NEW YORK, March 8.—James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern, s to build at New London, Conn., the largest shipyard in the world. He proposes to build fowr big cargo steamers designed for him in England, to run between the terminus of the Great Northern Railway at Puget Sound and ports in China, Japan and the Philippine Islands. The ships will be the largest in the world with the ey- He made an attempt to see the but in vain. the Atlantic trade by the Hamburg-Ameri. can and White Star lines. They will be over 600 feet long, 70 feet broad and have five decks, capable of carrying 20,000 tons of cargo and 200 passengers. They will not be built for speed, although expected to average twelve knots per hour under ordinary pressure and fifteen to sixteen knots in_an emergency. The engines wi'l develop 800 horsepower. Mr. Hill expects to commence two of the ships this spring and have them completed within eighteen months, Two new Pacific Mail steamers now be- ing built at Newport News will compete directly with the Great Northern vesscls in the Asiatic trade. One will be com- pleted in December, 1900, and the other early next year. They are the largest steam vessels ever contracted for in the United States up to date. They will cost $2500,000 each. The length feet, beam 63 feet. depth 40 feet, tonnage 18.i% tons, speed 18 knots (which is faster than the Great Northern steamers), and there will be accommodations for 150 cabin and 1200 steerage passengers. The actual ca’go capacity will be about 12,000 tons. he Spreckels Sugar Company of San Francisco has contracted with the Cramps of Philadelphia to build two steamskips very nearly as large, of 10,500 tons and a speed of eighteen knots, which they will use on the Oceanic line between San Francisco, Honolulu and Australia. - WILL FIGHT GAMBLERS.

Sovereign Declares the Mil- itary Sought Not to Preserve Order but to Terrorize the People. Sl WASHINGTON, March 9.—The cross- examination of James R. Soverelgn was continued to-day in the Coeur d'Alene in- vestigation before the House Committee on Military Affairs. Representative Dick took the wifness over his statements re- egrd(nz martial law and the course of the War Department, with a view of showing that it was the State authorities and not the Federal Government that and enforced martial law. Mr. Sovereign sald that a reading of the official telegrams satisfied him that the War Department declared martial law, as the milltary telegrams antedated the Governor's “proclamation by one day. When asked if the military were there for any other purpose than to maintain peace and order, the witness answered that he belleved this was not their purpose, as their presence tended to terror ze the peo- ple, substituting military dictation for the usual civil methods. No one ever heard of martial law before in labor troubles, Mr. Sovereign declared. As to his approval of the use of the military in the (hicago strike, he sald that was limited to the use of the troops for maintaining order. Mr. Sovereign stated that he understood the Bunker Hill mine was owned by the Btandard Ofl Company, but this had been denied in testimony before the Industrial Commission, although the witness be- leved from telegrams developed in the case that this ownership existed. He was also questioned as to the influ- ence of certain lead interests in the Coeur d’Alene district. In that connection he sald a mine official had told him that sev- eral of the lead interests had sought to combine on a $30,000,000 capitalization, but 'hat‘éhe ll;'ew York cnrltausts would not consider the matter unless th, = tion was $17% 600,00 S raiatine epresentative Sulzer remarke: this ‘meant $148,000,000 of “walel’g‘ ‘:x;l\; Chairman Hull added that it was a valu- able basis for another investigation.

While no member was authorized to speak for Great Britain, the opinion was expressed that the Government of that country would agree to the proposed modification of the treaty. Adoption Recommended. The report submitted with the treaty is in the main a review of the general situation with reference to the canal with comparatively few recommendations. It says, however, “we are in full accord with | the purpose expressed in article 3 of the pendhng convention to adopt as the basis of neutralization the Indicated rules sub- as embodied in the treaty of Constantinople for the free navigation of the Suez maritime canal.” The_report then makes an analys! the Suez canal treaty, layin stress upon article 10, ‘which, the report says, ‘“prescribes limitations of the ut- most importance upon the stipulations.” The committee concludes its recommen- dations by quoting its proposed amend- ment, remarking as follows: “We are clearly of the opinlon that if article 10 did not exist the true interests and necessity of the United States require upon the highest considerations of pru- dence and rght adoption of the amendment proposed.” Question of Good Faith. The committee also concludes: stantially of ““The present abrogation of the Clayton- | Bulwer treaty would not in the least re- instate the rights of Honduras or Guate- mala, as we allege they were in 1850, Neither do these states ask our_ inter- vention in their affairs. But we have a more compulsory reason, one that in- volves our due respect for the history of our own country, for ceasing to bring into further discussion the questions of good faith on the part of Great Britain in the executlon of the stipulations and the pur- | poses of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.” This reason is found in the ratification of the treaties of 1860, referring to which the committee say: “Congress expressed mo dissent to them “or to the President's declara- tion ‘that the dangerous questions arising from the Clayton-Bulwer treaty have been amicably settled.” We cannot now assert to the contrary, and, for the purpose of abrogating that treaty, we can- not insist that those questions are not set- tled. “The conclusion is unavoidable that the Government of the United States acknowl- edged in 1860 that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was an obligatory convention, and that it had been fully and satisfactorily executed on the part of Great Britain as to all questions which up to that time had been controverted between the two gov- ernments.’” Referring to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty the committee says: It certainly avoided host! these two great T, ile collision between , whatever may have been its faults an entangling alliance or national humiliation to us or as the cause of protracted and heated diplomatic controversy. Since 1360 the Clayton-Bulwer treaty has been in some way recognized by the Government in each of the succeeding administrations as a substituting compact. Strong reasons for its abrogation have been frequently stated, and some have always denied its obligatory force but no movement to accomplish that result been made either by Congress or the executiy This treaty is therefore open and existing as a_binding and unexecuted compact, with the express approval of the United States as to the question of our control over the canal and our right to build and fortify it. It is executed, and therefore unrepealable as to all other ques. tions and matters covered by its provisions A question of its abrogation ralsed at this time would only relate to the parts of the treaty that remain to be executed. The_identical treaties of Great Britain and the United States with Nicaragua provide for the protection of the canal and the companies of construction by the Governments, with the use of military or civil instrumentalities, and they ltmit the prefits of the concessionary cam- pznies 0 1€ ver cent. In ci-'r respects the Governmental supec vision for_the protection of the concessionaires, whether British or American, s nearly su- preme, and would soon become absolute in the dealings of either of these powers with the pro- tection of their citizens or subjects holding con- cessions from Nicaragua. it has all the ti As matters stand ), since thesc identical treaties were concluded, been & race of diligence between American and British concessionaires as o0 who should gain eontrol special | | ment, while it is still desired by some, wouid | be a fatal mistake that would soon involve the | countries in war, or it would enlarge and solld- | ify the scheme of alliance that is embodicd in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty into a practical a. | | liance, offensive and defensive, in the controi | of navigation and the commerce of the worid. | | It i these latter treaties that present the real | grounl of our present difficulties, from whicn the convention of 1900 relieves us. Coming to the pending treaty the re- | port says: No other nation except the United States could have 8o great an interest in the exclusive | right to own and control an isthmian canal, but in this matter, come what may, we are compelled to the assert superfority of our right, now for the first time conceded by Great that Britain It is wise and just, therefore, | the value of this concession to us | estimated as a great consideratfon fo we may v it we, indeed, yleld in acquiring the exclusive right to control ti canal by a modification of the Clayton-Bulwer | treaty. | | _In the convention of February 5, 1900, Great Britain agrees that the restriction as to the | exclusive control of the canal imposed by the | | Clayton-Bulwer treaty shall continue to bind | her, while the United States is released from it, | Thig les us free to acquire from Costa Rica | and Nicaragua_the exclusive control of the canal for the Government or for our citizens | under the protection of the United States, whils | | it cuts off Great Britain from any such right. | Referring to the difficulties which have arisen over the treaty the report says: | “The only objections that have been | urged by the United States have not re- | lated to’the treaty as a binding compaet, but to the conduct of Great Britain in executing its terms and In refusing to abandon certain islands and coast posses- sions which she claimed were not held | after the date of the treaty in violation of its terms.” i Exclusive Control. | The committee calls attention to the fact that under existing conditions the control of the canal is not “exclusive,” and adds: | “This magic word has paralyzed the eager desire of the two great powers to control this canal for fifty years, and now its disappearance leaves us free to con- | struct ard control the canal, excluding an‘y rlihl of Great Britain to interfere.” Teuching upon the strategic importance of the canal the report says: e against the blockade of the canal by any nation. In conditions that may not be entirely re- mote we would find this provision, in letting our shipe through the canal free from capture by our enemy, of great security to our coast- wise trade. With our naval bases at Manila, Honolulu, San Francisco and San Diego on one side, and | at San Juan, Porto Rico, the Isle of Pines and | Key West, with other fortified naval stations, | on the other side, it is extremely improbable | that a fleet would cross either of the great oceans and approach the canal to find & gate- Wway to the coasts of the other ocean. 1f we are not able to handle an enemy un- der such disadvantages to them our power of resistance to such a campaign would be un- worthy of our country, if it would not be lu- dierous. Easy to Defend. A's to the prohibition of the fortifications the report says: With the military police by the United States, provided for In thig convention for the ec- | tion of the canal, its defense can be made per- | fect against any forelgn power that fs not | strong enough to occupy the country and hold it_against all comers. In any event, If war is to come that will in- volve the ownership or control of the canal, or the right of passage through It, no battle should be fought in the region near to it. To | make the canal a battleground Ia necessarily to | gxpore it to destruction, and the erection of fortresses for its protection will invite hostilf- | ties to ita locality. . ut the real danger to the canal, from the absence of fortifications, I8 so siight and im- probable that its discussion appears to be un- | necessary. It is scarcely conceivable that Great | Britain will send a fleet across the Atlantic o attack our western coasts, or across the Pacjfic to attack our eastern coasts. * ¢ ¢ In the event of such wars the neutrality of the , secured by the consensus of all na. tions, would operate to our advantage by bring ing our ships of war safely from ocean to ccean into quick access to our harbor defenses. But the canal is not dedicated to war, but to peace; and whatever shall better secure just and honorable peace is a triumph, Senator Morgan later in the day filed a minority report opposing the amendment “Alrhe commmole % ter announci s concurrence in the main report reterffnl to the history of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, Senator lorgan rooseded to thie, t:nl{genuogl of that reaty as affect y the pending agree- ment.

Among the victims is Herman Levy, day clerk at the Hawaiian Hotel. In this case, as in others where white per- sons are concerned, there is no clew as to how the disease was contracted. The case of Levy is of a pneumonic type frequently encountered of late. Mr. Levy is a son of Rabbl Levy of San Francisco, and has been here about three years.
