Another drowning occurred at Oregon
City yesterday morning at o'clock,
when Ed. Brown and Ed. Boyles acci-
dentally went over the falls in rowboat.
Brown jumped out of the boat on
bench of rock and saved himself, while
Boyles went over the falls. The latter
resided in Oregon City and was 25 years
old.
Yesterday Otto Grazer, son of Cass
Grazer, died at the family home on Pine
Ridge, near Dufur. The young man was

fellow and his death came as a shock to
his parents, who had many plans for his
future.

informed Lieutenant Bartell that he

be present at the armory each evening
during the remainder OF the week a

heavy rainfall would be more welcome
than anything that could make its ap-

Commander William Swift Of the Ordnance
Department, Brooklyn Navy Yard. said yester-
day that the guns sent from Washington for the
purpose of arminR, among other vessels. the
auxiliary cruisers, had not arrived.
"The transportation Of tho guns you speak
Of" he said. " Is simply In pursuance OF q plan
decided upon nearly two years ago. ltwas then
thought best that all the ordnance of tho depart
mont should be got into shape so that II could be
pressed into service quickly should the occasion
arise. 1t was also decided that the largest part
OF the ordnance should he shipped to the New
York yard, Inasmuch as this Is the metropolis
OF the nation and because it 10 tho place where
the greatest amount Of ammunition and guns
would probably DO needed in cnsc OF hostilities.
The guns you speak OF IRE good for use on any
warship Of the class OF the Chicago. for In
stance, or the Atlanta, now hero undergoing
repairs. No orders have been issued with re-
gard to placing them upon merchant ships. I
do not know anything about the arrangements
on the American line ships. Before the guns
could be mounted I would have to go over the
ships and see what arrangements existed for
tho emplaccinent of the guns.
"One word as to the unusual activity
bisiI. No hurry orders have been issued to any
one having contracts for supplying gums and
s s%%S GontTset tSr are are S SShS, on IN 4 their sfr' contracts e%aT sas.
It Is almost impossible to draw a contract in
such a way that the contractor cannot get more
time and then waiting for n time and delivering
the remainder. Several contractors who are
making guns and supplying ammunition have
taken advantage of their contracts to fall he
hind on their work. These men, within the past
few months, have been told by the department
that this thing would be tolerated no longer and
that they would have to finish their. work at
once. These are all the hurry orders that have
been issued. As to new orders. that is absurd.
because no appropriations have been made for
new work.
LET me also add this: In all Of my private
advices from Washington. there has been
nothing in tho shape of emergency orders or
suggestions. 1t Is felt by tho department that
the situation 10 somewhat serious, but I have
received nothing to indicate that anything Ike
war is looked upon as a possibility by tho Navy

THE DELAWARE RIVER FORTS.
Two Carloads or Explosives Sent to Them
The River Well Fortified.

PHILADELPmA, Feb. 2S.-Two carloads OF
torpedoes and high explosives for the defence
of Philadelphia arrived this morning Mt Della
York Arsenal to Fort Delaware. on Pea Patch
Island. and Fort Mott. at Firms Point, and i'm
mediately unloaded and transported by steamer
to their destination. Experts skilled in the hand
ling of these deadly articles of war were on
hand to receive them, and they are now being
made ready for any emergency that may arise.
The Government is making all possible haste
to stock the forts along tho Delaware with largo
quantities Of explosives and projectiles, and
though the utmost activity prevails in this re-
spect. it is being conducted with the greatest
secrecy. Strict orders have been issued that no
ono shall he permitted to set foot inside Fort
Mott without an order from tho Secretary of
War, and the same order covers Fort Delaware.
These forts are forty-tive miles below the city,
delphia. Fort Mott mounts six 10-inch disap-
pearing guns. Behind u breastwork of sand and
concrete forty feet thick. they are ready to hurl
half-ton projectiles. eleven miles down the river
to meet tho foe. and naval authorities concede
that nothing in the shape of u warship could
pass them. But the Government is not satisfied
on this point. and q large force of engineers is
at work erecting two more OF these weapons.
City, a distance of two and a half miles. show
ing their immense size and strength.
AS soon as these guns are in position the bat
tory of eight will he able to send n broadside of
hardened stcel. Weighing four tons.
The mortar battery In course Of erection at
Delaware City Is another object OF interest Mt
this time, and between It and Fort Mott matters
could be made iively for any invading craft. as
the latter would send its terrible projectiles
crashing through it.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The survivors of tho
Maine will not be sent to sea for some time.
Orders have been issued for sending those of
the Names crew at Key West to New York by
tho next Mallory line steamer. The department
thinks that the men should have a sufficient
length of time to recover from their terrible ex-
perience before going to sea again. and will
probably distribute them on receiving ships
and at shore s%tations. Tho Auditor of the
Navy Department has decided not to permit the
payment to relatives of allowances for February,
made by the enlisted mon who were killed In
the Maine, until he has received the au-
thority Of Congress to do so. When tho
disaster occurred, fifteen days allowance hal
been earned, but the Auditor will not s%al.ctiou.

vivors for February will be paid. This telegram
from the commandant of The Key West naval
station about the remains Of seamen who were

FALL RIVER, Mass. Feb. 2s.-One week ago
to-day the gates of tho King Philip Mills were
thrown open, md the striking operatives had
IN opportunity to return to their places. Wenv-
ers. carders, and others who had been forced
into idleness by the strike of tho spinners went
to work. The mule spinncrs returned also, for
their association had declared the strike at an
end. Tho ring spinners alone remained out and
little notice was taken OF them, because it was
thought that they would soon hasten to the
frames. They have no union. and since they
opened tho strike many weeks ago they have
depended upon their friends Tor assistance.
This fact led to the belief that they could not
stay out.
They have remained out over q weak, and by
so doing have shown heir power. To-day tho
mills IRE as badly crippled as ever. All Of tho
mule spinncrs arc at work. but less than one.
third OF the other departments are running AZ
there is a shortage of nlling. The ring spinners
eSntend that they ere right. and they say thar
seemed at mn end will be prolonged. At ali the
other mills the strong unions are awaiting the
result of tho New Bedford strike, by which their
future action will be determined.
