To pivide Respon,ibi,;ty.

majority of the Naval Board on Con-
struction decided yesterday to recommend
to the Secretary of the Navy that certain
changes be made in the provisions of gen.
eral order 433, which places the RESPONSE
bility for the distribution of weights and
space on warships on the Bureau OF Goa
struction and Repair. This order has al
ways been a source of contention in the
board. 1t has been contended by some Of
the members of the board that the Bureau
of Construction and Repair should not have
the absolute right to say how weights and
space should be distributed. The report of
the majority of the board will recommend
that the responsibility be divided among
the several bureaus concerned in the con-
struction and repair of naval vessels. A
minority report will be submitted by Rear
Admiral Hichborn, Chief of the Construc-
tion Bureau.

THE BR1GHTwooD ROAD.
The District VIII Soon Put 1t In
Repair.

The District Commissioners yesterday
mailed a reply TO the complaint which was
recently received from the Brightwood
Avenue Citizens Association, in which
vigorous objections were taken TO the dan
gerous condition of Brightwood Avenue
and the condition of the railway tracks on
the same avenue.
The Citizens Association maintained
that the highway is exceedingly rough and
unpleasant for the driving public. The
contention was made that the public inter-
ests and necessities demand that the Com
missioners should not permit the avenue
10 be neglected. II was also contended that
the road should always be kept in thorough
condition, because the city is so made
quateIy provided with leading and direct
roadway facilities, this in the interest OF
the pleasure driving public and for the
benefit OF those who live in Washington,
independent Of those interests which lie
beyond the city limits.
In their reply the Commissioners state
that the letters of the Citizens Associa-
tion had been held in anticipation OF what
is actually occurring, that is, the recon-

struction of the railway tracks" Contin-
uing, the reply says that in connection
with this work of reconstruction a new.
alignment is being followed which will re-
suit in considerable change of location,
and that any treatment of the balance of
the roadway must of necessity await the
completion of the railroad work. When
the work of railway reconstruction had
been completed the Commissioners say they
VIII take suitable action to place the bal
ance of the roadway in good condition.

New York, June 27.-The lowest cotton
prices of last autumn, which were the low
est on record for the staple, are being
looked up. in view of the frequent predic-
tions now being made that this years
prices will reach those levels. November
cotton sold on last November 4 at the
lowest price on record, i.9S. January cot
ton sold on that day at $40. On the fol-
lowing day October cotton sold at 5.14
August at 5.37, and April at 5.23. The
present level is about 0.50 above these
prices. Not a few traders and cotton peo-
pie believe that this seasons prices will
go below last years level, but others are
beginning to look for a stiifening of prices
shortly The feeling at the moment is
mixed, but on the whole 1t seems probable
that considerable change in the crop out
look will be necessary to prevent further
declines.
Liverpool was buyer here at our open
ing. and first prices were unchanged for
near and a point higher for distant
months. The market was by no means
active, but the temper was decidedly con-
servative. and the crop was being sized
up as satisfactory rather than brilliant.
Heavy rains fell at Galveston, and good
rains at other points where needed
Prices were bid up points during the
first hour, after which half the advance
was lost, mainly owing to selling by Liv-

The entire street has not been converted
to the bull side of the market by any means
by the recent steady advance of prices.
There is short selling of stock all the
time, and there are any number of people
who are bullish on the market only for a
turn and who will sell out their long stock
with small profits. 1t is quite within the
truth, however, to say that the strength
and steadiness of the recent upward move
ment have converted many people from
pessimism TO hopefulness. The statement
was made in this column on Monday
afternoon that many careful market critics
were looking to the announcement of the
New York Central Boston and Albany deal,
and the big buying by the Vanderbilts to

ganization and lethargy TO good upward

MANY CHILDREN PER|SHED.
Orphan Asylum Burned at
Sparkill, N. Y.
CAUSED BY LAMP EXPLOSION
Flames Spread So Rapidly That There
Was Little Chance of Escape for the
Inmates-Heroism of the Sisters.

Nyack, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Fire was
orphan asylum connected with st.
Anne's convent. at Sparkhill. Rock
land county, at A. NJ, today. but not
before the entire structure. a frame
building, was wrapped in flames.
Many of the inmates, children, were
burned and suffocated, it was reported
early this monring. The exact num-
ber Of the dead could not be told at
3:15 A. NJ, when the first dispatches
reached this city.
The asylum, which is conducted by
the Sisters of Mercy, held about 1000
children. 1t was long frame build
ing, three stories high.
The fire was not discovered until the
whole building was one mass of flames.
The children had scant chance for es.
cape. Special trains over the New
Jersey Northern road were rushe to
the nearest railroad station.
The asylum was situated between
Sparkhill and Orangeburg.
The scenes at the confiagration were
heartrending. The children clad in
their nightrobes. could be seen falling
backward into the flames and smoke,
while the shrieks of the dying could be
heard above the crackle of the devour-
ing flames. Some of the children were
crippled for life by jumping from the
windows. Many of the sisters also
were injured, while others lost their
tives heroically while trying to rescue
their charges.
Although the service of the fire de-
partments from neighboring places had
been promptly rendered, the engines
arrived too late to be effective in saw
ing life or property.
The fire was caused by the explosion
OF kerosene lamp.

Pope Sent an Autograph Letter to Ad-

rope S6nt an autograph Letter TO Ad.
miral Dewey.
New York. Aug. 30.-A dipsatch to
the journal and Advertiser from Rome
says: His holiness, the pope, is deep
ly concerned about the war in the
Philippines. He has communicated
his anxiety to the Rev. Father Reamy,
chaplain of the Olympia.
In the plainest possible terms, Leo
expressed q strong desire to see peace
established between the United States
and the natives. and said that he con-
templated the opening of negotiations
with the United States government
with view to regulating the position
of Catholics in the Philippines.
!; All of this was in the course of
special audience accorded to the chap
lain of Dewey's flagship. In heartfelt
terms, he expressed his horror of blood
shed that had occurred and diIated
upon the importance of making every
endeayor to bring it to an end. He
took it for granted that when peace
was concluded. the United States
would establish beneficent rule un-
der which the Philippines would quick
~ reach condition of happiness and
prosperity.
His holiness asked many questions
about Admiral Dewey, his personality,
his opinions, and inquired sympa-
thetically about the state of his health.
At the conclusion of the interview, he
gave Father Reamy an autograph let
ter for delivery to the admiral and
made the priest the bearer of his bene-
diction to the crew of the Olympia.

CUP CHALLENGER LEAKING.
Accident and Towing Believed to Be
the Cause.


New York, Aug. 28.-The Tribune
says: Men whose opinions and yacht
ing knowledge are respected and es-
teemed declared yesterday that the
Shamrock was twisted in the midship
section and that towing had caused a
strain which has worked her plates" :"
One yachting expert who has built
yachts and has docked hundreds of
ships told Tribune reporter last even-
ing that in the afternoon he was sur
prised, while looking at the English
cup challenger, to see that she was
badly twisted in the midship section.
"The warp is quite apparent" he
continued, ito any one who knows
anything about the lines of yacht
l fancied that detected the twist yes
terday afternoon. am sure of it to-
day, as by tightening, the Shamrock is
much higher out of the water today
than she was yesterday. Naturally
towing caused the straining and made
the plates draw and on that account |
believe the theory of leak Is quite
probable. If the yacht cana over on
the port tack the tendency would be to
strain the hull to starboard, and such
a strain would undoubtedly cause the
plates on the port quarter to spring."
Others believe that the leak or strain
probably was the result of the acci-
dent which happened to the Shamrock
when she ran aground in her trial
trips with the Prince of Wales Britain

that broke out at 1 o'clock this morn
ing destroyed nine of the ten buildings

age, entailing loss of $3.50, 900 and
causing the death of four persons. The
dead are: Helen Brown. aged 6; EN-
ma MackiD. aged q; "Jane." PEN

Marie, burns and concussion; Sister
Bertrand, conclusion of spine and
shook; Sister Katherine. arm broken,
and Hannah Shea, leg broken. Twen-
ty-five inmates were injured by falls,
jumps and burns. none seriously.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the heroism of the Sisters and
some of the elder inmates. When the
fire broke out, the 400 inmates of the
institution were asleep. Most of them
were gotten out in almost perfect order,
but score who risked their lives to
save others were finally forced either to
jump from the upper stories or make
desperate dashes through stairways'
and corridors filled with flames and
