BIG INCREASE OF NAVY.
Special Construction Board Will Rec
ommend Six Cruisers and
Twelve Gunboats.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-A project for
further naval increase which congress will
be asked to authorize at the next session
for immediate construction involves eigh-
teen warships, three Of them armored
cruisers of the improved BROOKLYN type
but double the size and formjdabieness of
that excellent vessel: three Improved Olym-
pias, one-thtrd larger and proportionately
more powerful than the fine flagship that
led the way into Manila bay, and twelve
guHboats of type recommended by Ad-
miral Dewey as essential for the effective
patrol of the Philippine archipelago.
The latter class, to use the admiral s
own expression. summing up the results of
his experience in Asiatic waters, must be
quickly built. must be able to go out to
Manila under their own steam, must draw
less water than any gunboat now in the
navy. must maneuyer easily in tortuous
channels and, above all, must have sufi-
cient protection to resist capture if strand
ed. Such boats, in his opinion, are needed
now and will always be needed to patrol
the numerous channels between the less
civilized islands. Such vessels are intended
to replace the smaller gunboats which, in
several instances, have proved unable to
take care of themselves when attacked in
their ability in the prevention of illicit
traffic between the islands carried on by
small native craft.
This is the programme now under consid-
Grafton by the naval board of construc-
tion which was named by Secretary Long
several weeks ago to study the needs of
TIE navy anu 10 SuDIuit recommendations
for required additions to the fleet.
The board has shown some hesitancy
about recommending a further increase Of
armored vessels at the present time. as
six higher powered and larger armored
vessels than have yet been built for the
navy were authorized by the last congress
and have not yet been designed. and be-
cause 5000 tons of armor are required foi
vessels already authorized. an amount
which can scarcely be delivered in less
than four years after its manufacture be-
gins.
The necessity of more first-class armored
cruisers is, however, fully recognized and
the board to-day favored three of about 49,
600 tons displacement, of type involving
no marked departures from the Brooklyn
in arrangements. though of double that
vessels power and tonnage and defensive
qualities. At least one of the members
favored a more formidable vessel, COM
bining the salient features of the best
cruisers and battleships abroad which is
described as the terrible. horrible, dam
nable' class and this will have further con-
sideration tomorrow.

DEATHS IN THE ARMY.
1898, and June 30. 1S99-496
Killed in Battle.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg's annual report gives a COM
prehensiye view of the health Of the troops,
on the field and at home, the casualties and
losses in battles and in hospitals, as ex-
tended to the sick and wounded and other
interesting information relating to the
physical welfare of the army. General
Sternberg says 1t has been his endeavOr
that the sick and wounded should be sup
piled with every comfort and restorative,
and the surgeons with every appliance that
modern science would suggest in the treat
ment of diseases and injury. The total
number of deaths in our armies, including
regulars and volunteers, from May !, 1885,
TO June 3o 1899, were 66l9. of whom 1876 were
killed in battle, 216 killed by accident, a92
died of gunshot wounds and wounds re-
ceived in action, 2.I74 from typhoid fever,
416 from malarial fever, 359 from pneumo-
mia, 342 from diarrhoea and dysentery. and
1S5 from yellow fever.
As to food supplies, General Sternberg
says he considered it wise to go slow in
changing the army ration until experience
has shown just what changes are as
suredly desirable. He refers to the agita-
ton over canned beef and refrigerated beef,
and says at that time there were on file
only two complaints as to the beef supply.
The only criticism made by medical Of
ficers he says, is that the ration for the
tropics should have less fat and more
starch and sugar.
The report recommends an increase of
the medical corps. and the establishment
of camping grounds through the country
ready for troops when they are mobilized.

IS scHLEY GOING TO AFRICA?
Renewed Conjecture That His Squad.
ron May Go Near the Seat
of War.

WASHINGTON. Nov. H.-Rear Admiral
Schley, who is about 10 assume command
of the South Atlantic squadron, called at
the navy department to-day and had a long
conference with Acting Secretary Allen
concerning the general character Of the
trip on which he Is about to embark. 1t
is the admiral's final call before leaving,
as he goes on Thursday, to New York.
where on next Saturday, he will raise his
flag on the cruiser Chicago. The sailing
orders Of the ship giving her route and des-
tination have not yet been issued, and it
is said a definite determination has not
been reached on this point.
The admirals visit led to new conjectures
as to the probability of his going to some
of the South African ports. AS to this,
however the admiral declined to say a
word and there was the same reticence
throughout naval circles. 1t is understood,
however, that this was among the matters
gone over to-day, and the view prevails in
well Informed quarters. that the govern
ments general line of policy as to the
South African war will be made known to
Admiral Schley before he sails. as there
after he will be the executive officer in
closest touch with that field of action.

In His Possession

ST. LOUIS. MO-. Nov. A.-Four zinc lined
trunks, such as are used by travelling men
to carry samples. each containing corpse,
We're taken from the baggage room at
Union station to-day, and Frank Thomp-
son, city undertaken of Memphis Tenn is
under arrest. Charges against Thompson
are being formulated.
For some time the police have been
aware that traffic in human bodies has
been going on through this city and have
been on the watch for the guilty ones Re-
Gently shipment of four bodies in trunks
was made TO w ii. Hansen, at Keokuk
Ia. for whom those captured to-day were
also intended. The expressman who hauled
the trunks from the Keokuk depot told the
station master there that he believed they
on foot and the police of this city notified
to look out for any other shipments with
the result mentioned.
When taken to police headquarters
Thompson made clean breast of the
whole affair. He said he had the contract
for burying the city dead of Memphis. For
some time he had been selling the bodies
to medical colleges throughout this part of
the country. His method was TO pack
them with excelsior in drummers' zinc lined
trunks and take them with him as baggage
as far as ST. Louis. From here he shipped
tine trunks to their destination by express
Thompson said he had been paid all the
way from $50 to 500 per body. He said the
name w. II. Hansen, to whom the trunks
were addressed in Keokuk. is fictitious
one, but refused to state who his consignee
is.
In the trunks are the bodies of three ne
groes. two men and a boy, and a white
woman. From appearances, they all died
of consumption or some other wasting dis
ease. The white woman was evidently
somebody of refinement, judging from her
looks. Her features are regular and her
hair black. Her front teeth are gold filled
All the bodies are we'll preserved
MEMPHIS, TENN, Nov. 1.-THE news
of Thompson's arrest in st. Louis was not
a surprise to the police of this city. who
have suspected for some time that whole

on in this city.
undertaking firm of f. D. Thompson &
Co., who have had the Office of county un-
dertaker for several years.
The first time Thompson became con-
spicuous before the public was a year
ago. when the newspapers made the sem
sational announcement that bodies were
being shipped from here by express in
boxes supposed to contain books. The
name of Thompson was connected with the
affair, but it was never possible to trace
the rumorS down to a satisfactory knowl-
edge of the facts.
The identity of the white woman whose
body was found in one of the trunks has
police. The records show that the firm of
Thompson &, Co. has buried several white
women recently and further DEVELOPMENTS
are expected. Lulu Atkins, white girl
died at the city hospital on October q. and
being without friends or money. she was
turned over to the county undertaken. She
came here from Arkansas.
Chief of Police Richards announced to-
night that Thompson would be brought to
Memphis for trial.

Doctors Fear Apop2exy, and Have
Forbidden Speeches and Active

NEBRASKA CITY. NEB., Nov. IA
Senator Hayward is forbidden by his doc
tors to make speeches or take an active
part in congress until his condition shall
change. They fear overwork will bring on
an attack of apoplexy.
His present Illness dates from last Fri
day, when, after overwork. he was at
tackled by what Is believed to be a slight
lesion of the brain. Three doctors are ex-
amining him and they have held two con-
situations. They resorted to blood letting.
as his trouble seems due to a fullness Of
blood that has not the right tone and lacks
iron.
OMAHA, Nov. 14-Late this evening
word was received from Nebraska CITY
which indicates that Senator HAYWARD is
In a most precarious condition and that his
death is to be expected at any time A
consultation Of physicians was held. DR..
Bridges being summoned from Omaha for
the purpose. At the close of the consulta-
ton 1t was given out that the physicians
could hold out no hope whatever of the
senator's permanent recovery and very
little If any of even a temporary improve
ment in his condition.
There Is no regular session of the legisia-
ture this winter and in case of his death
the governor would appoint successor.
1t is universally conceded that in. this
event Governor Poynter would name ex-
