MEDICAL CORPS OF NAVY.
Strong RECON- mmendatton by Surgeon
General That 1t be Increased

Washington, oct. 22-The strongest
recommendation in the annual report
Of Surgeon General Van Reypen, just
made public, is that relating to an in
crease of the medical corps of the navy
He points out that while there has been
a steady increase in the enlisted force
Of the navy for the past two years,
and while the marine corps has been
swelled by the addition of 5000 men
there has been no suitable provision
made for a corresponding increase in
the medical corps, which is charged
with the care of the health of these
men. Every surgeon who is not sick
is said to be on duty and the depart
ment has been unable to supply sur
geons for needed recruiting and other
duties. Therefore the surgeon general
recommends that the corps be increas-
ed five surgeons and twenty assistant
surgeons and five volunteer surgeons,
who served in the war and are now in
service be transferred to the regular
rolls, the age limitation to be removed
in their cases. There are eighteen of
these men and in some cases they are
over thirty years of age. 1t is also
earnestly urged that the naval assistant
surgeons be placed on an eqality with
those of the army in pay and rank. At
present the army can get all the medi-
cal assistance it needs while the navy
can get scarcely any surgeons to
serve
The hope is expressed that the corps
will not be allowed to die out from lack
of recruits, which must follow unless
inducements are quail to those offered
in the army at least
The surgeon general calls attention
to the fact that of the casualties during
the war with Spain, only seventeen
have resulted in pension applications
so far, a most noteworthy fact in view
of the report that eighteen of the cas-
ualties resulted fatally.
In concluding the report special at
tention is invited to the excellent sani-
tary condition existing in the navv. and
especially in the Asatic squadron dur
ing the past year. Early precautions
were taken to prevent, as far as possi- |
BILE, the i'll effects resulting from nee
essary climatic exposure and to give
the best care and attention to the sick. !
The results have proved their efficacy |
and the sick reports from the vesse1s |
in the Philippines indicate a bieb
standard Of physical efficiency in the
squadron.

Manila, Oct 23, $50 a. m.-General

with a request made through General
Macarthur for permission for Fill
pino commission, headed by a Filipino
major general, to visit General Otis in

the course of time became the junior

sale, as well as retail, establishment.
He held the office Of mayor for a num-
ber of years. but since his retirement
In 1886 he held no public office except
that of treasurer of the Central school
district, which office he held up to his
denth. Despite his somewhat advance
ed years he was active in number of
manufacturing companies, being presi-
dent of six and a director in fully q
dozen. He was without exception one
of the most active citizens of Norwich
and his Judgment was sought on many
occasions. For half century he had
been factor in the city's business life.
During the civil war he was an aide on
Governor Buckingham's staff and prov
ed himself such in every sense of the
word. He was a thirty-second degree
mason widow and one sister sur
vive him.

Watertown branch. The accident oc-
Cured at Browns station, about a
mile from this city A special with
number of Odd Fellows that attended
the funeral of Hon. Owen Brown King
was returning from Watertown to this
city and Osborn rushed in front of the
train to signal it to stop and did not
heed the engineers warnings. He was
struck and thrown about fifteen feet.
His neck was broken and the body was
mangled considerably. A sad feature
in connection with the accident was
that Osborn was returning home after
having been out endeavoring to secure
a. nurse for his invalid wife. He had
been employed as a driver for the Wa
terbury Brass company.

SHOT WHILE UNITING.
Young Willimantic Man Accidentally
Injured by Companion.

Willimantic, Oct. 22.-Frank Berlang-
er, aged eighteen years, was accidental
ly shot while hunting in the woods near
the Hop River station, about three
miles west of here this afternoon. The
bullet lodged in his abdomen, but un-
less complications develop it is thought
the wound will not prove fatal. There
were six boys in the party and all were
seated on the ground, when Albert Au-
thier, aged nineteen years, picked up
22-calibre rifle belonging to another
member of the party and was examin-
ing it, when it was discharged and Ber-
LANCER was struck. After the accident
the boys improvised a litter and carried
their companion about mile and a half
to the road when a passing team was
met and the wounded boy was taken to
his home. The doctors probed for the
bullet unsuccessfully.

BECHuASALAND SAFE As YET.
No General Incursion Rcported-Leak-
nge Of Colonial News,

London, Oct. 22.-The latest dispatches
received to-day do not indicate any gem
eraI incursion of Beers as yet into Bech-
uanaland. Along the Orange river
everything seems to be quiet. From
Coleburg, Cape Colony, it is reported
that all the available burghers of the
Orange Free State have been sent north
and west. On the other hand, a mes
scnger from Aliwal north reports that
IL large body of Beers is advancing to-
ward the Orange river. Refugees are
leaving that town in great numbers
daily. The Beers have mounted a Krupp
gun OH bridge commanding the most
thicllly peopled part,
Advices from Cape Town say that
wholesome fear of a rising in Basuto-
land prevents the Beers invading Cape
Colony, and that on the other hand
there is considerable excitement at Ma
seru and other Basuto stations, arising
from native apprehensions of Boer at
tacks. 1t appears that colonial news is
in some mysterious way supplied to the
Beers and that their movements depend
largely on intelligence communicated
through natives. There is disquieting
information from Hershel and other
points in Cape Colony where the natives
are much excited.

Judge O'Brien said:
1--WE have assembled tonight to give
welcome to men who came among us to
raise funds for the erection of 9 nonu-
ment which shall perpetuate the name
and fame of Charles Stewart Parnell.
Parnell worked and fought for the whole
Irish people. There was no distinction
as to creed. Therefore, without refer
ence to religion here, all can unite in
doing honor to his memory
The audience received the names Of
the distinguished visitors by standing
up and cheering for some moments. AS
the cheering began to subside some one
called out, "Hurrah for Dom Paul" The
sentiment was popular one among the
and the old Beers name was
cheered again and again.
Baskets were then circulated and it
is estimated that over $4,000 was col
lected. Twenty thousand dollars will,
it is said, buy the Parnell homestead.
Richard Croker gave $500, Bourke Cock
ran $500, and Mayor Van Wyck $780,
Former Assistant Secretary of the
Navy William McAdoo Of New Jersey
