the new company, but
despite this, facts came to light which
made it certain that the Iowa corpor
ation Is the proprietary company
which Is to take over all the securities
of the Burlington, the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern rail
roads. This being the case, the Morgan
coterie, when the plan is perfected,
will be able, by the ownership of a
bare majority of the $100,000,000
stock of the new company, to control
absolutely three big railway systems,
aggregating over 18,000 miles, having
a gross earning capacity of over $100,
000,000 yearly, and a present capitali
zation of $505,000,000. Furthermore, if
It Is seen fit to do so, the contiM
of these properties can be obtained
without the payment of a single dol
lar of the capital stock represented
by the new company. In the opinion
of financiers, the scheme is sufficient
ly bold to cause a Napoleon In the
game to pause before taking the
plunge and the result will be watched
with the most Intense Interest.
In general, the plan Is for the new
or parent company to take the stock
of the three companies involved and
exchange it for collateral trust bonds
on a certain basis. From all the in
formation obtainable the basis of ex
change for the Northern Pacific pre
ferred Is ten collateral trust bonds for
$100 each, bearing 314 per cent inter
est, for every ten shares of stock, and
in addition twenty-five shares of the
capital stock of the new company.
The terms for the transfer of the
Great Northern stock are said to be
almost double the amount offered for
the Northern Pacific. The latter is
paying 4 per cent, while the Great
Northern, which Is all preferred stock,
pays 7 per cent.
It is said that the Morgan-Hill peo-
plo have determined to permit all
tockholdera, or rather to urge all,
to accept the terms of the transfer.
Whether or not this will bo done
makes little difference, as the syndi-
:ate already controls a majority of
the stock of all the three companies.
The transfer of the Burlington stock
has for some time been In progrefV,,
the terms being two 4 per cent bonds
for every share of stock. If the en
tire Issue of stock is thus transferred
tbo bond issue for this compnny will
be $220,000,000.
PRESIDENT WANTS TREATIES.

lowlng out the policy of the late

The failure to renew this treaty is re

REPORT ON LABOR DISPUTES.
Machinery for Settling Difference Inade
quate for the Work.
WASHINGTON, Oct 19,-The indus
trial commission today made public its
report on labor disputes and arbitra
tion. It Is a comprehensive document
reviewing the testimony of the wit
nesses who have appeared before the
commission on the subject and takes
up In detail the evidence on collective
bargaining, conciliation and arbitra
tion and the laws and court decisions
governing labor combinations. Local
systems of collective bargaining and
agreements between employes, it is
stated, have been most highly devel
oped In the building trades, the brew
ery, boot and shoe, banking, wood
working and metal working trades,
some branches of the clothing trade
and In tho transportation business;
In other words, where both employers
and employes are strongest organized.
By far the larger number of written
agreements prescribing the conditions
of iabor are made between organiza
tions of working men on one side and
employers acting Individually on the
other. There la a growing movement
In favor of the collective bargaining,
conciliation and arbitration as between
organizations of employers and em
ployes, covering an industry through
out the country or throughout large
sections where the conditions of busi
ness are generally similar.
A growing movement is noted to
ward establishing Btate anl local ma
chinery for arbitration in the bitu
minous coal Industry, where there is
now, at least In most districts, no ef
fective method of disposing of the mi
nor disputes which arise from time to
time. In this trade there Is especially
no permanent joint committee of the
entire central competitive field to
which differences are taken. Systems
of arbitration as to specific disputes
nave been, however, established in a
formal manner and on a national scale
In stove molding, of which the foun
dry, the machinists (now not In exist
ence) and the printing adcs. The
state boards of arbitration are doing
much toward furthering industrial
peace.
