“'ork in Navy Vessels.
Marl-zed progress in the work on all
vessels building for the 'navy is shown
in the report by Chief Constructor
Hichborn, who assigns the improved
conditions of affairs to the peremptory
instructions issued recently that work
on every ship must be pushed forward
with despatch. The list of new vessels

the only types now being constructed
for the service, and that the boats 01

report shows that the battleships Kear-

The three sister battleships Illlinois,
one year later, are only ten per cent.
behind the Kearsage and her twin, and
all three will be launched some time
this summer. The submarine boat
Plunger is behind two years, and will
not be in service for three months.
An Aggressive Politician.
Theodore Roosevelt has been a unique
figure of President McKinley’s adminis-
tration. He has kept himself before the
public eye more or less for full fifteen
years. He began his career in New
York City, and his record asfia reformer,
national and civ’c, is equaled by few of
his fellow citizens. The political inter-
ests of this country are his interests,
and he is always found ready to fight
for a just cause.
Til IZODORE ROOSEVELT.
Because of his aggresive attitude in
all the cartoonists found a
large field for their imagznative powers
during his administration as Police
Commissioner in New York. but with
bull—dog tenacity, of Which his square
chin is indicative, he went on his way,
never once phased by the,.ugly pictures
of,himself or the criticisms of the jour—
rials.

Judgment \Vas Entered ,
One of the cases disposed of recently
by the Supreme Court was that of the
New York Indians vs. the United States,
appealed from the Court of Claims. The
New York Indians brought suit against
the United States to recover $2,303,600
claimed to be due them by virtue of the
failure of the Government to carry out
terms of the treaty of Buffalo. promul-
gated in 1838. This treaty provided for
the removal of the Indians 'to a point
west of the Mississippi River, for which
the Government was to appropriate
$400,000. There was also to be paid to
the Indians $126,500, anda half section of.
land was to be allotted to each Indian.
On the other hand, the Indians were to
cede to the Government the lands they
held in VJisconsin. To carry out the
provisions of the treaty the Government

SPANISH SPY’S SUICIDE.
George Danvning; Hangs Himself in
the (large \thre He “(an Confined.
\Yashington, May 13.—George Down-
ing, the American arrested here as a
Spanish spy, hanged himself yesterday
at the 'Washington'Barracks. He had
not yet been tried.
Downing was arrested last week by
the Secret Service agents of the Treas-
ury, charged with having furnished in-
formation as to American fortifica-
tions, &c., to the late Spanish Minister,
now in Canada. He was turned over
to the War Department and was con—
fined at the barracks awaiting trial.
The Attorney-General had been
asked for an opinion as to the legal
points involved in the question of the
War Department's jurisdiction, but
had not yet decided the case.
Downing‘s body wa. discovered
shortly before noon suspended from
one of the steel bars which ran over
the top of his cage. He had made
a rope of a towel and part of his cloth-
ing, which he had torn into strips.
Downing was not quite dead when dis-
covered by the sentry, but all efforts
to revive him failed.
Downing is said to have communi-
cated information to Lieut. Caranza of
the Spanish Legation. He was found
by Secret Service detectives in Toronto
and traced to Carauza's room, where a
conversation was overheard between
them revealing a plot to obtain United
States military secrets. He was fol-
lowed to this city and a letter to Ca-
ranza was intercepted.
His arrest by a party of soldiers then
took place and several important pa-
pers were secured. He lost llS nerve

Later the Government paid $256,000 to'
the Tonawanda band of Senaca Indians
and secured a. release of their rights
under the treaty. Upon the basis of
this arrangement the remaining Indians
calculated the value of their rights un-
der the treaty at $2,393,600, and for this
brought suit. The Court of Claims dis-
missed the bill, and the Supreme Court
reversed that judgment and ordered
