The ceremony of transfer today keeps the

mander Hams desired. The arrangements
were effected after a consultation with the
naval authorities.
Tomorrow morning at IL 80 o'clock there
will be a general muster of the District

the calling of the crew TO quarters
the orders of the Secretary OF the
Navy authorizing Commander Hams to

Then the articles of war will be read and
the bugle will be sounded, notifying the

thirteen pieces Will play patriotic airs and
the stars and stripes will be run up to their
proper place.

will be practiced on board the Fern, and Il
is expected that a high degree of efficiency
will shortly be reached.

DAVIS TRIAL BOARD DISSOLVED.
May Take Some Time to Repair Dis
nIIed TnrpedO Boat.

News of the fatal termination Of Thurs
days trial trip of the torpedo boat Davis
came to the Navy Department yesterday
in the shape of the following telegram to
Secretary Long from the president of the
trial board:
CLIFTON, Ore, October 90
Secretary of Navy, Washington:
Torpedo boat Davis blew UP forward
boiler, scal1ng seven firemen badly. Time
of repairs indefinite. Request authority
for board to adjourn and return to regular
stations. (Signed) DRAKE"
Secretary Long Immediately returned the
following answer:
Lieutenant Commander Franklin ]. Drake,
Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works, Portland,
Report disaster to Davis received. De-
partment deeply deplores death of men on
board. Trial board is hereby dissolved.
Report particulars by mail.
"(Signed) LONG.
The following telegram was also address
ed to the contractors who built the boat:
Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works, Portland,
Ore:
The department regrets exceedingly the
accident to the Davis and loss sustained by
you. (Signed) LONG"
The Davis at the time of the accident was
not the property of the United States gov
ernment, but was In the hands of the con-
tractors. whose crew was on the boat. No
one representing the government. beyond
the members of the trial board, was on the
boat and the firemen whose lives were lost
were not in the navy.
The Davis was fitted with water-tube
boilers of the English Thorneycroft type,
involving the use of curved tubes connect
ing upper and lower water and steam
drums. From the meager details which
have reached here the engineers believe
that one or more of these tubes. under the
influence Of the tremendous pressure to
which the boat was keyed up for her trial
trip, pulled away from one of the drums.
The leak so caused would be sufficient to
fill the small fire room with scaldng steam
in a few seconds. Possibly contributing
cause to the accident was the lack Of
water, resulting in the overheating and
weakening Of the top of the tubes.
Just such an accident, though, fortunate
ly, without so fatal termination, was sus-
tained by the torpedo boat Mackenzie dur
ing her trial trip on the Delaware some
months ago. Using boiler of generally
similar design, the great French battle ship
Jaureguiberry sustained a frightfui acci-
dent on June .. 1896 One of the tubes,
about four inches in diameter, of the DIAL.
lest boilers, split, throwing several other
tubes out of place and fatally scading
score of men. The accident to the Davis
is greatly regretted at the Navy Depart
ment, for the inspectors had reported that
the boat was well built and likely to fill
all requirements.

A dispatch from San Juan de Porto Rico
says: Considerable political excitement pre-
walls here owing to the fact that the auton-
omst government officials elected last
March are continued by Maj. Gen. Brooke
in their respective offices. Their political
opponents suggest public demonstrations
against such continuance.
Investigation by the American authorities,
however, has led to the conclusion that they
are all men of excellent standing and that
their retention in office will be the best way

this cabinet will act under the control OF

be continued, partisan politics being elm
mated.

VITAL STATISTICS
Report of District Health Officer for
Past Year.
COMPARISON WITHPREVIOUS RECORDS
The Absence of Annual Census Pre-
vents Accurate Analysis.
G. z n ERAL DEATH r ATE

DR. VIM. c. Woodward. the District
health officer, today submitted to the Com
missioners his annual report, being state
ment of the operations of his department
during the year ended June 30, 1898.
1t is explained by DIR. Woodwa that the
vital statistics for the period covered by
his report are based upon an estimated
population OF 191 .47S whites and SS,772 col
ored. a total of $50 80. This estimate was
made by determining the ratio of increase
between previous censuSes and applying
this ratio to the police census of March,
1897. While by this method a reasonably
accurate basis can be secured for the cal
culatiOn of death rates, it is manifest. DR..
Woodward says, that it cannot be applied
so as to afford any information to
changes in the composition of the Dopula
tion. A statement of such changes cannot
be made until another census has been
taken. This limitation upon the value of
figures, secured by estimation instead of by
actual enumeration, prevents any very de-
tailed analysis of mortality returns with
reference to the various factors in the pop
ulation.
There occurred during the year 5,415
deaths, being 322 less than were registered
in 1861. of the decedents 29I3 were
white and 2,442 colored. The death rates
We're. therefore. as follows: For the

been o11, daily average of 1.56. In view
of the fact that not more than 40 per cent
of such complaints have been found upon

may be regarded as having been reasonably
satisfactory, thinks the health officer.

Zymotic Diseases.

The following interesting statistics are
given: Entire mortality from Zymotic dis
eases. S.i2. being 135 less than that of the
preceding year and 800 less than in 1886.
Among the whites the death rate was 2.3S
and among the colored 4.91. There were
4sI deaths in this class among children un-
der five years old.
The diseases chiefly responsible for this
mortality were diarrhoeal diseases, dipth-
iberia, typhoid fever, Whooping cough and
grip. From diarrhoeal diseases there were
80 deaths, giving a death rate of LA per
1000; from diphtheria, $50 deaths death
rate of 40; from typhoid fever, 130 deaths,
Il death rate of .46. from typho-nalarial
fever, so-called, five deaths, death rate of
.02; from maiarial fevers, thirty-eight
deaths, death rate of .13; from whooping
cough, eIghty-fOur deaths, a death rate of
80, and from grip, forty deaths, a death
rate Of II. There was a decrease of thirty
nine as compared with last year in the
mortality from diarrhoeai diseases; of
seventeen from typhoid fever, of one from
typho-malarial % fever, of thirteen from
malar1al fevers. and of seventy-eight from
grip; but the number of deaths from diph-
therlh shows an increase OF twenty: from
whooping cough, an increase of nineteen.
from scarlet fever, an increase of twelve
and from measles, an increase of seven
