NINE EXPLODED.
Had Just Been Removed from Its
Pace in Boston HarbOr --- Killed
Three Men.

Boston, Mass, December 6.-FOur
men were killed and several seriously
injured at Fort independence on Castle
Island, in Boston harbor, to-day, by the
explosion of a mine which had been
removed from the channel by diver.
The dead:
Sergeant Morris McGrath.
Hiram Vaughn.
Private Brennan Ga diver).
- Ryan "a citizen).
The three men, Vaughn, Brennan
and Ryan, had placed the mine on the
wagon and started to take it to the
place where the other ammunition was
stored. The road along which they
passed was unusually smooth, having
been constructed with a view to the
necessity of care in transporting ex-
plosive material. Suddenly and with
out warning the mine burst. The
blown 10 fragments. Sergeant Nc
Grath was standing fully twenty feet
away. He was instantly killed by the
conclusion. His body does not bear
a mark of any kind.
AS soon as possible after the explos-
ion a careful search was begun by
Lieut.. Raymond, who had charge of re-
moving the mines, but not fragment
of men or clothing could be found.
Lieut.. Raymond states that he cannot
imagine how the explosion occurred.
He says that since the order was issued
from Washington hundreds of mines
have been handled in precisely the
same way as was this one, and trans
ported over the same road.
Ryan was a civilian assisting in the
work. Vaughn was a member of the
engineer corps. He had only two weeks
more to serve, when he expected to be
transferred to naval college to take
a course of naval construction.
Sergeant McGrath was the keeper of
the island.

year before only 13s.31S tons were
bought at a cost of $4.75 per ton. The
coal bought abroad, 74,111 tons, cost
1912 per ton
THE INCREASED COST
of coal abroad was due to serious and
prolonged strikes of coal miners and
threatened war between foreign ma
lions. By watching the markets and
making close contracts, the bureau
was able to keep the cost down to a
minimum. and at a price believed to
be remarkable in view of the condi-
lions.
Capt. Bradford regards with much
concern the constantly increasing de-
mands for repairs and renewals for
electrical outfit and supplies of ships.
With the notable exceptions of Dewey's
fleet and the Oregon, the experience of
our warships would seem to indicate
that they cannot long be self-sustain-
ing without dock yard electrical work
The number of officers who are famil-
lar with electrical engineering seems
to be decreasing rather than increas-
ing, probably owing to the closing of
the torpedo school. where a course on
electricity was taught In the meantime,
electrical apparatus on shipboard has
multiplied many fold, and became like
all other accessories of a man-ofwar,
much more complex 1t is earnestly
recommended tina, special corps of
men be provided to care for the cleo
trical plants. Capt. Bradford says
that as a monopoly practically controls
the more important electrical appar-
atus supplies, with unusually high
prices, he considers it advisable to
erect at the New York navy yard for
the purpose of overcoming this evil
sufficient appliances for the manufac-
ture of the articles now purchased.
While the results of the homing
pigeon service have not been as salts
factory as was wished, especially at
Key West, near the seat of war, yet
Capt Bradford says this may have
been due to the climate and the want
of experienced men to care for the
birds, so he recommends further trial
of the system.

MAY BE PRESERVED.

Washington, December 6.-The COM
missioner of internal revenue has ruled
that if perishable fruits are placed in
cold storage for preservation pronci-
pally, the storage being an entirely
secondary matter, there is no taxation
imposed upon the receipt evidencing
the transaction. If, however, the
goods are placed on storage and stor-
age is the chief aim of the transaction,
preservation being a secondary con-
Sideration, there would be a tax of 25

assets for their full value before any
rights accrue to other creditors.
The issue of notes upon the general
assets of national banks may be made
perfectly secure without the require
ment that the notes be a first lien upon
their assets. 1t would only be neces-
sary to award to the note holder the
same ratable proportion of the assets
which went to other creditors, and to
provide that the amount required to
PAY THE DIFFERENCE
be obtained by an assessment upon all
the national banks, collected ratably in
proportion to their share in the circu-
lation of this character. The vital
question is, What percentage of assess
ment upon this circulation would be
required in order to cover the losses
to note holders in the case of failed
banks? The experience of the national
banking system demonstrates that the
assessment would be insignificant.
Whether preference be given to the
note holder, as in Canada, or he be
made to take his share of risk with the
depositor, as in Germany, France and
Scotland, or whether the note holder
shall be protected by the special pledge
of security as now provided in our ma
tional banking act, these considera-
lions affect the question relatively, not
absolutely. Under either of these con-
ditions provisions may be made which
will furnish to the country paper
money adequate to commercial needs,
economical to the, people, and safe in
its general workings.
In my last report I ventured upon
specific recommendations. These re-
If adopted and form
ulated into law, would, in my opinion,
be curative of the evils herein pointed
out. In House bills 1929 and 1888
are embodied a series of measures in
some respects more meritorious. The
measures therein proposed are the re-
suit of careful study by expert and ex
perienced men. With some modsfica
reasonable fruit of full dis
cussion-they would. l believe, meet
the country's needs. | commend the
subject to the early and earnest atten-
ton of Congress.
