THE CALL FOR SHIPS
Greater Than the Present Navy Can
Answer

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long, Acting Secretary Allen
and Captain Crowninshicld, chief of the
bureau of navigation, have been giving a
great deal OF attention to the number and
character of ships to be distributed among
the North Atlantic, European and South
Atlantic stations. 1t is desired to retain
strong force on the home station and to
send respectable naval force to Europe,
but the ships available, in view OF the
Strengthening of Rcar-Admral Dewey S
command are very few.
The only armorcads under the command
OF RearAdmiral Sampson are the battle
ships Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas,
and the cruisers Brooklyn and New York
Only four protected cruisers are in com.
mission on the North Atlantic coast, the
Chicago, Cincinnati, Newark and New Or
leans The New Orleans will be placed
out OF commission to receive several i'm
provements and the smokestack of the New
ark is to be heightened. The Cincinnati,
upon arrival at New York, will also be
placed out of commission.
1t Is expected that the cruiser Atlanta
will be commissioned next month. The
Newark will likely be sent to the South
Atlantic, as the flagship of that station,
and she will be reinforced by the Whining
ton and Castine. Most of the gunboats
which are being prepared at the navy yards
will be required for service in Cuba and
Porto Rican waters and these will be at
tached to the North Atlantic squadron.

AN ALASKA AVALANCHE
KILLS SIX PEOPLE ON THE chill.
KooT TRAIL
Five Bodies Recovered, Among Them
Being Those of Mrs. Darling
and Her Two Sons

SEATTLE, Dec. 20.-The steamer AL HI,
which arrived here today from Alaska,
brings meager particulars of an avalanche
on the Chlkoot pass in which at least six
people were killed. Five bodies have been
recovered, as follows:
Mrs. Darling OF Lake Linderman and
her two sons.
Bert Jones OF Juneau.
Jerry Shaw OF Skagway.
The slide occurred at Crater lake, about
one mile beyond the summit on the Lake
Linderman side.
Mrs. Darling's husband was at Lake Lin
derman, and she had arranged to join him,
with her two sons, who had almost reached
manhood. Shaw was Skagway man and
had business at the lake. Bert Jones was
but is years OF age, and the reason for his
taking the dangerous trip does not appear.
lie was friend of the Darling boys.
The name of the sixth person has not
been ascertained.
Contrary to the advice of old-timers, who
realized that the trip was dangerous. in view
of the recent storms, the party set out with
light outfits 1t was storming very bad
when they crossed the summit but they sue
ceeded in reaching Crater lake, where the
blizzard forced them to camp, although 1t
was but seven miles to their destination.
While encamped there tons of ice and
snow, mixed with rocks and timber, swept
over them, evidently without warning, and
went on down the valley, leaving them
buried under several feet of hard snow.
Their bodies were found seven days later
by a searching party. The bodies were not
bruised in the least

A Crowd at Columbia

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 20.-The Presi-

OF an hour Considerable OF a crowd was at
the station. The Second Tennessee Band
was present and as the train rolled in,
played an inspiring air. There were pro-
longed calls for the President, who was in
troduced' by Mayor Lipscom. The Presi-
dent spoke as follows:
My fellow-citizens: This stop was not a
part of our itinerary, but it is as agreeable
as it was unexpected that | am permitted
to meet and greet my fellow citizens of the
city of Columbia in the State of South
Carolina. | am glad to meet the citizens Of
he State, and also the soldiers of the United
States encamped in your vicinity. \ govern
ment like ours rests upon the intelligence,
morality and patriotism of the people These
constitute our strength and are the very
armament of our power and in a history Of
| more than a hundred years, filled with great
achievements and marked by unparalleled
progress, these have never failed. These
make good citizenship and good citizen ship
is necessary to national advancement. The
majority OF the people always have been on
the side of right action and good govern
ment, and in this year, 1885, one of the most
glorious, there has been such manifestations
of good feeling, OF good will, of loyalty on
the part of all the people of all sections of
the country as have been unprecedented in
our history. Each has rivalled the other in
devotion to the old flag. Itis happy omen
for our country in view of the vast problems
that await us in the NEAR future. And let
us here in South Carolina and in every other
state of the American Union devote our
selves to the preservation OF this great poll
tical structure, resolved that the general
government of the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish from
the earth
1t cannot as long as it continues deeply
rooted in the affections of the citizens.

to introduce to you tonight two or three Of

who referred to the need of good trea-
sury; PostmasterGeneral Smith, who re-
ferred in fine style to the new loyalty and
the patriotism, and Secretary Alger, who
referred to the many evidences that this
was one country with common cause. As
the train pulled out, the President and
General Wheeler, one from the North, the
other from the South, grasped the hands of
hundreds.
