WASHINGTON, D. August noon to-morrow there will be opened in the office of the Secretary of the Navy the proposals for building three great battle ships, authorized by the last naval appropriation bill. These vessels will represent the very latest developments in naval construction, in many respects being improvements upon the Illinois class of battle ships, upon which they are generally patterned. The specifications call for vessels of 11,500 tons displacement, about. the size of the Iowa, but the batteries will turrets be more formidable, consisting of thirteeninch guns, while the Iowa has only twelveinch guns.

The speed, is fixed at 16 with provision for deductions in price in case of deficiency, but with no premiums for excess speed.

"but I think it likely that under the pecullar conditions confronting us, a call for a special meeting will be issued soon. We are anxious to take the necessary action declaring Ganzert's office vacant, and appoint his successor if we can do 80 legally. When he had his trouble. with Attorney Wallace Burch we thought that a long-looked for opportunity had arrived to remove him from office. However, we found that for certain reasons he could not be removed, the principal of which was that he had furnished good bond.

If Ganzert fails to get bond in his present emergency, and should be confined in Jail any length of time, we would declare his office vacant and appoint his successor. I shall see an attorney, and secure an opinion relative to the advisability of declaring Ganzert's office vacant regardless of his success or non-success in getting released from custody. Guided by such an opinion the Trustees of Columbia Township may be depended on to take speedy and definite action in this matter." SMALL SIZE of Joseph Williams Allowed a Car To Pass Over Him.
