TO SUCCEED DEWEY.
Rear Admiral Watson to Command The
Asiatic Station-Dewey's Work.

near AumIFaI watson TO Inc
Asiatic Station-Dewey' Work
Washington, May 8.-The Navy De-
partment has selected a successor to
Admiral Dewey to command the Asiat-
ic squadron. Orders were issued de-
taching Rear Admiral Watson from
command of the Mare Island navy yard
and ordering him to report to
Admiral Dewey at Manila to relieve
that officer when he feels that he can
be spared there. Rear Admiral Kempff.
at present on waiting orders, has been
ordered to succeed Rear Admiral Wat
son in command of the Mare Island
navy yard.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
to-day that Admiral Dewey will come
from Manila direct to New York when
he returns to the United States How
ever, it was added, the Admiral will
not start until the commission of which
he is member has completed the work
it has undertaken, at least so far as il
relates to the restoration of peace to
the islands.
The reason of bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead of hav-
ing her come to San Francisco, where
she was built, is said to be primarily
because Admiral Dewey desires to
make the passage on his own flagship,
but also for the season that the Mare
Island navy yard threatens to be over
whelmed with repair work as soon as
the numerous vessels of Dewey's feet
begin to return to the United States
The Olympia is in need of a thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any 9TH
er in the Asiatic station ard seen more
than the usual amount of hardship dur
ing her absence.

URES ON THE INDEPENDENT
OUTPUT.
Muncie, Ind, May S.-The statement
is now positively made that the NAM
moth window glass combine will be
completed during the next few days and
details Of the scheme hitherto kept
from the public have been brought to
light Glass men now regard it as
settled that the American Window
Glass Association. which goes out of
existence May 80, will be supplied by
the American Glass Company. 1t will
be capitalized at S30,000,000 and will
control, it is claimed, more than ninety
per cent. of the country's window glass
production.
Many officers of the new organization
will be the same as those who held the
reins in the old combine.
James A. Chambers will be the nom
inal head of the concern, while Thomas
F. Hart. of this city, and E. L. Phil
lips, of New Castle, Pa, will be the
controlling spirits. Besides those
whose names have been given, N. X.
McMullen, a stock broker of Pittsburg,
Thomas Given, Pittsburg banker, and
al tiiuA w lDi ddys 4iOAlSlO eeICCi my ),
will hold prominent positions.
A singular thing in connection with
the formation of this combination is
the persistence with which the indie
pendent plants have refused to option
themselves. In Indiana there are said
to be but two that joined, one, the
Union, of Anderson a ten-pot plant, and
the other, the Purrle factory, at Hart
ford City, with a twelve-pot capacity.
An Independent plant at Lancaster is
the only one in Ohio to Join.
There are those who deny that the
combine will control 80 per cent. of all
window plants. These persons say that
the combine can rely on but 1884 out
of 1884 window pots in operation. This
would be trif1e under Is per cent.
The Independent plants now in opera
ton have 500 pots and $50 more are
in process of construction. These lat
ter are pledged to operate independ-
emily. They ~ being put up near
Hazlehurst, Pa In addition it is said
there will be put up in the gas belt of
Indiana factories with a capacity of 100
pots that will operate INDEPENDENTLY.

Pittsburg. Pa, May S.-The jury to
try Bertha Beilstein for the alleged
murder of her mother at their home,
203 Spring Garden avenue, Allegheny,
October ? last. was completed at one
o'clock this afternoon and the trial
proceeded, the balance of the day being
occupied by the statement of the case
by the prosecuting attorney and the
hearing of several witnesses.
The terrible nature of the crime with
which Miss Beilstein is charged-the
killing of her mother. her own futile
attempt at suicide, as a result of which
she fingered for months between life
and death. with horrible bullet wounds
in her head and abdomen; the suicide
of old Uncle Davey" Refs following
soon after the murder in October last,
and finally the last catastrophe in the
terrible family tragedy-the suicide OF
her brother, Edward, on his murdered
mothers grave in Voegtley's cemetery,
Troy Hill, Just six weeks and a day
after that ill-starred day in October, has
made this one of the famous and sensa-
tional cases in the history of crime.
The trial of the young woman, as a
consequence. is being watched with
morbid interest and one of the evil
dences of the excitement it is causing
in this city was the crowd that infested
the court house corridors this morning
long before the doors of Criminal Court
were opened.

FOURTH VICTIM.
Ill Fated Nelson Family Loses
Another Member by
Typhoid Fever.

Miss Ebba Nelson, aged 81, died at
1920 today at Stormont hospital Of
typhoid fever, the fourth of the ill
fated c. A. Nelson family to succumb
to the disease in eight weeks.
Those who have died were; Rosa,
aged 10; Edith, aged 10; Rudolph, aged
10, and Ebba, aged 21. William Nelson,
another member of the family, is lying
at the point of death at StormOnt hos
pitaI and he will probably be the fifth
victim.
With one exception the deaths have
all occurred on Wednesday, the excep-
tion being Edith who died on Tuesday
evening. The deaths have been exactly
two weeks apart.
The family lives at 1925 Lincoln street
and there are two children at home,
aged five and nine years, who are con-
Valescing from the disease.
Mr.. Nelson has a small tailor shop
and is by no means wealthy. The dis
ease was contracted by drinking pol
luted well water.

LOW RATES FOR OFFICERS
May Not Be Extended to Them East
From Frisco After Muster Out.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Western roads are
considering a proposition to discontinue
the practice of granting reduced rates
for officers of volunteer regiments re-
turning from the Philippine Islands. The
proposition has been made on the
ground that the volunteer officers are
mustered out of service at San Fran
cisco, thereby becoming private citi-
points east of California metropolis. The
proposition has not met with favor by
several passenger officials, who believe
that even in view of the fact that the
officers technically are returned to the
ranks of private citizenship in San
Francisco, they are entitled to the re-
duced rates as much as if they were
still in the government service when
they started for the east. The matter
is to be definitely decided by next Tues
day. There is an impression that the
proposition will be voted down.

were fairly large. Cash wheat was quot
ably lower with but little inquiry. Reports

JOKE ON JOKERS.
Took the Wrong Saddle, and May Be
Arrested For Theft

Monday night, during the election at
the Topeka Athletic association, three
practical jOkers saw a horse standing
in front of the bdilding which they sup
posed belonged to DR.. H. B. HOgebOOm.
They took the saddle off and hit it.
After the meeting they went out with
HOgebOom to see his discomforture and
the horse was gone. 1t did not belong
to the doctor but the saddle was still
secreted. The joke was on them and
since then they have been hunting for
the owner in fear they would be ar
rested for stealing. Today another
joker called up one OF the trio over the
telephone and said he was Chief of Po-
lice Ramsey and wanted to know about
the theft of the saddle. The joker at
the other end told him to wait and he
would go right down to the station and
explain. He did. He explained to the
real Chief Ramsey and it was the first
that officer had heard of it but there
was ag reat load removed from the
jOker'S conscience when he found he
would not be arrested for stealing.
