OKLAHOMA CITY. OKLA.. FRIDAY, SFPTEMflER 6,1907
WILL CROSS PACIFIC
And Return Through the Suez
Canal. Another Fleet to Be
Organized to Protect
Atlantic Coast
New York, Sept. 5.—Some Interest-
ing information bearing on the dis-
patch of Admiral Evans' battleship
fleet to the Paelfic is published in the
Times today and is credited to a high
authority. The administration it is
stated does not mean to confine the
fleet's movements to the Pacific coast.
The president's plan is to send the war
ships on to Hawaii and then to the
Philippines after their visit to Califor-
nia ports. When orders are issued
for their return the route designated
will be via the Suez canal. Thus the
fleet will circumnavigate the globe. It
Is further learned that in the mean-
time the Atlantie coast will not be
left unprotected but that at the In-
stanee of President Roosevelt the navy
department has already beerun to plan
the mobilization of another fleet to
replace that under Admiral Evans.
The flagship of the new fleet will be
4h<* New Hampshire, a 1 * .000 ton bat-
tleship which is to be ready for . oin-
mission early in January. As soon as
possible she is to be joined by Ihe
Mississippi and the Idaho, two first
class battleships now under construc-
tion by the Cramps and nearlng com-
pletion These three powerful ves-
sels will serve as consorts to three vet-
eran of the Spanish war, the battle-
ships Iowa. Ipdiana and Massachu-
setts, which are now being modern-
lezd. This fleet of six batleshlps will
have as its auxiliaries the three new
scout cruisers, which are almost ready
for srrvic#, the Chester. Birmingham,
and Salem. Subsequently the new At-
lantic fleet xx ill be reinforced by the
iwo 16.000 t in battle hips, Michigan
mid South Carolina and the two fa«t
Armored cruisers of 14,000 tons oa -h.
the North Carolina and the Montana.
The New Hampshire is similar to the
Connecticut. Admiral Evans* flagship,
In type but the Idaho and the Miss-
issippi which are 13.000 tons each, are
o fa type peculiar to themselves. They
are noted for the power of their arma-
ment. notwithstanding their relatively
small tonnage. The Chester. RirmiiiR-
ham and Salem are of 3,7f>0 tons each
and they are to he capable of 25 knots
an hour speed.

tor accidentally shot and killed him-
self last night when packinsr his grip
praparatory to leach.* for Wlll'maa-
tic. <v>nn.. to join his family who had

4,The minimum price to be paid for
this season's crop will likely be fixed

day," declared James McNeill, of i''a-
yetteville, N. C., president of the Na-

ing of the organization, which com-
menced today. Mr. McNeill is an ex-

will base its figures upon the returns
by the leading cotton men of every
county In every cotton producing state
In the south," he continued. "1 havo
placed the estimate of 12,600,000 bales
on this season's crop, if there Is a late
frost the crop will likely go to 13,-
000,000 bales. An early frost would
result in reducing these figures.
"During the past winter numerous
warehouse^ have been built through-
out the south and holding companies
formed. The Southern Cotton asso-
ciation is an organization for the busi-
ness men, capitalists and fanner.-- and
is one of the strongest organizations

MAKES WISE
MOVE
Pekin, Sept. 5.—The action of the
throne in calling to the capital Chang
Phi Tung who is China's greatest
scholar and young Shi Kai, the most
liberal of the progressive Chinese
statesmen has caused an excellent im-
pression. No official changes since
the passing of Prince Tuan Yung r.u
and LI Hung Chang are comparable
In importance with the steps just
taken by the Dowager Empress. It is
expected that Tuan Fang will shortly
be made viceroy of Chi Li province
succeeding Yuan Shi Kal. The Dow-
ager Empress in thus surrounding her-
self with the strongest and most emin-
ent men of the empire has surprised
even those who were aware of the
throne's apprehensions and its deter-
mination to fortify the government to
the utmost. The board of foreign
affairs with Yuan Phi Kal, Na Tung
and Chang among Its members be-
comes the strongest In the history of
China's foreign relations, and Is es-
pecially acceptable to China's unag-
gressive friends. It Is reported that a
place will be provided in the foreign
ofTice for Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng,
farmer CtlilMNM m • er ut wuhlof*
ton, following his arrival here.

"About fifteen minutes ago 1 was

said Mr. lleyman. "it is a pleasant
duty and 1 am deeply sensible of the
honor which this occasion affords. I I

"I want to say also on behalf of our |
