The following telegram was received
by Mrs. Philip J. Vetter on Saturday
evening:
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 49, 1899.
Mrs. =. J. Vetter. Scranton, Pa.
Mr.. Netter at Cape Home. is recover
ing. More later.
c. w. Tranltland.
Another telegram was received by
Attorney George M. Watson yesterday
morning as follows
Seattle. Wash, Aug. 20, 1899.
George NJ. Watson, Scranton, Pa:
Netter wintered on schooner. Rescued
May 10 by lngham. Heroic trip. Doing
we'll June g. Now at home. Letter ex-
plains. IT, f. Holmes
The above dispatches. which prac-
tically confirm the news of Mr.. Vet
ter's rescue, received last week, tended
in no small degree to brighten the sor-
row-stricken home and to tighten the
burdens and cheer the hopes of the
wife and children of the supposedly
lost man.
ASKED FOR IMPORTATION.
When Mr.. Watson was in the west a
few weeks ago he authorized several
parties In Port Townsend and Seattle
to communicate with Mrs. Vetter by
wire In case anything should transpire.
Both of the gentlemen who have sent
the kilograms were well known to Mr..
Watson and he is confident that they
would not send anything which they
did not get on good authority.
Nothing definite in regard to the de-
nf N at a
Of course. be known until the letter
mentioned arrives, which will probably
be either tomorrow or Wednesday
Taking into consideration the fact that
both men wired Independently, and that
their information tallies, 1t is very
likely that the news that Mr. Vetter
is alive is true.
The home referred to is probably one
of the numerous mission houses of the
various denominations scattered along
the coast in the vicinity of st, Mich
aels, When any cases of distress are
reported to these institutions it is GUS
tomary for them to send out rescuing
parties and to call them after the name
of the leader. The Ingham referred to
is supposed to be the leader of one of
these parties. If the message is true,
Mr.. Vetter is undoubtedly conValescing
at the mission or home from which the
rescuing party was sent.
PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
The only peculiar circumstance sur
rounding the information is that no
word has been received from Mr.. Vet
ter since June 6, when, according to
the telegram. he was doing well. Mr..
Watson is of the opinion that if he had
sent word of his safety that it should
have arrived before this time, as nearly
two months and half have elapsed.
On the whole, however, both Mr. Wat
son and Mrs. Vetter are inclined to
place a great deal of reliance on the
information and they are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the letter CIV
ing the details of the affair.

Hon. T. V. Powderly, of Washington
ID. c., was in this part of the state for
several days last week A writer in the
Wilkes Barre Record, speaking Of his
visit to that city, said:
Hon. T. V. Powderly, commissioner
general of immigration, was in town
on Thursday. on his way to Washing
ton, D. c., which is his headquarters
In conversation with a Record man,
who asked him to what extent our sys-
TEN of excluding undesirable immi-
grants is successful, he stated that it
is doing fairly we'll, but that our laws
on this subject are by no means what
they ought to be. Mr.. Powderly eX-
pressed his regret that the anthracite
coal region is undergoing an upheaval
of the labor and capital question. He
said he deplored strikes and mentioned
that during his service as grand master
workman of the knights of Labor he
had never ordered a strike. He had
sustained some strikes that had been
precipitated without his sanction and
without his power to prevent. but he
had never ordered one.
1.-The last time I saw you said Mr.
POwderly to the Record man, was
when Lackawanna was cutting loose
from Luzerne. and that was twenty
one year ago this week
The passage OF time has left him with
gray hair and moustache, but other
wise he seems as young and animated
as in the old days when he so con-
servatively directed the great inter-
ests of the workingmen as head of the

Three months ago Captain Edward
A. Goodwin was in charge of the re-
cruiting office in this city. Since leav-
ing here he has been advanced to major
and colonel. His promotion to colonel
was announced on Friday in the orders
issued from the war department at
Washington. He has been assigned to
command the Fortieth infantry. Col
onel Goodwin held the title before, haV-
ing been a colonel of a regiment of i'm
mune volunteers during the late war
in Cuba. After the regiment of i'm
munes was mustered out of the SER
vice he returned to his rank of captain
of the regular army, but was soon pro-
NOTED to major He has now been di-
rected to take charge of one of the
regiments which the war department
has issued orders to have recruited.
Colonel Goodwin is a native of West
Virginia, and was graduated from
West Point in 1870. He has been with
the Eighth cavalry almost continuous
ly since and has participated in some
of the hardest Indian campaigns of the
last twenty-five years. The many
friends he made while in this part OF
the state are much pleased over his
promotion.

undergo the extensive alterations being
planned by the board OF naval bureau

nayy-yard interests, led by ex-Represen~
tafive Bowden, have been earnestly press
ing the department To nave the work done
at that yard, and while this Ia be op-
dered. the present disposition is toward
Portsmouth. on the ground that the Nor

the work that IL can handle, while Ports

TO be done there, and the result nay be
that the yard will be modernized from a
wooden ship-building plant TO "A modern
ship-building plant, capable OF taking the
work OF the second-class smaller cruis-
ers and g~unboats.
An estimate OF the amount OF money to
be expended on the alterations 10 the
Raleigh places the total at a quarter OF a
million dollars.
The board OF naval bureau chiefs has
completed the plans for the alteration Of
the cruiser Cincinnati, and these are of
interest. because they are similar 10 tho

OF ship developed in the narrow limits OF
the fire-rooms. making them almost I'M
bearably hot in ordinary weather. and
entirely so In warm climates. TO meet
this difficulty II has been determined to
replace the six big Scotch shell boilers
with American sectional tubular boilers.
The result will be TO reduce the space
needed for the same amount OF boiler
power. l0.ooo-horse-power In this case. to
give some additional coal capacity. and
make 1t possible by separating the boilers
to ventilate the fre-rooms thoroughly,
and thus reduce the temperature. II win
probably be unnecessary TO lengthen the
