inent in Enterprises.

Charlotte, N. c., March 2.-Herbert

in Boston. was born in Enosburg. Vt,
Sept. %, 1856. He began business as
draughtsman and selling agent for the
Franklin Foundry and Machine Company
of Rhode Island. He came to Charlotte
first to place machinery in the Ada cotton
mill, and located here in 1887. He had
previously lived at Worcester and Provi-
dcnce, r. 1.

lied the Charlotte Machine Company, of
which he was president He was president
of the Manufacturers Club, and was also
president of the Dover mill at Plneville,

DIsoBEYs HIS PHYSICIANS.
Pope Says II Is "a Miracle of God That
He sim Lives.

Rome, March 3, 1 a. m.-The latest news
from the vatican is that the Popes tenn
perature at midnight had fallen several
points.
II appears that his dislnclInatlon to OBJ
serve the Recommendations of his physl-
clans form an obstacle In the way of
prompt recovery. He has fun confidence
In his own strength, and does not readily
acqulesce in their advice not to move.
During the afternoon he insisted on
leaving his bed without assistance, and
also read several telegrams.
The rise in his temperature which had
given some anxiety was probably caused
in part an this way: The doctors exclude
everybody from his apartments except his
personal attendants. Or. Mazzoni re-
mained In readiness during the evening
TO proceed 90 the vatican If needed but
up to II o'clock he had not been called
and at This hour he did not expect 10 70
until daybreak. The Pope said during the
day.
1T is a miracle of God that / am stlIl
alive; for He wishes to spare His church
a terrible crisis at the present moment"
AT O'Clock in the afternoon the doctors
made a prolonged visit, lasting more than
an hour. which caused some uneaslness
On leaving, however. they gave reassur-
ing reports, DR.. Mazzoni saying there was
not the least fear that the peura, bron-
chial tubes or lungs would be affected
Despite these optimistic reports, grave
doubts were entertained as TO the result

KIPLING GREATLY IMPROVED.
He Was Greatly Affected by fhe In
terest Taken in Him.

He Was Greatly Affected by fhe In
terest Taken in Him.
New York, March 2-That Rudyard Kip
hng's condition has improved very great
ly during the past twenty-four hours is
evidenced by the fact that but one bulle-
tin was posted during the day.
That was of very satisfactory nature,
and it was announced tonight that no
further bulletins would be Forthcoming
until tomorrow afternoon. The bulle-
tin, issued at the Hotel Grenoble at 2
o'clock this afternoon, was:
''Mr. Kipling has made satisfactory
progress. He has a slight fever, but is
comfortable, though weak, and resolution
is taking place in the affected portions of
the lungs.
(Signed) "E c. Janeway,
Theodore Dunham."
Another indication that the patient is
getting along well is that tonight he
asked to be shown the newspapers, and he
seemed to be greatly pleased and affected
at the interest in his illness shown by the
American people.
Mr.. Kipling spent comfortable night.
He slept for some hours and rested well,
and again this morning he enjoyed an
hour or two of sleep. In this way he has
in a great measure recuperated his
strength, and the promises are very bright
for his speedy recovery.
According to the latest reports Kipling's
two little daughters are not so seriously
i'll as was at first thought. The elder,
Josephine, a child of six, is being cared
for at the home of Miss DeForrest,
friend of Mrs Kipling, and tonight Miss
DeForrest said that the little one was do
ing very nicely indeed" She is suffer
ing from pneumonia and 1t is not known
vet whether she is absolutely out of dan
ger.
The younger of Mr.. Kipling's daughters,
Elsie, a child of three, was said tonight
by Mr.. Doubleday to be suffering from
nothing more serious than a severe bron-
chitis, and, he said, it is hoped that The
physicians will be able to save her from
pneumonia. She is isolated at the HoCel
Grenoble.
At $50 tonight Mr.. Doubleday came
down from the Kipling apartments and
said that the patient was making rapid
improvement
At a late hour tonight Mr. Doubleday
announced that Josephine Kipling was out
of danger and Mr.. Kipling was resting

APPROVES REAL AMEnrcANIsM.
Pope simply Disapproves All Mis-
representations.

pope simply Disnpproves All Mis-
representations.
Rome March 2-The impression prevails
here-now that the dust has settled and
things can be seen csearly-that the Pope's
letter to Cardinal Gibbons approves real
"Americanism" and condemns those who
had misrepresented 1t.
The Pope collected examined and def
nitely repudlated all such msrepresenta-
lions. Evidently he believes that the things
SO alleged never existed in America, for
the American bishops would have denounc-
ed them and His Holiness thus vlndicated
true Americanism."
Archbishop Irelands letter appears TO
have ably emphasized the Popes views,
and 1t is generally understood that Cardi-
nal Rampolla papal secretary Of state, has
assured him that The Pope never condemn
ed and never intended 10 condemn real
"Americanism," declaring also that Arch
bishop Ireland has rightly interpreted the
views Of the Pope and requested him TO
make this fact known.

STOPS NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
RESULT OF sENATE's ACTION ON
PRICE OF ARMOR PLATE.

Action of Congress in Cutting Down
Number of Men, Means That 5000
Sailors VIII Go ont of Service.
VIII Interfere with the Naval
Maneuvres-Wiu Take Two Years
to Get Government ArmOr Plant
i'm Operation.
Washington, March 2.-The navy depart
ment put the big double-turreted monitor
Puritan out of commission at the Noafog<
navy yard yesterday, and it is said at the
navigation bureau that this ship must be
followed speedily by others. to the great
detriment of the plans OF the department.
The estimates submitted to Congress
based on the minimum requirements of tho
navy, provided for 10000 sailors Congress
cut this down TO 1900. There are now $1,000
men in the service, so that 5000 of these
must be dropped Immediately. That means,
according to the navigation officers, that
large part of the North Atlantic squadron
must go out of commission.
II Is probable that the heavy reduction
in the number of enlisted men. and con-
sequently of ships. win interfere seriously
with the conduct OF the naval maneuvers
this year. Notwithstanding the enormous
benefit that has been derived from such
drills in the past
Another difficulty is going to be the inn
possibility of putting into condition the
new ships as they are turned over 10 tho
government by thc builders, simply for
want Of men to man them.
The action of tho Senate yesterday in the
matter of ships armor, caused Secretary
Long to AXE prompt measures 10 bring
the subject 10 the atten Ion of the naval
committees in the House ana Senate In the
hope Of securing a change in the appropra-
ti'n bin before it Is finally enacted
VIII Stop All Construction.

the q onance bureau. in communications

action Of the Senate, II adhered TO- meant
the Il tai stoppdge Of all naval eonstruc-
ton, saying that no armor can be pro-
c ci'ed for $500 per ton. II might have hcen
possible, it Is said, at the navy department,
to SO Oh and buiF1 sblps without armor un-
der ordinary circumstances. trusting to the
nest Congress to provide for II, hue for
clause In the appropriation bill which pro-
Vldes that no ships shall be built until tho
armor Is contracted for.
The effect of the two provisions will be
to put complete stop to shipbuilding op-
erations as far as the navy is concerned.
Although 1t Is provided that a government
armor plant shall be constructed In the
event of the failure of the department 10
secure bids for supplying armor at the
price fixed, the ordnance officers say that
such a Plant could not be constructed and
a supply OF armor turned out inside of two
years at the earliest

MAY BE TROUBLE AT SANTIAGO.
Cut in Expenses VIII Put 700 Men
Out of Employment.

Out of Employment
Santiago March 2.-After considerable
delay the former Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes, which was sunk in the channel
of Santiago harbor during the lombard
ment by Admiral Sampson's fleet. on June
6, has been raised and pumped out, the
government tugs assisting the wrecking
company.
She was brought up TO the city this aft
ernoop. Such repairs as can be readily
effected will be made here, after which
she will probably be towed TO Havana
though final orders as to her movements
have not yet been received.
A climax has been reached in the affairs
of Santiago. The estimates for February
have been reduced from $40, 600 to $50, ,O00
and amounts aggregating $4,000 expended
last month have been disallowed by the
authorities a Havana. During the month
of March all expenditures for the entire
province must be kept within $4,000
Even those Cubans who are most friend
ly to the United States authorities say
this amount is less than that which was
allowed at any time under Spanish re-
gime.
Tomorrow more than 700 mon will be
out of work, a circumstance generally rec
ognized as a dangerous menace to public
safety at this iuncture, and involving a
large additional police force.
Many Cuban politicians who have not
yet received appointments will, it is fear
ed, use the occurrence to inhame the minds
of the unemployed. The result is difficult
to forecast. AS straw showing the way
the wind is blowing, company of the
Ninth Immune Regiment has been ordered
into the city. This move is probably con-
nected with the expected trouble.

SIX REGIMENTS FOR MANILA.
oT1s TO DE REINFORCED BY FRESH
TROOPS Al ONCE.

orc Artillery and Five Infa ntry
Regiments Ordered to San Fran
cisco-They May Replace the Vol
unteers, But the Latter VIII Re-
main If the Situation Does Not Inn
uroye-Otis Will Then Have Ma
iority of the Regulars.
washington, March 2.-The Secretary of
War has ordered the reinforcement Of
Gen. Otis by six regiments.
These are the Sixth Artillery, scattered
along the Atlantic coast states; the Sixth
Infantry, at San Antonio; the Ninth In
fantry. at Madison Barracks; Thirteenth
Infantry. in New York state; Twenty-first
Infantry. at Plattsburg, N. Y, and the
sixteenth Infantry, at Fort Crook and
neghborlug posts in the Middle West.
These regiments have been ordered to
make ready TO proceed to San Francisco,
and then TO Manila.
In answer TO the direct question as -
whether or not regular troops ere intended
10 relieve a corresponding number of vol
uDteer soldiers at Manila, it was said at
the war department that while that would
probably be the case, it was not possible
yet to make positive statement.
This means that if when the reinforce
ments arrive at Manila the conditions are
satisfactory the volunteers will be brought
home; but if Gen. Otis shall have need
for all of the combined force then they
must wait.
The reinforcements are made up of troops
who are net only regulars in the fun sense
Of the term, but who have been through
the Cuban or Porto Rican campaigns. I hey
know what it is to be under fire; how TO
hunt Indians, and also how to fight in the
tropical jUngles.
With these troops replacing the same
number Of volunteers Gen. Otis viii have
a majority of the regulars in his COM
mand something the war department has
earnestly desired to bring about at the
earliest possible moment.
The position Of the American command
er at Manila will also be safeguarded
against the effect of a sudden and forced
discharge of volunteers by the ratification
Of the peace treaty.
