TO REFIT THE. CHICAGO.

WASHINGTON, April 4. = The
naval inspection board which re-
Gently made a careful examination
of the United States steamer Chi
cago has made report to the sec
retary of the navy suggesting impor
tant changes in the rig and battery
of the ship.
The Chicago was one of the first
vessels of the new navy to be
launched, and she has rendered eX-
cellent service and has made long
cruises to every part of the globe.
In the years she has been in serv-
ice great progress has been made in
the naval construction, and in view
of the good qualities of the ship
the board believes that she should
be supplied with modern appliances.
Congress has already made an appro-
priation to fit her with new en-
gines and boilers, which are now
being constructed. and will result in
largely increasing her speed and coal
endurance. Now the board expresses
j the opinion that her battery should
be brought up to date. This now
consists of four eight-inch. eight
siX-inch and two ~fve-inch breech
| leaders. The war in the east has
| emphasized the belief OF the ord
nance officers that for the :maller
callibers. the rapid-fre type guns,
using fixed ammunition hike i revolv-
! er cartridge, are absolutely neces-
sary to fighting off torpedo. boats
and general efficiency. Therefore
the board recommended that. while
the eight-inch guns be retained,
rapid-fire five-inch rifles be SUBJ
| stituted for the six and fye-inch
breech leaders. It lis also held that
the Tnasts and rigging of the Chicago
| are OF 10 service.

RUSH FOR LANDS.
Timber and Stone Claims Wanted
on Ash River

ON Ash River
DULUTH, Mimi, April 4.-When the
land office opened this morning 100
men made a rush to file timber and
stone claims in 66-21, a well timbered
town on Ash river, a tributary Of
Rainy lake. The crush was terrible,
There were only twenty-seven who
made filings, and of them a dozen
were in conflict. A large number stood
in line out on the street all night, and
there were some decidedly unpleasant
experiences. Two men were found con-
cealed in the tower of the government
building at midnight and bounced
from the building, and when the men
were let into the corridor at o'clock
this morning they found that Phillip
Hasseldad, mailing clerk, had got in
through the postoffice and had hold of
the land Office door knob They used
him so roughly that he had to retire.
The business of the land office for the
nrst quarter was only $19,993, as against
SlOl, ,2S3 one year ago. This is due in
great measure to the rigid investiga-
ton being made by the government
INTO claims, SO that men are afraid to
take up land, and partly, also, to the
difference in the lands thrown open to
settlement.

Lake, the Murderer of Emma HuIt
ElectrOcuted

AUBURN, N. Y, April 4.-William
Lake was executed by electricity in
the state prison here at 12:45 D. m.
William Lake murdered Emma Louisa
Hult, fellow servant at the Van
Camp homestead, near Carlton, in Oc-
tober of last year. The crime was ac-
companied by manifestations of feroc-
ity and depravity almost beyond be-
lief. The victims head was beaten TO
pulp and her body mutilated in a
barbarous manner. After the crime
Lake fled, but few days later he was
captured. He freely admitted the
crime. and did not plead any provoca-
ton or excuse. 1t had been deliberate
ly planned, and the details committed
to writing, together with brief story
of the murderer's life. The fact that
he was of illegitimate birth. he said
had embittered all his life. He had
professed love for Miss Hult, but she
refused his attentions, and he deter
mined to kill her. Lake, upon his
trial, expressed desire to go to the
electrical chair, and ever since his
condemnation has said that he would
joyously welcome the day of his execu-
ton.

Many blank judicial ballots were cast.
The lack of interest in the contest for

ROBBERS MADE LIGHT HAUL
They Relieve Passeng ers Of a
Half Dozen ReVOlverS and

CHICAGO, April 4. = The Rock
Island train was robbed at 11:50 last
night twenty rods west Of Dover,
Okla. The train, No. 1, was held
up by five mounted men, who ordered
the baggageman to open the door of
the baggage car. He refused, and
the robbers fired twelve shots
through the door, wounding the bag
gageman in the wrist. The robbers
then broke open the door with
sledge, but did not succeed in get
ting any plunder from the baggage.
They hurriedly proceeded through
the smoker and one day coach, Sc
curing about $500 in money from the
passengers. In addition to the $500
cash, the robbers also obtained from
their victims in the day coach and
smoker six revolvers and a. number
of watches and rings. The passen-
gers in the sleepers were not dis
turbed. The robbers were last seen
from the train, going west from
Dover, all mounted, the leader being
upon mettlesome gray horse. A
posse started from Kingf1sher, the
next station, in pursuit of the ban
dts.
BANDITS BITE THE DUST.
WICHITA, Kan, April 4.-Late
tonight word was received from the
territory that the posse had come
up with the Rock Island robbers,
one man was killed and several
wounded. Names are not given,
and it is not likely that further par
ticulars can be gotten tonight. The
leaders of the robbers were Charles
Bagly and Sell Wyatt, of Ingalls,,
Payne county. They were recognized
by ex-United States Marshal Grimes,
who was on the train. They were
formerly prisoners in his custody,
and greeted him courteousIy. The
others were evidently local thieves
from Kingffsher. The delay caused
by the robbing of the express cars
gave the passengers an opportunity
to hide their valuables. What they
had handed to the robbers were
such amounts as they chose to give
up. The negro porter was forced to
carry a small sack and go in front
OF the bandits. Bagly kept with
him, telling everybody to chip in,
and with his Winchester ready to
shoot any one who resisted. The
Rock Island has offered a reward
of 81 900 for the arrest and conviction
of each of the robbers.
