Rush work ON Revenue Cutters.

CLEVELAND, March 24.-The Globe
Ship-building Company to-day received an
inquiry from naval officials, asking when
the two revenue cutters being built for the
government at the Globe yard would be
completed, and urging as much haste, as
possible. A reply was made that they
would be ready for service in four weeks.
An extra force of men will be put to work
and ii is possible the boats may be com
pleted in less time than that. The vessels
in question are the Algonquin and the
Onondaga. They are each 2O5 feet long, 81
feet beam and II feet deep, and will nave
a speed of twenty-one miles an hour. Both
are equipped with torpedo ports. Captain
d. A. Bal, of the revenue cutter service,
who is in Cleveland, says the new boats
would be very valuable in case of war: Il
think the inquiry of the government ne
said concerning the two vessels is pre-
lminary to transfer of the lake revenue
cutter to the navy service. These boats
can be classed with the gunboaeB Newport,
Machias and Castine, now in the fleet at
Kew West.

missing men was continued at daybreak
this morning. All through the night men
kept zip the hunt. but were unable to do
much on account of the darkness and the
swift current that had to be crossed before
the wreck could be reached. 1t is impossible
to ascertain certainly that all were saved,
Tor there may be several still in the water,
but twenty-eight have been found and
brought to Columbus Many who were miss

turned up alive to-day. Some were found in
trees and some along the stream. The miss

hospital. Conductor A. l.. Franklin, of

said he cannot recover. ID. 4. Sparks, of

was so near that his cries for aid could be
heard above the roar of the waters. He
sat on a limb of the tree for thirteen hours
and was more dead than alive when rescued
this morning. He was almost insane wheE
