tion of the Kind.
For tho men -of-war's men who are dis
nbled in naval engagements there have
been provided five hospitals, where the
damage lone by shot and shell may be
repaired under tho most favorable condi-
tons. At Pensacola there is a rather
small one, at Norfolk there is one of coed
size, In Brooklyn thcro is the largest,
while at Boston and Portsmouth there are
also naval hospitals.
Tho New York Naval hospital, which
is situated just outside tho Brooklyn navy
yard, has recently been enlarged by the
addition of q new wing which doubles its
capacity and makes it one of the NEST
complete institutions Of tho Kind in the
world.
Tho buildings have been in use for a
naval hospital for 90 years or more, and
the entire plant, without the land, is esti-
mated to be worth at least $500, COO. Tho
hospital grounds used to be a part Of the
navy yard, but were separated from the
yard when the government sold to Brook
Ign the site of the Wallabout market.
Medical Director Woods, who is in
charge with tho rank Of captain, entered
the service at this same place in 1861.

GAS EXPLOSION.
Supreme Court Room In National Cap
itol Wrecked.

Aso4 "HeNHe0s
Washington, Nov. SAN explosion
and fire at 5:l3 this afternoon wrecked
the supreme-court room and the rooms
Immediately adjoining it on the main
door Of the capitol. The damage is
enormous. The entire central eastern
rart of the great marble pile from the
main floor to the subterranean base.
ment, practically is a mass of ruins.
The force OF the explosion was so heavy
that the coping stones on the outer
walls, just east of the point where the
explosion occurred, were bulged out
nearly two inches, and locked doors
were forced open from their hinges
quite $50 feet from the scene of it.
Fire followed the explosion so quickly
as to eeem practically simultaneous
with it.
The explosion shook the immense
structure to it's foundations, and was
heard several squares from the capitol.
1t occurred in small room tightly
Enclosed by heavy stone walls in the
subterranean basement, Immediately
below the main entrance to the old
capitol building. In this room was
500-light gas meter. which was fed by
a four-inch main. Very little gas is
used in that part Of the building. but
at the time of the explosion the gas had
not been turned off at the meter. The
meter itself was wrecked, and the gas
pouring from the main caught fire.
The flame originating from the explo-
sion darted up the shaft of the elevator,
which had been completely destroyed
by the force Of the explosion, and COM
municated with the record-room Of the
supreme court, the Office of the mar
shall OF the court and the supreme court
library.
Before the flames could be subdued,
the priceless documents in the record
room had been almost totally destroyed.
and serious damage had been done in
the marshaPs Office and some minor
rooms in the immediate vicinity.
The library Of the supreme court. To-
Gated Immediately beneath the SUI
preme court room, was badly damaged
by fire, smoke and water, practically
destroying the great collection of law
reference books. The library contained
about 10000 volumes and was used not
only by the justices of the supreme
court but by members of congress and
lawyers practicing before the supreme
court.
The most serious damages, in the
opinion of the justices of the supreme
court. is to the records stored in the
sub-basement. These included all Of
the records of cases and opinions rem.
dered by the fathers OF the judiciary Of
the government. Apparently the docu-
destroyed or so badly damaged by fire
and water as to be useless.

UNDER A FALLEN ROOF.
Collapse of Theatre Building in De-
troit-Fifteen w orkmen Killed.

SoIldpse Ol u IN D6-
troit-Fifteen w orkmen Killed.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. S.-The new
five-story Wonderland theater building
is tonight in hopeless state of col
lapse, and 10 or more lives have been
sacrificed by an appalling accident
which occurred there this afternoon.
Shortly before . O'Clock, while some
80 men were at work in various parts
of the half-finished theater portion of
the structure, the roof fell in without a
seconds warning. Nearly every work.
man was carried down into the theater
pitt The top gallery was crushed
down upon the lower gallery, forming a
sort of fatal hillside, down which slid
broken steel girders, planks, timbers,
brick and great quantity Of cement
from the roof, and carrying along a
struggling company Of men into the pit
below. very few of whom escaped in
jury. The front wall of the building
remained practically intact. but the
east side wall bulged out and buckled
threateningly.
Notwithstanding the latter danger,
the work of rescuing the injured and
taking out the dead was rushed, and
good progress made until 6:l5, when
the upper portion of the east wall fell,
shower OF bricks striking around the
crowd of laborers, officers and newspa-
per men. extinguishing the temporary
electric lights and causing stampede
for the street. Fortunately none of
those who were struck by the second
downfall was seriously injured, al.
though several we're precipitated into
the basement through the steel hoist,
over which only a few loose planks
were laid. Mayor MaybuIy and other
city officials, who were ON the scene.
thereupon decided not to further i'm
peril life in order to save dead bodies,
and the work was suspended until to-
morrow.
When the crash occurred two bodies
were visible in the debris, but they
were abandoned for the present. The
dead are:
August Sallach, George ". White,
Theodore Mertens, Martin Shafter,
Cornelius McArron, James Megerschke,
August Jsnuschowski. John Greselski.
Two other bodies had been discovered
in the debris at the time of the second
crash.
The missing are; Peter Connors,
Jacob Lewen, Frank Wolf, - Belts
and O.. Mnllin..
Tweleeotten wnrkmen were serious
ly.injhredl. Offtiiese 1t is feared that
Edward Eaher and j.. W. Wilson will
die.
The disaster ID supposed to have been
due to the use of faulty iron beams in
constructing the supports for the very
heavy roof.

My fears were Immediately diverted
from myself, for | saw that | had

came persuaded that some dreadful
danger threatened the pavilion. 1t re-
Quired some nerve to issue forth into
the black and intricate thicket which
surrounded and overhung the den; but
! CROPPED my way to the links, drench-
ed with rain, beaten upon and deafen-
ed by the gusts, and fearing at every
step to lay my hand upon some Turk
ing adversary.
For the rest of the night, which
seemed Unfortunately long. l patroled
the vicinity of the pavilion, without
seeing a living creature or hearing
any noise but the concert of the wind
the sea and the rain. A light in the

IMPERIAL AMERICA.
The Broadening of the Popular View
Brought About by the War.

From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat: Every process Of cur national
thought and action has been marvel
ously quickened, just as the Roman
intellect was fired when Rome was eX~
panded from a municipality into an
empire. Throughout the length and
breadth of this land petty politics is
losing its wonted SAVIOR for the aver
age American. Why should be trouble
his head about p2rochial affairs when
he is confronted with questions affect
ing the fate of great dependencies Ell
Their at our own doors or at the antip-
odes; why should he lie awake about
clans when any hour may bring news
decisive of the fate of an army or of
a fleet of battleships on which the
hopes of the country rest? This was
shown by telegram addressed to the
Tlmes-Democrat on Sunday last from a
little village in Mississippi The tele-
gram read as follows: Please wire
US Immediately, at our expense, the ex-
act situation in the Philippines and the
whereabouts of SIMPSONS and Schley's
fleets; also what attitude France is as
Stunning in the execution of the neutral
ity laws in Martinique 1t requires
no very vivid imagination to realize
the scene when the telegram was sent
Evidently there had been a long and
thorough discussion of all the tremen-
Il
try, and, at last, the anxiety TO know
the latest developments became uncon-
trollable, and the telegraph was in
vOked. The mental attitude of this
Mississippi hamlet is universal, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
lakes to the gulf. 1t means that TO-
000 900 of Anglo-Saxons have awaken
ed to the fact that there is other bust
ness in life besides raising crops, man
ipulating stocks and 'scalping" mar
ketS. We have sometimes forgotten
that nations are not great because they
are rich, and that, in the eternal order
of things, they can only be permanent
ly rich because they are great The
lesson will not be forgotten in our
time. The real basis of our Astounding
prosperity in recent years must be
found in the limitless devotion with
which millions of Americans. in the
four terrible years, laid everything on
the altar of their political principles.
Now once more the foundation of our
national life is TO be widened and
strengthened not by war between
brother and brother, but between the
reunited nation and a power that
stands for all the most reactionary
methods and policies of the Bourbcp
school Of thought and action.
