WHY SAGE IS CAUTIOUS.
His Experience With a Congressman
Hard of Hearing.

An incident which has caused Secre-
tary Gage to be exceedingly cautious of
deaf men" occurred recently, says Sue
cess.
Congressman John H Ketcham, of Do
yer Plains, N. Y, is more or less hard of
hearing. He holds his hand up to his
ear while you are addressing him, and
manages to catch your meaning fairly
well. Just how much he hears is open to
question, and the secretary of the treas
Try, for one, has his own suspicious that
"Uncle john is not quite so deaf as he
appears. 1t happened this way:
Mr.. Ketcham had been In congress so
long that he had used up all the patron
age to which he was entitled, and
couldn't get any more places for his con-
stituents. But one day this spring he
called on Mr.. Gage.
There is a man UP in my town." he
explained, 'who must be fixed, and I
want you to fix him"
'T can't do it," replied Gage (and up
went Ketcbam's hand to his earl. be
cause there are no vacancies in my de-
partment'
Eyes. that's what he wants." said

you ever realize this one fact: That If

your little girl and assault her, would
you feel disposed to leave him to the
courts, even If you knew he would be
hung the next day?
an the case of that poor little baby in
Paris, Texas, for which the negro was
burned, what would you have done? The
details are fan1iliarsto you Only six wears

FOR TROOPS IN ALASKA.
Departure of Transports, With Mill
tary Stores.

Ouartermaster General Ludington has
been informed of the departure from Seat
tie yesterday of a large military expedition
to Nome and other points in Alaska. to
establish the new military department in
that territory. Three vessels, specially pre-
pared for service in the arctic region. left
Seattle yesterday. with officers and all
sorts Of military stores and supplies, for
the new department. The steamer Seward,
which will be the dispatch boat Of Brig

partment, started north yesterday morning.

who are bound for Nome; 200 tons of sub
sistence stores for Yukon river points, 100
lJO tons of coal outside of her bunkers.
The chartered steamer Athenian. which
also left yesterday afternoon for Nome ana
St Michael carried 100000 feet of lumber,
eighty-six head of live stock, forage, 4OO
tons of coal in sacks for the return trip of
the ship, and supply of lighters and surf
boats which will be utilized in transferring
the cargo. from the vessel to the shore.
There are also on this vessel 12o quarter

etc who are to be employed in the con-
struction Of new army posts. The trans

tion left last night with large supply of

A MARKED SUCCESS.
Experiment in Fitting Two BattI.
Ships for Sea.

Experiment in Fitting Two Battle
Ships for Sea.
The experiment with the battle ships In
diana and Massachusetts has been a mark
ed success. Telegram received at the Navy
Department this morning from Admiral
Sf.as Casey, commandant of the League
Island navy yard, announced that the two
big ships were completely equipped and
ready for sea. The Indiana would pull out
at noon and the Massachusetts, about two
hours later for Newport via Hampton
Roads. The delay in the case of the latter
was not because Of any lack of prepared
ness on the part Of the ship, but simply be-
cause the tide would not serve until after
noon.
Thus 1t appears that these two formid
able vessels have been made ready for any
required service in the short space of about
forty hours. and that, too, without the
slightest warning or notice to the COM
mandant Of the League Island navy yard
or the commanders of the two battle ships.
The result is regarded a satisfactory
demonstration of the policy of keeping
ships ''in ordinary recently adopted by
the Navy Department. The record made
at League Island is about good as any
made abroad with superior facilities in the
latter case, and 1t is not doubted that this
little experiment will be noted with interest
by other naval powers.

NAVAL BILL CONFERENCE.
Practical Agreement After Two
Hours Session.

The conferees on the naval appropriation
bill decided to report a disagreement after
session of two hours this morning. The
ccnferees expressed confidence, however, of
being able to conclude the controversy II
another meeting were ordered.
The conference developed the fact that
the representatives of both houses were
willing to make concessions, and in reality
an agreement practically was reached,
though 1t was decided to first report dis
agreement to both houses in order to test
the feeling.
The agreement eliminates all inland and
coast work. confines the survey to the
ocean. eliminating all reference to the lakes
and to photographic surveys and reduces
the 100000 appropriated by the Senate
amendment to $4,000. The amendment as
thus agreed upon reads as follows:
ocean surveys-Includng the waters OF
Cuba and the Philippine archipelago. but
not the coast thereof, and for the purchase
of nautical books. charts and sailing direc-
tions and freight and express charges on
the same. $4,000"
This is a compromise in all respects. The
original provision in the House bill was for
ocean surveys only. and it appropriated
100000.
This settlement is. said to be satisfactory
to the superintendent of the coast and geo.
detic survey.

unanimous consent for consideration of the
Senate resolution making an emergency ap-
preparation of $4,000 to repair damage In

ing the testimony taken in the Occur

Mr.. Richardson appealed to Mr.. Lentz to
withdraw his objection, stating that unless
this appropriation was made further dam

Mr. Lentz was obdurate, however, and
favorable action could not be secured.

seemed desirable. Mr.. Payne said today
1t was not his purpose to call the commit

weeks before Congress reassembled. as by
that time 1t will be determined how far the
surplus is maintained and about how much
in the aggregate a revenue reduction is
warranted. With this Information in hand
Mr.. Payne does not apprehend much diff
Guilty as to the details of proper distribu-
ton of the reductions. Extended hearings
have already been held and the chairman
also has received a number of briefs cover

TO DISCOURAGE EMIGRATION.



tices to the Provinces.
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 1.-THE alarm
of the Japanese government at the emigra-
tion to the United States and Canada is
expressed in Japanese papers.
The Japan Mail says the mikado's govern
ment is powerless to pass any act regulat-
ing emigration without enabling legislation
by the diet. The government has notified
all governors of provinces to issue procla-
nations declaring that emigration to Amer
lea is a hazardous and difficult undertaking.
News from northern Japan brought by
the steamer Empress Of Japan indicates
that the earthquake of May % caused more
damage than was at first supposed.
Ii Hung Chang is again In high favor,
the dowager empress having conferred upon
him the highest decoration at her disposal,
that of the square dragon.
Much comment, but little grief, has been
heard in Pekin over the violent death OF
Ii Lien Yen, the favorite eunuch Of the
empress dowager. He had amassed for
tune of 3S,OOO.0O0 taels and he Is alleged
to have been poisoned by relatives who de-
sired his fortune.

ranged for and except in three instances
the apr ointees are at work, or will be with

perience of highly technical nature. Abb
solutely every other place is filled, 1t is
said.
The bulk of the appointments were made
