Non-union labor appears to be more plentiful, and the men who are seeking employment ns teamsters are mostly young farm ers. They have been recruited within the past few days and are men who hav had life-long experience at this kind of wprk. A detachment of eighty arrived from Bakerstleld nnd vicinity this morning. Of thl number sixty-two determined to go to work. The other' lghteen after 'ooklng over ths situation decided on the opposite course.

George llenner. secretary of the Draymen's association, said' this morning that he was perfectly satisfied with th-? situation. Theie were fifty more teams at work than yesterday, he said, nnd freight was moving In perfectly satisfactory manner. Hoth side to the controversy still appear confident of winning an ultimate victory President Greensfeld.r of the Municipal league, has determined upon another plan by which he hopes to bring th strikers and employers Into a conference that may lead to a peaceful sott'ement of the controversy.

Philadelphia. July 27 Tho mammoth United States battleship Maine, he latest addition nnd probably the most powerful of the fleet of flag-defend, rs, was launched from Cramp's shlnvard todav. under auspicious clr- i umstnnces. When the army of workers knocked tho last shorts from the cradle of the vessel Miss Mary Preble Anden-on of Portland grasped the bottle of American champagne, wrapped In the stars nnd stripes, and, crashing It upon the big ship's bow, exclaimed In a loud nnd firm voice. "I christen the Mulne." It was a fete day at Kensington, as nil suc'i occasions nre.

and when the gates ff the big shipyard wer? thrown open to 'tho public an Immense crowd surged In to witness the baptism of the latest addition to the nation's Meet. On the christening; stand was distinguished party, the conspicuous figures of which were Governor Hill and staff of Maine and representatives of 'the navy. The shipbuilding company nnd ithe municipal government weie also represented, by promlnnt parties. Grouped about the wharves and dotting the Delaware river for miles around were ciaft of every description, from local excursion boats to foreign stenmshlps. When the marine monster glided gracefully down the greased ways the enthusiasm of the crowd' found vent.

The crowds In the yard roared and screamed, and the boats on the river loose their ear-splitting whistles. Meanwhile the Maine had taken her maiden dip In 'the middle of the gtieam, where the were dropped, nnd she came to a halt. It was one of the prettiest lnunchlngs ever made at( the shipyard, the cradle of the new navy. The- warship launched today was begun a little over two years ago, the el-plate having been laid on the first nnnlversary of the blowing up of the old battleship The event was attended with cheers find The party In attendance was a small one, comprising officials of the UnUtd States navy and the shipbuilding firm. The new war vessel Is far superior to the one destroyed In the haibor of Havana.

The" other Maine was second-cjass battleship, built at the New York navy yard. The new one is a first-class battleship of tons displacement, with a speed of eighteen knots. Her main battery will consist of four 12-Inch guns, and her secondary battery will be twelve flinch guni. The- original Maine hod only C.6S2 tons displacement, a main battery of four 10-lnch guns and a secondary battery of six G-tnoh guns. The new Maine Is fifty feet longer than the old.

her engines will have an Indicated 'horsepower of 10,000 as ngalnst 9.203 of 'the old ship. Her armor Is 12-Inch "Krupplzed," as against the 12-Inch Hnr'eylzd steel used on the old ship, nnd coal bunkers will carry 2,000 tons, giving a steaming radius of 10.000 knots nt a cruising speed of 10 knots nn hour. The Interior equipment cf the vers! will contain njl of the latest Improvements nnd devices known to modern naval architecture. The ship will curry crew of about COO officers and men. Though every effort 13 being nude to hasten Its completion It will probably be a year before the Maine I ready to go Into commission.

Captured In a Church Doorway out Much Difficulty. VIth- Bridgeport, July 27. A lioness was nt large In a thickly settled part of this city for a few hours this morning. Yesterday Sawtelle's circus exhibited here on a lot near Seaside park. Some time after midnight the door of one cf the cages containing the lions was found open and a.

lioness kept there was mlss'ln. search was ir.ade nt once and the animal was found crouched In the doorwa of the M. E. Zlon church of Broad street. People were passing that place frequently und word was sent to police headquur ters and a number of pttrolmen were sent out to keep pedestrians uway.

Then arrangements w.re made to capture the animal. Hopes and chains were secured nnd all the circus employes were called together. It was proposed to make combined uttack on the animal, but bafore that was done two of the men familiar with the handling of llonsr rushed In and succeeded In getting a rope, In such a position around the lioness' body that she wus held and secured without much difficulty. There wap trouble between the management of the circus iind the can-vnstnen yesterday and live were discharged. It is supposed that one of them sneaked Into the1 lent, at night and opened the door of the cage.

The escaped lioness was on' born In captivity nnd not regarded ns particularly vicious, but far from safe to be at large In the city streets. DEITOOrrS niCBNTENAUY.

SPANISH WAR CLAIMS Trouble Between the Commission and State Department Controversy Growing Out of the Transmission to the Former by the Latter of Original Instead of Certified Wnshlngton. July 27.

A controversy has arisen between ip Spanish Tieaty Claims commission nndtheoverworked clerks of the state department. The act creating the commission contained a "that all reports, records, 'Proceedings and other documents now on file or of tecoixl In tho state dopart-jnent orf 'In any other department, or copies thereof, relating to any claims prosecuted before the said commission under this act shall be fur-, nlshed to t'he commission upon Its or-Wer." This language seemed to be explicit enough to tho Spanish Claims commission, constituted ns It was In the language of the net creating It of "live suitable persons learned In the law," nnd when the time came for them to use the records they npplhd to the state department for "certified coplw" and settled down extntfctnntly until the copies should arrive and they should be ieady to get to wotk. Greatly to the surprise of the learned lawyers on the commlrslon, however, there came Instead of the certified coplen a huge 'which, on being opened, disclosed the original papers lor Wnlch the com-slon had not asked and which they not want. Accompanying the bundle was a long letter signed by the acting secretary of state, David J. Hill.

The requeEt had besn made on May 21. It was over a month Inter, on July that the btate department got ready to transmit the documents for which no request had been made. But In -the meantime the department -antiquaries had been looking up precedents, studying tho statutes and comparing "I regret to say," wrote the assistant secretary, profoundly, "that owing to the limited' deil-Ml forcr cf tho ds-partment, and the of Its lius-Iness, It would be Impossible to furnish certified copies of all the cases bafo-io the commission without delaying Its current business to the serious detriment of the public (Service. But. inasmuch as the real Intent of the act of congress approval March 2, 1901, Is ef fectuated by thus layln commission all tbe c-vldenrc In Its.

pos session In relation to aild cases arfJ thereby enabling the commission to -proceed with their consideration without the d-eiiy and expense which would be suffered by cei'ilfled copies of the great mass of documents consisting of voluminous correspondence on file in the depart- ment, I trust that tae commission will nocept the above as a reaFonable compliance with the orders. Of this Ifeel the more assured. In view of the tan-guage of the at and of the -rupiomatlc privilege Invested In the executive, who In such cases is used to the exercise of discretion from high mn'lve of public policy. "If the commission wfrc to be deemed authorized by tho act to exerci.se tho option F'lven by cf said act, it could exercise the option to oriter tho department to furnish originals In their entirety, wMch In some cares might involve most serious consequences to foreign relations, nnd lelng also In cVrogatlon of the executive prerogative, could not be considered a construction of tho statutes an-ordlng to the original Intendment. Such construction would -strip the executive of the discretion always exercised to furnish entire o'rlglnals When requested or to furnish certified copies of such portions as are evidentiary, omitting portions of a confidential nnd privileged character.

While the grounds have been stated for supposing that the op- tlon rented In the statutes was Intertded to be left -to the executive. I have taken pains to explain, while literal compliance iwlrh the orders Is not practicable." Now It happens that th commission has reasons, regarded ns all sufficient by Its members why It does not want to be burdened with the original papers and Insists upon having certified copies Instead. For one thing the ofTlces of the commission arn In combustible build lire, while the archives In the state, department are supposed to be fireproof and the comlmsslon does not think It ought to run the risk of destroying nil the original papers. And so tit has Pnt back the originals after for-mailv refusing to i-pcelve them. Tho secretary of the cnmmlsvlon, W.

15. Spear, n-compnnie-d the return package with a letter which Chairman Chandler and other members regard ns a 'model of controversnl correspondence. He wrote: "This commission being entirely unprovided with safes, vaults or other means of pronerly protecting papers cofnmltled to their keeping, nnd having ndopted1 rules looking to the conservation of testimony nnd evidence by means evalllng Into exercise the Interest nn'di care of the -claimants for example: Requiring the claimants to present two copies of nil the paners filed, one of whldh Is to be attested by the clerk nnd returnr-d to the claimant to be ued as- an original In case the one filed Is lost or destroyed, are disinclined to receive and hold the original pnpers transmitted to the commission 3, 1901, and I respectfully ask that the same be.retaln-jd by the state department and no original papers bo forwarded here until the full board of can formally consider the of your communication."

A LESSON IN FARMING Eanch Experience Costs Frcm $1.0 Per Day, Up The reason so many people- make a failure of farming In because thy have not learned the business. Theiy have an Idea that when a man Is overcome with nn insatiable desire to farm all he has got to do Is just go out In the country somewheieand farm, Illustiatlng that It Is a business that has to bs learned.

Juat like anything else, was a little Incident that occurred yesteiday. An Irishman' whose farming experience had been conllned to a couple of days on a Salt River valley ranch, went Into Phoenix store yesterday and for a piece of canvas about ro long and so wide. That the might better understand the dl-'mens'ions he held up an old dirty piece of canvas and he wanted a piece about thiee Inches larger each way. "What do you want to do It?" asked the cleric Then the Irishman told his story. He had been hired' to loak after the lateral ditches on a farm town and In- strilnlHil tn Iht.m flpin nnit In n-niwt orSjr.

He said that In the course of i I1I3 travel along the ditch he came to a pla-e -where some fellbw had -planted a piece canvas In It and fastened It there with four sticks. He saw the water was backed up and conrluJsd that his employer wa- being robbed, so he tore out the canva3 and punched It full of holes so It could never be uied niraln. befone the. -when ha got to the house he repotted In llo nna. tnc incioint to nu employer, wno saiu: "Why, 'vou durn fool, th-at was one of my tappoons." "What t-ell Is a tappoon?" asked the Irishman.

"It is a piece of canvas that costs $1.00," replied the bos, "and the best thing vou can do Is to an down town I anj sct another one." BIG NKW TINPLATI3 PLiANT. listnblkhed at 'Martin's Ferry, W. Va. To Eavoy 0,000 Men. Wheeling, W.

Now York, July 27. The definite announcement that fre-j trade between the United States nnd Por to Itlco will be proclaimed next Thursday by the prcsldt-nl, has been tecelved with the greatest satisfaction by business men of this city. According to prominent Importers, thoroughly conversant with affairs In the Island, nn era of hitherto unknown prosperity the foimcr colony of Spain. Increase In, trade Is confidently predicted, -audi the development of the Island's rich resources will begin at once. Millions of dollars of'Amerlcan capital are ruly for the work.

The South Porto Rico Sugar company, owners of valuable plantation In the southern portion of Porto Rico, will within the next few months, expend on the erection and equipment of a number of ns tho factories wherein the cane Is crushed re termed. "Of course, we have been for the development of our property for some time," said Win. Schall, of the banking firm of Muller, Schall the local agents, to (Say. "Hut If we have done It Is because we recognized that free trade was the Inevitable outcome of the nation's -jiollcy. I understand that othT companies -with large capital are now 'being formed to exploit other sections of the Island." KFFKCT TN DRY GOODS TRADH.

The tmemillate offset on trade In this city will be felt principally by the wholesale dry dealers. "For some time," said Manager Henry T. Knowlton, of the New Yoik and Porto Rico Sttamjhlp company, "the largo dry gorfdls houses of this cltiy have bsen holding back shipments In, anticipation of the early proclamation of free trude. We have now awaiting shipment between 0,000 and 7.C00 cases, of dry goods of nn aggregate value of $700,000. Nearly 4,000 of these eases to one firm." Mr.

Knoulton looks for a more gradual Increase in other Mnef, and does not oxpect for them such a sudden, rush of business as 7MII be felt In the dry goods trade. "The1 necessities have been ad; mltteM free of duty clnce the lavage of the Foraker law," said he, "and the duties on rice and pork have been fo E.rall as really to amount to nothing. Naturally tho gieatest effect will 'be on exports from Porto UIco to the stntes, especially In sugnrand tobacco." It Is tho opinion of Ulysses D. Bddy, of Flint, Eddy and the American Trading company, that while a great increns-e in the Importation of Porto IRican. sugar Into tha- United States Is to be expected.

It will not materially effect the sugar Industry of Louisiana. WlfAT I-RER SUGATC MEANS. "The admirslon of Porto Rlcnn sugar free of duty Into 'the United States is not a blow to the American Industry, but to the said Mr. Eddy, today. There Is not enough sugar grown at present upon the Island to affect In any appreciable degree tJie amount demanded for home consumption.

T3ven if the Cuban sugar were r.dmlttedifree, tne domestic product would not encoun ter serious rivalry. 'The proeiarration of the pnesP-Jfent, giving a pr ferential position to Porto Rico similar to that enjoypd by Hawaii. -which rcEtiltel In such g'-t-at prosperity will benefit all the products of the Island. Not only It the Porto Rlcan treasury In sound condition, but the meichants are prosiwrous and able to take advantage of their corning oppor tunity." Of the outlook for Porto Rlcan tohac-co Mr. Eiddy raid: "The Island's tobacco has heretofore b3en taken largely by Gerwiny.

Comparatively, little of It has been ie.nelved In the United States. But there lit a Tood market for It here, and the probability Is that within the near futui-e It will be a feature be reckoned with In the tobacco trade of this country. "What Porto Rico need most of all Is the construction of railroads," continued Mr. Eddy. A French com'pany has a meter-gauged line connecting a points on the coast, but the construction of electric lines through the valleys and encircling the central mountnln range would tend rapidly to develop the IslanW.

There is abundant water power, which could be used for generating the electricity needed. "Another -point about Porto Rico's resources which has. been overlooked In a great -measure," concluded Mr. EUdy, "is Its rlr-h deposit of Iron ore. Many people are unaware that Iron Is found there, but before long It will be shipped to the United State- In.

The suggestion meets with general approval among high naval officials. The ships recently ordered to the European station are considered not fair leprosentatlvfs of the new navy, the Albany being a foreign-built ship, the' Chicago one of its earlier products, and the Nashville a small gunboat.
