CURIOUS THRONG LOOKS FOR DUKE the ships building by contract for United States navy. On the contrary every ves sel has fallen farther behind notwith standing the fact that labor conditions have improved and that there has been but little mercantile work to prevent for warding navy contracts. The appended table, taken from the chief constructor's report of 1901-02-03, shows a retrogression of work on ell the ships, not alone in the trust yards, but in all the establishments "ranging from one month In the case of the Tacoma to over eight months with the Nebraska. It is evident that the contrac tors' estimates as to time were too low to start with and that strikes and non delivery of material caused the delays up to a year ago. but that all the yards should have fallen still farther behind during the past year is somewhat mysti fying. The Illinois. Maine and Cleveland were delivered at the dates indicated, but the completion of all the other ships, as estimated by the Bureau of Construction, is likely to fall considerably short in many Instances and there are strong indi cations that the Government may have to take several battleships and armored cruisers out of the hands of the contrac tors, as It did with the Galveston and Chattanooga. rl ship Hannibal October 1*0 off Fer rol. Spain. The accident occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning, the night being ex tremely dark. None of the vessels carried lights and when the Hannibal suddenly loomed up on the port side of the Prince "George nothing could be dene to avert the collision. The ram of the Hannibal struck and smashed the hull of the Prince George fifteen feet below the water line. Collision mats were at once placed over « damaged side and weights were shlft ?o starboard, balancing to some ex • weight of water which fille I the tment.

The Hamburg class is of 3000 tons displacement, 6000 horsepower and a calculated speed of twenty-two knots, carrying an armament of ten 4.1 inch guns and with a coal capacity of 800 tons. The Denver Is of 3500 tons, 4700 horsepower r.nd intended to have a epced of 16.5 knots. The armament consists of ten 5-inch guns and the coal capacity Is 700 ton*. The advantage of superior bat tery in the American nhips is more than offset by the increase of five and a half knots speed in the German ships which also carry 100 tons of coal more than ours. It was confidently expected at the time the Denver class was designed that the ships would develop a speed of sev enteen and a half knots, but neither the Cleveland, Des Moines nor Denver recent ly tried came up to the contract speed owJng probably to the lack of stimulus in the form of premiums. The Hamburg was laid down April 1. 1902, launched July 26 last and will bo ready for commission In February next, making her time of construction twenty-two months. The Cleveland— the only one as yet accepted— was begun June 1, 1500. launched Septem ber 28. 1901, and turned over to the navy October 30, J903. giving a total of forty months to build.

His body has been lying in state since the death at the Wilcox residence in Honolulu sur rounded nighty and* day by a guard of honor waving kalihis over the casket, according to the old Hawaiian custom. HONOLULU, Nov. 8.— The funeral of Robert W. Wilcox, formerly Congression al Delegate from Hawaii, who died un expectedly of consumption on- October 24, took place to-day ancl ; was attended by a great popular demonstration of sympathy. Prior to ¦ the interment a service was held In the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the deceased having been a member of that church. Bishop Ropert officiated, and the edifice was filled with Hawaiians. On the conclusion of the ceremony the casket was placed on a hearse, which was drawn through \ the streets by 200 natives to the' cemetery. A great mul titude gathered around the grave.

WILL WAGE WAR ON THE "MASHER" Major Pitcher says it ia of the greatest Importance that the boundary lines of the park, in addition to being surveyed should be so thoroughly marked as to render it impossible for any one to cross the line without knowing that he has entered the reservation. The bear seem-to be about as numerous as a year ago. They have done no harm to any one during the past season. The deer seem to be increasing more rapld|y._than any other game in the park, at least they arc becoming tamer and more fearless than any other . species. The new buffalo herd, which is under the immediate charge of C. J. Jones, is do- Ing exceedingly well, but the Increase in the herd this year was not as great as was ho^ed for. The mountain sheep have increased con siderably in number in the past yaar ana there are now mpre than ICO In the park. "Many of them are tired of waiting," says Captain Young. "These big trees grow close to the country road. The owners have cut them by the wholesale and put the lumber upon the market and where once was a fln«. forest of magnifi cent giants there is now but devastation and ruin in the shape of stumps and sawdust piles on either side of the high road. It is but just to the owners and for the best interest of the Government that the purchase; of these patented lands within the park -be authorized by Congress if the parks are to be contin ued." 'He says the lands can be secured for reasonable prices. Captain Young says game is increasing. Major John Pitcher's report en Yellow stone Park is devoted largely to the con dition of the game in that preserve. He recommends that provisions be made for feeding game in the park in the winter. The danger of loss by starvation, he says, is increasing yearly, owing to the fact that the country around the park is settling up. thus limiting the range. He thinks It would not be a difficult matter to feed the antelope and sheep, as their winter range Is close to Fort Yellow stone. He places the number of ante lope in the park at about 10OO. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.— In his annual report Captain Charles Young, acting su perintendent of Sequoia and General Grant national parks, California, in which many giant trees' are lo cated, urges the acquisition by the Government of the land in those parks now owned by private Indi viduals. In Sequoia Park there are many large tracts thus owned and after.wait ing in vain for years for the Government fo purchase- their property the owners are beginning to sell off the large tim ber.
