DESTRUCTION OF DERELIOTS.
United States and Great Britain Will

WASHINGTON, April 25, 1894 The United
States is to have the practical cooperation
of Great Britain in the destruction Of .dere-
licts which menace navigation in the North
Atlantic Ocean. Heretofore the Vesuvius,
and occasionally some other United States
naval vessel, has cruised in search of aban-
doned hulks floating half submerged in the
track Of transatlantic liners and coastwise
steamers, but no assistance was ever given
by the nation whose shipping was most af-
fected. The naval photographic Office was
surprised and gratified few days ago to
receive letter from Vice Admiral John o.
Hopkins, commanding the British West
Indian and North American feet, on the
flagship Blake, stating that he had given
orders to the commanders of all his vessels
to keep a sharp watch for derelicts, and
when sighted to stand ty them until they
were destroyed, and in case the cargo was
lumber, to see that it was thoroughly broken
up. There are always seven or eight war
vessels attached to Vice Admiral Hopkins
feet, and as they are continually cruising
from the West Indies, by way of Bermuda,
to Halifax, their work of destroying danger
GUS hulks is apt to be of the greatest inn
portapce,

ENROLMENT PLAN
Decided On Last Evening by
the Democratic Sub
Committee.
FOR DEMOCRATS ONLY
Mugwumps Must Have a Certif-
cate Of Character Before Being
Recognized.

The committee of the Central Democratic
and Reform County Committee appointed to
prepare plan for the enrolment Of Demo-
cratic voters met last night at Democratic
Headquarters, No. $40 Grove street. Mr..
Willard c. Fisk of the Reform Committee
presided. The committee decided upon an
excellent plan which will be submitted for
acceptance or rejection to the main commit
tees at joint meeting to be held at Demo-
cratic Headquarters next Tuesday evening.
THE PLAN PREPARED.
The plan prepared provides for enrolment
by precincts, the lines of which will be laid
out by the general committee. Regular
democrats will be permitted to enroll with
out questioning Luke warm party sup
porters, however, before being allowed to en-
roll will be required to present the endorse
ment of two regularly enrolled democrats,
or give the enrolment officers some positive
assurance that they believe in the principles
of the Democratic party
Circulars will be sent to every known
democrat in the county, informing him of
the time and place for enrolment, stating
specifically the qualifications which will en-
able him to enroll. No time or place was
fixed npen by the committee it being deemed
advisable to submit that question to the gen
eral committees,
1t was decided, however, that there should
be two enrolment days. On the first day
the polls will be open frcm four o'clock in
the afternoon until seven O'Clock in the even
ing. On the second day they will be open
from seven in the evening until ten o'clock.
DEMOCRATS MUSr ENROLL
The committee wish to impress upon the
minds of all democrats that the clause in the
reorganization prosisiting man from vot-
ing at primary at which candidate is to
be chesen unless enrolled ten days before
such primary election, will be rigidly en-
forced. Due notice of the enrolment days
will be given, and if democrats lose vote
by failing teenroll they will have only them
selves to blame.
The adjusting of the enrolment question
in this wise, virtually completes ths pending
plan of reorganization The entire plan will
be adopted as amended next Friday evening
and it will then be put into operation by the
election of new County Committee.
Democrats believe that the enforcement of
the plan will put an end to party disruption,
and at the same time an end to Republican
victory.

ARMoR PLATE TESTS,

WASHINGTON, April IS, 1894 The impor-
tanca Of substantial backing to armor plate
was made the subject of preliminary tests
at Indian Head yesterday, when six-inch
shells with a muzzle velocity of about 1900
feet per second were fired at six-inch circu-
lar Harveyized plate with results that indi-
Gated the practical utility of the backing.
The test was, however, not considered con-
elusive. A twelve-inch Wheeler shell was
fired at thirteen-inch plate in order to test
lot of 100 shells for acceptance. The plate
was pierced, but the projectile was entirely
demolished. 1t is possible, however, that
the shells will be accepted, as the penetration
was complete

A SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.
Dr.. Doty Believes the Followers
of CoxeY Will Cause One.

NEW YORK, April 25, 1s94.-Dr. Alva b.
Douy, chief inspector of the division OF con-
tagious diseases of the Board Of Health OF
this city, announced today that there was
great danger of smallpox being spread all
over the country by Coxey's army. DIR.
Doty. who has had much experience fight
ing the disease in this city, gives warning OF
the impending menace to public health. He
asserts that nothing can prevent smallpox
from being carried from one city to another
by Coxey's followers.
DIR. Deity was seen at his office today.
Ever since the Coxey movement was in
ments of Coxey's followers all over the couD-
thy. Today the chief inspector decided that
it was time to sound the keynote of warning.
"a fearful menace to public health is i'm
minent,n said DIR. Doty Followers OF
Coxey are starting up everywhere and pre-
pairing to march to Washington. The men
who are following the leaders OF the Com
monweal movement are Of those Glasses who
are more susceptible TO contracting diseases
than others. | see that 5000 Coxey recruits
will leave Chicago on Saturday to go to
Washington.
Now Chicago is at present infected with
smallpox. The disease is raging all over the
city The hospitals are not large enough to
accommodate the victims. The sick are
quartered everywhere. That scme of the
3, 900 or more Of CoxeY's followers in Chicago
are being exposed to the eentagion goes
without saying These men must sleep some
where, and as smallpox Is breaking out
every day in new quarters of the city, there
is not the slightest doubt but that many OF
them are being exposed and will carry the
infection in their clothes.
by the time they reach Washington the
disease will strike down some of them and
the scourge will spread in that city and
wherever they go. I am apprehensive
consequences.
..These Coxey armies are starting up all
through the West. There is good deal Of
smallpox in western cities. and it is almost
certain that the disease will be carried from
one place to another. Men are coming from
infected quarbscs to clean places and are sure
to lodge the disease wherever they congre-
gate. The movement is SO general and has
become SO extensive that the Coxey follow
ers will round up great numbers of persons
whose condition Of life will make them easy
victims of disease It is most serious mat
ter Just at this time. With smallpox raging
in Chicago and other Western cities ono of
the greatest menaces to public health is
being put into operation by the movements
of these various armies Of unemployed"
