WASHINGTON, July 9-The construc
tion officers of the navy will not be aided
In preparing plana for the monster 20.000
ton battleship by the plans of the English
ship nreadnaugltt.- So far the British ad
miralty has been successful In preventing
any part of the dalgna or plan of the
large fighting n.achlne of their navy from
falling Into the hands of other nations.
Such information aa the United States
navy possesses of th; Dreadnaught has
been of no service In designing the new
ahlp provided In the last naval appropria
tion act. The fact that the plans of the
Dreadnaught are so closely guarded is
given as a reason why the' plans of the
big ship for t ho fnlted. Slates should not
be made public;, aa will be the case when
the t,erm of the act are) compiled with, as
it expressly says that the planj must be
submitted- -to' congress before contract lor
the new shift are made.
Delay on Training- Ship.
Among the things that are held In abey
ance In the Navy department because there,
Is apparently no pressing necessity for set
tling1 the question is - Uve . constructing of
u. na.vuj training ship on the great, lakes.
More than a year ago provision was made
for building such a ahlp, the Intention
being to have It Used for the naval mllltla
of states bordering on the lakes. Before
anything could be done the question arose
ns to whether the building of such a ship
would nrtf Interfere wlfM the agreement
with Great Britain 'which provides that
war vessels shall not be constructed on
the great lakea by either England or the
I'nlted Statea. While a training vessel Is
technically a war vessel, It could not be
considered In the general acceptance of
the term, because It would not be at all
effective in time of war. Thla is one of
the several questions pending between the
t'nlted States and Great Britain In rela
tion to Canada which remain unsettled.

some heavy tiling on a flat car his right
leg was caught between the end of one that
was being moved and the end of another
and was ground between them. As soon as
was possible ha was released and carried
which books and documents were so sub
sequently considered by the said engineers,
Daniel V". Mead and G. II. Bensenbeig, and
over the protest anil objection of the at
torneys and repre sentatlvca of the city of
Omalia, and of the Water board of. the
cltv of Omaha, and by reaaon of which
said consideration the said engineers, Dnn
lcl W. Mead and G. 11. Bensrnberg. .were
wrongfully induced to give said pmpertl a
a valuation so grossly- In excess of tht?
real value as to make the same fraudulent
and void, and
Whereas, the said engineers, Danll W.
Mead and G. H. Benr.enbeig. In arriving
at their appraised valuation of the water
works, acted illegally and wrongfully In
arriving at their estimate of the valuation.
In the particular that they baaed their
valuation upon the cost of reduplication,
and refused to conlder any and ull other
matters whatsoever bearing upon the real
value of the said properties, - and which
said report does not In fact represent the
real value of said properties, but represents
a fictitious valuation arrived at by Im
proper methods, and
Whereas. The city of Omaha, by an or
dinance passed February 24, 1903, and ap
proved March 2, 1W3, declared that It was
then necessary and expedient for the city
of Omaha to purchase the water works of
the Omaha Water company, and did. by
said ordinance then elect and cletermlne to
make such purchase, and which said or
dinance, waa then parsed, with, the jurpoBe
and Intent of buying the water works
within the rornorate limits of the city of
Omaha, and the property necessary and
appurtenant thereto in the city of Flor
ence, aa the same then existed, and upon
the valuation of said properties as the
same then and there existed, and ' .
Whereaa, The said engineers, Daniel W'.
Mead and O. H. Benienberg. did not ar
rive at their valuation aet down In said
report, as being the valuation of the said
properties at the time when, the said or
dinance waa so Dftssed and approved, but
the said engineers, Daniel W. Mead and
G. H. Benienberg, set down In their said
report what purported to De ineir estimate
of the valuations of the aaid properties
aa they existed July 7. 190H. and that In
the meantime, to-wlt: from Marcn z, iwu,
to July 7, l!V, the prices of Iron pipe, water
mains, hvdrants. valves and machinery
hurt irreatlv enhanced, and that by the
adopting of the said last named date as
iv,a nn. flxlnor the valuation, the city of
Omaha has been greatly wronged and dam

Whereas. The said engineers, Daniel W.
Mead and G. H. Benaeriberg, In ttielr said
report, in estimating the values of the
properties In South Omaha, liat Omaha
and Dundee, and the mains, plpea and
hydrants used for the purpose of supply
in the city of Florence and its inhab
itants with water, did not give to the
same their full and proper valuation, and
refused to take Into account the rents,
profits and revenues arising to the Omaha
Water company from the distribution of
water to South Omaha, Ka-st Omaha, Dun
dee and Florence, but to the contrary ap
praised that part of the property within
South Omaha,. Kast Omaha, Dundee and
Florence aa so much pipe and so many
hydrants in the ground, at their present
estimated value aa Iron water malna and
hydrants, as If the same were entirely dis
connected and separated from the use of
supplying water to the Inhabitants of the
suld reapectlve suburban cities, towns and
villages, and bv reason whereof the valua
tion of the water works fixed upon that
part of the property within the corporate
limits of the city of Omaha. Including the
Intake at Florence, were proportionately
swelled bevond their real value: and the
valuation of the properties In South Omaha,
Kaat Omaha, Dundee and Florence was
proportionately diminished, and that the

In addition to this petition the otllcers
of the Water company served on Mayor
Dahlman and Milton T. Barlow, president
of the water board, a tender of a deed to

than the actual value, which he considered
to be 17.000,000.
This is a copy of the deed tendered by
the water cpmpany:
To the Honorable Mayor, City of
Omaha: The city of Omaha havrhg
elected to purchase the system of water
works operated by the Omaha Water com

' a
C.RKKNFHORO. N. t, l-ly P.-Se retary
of War Taft tonight,' before a meeting of
North Carolina republicans ori the eve of
their state convention delivered a speech
that was generally regarded as the opening
gun of the congressional campaign of 19fi.
The speech dealt with current political
questions. It opened with advice to the
rank and file of the party In North Caro
l'na and the south particularly, nnd re
ferred to the achievements of the parly In
the session of congress Jirst closed The
opera house was packed to the overflowing
by a throng eager to hear the secretary of
war and hundreds of persons were turned
away because of the limited slr.c of the
hall.
Secretary Taft'a Sneer h.
Secretary Taft In opening said that when
ho was Invited to address this meeting
the committee advlaed him "that the poli
tical situation was such that if a proper
effort was made at the coming election It
would b possible to carrj the state for
the republican party." The secretary said:
I believe that nothing that could happen
In the polities In this country would work
greater advantage to tho country at large,
and to the south in particular, than the
breaking up of what lias been properly
known as the "solid south." 1 say this
In no partlsm spirit for I am not one of
those who think that this ;result would
necessarily Increase the prohabllty of the
continuance In power of the republican
party. The solidity of the south has, in
a measure, furnished its oW-n antidote In
restraining many voters In the north who
might have left the republican party but
for what they regard as the injustice and
danger of southern political conditions.
The south has been . kept solid by the
specter of negro domination. and by
stirring up racial prejudices and arousing
unfounded alarm over an impossible return
of reconstruction days., said the secretary.
The question which should address Itself
to the great business interests of the south,
the secretary stated, is how much longer
"the apectre of things past" Is to hold
them to a political allegiance that does
them no good In national politics and de
prives their communities of "the Inestima
ble benefit of the pfeiirwft In local policies
of two parties, each , of which. If It docs
wrong, has a rent chance' of . being pun
ished for Its misconduct."
Mr. Taft contended that If the-southern
people "had ltept up with the times; had
they at the bsllot.box expreased tfielr senti
ments on the' living Issues of the dny, In
stead of allowing themselves to be fright
ened by a spectre and a shadow of the
past, their political Importance as com
munities and the significance of their views
upon. nesKurcs Mid men would have been
vastly enhanced." .' .
"The republican arty . of North Caro
lina," he declared,.- "would -' be much
stronger as a voting' p'arty If all the fed
eral offices were tilled . 'by democrats.
As long as the republican party
In the southern statea shall repreaent little
save a factional chase for federal ofllces,
business men and men of substance In the
community have no desire to enter and In
the result of whirl' thy have, no Inter
est! we may . expei";.Jth present political
conditions of ' the. pniilli'ao continue."

; TuYTilngf "to "the 1ssucs'lrivolve(!rlA'k"tha
comli.g congressional ,,ampalgn. the ., sec
retary pointed out that in November, 1904,
the republican ' parny was continued In
power. Theodore RooRcvelt. he l.sald, ha.1
for more than three years and ft half dis
charged :the duties ,of president. "During
that period' Mr. Roosevelt," he added, "had
again and again, by word and liy act, man
ifested to the people his determination to
pursue the middle. Just and-' Impartial
course by which the 'rich and' pOof should
enjoy the equal protection and suffer the
equal and Just enforcement of the laws.
He recognised this as the platform of the
republican party. He Incurred the hostil
ity of important financial interests by his
action In directing the prosecution to a
successful Issue of the so-called Northern
Securities suit, which prevented a merger
for the purpose of- suppresalng competi
tion of two great lines of railway In
violation of the so-called anti-trust law."
The secretary then said the republican
platform and Mr. Roosevelt pledged' the
further enforcement of the anti-trust law
and the Interstate commerce law to prevent
discrimination against the shipping- public
and to prevent oppressive combination and
monopoly.
Continuing, he said that only a year and
four months have elapsed since Mr. Roose
velt took the oath of office after his elec
tion in 1904, "and yet In that short time
of his term of office the republican party
In congress of the I'nlted States. Inspired
by Mr. Roosevelt's recommendations, has
adopted a railroad rate bill, which greatly
Increased the power of the Interstate
Commerce commission, and which, taken
together with previous legislation before
his election, will certainly' have much to
do In the abolition of violations of unjust
discriminations and abuses."
Promises and Performance.
The secretary said the democratic leaders
are now Indignant ' that the republican
pirty, In carrying out the promises of its
platform, in putting into practice the psln
ciples which they "with superb compla
cency, claim are really covered by a demo
cratic patent." He declared that the demo
cratic leaders have been for years dec-luring
against corporations, but have Insti
tuted no legislative steps In all this time
to restrain abuses. He said:
I ask you to compare democratic prom
ises with republican performances. Inci
dentally, ponder Ihow much would have
been done if Mr. Parker had been elected
and acted on his theory thit the common
law supplied all that was necessary for
the suppression of trusts and the abolition
of rebates. It may be noted also that while
Mr. Bryan has been most emphatic and
eloquent In his description and enunciation
of trusts and abuses of corporate organ
isation and Wealth, his suggested reme
dies for their prompt suppression have
buen very vague, unless indeed his proposal
that the government bnv or condemn all
Interstate railroads, with their Immense
mileage, and maintain and operate thrm
is to be regarded us an immediate, reai'v.
practical and feasible remedy. In view
of this It 1 not a matter for any surprise
that the great combinations and organiza
tions that have in leased I heir prohts and
Kiwrr by evj anil oppressive methods
should fear and dislike Mr. Roosevelt and
his acts In the present much more than
they do Mr, Bryan snd the indefinite dan
gers with which he threatens thm In the
future. Evils are to be surppressed by

Mr. Taft urged that the record of the
present congress, enumerating- Its Impor
tant enactments, "confirm In the most con
vincing; way the claim always made for
the republican party, that It Is an efficient
party for the accomplishment of good, that
It does things and that It carries out Its
promises." He expressed the hope . that
the Philippine tariff bill, now pending In
the senate, will be passed at the next ser
sion. Mr. Taft, after explaining the In
crease In appropriations, declared that In
spite of the Increase there would be a
surplus of $t0,0u0,0fl0 In the treasury after
all the expenditures have been made. . .
Mr. Taft argued against any reaaon for
returning a democratic majority In the next
house, saying, In conclusion, that no party
has ever taken more decisive steps to re
strain the abuses of Irresponsible corporate
Wealth' and ' power than the republican
party, arid said that, while the admlnj'stra'
tlon , Is, straining every nerve to secure
compliance with the laws. It Is prophesied
that the champion of this reform, the man
who, not by words, but by deeds, as presi
dent of the I'nlted States, has shown hi
adherence to the principles of equal pro
tection and laws to all, and. his courage In
resisting all claims of special immunity,
whether for organized labor or capital. Is
to be rebuked and thwarted by the return
to . congress of a majority of the . opposi
tion.' Not while the American.. people ad
mire courage, consistency, high ideals and
practical common sense; not while they
believe In energy, honesty and American
ism; not while they take, a man for what
he Is and what he does, rather than for
what he says, will this prophesy be Jus
titled." . .
The secretary was warmly applauded
throughout his speech.
Mr. Taft left Greensboro tonight for the
north enroute to Put-in-Bay, Ohio, where
he delivers an address July 11 'before the

Interior Minister Stolypln has sent to
Ambassador Meyer and the representa

official report of the Blalystok rioting, for
transmission to their respective govern

on the part of the Russian government
docs not involve a recognition of the right
of foreign countries to make representa
tions regarding the internal affairs of the

power of public opinion abroad and Indi
cates the solicitude of foreign government
to know the Russian side of the case. The

8T. PETHRSBI RG, July lO.-The news of

they are now barricaded. I'p to 1:30 o'clock

The brewers of the L'nlttd States, as an
3ss(clatlon and Individually, have been
staunch supporters of the National Pure

half-hearted acqulesence, but a whole
souled, earnest, energetic effort to have
enacted a law that will glya the people

and furnishes him nourishment. Part
Beer Is shown by anaylsls to be absolutely
pure and 12 per ont food value' (the same
ss good nillk.)- This high percentage of
food vslue of Pabst beer Is due to the ex
clusive Pabst eight-day malt. Malt for
brewing Is usually made In four days, but
Pabst malt Is made In eight days, re
taining all of the rich nutrition, of t :lj
grain. Malt made by the usual four-day
process produces a thin, hard beer that
lacks the rich flavor and the high fonl
value of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
