JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 25.-The mayor of
Gainesville a notified the mayor Of
Jacksonville that he wants 5000 or
$40, 900 for relief purposes. The authors
ties here replied that Gainesville can
draw for 81, 900. About 81, 400 has been
sent there heretofore. The trouble
grows out of the fact that when Mayor
Hewitt ~telegraphed asking that New
York contributions should be distributed
from Jacksonville, a conference was pro-
posed, but Gainesville rejected the pro-
posai, considering it a reflection upon
her own authorities. Gainesville goes
so far as to allege thLt funds sent to
Jacksonville for the express benefit of
Gainesville have been withheld. This is
denied, and it is claimed here that in re-
jecting the proposal for a conference
Gainesville lost all voice in the manage
ment OF the fund.

To Avoid Collision. as Sc


PRECAUTIONS WHICH WOULD HAVE AvERTKD THE
GEISER DISASTER.
The pilot chart Of the North Atlantic, issued by
the photographic ONCE for the month of Septem-
Der, dwells at length on the subject Of collisions
at seq, and says that the chart for December,
1887, emphasized the importance Of some general
understanding as to the routes to be followed by
eastward and westward bound vessels. The plan
then inaugurated has been generally adhered TO
since then one track being plotted as the southern
limit for westward bound vessels, and another as
the northern limit for eastward bound vessels.
The recent disaster would not have occurred had
the GeiSer been farther to the southwark, as rec
commended for east-bound vessels and the collt-
sion thus emphasizes the importance of this mat
ter, not only 10 owners, agents. masters, and ma
rine underwriters, but to the public generally.
Referring to the International marine congress
to be held at Washington In April, to secure
greater safety for LIE and property at sea, the
chart says: 'The Importance OF this subject is so
great, and the need for concerted International
action so pressing, that fun attendance Of dele
gates Is confidently expected"

Secretary EndicOtt's New Office.
he DOES NOT SEEN EAGER TO CHANGE HIS PRESENT
QUARTERS.
Secretary Endicott's new of1ces In the west wing
Of the War Department building are being pre-
pared for him. A new suite of mahogany furniture
has recently been obtained for his room. The
pieces are somewhat plain In design, devoid Of
carving, but luxurious in their size and f1nish
They were made In Boston from designs suggest
ed, 1t is said, by the esthetic taste OF Mrs.
Endicott. The chairs are broad and wonder.
fully soft, with wide arms and spindle backs,
and the desk is broad and smooth, and In
considerable contrast to that In the present Of
fee, which is deeply carved with an ornate
design, and very imposing In its massiveness. The
delay of the Secretary In getting into his new
quarters has caused some suspicion through the
department that he Is not anxious to change.
The new rooms have been 1ntolerably hot this
summer. and the odors given out by the painting
and gliding on the walls and ceiling have made
the atmosphere dsagreeable and even dangerous.
Ad1utant-General Drum, who moved into his new
room as soon as 1t was completed, has been poi
soned, he thinks, by these exhalations and has
been compelled to abandon his duties two or three
times In order TO prevent his system being affected
Is also limited that his taste has been Jared by
the lavish decorations on the walls The lower
part of the room is steady glow OF deep coloring
while the ceiling is OF light tone, covered with
an allegorcal design. There are other and more
practical reasons for his desire to remain where he
Is, however. One OF these Is that his present
quarters are much more advantageously located.
