ington, says: The necessity of
increasing the personnel of the
navy will be presented to
Congress in the forthcoming re-
ports of bureau chiefs of the
navy department. Both officers
and men are needed to man the
large number of ships now in
commission.
Captain Crowinshield, chief
of the bureau of navigation, in
order to find officers for vessels,
is compelled to search the ser,
vice with a fine rake.
So far as the chief engineer
corps is concerned, it is under
stood that Engineer in Chief Mel
vile, proposes to recommend
that 100 officers be added to the
corps as soon as possible. The
number of engineer officers is
now so limited that on the bat
tleships the chief engineers have
only three assistants, when they
should have at least five.
Chief Naval Constructor HIGH.
born also proposes to call atten.
ton to the small number of of,
ficers in his corps. In compari,
son with the construction corps
of other countries, that of Mr..
Hichborn is the smaller and he
believes it should be increased.
The lack of enlisted men has
been apparent for some time.
The department has not enough
men to place the cruiser Balti,
more in commission and the Phil.
adelphia must return to the Uni.

order that her officers and crew
may be transferred to the Balti-

Genuine Case of Yellow Fever In
Beaumont,
Small Boy Contracted the Disease
From Which He Died This Morn
Transmitted By Mail.

Austin, Texas, Sept. 22.-(Special) y
Governor Culberson this morning re-
ceived a telegram from State Health
officer Swearingen announcing that a
genuine case of yellow fever was in
existence in Beaumont. A suspicious
case was reported to Governor Gull
berson yesterday and ne at once sent
DR.. Swearingen to investigate. This
morning DR.. Swearingen reported to
him by wire that the case, which was
that of small boy, was genuine yell
low fever and the boy had died at an
early hour today.
Many are led to think that the mail
service is bringing fever into the state
and the governor will be asked to cut
out all train service of any kind be-
tween Louisiana and Texas and some
seem to think that he will grant the
request, thus effectively blocking all
intercourse between Texas and Lou
isiana.
Beaumont from now on will be
closely surrounded by a rigid quaran-
tine in the hopes of effectually block
ing the progress of the disease.

1t is understood that the witness
es are being closely examined by

that Senator Fair attended a
business meeting with him on a
day on which it was claimed the
deceased millionaire was at an
other place. Mrs. Matte r. Cra-
ven was examined at length,
being closely questioned regard
ing Bartlett's connection with
the case, but nothing new was
ascertained.

Human Slicing for Murder-Japan
Cabinet in Danger.
Vancouver, B. c., Sept 22.-The fol-
lowing advices have been received
by the steamer Empress of India.
Korea has Joined the international
Geographic convention.
Several Japanese papers claim that
the days of the present cabinet are
limited. Their mistakes in financial
policy and also regards Formosa are
said to have caused their downfall.
The indescribable, discriminating
law of China which condemns MUIR
,derer to death by slicing process
whether he be the perpetrator of will
full crime or the victim of an accident,
is terribly illustrated by a case now
vexing the people of Shanghai. A
boy of eleven was swinging some ar
happened to strike his mother, who
died from the effects of the blow. He
was condemned to be sliced to death
and though efforts have been made to
save him from this fearful ending, so
far they have not been successful.
1t appears that none of the material
of the Shanghai oo-Sung railroad is
to be obtained from England. Amer
lea will supply the sleepers and loco
motives.
