of Alexander Sullivan is being constantly
watchedlby detective who has special facil-
tiles for communicating with the Chicago
Avenue Police Station. which is only few
blocks distant. This espionage has been or
dered because Chief Hubbard has reliable ad-
vices that concerted attack upon the resi-
dence in question, after the style of wild
Western methods, might be made at any
time. That the element in sympathy with
the policy of the murdered physician is more
than ever determined that his taking off
shall be avenged was demonstrated by the
immense turnout at Battery ID Saturday
night, at which the speeches delivered were
more personal and bitterly denunciatory of
the triangle than ever before.
There is no denying the fact that as the
trial approaches its conclusion the feeling on
both sides increases in intensity, and should
its outcome be unfavorable to the prosecu-
tion this feeling might manifest itself in a
serious form. The authorities, believing in
the supremacy of the law, have evidently
thought 1t well to take early precautions
against any attempt on the part Of the mass
es to take the law into their own hands.
The eight speeches will begin Friday af
ternoon, after the defense has examined its
one or two witnesses, and it is hoped a
verdict will be rendered by Saturday week.

CRASH ON the RAIL.
A Fire Special Runs Into a Local on
the Boston and Maine.

BOSTON, Mass, November 2S.-When the
kilograms from this city to the surrounding
cities and towns were sent out one of the
quickest to respond was the city of Law
renee, and the brave fire laddies, who were
bound for this city on their errand of mercy
had very narrow escape from very seri-
GUS accident, as did the passengers in the
local which leaves Wyoming station at IL .13
o'clock. As it was there was one lady seri-
ously hurt, two of the Lawrence firemen
slightly injured, and the passengers in the
rear car of the local train shaken mn and
more or less bruised by the colliding Of the
two trains.
Between the Melrose and Wyoming sta
tions on the Boston & Maine railroad is a
sharp curve. and while the local was hauled
up beside the platform at the Wyoming sta
tion the special came laundering around the
curve. The atmosphere was quite misty
from thick falling rain, and the approach
ing train was not seen until 1t was close upon
the local. The engineer of the special let off
blast after blast from his whistle, and just
before the trains came together the local
pulled ahead about 25 feet.
The platform had been covered with w0m-

MORE WAR SHIPS.
What Secretary Tracy viii Ask Of the
Next Congress.

Next congress.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-Secretary
Tracy is preparing statement for presenta.
tion to the next Congress, which is sure to
have very great influence in adding to the
strength and efficiency of the new navy. 1t
is understood that he will recommend the
construction of at least four, If not more,
war ships about the size of the Texas or
Maine now on the ways, dynamite cruiser
or two similar to the wonderful Vesuvius,
and number of torpedo boats. 1t is also
expected that ne will ask that provision be
made for the addition of at least three or
four thousand seamen to the force already
available.
1t is the Secretary's aim to make his term
at the head of the Navy Department an
epoch in the history OF war ship building.
At its termination he hopes to see splendid
fleet afioat which shall defiantly carry the
Stars and Stripes into every port on the
globe.
Tracy will recommend that it be Increased
to at least 10000. The necessity for this is
apparent. As rapidly as the new war ships
wooden tubs have been consigned to the
bone yard. Even then sufficient number
OF men to work the guns and perform other
duties on the improved vessels was not in
SoIvICo. uo CnaTieSLOn. DaltlmOr6, HeLTel,
and later the Concord, Bennington, Maine,
Texas, Newark and others of the new
cruisers are to be placed in commission.
Then the force available will be absolutely
unable to handle the vessels. In addition to
this, a large number of seamen who were
aboard the Trenton, Nipsic and Vandalia
when they were wrecked in the Samoan
cyclone lost their lives. Still, others of
those who escaped or have been discharged
and sought other means of livelihood.
1t is believed that were war to break out
today the United States could hardly put
upon the water five thousand trained seamen.
Captain Schley at the last session of Congress
the increase which Secretary Tracy will re-
quest. The committee thought it in the in
terests of economy, perhaps, but more likely
because Of the niggardly policy which char
tain the proposition. Instead it suggested
that enough ships be put out of commission
to man the new ones.

Efforts of the FIremen at Kingston

BosToN. Mass, November 28.-At the cor
ner of Kingston and Bedford streets the
flames gave the fremen fierce battle, and
it was only by almost superhuman efforts
that the buildings from Bedford street to
Summer street were saved. The new build

tion on Kingston street was only saved al
ter a stubborn resistance. This building,
about six stories high, Is in process Oh erec-

the building with water with such success
that only the window castings on the Bedford
street side were burned. The material used
and being constantly wet down by torrents
of water, the flames did not have much OF
show. The roof of the building was, how
ever. burned slightly in one place.
Lines of hose were run through the store

service.
At an early stage the Adams, New York
Dispatch, United states and Canada and
other express companies ordered out every
available wagon, and did valuable service in
removing goods from burning buildings and
those In Imminent peril.
Many firms occupying buildings on Sum-
mer street, anticipating loss by fire. took the
precaution to remove the contents Of their
safes, while those on Chauncy and Kings
mOvedl their goods in quantities as large as
possible to places of greater security.
At an early hour the employees of the gas
company were on hand, and undoubtedly
prevented many explosions by turning off
the gas at all the mains leading to the area
occupied by the fire.
