DEFENSE OP PORTO RICO,"
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-A special to
tho Herald from Washington says:
nrlgadler Qeneral Wilson, chief of
engineers, will submit to congress a
comprehensive scheme for tho defense
of Porto Rico, Reports of the neces.
sary fortifications have been mndo to
Qeneral Wilson by engineer officers
sent to tho Island. It Is said tho cost
of the project is small, tho defenses
constructed by the Spaniards bclna
utilized Irf part. Tho preparation of
plans of the fortification of Hawaii
Is Mopped, because of tho failure of
tho navy department to decide regard
Ing tho cstabllshement of a naval sta
tion at Pearl harbor. Land Is held at
fancy prices and the department does
not Intend to pay more than It Is
really worth. Until the navy depart
ment acts, nothing will be done In
the way of fortifications. It Is un
derstood that Captain Leary at Gaum
Will report upon fortifications for the
Island.
Nothing will be done looklna- toward
fortifying (he Philippines until the In
surrection has been subdued.
WAR PROSPECTS TIGHTENS
LONDON MONEY MARKET
Rates Growing Smallor and Specula
tive Account! Are Reduced to
the ICrtremo.
NEW YORK, Sopt. 18.-The Tlmei
London financial correspondent cables:
"Our money market anxiously be
gins to reckon up war risks. All last
week we wer hoping against hope
that peace might be maintained. As
I write, , that hope has almost been
abandoned and rates for money ure
therefore tightening, wholly Irrespec
tive of business demands. These In
deed are very moderate for the home
account.
"Indeed, most bankers had loana re
paid because speculative accounts has
been much reduced through dread of
war. Hut cheapness of this kind
means nothing mora than a desire to
keep credits at the elbow, so to any,
Tested by cosh gold held In our
banks, we are In no position to stand
the presure for one day. Including
their balances at tho Hank of England
they probably do not hold six per cent
of their liabilities to depositors In
gold, but It Is Just their capacity to
pay gold that may soon be put to
proof.
"The Transvaal Is the principal
source of our gold supplyalmost the
only present source, but the Indian
government purposes to buy the out
put of the mines and the Australian
production Is taken partly by the
United States. War In South Africa
WLJld not only stop supplies from the
Rand mines for a time, but subject the
Bank of England to the drain of sov
ereigns for the Cape.
"In their nnxelty, they ore already
discussing the probabllltes of New York
taking gold from there this autumn,
and an advance In your rates for
money Is not calculated to allay these
fears. Our position Is much weaker
In face of this contingency than It
wjis a year ago. Then we had abund
ance, of your securities for which mar
ket could be found on the continent as
well as in America; now we have only
a few. The story that all danger of
f imlne In India has been averted Is
untrue. Rain came too lute to save
principal crops.
ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION.
Twenty-fifth Annual. Convention Meets
at Detroit.
DETROIT, Sept. 18. Sovereign
grand officers, grand lodge and grand
encampment officials and various other
functionaries of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows walked in a drenching
rain from headquarters In the Cadll-
luc hotel to the Detroit opera house,
where the seventy-lift Annual session
of the order met today. Mayor Slay-
bury welcomed the visitors on behalf
of the city and state. Hon. Alfred S.
Ptnkerton, grand Hire, responded to
the welcome, after which the first bus
iness session was held.
In his annual report Plnkerton states
that on December SI, 1898, the subor
dinate lodge membership was 830,961,
and. hat the number of sisters enrolled
In the Rebekah lodges numbered 190,-
007. He reported the affairs of the
brotherhood were generally In a pros
perous condition.
Secretary Grant's report was very
voluminous and reported an encourag
ing Increase for the year.
Many resolutions were offered. The
moat Important one was Introduced
by Representative Young of Maryland,
and' Is aimed at mileage paid represn-
tatlvea to the sovereign grand lodges.
At present 10 cents per mile Is. allowed
delegates living east of the Rocky
mountains and 12 cents west. It orders
the figures reduced to 8 and 10 cents
respectively.
A resolution Is pending from last
year's meeting reducing the mileage to
7 and S cents. Both these were refer
red to a special committee with the
request to report as soon as possible.
That the mileage allowance will be re
duoed Is believed as certain, aa a cut
must be made In the expense and dele
gates are almost a unit In favoring
this as a proper place.
A resolution ordering the abolishing
of "visiting cards" Is now necessary to
enable a member of one lodge to visit
another. It Ib proposed Instead to make
a receipt for dues sufficient.
The matter of admitting negroes 1o
the 4. O. O. F. Is expected to come up
at this session, as It has done for a
number of years.
Secretary Grant's report showed re
lief expenditures to bo I3.422.9S6. The
total expenses of subordinate lodges
figures 84,159,726. The revenuo of sub
ordinate lodges amounted to $7,752,282;
subordinate encampments, $570,762; re
bekah lodges, $443,348; total 8,766,393.
Th total Invested funds aggregate
17,180,241.
FIRE AT LOS ANGELES.
Wholo Block Nearly Wiped Out and
Two Fremen Fatally Injured.
LOH ANGELES, Sopt, 18,-Procllc
ally the entire block, bounded by
Commercial, Alemeda, Rcquena and
Wilmington streets, was destroyed by
fire today. Three men were Injured In
the fire, two of them probably fatul
ly.'
They are George Nolund, assistant
engineer, fatally burned; Jus. M. Die
ter, engineer, seriously burned; II. IS
Tcbbctts, "overcome by heat.
The fire originated In the engine
room of the Perry Mill and Lumber
Company. A spark from the engine
fell into a pile of shavings and Im
mediately the whole place was In a
blaze. In the struggle to put it out,
Jus. Knowlton and James Dieter re
ceived their Injuries.
The Loi Angeles Farming and Mill
ing Company had stock on hand val
ued at $120,000, which was practically
a total loss; the Insurance was near
ly 1100.009
The Perry Lumber and Milling Com
pany carried a stock valued at $125.
000, Including a large number of val
uable patterns which It will be difficult
to replace. They1 carried only $125,00 In
surance. HOWBIN TO SUCCEED SAMPSON.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-A special to
the Horald from Washington, says:
According to oflllclals more concern
Is being displayed by the newspapers
over the ponslble supersedure of Ad
miral Sampson at New York by
Admiral Hwlson than In naval cir
cles. They say no such supersedure
will take place, because the Chicago
will not reach New York In advance
of Admiral Dewey. This confidence
Is not based on Instructions given to
Admiral Howlson, but rather upon
their understanding of the matter.
The Chlcngo's Itinerary ordered her
to remain at Hurbudoes five days, fco
that the vessel will not sail until
September 22, unless she should be
hurried. Sailing on that date would
permit her arrival at New York on
the 2Sth, but It Is believed that Ad
miral I low Ism will proceed north
leisurely and arrive at his destination
In October. Immediately upon the
arrival of the ship, Howlson Is to be
detached and ordered home to await
retirement and as this Is his last
cruise, he will probably want fo re
main at sea ns long as possible. Even
adml'tlng that he will arrive at New
Yurk on September 28, It la expected
that while he may be senior to Ad
miral Sampson, he will be Junior to
Admiral Dewey, he will assume com
mand of all the vessels within signal
distance.
GENERAL ALGER WITHDRAWS.
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 18.-Oeneral
R. A. Alger today gave out a letter
written by himself In New York Sep
tember 8, In which he announces his
withdrawal from the candidacy for
United States senator. The letter
says:
"After careful consideration, I have
decided not to be a e&ndldate for the
United States senate. My reasons for

of a business nature. I fully apprec
iate .'and thank you and my many
other friends who offered support, and
hope to be able In future to show my

for me me by tho people of our state."
