a NAVAL RESERVE.
Secretary Whitney Points Out the
Importance of the Plan.


Importance of the Plan.
In a letter written To the Naval Reserve
Sub Committee Of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs, Secretary Whitney has de-
clared himself earnestly in favor of the estab-
hshment OF a naval reserve. The necessity for
the maintenance of a naval reserve, the
Secretary says, Is universally reco2 mi ed
at the present day. No nation main
tains a standing army and navy adequate 70

upon the preparation previously made for
expanding quickly from a peace to a war

OF men supporting themselves by ordi-
nary civil pursuits Is enrolled and maintained
by the Government sufficiently for its pur-
pose in the event of war at comparatively
small expense. England, he says, maintains,
with an annual expenditure OF less than 81,
10000. AN auxiliary naval force twice as large
as the entire American navy. The suggcs-
ton that naval reserve should be established,
the Secretary continues has awakened the
greatest interest in all parts OF the country.
He concludes his letter by saying:
I'm the judgment Of the department it is
both necessary and economical that the Gov
eminent should have in reserve feet of
auxiliary merchant ships, previously pre-
pared with the necessary fittings for in
slant conversion into cruisers, which would

A CARELESS STRIKER.

CHICAGO, APRIL 1L-James O'Brien,
press representative of the striking en-
gineerS, called on Coroner Hertz and chief
of detectives, Henshaw, this afternoon
regarding the published reports of the
killing and manning of men on the
Burlington road and concealment of facts
by the company. The strikers claim half
dozen employees have been killed on the
20" since the strike began. Investigation
will be made.
General passenger agent, Morton, denies
the yacts are as stated. He says there has
been two fatal accidents since
the strike. He does not deny
that several men have been injured
but says the accident was due to ordinary
causes TO which train men are subjected
and not to incompetency on the part of
any employees.
John Davidson, an eX-fireman of the
Burlington road, was held in the criminal
court today in bonds of $500 for malicious

FLOODS IN MINNESOTA.
Bridges Gone and Dams Swept Away
Much Suffering Reported.

ST, PAUL, Mimi, April 11.-From Man
kato it is reported that the Minnesota
river is rapidly subsiding. The Zumbra
ota river is rising. The dam at Holbert's
mill went out yesterday afternoon taking
the flume with it and let one corner of the
mill down few inches, making loss of
about S15, 200. The bridges opposite the
town on the turnpike have gone out. The
water at Zumbraota falls is flooding the
town and is four feet deep in many houses.
Communication by wire or rail is
entirely cut Off between Zumbraota
and Wabasha. A good part Of the
forty miles of track on the Wabash divi
sion will have to be rebuilt. The dam at
Oronoco went out yesterday afternoon.
The Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers are up
to the eight foot mark and still rising.
About 100000 feet of lumbrr, worth at
least $4,000, the property of the Mississippi
Valley Logging company were swept away
at Eau Claire this morning.
Hastings reports that the water in the
Nermillion river is higher than ever known
before, taking out over half dozen
bridges. No trains have arrived at La
Crosse from the west over the Milwaukee
road since Thursday, because several miles
of the track are under the water IN the
valley Of the Root river. 1t will take ten
days to get the track into condition after
the water subsidies. The bridges are all
gone, villages inundated and there is much
distress at some points.
