ji MOSSTER BATTLESHIP.
Kins Edward Launches Britain's
Greatest Fighting Machine.
jcj*r!*l by French OaM« to The N>* Tnrk Tribune]
<Cppyri**t. IW>\ by- The Trlbuna Association.)
I/mdon, Feb. — Without ceremonial func
tion the King has witnessed to-day the su
preme naval event of his reign. The launch
of the battleship Dreadnought at Ports
jnouth li another triumph of sea power
trhich fills Bis Enplanders with exultation.
The Admiralty has been reticent about this
*3onnou9 battleship, larger than either the
Itlcbipi" or the North Carolina, and carrying
ten |2-inch puns but enough is known to Jus
tify the conclusion that all other vessels -I that
cla*s ■■''■ be obsolete if her speed be twenty
m knots and s-he can carry so powerful a bat
tery, with «>irhtee.i quick-firers added. The
ibip is ■ most daring experiment, for turbine
engines will be used before their success has
been demonstrated in the two Cunarders now
cn <ser construction. Batteries of th« highest
power n-irt armor of unusual thickness are pos
fftle when ...is I , i : nii space are saved by in
trodurlng irbine mechanism. A well known
engineer tells me that while turbines may be
pood for the average sea speed for which they
ere d^sipn^d, subsidiary engine* of reciprocat
lr.p pattern will also be required for regulating;
the navigation of the ship at slower speed. The
A<lnv.ralty and the Cunard lines have taken be
tvf-t-n thorn the greatest risks ever known in
irarine engineering. All the maritime nations
w-iil follow them if the success of the new ships
t*» complete. Jno>e4. Germany already responds
to the British ,-hallensre by planning battleships

( O\( KKTS TO-DA Y.
Mr. Conricd Must Show Cause Tn
■tomra?, 1 1 nicer cr.
There will be no police Interference with any
of the so-called "Sunday concerts" to-day, hut
on Monday Heinrlch Coiiried will be summoned
to court to show cause why he should not be
restrained from klvliir concerts on the Sabbath
at the Metropolitan Opera House. This decision
whs reached at a meeting of the managers' as
so< latlon yesterday, and by agreement with
Commissioner Blngham. The opera house con
certs are to be madf a test case because the
managers and the Commissioner alike feel that
they ire desired by the public and are unobjec
tionable to anybody.
If they are found to be illegal, steps will at
once be taken through the Board of Aider
to amend the statute. At any rate, a ruling on
these concerts is necessary, Mr Ringham feels,
before he can go ahead. It was Oscar Ham
merst«'in who first pointed out to him that if he
closed the Victoria on Sunday some people
might read the law to mean that he ought to
close the Metropolitan Opera House, too.
Charles Burnham. president of the managers'
association, yesterday obtained from all man
agers of houses where "Sunday concerts" are
given a promise that to-day they will permit no
juggling, no acts in costume, no "black face"
acts. Even at Mr. Conried's Irving Place The
atre, it Is said, there will be no costumes worn.
This is to result, it is hoped, In a series of Sun
day entertainments that will he a middle ground
between Sabbath breaking and nothing at all.
Mr. Btngham himself says he is not desirous of
forcing a "Puritan Sabbath" on people, and
wants to get a law and a practice that will meet
all parties.

ASKS DIVORCE FROM N. Y. PHYSICIAN.
Wife Says He Rented House and Forced Her
to Move from City.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.]
Wlnstcd. frtnp., Feb. 10.— The divorce suit of Mrs.
Abbie M. \\"i{?*n:i. of Litchneld. Conn., and Xew-
York City, against her husband. Dr. Frederick
Wiggin, a New-York physician, on the ground of
desertion, was tried in tho Superior Court here yes
terday afternoon. Ji:dge Edwin B. Qa«*er reserved
his decision.
Last year Dr. Wiggin sued his wit* for a divorce
on the same grounds, but Judge. John M. Thayer.
of the Superior Court, refused to grant it. Evi
dence adduced resterday showed that the trouble
between the Wiggins dated back to tne fall of : v '.t2.
when, the plaintiff testified, her husband began
talking about setting a divorce.
"When l returned home, one day in May, 1596,"
Bald Mrs. Wiggin. "I found ft 'For Rent' placard on
the house, and discovered that my husband had put
the house in the hands of an agent and that it was
already rented. My husband compelled me to make
a choice between his going West for a divorce and
my living in Litchik-ld, where we had a Rummer
residence. He had a life interest in the place and
made a trust conveyance of it to me.
"He has contribute I $75 •■> my support since 189»>,
besides sending boxes of groceries and paying th«
expenses last year of my daughter at college and
my son at school." the witness added. Counsel for
Mrs. Wiggin read a portion of a letter which the
doctor wrote to his wife, stating that he would
return to her under certain conditions.

BOBBERS KILL Off TRAIN
FLEEING, SHOOT ITALIAN.
Long Chase — Captured by Posse —
Djptanuted Safe at Dover, N. 11.
Exeter. N. H.. Feb. 10.— Two men, one ur
known, after robbing: Luddy & Currier's shoa
factory at Dover early to-day, shot and killel
an Italian.
The factory Is in the outskirts of the towr.
Consequently. though the explosion that
wrecked the safe was heard for several Works,
it was pome time before the police located iti
origin. They found the windows of the bulldlnj
smashed, the furniture broken and the safi
rifled. Fortunately there had been little (t
value In it. There was no clew to the perpe
trators.
As the officers were returning to the attaiai,
however, they saw two men on a branch trruk
of the Boston and Maine Railroad, which runs
near the factory. The patrolmen made a dash
for the stranger*, J.ut the 1.-ttter eluded them
and^ boarded the St. John and Boston express
Just leaving: the Dover station.
Orders were telegraphed to Rockinsham
Junction to stop the men. ;md a local posse of
Herht officers st;irt«d down the line at once.
Howard A. Reeves, the conductor of the train,
got the telegram ;i t the Junction and tried to
arrest the men. The conductor said when the
operator read the dispatch describing the men
ho recognized them at once. The men evidently
bad overheard the message, for as he entered
the car both sprang to their feet, each drawing
a revolver. One of them shouted: "Hold up
your hands, everybody; the first man that moves
we will put a bullet through him." None of the
trainmen were armed. About twelve passengers
wen- in the car. The two men made a rush for
the forward end of the car.
As they did so the Italian, evidently not
understanding English. Jumped from his seat.
As he did so five shots were fired. He dropped
dead almost immediately.
In the confusion which followed the shooting
the two suspected men Jumped from the car and
disappeared in the woods. When the train
reached here word was sent to the police of this
town and the cities of Dover and Portsmouth,
about fifteen miles away, and posses started
from each place to search the country.
The robbers were traced over the Stratham
hill into Northampton, where they separated, as
did the posse which was following. One of the
men BOOS afterward was overtaken, and he sur
rendered. Although he was armed he offered
no resistance when his surrender was demanded.
Dover officers in the party recognized the man
as Joseph Going, of that city. He declined to
discuss either the robbery or the shooting.
Stratham Hill, which the men climbed. Is one
thousand feet high, and they became exhausted
before reaching th» summit. The one captured,
who, it is alleged, is the one who fired the shots
in the train, was almost exhausted when his
pursuers came up -with him. At me point the
posse found two overcoats which the fugitives
had discarded in their haste, and in the po<'k<'»s
were several burglars' tools.
The second man was i-haßed around the coun
try and was captured about 4 o'clock on the
outskirts of Northampton, and brought to this
city. There was an exchange of shots between
the man and the posse, but no one was injured.
The dead lUaltan was about forty years of
ape . iff was travelling from Calais. ii r c.. <>
Boston. Medical Referee A. J. Lance, of Ports
mouth, who held an autopsy on the body, found
In the clothing a receipt for a check for $100
which had been sent to Italy by Giuseppft
Giampa, and it is believed that this was the
dead Italian's name. There was. nothing to
show where he lived.

ORE LAND DEAL READY.
HILL'S TLJNS MATURE.
U. S. Steel Preparing to Take Cher
Great Northern Property.
James J. Hill's plan* for the Great Northern
ore lands are gradually reaching maturity, and
an announcement concerning them may be ex
pected at almost any time. Negotiations with
the United States Steel Corporation for the
lease of the property have been advancing for
some time, nnd they have now reached such a
stage, that the preliminary steps have been
taken for the formation of the holding com
pany to take over the Innds and conduct the
business with the steel corporation.
There has been incorporated in Maine the
Oreat Northern Development Company, with
an authorized capital stock of $100,000. When
the proper time comes this stock will be heavily
increased, probably to $100,000,000, and in well
informed quarters It is said that In all proba
bility the final capitalization will be in excess
of ?120,(hh>,(mm(. it is understood that Ihe stock
will be offered to the shareholders of the Great
Northern either at par or 200 per cent, in either
case giving them valuable rights. It la under
stood thnt the negotiations with th*> T'nlfd
States Steel Corporation are now almost com
pleted. It was this that brought Mr. Hill hack
so hurriedly from his trip South, where he had
planned to stay for at least a month with his
family in Aiken.
The ore lards of the Great Northern have
been the subject of rumors In Wall Street
for a long time, and much of the advance of th*
Stock has been due to the expectation of rights
to the stockholders in connection with th«»ni.
The stock of (he company touched Friday a
high point of :{4S. due in a ereat measure to the
report that the deal with the steel corporation
had finally been <-oncliided. The property com
prises more than six hundred thousand acres,
and Mr. Hill has held It tvick for many years
as ona of the most valuable assets of his com-
P&ny. It is only recently that he has expressed
a willingness to sell it. One of his favorite e - X
pifsalons has been that the ore was under
ground, where insurance cost nothing, and It
grew more valuable every year. But the anxiety
of the steel corporation to make Its supply of
ere for the future sure has at last brought the
Great Northern property into the market, and
Mr. Hill himself has been led to say that It was
for sale at the proper Drice.
Thei>* have been min>s on the property in
operation for some time. Two of them aro now
under louse, atid it is understool that the steel
corporation is getting the ore from them. It was
tris opportunity to tost (he value of the ore
that led thi steel official* to be so anxious to
get <-'«ntrol of the entire body. In addition to
this, however, it is understood that for several
years the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has
drawn large amounts of oro from the (ire it
Northern deposits, and it is probable that in the
new disposition of the property that company
will share, as it would not want to lose such a
valuabh; adjunct. There have been rumors for
some time in the financial district of a deal be
tween the steel corporation and the Colombo
Fuel and Iron Company, in many cases taking
the, form that the bigger company would ab
sorb the Western concern, but it is probable that
they will get no closer together than an agree
ment on the division of the Hill ore,

"IRON ORE DOOMED IN 100 YEARS."
Wisconsin Sees Removal of Steel Plants from
Pittsburg to Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 10.— The world*! present iron
ore sources will probably be exhausted in one
hundred years, according to Dr. C. Kenneth
l,elth. professor of geology In the University of
Wisconsin, who lectured last night before the
Geographical Society. According to Professor
I.pith. the present known deposits of high grade
ere in the United States will be exhausted in a
comparatively short period, and then the low
grade deposits will be drawn on. with the result
of changing the location of the great steel and
iron plants of the country.
"It is probable that the entry of the low grade
Iron ores into th* iron industry will have the ef
fect of bringing the furnaces nearer the base
of supply." said Dr. l,eith. "and this means the
removal or' the Iron Centre* from Pittsburg and
other Eastern points to Chicago and points
further West. There are deposits of low grade
ere in Colorado and Wyoming, but it will be
many years before they will become factors of
commercial Importance."

be admitted except within restricted hours.
It has been reported that In nome of the
rooms wine and liquor have flowed freely. It
is said that there have been In certain rooms
several all night games of poker In which the
limit has been rather high.
Some time ago two students were expelled
from the dormitories for a violation of the
rules. Since then a rule has been adopted for
bidding any person entering the dormitories un
kss he is accompanied by a resident, or has a
resident's permission stated to an attendant.
The university has set the attendants to work
finding out whether or not the rules are violated.
It has been reported that poker games or mid
night suppers have been interrupted by a ser
vant suddenly appearing at the door. The key
holes and transoms of the doors, it is said, have
been used to find out what Is happening inside.
Students in the dormitories resent this, but
cannot prevent it. The university has also es
tablished a guard on the outside of the building
who marches up and down day and night to
prevent undesirable characters and merchandise
from entering.

Says Annex Southern Republics or
Drop Monroe Doctrine.
Olivier Tatgny, the Charge d'Affaires of France,
who was expelled from Venezuela by President
Castro, sailed yesterday for France on the Car
mania. He had been in Washington holding a
conference with the French Ambassador on af
fairs in Venezuela.
When seen at the Holland House shortly be
fore his departure he said, in reference to the
Venezuelan difficulty, that it would be the best
thing for all concerned if the United States
would either annex the South American repub
lics or abolish the Monroe Doctrine. He said:
As things are, every on« of the South American
republics, especially Venezuela, is an ever present
hornet's nest to the peace of the world. Their
rulers are as unscrupulous as they are audacious
and arrogant In their dealings with European coun
tries, because they imagine that your Monroe Doc
trine protects them from foreign invasion and chas
tisement. France has, I need hardly say, no desire
to get into any trouble with the United States over
Venezuela if she can possibly avoid such a danger
by tact and diplomacy, but the. actions of President
Castro have become intolerable, and it now only
awaits my return to France, where I ahall lay the
Venezuelan problem fully before the Foreign Office,
before my government will take final action re
garding Mr. Castro.

WALDO'S COUSIN ROBBED'
Story of Men Who Say They Were
Help Up in 41st-Bt.
Two men rushed into the Tenderloin police sta
tion last night with a harrowing tale about being
heM rp at 41st-st. and 7th-ave.. and robbed of $20.
Both were talkative and excited. The incident
would have caused little Interest in th.it section
but for the fact that one of them said he was a
first cousin of Deputy Police Commissioner Waldo.
Sergeant McGowan at once got into a meditative
mood, for he recalled the incident of the '"fake"
Waldo and trembled. The men said they were Jack
M. Oallatln, of No. 119 East 3Sth-st.. and Dwight
Harris, of Greenwich, Conn. Gallatin did all the
talking. He said he. was a Wall Street Troker. So
was his friend, whom he was showing about town.
He said he had called up the Union litwgiw Club
in hope of finding the Deputy Commissioner there,
but he was not about. He got him later at the
Army and Navy Club, he said, and added that the
Deputy Commissioner was "awfully mad* about
the affair and made dire threats. Gallatin said he
had i<een at a theatre, then dined at a Broadway
hostelry and strolled down 41st-st. as far as "th
ave. There two men asked them for a drink. They
refused and one of the men planted a revolver in
Gallatin's face, whOa the other . robbed both of
them. gutln,? $."11. They did not explain why the
robbers did not take their watches.

George W. Perkins, there la reason to believ*

$59,000 paid in notes out of the profits of tho
New- York Security and Trust Company deal, a*
detailed In the Fowler committee's report. Th«
company. It Is Bald. Is of opinion that Mr Per
kins can and will be successfully 3uerl civilly for
the. return of this money.
Mr. Perkins. It Is said, will restore It volun
tarily, possibly paying It Into the treasury
"pending decision." Well known Insurance law
yers, moreover.' said yesterday that Andrew
Hamilton can and will be extradited should ha
persist In remaining in Paris, as told already
In The Tribune. They added that in their opin
ion ex-President McCall could and wo.»: h«
successfully sued civilly, but not extradited.
The Fowler committee is preparing a report on
the topic of campaign contributions. This may
be submitted to the trustees at their meetm*
on Wednesday.
Charles A. Peabody. president of the Mutual
Life, said yesterday that his only knowlMg* of
any dissension In the Truesdale committee, cam*
from the newspapers.
"Will the committee make a drastic and com*
plete examination?" was asked.
"I assume It will." (.aid Mr. Peabody. "It ha«
full powers, and there is no reason for Its fallla*
to exercise them. Up to the present time It has
handed four reports to the board of trustees.
"Contrary to certain rumors I have se«n pub
lished, the trustees adopted and put Into effaot
every recommendation except one. This on*
related to bringing suit* to collect alleged claims
of the company against Individuals. As th»
trustees were In doubt about the validity of'
these claims the legal question was submitted
to Joseph H. Choate. He has not yet made his
report, but when it Is received It will be acted
upon as the action of the board of trustees."*
The Attorney General, It Is understood, has)
made no plan to go over District Attorney
Jerome's head, and seek an Indictment against.
Mr. Hamilton. The published report to that
effect was unwarranted. The relations between
Mr. Mayer and Mr. Jerome have been co-opera
tive and friendly In Insurance affairs as In other
things. Mr. Jerome, It Is said, has now received
a copy of the report of the Fowler committee
and will examine it carefully.
Th* grounds on which Mr. Hamilton's return
to this country may be demanded are alleged
personal appropriation of money delivered to
him for legal expenditures of which no satis
factory accounting has been made. In this con
nection it will be recalled that the Fowler Ham
ilton report says:
No other conclusion would seem to be permis- !
sible than that Hamilton used for his own pur
poses $75,000 of the proceeds of the check of
June d. 1004. delivered to him for the purpose
of paying the State tax. and your committee la
advised that both Mr. McCall and Hamilton are*
under the circumstances legally liable for this
sum.

piece of chewing gum away whenever a penny |
fell into certain pockets, and when the cotn '
rolled Into other places varying amounts of,
candy were the premiums. It belonged to a
Providence concern and ' was removed later In
the day.
Father Tierney called this evening at the store
and paid for the glass. He said that the glass
was thinner than he thought it was and that he
had no wish to injure the owners, the. desired
end having been accomplished. The Incident
created considerable feeling among the friends
of Mr. Greenfield, who is to be married to
morrow.
