THE MOUSING- GKEGOjSIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1902. IT NAVY NEEDS MEN Officers to Man Warships Are Lacking, TAYLOR REPORTS -ON. MATTER Chief of Bureau of Navigation Rec ommends Increase of Xuikocr of ' MidAIiipmen Wonld Concen trate Bis Klghtinsr Fleets. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. The most cry- tng need or the navy, according to the annual report of Admiral H. V. Taylor, :hle of the Bureau of Navigation, is more afflcers to man our warships. He declares that the preparations now going on for the mobilization of the fleet for the "Win ter maneuvers In the "West Indies has met the department face to face' with a critical condition due to lack of officers, which he says has reached such a point as to be dangerous to the efficiency of the: fleet. He says that the number of officers h' pur ships Is less than the "number on board the shlris of other navies, although as a matter of fact our ships require x more officers . than tho ships of other -navies be cause we are compelled, to mh our ves sels with green crews, .having little or no knowledge of sea life: He submits, a table showing that the present needs of the naval " service require 1500 officers, while the niihiber on the "navy list, in cluding midshipmen after graduation, Is only 1023, or 477 short This table is based upon the lowest possible number of officers needed on our battlensHips, 17 against an average number of officers' for similar ships in foreign navies of 33 In England, 25 in France and 20 in Ger many. He figurestthat the vessels now author ized toy Congress tout not completed, will require 49S .additional officers to- which is to be added 25 per cent for officers sick or on shore duty and 160 for casualties during the next four years, or a total for the vessels now building of 783. This number added to the present shortage, B77, will give 1360. The graduates from the naval academies during the next lour years will be 355. leaving a total deficit July 1, 1906, of 1005, not counting officers for auxiliaries who would be re quired in the event of hostilities. In addition to the Increase of midship men provided for by the last Congress, Admiral Taylor therefore recommends a further increase of one midshipman for each member and delegate in the House and each Senator, one from the Distr3 t of Columbia, and 10 annually at large. He also recommends that the number of lieutenant-commanders be Increased 30, lieutenants, senior grade, 50, lieutenants, junior grade and ensigns, 350. A concentration of the naval forces in two big fighting squadrons in the North Atlantic, and Asiatic waters is recom mended. For the present, the report says, two squadrons are all that the present number of our battle-ships will permit To carry out this policy Admiral Tay lor proposes to transfer the battle-ships in the remaining squadrons to one or the other of ;these heavy squadrons and com pose the Pacific, European and South Atlantic squadrons entirely of cruisers. These changes will be undertaken as soon as the "Winter maneuvers in the "West Indies are concluded. After the rearrangement tho distribution of the fighting force of the navy will be as follows: . - . North Atlantic Station Xearsargc, Ala bama, Massachusetts, Indiana, Maine, Illinois, Iowa "and Texas. This force should be in the future maintained at not less than eight battle-ships. Caribbean Division of North Atlantic Station Olympia, Montgomery, Marietta, Machias. Panther and Detroit. Asiatic Station Kentucky, Oregon, Wis consin, Monadnock and Monterey. The toattle-ishlps.- in this squadron are to be increased to the number of six as sown as vessels of this class are commissioned. The cruiser division of the Asiatic Sta tionNew Orleans, Yorktown, "Wilming ton, Helena, VIcksburg, Princeton, An napolis, Don Juan de Austria and Isla de Cuba. The Rainbow and a large gunboat division will as heretofore be attached to the squadron for service among the islande and the rivers. Pacific Station New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Marblehead and Ranger. European Station Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco and Albany. South Atlantic Station Newark, Atlan ta and Nashville. ' It is also proposed to form" additional torpedo-boat flotillas with a destroyer as the leading vessel,- after the plan of the present group now In the West Indies under the command of Lluetenant Chand ler. The proposed concentration of the naval forces, Admiral Taylor says, makes it de sirable to have an officer of high rank In command of each of the great heavy fleets and he recommends for these two com mands that Congress authorize the crea tion of two Vice-Admirals, or as an alter native, that It sanction the appointment of two acting Vice-Admirals. Admiral Taylor also recommends fur ther Congressional action for the estab lishment of a general staff to control and administer the affairs of the fleet, to be responsible for the personnel and to di rect Generals, under the secretary of military affairs of the fleet, and be re sponsible to him for its condition. No recommendations are made concern ing the National Naval Reserve. The -Admiral says the subject is still occupy ing the attention' of the bureau, and that the general "board has been frequently consulted, but at present the bureau is not prepared to make recommendations. Much space Is devoted in the report of the necessity for the gunnery training. Prizes are recommended for excellency In target practice. Attention Is called in detail to the operations of the fleets and the work of our naval officers and men lrf the waters of the Philippines and of the West Indies Is highly commended. To the close blockade established by vthe navy in the Island of Samar, he says, the defeat of Lukban, the insurgent leader, is largely attributable: Progres sive instructions and maneuvers similar to those which are to take place this Winter In the Caribbean are to'-be made a feature of the work of the Asiatic squadron. ORDXAXCE OFFICERS TOO FEW. Chief of Department Says Present Rules Are Unsatisfactory. WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.General Will lam Crozier. Chief of the Bureau of Ord nance, in his annual report to the Secre tary of War, says the effort to supply tho Ordnance -Department with proper officers under existing laws have failed, and some thing else must be tried, and he adds that vacancies can be filled by holding out some inducement to "the eligible body of officers, which contains abundant talent General Crozier reports that the im proved musket has been completed, and with very satisfactory results, the vari ous changes not only improving the weap on, but cheapening and ' accelerating the production. The rod bayonet is a feature of the new rifle. Its advantage is said to lie in the fact that it lightens the weight of the gun and dispenses with the bavonet and bayonet scabbard now in use, and in the place of -which intrenching tools may be carried by the soldier. The new piece weighs but a little less than syz pounds, considerably lighter than the German and the Mauser, yet has greater velocity and greater penetration. It is noted that opin ions differ as to the value of the rod bayo net The construction of 5000 of the now muskets has been authorized. General Crozier embraces in his report the conclusions of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications on the recent tests of the several systems for a new field gun to show why the Ordnance Department model Is superior. Ho says the bureau is proceeding with the manufacture of the field material from designs which It has prepared , concurrently with the developr mcnt of knowledge by teste. Generally speaking, the new gun will have a cali ber of three Inches and will fire a projec tile weighing 15 pounds with an initial velocity of 1700 feet per second; The breach mechanism will te of the Ordnance Department type, with certain modifica tions for securing safety. The piece will have a record of 45 to 48 inches. Defects developed at the tests on the proving grounds arc to be remedied. A newfeat ure will be the bullet-proof shields with which the pieces are to be provided. To Captain Charles B. Wheeler is given credit for the design, of , the gun carriage. Speaking of mounted guns and carriages. General Crozier says none of those tested have been found superior to the type now in use. Attention is called to the desira bility of attaching elecfric motors to tho disappearing gun carriages. Efforts are making by the bureau to increase the rapidity of fire of seacoast guns by the Introduction of automatic .appllances-for opening and closing the breech, and" by the use of special devices for ramming pro jectiles and inserting powder charges. Reference is made to the discussion that has been had relative to the use of the disappearing sun carriages, and to the ac tion of Congress and the determination of the matter by the War Department after tests by an Army board, which "recorded its opinion that the mechanical principles Involved in the chief elements of move ments of the Buffington-Crozler. disappear ing carriages were admirably adapted to their purposes." WIRELESS. TELEGRAPHY. FOR XAVY Chief of Ordnance Iteconimeniii Con trol .of All Coast Stations WASHINGTON, . Nov. lO.-Government control of all wireless telegraph stations along the coast of the United States is recommended by" Rear-Admiral R. B. Bradford, Chief of the-Bureau of Equlp. ment in his annual report, in the con cluding portion, which was Issued today. Foreign governments, it Is pointed out,, are exercising careful supervision over the location of wirele; stations within their vaters, thus Insuring prompt trans mission of messages at all times. Admiral Bradford says It is proposed to establish wireless telegraph stations for the pur pose of instructing officers and men at Newport, New York. San Francisco, and probably other Naval stations. In order to ascertain the effect of heat which Is said to be injurious to the successful working of wireless apparatus, a station will be established at Key West, Fla. Although other naval powers are far In advance of the United States in the installation of wireless telegraph and ap pliances on board Naval ships, Rear-Admiral Bradford does not believe any ground has been lost by the United States in pursuing a conservative policy In the adoption of some particular system for use In the Navy. Many vessels are nqw ready for tho .Installation of wireless ap paratus and others are being prepared. No satisfactory result has yet been ob tained by the board of officers in charge of the tests of the various systems, and it Is proposed to purchase other Instruments for trial before a selection is made. Four systems of wireless" telegraphy have been developed in Europe which seem promis ing. The bureau has purchased two sets of each and certain appliances from the makers which also appear promising. At tention is called to the opportunity for officers of studying wireless telegraphyf only three having been engaged in this work thus far. In foreign navies com missions of distinguished officers are en gaged solely in this service. In regard to the construction of the trans-Pacific cable; Rear-Admiral Brad ford reports that, so far as he is aware, the Commercial Pacific Cable Company has signified no intention of following the Government requirement for bufldlng a cable as specified by the President The report -says that, although the officers of .the company appeared anxious before the. adjournment of -Congress to obtain the Pacific cable surveys made by the depart ment, no. application has been made at this department for this Information. The repoTt says that no statement has been given out concerning the route the com pany Intends lo follow, nor have steps been taken to prepare relay stations on American terrltfiry considered necessary -by the department with the exception of acquiring the .site for a landing near Honolulu. In 61 foreign ports agreements have been made to supply ships of the Navy with coal at below current rates. Admiral Bradford says that owing to the lack of Naval coal depots, the fleet narrowly es caped being left without coal last Sum mer as a result of the strike. He adds: "Should there be a general strike of bituminous coal miners, or employes of railroads carrying coal to tho tide "water, or in transportation lines generally, the ships of the Navy would at present be helpless." To overcome the danger it is recommended that large stocks of coal be kept on hand at all times and places at convenient depots along the coasts. Rear-Admiral Bradford expects that the demand for these depots will be even greater in the future, in view of the changing politics of the world. It Is recommended that Port Royal, S. C, which probably is to be abandoned for'use as a Naval station, be the site of a Naval coal, depot. Admiral Bradford suggests' that a stor age capacity of 25,000 tons should be se cured at the Guam naval station, with adequate means for handling the coal rapidly, as this port will undoubtedly be come an Important port of call with the completion of the isthmian canal. RURAL MAIL NEEDS MORE MONEY. Assistant Postmaster-General Favors u Greater Aojproprlntion. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The annual report of Robert J. Wynne, First Assist ant Postmaster-General., urges that In view of the success iof the Tural free de livery establishments and Its future ne cessities the recommendation for J12.655, S00 in the estimates for that purpose is -reasonable. The amount is an Increase of a little more than $5,000,000 over the cur rent fiscal year, To correct what the re port considers the injustice of compelling a Postmaster to pay part of his salary for cleric hire, Mr. Wynne urges legislation authorizing the Postoffice Department to make allowances for clerk hire at third class offices when It 'is satisfactorily shown that the Postmaster, by devoting his time and attention to the office, is unable to transact the postoffice business. The advisability of erecting public build ings for the establishment of branch post offices in cities is discussed, and the plan is indorsed as economical to the Govern ment The report says an effort has been made to equalize the salaries of clerks in first- and second-class postoffices by tho promotion of low-salaried but efficient clerks. At the large first-class offices clerks are not now working in excess of eight hours a day, but it is Impracticable under existing conditions to give clerks in the smaller offices eight hours' continuous service. An effort is being made to re duce their hours to a fair basis. In the city delivery service a plan is proposed whereby In the larger cities sub stitute carriers shall receive at least 530 a month, nd In the smaller cities $25 a month. Tho rural free delivery system, the report, says, has become a permanent feature of the postal service, and the serv ice has increased the postal receipts and improved conditions wherever it has been put in operation. No deficiency, it is said, will be created by this service. It will be left to Congress to say whether estab lishment of routes already laid out shall be hastened and the installation of routes in course of Investigation expedited. It Is recommended that Congress make pro visions for a leave of absence, with full pay, for rural carriers, not to exceed 15 days In a fiscal year. Extension toN rural carriers of pwer to receive and register letters" has proved- so acceptable a public .benefit that it is pur posed further to increase the usefulness by adding, under proper regulations, an extension of, the money-order system to rural routes. Rural carriers are now em powered, to receipt for money orders. It 13 intended after January 1 next to empower them also to pay money orders at the resi dences of known patrons of the routes. The maximum fee for a money order of 5100 Is SO cents. It Is recommended that the maximum fee be reduced to 25 cents, with proportionate reduction whcneerthe amount exceeds $50. CANAL TREATY IS ASSURED. Colombia'! Stand Will Cause United States No Trouble. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Secretary Hoy today had a conference with Senator Cullom, chairman of the Senate commits tee on foreign relations, and also with Senator Morgan, the senior member of the minority of the Senate" committee on canal matters. The Secretary was able to show that substantial progress is making to ward the completion of a treaty with the Colombian government, conveying the necensary rights for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. In fact, so well have the negotiations progressed lately between Secretary Hay and Senor Concha, the Colombian Minis ter, that It is now. expected that by the end of the present week all of the phases of the proposition will have been- dis closed, and little will remain to be done to conclude the convention. It can be stated that the attitude of the Colombian negotiations presents no VICTIMS Clara Morton. BOSTON, Nov. 10. Alan G.

TRIUMPH FOR CASTRO' Leader of Venezuelan Forces Enters Caracas Amid Ringing of Bells. CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. 10. President Castro made a triumphal official entry into Caracas yesterday at the head of ,3203 troops, amid the ringing of bells and a display of fireworks.

Third and Washington WORK IN BONANZA MINE XEW HOISTIXG 3IACniXERY RE CENTLY. INSTALLED. One .of Rest in Nortlivrcst and Cost 125,000 SJtnft Down SOO Feet Work Progressing Rapidly. BAKER CITY, Nov. 10 (Speclal.)-rOne of the best equipped mines in the state for deep mining is the Bonanza mine, sit uated eight miles northwest of Whitney, in the Greenhorn district The Bonanza is one of the noted mines of Eastern Ore gon, having been worked lor many years. In the earjy days Eometlmes it paid hand sdmely, and again it, cost its owners stack's of money without yielding an ade quate' return for the time, labor and money expended. Several- years ago this .mine became the property of the Geiser varying' success until Albert Geiser, who succeeded to the management opened up an immensely rich ore shoot and then it payed handsomely. Some Pennsylvania people- heard of the mine, and, after ex porting it carefully, they made an offer of 55CO.C00 for the property, which was accepted. . . - Up to tho .time of the last sale, all of the ore taken from the mine was brought OF BOSTON'S "JACK THE Agnes McPb.ee., out through a tunnel. Today this mine is equipped with one of the finest hoists In the West The shafthouse is on the top of a hill 5700 feet above sea level, wrjere it can bojseen frmo Whitney. Exr elusive of "the engine-room, the shaft house is S4x36 feet square and 74 feet high to gallowa Back of the hoist building proper is another building which housap the boilers and engines. The en gines are the very latest pattern of up-to-date hoisting engines, of 325 horse power'. Theso engines are so finely ad justed that they make considerably les3 noise than a sewing machine when In op-' eration. The engineer has such perfect control over them that he can raise or lower the cage in the shaft a half Inch and stop the engines Ihstantljv. A three compartment shaft' Is being sunk. Each compartment is 4x4. feet in the clear. Two of the compartments will be, used for the double cages, on "which the. ore will be hoisted, and the other will be set apart as the manway, through which the miners can escape in case the machinery should get out of order. At the present time the shaft is down something over 800 feet. Stations have been cut ana levels started every 100 feet A cress-cut -will be run on the 800-foot level to the -vein about 200 feet distant The ahaft Is being sunk at the rate of two ieet every 24 hours, unde the di rection of Ed Smith, the mine foreman. The Smiths have considerable to do about this mine. A. J. Smith is one of the en gineers in charge of the hoisting en gines, a position of grave responsibility, requiring both skill and careful judgment The hoist cost about $125,000 complete, and is regarded "by mining experts as one of the best in the "Northwest The engine-room Is handsomely finished inside. All of the woodwork Is painted white; the floor Is of quarter-sawed pine and pol ished like a dancing floor. The engine Is polished up like a piece of silverware, and, regardless of the fact that it is a very large piece of machinery, there is not a particle of dirt to be found about any of its parts. The main shaft of the engine is so large that, it occupied one entire freight car on the O. R. & N., and it was neces sary to load' it on two narrow-gauge cars of the Sumptrr Valley Railroad to trans port it to Whitney. From Whitnev to the mine, a distance of eight miles, It required one week's time to transport this main shaft to the mine. It requires a battery ONLY DEMOCRAT ELECTED TO A STATE OFFICE IN COLORADO.

At the present time 17 men are em ployed sinking the ehaft. They work eight-hour shifts. Just as soon as the work of extracting ore begins -at least 100 men will, be required to keep the hoist and quartz mill going. The work of taking out ore will begin shortly, but that will not Interfere-with the work, of sinking the shaft The ca pacity ofthc hoist machinery Is. 2500 feet, and it is the intention to sink the shaft to that depth provided tho ore values hold out When the mine -was closed down to per mit the erection of the hoisting plant the average output was said to be about 0, 000 a month. ' With the new equipment the output viil be at least double that amount In the near future. Move to End Great Labor Vt'ar. DENVER. Nov. 10.

Roth She and Her Mother Are En thuMiastic Over a; TVonderf.nl Eve'nt in Their Live. Misc Maud E. Cable, cf Chico, Butte County, Cal., is a bright, vivacious girl of 15, "with the glow at health in her cheeks. A few months a;o, however, she was sick and weakly. How thia. wonderful change came about ia best told In the words cf her mother, Mrs. Rose Cable, who says; . - "My daughter was In a miserable state of health, and I feared she could not live. It began with irregularity in the natural functions of her. sex, accompa nied by severe headaches, heart and stomach trouble, and finally she broke down entirely. The doctor said sht had anaemia, which, he said, meant that her blood had turned to water. "The pain in her head was so seveja that she was hardly able to hear it; her stomach w as so weak that she could cat nothing but soup. Her liver was con gested and torpid, her nerves all un strnug, and her compleslon just like a dead person's. She grew worse in apite of the doctor's care, and finally her hands and feet began to 3we!l. "As advertisement in the papers led me to have her try Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she besan to. feel better almost immediately Upon taking them. She grew better every day. When she had taken them two weeks she had gained eight pounds, and fourteen by the time she had taken Ave" boxes. Her color has come back, and she looks like her old self. She has gone to work again. "I feel very grateful for what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for her, for I am sure they saved her life." Anaemia is not the only disease which succumbs to the potent Influence cf Dr. Williams -Pink Pills for Pale People. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial par alysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects' of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions,! and all forms of weakness, either lrr male cr female. They are sold by all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, X. T. Price 50 cents per box; six boxes, 2 5.0. Probably there is no' caution given by a doctor to his patients which, is so important or so constantly re-' peated as the cqmmand to a girl no.t to get her feet -wet. A long train, of ills follows upon we feet, and the health of many a woman has been undermined by; neglect of this. With women wet feet are not the result of . storms for then rubbers' are worn. They are the result of unexpected showers when no rub-' bers are at hand. The best protec tion is apair of "Queen Quality' water-proof shoes light in weight, water-tight as shoes can be made, with, absolutely damp-proof sole. They are a sure safeguard against danger of wet pavements. See these shoes for yourself and" you will certainly buy a pair. We. have them at all times in all sizesi and widths.
