Navy Department Acquiring List
of American Vessels.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA dispatch
from Washington says:
THE navy department has sent let
ters to the leading steamship agents,
whose vessels have American registry,
asking for information as to the dis
placement, speed, and general adapta-
bility of the vessels for war purposes
in the event that they should be i'm
dressed by the government All ships
of great tonnage now built in this
country are so constructed they would
readily meet the requirements Of the
navy as auxiliary cruisers should their
services be required. Their rudders
are we'll submerged and sheltered from
shell and shot, and the propeller shafts
are heavily protected from where they
leave the vessels bottom to the pro-
pellers The decks are SO constructed
that they could be readily used for
mounting the four, five and siX-inch
rifles now being manufactured at the
Washington gun factory, under the ap-
preparation made two years ago for a
large number of reserve guns.
1.-The navy at present carries on its
list of vessels that would be available
as commerce destroys in war time the
names of forty-two ships, thirty-two
of which are on the Atlantic coast,
six on the Pacific, and the rest on the
Great Lagos, varying in speed from the
high powered American transatlantic
liners to the smaller ships plying be-
tween New York and West Indian
ports. Eighty-five rifles are now avail
able for installation on such ships, and
with their carriages could be mounted
within thirty days.
"Chief Constructor Hichborn, under
whose direction plans are being drawn
by which the st. Louis type of vessels
could be converted into formidable
modern auxiliary cruisers, estimates
that he can send the ST. Louis to sea
in three weeks fully equipped with an
effective battery and with the vitals
well protected by a system Of coal
bunkers. He estimates that the navy
now has about one dozen ships which
could be quickly converted under the
plans already perfected, and the others
could be made available in a little
more time.
He anticipates that at least five
years will be required to draw plans
for the full list of vessels carried on
the list Of merchant ships that could
be used for war purposes, and by that
time rifles will have been delivered at
the navy yard for every one of such
ships.
Captain O'Neil, the ordinance chief,
will in his annual report, now in pre-
paration, urge that 100000 be provided
with which to manufacture guns for
reserve purposes These guns he pro-
poses assembling at New York, Nor
folk and League Island, with carriages
and equipment complete, SO that they
can be mounted on shipboard at short
notice

Coroner Finds the Death of the
Babe Was Purely Acct
dental.

When the council pruning" COM
mittee assembled yesterday afternoon
City Attorney Healey was called on
for an opinion as to the powers vested
in the board of tax levy. Aid. Rand
wanted to know if the board was en-
powered by law to fix the tax rate
and if the council had no alternative
but to abide by the boards decision.
Mr.. Healey replied that the board
certainly was empowered to fix the
rate and that as it was a much higher
body than the council the latter would
have to submit to the boards dicta-
ton.
The committee then addressed itself
to the serious task of cutting down the
amounts at which the 1898 estimates of
the different departments had been
placed in order to make the total
amount comply with the 25 mill rate
fixed by the board. In order to do this
a reduction of $50, 936 was necessary
The estimate which suffered the heav-
lest reduction in the attempt to bring
the total within bounds was that of
the fire department. The appropria-
ton asked for was cut down 1000 at
one fell slash. The police department
also came in for big cut, its estimate
being reduced $4,000 The other cuts
were, on the whole, rather evenly dis
lIlDu(CQ DSlWSSH Lie utilSltul. QtpdI u
ments.
The following list shows the cuts
made in each departments: Fire de-
partment, $685. GOO to $2O5, O00 mayors
emergency fun, $4,000 to $1,000; coun-
Gil contingent fund.- $4,000 to $780,;
miscellaneous expenses, including city
hall incidentals, $4,000 to $1,000; mu-
nicipal court, $15,50O to $14,7O0, $500 be-
ing taken from the item of books and
$500 from fuel and lighting; city as
SCISSOR, $19650 to $40, $50; general cleo
ton, $4,000 to $2,50O
The fire department cut was due
largely to statement from Comp
troller Nye, to the effect that judging
from the departments expenditures for
the first nine months of 1897 there
would be $4,000 left in its appropria-
ton at the end Of the year. Aid. Rand,
who moved that the estimate be re-
duced to $4,000, explained his motion
by saying that the fire department was
the only one which was in a position
to borrow money when its funds were
exhausted. He believed also that
much of the engine house repairing
counted on, which was a big item of
expense, could be postponed until next
year.

PATH TO MINNETONKA.
Cyclists Want the Use of the Old
Red of the Great Northern.

Cyclists Want the Use of the Old
Red of the Great Northern.
The new cycle path association has
evolved a plan for cycle path to Min
netonka, which could be cheaply and
quickly constructed. The plan is to
secure from the Great Northern COM
pany permission to use the old roadbed
which was abandoned when the pres
ent line was constructed. There is a
stretch Of about two miles where the
new line uses the old roadbed, and
for this distance the path would have
to be graded.
One of the officials of the association
talking about the proposed path, said ::
Exclusive of the two miles, on which
we might have to secure easements
before we could build, if we did not
care to follow the highway, l think the
outside expenditure would be less than
$150 per mile. We are told that the
roadbed is in excellent condition. It
has what is known as a water grade
and practically all that would be. re-
CURED would he that it be cleared and
then given the proper dressings of clay
and sand. Both of these materials are
ready at hand along nearly the entire
distance"
Secretary Wadsworth was in st.
Paul yesterday and laid the request
before the officials of the Great North
ern road, but no immediate answer
was given.

FIRE WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Coroner Thinks Inquest Unneces
sary in the OsseO Case

Coroner Dennis yesterday viewed the re-
mains Of the year-o,d son of Charles Rey-
no,ds whose farm house. near Ozseo, was
burned Tuesday, resulting fatally t. the child
The official decided that 1t was purely An
accidental case and needed no further inves-
tigation on his part. The babes corpse pre-
sented a horrible sight. The flesh was near
ly all burned off and the remains were
scarcely recognizable. The little boys name
was Charles
AS told yesterday, Mrs. Reyno DIS and her
three-year-o.,d son went to the barn to feed
the stock Tuesday afternoon. Little Charles
was left in his cradle and there was not
known to tie any fire in the house. The
mothers attention was soon attracted by a
crack.iTI noise. She saw sm7 Ike ascending.
Upon rushing to the house, she saw that it
was doomed and her only thought was to
save her babe. She tried to enter by the
doors, but was driven back by the flames.
Then she broke through window, but after
entering, the fire was SO strong that she
c3uld not rescue the child. She ESCAPED only
by retrea>ing to the cellar and making her
exit by an outside door. The barn and shed )
were also burned and it was only by the
timely aid Of the reighbcTs that the adjoin-
ing buildings of a farmer named Gibbs were
saved.
Mrs. Reynolds cut her hands badly in
breaking through the window. Her face
and hands were also severely scorched, but
her wounds are superficial and are not eX-
pected to terminate in serious manner.

two hours had destroyed that building
and seventeen others adjoining, prac-
tically wiping out the business portion
of the town and causing an estimated
loss of 100000; insurance, one-half The
principal losses are as fallows: j. Rob-

the citizens of the town, which has a
population of 1900, had hard work in
getting the flames under control. In
addition to this water was very scarce
and most of the wells were surrounded
by fire, which rendered them useless.

THREE VILLAGES BURNED.
Details of the Fire About CasseIman
Still Meager.

OTTAWA, Oct. 6.-The Canada At
lantic railroad has not yet been able to
get to CaSSelman on account of the fire
which started in that vicinity yester-
day, and which ragged all night. The
Nation river, small stream, passes
through Casselman and the woodwork
of the iron bridge over it has been
burned down. Details of the damage
done are still meager, but it is known
that three villages, Casselman, South
Indian and Cheney, have all been
swept away.
A train which arrived at Casselman
at moor yesterday from Montreal,
bound for Ottawa, was kept lodging
the fire all night, but reached Ottawa
safely this morning. The train got over
the bridge at CasSelman before the fire
made it's appearance. E Early this morn
ing the people of Casselman, about 500,
were reported as huddled together on
the rocks on the river without sufficient
clothing or anything to eat. At South
Indian, which has population OF 500,
there are only three or four houses
standing. South Indian is several miles
from Casselman. Cheney, another VII
lage, was burned down. The fire COW
cred a distance of about twenty-five
miles. Some people are said to be miss
ing. but so far no bodies have been re-
covered Casselman had Is or 100 resi-
dences, a lumber mill, -grist mill, furni-
ture factory and several other business
places of Importance. Assistance is
being forwarded to the homeless from
Ottawa and a fund IssM Ssen started.
Four bodies hs1s -: y recovered
near South Indian, S. ( se&ult of the
forest fires. They are Chose of Mrs. lie
Vielle, Miss Stiles, her sister and Mrs.
LIE Vielle's two children, one an in
FAINT and the other twelve. years old.
The women rushed from their house
to escape to the clearing, but the
smoke surrounding them they lost their
way and ran into the flames. Had
they remained in their dwelling house
at South Indian they. would have been
perfectly safe, as it was not touched
by the fire. Two Or three houses are
all that is left of E opSe thriving n,,las vii IL
hotel are all that remain Of Cassel-
man. The village sof Cheney is oblit-
Grated. Sixty of,5the gJnost destitute
were brought to this city this after
noon and the others are being provid-
ed for at farm houses and elsewhere.

FEVER IS SPREADING
THE RECORD OFF DAILY CASES
AGAIN BROKEN AT NEW
ORLEANS.
DEATH LIST is STILL LOW.
INCREASED AREA COVERED, hut
THE TYPE Is NO MORE MA
LIGNANT.
HARD TO MAINTAIN.
Health Authorities Have More Work
on Their Hands Than They
Can Accomplish.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Even as
early as o'clock this evening the day
proved a record-breaker, both as to the
number of new cases and the deaths.
The increase of cases today was not
unexpected. The weather had been
warm during the afternoon especially.
and the large territory the board of
health has to cover makes perfect
scrutiny impossible, and germs are
being distributed which, if the totality
of cases was fewer, would be easily
restrained. While the number of cases
under treatment today is in the neigh
borhood of $50, there are many houses
which have not yet been disinfected,
but in which the patients have been
declared well. Less restraint than
usual is imposed on inmates Of such
premises, and the result has been that
the number of cases has been 1ncreas-
ed But the total death rate is still
small in proportion to the number of
cases. For today five deaths and thir-
ty-nine new cases were reported. The
deaths are: Jean M. Coste, isolation
hospital; Emma We'll, 1921 Cambronne
(Carrolton); Adelina Rogiro, 1920 Hos
pital; Robert Perry, SS1 Laurel; M. p.
Brady, Jackson barracks. Two of the
new cases are in Albiers, making sever
that have appeared in that suburb. The
disease has apparently died out at
Ocean Springs.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct 6.-The cases Of
yellow fever here today reached the
100 mark The actual number at noon
was ninety mine. There were no deaths
reported today and only four new
cases. All the cases are in the old in
fected district. The relief work pro-
ceeded today with commendable rapid
ity Many in restitution were helped.
In some instances there were found
families who by reason of sickness of
members or by having their bread win
ner out Of work were without the least
bit of food in the house. Some very
touching appeals have reached the
committee from persons usually in good
circumstances, but who are now COM
PEELED to ask for assistance.
EDWARDS, Miss, Oct. 6-Dr. Dunn,
of the state board of health, tonight
gave out the following report: There
have been sixteen new cases of fever
today. Total deaths to date fifteen;
total cases to date in town and imme-
date country 366; total number of con-
valescent or discharged 205; total I'M
der treatment 106; seriously Ill, 8;
with black vomit, 1.
The report from Militia Youma is TO
the effect that there is one new case,
that of Mrs Smith. This makes SIX
in all at that place.
