BRISTOL, R. I., May 5. All arrange
ments have been made at the Herreshoff's
yard for the launching of the Constitu
tion tomorrow afternoon. The yacht Is in
complete readiness. Butler Duncan and
his party will be admitted Into the shop,
but, according to the present plans the
Herreshoff plant will be closed to sight
seers. 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. In that Interval, by means of
searchlights and flashlights jealously
guarded secrets of her hull will be ob
served by a hundred eager eyes, and
many a camera will record the graceful
yacht on its wa yto the water.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The reasons why Dr. Kessler Is so suc
cessful In the permanent cure of the above
chronic diseases are simple and easy of
comprehension, yet extremely Important.
First, let It be said that to cure these
lingering diseases requires many years'
experience. By treating hundreds of such
diseases every year the specialist becomes
intimately acquainted with their every
phase and condition, which en
ables him to know at once just
what form of treatment Is re
quired to effect a speedy relief
and a permanent cure. A spe
cialist's ability to cure deep
seated diseases is In proportion
to his years of experience.
For 25 years Dr. Kessler has
made a specialty of curing
chronic disorders of the nervee.
blood, kidneys and bladder and
weaknesses of the urinary canal.
Simple diseases, such as ma
laria, can easily be cured by
the family physician. Chronic diseases,
such as kidney trouble, or vital weakness
of the nervous system and of the organs
caused by violation of the laws of health.
require nothing short of the services of a
specialist experienced in such diseases.
And, remember, a specialist Is one who
devotes his entire time and study to the
treatment of CHRONIC and private dis
eases, 'and who has had years of ezpe
rienra. '
