The navy department is considering
the advisability of modifying the plans
for the four new harbor monitors by
increasing their size from 2700 tons to
1000 tons, enabling them to carry four
12-inch guns in two turrets instead of
only two guns in one turret. AS the
offensive power of the monitors can be
doubled at an increase of cost that still
places the figure with the appropria-
ton, the change probably will be made

dispatch from United States Consul
General Hurst at Vienna, stating that
three deaths have occurred from bu-
bonic plague and that there are now
only six cases in the entire city and
these are all hospital attendants. Mr..
Hurst adds that the infection of immi-
grants is improbable. DR.. Wyman,
surgeon general of the marine hospital
service says that no unusual delays to
the landing at New York of immi-
grants from Austria Hungary are con-
templated.
The consul at the port of departure
will examine each emigrant before he
Is allowed to go aboardship and if he
comes from the infected district his
baggage will be disinfected and every
precaution taken to prevent the spread
nf disease. In no case will an emigrant
be allowed to proceed if there is any
reason to believe that he has been in
contact with the infection. DR.. Wy
man is of the opinion that there is lit
tie or no danger of the plague being
brought to this country.

4 glittering pageant, in which gods and goddesses fresh from Olympus, knights in glittering armor, nymphs and clowns whose pleasing antics pleased, marked the opening of the Verein Eintracht's ball last evening, The grand march was gorgeous affair
 Promptly at o'clock the clarion notes of a bugle heralded the beginning of the ball, and the line for the grand march was formed. First in the line was the committee of arrangements which was followed by the president and vice-president of the association, the floor committee in rococo costume, a herald in Lohengrin costume and float, representing Prince and Princess Carnival with pages In an arbor Of flowers, drawn by six harlequins. Court ladies, gents and testers, nymphs and ballet girls were next in line, and then

BURIED UNDER AN ELEVATOR Fatal A Accident to a Young Man at the Pa-
 viliOn. Killed While Trying to "Beat" ]" His Way Into the
 Ball. Found by His. Companions He Was at Once Ex-
 tricated.

A poorly clad young man, whose name could not be ascertained, met with a horrible accident last night at the Mechanics Pavilion. Not having the necessary money to buy a ticket, the unfortunate fellow, together with a number of other young men, forced his way into the basement. At the southerly end of the building is freight elevator, and the intruders started to climb the ropes attached to it. in order to reach the main floor.
 The unknown victim of the accident stood close to the elevator and as it shot upward in response to a tug on the main rope by one of his companions, he started to board it. The next instant the elevator dropped, catching the stranger in the descent. His cries at tracted the attention of his companions who. becoming alarmed, at once noti fled Sergeant Nash. The latter imme- diately ran to the scene, and found the young man buried beneath the ele- vator.
 He was unconscious, and apparently fatally hurt After considerable trou- ble the elevator was raised and the in jured boy removed to the Receiving Hospital.
 A few minutes after being placed on the operating table he breathed his last His body was subsequently sent to the Morgue.
 One of his companions was James Wilson, and lives at Fourteenth and Mission streets.
 We made our way into the base ment,'' he remarked, when giving his version of the accident, and being un- acI, ,aiy do cided to try the elevator. The victim of the accident remained a short dis tance behind, thinking we would meet with police interference. After one of the boys had raised the elevator the stranger tried to climb on to 1t. Just then the elevator suddenly dropped, burying his companion be- heath it. I was told that he was from the Potrero, but I do not know his name"

 The couple were seen on the deck of the steamer City of Puebla yesterday morning as she cleared the docks on her way to the Klondil1e, by Harry Burns, an intimate friend of the Lynch family, who positively identified the missing girl, but cannot give the least description of the man who was standing with her at the time.
 The parents of the child refuse to be- Eeve the theory which is now generally advanced that she willingly left home to accompany this unknown man north, and claim that she was either drugged and C;4rried aboard the vessel or was induced there by the stranger as the result of an exaegeration of her talents and the sue cess she would derive from an exhibition of them in Dawson, where she is sup r,osed to be now going with her abductor.
