ADMIRAL Deweys ships q BE Given
. CaeaninG, Of Which They
stand In Much Heea.

Arrangements r being made by
the navy department fer docking and
cleaning the vessels in Rear Admiral
Dewey's squadron. which is composed
OF the Baltimore. Boston. Charleston,
Concord. Olympia, Petrol, and Raleigh.
Dewey's feet will be augmented by
several ships which will be sent to Ma.
Mia as soon as it is decided which ships
will be sent. Some of the vessels un.
der Admiral Dewey's command have
not been properly docked and cleaned
for Is months and are therefore in 3
bad condition. Chief Naval Con.
structor Hichborn says that a vessel
should be cleaned at least every siJ
months.
Rear Admiral Dewey has been cabled
by the navy department in regard to
the facilities offered at Manila for
docking vessels of the size of those IN.
der his command. 1t is hoped that
some arrangements q be made
whereby the vessels can receive the
attention which they are in need of
without leaving Manila.
If it ia found that the vessels cannot
be locked at Manila, Assistant Secre.
tary Of the Navy Allen says it will be
necessary to have the work done al
Hong-kong. Of curse this will be inn
possible until peace between the
United States and Spain has been tech
nically declared. England has at
Hong-Kong five of the largest dry
docks in the world. The largest ie
capable, according to Chief Hichborn
of holding the largest warship afioat.
If it Is found necessary to use these
docks n vessel at a time will be de-
tached from Admiral Dewey's feet
and sen to HorT-Kong.
The cost of docking. cleaning. and
painting a cruiser the size of the Bal.
timore is about $4,000. Of course. il
the docks at Hong-Kong are used the
United States will have to pay England
an additional sum for the privilege.

BISHOP POTTER QUICK.
Left the Train Enroute, to Depose
DR.. De Costa.

New York, Oct. lit is reported
that Bishop Potter acted much more
promptly in the matter of Rev. DR..
Benjamin F. De Costa's resignation
from the Episcopal ministry than any
body has supposed. DR.. De Costa it
appears, had already been deposed
from the church by formal action of the
bishop on Sunday morning, in accord
Digest, before his resignation was an
nOunced. The bishop received DR.. De
COSta'S letter of resignation just as he
was taking the train for the west where
he is at present attending Il convention
in St. Paul From there, it is said he
is going later to Honolulu and the
Philippines. 1t is said Bishop Potter
left the train at PoughReepsie, the first
stop, and went to Christ church there,
whose rector, Rev. S. A. Weikert. is in
sympathy with the bishop. Another
clergyman was summoned after the
morning service and then and there
Bishop Potter conducted the ceremony
of deposition in accordance with the
provisions of the Canon.
DR.. De Costa declined today to give
any information as to his future course
in life. It was said, however, that the
veteran Episcopal clergyman may find
a resting place in a communion more
suited to his ideas. 1t is also said
according to the World, that he is SER
iously thinking of embracing another
faith and that he even now is under
religious instruction by the Jesuit faith

WONDERFUL WHEELING.
Eddie McDuffee Rides Three Miles In
1858 and smashes other Records.

Brockton, Mass, Oct. 11.-Both Eddie
McDuffee and Ben MunrOe, the latter
from Memphis, Tenn, broke worlds
records at the track here yesterday,
McDuffee lowering the time for from 1
to miles and MunrOe from 3 to %
miles inclusive. McDuffee rode his first
two miles in less than three minutes
and his last in 1:21. MunrOe changed
from his own motor triplet to ,McDuf-
fees steam motor He finally had to
quit after riding 25 miles, as his wheel
gave out.
At the McDuffee race there were four
watches held and the slOwest time of
the four is credited to McDuffee. The
last mile was one second faster than
to Major Taylor, made in Chicago.
This was the first ride of two miles un-
der three minutes ever made by
rider. McDuffee'S own record of 1:28
was beaten in three of the miles and
was equalled in one of the others. The
first quarter of the last mile was rid
den in eighteen seconds, and others
were ridden in 20 seconds.
The first mile was covered in 1:30.
miles, making a new two mile record,
and the first under three minutes. The
three miles were ridden in 4:23 and the
third mile in 1:25, a new record for a.
quarter mile track. McDuffee at first
started to ride two miles, but called to
the officials to keep his time for five
miles. The fourth mile was done in
mile was done in Is seconds and the
third in % seconds the last in 20 3-5.
The mile was covered in 1:21 by the
time recorded on every watch but one,
which was a fraction only less. The
time for the five miles was 7:12 3-5.

DEEP WATER CONVENTION.
Held at Peoria Discusses Mississippi
River improvement

Peoria, Ill, Oct. IA deep water
way or ship canal connecting the great
lakes with the gulf is the subject being
discussed by a convention of prominent
citizens in this city. All resolutions in
troduced were referred after reading to
the committee on resolutions. Among
the resolutions introduced was one for
Mississippi river improvements by J. A.
Ockerson, of st. Louis, No, in part as
follows: THAT the stream shall be
carried to the highest possible degree
of perfection which engineering skill
can attain. The Mississippi river de-
serves the most liberal treatment at the
hands of the general government and it
must be made so complete that it will
furnish at all times an unObstructed out
let to the sea for the surplus products
of the Mississippi valley. Resolved
that senators and representatives in
congress use their best efforts to secure
such appropriations and provide such
board of engineers as may be deemed
essential for the purpose of making sur
veyS and examinations from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi river, pre-
pare plans and estimates and inaugur-
ate the work of improvements named
in these resolutions"
Short addresses in interest of a deep
waterway were made by a number of
delegates.

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND
In Opposition to Expansion by Force
of Arms,

New York, Oct. 11.-Among the let
ters received by Bolten Hall, temporary
secretary of the American league re-
Gently organized to oppose militarism
in the United States, is the following
from Grover Cleveland:
"Buzzards Bay, Mass, Oct. II, 1899.
your letter and the statements of
the belief of the proposed American
league have been forwarded to me.
think the statement is the best I have
seen on the question of anti-eXpansion
as it is at present exhibited to US.
"The concluding paragraph com
prises, in my opinion, the pith of the
matter. The use of power for expansion
of American institutions presents an
inconsistency whose evil and dangerous
tendency ought to be apparent to all
who love these institutions and under
stand their motives and purposes.
Il have no objection to being among
those who subscribe to the statement
you send me If it is altered, however,
1 desire to be advised of the change
before am recorded as an adviser.
Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
The paragraph which Mr.. Cleveland
refers to is the last platform of the
organization. It is as follows:
1--WE are, therefore, opposed to the
Use of force in the extension of Ameri-
can institutions"

FOR AN EYE, $4,000.
Boy Injured by Flying Splinter Sues
Company.
Fifteen thousand dollars is

Fifteen thousand dollars is the
amount of a claim which Thomas
B. Mclean, of Kansas City, Kan
sas, makes against the Creamery
Package Manufacturing company for
the loss of his sons eye. A suit for
the amount has just been filed in the
United States circuit court on a trans
script from Wyandotte county.
The son, Forest V. Mclean, is a boy
of IA years. He was in the employ of
the Creamery Package Manufacturing
company, and was set to work taking
butter tub heads from a planning ma
chine. The petition sets forth the
claim that the machine had no guards
to shield the workmen from the splin-
ters and chips which flew in all direc-
tions, and the boy was struck in the
eye with a splinter, necessitating the
removal of the organ. For this the
and $500 for medical attendance.
The company enters a general denial
in the case.

CAR FAMINE.
The Worst Ever known Exists
at Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-One of the most
serious car famines ever recorded, ex-
lists among the big railroad terminals
port that the congestion of business has
assumed the proportions of a blockade.
To add to the embarrassment the yards
will not accommodate the cars obtain
able. Freight houses are filed and at
many points long trains stand on the
main tracks for hours before they can
be taken care of. Sidetracks and yards
for distances of so miles or over from
the city are being utilized to accOmmO-
date the unprecedented crush of traffic.
In addition to the blockades, the rail-
road officials find it impossible to obtain
appears to be as great as the famine in
cars.
The most serious feature of the pres
ent condition is the inability to trans
act transfer business between the west
ern and eastern lines with any degree
to their utmost to get traffic from one
line to another, and much of the trans
fer business that ordinarily goes
through Chicago, or what are known as
the Cook county transfer points is be-
ing interchanged between the western
and eastern roads by the cross lines
from so to 100 miles south of the city.
New business is being refused on ev-
cry hand and the car and locomotive
builders are pressed to rush orders for
new equipment.
One thousand cars built for the Rio
Grande road by an Indiana firm have
mysteriously disappeared en- route to
the west. 1t is thought they are being
used by roads short of cars and will be
held until the famine is over.
