EXPENDITURES FOR THE NAVY.

Secretary Long Is Preparing Some
Figures for Congress.
WASHINGTON, Sept. so.-1n anticipa-
ton of the assembling of congress two
months hence, Oct 1 has been set as The
time for receiving the annual reports
from the naval bureau chiefs outlining
the raval work to be done the coming
years Most of the estimates are now
completed and in the hands of Secretary
Long, and the more detailed reports will
go in within the next few days. Until
they have been gone over by the secre-
tary, no authentic details are available
In the main however, they are under
stood to involve little in the way of ex-
tepsive or new projects. ana to cover
only the usual requisites of the service
for the year. The chief item, as usual,
is that for the increase Of the navy
covering both construction and eng g.neer-
ing work on ships already authorized.
This will be In the ne1ghborhood of $40,
000 600. On the branch yards and docks,
it is understood, the one total will not be
far from 13,00O,000, and will not involve
any additional dry docks or extensive
changes in our naval station.
In addition to the foregoing item for
increase of the navy there is the usual
sum for repair of vessels already in serv-
ice, which is considerable item, amount
ing this year to approximately 81, ,0O0, ,000
In the branch of steam engineering the
estimates don't go beyond the require
ments for carrying forward the regular
service The item of armor and arma-
ment is of special interest, in view of the
controversy on the cost of armor, but the
future course regarding this probably
Will depend considerably on the result
of the present efforts to get armor within
the rate fixed by the last congress-

DEsERTER WHO SHOT LAwToN
So Ayers a Salt Lake Trooper, Re-
turned From LuzOn.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-A special to the
Record from Salt Lake, Utah, says:
Leon Mayhue, private in Troop l,
Eleventh United States cavalry, who re-
turned from the Philippines today, wSs
present when Gen. Henry W. Lawton
was killed last December, near San Ma
teo He saw the shot fired and declares
that the man who aimed the rifle was a
deserter from the American army. He
said:
Il was with the slzirmish line within
fifty yards of Gen. Lawton, and we saw
man in black trousers showing con-
spicuously among the white uniforms Of
the insurgent officers, come out on the
tower of the church He surveyed the
ground on which he stood very carefully,
then raised his musket and fred. At that
instant Gen. Lawton, who was dismount-
ing, moved his hand across his face as if
to brush away an insect and sank to his
knees.
I'VE found in the church about 100
yards of telegraph tape, which. inter-
preted, showed that Gen. Del Pillar and
an American had been in command of the
insurgents. That night WORD was brought
in from the insurgent line that they in
tended capturing Lawton's body. We
knew then that had there not been an
American in that company who saw him
fall the Filipinos would not have known
he was dead

VAN wYCK's ANSWER READY.
1t VIII Be Filed with Attorney GEN
eraI Davies.

NEW YORK, Sept 3O.-Mayor Van
Wyck's answer to the charge of violating
the law by investing in the securities of
the American Ice company will be in the
hands of Attorney General Davies Tues
day. The extended time allowed for the
mayor to answer expired yesterday, but
owing to today being Sunday, he secured
another additional day., On account of
GOV. Roosevelt being absent from the
city the answer will be- turned over TO
Attorney General Davies. Gov. Reose-
welt directed that this be done before
leaving the state, Notwithstanding the
fact that Lieut.. Gov. w oodruff is acting
governor and is empowered to act upon
all executive matters
Attorney General Davies. Will not take
any action on Mayor Van Wyck's answer
until the governor returns and sees fit
to act. Tht law fixes no limit OF time for
action on the part of the governor.
The attention of Mr., Croker was called
to the telegraphic report OF the speech
of Coy. Roosevelt at Kansas City last
night, in which he attacked Mr. Croker
and etner prominent Democrats by name
as being Interested in the American Ice
company. After reading. the report of
the. speech, MIR. Croker said:
They must be hard pressed, indeed,
for something to talk when they attempt
to make me and my connection with the
ice trust a. national issue. 1 bought stock
in the American ice. company for the
same reason [ bought other stocks. be-
cause | thought it was, a good invest
ment- have been buying and selling
stocks for years, and will continue doing
So And why does Mr.. Roosevelt make
me ard other Democrats who were inter-
ested in, the country the target at which
his eXpletives and denunciations are aim
ed? Why does ne not attack the Repub-
licans who are interested in the ice trust /?
The officers and directors of the ice trust
sand many of the stockholders are Re-
publicans and PERSONAL friends of Roose-
welt; in fact they are the very men who
were responsible for the nomination and
election of Roosevelt as governor and his
nomination for vice president. Why does
he not attack his friends who coneocted
and created the ice trust and who are
responsible for the raised prices? Why
does he harp on the ice strust, anyhow?
AS Mr.. Bryan says, ethe ice trust is a
purely local affair, and is not a national
issue at all. The Democrats are engaged
in a bitter and relentless war against all
trusts, but is seems Roosevelt can see no
harm in them.'' aca

BAD WRECK IN OKLAHOMA.
Two Killed and Fifteen Injured
Near Guthrie.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. sO.-A North
bound through passenger train on the
Santa Fe road due here at 4:40 p. M,
was wrecked at Waterloo, flag station
10 miles south of Guthrie tonight, and
two passengers killed and fifteen injured.
The train left Oklahoma City forty-five
minutes late and was running forty-five
miles an hour, and Engineer John Rain
felt a jar, and found the rear trucks of
the tender broke. He reversed the lever
and attempted to stop the train. In a
few seconds the baggage and express
and mixed cars were off the track, and
moment later the smoker was forced
into the siI by the momentum of the
train behind, toppled over and turned
upside down with a crash. The day
coach left the track partially and then
the whole train came to a standstill
Everybody in the smoker was more or less
hurt. Thomas Mayer, hardware travel
ing man, from Oklahoma, was thrown to
the roof with terrific force and his skull
fractured. He struck the lamp and his
head and face were fearfully cut He
was killed instantly. Edmund Shook,
cattlemar from Johana, Tex, was hurled
half the length of the car and after being
taken out started to walk, but fell over
and died in few minutes from internal
injuries.

Engineering Work by Thayer school
Men for New Trolley Line.


BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. 3O.-(Special.)
The great Westinghouse interests Of
Pittsburg, which control the extensive
copper mines at Copperf1eld, in this state,
are preparing to build novel trolley
road from the Smines TO. the Boston &
Maine railroad. Unlike other trolley
roads, it will be built with standard rail
road rails, and will be designed for the
transportation of regular freight and
passenger cars, so that through ship
ments made be made from the mines 20
the Westinghouse electric works in diff
ferent parts of the country.
Another novel feature of this road is
the fact that it has been laid out by an
engineering staff secured by the whole
sale enga agements of an engineering col
lege, including both faculty and students.
The Thayer School or Gfvil Engineering
connected with Dartmouth college at
Hanover, N. H, which has in the past
supplied so manya distinguished railroad
engineers, did the work of reconnaissance
and preliminary location under its direc-
tor, Prof. Robert Fletcher, as chief en-
gineer. s-
AS the Thayer school, has always been
! an interesting combination of the practi-
cal and theoretical, -thesYoung men were
fully as competent to do this work as
any staff which could have been Sc
cured. The problem which was present.

was made the more interesting by its
limitations. The maximum grade was

Rev. Marion D. Shutter entertained a
large congregation at the Church of the
Redeemer last evening with history of
the Salem withcraft. He spoke of the be-
lief OF the people of old Salem In a per-
Tonal devil, as one of the principal things
that made witchcraft delusion possible
Starting with the old parsonage in Dan
Vers, which was, in 1892, the home of the
Rev. Samuel Paris, his nine-year-old
daughter and eleven-year-old niece, he
portrayed the two chilren playing with
teats of magic and sieight-of- hand in the
kitchen with their colOred servant during
the cold winter months to while away the
time. This playing with magic had the
effect of exciting the young minds of the
children to such an extent that they
hnally became hysterical and subject to
most violent fits and commissions
The acquaintance of Mr. Paris and the
children were unable to understand their
condition and the cause of the Mysteries,
and when it was finally suggested that
they were bewitched the people in gener-
al were ready to accept that solution of
the mystery.
Efforts We're Immediately made to find
who had bewitched them, and the chill
dren themselves were encouraged in the
Idea that they were afflicted, so much so
that their condition became decidedly
worse, and the general CONSERVATION in
creased. While the Mysteries of the chill
hren became more and more pronounced,
the already high-Strung nerves of the
populace began to bend and reign of
terror existed throughout the whole coun-
try. Friends turned against friends, and
It could almost be said that children turn
ed against their parents. No one knew
whom to trust, and everybody was sus-
picious of everybody else. Every little
Rilment was attributed to witchcraft,
and everything out of the most ordinary
run was laid at the door Of somebody
who was supposed to have entered into
compact with the devil.
The delirium of the children was taken
as positive evidence against any one who
might be accused, and the noblest peo-
pie in the community were condemned
on the most trivial evidence and were
summarily' executed, martyrs to the
truth. Any one of them might have
saved his or her life by confessTng his al
lance with his satanic majesty, for it
was considered that a confession broke
the spell, but they would rather die than
live by claiming to have at some time
In the past c--corn allegiance to the devil
1t was not until one day nineteen per
sons were hanged on Gallows hill, VIC
tins to the direful delusion, that the peo-
pie began TO come to their senses, and
the spell Of the belief in the personal
Sevil was broken.
She address last evening was a lecture
rather than sermon. DR.. Shutters de-
scription was a most graphic one.

Although the fact that the appoint
ment had been made was already known,
the formal announcement is hailed by
the Unionist party as welcome pledge
that army reorganization will be carried
out in the most effective manner
1t was beginning to be recognized that
something was needed to give strength

speech at Derby tomorrow evening will
outline the governments scheme of army
reforms, and that the war office is ar
ranging with Lord Roberts for the re-
turn of large portion of the army oper-
ating in South Africa.
An interesting report comes from Ko-
matipoort, to the effect that Mr.. Kruger,
in letter to his wife announcing that
he is going on a six months holiday, said
in substance that after the capture of
Machadodorp he knew the struggle was
hopeless and counseled moderation, but
that Mr.. Steyns arbitrary behavior

hope and pray that President Kruger will
come to this country, for he would make
a great impression on the American peo-
pie, and they would see that the grand
old leader of South Africa, SO scoffed and
maligned by the English press, is not
only one of the grandest figures of our
time, but Is also one of the most adj
vanced. 1 believe Kruger has the quail
ties that will appeal to the people Of
this country, for he has simplicity
of manner and strength of mind, COM
bined with an inflexible purpose. / will
not compare Kruger with Rhodes, and
will not deny that Rhodes is a great
man of capability and power, who has
conceived a great purpose and carried
1t to fruition.
1T says much for the ability of Kru-
ger that standing at the head of such
small power he has made fight so long
against Rhodes, backed by all the power
of England, STOPPING to every act of In
justice, treachery and Justification.
AZ want to shatter the Hes of the Eng
glish press, and think that 1 shall be
successful here, for the American .peo-
pie, with their regard for justice and
