DRY DUCK ON LONG TRIP
Offictn of Navy Greatly Intsrtiled in Trip
f the Dewey.
FROM AMERICAN PORT TO SUB1G IAY
I.onsest Aerate Kver Planned for
Floating Ury Dock Is that
Relna" tnrterlnken from
Solomon's Island.
WASHINGTON. Dec. aS.-When the big
floating dry dock Iewey today fished up
the last one of Its eight lO.oOh-pound mush
room anchors and started off down Chesa
peake bay from Solomon's Island on n
ln.nno-mlle cruise to the Philippines, It be
came the sub.lect of deepest concern to the
Navy department and to every American
sailor until It safely drops those anchors
In the quiet waters of Sublg bay. For
many naval officers say they are really
verv Jnubtful whether the trip can be
made in safety. The Havana floating dock
was towed down to that port from Scot
land, but that voyage was short In com
parison with that lying before the Dewey,
and the rierils of the way were much
fewer, with many more chances to make
safe harbors in case of bad weather and
to enable the towboats to take on coal.
The tow that most nearly approximated
the Dewey in American history was that
of the big double turretcd monitor Mlanto
nnmoli In 1M7. It was then the very latest
type of naval architecture and was sent
across the Atlantic and into the Mediter
ranean as a "show ship" to give the
Europeans an Idea of how far ahead of
them the Americans had gotten as a re
sult of the sen fighting of the civil war.
One of the officers, now a rear admiral,
who helped to gel the monitor back to
this side of the world, tells an entertaining
story of the difficulties of that- trip.
Trip of a Monitor,
The monitor could not carry enough coal
to cross at full speed under its own Fteam,
so It was loaded with coal boxes on the
decks until the ship was almost awash
end started at a four-knot speed across
, the Atlantic. Between four and five knots
' Is the calculated speed of the Dewey. The

Inquiries regarding the meeting to Chair
man Knapp, who said the committee de
sired the assistance of the commission In
preventing rebates, and through the repre

to put a stop to discrimination in favor
of large shippers.
Committee lo Aid Commission.
Through Mr. Stubbs. who was the chief
speaker, and practically all the other
members of the committee, the railway In
terests were represented as being nnxlnus
to have the commission assist a i all way
committee In looking Into all grievances.
Mr. Knapp snld the speaker even ex
pressed a willingness to have such i com
mittee headed by a man without railway
Interests who shall act as the go-between
In all conferences between the railway
committee and the commission.
Several of the railway men assured the
commission that the public conscience has
been aroused by rebate disclosures and that
many prominent shippers have announced
they will accept no concessions of any sort
which may cause, them to be classed with
corporations which have proilted by special
rates. This S"ntlment. It was urged by the
railway men. will assist materially In the
movement of the railways to abolish re
bates. Mr. Knapp and the other two members of
the commission who attended the eonfrr-
cessions of any sort from tne commission,
but merely desii-ed co-operation.

was made by the Interstate Commerce com

given by all present with the further
promise to report every illegal transaction
which may come to their knowledge or
of which they may have well grounded
suspicion.
hile this visit was unsolicited, as abova
stated, it was not unwelcome, and the
commission has no reason to doubt the
sincerity of the movement or Its prac
tical value. That It will result ill the
complete discontinuance of wrongful prac
tices is perhaps too much to expect, lor
time alone will test the degree of Its use
fulness, but a marked Improvement in Ihe
observance of tariff rates may be fairly
anticipated. If the promised co-operation
la actually and continuously afforded, the
payment of rebates and the granting of
secret advantage will be reduced, it is
hoped, lo a minimum.

The latest developments in the famous

day, when papers, were (lied In the first
steps by Selby to, annex to the corporate
limits of the tow a strip two rods wide
and five and sjm'f miles hang, which will
take In the present site a the Walworth
county court house;' C'onsllrtrtng the fact
that the present' population of Selby Is less

territory of that 'length terges on the stu
pendous, but the advocates of Selby ns
the county seat believe they will irtimeed
in the attempt 'and thereby obtain the
court house, for which they have fought so
long. Bangor has a populatlmi of but nine

the state census Was taken In May. pince

drillers at work on the location of the plies
for the- permanent railway bridge found
the hard shale which they desired for a
foundation at a depth of forty feet on the
bar In the middle ol the streum. To be
certain that this was not it thin strata
they sent the drill down fifty feet Into It
without nndltig a break. The drilling for
artesian wells here shows that this struta
is about H) feet in thickness, and that It
will be all that Is desired for a firm founda
tion. The drill has been moved to another
corner ' of the location of this pier and
farther soundings will be made. Two cars
of material for the transfer boat to be
used here during the summer season, when
the pile bridge cannot be left In, is now
on the ground and it is hoped to get to
work on the boat by the lust of this week.

PIERRK, 8. p., Dec I.-i8iHeial.)-The
December collections of state taxes show
better than for the corresponding quarter
last year, although the total returns are
slightly les. For last year, with a de
ficiency levy of ' mills, the receipts for
the quarter were ' gSfl.gei. 13, and for this
yeer the total, without a deficiency levy,
were IM.tlte.TS. Outside of the deficiency
levy all but throe counties show an in
crease over last year, and the decrease in
these three cumblned is less than )5i. The
people of the state are In goal financial
sliape and are puviug up their taxes. There
has also been a large amount of transfer
ring for the year, and this helps to clear
up bad: tnxes.

In making the proposition to give to the
city the t.nnn feet of tunnel It was really
giving $.w.tco. for that was the original
cost, or rather It was (Xl.nan. This was
not to be lost sight of. He also declared
that the Stock Yards company already
paid K) per rent of the entire city taxes,
though he thought it was fully as high
as It couli be. he said be did not object ;
but he would be much pleased If the com
mittee In submitting its report would give
the company credit for paying all the
taxes.
The terms of the I.O.um cash offer were:
The city was to Issue bonds to the amount
of llnO.COn and of this Issue the stock yards
would agree to buy and turn In for can
cellation 3i,oiin within five years, giving
a bond with a surety company to do so.
The proposition, so far as the sentiment
could be Judged last night, was thought
to be favorable. The committee was in
clined to be deliberate In the matter.
Mr. Kenyon stated that this was the final
proposition.
The committee adjourned to meet next
Saturday evening, when Mr. Kenyon will
be present. According to the expressions
of several of the members of the com
mittee they will report favorable to the
sceeptance of the stock yards' proposi
tion and will recommend the Issue of the
$tS0,"U0 bonds. The most of them are will
ing to concede that the Stock Yards com
tuny really pay llnO.OflO toward the new
sewer beside bearing Its portion of the
taxes.

ew Stationery Bids Asked.
Bids have been readvertised for the requi
sitions for the official stationery for the
year of W.. It is not known whether nil
the former bidders will 'resubmit bids in the
matter. There has been considerable change
in the last requisition. The fact that cer
tain bidders offered to furnish cer'aln
books, which are as usual purchased for
ii bout $15 at the surprisingly low price of V.,
atid other bids quite as unusual, has appar
ently opened the eyes of the parties having
the requisitions in charge. In one Instan-e
rt lcfist, tint of the Jail record, enough
were found on hand to last four years. So
the bidders who knew of this fact were nble
to bid SI. knowing well enough that they
would nver be called upon to furnish a l;ill
record. The same was true of the otlnr
low bids. It Is stated as a positive fact
that thKie was only one bid before tlir;
council that was bid on the actual business
proposition of furnishing all the articles
named, and that was the highest bid of p II.
The total of this hid was above Sjua. The
lowest bid wus IJP1 or thereabout. Since
the rejection of all the bids It is believed
that the requisition will be restrict, il to the
actual purchases required for the year. lf
Is n. well k-iown feet that although the lid
for last year was low enough to represent .i
loss to the contractor, the city paid out for
i the emergency printing at a rate which
brought the total up to $1,700. The bid for
j the 1!I05 requisition wns a little over Mui. It
I Is believed that whereas the contractor miiy
I have lost on last year's bid he recovered I'
I and more by tho higher rate asked for tlv
I emergency printing. On this there was
nothing to say what he should charge. !t
Is said that members In authority are look
ing for a remedy for this condition.

'lnlnr Adams gamier" at the Kraa.
One of the most Interesting and enter
taining of stories of New Kligland life has
been made Into a very amusing comedy,
and Is now Iwing offered at Hie Krug
theater. Charles Felton Pidgin was In a
healthy frame of mind When he conceived
the Incidents of his story, and he reduced
them to writing without spoiling a single
sltuutlon by overplaying It. Kvery essential
to hold the Interest Is there, snd all In
such a wholesome stmosphere as to al
most cause the mush-wearied reader to
rise up and call the name of Pidgin
blessed. And Justine Adams has drama
tized the story In the same delightful way.
preserving nil Its quaint dellclousness of
characterization, and Its dramatic poten
tiality at the same time. It Is a play
that everybody ought to see, if only to
. learn thereby how good a play can be
; tnade of New England life, and still not
have In It an erring daughter, a wayward
j son. a mortgage on the farm, nor a town
drunkard. All of these standard elements
of the "heart Interest" play this one lack,
but it has the heart Interest, Just the
same, and Its appeal Is to the emotions
that lie a little deeper than the surface.
The company having the piece In hand
Is in the main well qualified for Its pre
sentation, although some of the finer Incb
dents of the action are sacrificed appar
ently "to get the laugh." Miss Lucy
MI'llke.,. as the blind girl, who Is after
wards restored to sight, Is clever enough
to enlist the interest for her role, although
much sympathy goes out to Undy rutnani
as played by Marlon Hutchlns. Miss Curtis
overacts a bit in presenting Mrs. Putnsm.
William A. Williams is a manly nnd con
vincing Qulncy Adams Sawyer, and J. F.
Beck does very well as 'Zekld Pettlnglll.
The character parts are very well prev
sen ted.
The opening erformance last night was
witnessed by a very appreciative audience,
who apparently enjoyed every moment of
the play. The engagement continues till
after Saturday night, with a matinee on
Saturday afternoon.

bit of news is the fact that a second small

original cottage at Pine Knob. It Is fur

wise comfortably fitted up.
Mr. Wllmer. the president's friend and

the presidential plans for fun and relaxa

concerned lest the president's desire for
complete retirement during his holiday
should be thwarted by a too great anxiety
on the part of the public to know of his
every movement.

"The sentiment in Nebraska Is general
against the railroads and their methods lit
manipulating state politics. , The sentiment"
will find expression In the next election
and I believe tne members of the next
legislature and the next state officers will
be men who are willing to give the people a
square deal, as well as the. railroads."
Thus did Senator Fries of Arcadia, candi
date for governor, ss a republican, express
himself Wednesday night at the Puxlon.
"A number of conditions combine to bring
about this sentiment." continued the sena
tor. "Flist, the last legislature did noth
ing. There is no getting aruUuil the fact
that we failed to enact that railroad rate
legislation demanded by the people of the
state. This many people, attributed to the
Influence the railroads had over the legis
lature; and then we failed to pass on anti
pass law. Following that the railroads
come along and refused to pay their taxes.
This has stirred up the people lo a greHl
extent srd the fa-nllment that has been
(rented will not sbate unfi the people, as
well as the railroads, get a square deal.
Looks for f'onaervntl ir Man.
"I believe the next governor will Jie a
very conservative man. I believe thcw.all
roods will have sufficient strength to defeat
any very radicnl antl-rallrosd man and 1
believe the people will reliife to elect any
man who Is tainted with' rallroadlsni. The
candidate to be elected must lie a, man who
Is broad enough to give the railroads a
square deal and at the same lime look after
the interests of the people.
"At tills time It Is impossible to tell how
the fight In Valley county will ooma out.
John Wall and Petr Mortensen. and I are
the most 'ntlmate friends, and if . I find
that 1 stand no show of election 1 will
gladly get out of the way. If I thought Mr.
Wall could land the place Treasurer Mot -tensen,
I understand, has refused so fur
to allow his name to be used as a candidal. ,
but lf he should conclude to run, he will
easily get our county, and in. .fact I think
he will sweep the slate. I would get out of
the race If he becomes a candidate."
Some time ago It was reported that Sen
ator Fries had withdrawn as a candidate
for governor, but this proved to be a mis
take. Senator Fries Is a candidate ami Is
In Omaha feeling the political pulse and Is
very much encouraged over what thu
people are telling him
