Board of Construction Considering
Plans For Six SheathedCx-uisers.
, VVASI—IINGTON, March 31.—The board
of construction of the navy department
has begun the.1consideration of the pre-
liminary questions involved in the de-
termination of the character and plans
of the six sheathed cruisers provided
for in the n val appropriation act. By
the terms of that act no contract for
the hulls of either the three armored
battleships or armored cruisers author-
ized by it can be entered upon until
after the armor shall have been con—
tracted for. '
Until the result of the advertisement
for bids for furnishing the armor which,
was issued yesterday is known the
board therefore will give no considera-
tion to the heavier ships. The sheathed
cruisers are to be of about 2,500 tons
displacement, to carry the most power-
ful ordnance consistent. with their class,
to have the highest speed compatible
with good cruising qualities and great
radius of action. They are to cost, ex—
clusiveof armament, not exceeding $1,-
141,800 each.
The cruisers will be of the improved
Marblehead class, but will be of greater
coal carrying capacity to insure greater
radius of action. They will, however,
develop only about 16 knots speed as
against 18 knots of which the Marble-
head is capable.

THOSE COU NTRY CHECKS.

Novefi Plan, .
BOSTON. March 31.—-At a special
meeting of the Boston clearing house»
the report of the subcommittee on col—
lection of country checks was presented
and adopted. It is proposed to estab—
lish a subclearing house under the su-
pervision of the Clearing House associa-
tion. A letter which will be forwarded
to bank oflicials throughout New Eng'
land explaining the plan says;
“It has been considered expedient to
modify the plan heretofore suggested
for a system of clearing New England
checks and to have all the work done
through the Boston clearing house in—
stead of through the correspondent
banks in Boston. The committee there
fore begs to ask if on receiving from
the manager of the Boston clearing
house in one letter checks on your bank
received on deposit in Boston ban-ks

KANSAS CITY, March 31.-—Reports
from the southwest tell of a storm ex-
ceeding in severity that of Wednes-
day. which was a record breaker. Chil-
licothe reports the worst snowstorm, in
northern Missouri in many years, with
on the level and the storm still raging.
, Atchison, Kan, reports heavy snow
from there to Omaha, which is being
drifted by a strong wind. The Missouri
Pacific, expecting blockades, has equip-
ped engines at different points with
snow plows. The Missouri Pacific re-
ports from 6 to 12 inches of snow from
Atchison to Grafton and two feet at
Blue ~Rapids and Waterville, Kan. At
Leavenworth street car traffic has been
impeded.
Two Old PeopleBurned to Death.
NEW YORK, March 31.—Two old peo-
ple were burned to death in a small
house at Mine Rock, a small place'about
15 miles from Somerville, N. J., on Tues-
day. They were Benjamin Bush, an old
man of almost 100 years, and Catherine
Blue, his housekeeper; who was over 70
years old. They were recluses and oc-
cupied a small frame dwelling. ' It is
thought the high winds of Tuesday
blew down the flinisy structure, which
caught fire and cremated its two in-
mates. The bodies were found in the
smoldering embers Wednesday, and the
roof of the house was 75 feet away,
where it had evidently been blown by
the wind.
Will Try Thirteen Anarchists.
ANCONA, Italy, March 31.—The
chamber of indictments, which has
been investigating the cases of. the
' Italian anarchists who were ,arrested at
Alexandria, Egypt, on the charge of
plotting against Emperor William at
the time of his recent visit to the Holy
Land, finds that there was no conspir~
acy against the emperor, but that the
bombs found were scattered with a view
of creating a belief that a plot had been
arranged. The court, however, has
committed 13 alleged anarchists for
trial by the consular court at Alexan-
dria on a charge of belonging to an il-
legal association.
Senlers Fast In Ice.
ST. JOHN’S, N. F., March 31. ,— All
attempts to rescue the two seal hunters
who are adrift on the ice in Conception
bay are unavailing. They have been
beyond reach for 48 hours. The sealing
ssteamers Panther and Labrador are
both jammed in an ice floe off King’s
cove, in the district of Bonavista. Each
is carrying a full load of seals. The ice
floes have been driven against the whole

The Beef Infinity.
" WASHINGTON, March 31. ——- There
were two original witnesses before the
army beef inquiry court yesterday, and
two former witnesses were recalled.

sary of subsistence at .Lakelan'd, Fla.
and Major Creighton Webb, who was on
General Lawton’s staff in Cuba, testi-
ot’ the commissary department and Mr.
Morehouse, the Tampa agent for Ar-
mour & Co., who superintended the sup—
ply of fresh beef to the troops at Lake-
testimony dealt almost entirely with the
canned roast beef, which he denounced
tive of the Armours whom he took to be
nied.
Socialism In Russia.
VIENNA; March 31.——The Arbiter
Zeitung announces that it has obtained
from a Russian Socialist newspaper a
secret report made by the chief of the
Moscow police to the governor of Mos-
cow giving details as to the spread of
socialism'among the workmen there,
due to Socialist activity in labor dis-
putes. The police report, it appears,
proves that socialism is becoming a
real power in Russia and suggests as a
‘remedy that the workers shéuld be
4 placed under strict police and state su-
pervision.
