This places the road engines under
1000 and the yard engines from 1000
up. A space is left between the differ
ent classes of engines fer the purpose
of having unused numbers for use in
case of additional engines of the differ
ent classes These different classes will
each be classified according to the size
of the cylinders in use on the engines.
The different sizes of cylinders in use
on different engines are IA. 10, Is, II,
IS, 10, 20, nd 81 inch, and in each class
the engines with the smalle st cylinders
will receive the lowest numbers in that
class and the eng mes with the largest
cylinder will receive the highest num-
bers in their class. For instance an 8
wheel engine with IA inch cylinders
will be numbered No. l and an 8 wheel
engine with 81 inch cylinders will be
numbered at present 1872.
The old numbers on the engines will
be used as much as be possible. For
instance an engine now numbered 135 if
it be +, in the 200 class the first figure
will be changed and it will be 235.
When the REMEMBERING is completed
it will be great saving of time and
trouble to all connected with the ms
chsnical department and by simply
knowing the mum Der of an engine it
can be told how many drivers it has
and what the size of the cylinder is.
The work of renum boring the en-.
gines will commence April Ist and be,
fore April 10 all yard engines will BE-
remembered and the work finished by
April 20 so that after that date every
engine will have been REMEMBERED ani
| classified.

Texas Stock Rush

stock cars, to be used by the Santa Fe
for transporting stock from Texas to
points in Oklahoma. Every available
stock car on the road has been called
into service and has been ordered to
Purcell and from there over the G. G
& S. F.
The transfer of stock has been going
ste ably on and has kept the road busy
furnishing cars. AS yet the supply OF
cars has met the demand. but if th e
supposed rush comes, It will be likely
to cause car famine.

has a bearing on the question of the

LOSS OF AN OCEAN LINER
Unknown Steamer Sank After Hitting ap
Iceberg
Disaster Occurred in the Straits Of
Belle Isle, but No Reliable In
formation Yet Reached.

ST. JOHNS, n. F.. August 5.-The mall
steamer Virginia Lake arrived at Tilt Cove,
on West bay, go miles from here, at day.
light. bringing certain confederation OF the
reported loss of an ocean liner in the Straits
ofof Belle Isle.
A fisherman at Noddy bay reported that
he saw q steamer collide with an iceberg
and sink soon after. The report is gener-
ally believed, but nothing reliable is OBJ
tainable.
The fisherman said that the steamer look
ed like a passenger ship, and he could see
the people trying to launch the boats, but
she sank before they could do anything.
The Strait of Belle Isle lies between New
foundland and Labrador and is the most
northern of the two channels which con-
meet the Gulf of st. Lawrence with the
Atlantic ocean. 1t is twelve miles wide,
and navigation in it is reputed to be I'M
safe. 1t is not the route taken by passen-
ger liners usually. Austin Baldwin & Com
pany, the New York agents of the Allan
line of steamers, said today that they were
sure it was not one of their steamers which
was lost While they did not positively
know the route taken by their steamers.
1t was known that they never went by the
Straits of Belle Isle. The only other Mon
treal passenger line of steamers they knew
of was the Donaldson line. They believed
that passenger boats never went by that
route, and that il could not have been a
passenger liner, as reported.

SPEED OF THE FARRAGUT
She Will Eclipse any Naval Vessel in the
World.
Her Preliminary Trip shows ThH
She May Run Over 30 Knots
Hour.

CHICAGO. August "a special TO the
Tribune from San Francisco says:
The new torpedo boat destroyer Farragut,
built according to designs OF and by the
Union iron works. promises to be the fast
est craft ever constructed in America or
plying American waters and will eclipse
any naval vessel in the world. This has
been indicated in the first run IL has ever
made.
1t was merely preliminary to the trial
trip which is to occur next Monday. II is
the intention of the builders to endeavor TO
run thirty knots, which speed the govern
ment requires the boat shall make. The
Farragut did not go over the government
course in the first run, but sped over the
waters OF the lower bay. The engines are
up to the expectations of the builders, for
they developed 3.oo0-horsepower of the re-
quired $780, which is considered an extra
ordinary performance, the engines being
run at 200 revolutions a minute.
The Farragut attained a speed of twenty
knots an hour at this half driving and.
therefore, it's builders feel sure that IL will
run over thirty knots.
Capt. Minor Goodall was in charge of the
wheel and Robert Forsythe, chief engineer
of the Union iron works, was in charge OF
the engines.

T EE TO RETIRE
sayers, Dockery and Pitney Will Not Run
Again for Congress.
They Want to BE Governors of Their
Respective States-0nc is
Nominated.

Three prominent members of the House
committee on appropriations will give up
their seats in the next Congress to strive
for gubernatorial honors. They are Mr..
Sayers of Texas. Mr.. Dockery of Missouri
and Mr.. Pitney of New Jersey.
Mr.. Sayers was nominated yesterday for
governor and will undoubtedly be elected.
Nomination for governor in Texas carries
election, If the nominee is a democrat. Mr.
Dockery has not yet won his nomination for
governor of Missouri, but he has burned
his congressional bridges behind him. His
successor was selected by the democrats Of
his district yesterday. The new candidate
is Mr.. Dougherty, who won his nomination
after a hard struggle with several am
bilious democrats of the district, but Mr..
Dockery only sat on the fence and watched
the fun.
Mr.. Pitney is just laying his pipes for the
governorship, and preliminary has an
nounced his withdrawal from the congress
sional campaign, as heretofore published In
The Star. He is expected to make a strong
race for the nomination. He is young, ex
ceedingly ambitious, a man of great energy
and has wealthy and influential friends
These three men will be very much miss
ed in the next Congress, especially in the
preparation and consideration of appropria-
ton bills. Mr.. Sayers and Mr.. Dockery are
the mainstays of the democrats on the ap-
trusted by their colleagues with unlimited
confidence. They watched the expenditures
OF the government with unceasing vigil
lance, and whenever they Endorsed an item
of appropriation in a bill their Judgment
was satisfactory to the democrats If they
opposed an appropriation they could bring
the party into line back of them unQues-
tioningly and solidly.

The Secretary of War gave out the fol-
lowing correspondence late yesterday af-
ternoon:
SANTIAGO, July 23, 1898.
My Dear Mr.. Secretary: 1 am writing
with the knowledge and approval CT Gen.
Wheeler. We earnestly hope that you will
send us-most of the regulars, and, at any
rate, the cavalry division, including the
Rough Riders, who are as good as any regu-
lars and three times as good as any state
troops-to Porto Rico. There are / 500 eff
fective men in this division; if those who
were left behind were joined to them. we
could land at Porto Rico in this cavalry
division close to 1000 men, who would be
worth, easily, any 10000 National Guards
armed with black powder, Springfield or
ether archaic weapons. Very respec. fully.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The following reply was cabled 10 Col
Roosevelt yesterday:
Your letter of 23d is received. The rcp-
ular army, the volunteer army and the
Rough Riders have done well, but l sug-
gest that. unless you want to spoil the ef-
fects and glory of your victory, you make
no invidious comparisons. The Rough Rid
els are no better than other volunteers.
They had an advantage in their arms, for
which they ought to be very grateful

MICHIGAN BANK ROBBED
Six Men Get $1,000 in Cash and $4,000 in
Notes.
Nitro-GIycerine Used to Wreck the
Safe In Richland Institu-
tfOn-A Bold Deed.

RICHLAND, Mich. August 5-One of the
most daring and successful bank robberies
ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried
OUT by six robbers last night. Some of
them came from the east on a hand car, and
evidently had confederates with a horse
and carriage.
They secured about 5000 in cash from
the Union Bank and 81, 600 in notes. The
horse and carriage were taken into Angus
ia and left there. There were three ex-
plosions, which awakened many people.
Alvin Barnes, an old man, who lived near
the bank, was ordered into the house with
threat that they would shoot him. Geo.
Robson and Ed. Barrett saw the robbers
but did not modest them. The safe was
complete wreck, nitro-glycerine being used
to open it. The inside doors were blown
ten feet out into the office, and pieces went
through the plate glass front twerty feet
distant. The chisel and other too.s were
left here. The hand car was disabled, so it
could not be used to pursue the robbers.
Officers here have just been informed
that a man was seen between Augusta and
Battle Creek, walking on railroad track,
carrying a large satchel and also Win
chester rifle. No one who saw him dared
to make a move to arrest him. Officers
will leave here for Augusta at once after
him.

REGULATION Affecting Newshoxs

Regulation Affecting NewsbOys,
VIM. H. Carter of 1918 Blagdens court,
styling himself manager of the Newsboys'
Association, recently addressed the Dis
trict Commissioners, stating that he had
been asked by both white and colored news
boys to help them out by the enactment
or regulation prohibiting more than one
or Two neWsboys on a street corner and
not more than two or three at street rail-
way transfer points. Mr. Carter explained
that both boys in and outside of the asso-
citation desire the enactment Of such a
regulation, and he suggested that the bows
Should be allowed to choose the corners,
then register their names in a book to be
kept at police headquarters, and to require
them to wear numbered badges
Then, further explained Mr.. Carter,
II a lady or gentleman should pass and
see them doing anything they ought not
to be doing they could report them to the
police If a conductor objects to their
jumping on cars they can tell them by
their badges, and it would not be any
trouble for them to tell them to stop Jump
ing on cars. And it will drown all trouble
that is among the boys, fighting and throw
ing stones in the street, stealing papers
from in front Of DOORS We have the
badges and the book and everything else
as soon as we hear fl ON you all
The matter was referred to Major Syl-
Vester' chler OF the police department, who
reported as follows:
IF it is desired by those interested in
this scheme to have law enacted
for the purpose, 1t would. in my opinion,
discriminate against many of the boys en-
gagged In selling papers for livelihood 1t
would be wise, perhaps, to have the promo
sition submitted to the Commissioners in
such form as it is proposed to have 1t en-
acted. The organization represented by
Garter comes far from embracing the hun
to cf,,
work in this city. In my opinion the
proper time for the consideration of this
subject would be when the matter Is SUBJ
mitted in definite shape"
Commissioner Wight recommended that
Mr.. Carter be informed to the effect that
the mnissioners have considered his
communication, and they do not see their
way clear as yet to enforce such q regula-
ton asked for. Mr.. Nights recommends
ton has been approved by his associates,
and Mr.. Carter will be SO informed.

Captain kemble of the Iroquois says that
he had a fine trip up the coast, with gen.
orally good weather. DR.. Doty, after an
examination of all on board the transport,
decided to hold the steamer for disinfec-
ton. He said he would probably land the
passengers about l o'clock this afternoon
and that the disnfection would be finished
in time to permit the Iroquois to go to her
dock before night
DR.. H. C. McCook of Philadelphia went
to Santiago to assist in caring for the mem
bers of his regiment, the I'd Pennsylvania.
He did not arrive until after the surrender.
He says that there is very little yellow
fever among the troops, but fears that it
will become epidemic later unless some
thing is done promptly to remove them
north. The men are all very tired and
many are suffering from malaria and other
minor diseases, and the relaxation from
the strain of the campaign is having it's
effect the tired, overworked soldiers.
