The meeting was called for 10 O'Clock
and all the members were present promptly
at the appointed hour. The orders of the
Secretary of the Navy creating the board
were read. and an organization was eff
1ected- This was about all that could be
accomplished at the first session, and after
general discussion OF the scope of the
work TO be undertaken and the probable
adFantages of subdividing the labors of the
Doard among the various members an ad-
1onrnment was reached before noon.
Inc board decided at the outset that the
character or the work to be undertaken
lnVoiVlng, as it does, the preparation of
schemes of defense OF the country, as well
as or offensive campaigns, renders IL abso-
Iutely necessary that secrecy shall sur
round every proceeding. Therefore 1t was
not without difficulty that even the meeting
place or the board was discovered. and the
press has been given to understand that the
work or the body will not furnish matter

HEAVY SNOW IN COLORADO
TRAINS STALLED AND RIVERS on A
BOOM.
Precipitation for the Month of April
the Highest Since Records
Were Begun.

DENVER, Colo, April 16.-A storm OF
rain and snow, which began Saturday
night, continued today with increased
precipitation for the month up to date,
) IL inches, breaks the April record since
the establishment of the weather bureau
here in 1872. The storm covers the eastern
parts of Colorado and Wyoming. the north
ern part of New Mexico and part of Kan
sas. The storm is not severe in the
mountains as it is just east of them.
Cherry creek. which enters the Platte
river in this city, is on boom and fears
wood dam. The Platte is almost out of its
banks, rising rapidly.
In the Cripple Creek mining district it
has been showing almost constantly for two
weeks. Railroads are blockaded and mining
operations seriously hampered. Similar
conditions prevail in the Gilpin and Clear
Creek county mining districts. The snow is
from two to six feet deep on the eastern
slope of the mountains.
In Denver and the plains the snow
melts almost as fast as 1t falls. Owing to
the soft road beds, railroad trains are run
cautiously and incoming trains are arriving
several hours late.
On the divide between Denver and Colo
rado Springs and in some mountain canons
trains are stalled in heaps of snow, which
is SO heavy that snowplows buck it with
little effect.

TO BREAK THE WAVES FORCE.
An tnsubmerEabIe Floating Net De.
vised by an Italian

Consul A. NJ. Thackara, at Havre, writes
10 the State Department concerning A de-
vice invented by Baron Benyenuto d'Ales-
sandro. an Italian, for the protection of
vessels at sea, harbor entrances. light
houses, etc, from the force of the surf. The
invention, which is claimed to be more ef-
hcient than Gil in destroying or subduins
the force of the waves, consists of an un-
submergable, floating net, which is retained
on the surface of the water by means of
outrlgsers when used to protect a vessel.
or attached to buoys in the case of light
houses or harbor entrances
Inc principle involved is that that nor
tion OF the water so covered cannot acouire
the violent motion of the unimprisoned sea
ana II Is SAID that even the most gigantic
waves, upon reaching the net, instead of
cHnblng over 1t or dashing down upon and
destroylng 1t, will pass underneath become
nattened out and suffer a great decrease in
force. Ine nets are made of a thin hernp
nDer. knitted in square meshes and made
waterproof by solution of powdered cork
and pure rubber.
Experiments have been made with the de-
vice with varied degrees of success, but the
average results have been very encourage
ing. In 1891 trials We're made of the float
Ing net and developed that the effect upon
the water was absolutely the same as if oil
had been used. and in all cases the net held
fast TO Its position and received no DANA se
further experiments in the near future are
contemplated.

cerning evidence that was elected at the

attack on the superintendent and to make
II pear as far as possible on the school svs
tenn OF the District. The committees re-
port was drawn in such way that it did
not consider anything beyond the school

HIS NOMINATION SENT IN
ALIENS NAME TRANSMITTED TO
THE SENATE,
Will Leave for Porto Rico Late in the
Week to Prepare for the New
Civil Government,

The President today nominated Charles
H. Allen of Massachusetts, to be the gov
ernor of Porto Rico.
Mr.. Allen Is arranging to leave Washing
ton for San Juan toward the end of the
present week. He has abandoned his orig
inal purpose to go alone, and will be ac-
companied by Mrs. Allen and their dauKh-
ter. The trip will be made on the U. s. S.
Dolphin, Capt. Switzerland, which is now
lying at the Washington navy yard.
1t is Gov Aliens intention to make this a
nying visit, with the main purpose of con-
sulting with Gen. Davis and setting up the
new civil government. Mrs. Allen will
meanwhile ascertain just what equipment
will be necessary for the home of the new
governor.
1t Is expected that these things can be
accomplished inside of three weeks when
the party will return to the United States
and Mr. Allen VIII go directly to Massa-
cnusetts and spend some time In arranging
MS private business affairs for prolonged
absence.
The governor will return to Porto Rico on
the Mayhower, If that vessel can be made
ready In itme. She is now at the New York
navy yard, and orders have been sent to
the commandant to overhaul her and put
her in commission at the earliest possible
moment
II is understood thdt the vessel Is in
good condition and the only possible de-
lay in executing the order will be caused
by the difficulty of securing proper
crew. The present plan is to await the re-
turn to the United States from Central
America of the cruiser Detroit and tele-
graphic orders were sent to the commander
of that ship at Chiriqui Lagoon, Colombia
to start for home as soon as the ship could
be made ready for the cruise The crew

partment to make some repairs on the De-
troit in this navy yard. The extent of re-
pairs cannot be stated until a naval board
of survey has examined the ship. 1t is
known that she needs new boilers a con-
siderable item in themselves, and it is pre-

1t cannot be learned that anything has
yet been done toward selecting successor
to MIR. Allen as assistant secretary of the
navy. Secretary Long is, however, giving
the subject consideration, and some of the

at his office at the Navy Department this
morning in connection with the candidacy

NORTH CAROLINA.s VOTE.
senator Pritchard Believes 1t Will
Go to Mckinley,

The fact that We have been unable to ef-
feet fusion between the republicans and
populists of North Carolina does not pre-
sage republican defeat in that state said
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina to a
Star reporter today.
"On the contrary, feel as sure as of any,
thing 1 ever felt that the electoral vote of
North Carolina will be given to Mr. McKin-
ley. 1t will be a three-cornered fight in our
state, but we have won before in a three
cornered fight and can win again. The
populists and republicans will both oppose
the constitutional amendment proposed by
the democrats to disfranchise the negro
vote, and believe We will beat it,
The failure to effect fusion referred to by
Senator Pritchard was announced as the
result Of conferences which have been in
progress here for several days between
Senator Pritchard, Senator Butler, Chair
man Thompson Of the populist state COM
mittee and Chairman Holton of the repub-
lican state committee. They were unable to
agree upon platforms, and the conference
has adjourned sine die 1t is not believed
that further effort at fusion will be made
