Permanent Dewey Arch.

New York, Oct. 2.-Following the
suggestions that the Dewey arch be
made permanent in marble and bronze,
prominent citizens have joined in
cause to rear an arch that shall be in
lasting commemoration not only Of
Dewey and Manila, but of the heroes
and engagements OF the American navy.
Among those who have given their
assurance of support are: Ex.Vice.
President Levi p. Morton, ex-Secre.
tary Cornelius N. Bliss, ex-Secretary
Daniel s. Lamont, ]. Pierpont Morgan,
Arson r. Flower and jefferson Selig-
man.
Petitions will be circulated in the

ness places. A meeting will be held
next week for organization. Such an
arch as that suggested, it is estimated,
will cost 81, 500, 900. One OF the pro-
moters is said to have offered check
for $50, 900.

RAPID MOBILIZATION OF soERs
Brltish Government viii Charter Forty
Steamers For Transports.

British Government viii Charter Forty
Steamers For Transports.
London, Oct. A special dispatch
from Pretoria says:
"A rigorous censorship is maintained
over all press kilograms. President
Kruger addressed the troops which
started for the Natal border Saturday,
appealing to their patriotism and wish.
ing them Godspeed."
The general drift of news indicates
that the position of the British troops
in South Africa is critical, owing to
the delay in sending reinforcements,
and in the event OF hostilities, early
reverses are regarded as probable. The
latest advices show that the Transvaal
mobilization has been rapid and COM
prehensive. Many Beers, it is said,
did not wait to be commanded, but
proceeded to the border spontaneously.
1t is calculated that the Orange Free
State already has 1000 men on the
border.
The British government is chartering
a large number of steamers, evidently
for the purpose of transporting an
army corps. About 40 vessels are to
be chartered.
No confirmation is .obtainable from
any source of the report contained In a
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company that the Beers have captured

TRAGEDY At SALT LAKE.
Chief Engineer O'Nfelveny. Of Oregon
Short Line, Killed.

SmOTC lI1ueS AIIIeUs
Salt Lake, Oct. 5.-John G. O'NIel-
veny is dead and Captain j. F. Mills,
formerly acknowledgement of Idaho,
and recently connected with the Sec
ond United States volunteer engineer
regiment, is in the hands of the state
authorities, as the result of a tragedy
which occurred here late this afternoon.
O'Melveny was the chief engineer
of the Oregon Short Line railroad. He
was in his Office about'4 O'Clock. 1t
appears he was alone when Mills en-
tered. The latter had made applica-
ton recently for work in O'Melveny's
department, but had not been accepted.
1t is claimed that he blamed O'Mel.

victim, then dropped the revolver, and
quietly walked to General Traffic Man.
ager Eccles' office, and in the most
nonchalant manner informed him of
what he had done. He said:
"Mr. Eccles, have shot Mr.. O'Mel.
veny. told him this morning that
l would do so, and l have kept my
word"
Police Officer Lincoln appeared on
the scene about this time, and said:
care you the man who did the shoot
ing?'
Mills said that he was, and he was
at once put under arrest.
O'Melveny was shot while writing
at his desk, and the ink had scarcely
dried on the paper before he was dead.

Appalling Effects Of Earthquakes In

Asia Minor.
Constantinople, Oct. At is now
estimated that 800 persons persisted
in the earthquakes in Asia Minor
around Alden. The first shock oc.
Cured at 4 O'Clock in the morning Of
September 20, and lasted 40 seconds.
The effects were appalling. Whole vii.
lagos were completely destroyed. The
earthquake was felt as far as Scio,
Mitylene and Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken
area show that men, women and chill.
dren were buried in the ruins OF their
dwellings before they realized their
danger. Numbers OF bodies still lie
beneath the debris. About 500 persons
were killed at Salxareni, and some 500
at Denizl, where three.fourths OF the
buildings fell. There was proportion
ate loss of life in many of the smaller
villages.
The disturbance has not yet subsidized,
although its strength appears to be
spent. The shocks continue almost
daily, but with no great violence. The
population is encamped in the open.
One consequence of the earthquake
is the subsistence of the level of the
Alden district by two yards. Sulphur.
Gus springs burst out in the valley OF

SECOND RACE FAILED.
1t Was Drifting Match From Start to
Finish.


New York, Oct. Again today the
sea refused the Shamrock and the Co.
lumbia a field OF conflict; again today
the multitude which went over tc
watch the contestants for the yachting
championship OF the world returned
disappointed and not little disguised.
The question of supremacy of the two
great yachts is still as much an open
question as before they first met, as the
contest today was in some respects
more of tluke than that Of Tuesday.
1t was drifting match almost from
start to finish. The yachts crossed the
line with breeze of five knots, and
the wind never blew more than six
knots, most of the time less than three,
and part OF the time not breath OF air
was stirring. After sailing four hours
and AZ minutes, the yachts having GOV.
cred only IL miles of the course to the
outer mark, the regatta committee de-
clared the race off, rs it was manifestly
impossible, with the breeze then blow
ing, for the boats to round the stake
before the time limit expired, much
less to get back home again.
