No Orders to schley us Yet.

WASHINGTON, April 2. - Constant
movements Of the officials, numberless
conferences and a large congressional
contingent that was on hand made the
day busy one at the navy depart
ment. Secretary Long and Assistant
secretary Roosevelt were kept busy in
conference with the chiefs of bureaus
and the senators and representatives.
There were, however, no new or SEN
satlonal developments in the situation.
Secretary Long said there had been
no orders as yet issued to the flying
squadron, now at Hampton Roads
The department is taking active steps
to secure a number Of the smaller class
OF ships. The purchase of two tie
Creole, belonging to a line running out
of New York, and the yacht Josephine,
has been consummated, while orders
have been telegraphed to agents Of
the government to purchase the yacht
Sovereign, belonging to a New York
man, and the Lebanon The Saturn
and the Ira are all ready. The latter
three are golfers, and will be used if
necessary, to accompany the fleets and
carry extra supplies of coal. The Sat-
urn, it is understood, has been prac-
tically secured by the department, and
will be delivered to it's agents in New
York next week. The Creole will be
used as hospital ship.
Urgent Need.
There will be urgent need of vessels
Of the collier class, If the government
fails to secure any foreign coaling sta

The officials were busy today in tele-

Of
the vessels carrying capacity and other
details necessary for intelligent action
on the subject.
The action Of the senate yesterday
In refusing to sanction the purchase
from Denmark of the island of st.
Thomas as a coaling station was a
source of much regret to the officials
of the department Though the naval
authorities have not yet abandoned
hope of securing a coal station.
Capt. Bradford, the chief Of the bu-
reau of equipment in the navy depart
ment, was again in conference with
Secretary Roosevelt today, when this
question was under consideration.
1t was reported at the navy depart
ment today that a determination had
been reached for the Inauguration by
the government, in conjunction with
the state naval militia organizations,
of a number Of signal stations along
the coast, by which the arrival of for
eign vessels may be promptly reported.
The naval organizations of some of
the states have heretofore worked
along this line, and this will be of ma
terial assistance to the government in
the work about to be undertaken. The
matter, however, said one official to-
day, is in rather O chaotic condition.
as the plans have not been perfected.
Capt. Miller, of the New York naval
reserve, was at the navy department
today and saw q number Of the of

is interested.

case was heard in the municipal court
it developed Gilhully had ONE to ST.
Paul from Winnipeg in search of his
wife, who had eloped with Willows,
taking her two young children with
her.
Upon furnishing sufficient evidence Of
his claims Gilhully was released and
warrants were issued for Willows and
Mrs, Gilhully, who were living together
In the Presley block on East Third
street. The pair was arrested by Lieut.
Pothen and Sergeant Ross and lodged
in the county jail.
While making the arrests in the
Presley block the officers noticed a lot
of empty butter jars, half a dozen egg
cases and a number of milk cans in
Willows room. The casual observance
solved mystery which had puzzled the
authorities for weeks.
Willows had worked for the Crescent
Creamery company a short time and
for a month before he attracted the at
tention of the police property had
nightly disappeared from the ware
rooms of the creamery company. Spec
lal watch had been kept on the place.
but no clue could be obtained to the
thief
Investigation by Lieut.. Pothen and
j., Sergt. Ross pointed strongly to VIII
lows as the creamery burglar, and
when the charge preferred against him
by Gilhully was dismissed upon tech
nical grounds, the young man was i'm
mediately rearrested on the charge Of
burglary. The evidence proved him
guilty and Willows was sentenced to
the workhouse for ninety days.
After serving his sentence Willows
secured employment at his trade-Nf
tinsmith at the st. Paul & Duluth rail-
| road shops. During this time Willows
boarded with an East st. Paul hotel
keeper, who soon complained to the
police regarding Willows course to-
wards his fOurteen-year-old daughter.
Willows was alleged to have taken the
girl from one Of the public schools by
representing himself as her brother,
but the police could take no action in
this case. though for some time the
young fellow was under surveillance

police claim that he. was engaged in
systematic robbery during his stay

Goss went to Chicago to recover the
sealskin cloaks, which it is said were
planted in the Windy City, but an
alleged confederate Of Willows, who
was also under arrest in Chicago, was

The sallow or blotched complexion, heavy
eyes and dark circles under them, the little
wrinkles that gradually creep around the
corners of her eyes and mouth and the
general look of listlessness and despond-
ency will tell the story. Special troubles
of this kind are too frequently neglected
because the natural and proper 1nodesty of
women keeps them from consulting the
average run of physicians. These men,
because they are without Inherent de1icacy

with Jacks. The latter is said in reality
to be George c. Brown, once chief of

MRS. LEDEGAR's SENTENCE.
VIII Go to Como for Sixty Days
Unless an Appeal Is Success

Mrs. Rose Ledegar, who was convicted Of
setting vicious bull dog upon Ole Farmstat
was yesterday sentenced to the workhouse for
sixty days. A motion for a stay of execu-
ton was granted the woman, pending an ar
gument which must be made within ten days.
for the purpose of appealing the case to the
supreme court.
When Judge Orr sentenced the woman her
bv reouestng that she he admitted d to hail
during the stay. The court was of the opin-
ion that Mrs. Ledegar would have to spend
the intervening time in Jail, as she was I'M
der sentence, but, upon consultation of the
law, Judge Orr was convinced that it was
within his authority to fix bail. The bond
was fixed at $3.50.
The case grew out Of an attack on Ole
Farmstat in a confectionery store conducted
by the Ledegar woman, on East Seventh
street. Farmstat and the woman had some
dispute over the payment for a piece of to-
bacco. when a scuffle ensued, during which
Farmstat was badly bitten by Mrs. Ledegar' s
bulldog. The woman charged with as
sault and battery and convicted by a jury
last week.
