THE BATTLESHIP MAINE.
Charges That She Draws Less Water
Aft Than Forward,

New York. Oct. 1.-THE Herald pub
fishes a statement this morning that the
new second class battleship Maine, which
is to go to sea tomorrow. draws three
feet less water aft than forward, and al
so that she has a bad list TO starboard,
her right side being sunk deeper than the
left side. naval expert who looked at
the ship when at Brooklyn, thus sums
up her defects:
1.-THE facts are, the Maine draws three
feet more forward than she does aft, and
she leans over TO starboard considerably
Being now ready for starting, having
taken aboard her full coal supply of 500
tons, and her complete outfit of men,
stores and ammunition, she should float
systematically, IL properly designed. Her
defective lines must be due to radical and
permanent causes, and not TO mere tenn
porary rnisplaeing of her weights"
The officers OF the ship are reported to
be reticent concerning these alleged faults
and IL is not known who is responsible for
them, although they may be due merely
to careless loading. In all othe respects
the ship Is said to he a model. and her
machinery, which was given a dock trial
Saturday. worked perfectly.

BERING SEA CONFERENCE
To Begin at Washington City Next
Wednesday.

To Begin at Washington City Next
Wednesday.
Washington City. Oct. 27.-Sir Mckenzie
Bowel, premier of Canada, and Sir
Charles Upper, minister of justice in the
Canadian cabinet, arrived here today and
are guests of Sir Julian Pauncefote at the
British embassy. They come to take part
in the Boring sea conference, the first
session of which has been set for We'd
nesday next at the state department. The
premier is well advanced in years. but
still vigorous and active. He held port
folio in the cabinet when Sir John Mac
donald was premier, and again when Sir
John Thompson took the head of the cab
met. On the sudden death of Sir John
Thompson in London, some months ago,
Mckenzie Bowel was advanced to the
premiership. Sir Charles Upper is the
younger member of the famous Upper
family. The elder Topper is remembered
in Washington City as one of the chief
factors in the international fisheries COM
mission which met here during Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration. He went TO
London as the Canadian commissioner at
the seat of the British government. Sir
Charles, the son, now here, was minister
of marine and fisheries at the time the
United States revenue cutter seized the
Canadian sealers in Boring sea, and is
fully conversant with that subject. Both
Mckenzie Bowel and Sir Charles Tup-
per have been identified with the policy Of
the Conservative party of Canada, which
developed the country along lines indie
pendent of the United States in opposition
10 the policy Of the Liberal party, in favor
of Commercial union" with this country.
But aside from this opposition, they have
maintained most friendly relation with
the United States.

Hooper. OF the revenue cutter Richard

is going north TO attend the trial of the
British vessels which were seized in Be-
ring sea for violating the sealing laws.

two schooners will be held before a Brit

stood that Capt, Hooper received a tele-
gram from Washington City on Friday or
dering him to leave for the north as soon
as possible. The outcome of the investi-
cation will be watched with interest by
American authorities, the latter having
similar cases on their own hands. The
Britishers are charged with using firearms
in the sea, and the Americans seized
from this port are charged with illegal
hunting outside the sea. The captains OF
the vessels owned In San Francisco, on
their return this season, complained bit
terly of the discrimination of Uncle Sans
revenue cutters in favor of the Canadian
and Victoria sealers. They stated that so
much firing was going on in Boring sea
by the British vessels that Il was i'm
possible for the American craft to get
near the seals. Only the two English ves-
sells mentioned were caught, and they
were overhauled by the Rush. Capt.

FIRE IN VIRGINIA
Does $500, 600 Damage to the Univer-
sity at Charlottesyfile.

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. T.-The Uni
versity OF Virginia suffered great loss
from fire which occurred this morning
The local fire department was unable TO
cope with the flames and assistance was
obtained from Staunton and Lynchburg,
which, however, arrived too late to save
the public hall and the rotunda. The fire
started in the former building and a large
quantity of dynamite was used on the
portico between the rotunda and the pub
lie hall, but beyond displacing the large
pillars nothing was accomplished. Atten-
ton was then given to the buildings
known as "old chapel and the reading
room. These Were blown UP. the debris
saturated with water and the fire there
by confined to the hall and rotunda The
library, containing about $4,000 worth of
books, statues, paintings, etc, was in the
rotunda. An effort to save IL resulted
in the getting ont OF Jeffersons statue.
Everything else was burned. At o'clock
the fire was gotten under control The
lecture rooms were destroyed and every
thing in the building, including a geologi-
cal laboratory of great value. a painting
entitled the school Of Athens" a copy
OF the celebrated production by Raphael.

Can You shoot:

A correspondent OF the American Field
sends that paper the following rules,
which If carefully observed by those car
rying weapons will avoid many sad acci-
dents:
/. Never under any circumstances soint
your gun toward human being.
2. Never carry ii so that If it were acci-
dentally discharged it would even endan-
ger the life of a dog.
3. Always think which way your gun is
pointed, and If companion is in the field
with you, no matter how near or how
tempting the game appears, do not shoot
until you know where he is: a stray shot
may be sufficient to destroy an eye for
ever.
T. Never carry a loaded gun in a wagon.
5. Never carry a loaded gun over a
fence: put 1t through and then get over.
s. Always carry gun at half-cock; II
a breech-loader never let the hammer rest
on the plunger.
z. Never get in front of a gun: II you
are falling, drop ii so that the muZzle will
be from you.
g. If the cartridge sticks the stout blade
of knife will probably extract it; IL not
take out the other cartridge, cut a
straight stick and poke it out from the
muZzle; even then do not get in front of
the gun.
9. After firing one barrel. take the cart
ridge out of the other and examine the
wad to see that IT is not loosened. as it
sometimes is after a heavy recoil, for,
should it get into the barrel it is liable to
burst the gun.
10. Never take hold of the muzzle of a
gun TO draw ii toward you.
II. Never set gun up so that IL IT should
fall the nuZzle would be toward you.
u. Never keep loaded gun in the
house.
Follow these rules, be self-possessed,
and the fields will afford you sport with
out danger.
