NEW YORK, Oct. ga special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long will make q recon-
mendation for but limited increase Of
the new navy in his forthcoming an
nual report. It is his purpose to spe-
oially devote his pen to the abolishment
of the limit of cost now placed upon
armor plate purchased by the govern
ment and to ask for sufficient appropri-
ations to enable the government to pro-
cure Krupp armor for battleships Of the
Maine class and the projected battle-
ship and armored cruisers.
It can be stated that he will certainly
not recommend the authorization of
more than three protected cruisers Of
the Olympia class. and he may deter
mine to recommend in their place that
congress authorize several small
sheathed cruisers and gunboats capable
of doing effective work in the Philip

NO FOOD ON BOARD.

Passengers ON . Vessel From Capo Nome
Reach SEATTLE in Pitisble Shape.
SEATTLE. WASH. Oct. 26.-After a
voyage of % days from Cape Nome,
during which two men died of starva-
tion and others were half crazed from
want of food and water, the schooner
Hera arrived in port during the morn.
ing with nearly 200 passengers on
board. News of the wretched plight Of
the Hera's passengers was brought here
Sunday night by tho steamer Lakme.
The revenue cutter Grant and the tug
Sea Lion Immediately started after the
schooner. They succeeded in finding the
schooner about 30 miles off Cape Flat
terry. The two deaths reported are
those of J. S. Ryan, who came on board
q we'll man, but through bad food and
lack of attention gradually grew worse
until he died on Oct. 16. The other
case is much the same. George Lamby,
through want of nourishment and con-
finement in illy-ventilated quarters,
was taken with typhoid fever and died
on Oct. 21. While he was sick he had
absolutely no medical attention. Both
men were buried at sea. From the
statements of other passengers it is
learned that the agent of the ship at
Cape Nome
Guaranteed Plenty Of Good Provisions
on the way down. They were charged
$50 for their passage. When they were
q few days out meat, sugar and butter
ran out. The menu consisted of salt
horse and canned mutton. There was
little dried fruit on board, but only
enough to supply the table three times
with dried peaches and twice with
dried prunes. From that time on for
nearly "a days their food consisted OF
-four and water. There was plenty OF
-four, but the water was short. -Four
days ago the last of the unpalatable
salt horse was consumed. Had it not
been for rain storms which fell for q
few days they would have been without
water also.
When the Hera anchored out in the
stream the majority of the men were
so weak they could not carry their gold
dust ashore without assistance. Sew
eral passengers were crazed from their
terrible experiences and had to be car
ried ashore and taken care of. Even
taking their terrible voyage into con.
sideration the passengers unite in de.
claring Cape Nome to be the greatest
camp on earth and many Of them will
return in the spring.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 26.-The
American Railway union may be re-
vived. The organization virtually ex-
pired in 1894, at the close Of the great

Of railway brotherhood men and labor
leaders met with Eugene v. Debs be-
fore he left for the West on his lectur-

the matter and give them his answer

The reason for the proposed reorganiza-

between the railway unions and which
the railroads are said to be taking ad-
vantage Of. It is believed here that
Debs will undertake the work.

taken by our nation with respect to the
Philippine islands, and since govern
ments can derive their just powers only
from the consent of the governed we
protest against the policy which would
compel foreign people to submit to
the rule of the United States, and
against war through which the ad-
ministration is striving to enforce ita
policy.
Anti.Csnteon Resolution.
eve protest against the manifestly
forced and unjust Interpretation of the
anti-canteen law as rendered by Attor-
ney General Griggs of the United
States and upheld by ex-Secretary Of
War Alger. We urge upon the chief
executive of our nation, William Nc
Kinley, as commander-in-chief of our
army and navy, immediate considera-
tion of the case which will result in
such action as shall be in accord with
the expressed will of the people and his
own high oath of Office. We pledge
ourselves to renew efforts through petit
tions, letters, personal appeals, public
meetings and all other just means, for
the passage Of the Grout bill which
will come before our next congress-"
