REINDEER STRANGLED AT SEA.
Ont of Forty Starting from Finland
Bnt Fifteen Reach New York.


Seventeen reindeer were executed by
hanging on the voyage from Hamburg
Of the British steamer Glanton. which
re eached New York the other afternoon
after tempestuous voyage of IA days.
The rolling ship was their executioner.
Fifteen others survived the trip, but
one of them has broken kneecap.
which has been rudely bound in splints.
The Is are all that are left of herd
of 40 reindeer started from small
village in Finland more than a month
ago, destined for journey of more
than 10000 miles to the Klondike re-
gion. This journey involves two rail
road trips and two long sea voyages.
The reindeer are not part of Uncle
Sans plan for relieving the miners.
They were purchased by James Neil. an
old Klondiker, who believed there was
money in shipping reindeer to Inc land
of gold--not for meat, but as beasts of
burden. The Glanton was the only
vessel that could be secured 10 ship the
animals 10 New York. 1t has no stalls
for cattle and the reindeer We're tied to
stanchions. The Glanton steamed out
Of Hamburg into gale which rolled
the ship like barrel. Two of the rein
deer had their necks dislocaied before
the vessel had been out three hours, and
the next day three others wr"e exc
cutedin the same manner. Thr irth day
brought gale from the vt~ ward
which speedily produced five more dead
reindeer. In the gale of last 7 Thursday
six more were killed. and the legs of
three of these were fractured in half
a dozen places. John Soostmoinon, the
Finland careraker. is almost heart
broken over the death of his charges.

One of the best equipped systems of
railway in the United States is the Gin.
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road, pop
ularly known as the &c. H. & D." "This
line seemsto be enjoying the lions share
of Army and Navy travel. They have
recently put on through train between
Washington and Chicago, their principal
train leaving Washington at 11:45 a. m.
and arriving in Chicago the following
day at noon. They use the Baltimore &
Ohio system from Washington to Gin.
cinnati, where they connect with their
own system to Chicago. Some time ago
they reduced their time in runnig trains
between Chicago and Cincinnati to eight
hours, which is one of the fastest trips
made in this country. Their night ex.
press between Chicago and Cincinnati is
equipped with compartment cars that
are models of elegance and beauty. This
road caters to Army patronage and al
ways extends every accommodation pos
sible to officers travelling over their line
and it's no wonder that they get the Ser.
vice patronage. They offer to their pat
rons the best line between Washington
and Chicago, via Cincinnati, and especi.
ally the cities between Cincinnati and
Louisville and Chicago, Toledo or De.
troit. Mr.. D. G. Edwards, passenger
traffic manager of the road, at Cincin.
natl, Ohio, will be glad to give any addi.
tional information concerning the @. H.
& D Route to all who will address him"

CRUISERS ARE WEAK.
Roosevelt Says Many of Our War
ships Lack Efficient Batteries.
Progress IL So Rapid That New ia pid-
Firing Guns should Dispiace
Those In Present Use in
Our Navy.

Great interest has been taken in naval
circles in the comparison made by
Theodore Roosevelt. assistant secretary
of the navy, in report transmitted to
congress by Secretary Long of the ex-
cellence of the armament of the jap
anese cruiser Naniwa, wi tn the inferior
ity of the armaments on the United
States cruisers Philadelphia and Balti-
more. Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Progress is SO continuous now, es-
pecially in gums, that they have to be
renewed from time to time. The guns
of the San Francisco, Baltimore, Bos-
ton. Bennington, Concord and York.
town were very good ten years ago, but
they are not what our war ships ,hould
have now. These vessels have good
speed and fair coal capacity. The type,
machinery, and even the armor change
much more slowly than the guns. But
ell of these ships are distinctively in
ferior in armam ment to the modern ves-
sells of foreign powers, which have been
armed with the most recent type Of
gun. They are inferior, for insta nee,
to a German ship like the Kaiserin Au-
gusta. with her rapid-fire six-inch gums.
to a japanese ship like the Yoshino.
with her rapid-fire six-inch and FIVE
inch guns, and to all similar cruisers
newly armed in England and France.
ION the other hand, the Olympia. Gin
cinnati, Raleigh, Marblehead. Detroit
and Montgomery. as regards their
fighting capacity, are on a level with
foreign ships, although in some other
points, as. for example, coal capacity,
the Cincinnati and Raleigh are not
equal to the American ships 1 first
named. and coal capacity is very impor-
tant. Our frst-class battle ships and
armored cruisers are as well armored
as any other ships of their types in the
world, although on vessels of the In
diana class rapid-fire six-inch guns
should be substituted as quickly as pos
sible for slow-fre six-inch guns. But
the New York ought to have heavier
weapons in her rapid-fire batteries than
the four-inch guns she now carries
The navy department is changing the
armament of these vessels as fast as it
can. The Chicago, Philadelphia, New
ark and Atlanta are now being fitted
with new rapid-fire batteries. I have
no doubt congress will give us money
to go on with the change until our ves-
sells carry the finest of modern artil-
lery.
What is going on in China and the
unfriendliness of utterances in Europe.
especially among the continental pow
ers regarding America and the Monroe
doctrine, should be sufficient TO warn
all people that in the interest of peace.
no. less than the preservation of nation
al honor. we should go on in the work
of upbuilding the navy and should
spare no expense in bringing to the
highest point of efficiency the ships we
now have"

now in use are neat, attractive cottages,
painted white and with green blinds.
Everything in and around the buildings

the rooms with their white walls, well
kept floors, and clean spotless linen,
We're cheerful and attractive The en-
terprise is in every way successful and
worthy of high commentator.
