Terms, $3 & 80ld by ali newsdealers, NN ) 361erosar, Now York ¥ 8t. Washington, D, ‘Branch Ofoe, _ ward at the time, less than sixty days. It is conceded that Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans will command the fleet In this great movement. He al- ready has had an extended period of sea service in command rank and it {8 known by his friends that he would Itke to wind up his active career by wately conducting around the Amer- foan continent the greatest flaet of warships ever gotten together. Admiral Evans will, it is expected, start out with sixteen battleships, be- sides twenty colliers, which will move more or less independently and, in- deed, will precede him considerably. Thk® armored cruisers Washington and Tennessee, which are now in French waters, are under orders to return to the United States and after refitting to proceed to the Pacific coast to form a part of an armored cruiser squadron to be assembled there. It is possible that they will be detained and 5 Accompany the Battleships. ‘When Admiral Evans arrives off the Pacific coast his fleet will be In- creased by the addition of the battle- ship Nebraska, newly commissioned and simply awaiting the rounding out of her skeleton crew. The battleships ‘Wisconsin and Oregon, now &t Bremer- ton navyyard, Puget sound, will-prob- ably have completed their extensive repairs by next March so that they too may be added to the fleet, which will then comprise nineteen battleships, besides the armored and protected cruisers of the Pacific fleet. It is believed now that the sailing route of the ships will be about as follows: Leaving New York or Hamp- ton Roads in the early fall the battle- ships would probably steam straight to Culahra._where onal wonld ha taken on. The next stop will be Rio de Janeiro and from that point the ves- sels would not halt until they reached Sandy Point, in the straits of Magel- lan. Here again the coal supply would .be replenished for the run to Callao, Peru, The next stage would be from Callao to Panama and from that point the ships would proceed ‘without a stop to 8an Francisco. After reaching Peruvian waters the move- ments of the vessels will be more de- liberate: Although the reason for this statement is not officially ‘obtain- able it is apparent that the explana- tion is to be found in the fact that the battleships will be within easy reach of San Francisco, in other words they could in an emergency arrive at that port before any other fleet could. . JAPS DISCREDIT STORY. 8ay America Has Ne Base In Pacifio for Big Fleet. Toklo, July J~—The report from Washington attributing the proposed sending of sixteen battleships to the Paolfic coast to Admiral Dewey’s pri- vate plan is generally disbelieved here by those whose knowledge and experience entitles their opinion to some attention. The United States is not known to_possess naval bases in the Pacific adequate for such purpose and the impression prevails that the sending of so large a squadron where sufficlent rendezvous does not exist would simply mean that the vessels would be an easy prey te torpedo boats and destroyers. Should sixteen battleships be 8o employed as to dis- prove this impression a record break- ing naval feat will have to be accom- plished. : NATIVES DRILLED TO FIGHT Disaffection "JUDGE BWAYNE. the hospital, where an operation was performed on him last Tuesday.

DEFENSE NEARING THE END Witnesses Continue to Co;ltra- dict Orchard’s Story. Bolge. 1da.. July —The defen=a_fn the case of Willlam D. Haywood is nearing the end of its case. Six wit- nesges during the day closed up the loose ends in the net of contradiction in which it is hoped that Harry Or- chard may be entangled. Written evidence was introduced to show that a conspiracy existed between the Mine Owners’ association, the Citi- zens’ alliance, the governor and militia of Colorado and the Pinkerton detec- tive agency, all seeking to destroy the Western Federation of Miners. The mysterious registered letter sent from Denver to San Francisco and which Orchard swore contained five $20 bills sent to him by George Pettibone, signing himself as “J. ‘Wolff,” was explained by Jacob Wolft, who said he formerly worked for Pet- tibone. Wolff said he sent Orchard a Masonic charm and a union oard in & registered letter. Marion W. Moore of McCabe, Ariz., a member of the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners, told of the circumstances under which he agreed to take a letter to Alaska for Harry Orchard and mall it from Nome to the second Mrs. Orchard in Colorado. Moore’s story put the affair in a much alfferent light than when Orchard first related the incident on the stand. Mrs. Mike Fallon, formerly Mrs. Harry Waters, wife of “Kid” ‘Waters, a Mine assoclation “gunman,” told of Orchard being at her home in company with her husband. Owen Barnes, implicated by Orchard In the manufacture of certain bombs, emphatically denied the charge. He declared he was attending the Demo- cratic national convention at 8t. Louis on the day of the Independence depot explosion. FORMER RECORDS BROKEN Securities Created in Past Six Months Over $1,278,000,000. New York, July .—The amount of new securities created in the United States for the first half of 1907 has never been paralleled. The grand to- tal authorized 1s $1,278,728,600. Al- ready $799,442,100 , has béen fssued since Jan. 1, leaving $479,286,400 of this year’s output to be sold in addl- tlon to a large carryover from the previous year. The railroads have applied in six months for $979,446,600, exclusive of $262,000,000 announced by thie Hill and St. Paul roads last De- cember. Industrial needs have been less pressing, yet not so light, as the total of $299,281,900 would indicate, The most prominent feature of 1907 financing to date has been the un- precedentedly heavy offerings of short notes, paying very generous returns to investors—from 5 to 8 per cent and, In exceptional cases, even more.
