OCEAN LANES AND CURRENTS.
Annual Report of the photographer of the
Navy department..

Washington. Nov. 29-The annual
report of the photographer of the navy
department for the past fiscal year
says:
The set of general ocean charts is
complete.
The set of general coast charts of the
western hemisphere is practically COM
plete.
Four-fifths of the special coast charts
and harbor and special charts of the
western hemisphere outside of the po-
lar regions, are available for issue.
The work has been extended into the
eastern hemisphere, where the general
coast charts of southern and eastern
Africa end.
The organization of the general coast
charts of China and Japan are practi
cally complete, and work is in progress
in reference to the general coast charts
of southern and eastern Africa.
The organization of the division of
chart construction is such that large
appropriations of money could be eff
fectively used in advancing more rap
idly to new ground. An increase of
$3.50, 900 a year for five years would en-
able the office to complete its set of
charts, after which the expense of sup
plying the government and the mari
time community with the latest edi-
tions would be comparatively slight.

Effect of an Ounce of Laudanum in the
Suicides Life Had Been Failure He
Evidently Belonged in the East-De-
stroyed Traces of His Identity.
Chicago, Nov. 29.-After destroying
all marks of Identification, well-dress-
ed man, about thirty years of age, COM
mitted suicide at the Kimball hotel
here last night by taking laudanum.
He described the effects of the drug in
writing until his hand could no longer
hold the pencil
In his efforts to destroy all clues
which might lead to his Identification
the suicide forgot two articles which
indicate that he was an easterner A
small mirror found in the hand of the
dead man bears the stamp of firm in
Rochester, N. Y, and the memorandum
book in which he described the manner
of his death contains the trademark of
A. w. McCloy & Co., 443 Wood street,
Pittsburg, Pa.
The trademarks on the clothing were
effaced. The man engaged a room at
the hotel last evening and registered
as E. l.. Bryan, although the police
think that this is not his name. Be
fore taking the drug he wrote letter
to the hotel proprietor and another to
the press, in which he gave no cause
for his act other than his life had been
a failure.
In both of these letters he made some
humorous remarks. He continued his
description of the effects of the drug
until all his strength had failed him,
and some of the last of it could not be
deciphered. As much of it as could be
made out is as follows:
"To M. D.
Drank one ounce of laudanum. Af-
ter five minutes feel little or no pain
Heart action now pronounced. A slight
pain in stomach.
"(Note)-My stomach is very weak,
having suffered for years from acute
dyspepsia.
Ten minutes-Condition about the
same. Pulse rapid and pains in wrists
and slight pain in region of heart, hand
trembles A feeling of dullness with
more pain in all parts of the body.
"(Note)-Will keep up this description
of effects as long as possible. Hope it
will be of use to medica ! science.
Eyes show change. A feeling of drow-
siness coming on. Sort of a feeling of
intoxication accompanied by slight
fever
Twenty minutes-Pain increasing.
A slight perspiration started Am get
ting sleepy. Have sort of numb feel
ing and no pain"
The last few sentences were scarcely
legible so unsteady had the writer's
hand become, and although he attempt
ed to write few more lines the words
could not be made out.
The clothing of the suicide is of good
material and the police think that he
may be we'll connected. No money was
found.

so-called citizens ticket, why did they
not recognize some portion of the town
ticket as we'll?
With an inside fight to the finish be
tween the gold and silver factions of
the democratic party in endeavoring to
get together on a common basis, would
it not mean fight to the finish against
the republicans and their nominees, ir-
respective of their qualifications?
Had these two gentlemen, Messrs.
Lyon and Brown, instead of doing what
they honestly thought to be right, both
for their own honor and that of the
party with which they have stood so
long, and which has stood by them
and through which they have received
so many honors; had they not declin-
ed but entered into the differences of
opinion between the gold and silver
factions, and the democratic ticket
should have been elected, with the eX-
ception of these two gentlemen above
named, indorsed by them, who might
then have retained their offices, but re-
tanned them through the defeat of that
party with which they have been iden-
titled so long, would it not appear as II
these two men loved the emoluments
of the Office better than the loyaltu due

BERING sEA CLAIMS.
United States Counsel Moves TO Strike Out
Two British Contentious.

Victoria. B. c., Nov. 29.-At yester-
days sitting of the Bering Sea claims
commission, counsel for the United
States moved to strike out two of the
claims by the British side, ON the
ground that they did not come within
the terms of the convention which had
resulted in the formation of the pres
ent commission, not having been in
cluded in the summary of the claims
referred to the Paris tribunal. These
claims were that of the schooner Black
Diamond for 81, 500 for loss arising from
her being ordered out of Bering Sea in
1886, and the personal claim of Captain
James Gaudin of the British marine
service for $4,000 expense incurred in
connection with the seizure of the
schooner Aida. Both claims, the Brit
ish counsel insisted, were among those
which should properly be dealt with,
and correspondence regarding them
clearly showed that it was contem-
plated to include both.
The argument was continued at some
length, and the decision was reserved.

''In the discussion of the matter Mr..
Mckinley expressed opinions as to the
general requirements of the head of
the department that We're in full ac-
cord with those of the committee" con-
tinued Mr.. Baker HE said he had a
long and intimate acquaintance with
Mr.. Allerton and spoke highly of him
as a gentleman, financier and business
man, and while he did not tell the
members of the committee outright
that he would make him member of
his cabinet, we feel from the way he
treated the matter that he will appoint
him"

Bro HAMBURG srRIKE.
Men and Masters Both Confident of Win
ning-Business at u StandstilI.


Hamburg, Nov 29.-The strike of the
dock laborers and others employed in
the shipping trade continues, and both
masters and men express themselves as
confident of success. There is no sign
of a break in the ranks of the strikers
Notwithstanding the Importation of
foreign labor. The leaders of the strike
are working hard to secure the adhe-
sion of all the dock, harbor and ware
house employees and have succeeded in
gaining many accessions to their num-
ber. The warehouse men and the men
employed in the graneries decided at
meetings held to-day to join the strike
in order to procure better wages for
themselves and incidentally to help the
men already out.
The strike Is causing much delay in
the shipment of water borne freights.
The sheds are more than full of goods
from mailing shipments, but there is no
telling when the accumulation will be
cleared away. Many of the new men
that have been employed are not well
fixed in their work, and add materially
to the delay in loading and discharging
vessels. 1t is believed that the claims
of chartered vessels for demurrage will
be large and if these are conceded or
enforced a heavy additional expense
will be entailed on the shipping men.
The Hamburger Nachrichten accuses
English influence of causing the strike,
and asks the members of the various
athletic unions to take the places of
strikers.
A dispatch received here from Stock
holm says that the dock laborers' union
there held a meeting to-day ana deci-
ded that it's members should not dis
charge cargoes from Hamburg that are
loaded by "blacklegs'
Emperor William has ordered that a
detailed report be made to him as to
the causes and extent of the strike.
Thus far the men on strike have be-
have in an orderly manner, but it is
evident that the ship owners anticipate
trouble of some kind for they have re-
quested the authorities at Kiel to send
marines here.

ENTIRE FAMILY PERISHED
FIVE PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH
1ENEKENT HOUSE FIRE.

Death Came When They Were All Asleep
Fire Discovered by the Owner of the
Property-He Receivers One Corpse, but
is Driven Back by the Flames The
Building Burned to the Ground.
Perry, N Y, Nov ga whole fami-
ly perished in the flames this morning
in the tenement house on the Irving
Thompson farm, situated about four
miles northeast of the voltage. The
family comprised Luther Greenman,
aged forty years; Mrs. Greenman aged
thirty Annie, aged six; Lottie,
aged three, and Arthur, eleven months
old.
The house was discovered in flames
by Mr.. Thompson at 6:45 a. m. He
rushed to the building and knocked
open the door, but was driven back by
the flames, which seemed to be in pos
session of the whole interior. He then
knocked open bedroom window and
took hold of Mr. Greenman, who was
burned so that the flesh came off in
Thompson's hand, and it was all he
could do to draw our the corpse.
Thompson was then compelled to flee
from the house, the flames, which came
from the window almost scorching
him. The house quickly burned to the
ground.
Coroner Watson arrived and the
charred remains of the family were
taken from the ruins. The fire was
undoubtedly the result of a defective
pipe.

LoC6 MAKERS COMBINE.
Many Connecticut Concerns in the Plan to
Regulate Prices.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-The leading lock
makers of the country are said to have
formed a new combination to regulate
the prices of locks in general but more
particularly trunk locks, on which it
is claimed prices have been ruinously
low during the past two or three years.
The manufacturers said to be- in the
combination, and who have organized
under the name of the American Lock
association, are the Corbin Cabinet
Lock company of New Britain, Conn. !;
the Eagle Lock company of Terryville,
Conn; the Storr Lock works of Phila-
delphia; the Yale & Towne Manufac-
turing company of Stamford, Conn. !;
the Shrendt & Son of Newark, N. j. All
of the firms, except the Yale & Towne
company, were in the combination
formed in 1891, and dissolved in 1893
Prices have been advanced from % to
80 per cent. within the past two week,
and it is thought there is every pros
pect of further advance. Provision
has been made, it is said, against any
dissolution of the present combination
for term of five years by requiring all
of the firms interested to make a cash
deposit of $500 to be forfeited in case of
any cut in prices.

Several Western Roads to be Joined in a
Compact System.

Denver, Nov. 29.-Receiver Trumbull
of the Gulf railroad admitted yesterday
that the purpose of the visit of General
Granville M. Dodge to Colorado was to
look over the system with a view to
preparing at once to take the various
lines of the Gulf system out of the
hands of the court. The Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf, the Denver, Lead
vile and Gunnison, the Cheyenne and
Northern, the Denver and Pacific, the
Denver, Texas and Fort Worth, and
the Colorado Central railroads will be
Joined into one compact system.
1t is an open secret in railroad circles
that General Dodge and other large
holders of Union Pacific stock and
bonds have given UP all hope of pass
ing the Pacific funding bill. The Union
Pacific, with it's immense debt, will be
thrown on the hands of the government
and all of the branches are now fight
ing for separate corporate existence.

James r. MacMahon, the gold demo-
Gratis candidate for general registrar,
is making a lively canvass against John
p. Carney. He is likely to get a great
deal of support from the Seventh ward,
if all reports are true.
The following statement of a promi-
nent republican gives a correct estimate
of what the men who did the work in
the campaign just closed think Of
Messrs. Brown and Lyons action in
withdrawing from the national demo-
cratic ticket:
'In reply to the eopen letter of Mr.. Par
dee, the chairman of the national dem
ocratic party, criticising the action of
Mr. Lyon and Mr.. Brown in not seeing
their way clear to accept the nomina-
tions on their ticket, which is but the
subdivision of the democratic vote of
the city, or, in other words, fight for
supremacy between the silver and gold
democrats, which was started at the
last presidential election, it Is hard to
see how the gentlemen could have TAX
en- any other course in honesty to them
selves and in justice to their party
which placed them in office. 1t was a
great honor to them naturally, and
must be so considered, to be indorsed
by the class of men who so unanimous
ly rendered them the compliment of the
Endorsement of their official actions for
the past two years by placing them on
their own ticket, and which cannot now
be taken away. But it has been the
subject of much talk, and the question
has been asked many times why these
gentlemen should have declined the
place on the national democratic tick
ct. 1t should be borne in mind for one
thing. that it was not an Endorsement
of the whole republican ticket, but only
a part of it, and in opposition to what
is called the machine, an organiza-
ton which at the late election did so
much to secure the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, and the same organization
which succeeded two years ago in max
ing this city republican by from two
thousand to twenty-five hundred over
former democratic majority of three
thousand. The name machine is but
the synonym for organized effort, and
which each of the great parties have
for the furtherance of their own ideas.
'The republicans have worked hard
and faithfully, with the result that for
the past two years they have placed in
office for the business administration
of the city men like Mr.. Lyon and Mr..
Brown-men who have received the in
dorsement of their fellow citizens Of
both parties.

above named in office-the republicans
or the democrats?

CHURCH FREE FROM DOGMA.
Scheme of the Christian Socialists Dis
cussed at Their Congress.

Berlin, Nov. 29.-The congress Of the
Christian Socialists which has been in
progress at Erfurt for several days at
tracted considerable attention at the
opening of its sittings on Monday last,
but all interest in the proceedings died
out as the gaseous and impractical
character of the speeches of the dele
gates became apparent.
Pastor Naumann, who has now en-
tire1y disassociated himself from DR..
Stoker, formerly court chaplain and
the head and front of Christian social
ism, delivered a long and rambling
speech advocating the founding of a
new church which should be free from
dogma. THE Christian socialists he
said, would yet march shoulder to
shoulder with the solid democrats, in
support of a system of universal con-
scription, an increase of the German
fleet and the policy of German colonial
expansion" The impression left by the
congress is that the Christian socialist
party will never attain political i'm
pcrtance, there being no unity of opin-
ion within it's ranks.

TWENTY-NINE PERSONS KILLED.
Terrible Disaster Attending Fete In
Baroda, India.

Bombay, Nov. ga dispatch from
Baroda, capital of the state of that
name, says: The Earl of Elgin, vice
roy of India, arrived at Baroda this
evening on a visit to Gaikwar, or ma
tive ruler of the state. The Inhabitants
turned out en- masse to welcome the
viceroy and to see display of fire
works in his honor.
The display was given in the park of
the Gaikwar, which was open to the
public. Everything passed off without
incident of note until the end of the
ceremonies. Then the crowd made a
rush for the park gates, which were SO
narrow that they soon became jammed
with people Those behind pressed for
ward until the crush at the gates was
terrific.
A number of persons were squeezed
to death, while others who lost their
footing in the surging mass of human
ity had the life trampled out of them
or died from suffocation.
When - crowd was finally cleared
away it was found that twenty-nine
persons had been killed and thirty-five
more or less seriously injured.
