WASHINGTON' , March 7. The plans for
the thrcu big battleship" ) authorized by the
naval appropriation bill Just passed arc be
ing worked out. Tlio general features of the
ships have been defined , subject to the
approval of thn secretary.
The battleships will bo a thousand tons
larger than the Mnlno rtnd .Missouri clnss.
of ix total displacement of 13,500 tons , mak
ing them the largest ships In the American
JM\J , and about ctiuul In dimensions to the
best typo of battleships now being con
structed abroad under the now practice.
Though larger than the Maine , the shlpi
will bo laid on almost the same lines , being
only n llttlo greater In every dimension.
They Mill carry each four 12-Inch guns In
turrets. This caliber Is an Inch less than
the guns carried by the Oregon , but by Im
proved design they will bo almost equal lu
penetrative power.
Thn S-lnrh guns of the Oregon type , al
though they tlld very effective work at
Santiago and Manila , have been abandoned.
Hut Instead of eight 8-Inch guns , the new
fillips will have no less than sixteen guns
of C-lnch caliber , all rapid ilrcrs , and twenty
six-pounders. This battery represents the
Ideal proportion between guns as taught by
the experience of our own fleets during the
Spanish war and of the Chinese iinil Japa
nese \cssols during their late wnr. The
Hpood of the now ships will bo eighteen
knots , an advance of two knots over the
Oregon class , but just equal to that of the
new Malno.
Kor protection against the cnemj's shot
the battleships will have but one belt of
nnnor , seven feet six Inches broad , running
clear around the watir line , three feet six
Inches obovo and four feet below. It wns
originally planned to have this armor six
teen inches thick , but the designers have
now reduced the thickness to twelve Inches.
Aot Alnny ! Ww IVitturcN.
Thli change NOB made In order to
strengthen the casements , which will bo
made seven and one-half Inches thick Iti-
fctend of Iho Inches Altogether there Is a
notable absence of now features In the de
signs for the battleships , which fact , taken
In connection with the small amount of
progress reported In the designs for the
Maine class , may be nn Indication Hint our
naval designers lm\o very nearly approached
the Ideal battleship In their work. As far
ns these particular ships arc concerned , the
fact that the Navy department Is limited
to ? 300 per ton In the purchase of armor
makes It Impossible to build them In the
absence of further legislation and the de
partment will be obliged to content Itself
with the mere preparation of detailed plans
during the coming summer.
The six cruisers of the unnrmored type
provided for can , however , bo built , and
Chief Constructor Hichboni has already
been working out the designs on lines ap
proved by the Hoard of Uuicau Chiefs. H
Is the purpose of the Navy department to
place contracts for these ships at the earli
est possible moment. They represent n type
of cruiser which would bo of the greatest
value Just now for our foreign service. The
plans call for vessels of about 2,600 tons
and the ships will be Improved Marblcheads ,
BO to speak , being GOO tons larger than ihlps
of that class and with better batteries and
moro coal capacity.
A most Important consideration Is that
they will bo sheathed with wood over the
steel hull and fully coppered , enabling them
to keep the seas oven In tropical waters for
many months without being compelled to
seek a dry dock. The battery will made up
of six C-lnch guns for each ship. The cost
it expected to bo considerably moro than
that of the Marblohead , which was ? G71,000 ,
for the amount allowed by congress was
$1.141,800 each. This difference is accounted
for by the many Improvements made in
the Marblehead's designs , a notable one be
ing the use ofwater tube boilers , giving
much greater speed and economy.

WASHINGTON , March 7. The results of
an exhaustive Investigation of the use of
sugar as food are given In n bulletin soon
to bo Issued by the Department of Agri
culture. The bulletin attributes the great
popularity of sugar to Its pleasant flavor , to
gether with what Is no\v known of Its
nutritive \aluc. It draw a the conclusion
that "People eat as much sugar as they
can get and the consumption of sugar In
different countries Is , In general , proportional
tional to their wealth. " The English-speak
ing people nro said to bo the largest sugar
users. England consumed In 1895 eighty-
six pounds per capita and the United States
sixty-four pounds , although still larger
amounts are said to bo consumed In sugar-
growing dlsttlcts , largely In the form of
ripe cane. Between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000
tons nro used annually In the different
countries of the world. Discussing the
practical food values the bulletin stamps a
mealy boiled potato or a lump of laundry
starch as near akin to n lump of sugar.
The conclusions summed up are :
The unwholesomeness of sweetened foode
and their utilization by the system Is largely
a question of quantity and concentration.
In the American culsino sugar IB used with
too many kinds of food , with a consequent
loss In variety and piquancy of flavor In
Iho different dishes. The nutty flavor of
grains and the natural taste of mild fruits
Is concealed by the addition of large quan
tities of sugar. In the diet of the under
nourished larger amounts of ougar doubt
less would help to full nutrition , and In
the food of the well-to-do starch often is
not diminished In proportion ns sugar Is
diminished. Sugar , while a useful and
valuable food , Is a concentrated one. and ,
therefore , should bo eaten lu moderate
quantities and Is beat fitted for assimila
tion by the body when supplied with other
materials which dilute It or give It thu
necessary bulk. Persons of active habit and
good digestion will add sugar to their food
almost at pleasure without Inconvenience ,
while these of sedentary life should use very
moderately. Four or five ounces of sugar
Is as much as an adult under ordinary
conditions should use. "

WASHINGTON , March 7. The purpose of
the administration to bend largo reinforce
ments to General Otis at Manila presents
a serious pioblcm of transportation to the
officers of the quartermaster's department.
About 7,500 troops are under orders to pre
pare for tiansportatlon to the Philippines by
way of San Francisco and the Pacific ocean.
The only troop ships available for this ser
vice are the Arizona , Scandla , Newport ,
Morgan City und Zealandln. The last
named Is the only one at San Francisco , all
the others being In the Orient.
The Zealandla Is now undergoing repairs
and will not bo ready for sea for three
weeks. It Is n small steamer with a carryIng -
Ing capacity of only COO men. The steamer
City of Pueblo , which has boon used In
the government transport service , has been
reclaimed by Its owners on the expiration
of the contract tlmo ns they have refused
to renew the contract.
The main dependence of the government ,
therefore. In the transportation of roln-
fi reements to General Otis rests upon the
transports now In eastern waters. AccordIng -
Ing to the latest advices these vessels will
sail for San Krauclsco during the next few
da3. Their schedule is as follows : Arizona
leaves Hong Kong March 9 ; Newport , Scan
dla and Morgan City leave Nagasaki March
10 , 11 and 12. It will take these vessels
about a month to make the long trip across
the Pacific.
In addition to thcso vessels three other
transports will shortly bo available for the
service between the Philippines and th
United States. These are th Grant , Sher
man and Sheridan , now In various itages
of the route between New York and Manila.

WASHINGTON , March 7. Although no
official Information on that point has yat
reached Washington the authorities are con
fident that the new Spanish cabinet will
eecuro the ratification of the peace treaty.
It Is believed with all confidence that the
new cabinet Intends to devote Itself princi
pally to Internal reforms ; that It perceives
the Injury that would bo Inflicted upon
Spanish trade by senseless opposition to the
treaty and that H will countenance the
continuance of the present satisfactory re
lations between the United Statea and Spain.
It Is pointed out that the Cortes , having
adjourned , It Is again within the power of
the Spanish queen regent , under the torma
of the treaty Itself , to ratify that document
without further reference to the Cortes and
It may bo that the now cabinet has decided
upon some such plan as this.

WASHINGTON , March 7. Although the
cabinet was In session today an hour longer
than usual the entire tlmo was occupied In

ury to Invite a limited number of well
known architects to submit plans and spec
ifications for public buildings and to accept ,
In his discretion , such ns nro satisfactory.
The situation In the Phllpplnes was dis

message of sympathy to Mrs. Hudyard Kip
ling , occasioned by her husband's serious
Illness , ils commented upon by the press
hero today.
The Vosstscho Zeltung says : "This now
manifestation of the emperor's and the

ments that Germany Is about to declare a
tariff war on the United States. The Ger
man nation , on the contrary , Is strongly
desirous of living in pcaco with America ,
economically ab well as otherwise , but hopes
for full reciprocity and that the legitimate
interests of Germany will bo consldeied. "
The above remarks and Emperor William's
action are apparently babed on the theory
of his majesty that Hudyard Kipling's

his wife IB American and his sympathy for
this country make him an American In

Do AngellB1 welcome was cordial last even-
tag and his Eucceas wan immediate. The
book of his opera was written by Stanislaus
Stange , who has had considerable experi
ence as a producer of this kind of theatrical
literature. The music was composed by
Julian Edwards , who stands well up among
the workers In this field. His present scoio
has pretUnesa , melody and Jingle , with an
occasional moment of solid achievement , and
ills orchestration has unusual felicity. This
Is mot a work , however , to bo Judged frag-
mcntarily. Although separate essays might
l.o written on the book , score , scenery , cos
tuming and performance , fairness demands
that Wio production , which Is quite beautl-
lul , bo viewed as a whole.
TUB first act represents a flower market ,
but moro than that. It Is architecturally Jn-
torostlng and ono of the happiest examples
of the scenic artist's taste and skill that
has been Been hcie this jear. The second
act ia a ball room , circular In form , wUh an
Imposing dome. It Is done in terra cotta
and through the large windows Is seen an
effect of atmosphere and sky that appeals to
both the sentiment and the eye. In perfect
blending with the scenic splendors of "Tho
Jolly Musketeer" arc the costumes. For In
stance , a group of pages In the second act
wear drceses that harmonize exquisitely with
the general color scheme and the fabrics
ot the women's dresses are Ingeniously
chosen < o present a double effect of variety
and harmony. This shows the artistic skill
and mlnuto care with which the really su
perb scheme Is worked out.
When the opera opens there Is almost an
Instant Impression cf brilliancy and anima
tion , and as a troop of musketeers mag-
nltlcently accoutred inarches on In quick
tlmo and with a graceful swing , admiration
llnda expression In a spontaneous burst ol
applause. In most stage diversions of this
kind individual proceedings are relatively
unimportant ; but It must bo admitted that
Mr. Do Angells and IlU associate princi
pals are potential factors In making up the
sum of this particular diversion ,
Do Angells playa the part of a roystoring
French nobleman , whoso uniform Is
stained of toner with mixed drinks than It
is with blood , and who woos the wivca and
i sweethearts of the rest of the muaketeew
! while they are nwny fighting. The part is
I frivolous , necessarily , but excruciatingly
funny. Born "Just to pass the tlmo away , "
as ho puts It in a ballad which makes a
great hit , Jeffer on sings and dances and
Jokes as of yore , eave that the Jokes are
new and the Do AngellB nether extremities
nro Jist | as funny and as nlmblo as ever.
Ho copies no ono and has an Incomparable
style of hU own that never falls to be
funny.
Harry OMncdonough as Dldot assists Mr.
Do Angells capably In the many funny
ecenea where merriment , music and dancing
piny the chief parts. Their roysterlng
songs , "Sweet Oblivion , Drink. " and
"Woman , Woman , Source of All Our
nllfa , " were especially well received.
Van Rcnbselaer Wheeler , who played the
part of captain of tbo musketeers , has a
strong 'baritone voice of good quality and
slnys with perfect enunciation. Maude Hol-
llns la a pretty and winsome llttlo soubrette
and Is quite charming In tbo role of Yvetto ,
tbo Innkeeper's daughter. She has a sweet
hoprano voice which sheuses advan
tageously. Bertha Waltzlnger , who has been
neon hero often before with others of the
comic opera comedians , was hardly up to
her previous standard and disappointed
many of her former admirers who are In
clined to think that she U going backward
rather than advancing In her line. It Is
rather disappointing that Omaha could
have but ono performance of "The Jolly
MusXetccrs "
WE USED TO SING
"Tomorrow the sun may be
shining altho' it looks gloomy to
day. " We have been trying to
sing it for the last month , but we
are getting very weary , for Old Sol
still hides his face.
New Suits and Waists are
reaching our department daily.
When you are ready take the lift
and ride to the second floor you
will feel repaid , for ladies say such choice things
are seldom seen in this neck of the woods.
All the bad weather has not kept the crowd
from our Dress Goods and Silk aisle , Lookers
become buyers and they in turn tell their friends
and so the good work goes on. Some of the novel
colors are going speedily. Call and take a look
no one will importune you to buy.
Ane don't forget the basement.

ADVOCATE OF THEOSOPHY
I , Tturer Smytliv l > < M'lar - that Death
IN a TriiiiHltlon from One Iloily
to Another.
A number of these Interested In thcosophy
and the science of occultism cathored nt
Myrtle hall to hear Albert E. S. Smythu
lecture on "Occultism " Mr. Smvtho began
by showing that there Is really but llttlo
difference between the modern schools of
phllohophy and science and those of the an
cients , What differences exist nro all In
favor of the ancle-nts. Ho took the
trinity of philosophy , tlmo , space
and causation and showed that ex
nctly the same sort of a trinity existed
among the ancient scientists in matter and
force and consciousness
The principle Is the basis of all the math
ematics of the present day. In this case
the tilnlty or triple principle consists of the
point , the line and the plane. From these
tbreo nothings the itcleiice of mathematics
Is deduced. In the science of chemistry thu
eamo principle Is found , the atom , the molecule -
culo and the afllnlty , which draws the
atoms together and forms them Into substan
tial matter.
The theory of the transmigration of souls
was taken up nl length by the speaker , who
said that the Inner consciousness of man ,
that which directs and controls the budy--
: ho eoul , In fact must have always existed
as a pait of the great infinite mid must
.heroforo Jlvo forover. Death is only a
ransltlon from ono body to another , the
soul taking with It whatever knowledge mill
wisdom U may have gathered during the
Ife of the body.
