of the Crew.

PORT HURON, Mich. June 3O.-The tug
Marion Teller sank in Lake St. Clair last
night and three of her crew went down
with the boat. The dead are: AL. Holmes.
engineer John Kirk, colored, cook. and
George Moisner fireman, all of Detroit.
Capt. John Cornwall and his brother, Ray
Cornwall. were rescued by clinging to an
overturned small boat. They were picked
up by the steamer Norwalk and brought to
Port Huron
The Teller was towing the schooner Can
ton across the lake when she began leaking
badly. The tugs pumps were clogged and
of no avail. The schooner's line was drop
ped and a strenuous attempt made to beach
the tug, but before reaching shore her fires
were extingushed, the steam was exhaust
ed and she filled rapidly. The two Corn
walls and Holmes jumped into their row.

small boat. The tug turned bottom side up
and sank. Kirk and Moisner went down
with it. Holmes let so of the small boat
and also sank. The Teller was owned by
Capt. Cornwall.

FUNERAL OF BENZ. SMELL.
The Arrangements Not Completed at
O'Clock Today.

3 O'Clock Today.
No arrangements for the funeral of Ben
jamin H. Smell, who was executed at the
Jail yesterday for the murder of Lizzie
Weisenberger, had been made up to 3
O. clock this afternoon. and the future dis
position of the remains was then still I'M
decided. Mrs. Smell and her daughter, Mrs.
Daniels, were this afternoon at the office
OF Mr.. w. S. Riley, the undertaken who
prepared the corpse for burial, and they
stated that they were momentarily looking
for a telegram from a brother of the exc
cuted man in Georgia, telling them whether
or not to ship the body to that state for
interment.
1t has been found that there is no casket
in Washington long enough to inclose the
body of Smell, and it is stated that one
cannot be procured at any point nearer than
New York. This has not as yet been or
dercd, it is stated. so that in any event it
is hardly probable that the funeral can
take place before Monday.

Father Mcguire was the only clergyman
who conversed with the condemned man
during the morning and walked with him

Two Alarm. of Fire.

Two alarms of fire were turned in this
afternoon and the fire department prompt
ly responded. One alarm was for fire in
the building at the northeast corner of Duh
and f streets. A. blaze was discovered in
an upper room. where there was a pile of
ashes and rubbish. What caused it Is not
known. A big crowd was attracted to the
building by the alarm, but there was moth
ing to be seen.
An hour before this alarm was sounded
the fire department was called to house
on New York avenue near 4th street. A
pile of trash in the rear of the premises
was burned. causing the belief that more
serious blaze was in progress.
There was no damage to property in
either case.

THE NEWS FROM HONOLULU
GOV. DOLE WILL NOT CALL SPECIAL
SESSION.
Wishes to Avoid Expense Plague
Situation at Sydney IL
Improving.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 30.-The steamer
Moana arrived from Australian ports via
Honolulu. bringing dispatches from Homo
lulu under date of June %. The indications
at that date were that no special session Of
the territorial legislature would be held.
When Gov. Dole presented the matter to
his advisers. the heads Of the various de-
partments, the consensus Of opinion was
that the expense of an extra session at this
time would be too great The two main
reasons for calling special session are the
extension of the fire limits to include old
Chinatown and to make provision for the
paying of the fire claims of last winter.
These are regarded as important. out the
opinion of department heads Is that they
do not justify the expense of special
session.
In speaking of the matter. Gov. Dole ad-
mitted that the opinion of department heads
does not settle the question. At the same
time he left the impression that no special
session would be called. The regular cleo
ton comes in November and the regular
session of the legislature in February:
Reports from Sydney show that the
plague situation In that city Is improving.
The daily average has decreased to less
than two cases a day. Melbourne, whlcn
had been thought to be about free from
the disease had a new case June f. The
total number of cases at Sydney up to June
6 was 2I2. of which 90 had been fatal. Dur.
ing the week previous to the departure OF
cases admitted to the hospital-the DEANS
for the same period numbering three, which
is the lowest rate since March. inere
were Sc patients in the hospital wnen the
steamer left, which is much less than the
recent average.

APPEALTOTHEGERMAN
VIEWS OF SECRETARY DICK OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Claims That the Cry of Militarism by
the Democrats VIII Have
Little Effect.

"Our friends, the democrats. are trying"
said Col. Dick, secretary of the republican
national committee, today. Ito make every
body believe that the German vote this
year will go to the democratic party. but
there is not the slightest likelihood of this
being the case.
I'm 1895 the Germans voted for President
Mckinley. They are strong believers in the
advantages of gold standard of currency.
This the republican party has given them
They know that should the democratic can
didate for President be elected which. Of
course would mean democratic control Of
Congress, then the gold standard law would
be repealed and free. coinage of silver will
be foisted upon the country. The Germans
do not want this. They are probably the
most level-headed European people who
come to live here. They know that they
money than they did in the fatherland. and
they are not people, who are led away by
flights of the imagination
IAN effort Is being made to bring the
Germans into the democratic line by scar
ing them with the bu8aboo of imperialism
which, 1t is claimed, would compel a large
increase in ouEsmilitary forces. Many Of
them have come here, to escape the strict
many, and naturally idhey would not favor
anything tending in the same direction in
this country. 1 Jam glad this subject has
developed thus early In the campaign, be-
cause the Germans will have time to read
and study what the actual conditions are
as to our military forces, comparing them
germany has over 81, 900, 900 people. Its
standing army II 60OsDOO men, an average
of IN soldiers 80 every 1000 people. The
United States has 76QoO, 900, and stand
ing army of 65. 00O men, which Is equivalent
to SO Of / soldier to every 1000 of our pop
ulation While iAerm&hy has nearly eleven
soldiers more per 1.eD0 of her people than
we have there cannot be the slightest
chance of the effect of imperialism being
experienced in this country.
France has fourteen soldiers to every
1000 of it's population; Germany more than
eleven; Austria-Hungary and Russia more
than six each; Turkey and Italy each more
than seven: Great Britain more than five
and one-half. while the United States has
less than one soldier per 1000 of its pop
ulation. There can surely be no chance Of
the military strength Of the United States
ever being increased to the proportion that
exists in European countries.
"As a city grows in size and extends its
area the first thing for which the citizens
living there ask Is more police protection,
Our country IL like a large city, and the
bigger 1t grows the better It should be pro-
tected. But the United States has been
growing and growing year after year. and
It's population has doubled since the civil
war, while our standing army has bsen
kept nonhnally at 26.0OO men year after
year."

available Both are eight-room buildings.
the sum of 81, 500 having originally been
appropriated for the site and house for the
northeast section, while $H,JyO was pro-
vided for the site and building for the
southeast section. The Commissioners paid
sS,92495 for the site for the house in the
northeast section, which left s2S.5775.05 with
which to construct it. To this sum Con-
gresS at its recent session added sl2,0D.
For the site in the southeast ST.. 195 was
paid, which left the Commissioners $33.3O5
with which to construct the building. Con-
gress has added 5000 to this amount.
For providing the heating apparatus for
these buildings Mr.. H. l. Gregory today
agreed to do so for S2,4D and 5000. re-
spectively, while NJ. G. Smith & Co. of
Pittsburg offered to provide the heating APP
paratus for the building in the northeast
section for $3.35S From these figures it
will be seen that the Commissioners have
at last secured bids which will enable them
to construct the two school buildings and
heat them.

Business Was Dull in Stocks on New
York Board.
TENDENCY WAS TOWARD WEAKNESS
Berlin Continued to Buy Some Of
the Pacific Issues
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. June 3O.-London cables
this morning reported American railway
shares as steady at about our closing
prices. Business there was on a moderate
scale as a rule. Berlin's continued pur-
chases of securities belonging to the Pa
cif1c group of stocks about the only
feature of the trading in that market.
The local exchange was absolutely void
of news. and the early trading without fea-
ture. with the exception of little strength
developed in Jersey Central which opened
up full point from last nights closing
price. and quickly gained another point on
inside manipulation. The general list how
ever, showed a tendency to sag on the few
transactions that were made. and the pro-
fessfonal bears were inclined to help along
the feverish feeling by putting out fresh
lines of short stock. There was no indica-
lions. however. of a raid on prices. and the
little reactionary movement soon developed
supporting orders, which steadied prices
generally.
Toward the close, on n better showing
than was looked for by the banks, the gen.
eral list became stronger, though business
was very light. The bull pool in Sugar sup
ported that speciality around 1131a and rail-
lied the stock after the publication of the
bank statement.
A widely circulated pointer in the street
tIis morning declared that the bears would
attack the market in general and Burling-
ton In particular. either today or Monday
The contemplated onslaught did not ma
ter1alfZe with much virulence today how
ever. and 1t would not be surprising IL, in
stead of heavy selling on Monday the bears
did little more buying to cover some Of
their short contracts. especially in Burling-
ton and the other grangers. Showers of rain
in the northwest are reported to have fallen
widely and generously during this week,
and this Is believed to have improved tho
crop situation materially in that section
July dividends and interest disbursements
have so far had no bad effect on the money
market. and 1t Is generally believed that
there Will be no increase in loaning rates
should little furry occur it would be
snort lived as the banks are well supplied
with cash money.
The market closed steady to strong. but
without special feature
The bank statement shows that the banks
nave gained SG49.200 in lawful money
which is one-fourth of a million more than
the news bureaus estimated and against
an estimated loss by the Chronicle of one
and one-fourth millions. The loans show
me further sales Of sterling bills held by
the banks. being over one and one fourth
millions less than last week. The decrease
IN deposits is over one and one-half mil
mons larger than is called for by the two
fundamental changes. and the net result
brings the surplus up to ST.. 526 $50 The
statement is considered a good one particu-
lariy at the end of the half year. 1t is as
follows:

PORTSMOUTH, Va, June 3O.-The big
