rapid-f1re gun practice and subcaiber in
stEuctton.
The weather Is perfect and the health of
all Of the men excellent The trip from
Washington was without incident, and so
far has proved a most enjoyable outing for
both the officers and men. After leaving
the wharf at foot Of Water street, Wash
ington, the Fern steamed down the Poto-
mac, dropping anchor for the night of Co
lonfal Beach at midnight. At o o'clock Sum-
day morning anchor was weighed and Point
Lookout reached about o'clock in the
afternoon.
The weather was threatening all night
and steady rain set in at daybreak yes
terday morning, which kept up until noon.
This did not hinder the reserves, however
for they donned their oilskins and proceed
ed with the program which was originally
laid out.
The engine room men, under Chief Engi-
Eeer Thomas w. Power. have done excel
lent work and deserve credit for the ardu-
Gus duties which they have performed in
connection with the trip. Commander
Hams considers this the model trip of the
District reserves and has nothing but words
of praise for the officers and men under
him, who have worked so faithfully to make
the cruise a success.
Station bills were made out yesterday
and each. man assigned to his position on
the ship. The men are neatly uniformed
and thoroughly equipped for the cruise, and
made an excellent appearance when they
arrived today.

The coolest man 1 ever met said
New York fireman, L met at fire in
dwelling house on 9th avenue. We found
him in an upstairs front room dressing to
go out. The fire by this time was surging
up through the house at great rate"
- Hello, there We hollered at him when
We looked in at the door, the house is
afirev
Would it disturb you If 1 should remain
while you are putting it OUT? he said lift
ing the comb from his hair and looking
around at us. He had on a white evening
waistcoat, and his dress coat lay across
chair.
Seeing us staring at him, he dropped his
comb into his hair again and went on comb
ing. But. matter fact. he was about
ready. He put down the comb put on his
coat and hat. and picked up his overcoat.
Now I'm ready, gentlemen. he said.
1--WE started. but the stairway had now
been closed up by fire. We turned to the
windows. The boys had got ladder up to
the front of the house.
Now, then we said to him, when we
came to the window.
After you. gentlemen he said. standing
back. And I'm blessed if We didn't have to
go down the ladder first"

ROOSEVELT AT RAWLINs, wYO.
Makes q Speech of Three-Quarters of
an Hour.

MAAG1 u speech OF IhFee.N&uafteF9 OF
an Hour.
RAWLINS, Wyo., September 24-Gover-
nor Roosevelt spoke at the opera house
here this morning for three quarters of an
hour. He called the attention Of his hear
ers to the economic condition of the coun-
try now and asked them to compare it
with what 1t was four years ago. He said
further:
There are unquestionab1e evils connected
with our great. extraordinary, complex and
wonderful industrial system. UnqueStion-
ably there are grave abuses connected not
merely with the individual but especially
with the corporate fortunes that have been
made. There is every reason why we
should strive inteligenty and fearlessly to
cut out these evils, and there is even more
reason why we should be careful not to kill
the patient in cutting out the disease. Act
feariessiy. l would never advocate your
acting timidly. Act intelligently, too.
Remember this: That what We have to
say to you is to be gagged strictly upon
how 1t corresponds with what we do A
promise to the public should be kept as
sacredly as promise made by a private
individual, and should be followed by per-
formance. On the one hand, you should
no more ask from public man a promise
that 1t is impossible to keep than you
should ask it in private life. When you
ask a promise in public life you should in
sist that your servants shall say what they
mean. and you should limit them to prom
Using only what they can perform.

YELLOW JACK IN HAVANA.
Private Advices Indicate n SerfOu,
Outbreak.

The surgeon generals office of the War
Department has no Information regarding
an epidemic Of yellow fever in Havana, al
though 1t is known to exist there to a con-
siderable extent. Private adyices from Ha-
vana indicate that the outbreak is quite
serious. and that the fever exists in the
best parts Of the city and among the Amer
leans who have gone there. 1t is said at
the War Department that no fears are en-
tertafned of serious outbreak among the
troops of the United States, as the troops
are outside of the city and not In infected
districts The present outbreak was not
unexpected, as fever usually develops about
this time Of year and is even worse during
the months of October and November than
in the spring. Surgeon General Sternberg
does not think there need be any apprehen-
sion concerning the spread of the disease
