Career of a Man Whose Name is on the Battle Ship. from the Baltimore Sun. ‘A great deal of interest has been aroused among persons who are not familiar with Chilean history by the rame of the Chilean battle ship O'Higgins, the finest fighting vessel now available for purchase by the United States, Spain or any other country Gesiring to thus increase {ts navy. It has been reported that both this country and Spain have been negotiating for the pur- chase of the ship, but Chile is not anxious to sell, as she expects trouble with Argen- tina. Bernardo O'Higgins, the Chilean hero, after whom the battle ship is named, led the Chilean forces during the years in which the country fought for and won in- dependence from Spain. He was president and dictator from 1816 until 1823. O'Higgins was the son of Ambrosio O'Higgins, Marquis de Osorno, a poor Irish- man, who went to South America to be- come a priest, but after a varied career finally rose to president of Chile under Spanish domination and also became vice- roy of Peru. The son organized a regiment as soon as the insurgents declared independence in Chile in 1810. His selection as head of the army was made by a junta opposed to Car- rera as dictator, but he demonstrated his bravery and military knowledge on many occasions. Once, being deserted by the main part of the army, he cut his way through Spanish lines, his 1,900 faithful fol= lowers being reduced to 200. By good gen- eralship on land and by encouragement of the naval operations of Encalada he achieved independence, but resigned as dic- tator in consequence of dissensions and re- tired to Peru, where he died in 1846, at the age of sixty-six years. —_-e-_____ Fuddy—“It’s sort o’ strange; but when a ran and wif> go out to a whist party it is seldom that they play as partners.” Duddy—“Married People, you know, are Rot supposed to in public.”—Bosten ‘Transcript. quarrel Brooklyn Bridge in Hard Luck. New York telegram to the Chicago Tribune. As a result of permitting the trolley com- Panies to run cars across the big Brook- lyn bridge the falling oft in the daily re- ceipts now amounts to $1,300, and the au- thorities have awakened to the fact that not only the outstanding bridge bonds, but even a portion of the running expenses the bridge, will Fave to be paid with ne: raised by direct taxation. There wil! be another decrease in the receipts when the elevated roads begin running cars across the bridge, and the completion of :he new bridge, now building, will only serve to di- vert trafic, thus increasing the deficiency.

WEED OF “MOH: TORPEDO BOATS Mr. Pearce's Amendment Adopted After Discussion. LESSON OF THE YALU pan eer Packed galleriés are the regular accom- paniment of the sessions of the House of Representatives in these exciting days, and today an hour:before the session convened every inch of available space was taken, and hundreds besieged the doors unable to gain admission. Mr. Bouteile, chairman.of the naval com- mittee, desired to go ahead with the naval appropriation bill, despite the fact that under the rules this was private bill day. He explained briefly the urgent necessity of getting the bill through at once. A very significant incident’oceurred while. an attempt was being made to effect an arrangement to postpone private bill day until Tuesday. The Speaker himself seemed to hesitate about asking the consent of the House, whereupon Mr. Bromwell (Ohio) asked if Tuesday was set apart for private bills whether it would interfere with a report from the forcign affairs committee. “It certainly would,” replied the Speaker promptly. “Then I object,” shouted Mr. Bromwell. Subsequently*he withdrew his objection with the understanding that Tuesday should be privgte'bill day, provided the for- «jen affairs committee had no report to make to the House. The naval bill was then taken up. Mr. King (Utah) made a point of order against the provision for new battle ships and torpedo beats. It was overruled by the chair. : Mr. Cannon, éhairman of the appropria- tion committee, offered a substitute for the peragraph in the bill providing* for three baitle ships, six torpedo boats and six tor- pedo boxt destroyers. The substitute pro- vided for one battle ship, to cost $3,000,000, exclusive of armament; twelve torpedo boat destroyers and twelve torpedo boats, to cost not exceeding $4,600,000. Mr. Cannon supported the amendment tn a brief speech, arguing that in case of ne- cessity the torpedo boats and the torpedo beat destroyers would be much more valu- able than the battle ships, because they would be quickly built. “How long does it require to build a battle ship?” asked Mr. Dockery. “Three years.” “How long to construct torpedo boats?” “Under stress, utilizing the shipyards of the country, from three to eight months.” Mr. Cannon appealed to members with cool heads and without passion to act wise men should act. ‘What objection,” asked Mr. Norton, “have you to leaving the three bestle ships in the bill and increasing the number of torpedo boats;,ta the number provided in this amendment?” (Tremendous applause in the galjerieg.) “Most gentlemen believe,” said Mr. Can- non, “that withui,a week we will be at war wiih one of the countries of the earth. That will mean; additional taxation, and authorizations to borrow $500,000,000. It mepns ‘that these burdens shall be put upon the people. Let us doubj¢-the. taxdtion, if necessary, but Jet us not authorize a single dollar that is not necessary to meet the emergency just in front of us. Long be- fore these battle ships can be launched the var will be over, and I fear these battle skips will be obsolete.” (Applause on the floor.) Mr. Boutelle, in a speech in reply, de- clared that the history of naval warfare showed that the great naval battles of the world nad been won by the ships of the battle line. Mr. Hilbourn (Cal.), a member of the naval committee, argued earnestly in favor of authorizing the permanent increase to the battle line provided in the bill. Value of the Battle Shi Mr. Cummings (N. Y.) declared that the value of the battle ship had been demon- strated at the battle of the Yalu, and that the subsequent action of Japan and China in ordering -battle ships, not to speak of the fact that Germany, France, Englund and Russia were building immense ships of the heavy fighting type, was conclusive of their value. Mr. Pearce (Mo.).offered an amendment to increase the number of torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers authorized by the bill to twelve cach and to increase the appropriation frem $2,300,000 to $4,600,000. He quoted a high-naval officer as stating that these torpedo craft were absolutely essential to the. protection of the battle ships of the nay. It was little short of crimina!, he contended, to subject our fleet to dangers from torpedo boats. Mr. Boutelle said the committee was per- fectly willing to accept the Pearce amend- ment, but he pointed out that under the emergency appropriation the administration was buying and building torpedo and other boats of the mosquito fleet for the protec- tion of our fighting ships. The Cebate drifted into a discussion of the respective merits of battle ships and torpedo craft. Mr. Dockery (Mo.) strongly opposed the Pearce amendment. He said that Congress in the present emergency should vote every dolar the department asked, but here was a proposition indorsed neither by the de- partment ‘nor the committee. It was im- portant, he said, that time-honored cus- toms be observed, and that members should rot in an outburst of enthusiasm vote away money that partook more of the nature of &n assault uppn the treasury than an as- sault upon Spain. ; The Pearce amendment was adopted— 137 to 67. os a VARIOUS BILLS PASSED.

For the fifth time since the arrests, the trial of McClerand, Turvey and Cochran, for promoting and writing policy, has been pcstponed. Ten days ago the trial was scheduled to come up this morning be- fore the court of ’Squire V. W. Sellers, and today the case was again continued until next Friday. The defendants were released on their personal recognizance to appear at the appointed time, and the sheriff waz instructed to subpoena all of the witnesses for that date. : At the last it the sickness of for the defense, John H. the attorney Of the delay. He has ing the affidavit, and new warrants have been sworn out by Sheriff Palmer, accord- ing to infermation and belief. He has no evidence at all, it is said, and when he entered the place of Cunningham at Ross- lyn, the supposed headquarters of the pol- icy concern, no evidence to convict was se- cured. ‘Squire Sellers, it is understood, has what he regards as sufficient evidence on rand to justify some action in the matter. Stephen Beach is regarded as a material ‘witness for the prosecution, but he did not respond to the calling of his name at the session of the court this morning. "Squire Sellers instructed the sheriff to summon all of the witnesses, and if any fail to saow up next Friday, steps will be taken to prosecute them for contempt. It was stated at tne court this morning that Beach was at Alexandria on business con- nected with th2 grand jury, but this wus doubted, and after the session of the court, it is said, the witness was seen in Rosslyn.
