EXPERIMENT.
Putting Warships in Condition for Im
mediate Service.
Washington,
June 9.—Secretary
Long has issued an order for an experi
ment of the utmost importance to the
navy. The purpose is to see how much
time would be occupied in putting into
condition for active naval service a part
of the United States fleet to meet an
emergency.
The vessels selected for the experi j
ment are the battle-ships Indiana and
Massachusetts, now laid up in ordinary
at League Island, with a skeleton
organization of officers and mon aboard.
Captain Dickens commands the Indiana
and has six olticeis and about 150 men
under him.
The Massachusetts is
under command of Captain Train, with
four officers and about 150 sailors.
Orders have been telegraphed Admiral
Casey, the commandant of the League
Island yard, and the two captains
above named, to put the ships into con
dition for immediate service, to last at
least 60 days. No notice has been pre
viously given of the department’s in
tention. By the terms of the order the
ships must clear League island inside
of three days. The officers who have
projected the experiment hope to do
better than that.
The ships each have about 650 tons
of coal aboard, but must be supplied
with food, mapH, bedding, ammuni
tion, etc. The hardest question to deal
within the present straits of the navy |
is that of personnel.
Officers were,
wired at once, and it was necessary to
rob some of the bureaus of the navy
department of much-needed assistance.
The officer most lemote from League I
Island Is Lieutenant Wilson, at Bos
ton, so that nil of them should be
aboard ship by tomorrow night.
The Hartford’s crew, now at Norfolk, |
has been ordered to leave tonight for
League island, and from her numerous
crew the complements of the Indiana
and the Massachusetts will be brought
to the standard. About 300 men and
12 officers will be required for each
battleship,
CYCLONE
OF
FIRE.
Town on the Meaalia Iron Range Wiped
Out.
Duluth, Minn., June 9 —The entire
business and most of the residence sec
tion of the town of Virginia, on the
Mesaba Iron range, was wiped out of
existence today about noon, and it ouly
took 60 minutes to do it. In that time
fully 165 buildings were reduced to
ashes.
Telegraphic communication
was cut off very soon after the first
news of the fire came, and was not ie-
sumed until this evening.
The news tonight indicates that it
was a veritable cyclone of fire.
The
entire country around is parched an4
ready to burn. The flames broke out
at the Moon & Kerr mill, on the shoie
of Silver lake, southwest of the town.
The main business section of the city is
about five blocks from the mill, and
over this intervening territory the
flames spread fiercely, carried directly
to the business buildings by a fierce
southwest wind. Within an hour it
had carried everything between the
mill and the railroad station, eight
blocks away.
The path of the flames was as clean
cut as that of a cyclone. The territory
over which the fire traveled covered
about 12 blocks, about nine of which
were thickly built up. Tonight there
is not a business house, hotel or store
standing in Virginia.
The residence

¡turned. The school house is untouched,

loss is estimated at $500,000.
