THE NEW CRUISER PHILADELPHIA.
The Launching Yesterday Of Steel I'm
armored Ship Of 1924 Tons.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September THE
new steel cruiser Philadelphia was launched
at Cromps ship yards, this city, at 11:42
this morning. The Philadelphia will be
the fifth vessel of that name in the navy.
The first two were primitive crafts and
served in the revolution until sunk
in battle. Then the third, the
most celebrated of the name, was
constructed in 1893 and was frigate of
1,240 tons, fitted out with thirty-six guns
and carrying three thousand men. In 1880
she was wrecked off Tripoli and her COM
Inander and crew taken prisoners. After
she had been fitted out by the enemy she
was recaptured by Capt. Decatur and
burned. The fourth Philadelphia was OBJ
tanned from the merchant service for the
navy and served through the civil war.
The new vessel is officially reconed as
cruiser No. and is the fourth in
size of the unarmored cruisers provided for
the new navy. Unlike the vessels already
constructed, her official test will not be
rated according to horse power, but fixed
speed.
The contract stipulates speed of nine
teen knots an hour, and unless this is
reached large deductions will be made in
the contract price. The cruisers length is
315 feet; beam, 48h feet; draught, 19H
feet, and displacement a, 1924 tons.

THE COAL NINE DISASTER.
Eleven Persons Killed in the Accident Near
Golden's Colliery, Colorado.

uOiucH OOllitFy, OOlOfHuO.
DENVER, COL, September TO- Specia
couriers sent out from here last night tC
the scene of the coal mine disaster neal
Golden's colliery returned to this city at .
o'clock this morning with the news thai
the number killed was eleven instead Of
ten. The following are their names:
John Murphy, single.
VIM. Collins, married, leaves wife and
four children.
Jack Collins, married, leaves wife and
four children.
Joseph Allen, married, one child.
Joseph Hutler, married, has four
children.
VIM. Bowen, married.
David L. Lloyd. single.
John Morgan, single.
Henry Huseman, leaves wife and five
children.
Richard Rowe and one other mani whose
name has not yet been learned.
The mine is situated one mile from
Golden. Those who lost their lives were at
work in the drift from the bottom of the
shaft 100 feet down and were 800 feet from
the shaft. There is not the slightest hope
of rescuing any of the eleven men alive and
it will require days, If not weeks, of hard
work to reach their bodies. Around
the entrance of the mine are
huddled together the widows and orphans
of the victims. Occasionally one of them
ventures nearer the mine and peers down in
to the shaft upon the cruel waters that have
taken their beloved ones from them. One
glance is sufficient TO satisfy them that
there is no hope of ever seeing them alive
again. However, mothers continue their
progress while their children keep moving
about to keep warm, as the air coming
down from the mountains is very chilly at
this season.

Samuel S. Cox.

New YORK. September 1O.-Drs. Wyn-
koop and Scudder held an informal consul
tation this morning between 9 and 10 o'clock
with regard to the condition Of Mr.. Cox.
The result was they found their patient in
lower condition than yesterday. Mean
while, physicians say there is no reason
why Mr.. Cox should grow any worse dur
ing the day unless there is return of the
attack of heart failure, which the physi-
clans do not anticipate, but they say Mr..
Cox's condition is a precarious
one. 1t has been determined that at no
time during the day will he be without a
physician at his bedside. DIR. Lockwood
will remain in charge until noon, at which
hour DIR. Scudder will assume care of the
sick chamber.
Later-Congressman Cox died at $40
this evening.

SULLIVAN UP FOR CONGRESS.
The Slugger Announces Himself to Represent
Boston on the Democratic Ticket.

Boston on the Democratic Ticket.
New YORK, September THE Sun this
afternoon publishes a letter from John l..
Sullivan in which he announces his inten-
ton of running for congress on the demo-
cratic ticket. 1t is his ambition to repre-
sent the Boston district, and he states that
with such high ambition he trusts he will
in future make his life what it ought to be.
In his letter he says that any man who
doubts his popularity with the American
people has only got to travel about with
him and get rid of his doubts. Sullivan
does not doubt his qualifications, as he says
in the conclusion ofhis letter to the Sun:
SIN my travels about the country and Eu-
rope have had much experience in public
speaking as most people, will have no
trouble about getting hearing in congress
or in making people pay attention to what
say. A man who can quiet a crowd in
Madison square garden as | have done, can
make his presence felt in congress or any
where else on earth. | therefore announce
my willingness to enter political life. This
communication was drawn in consultation
with friends and with their advice is the
longest that ever have addressed to any
paper. l shall be obliged to you if you will
print it. Yours truly,
JOHN L. SULLIVAN,
Champion of the World.

VARIOUS ITEMS.
CITY OF MEXICO, September TO- The
govern ment has authorized the establish
ment of a bank at Merida, Yucatan, with
provision to discount and receive deposits
and issue notes for circulation.
An explosion occurred at the fire works
factory yesterday, by which two men were
dangerously wounded and may die.
Sixty Irish families have bought land in
Huasteca Potosi.
The authorities of chihuahua are perse-
cutting the press.
Serious electoral difficulties are feared in

tides and storm waves which have done
such great damage along the coast.
In this city cellars and the first floors of
buildings along the water front are all
flooded this morning, but ferry boats have
difficulty in getting into their slips. Re-
ports of great damages done by the storm
at high tide last night along the coast are
coming in, and as the tide this morning
was higher than last night, it was evident
an enormous amount of property had been
destroyed along the New Jersey coast. The
low beaches were submerged and the rail-
road tracks injured. Thousands of specta-
tors watched the surf which was the wild
est and highest known in years.
Atlantic City was completely cut off from
the mainland. Much of the board walk
and many bathing houses have been
ground into kindling wood. Several pavil-
ions were lifted bodily from their pl.lngs
and DESTROYED Reports from Coney Island
show the storm was the worst ever known.
All night long the waves dashed over the
breakwater at Manhattan and Brighton
Beach with tremendous roar. The ma
rine railway between the places was en-
tirely swept away. This morning not a
vestige is left of the esplanade in front OF
the Manhattan hotel, and the tide flows in
and out of the basement of the building.
Communication between the east and
west ends is rendered impossible. In this
city some of the piers were entirely covered
by the tide, and some that are usually
twelve feet above high-water mark have
their decks licked by the angry waves.
The bay and river are in an exceedingly
turbulent state, owing to high winds.
Ferry boats and the general fotilla were
tossed about like playthings and white caps
were visible as far as the eye could reach
The Jersey shore was inundated in many
places particularly in the vicinity Of the
Standard Oil company's works at Clare
mont.
On the East river front buildings from
Fiftieth street to Fourteenth street are
flooded in the great rise of the water. The
rocks opposite Fiftieth street, which has
heretofore always been visible in extreme
high tides is now beneath the water and
the spindle buoy on Pilgrim rock at Nine
teenth street has for the first time been
almost covered. The lower end of Black
we'll Island is submerged and the keepers
were engaged early this morning removing
patients from the frame out-buildings In
that portion of the island.
The flood was discussed by all sea-farlng
men with considerable interest this morn
ing, and it created the general impression
that the tide exceeded any that we have
had in twenty-five years.

THE COTTON CROP.
Condition Of the Plant as Affected by Moist
ure and Drouth in Various Sections.

ure and Dr0uth In various Sections.
WASHINGTON, September 10.-The cotton
report of the statitician of the department
of agriculture for September represents the
crop as comparatively late. Too abundant
moisture is generally reported, producing
rank weed and retarding the development
of the bolls. Rust has appeared quite gen.
orally on sandy uplands. The grey soils of
the Atlantic coast show most rust. Red
lands and heavy soils have been less affect
ed or entirely exempt. Drouth has not
been reported except in the light
pine lands of Mississippi, similar soils
in Louisiana and in considerable
part of Texas. In these districts there was
abundant moisture till June or July. There
has been considerable dropping of forms
and of young bolls in areas most affected
by the extremes of moisture and tempera-
ture. The plants are still growing and
blooming in most locations, though in light
soils the bolls are small and not developing
rapidly.
The gulf average of conditions is 86.6,
against 1913 last month and 1873 in Septem-
Der Of last year.
State averages are as follows: Virginia,
81; North Carolina, 70; South Carolina, 81:
Georgia, 80; Florida "a; Alabama, 81; Mis-
sissippi, SO; Louisiana, 81; Texas, 81; Ar
kansas, 80; Tennessee, "a.
The presence ofthe caterpillar and boil
worm Is reported in all the Gulf states and
Arkansas. The first brood of the former
has vebbed up, and preparations are gen.
orally made for vigorous use of Paris
greenland London purple which have been
veryt effective with the first generation.
The damage has been slight east of the
Mississippi and not generally serious
further west with few exceptions. Cor
recognize the largest value in
the present crop of the factors of good
autumn weather and late killing frosts in
determining the aggregate of production.

A Hair-Breadth Escape from the Sweeping
Flames-L0ss of Life.
CHICAGO, September 10.-A dispatch from
Helena, Mont, says: Information has
just been received here of one of the most
destructive forest fires yet reported in Mon
tana. The fire occurred Sunday night in
the st. Regis district of Missoula county,
and the Cokeley ranch was made barren
waste in less than thirty minutes. Cokeley
and Hostess, of the ranch mounted horses
and barely escaped with their lives to the
river, less than quarter of mile away
and reached the water after having their
clothes nearly all burned from their bodies.
They remained in the water over two hours
and even there the heat and smoke were
almost suffocating.
A Swedish prospector named Anderson
tied his horse in the gulch about half q
mile from the Cokely ranch, and went up
the hillside to visit him. Both horse and
man perished in the flames. J.C. Vaider,
who has returned from st. Regis county
says he feels certain several men perished
in the flames higher up the mountains.
