FLEET TOSSED
BY HEAVY GALE
Illinois Parts Anchor-Chain
: and Drifts in Shore at
i Monterey Harbor.
HEADS FOR THE ALABAMA
Heroic Work or Helmsmen Prevents
AYhat Seemed Like Collision.
Drifts 800 Yards Before the
Emergency Anchors Hold.
MONTEREY, Cal., May 3. A north
west gale sweeping into the harbor
gave the. eight ships of the second di
vision of the Atlantic fleet several
Sours of watchfulness last night and
cut off all communication with the
shore.
A serious accident was narrowly
averted when the battleship Illinois.
1 second in line from the Alabama, flag;
' .ship of Rear-Admiral Sperry, parted
her anchor chain in the height of the
blow and went drifting toward the
ihore. The Illinois headed directly for
the Alabama and it looked for a time
as though a collision was imminent,
wjr heroic work the helmsman managed
is steer the drifting ship away and the
'nly damage done was the tearing
vway of the port gangway of the Ala-
, bsma. The Illinois driftly fully 8J0
yards before her emergency anchors,
ent spinning into the white-capped
waters, finally held fast.
.. The high winds continued today and
the Illinois made no attempt to re-
' gain her position in the fourth division
column.
I As early as 9 o'clock last night it
was announced that no more steam
launches would run between the ships
and shore. Many stout little steamers
', that already had made the shore were
held In the sheltered waters and the
launches near the ships were hauled
out of the water. A thousand liberty
men were ashore and the problem of
finding a place for them to sleep se
verely taxed the available buildings in
Monterey. . The patrol officers on duty
had to share the lot of the men and
sleep on hard pine floors with only
their capes to protect them.
Admiral Sperry's barge from the
Alabama had a hole stove in her bow
as the result of 'a collision with the
ship's gangway and was beached later
in the night. A schooner laden with
lime also went ashore, and a gasoline
launch In which an unfastened lighted
lantern had been left burning caught
fire and went to the bottom.
It is believed the anchor lost from
the Illinois when the cable parted last
night may not be recovered, as the
water is too deep for divers to work
In, All of the ships managed to send
boats to the shore today at intervals.
It was said, however, that if the blow
continued it might delay the departure
of the second squadron ships for Santa
Crux tomorrow.
BEADY TO RECEIVE THE FLEET
San Francisco Gaily Decorated in
Honor of Great Occasion.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 3. In eager ex
pectation San Francisco Is awaiting the
arrival ,of the Atlantic battleship fleet.
The meats are baked, the house is in
order and the feast is set. The members
of the household are clothed In their best
raiment and are busy with the final ar
rangement of bow and other adornment.
Fluttering flags, Navy pennants and
streamers and Rear-Admiral Evans' pic
ture are everywhere. Market street is
a long vista of bunting in the National
colors and flags waving from white poles
60 feet high, every 100 feet, one large
and a cluster of five smaller flags flying
from each one and terminating in the
huge red. white and blue shield on the
tall Ferry tower. On each side of the
tower, stretched on long wire cables,
are the words "Welcome to the Atlantic
Fleet," in the kaleidoscopic colors of the
International Navy Signal Code nags and
V pennants, while on Tel graph Hill the
word "Welcome" stands in letters 15
feet high which can b. read for many
mile, and which at night will be il
luminated by 2GO0 electric lights Fes
toons of incand scent lights run on both
sides of th principal m . i h hi . .
inent buildings are outlined in elcctrio
bulbs, furnishing at night a most mag
nificent illumination.
It is estimated that there will be be
tween 700,000 and 800.000 people H San
Francisco on the day that the fleet ar
rives. The suburban cities adjacent to
the bay and towns within a radius of
50 miles will practically be depopulated,
and will contribute 200,000, while the rail
road companies estimate that they will
bring at least 150,000 from points beyond
as far east as Omaha and from British
Columbia on the north, to the interna
tional boundary on the south. The South
ern Pacific Company has placed 250 ex
tra cars and sleepers in commission in
addition to their regular equipment.
Twenty special trains from California
points and the Pacific Coast states are
scheduled. Three extra trains are re
ported out of Portland by the Southern
Pacific and all trains north, east and
south are running in two and three sec
tions. Practically all reservations in the big
hotels are taken. The Fairmount stopped
making reservations more than a month
ago. While the hotels are rapidly filling
up the fleet reception committee headed
by ex-Mayor James D. Phelan gives as
surance that there will be ample accom
modations. More than 50,000 rooms in
San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland
have been listed with the committee
which has established an Information
bureau at the Ferry building.
On Wednesday forenoon from the
vantage point of hill and steamer will
be seen the most Imposing and spec
tacular parade In modern naval history.
In which a total of 49 warships will en
ter through the Golden Gate in single
line formation, and drop anchor midst
the roar of 12-inch guns, the shouts of
three-quarters of a million people and
the shrieks of steam whistles.
Wednesday evening the first formal
reception, followed by a ball, given in
honor of Secretary Metcalf and the of
ficers of the fleet, will take place at the
Fairmount, and on Thursday evening. In
the name of the Governor of the atate
to Secretary Mjtcalt, the seven Admirals
and the commanding officers of the fleet.
Six hundred guests, among thern Gov
ernors from seven states and the Con
sular representatives of other nations,
will sit down in the elaborately decorated
banquet-room.
On Friday evening the citizens of San
Francisco will banquet Secretary Met
calf and 300 officers of the fleet at the
St. Francis. This will be the official
banquet, given in the nam? of the city,
and it Is hoped that Admiral Evans will
. be present. The banquet will be fol
lowed by a ball at the Fairmount. given
t by the FYidajt Night Club, the exclusive
nodal club composed of San Francisco's
"WOl" a M. Greenway, manager of
the club and one of the most prominent
social leaders In the city, will be mas
ter of ceremonies. This ball will be the
most exclusive and brilliant social func
tion of the festivities. Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf and Mrs. Metcalf, the
Admirals and principal officers of the
fleet have accepted invitations, which are
limited to 600.

day at Santa Crnz.
SANTA. CRUZ, Cal., May 3. The
visit of bluejackets to the big trees
was a feature of the Sunday pro
gramme at Santa Cruz for the enter
tainment of the Atlantio fleet. More
than 3000 sailors came ashore during
the morning and boarded special trains
for the grove, six miles distant. Hun
dreds of civilians also took advantage
of the opportunity to visit the park
and the grounds were thronged with
visitors all day. Bluejackets were car
ried free on the train.
Rear-Admiral Thomas spent all day
aboard the flagship Connecticut going
over his private business and matters
connected with the fleet whieh. In the
rush of entertainment had been neg
lected. He sent a telegram to Admiral
Evans recommending that the Con
necticut be sent to Monterey arly
Tuesday morning for the purpose of
bringing the Admiral here to join the
fleet. This is on account of the rough
water off the local port, which has
made landing very difficult.
. Albany Going to See the Fleet.
ALBANY, Or., May 3. Special.) Al
bany will probably observe a holiday on
the day the battleship fleet stops at Ya
quina Bay.' Plana are already being
formed to have all local business houses
close on that occasion and the schools
may also grant a holiday. Excursions
will be run from Albany to Newport and
the day will be a red-letter occasion on
Yaquina Bay.
11,1 IS GI1C TROUBLE
BRITISH TROOPS IX CLASH
WITH AFGHAN FORCE.
Tribesmen Repulsed, but Further
Attacks Are Feared Plot to Mur
der Europeans Is Discovered.
LONDON, May 3. India is a source
of considerable uneasiness to the
British government at the present mo
ment. The difficulties with the Mo
hammedans seemed on the eve of set
ment when on Saturday, according to
reports received here, a new danger
threatened. An attpmnt wn n mnrlA hv
n lnrirn A fffha n fnroo niimha.lna. t m ty I
13.000 to 20,300, which went across the
border, divided into two bodies, to
seize the blockhouse at Khyber Pass
near Landi Ksol. The attack was re
pulsed with trifling casualties among
the British, but the Afghans remained
in front of Landi Ksol and another
body is reported to be moving Into the
Bazar Valley by way of Llsote Pass.
General Wilcox, who is in command :
of the forces recently dispatched to
quell the troubles, has gone to Jamrad,
a few miles west of Peshawur, at the
entrance of Kryber Pass, and is hasten
ing forward his troops to meet the
ev development.
All frontier telegrams are carefully
censored at Simla. From Calcutta
comes news of the discovery of a plot
to murder Europeans by means of
bombs. The conspiracy appears to be
of an extensive character and many
arrests have been made. The responsi
bility for the plot is placed on the
natives, a number of incriminating
documents having been seized, together
with a supply of bombs and other ex
plosives. The discovery of the plot was made
through the arrest and conression of
the author of the bomb outrage at
Almocufferpur, the capital of the prov
ince of the same name in Bengal, In
which two Europeans were killed.
The morning papers, referring to the
Indian news, generally concur th.it
there is no cause for alarm or for grave
anxiety if, as is hoped, tne Ameer is
not directly responsible for the atti
tude of the Afghan border tribes, but
they point out that, until the Ameer's
attitude Is definitely Known, it be
hooves the government to be alert and
prepared for eventualities.
PEOPLE WITH GOVERNOR
(Continued From First Page.)
"error" in the telegram. The high
minded Mr. Fassett, fearing that Cas
sidy might listen to the siren song of
the lobby, wired urging him to stand
by the Governor, and some low-minded
telegraph operator inserted the word
"not," thereby making a complete
change in Cassidy's "orders."
Of course the Western Union has
fired the offending operator. Fassett
says the reason he had not made a
statement before was because it was
Senator Cassidy's affair. Naturally,
the fact that Fassett is seeking re
election this Fall has nothing, to do
with it in the opinion of his friends,
but certain curious people are asking
why Fassett has not "made gdod" with
Governor Hughes by prosecuting the
telegraph operator.
The Governor has made no comment
on this remarkable occurrence, but he
will be heard in Senator Cassidy's dis
trict. It Is now believed that the vic
tim of the "forged telegram" will find
it advisable to get In line at the spe
cial session.
Some of the more enthusiastic foes
of the race tracks believe that with
Cassidy's vote the anti-gambling bills
will be passed, but the experienced
Hughes men are skeptical and will con
tinue so until the votes are counted.
Under the state constitution It re
quires a clear majority of the entire
membership, not a majority of a
quorum, to pass a bill. This means
that until the reform bills receive the
votes of 76 of the 15J Assemblymen,
and 26 of the 51 Senators they cannot
become laws.
When the fight came up last month,
25 Senators voted for the anti-racetrack
gambling bills, and 25 voted
against them. The fifty-first seat was
vacant, owing to the sudden death of
Senator Franchot, of Niagara. The en
thusiastic Hughes men figure that they
will hold the 25 men they had in April,
together with the man elected in
Franchot's place and Senator Cassidy,
a total of 27. Besides this, they hope
that the Governor's personal crusade
will drive several other bolters back
into line.
But at the time the original ballot
was taken, experienced men at Albany
expressed the opinion that the race
track forces did not bring up all their
reserves, and that they had several
votes "under cover" to be used if
necessary.
The fact must not be lost sight of that
the friends of the racetrack can accom
plish just as much by absenting them
selves from the special session as they
could by attending and voting against the
measures that are favored by Governor
Hughes. On the other hand the reform
bills need 26 votes, and only by personal
attendance of Senators at Albany can
they be secured. It is a bad season for
colds just now and State Senators are
delicate bits of organism. Nobody would
be surprised If several of the Governor's
allies developed pneumonia or house
maid's knee, or some other complaint
Some drug stores sell some things
at cut rates some of the time,
others some thing at cut rates all
of the time, but the "OWL" Drug
store sells ALL drugs ml cut rates
ALL of the time.

that would keep them away from Albany
on and after May 11.
Besides this, a good proportion of the
Legislature are indignant that a special
session should be called. Assemblymen
and Senators receive an annual stipend
of i500. All they will get out of this
extra attendance Is traveling expenses,
and naturally that Is a trifling matter. So
scores of them went away from Albany,
jeering at Hughes and declaring that he
would be compelled to hold his "extra
matinee" without their much-to-be-de-slred
presence.
The fact that may cause them to
change their minds, however, is that all
of them are anxious to "come back" next
year. And the people throughout the
state are beginning to exhibit a marked
degree of interest in 'what their Albany
Representatives have done and also what
they failed to do. The general opinion
is that they will deeply resent any ab
senteeism, and the fact that pay is shut
off will not operate as an excuse.
Futhermore, all cases of illness are
bound to be investigated and the investi
gations will not be whitewashing affairs
at that.
"You want a certificate from a reliable
physician, one who can bo believed by
the general public." was the warning
given to one New York City Senator who
had freely predicted that he would not
be In Albany again this Spring. "Stay at
home now and you will stay away for
the rest of your natural life."
Despite this the racetrack forces are
calmly confident. They are convinced
that they have the situation well in hand
and are in a position to administer an
other crushing defeat to Hughes.
- But they do not like the Governor's
conduct in dashing about the state de
livering speeches to throngs of interested
voters. Tttey say It is not dignified.
But the Governor keeps righ,t' ahead
and will continue to do so until the
Legislature meets.
He believes he is making headway and
that the Legislature will be forced, re
gardless of the feelings of certain mem
bers, to' respond to the voice of the
people.
GOMPERS ADVISES LABOR
Says Political Independence Mast Be
Asserted.
CHICAGO, March S. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, addressed 1500 men and women in
a mass meeting today, exhorting his hear
ers to cast off the yoke o party domina
tion and to assert their political inde
pendence. He declared the intention of
the labor party to seek the defeat of any
candidate for public office who is not tn
sympathy with the aims of laboring men,
not excepting aspirants to the "highest
office In the land."
The Sherman anti-trust law must be
amended, he declared, and referring to
the Wilson bill, he said that if it was not
passrd it would be the fault of the work
lngmen. John Mitch. '11, ex-president of
the United Mineworkers, who presided,
said that if one-sixth of the workers
voted independently of party Influences i
tne progressive legislation which labor
demands would be enacted.
