The water is the only place from which the launching will be visible, and boats, launches and rafts are in readiness. The Constitution will be lowered into the water slowly and gradually under con trol of a windlass. From the time the bottle of wine is broken on her bow until she is afloat, probably 20 minutes will elapse.

Only War to Get Honest and Capable Indian Agents. NEW YORK, May 5. A report by the Investigating committee of the National Civil Service Reform League on condi tions of the Indian service, with partic ular reference to the appointment of agents under the present Administration, has been presented to the council of the league. The facts and recommendations contained In the report have also, been submitted to President McKinley. The report says in part1: 1 'Under the system of patronage ap pointments, these wards of the Nation have in many cases been despoiled by fraudulent contracts, whereby the agents have .obtained large sums of money In violation of law, while the morals of the Indians have been corrupted by the ex ample of care-takers, who are often drunken, brutal, licentious and dishonest. Recently the Secretary of the Interior re quired that the bids for the leasing of the Indian lands should be opened and the leases awarded In Washington under the direct supervision of the Indian Bu reau, and not as formerly upon the res ervations. The result of this system, and of the exposure of the fraudulent use of Indian lands, already shows a net gain to the Indians of about 5150,000, the greater part of which was upon the Osage Reservation alone. Nothing could better illustrate the enormous waste and pre sumptive peculations which have existed In he past in respect to this one feature of Indian administration." .A number of Instances are cited show ing how agents have abused their power for their own pecuniary benefit and with demoralizing consequences to the Indians. The report says it seems evident that whatever temporary improvement may be made by changes in the personnel of the Indian service, no lasting reform can, be Inaugurated without a change In the sys tem itself. It Is submitted that under sec tion 1753, of the revised statutes, the Chief "Executive has the right to promul gate regulations declaring that all ap pointments of Indian agents hereafter shall be made by promotion from the su perintendents of Indian schools, and from the other higher grades on the classified Indian service and by details from the Army. In pursuance of this statute, an Inspector might be selected by the Presi dent from the classified .service to ascer tain and report the relative qualifications of the different persons in this service eligible for appointment. GENERAL GEORGE L. GILLESPIE. WASHINGTON, May 5 General George L. Gillespie, who has Just been appointed Chief of .Engineers, is somewhat acquainted In Oregon and Washington. General Gillespie, then Major, was superintendent of survejs and improvements of the rivers and harbors In Oregon and Washington Territory, and of the 13tlr llshth'ouse district, and of the defenses at the mouth of the Columbia River, from October 21, 1878, to July 7, 1681. He has since been stationed at New York, where he has had Immediate control of the great harbor and Its Improvement. For a brief period, however, he was stationed at Boston. General Gillespie la -personally popular among the corps officers, and is an exceptionally equipped man, as Is evidenced by the fact that he has had for many years the most Important assignment of any officer In the Engineer Corps General Gillespie graduated from West Point, June 17, 1862. At that time he entered the Army as a Second Lieutenant, going immediately Into active service. Less than a year from his commission he was raised to a First Lieutenancy. He was made Captain of Engineers in April, 1804, and was Identified with the battle of Cold Harbor, and later the 6iege of Petersburg. For gallant service In the campaign before Richmond he was, In August, 1864, brevetted Major. In April, 1865, be was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel for gallantry in the campaign from Win chester to Appomattox, and la September, 1800, he was made a Major In the regular Armj. In 1886, he was advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, from which rank he was promoted to the head of the Engineer Corps. 1 .750 2 .500 2 .WX 3 .250 NorthTrcst Lenfirae Standing. Won. Lost. P.

Hunting was wild, "and RATE-MAKING MEETING. Much Interest In Session of Western Classification Committee. SAN FRANCISCO, May 5. The meet ing of. the Western, Classification Com mittee at Del Monte this week is at tracting considerable attention In rail road circles, as well as among Pacific Coast jobbers, who will probably have a large representation at the meeting to protect their interests In a number of matters that will come up for consid eration. The docket for the Del Monte meeting embraces 300 topics, the consid eration of which will probably keep the freight officials in session three or four days. The question that is attracting the most serious attention, and one that Is strenuously opposed by the California line and th,e entire jobbing interests of the Pacific Coast, Is the proposition to change the classification of a large num ber of items of merchandise so as to permit Eastern Jobbers and manufactur ers to ship mixed carloads of merchan dise to Pacific Coast points at rates that would prove destructive to the business of Pacific Coast jobbers. As set forth In the official circular that has just been served on the several, roads that are parties to the Western Classification, the proposition embraces a scheme to. estab lish a uniform discount' for mixed car loads. It Is thought that this Is a new and Ingenious plan .to.-accompllsh the ob ject for which the St. Louis Business Men's League has been" contending for several years In Its noted case before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The scheme is believed to have been In spired by the jobbing interests of the 'Middle West, but just what roads are supporting It Is not stated. Local job bers say they do not Jbelleve the trans continental lines will "undertake" in ad vance of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission In the St. Louis f jobbers' case, to adopt any such prlncl- file ot rate-making as that embraced In he scheme to establish discounts for mixed carload shipments, but they think It will be only proper precaution to be strongly represented at the meeting. dec, martial law, requiring all merchants whose s,tores, were spared by the confla gration to open their doors and sell to all who .ask, , The streets havetbeen crowded, all day withns"hopp'ers' -who lost all in the fire, and many stores will remain open all night It is estimated that SOOO persons have left the city, and every outgoing train Is crowded with refugees. Five carloads of tents were received today, the property of the state, which are to be used by the homeless temporarily. Another shipment of tents is expected from the Government to arrive tomor row, Tomorrow morning the Times-Union and the Citizen will, estimate the total property loss at ?U,000,000. These figures are based upon an itemized statement furnished by a volunteer committee of citizens. Rumors of loss of life are on every hand tonight, and the river has been closely watched today. Many persons have confirmed the report of loss of life at the Market-street wharr. Numerous advertisements appeared In the local pa pers asking for aid in searching for per sons who arS missing. As many have left the city for the gulf, it is impossible to tell Who has been lost in the Market street pier tragedy. A committee of Atiantans was here to day to deliver ?1000 worth of provisions, promising another car during the week. Atlanta also furnished 1000 feet of hose. Martial law is being rigidly enforced, and the town is quiet, although much anxiety prevails because of threats said to have been made by the negroes that they would obtain provisions by force at their first opportunity. In the west ern portion of the city, the debris Is still burning, but no further outbreak of the flames is anticipated. Tomorrow morning the citizens' com mittee will meet to further organize the relief work. Every portion of the city will be visited, and food and provisions offered wherever there Is suffering. At a meeting df the relief committee today a resolution was adopted offering work to every unemployed person In the city, to be paid for at the rate of ?1 per day and rations. The men will be put to work clearing away the debris In the ruined district. It is believed this plan will prove a happy solution of the race situation, and will prevent any antici pated trouble. The majority of the property-owners who suffered losses have announced their intention of rebuilding as soon as the debris can be removed. The city is rap- Idly recovering from the shock and ex homeless, and thousands destitute.- Our people responding liberally, but demands for help beyond our ability to meet. "J. E. T. BOWDEN. Mayor." " To Mayor Bowden a telegram was sent telling him? that .the cltizenB of New York wpUJd? responp nobly to his appeal, as soon as they knew just what was needed 'and that the emergency commit tee would meet tomorrow with the old Galveston relief committee, to take ac tion upon receipt of any definite information. MESSAGE FROM M'KINLEY. Government Will Do All It Can In tile Worlc of Relief. TALLAHASSEE, Fla,, May 5. Gover nor Jennings this afternoon received the following telegram: - "El Paso, Tex., May 5. To the Gov ernor of Florida, Tallahassee: "I have just learned of the calamitous fire that has swept over the City of Jacksonville, and hasten to express the deep sympathy, In common with our country, I feel for them who have 'suf fered. The Government will do all If can In the work of relief. "WILLIAM M'KINLBT." Governor Jennings acknowledged the receipt of the President's message of sympathy as follows:, "Tallahassee, Fla., May 5. Hon. William McKinley, El Paso, Tex.: "We all appreciate your sympathy for the suffering of our people caused by the Jacksonville conflagration, which Is appalling, and thank you for the aid of the Government, so generously tendered. Estimated that over 10,000 homeless, and that loss will reach fifteen millions. No lives lost so far as known. Sufficient funds have been placed at disposal of relief association to provide for immedi ate necessities. Perfect order prevails. I beg to extend gratitude of the people of Florida to you. "W. S. JENNINGS, "Governor." CHICAGO, May 5. Seven people were burned to death, three fatally injured, and several others slightly burned and otherwise injured in a fire that destroyed a three-story apartment building at 9316 Marquette avenue, South Chicago, early today. The dead: "Mrs. Josephine Cboley. Mabel Cooley, 6 years o'.d. daughter of Mrs. Cooley. Annie Cooley; 15 months old. Peter Zook, owner of the building. Mrs. Peter Zook. Victoria Zook. Nicholas Zook. The seriously Injured: William Cooley, husband of Mrs. Josephine Cooley, badly burned, will die: Louisa Chrlstensen. face and body burned, will probably die; Mabel Chrlstensen, 2 years old, severely burned, will die; Harry Murphy, slightly burned and both legs broken by jumping from third-story window, will recover; John Zook, badly burned and bruised, will re cover; Mrs. Julia Erwln, burned and bruised. While the occupants of the burning building were struggling with the smoke and flames in hopes of forcing their way to safety, the firemen, who were respond ing to the alarm were vainly waiting for a freight train, whlpji bloqked the way of thfr fire' engines, to -move .away from the crossing and give an open road to the fire. Marshal Drlscoll, In charge of the flremenf called to the conductor and brakemen to move the train, but they refused to comply with his request. The police were sent for and the train crew was arrested. Theti, under orders of the Fire Marshal, the train was backed from thecrosslng, but by the time the firemen reached the burning building the struc ture had been destroyed. Scattered among the embers were found the charred re mains of the victims. The bodies were burned beyond recognition, and were iden tified in various ways. The train crew, who live at Elkhart, Ind are being held, awaiting an Inves tigation by the Coroner. The origin of the fire Is .unknown. The building was an old one, built of wood, and burned so rapidly that all avenues of escape by stairways were cut off before the occu pants were aware of the flro. Officials of the Lake Shore & Michi gan Southern Railway, .on whose tracks the train Is said, to ;have bjockaded the firemen, declare that they have evidence that the blocking lasted but a few min utes, and that the""members of the train crew did everything " in their power to make way for the fire engines. After an investigation by the' police officials, the train crew was released on bdrids tonight. The fire was fraught with an Incident of the most distressing character. The lit tle 2-year-old daughter of Christiansen, who lived on the third floor, 'was ter ribly burned, her left arm and her face being roasted. Her father, a follower of Dr., Dowle, refused to allow the little one to have medical attention, and fought desperately when she was taken from him. He clung to the burned arm of the child and part of the flesh was torn from the member. Whe'i finally the police forced him to give up l the little one he cursed them and prayed that they might be punished for subjecting his child to the worldly science of medicine. The father was knocked down by some per son In the crowd and barely escaped lynching. He was arrested. Persons , llYlpg in the vicinity of the building were today Inclined to connect the disaster with a warfare that had been waged between the Zook and Cooley families' for several days. This trouble led to a fierce fight between Zook and Cooley Saturday night. Cooley was se-' vefely beaten and lie announced that he woutd apply 'on Monday for a warrant for Zook's 'arrest. The Zooks lived in the front flat on the second floor. The Cooleys lived 'oh the floor above. J s TWO CARS COLLIDED. About n Dozen People Injured Due , . to Defective Brakes. ATCRON, O., May 5. Two Northern Ohio traction cars collided at the foot of a steep hill on North Howard street this afternoon, and about a dozen people were injured The two cars were loaded with passengers, and were traveling close to gether. For some reason the brakes on the second car failed to work, and It dashed down the hill at a terrific speed, striking the forward car, which had stopped to take on more passengers. Strange to say, none of the occupants of the Second ,car was injured except Motorman Scott, who sustained serious internal Injuries. The rear platform of the forward car-was crowded, and all on the platform we're more or less Injured. The more seriously hurt are: John Rausch, left leg crushed; George Authen relth, foot crushed; John Hobacht, leg crushed; Miss Georgia Copp, Injured about the hips; W. T. Sawyer, attorney, inter nally; A. B. Scott, motorman, Internally; James Mitchell, legs broken. It is not believed that any of the pas sengers on the forward car escaped with out Injury of some kind. Many of them went to their homes In private convey ances and on the electric cars, and their names Could not be obtained. The city officials had warned the company that cars were allowed to' run too fast down the hill. A thorough investigation of the accident will be made. Rtg&srad by && ' 9. S.
