The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1898-03-10

superiority OF the Spanish navy over
that OF the United States. Comparison
OF the ships belonging to the two coun-
tries shows that In number. equipment
and size the American navy far sur
passes that possessed by Spain. 1t is
frequently said that the American war
ships are not ready for action, but the
officers at the navy department indig-
nantly deny the assertion and claim
that the American vessels and men are
prepared for any emergency. The Pc
layo is the only first-class battleship
owned by Spain. The United States
has four of the floating arsenals, and
the smallest one is 1,100 tons larger
than the Spanish battleship.
Before the Maine was destroyed the
United States and Spain had the same
number of second-class battleships, but
now the United States has only the
Texas belonging TO this class. The Nu-
mancia and the Victoria are the two
vessels of this class belonging to Spain.
OF the warships classed as seagoing
coast defenders the United States owns
six. The Spanish navy has none what
ever. In the armored cruiser class
Spain has the advantage, the New York
and the Brooklyn being the only two
armored cruisers possessed by this
country.

HAS BEEN TOO EXTENSIVE.
Civil Service Committees Report on the
Classified Service.


Washington, March Ex-senator
Pritchard, chairman Of the committee
on civil service. presented the report
of that committee on the recent inves-
tigation of the classified service en-
bodying the conclusions of the commit
tee. These conclusions are divided un.
der two heads as follows: First, that
the executive has the power to make
such notifications as may be found ad-
visable, and therefore no legislation Is
needed. 49,
Secondly. the committee is agreed
that the classification has been too ex-
tensive, and that certain places that
have been classified should be excluded
from classification, so that appoint
ments may be made TO them not
through examination. but at the pleas
ure of the head of the department or
bureau The committee. therefore, Is
of the opinion that the president should
make certain notifications in the exist
ing civil service rules and should re-
store to the heads of departments and
the heads of bureaus the appointment
of certain classes of officials. The COM
mittee. however, recognizes that its
province in this is purely advisory.
since il has no legislation to propose.

One Boy Ii Dead and Another Fatally
Wounded.


Lancaster, Pa, March l0.-Roy Geh-
rig of Milton. Pa. shot and perhaps
fatally wounded VIII b. Davis OF st.
Clair, Pa. at MIllersville and then
killed himself. The boys were pupils
of Pierce's business college at Philadel-
phia. and went to Millersville TO call
upon two lady students at the normal
school there. They returned TO the
village about 10 o'clock at night and.
securing a room at Hoak's hotel, re-
tired Immediately. Early in the morn
ing the inmates Of the place were star
tied by a fussilade of pistol shots and
a moment later Davis come running
downstairs with blood gushing from
several wounds in the face. Another
shot was heard, followed by the sound
OF a body falling to the floor. Davis
ran into the barron, exclaiming: MY
chum shot me-"
Davis was in bed when Gehrig, who
was walking about the room. drew a
pistol and fired three times In quick
succession at Davis. One bullet struck
him in the temple. another entered his
upper lip and came out under the ear.
and the other struck him in the right
wrist Those who rushed to the room
where the tragedy occurred found Geh-
rig lying on the floor with bullet hole
in his left temple. He died without re-
gaining consciousness. A note written
by Gehrig and found near his body
gives his explanation Of the tragedy
I'VE are dead in love with Alice
Cummings and Annie Holmes. and not
being able TO see them, and they keep
ing away from US. we resolved to take
our lives. My name is Roy Gehrig OF
Miltonsu Pa. and the little fellow Is
William Davis OF St Clair. Please no
tify our parents at once. We would like
10 be cremated SO notify our parents
at once"
Davis says he - VS. nothing OF the
note and denies - was any compact
TO commit suicide From what can be
learned II seems that Gehrig, who was
introduced to the ladies by Davis, was
desperately in love with Miss Cum
mings and that he and Davis had dis
pute over her Gehrig then, IT is sup
posed, decided TO kill Davis and then
take his own life.

COMMANDERS BRowNsON SAILS.
His Mission Is to Look Out for Warships
That Are for Sale.


New York. March 1O.-Commander
w. III. Bronwson, U. S. N, sailed for
Southampton on the American line
steamship st. Paul He said to a re-
porter: II am going to England under
orders direct from the navy depart
ment not from the president. My mis-
sion is to prepare for the exigencies of
the situation. and to see what can be
had and what can be done in case OF
war the possibilities of which i think
are very remote. The vote of $50 600
shows our readiness to enter upon Wig
orous preparations, and that in itself
will have the effect of making war un-
likely. 1 may be absent a month. and
perhaps longer. 1 expect to be two
weeks in London, but i cannot tell
where l shall go after reaching Eng
land"
Commander Brownson was asked
whether he intended visiting the yards

sured," said he, that they won't sell
me any trash"

business trip. Mr.. Cramp refused to
talk.
A cablegram from London says:

enteen indictments for murder hanging
over them and thirty-eight for feloni-
ously wounding. The bond was con-
tinued as requested. District Attorney
Martin says he has not decided what
to do with these other cases. The pros
ecuting committee. it is said, will insist
upon further prosecution.
Details of the Tragedy.
The Lattimer tragedy was the most
sensational incident that ever grew out
of a labor strike in the United States.
The incidents preceding the tragedy
were not OF a sensational nature-in
fact the strike OF anthracite coal min
ers in August. 1897, was thought OF
such little interest to the general pub
lie that the various news agents had
ignored il entirely. The strikers had
belonged to no trade union, but quit
work to protest against the conditions
under which they were employed and
the rate OF wages paid. On Sept. sew
eral hundred of the strikers began a
marching campaign similar to that In
progress at the same time in Illinois
among the bituminous coal miners.
They marched from mine to mine and
urged the men at work to Join them.
Operators Send for sheriff.
In response to many kilograms from
the coal barons the sheriff swore in
eighty-two deputies. On Sept. 10 the
sheriff and his deputies met several
hundred strikers in the highway near
Lattimer. and, after a moments par
leying, some one gave orders to fire.
The marchers were unarmed. After the
first deadly volley was fired into their
ranks the miners turned and fed. The
deputies kept up their shooting, how
ever. and when the battle had ended
not a deputy sheriff had so much as a
scratch. but nineteen miners lay dead
on the ground and thirty-five had been
wounded. On investigation 1t was found
that many of the dead and injured had
been shot in the back.
