Uncle Sam will have no hand in
negotiating peace between Great
Britain and the South African
republics. That was made certain
when Great Britain courteously
but firmly declined the good Offices
of this government, Senator Allen
offered resolution which the Sen
ate adopted, asking for copies of
all correspondence relating to the
above, but the President has de-
clined to furnish it, on the ground
that it would not be proper to
make these mmunications public
at this time. But the declination
by Great Britain makes it quite
certain that this government will
make no further offer.

RUFUS WRIGHT IS
 SHOT BY WOMAN Millionaire Manufacturer of Bi- cycle Tires Lies at the
 Point of Death.

Chicago, April 15.-Rufus Wright, mill lonaire and treasurer of the firm of Mor- gan and Wright, bicycle tire manufactur- CTS, is lying at the point of death in a room of the Leland hotel, shot through the neck by bullet from the revolver of Mrs. Louisa Lottridge, of Pawpaw, Michi- gan. The shooting occurred in the apart ments occupied by the woman, and she and the victim declare 1t was an accident. The police were not notified until two hours after the shooting occurred, ana when Detective Sergeant Barnes arrived at the hotel he found Mrs. Lottridge. He at once placed her under arrest, and she is being detained at the Harrison Street police station. friend who had spent several hours with Mrs. Lottridge pre- vious to the shooting was also arrested She gives her name as Mrs. Ida Ross.
 Much mystery attaches to the shooting. Both the victim and Mrs. Lottridge persist in saying it was accidental while the po- lice hold that from the location of the wound there is doubt as to the truth of the declaration. Captain Colleran, the chief of detectives, says the stories of the two, while they tally as regards the cause of the shooting, differ in details.

THE DETROIT OUT
 OF COMMISSION Ordered to Report to the Ports
 mouth Navy Yard. CAUSED BY LACK OF MEN There Are Fully One Hund:red and Six ty Vacancies of Cfdoers Tn Regu- lar Line of Duty-The De-
 partment Worried
CAUSED BY LACK OF MEN

Washington, April 15.-The navy depart ment was under the necessity yesterday of ordering the United States cruiser Detroit to the Portsmouth navy yard, New Hamp- shire, to go out of commission. In addi ton to this, orders have been prepared to put the Marblehead out of commission at Mare Island, and telegraph orders have been sent to Admiral Watson to send the gunboats Bennington and Concord, now at Manila, home to San Francisco, where they will also be put out of commissions The big battleshps Indiana and Massa- chusetts, which have just been overhauled at the New York navy yard are also to be send to League Island about the first of the month to be laid up in ordinary, in stead of being commissioned,
 This remarkable reduction of the num- Der of ships in commission is ascribed at the navy department to the lack or suf- ficient number of officers to furnish een,- plements for the ships absolutely required for naval purposes. The battleship Rear sarge has just been put in commission and the Illinois, on the Atlantic side and the Wisconsin on the Pacific coast also must be commissioned immediately that the ships can be taken over from the hands of the contractors. Then there are some smaller craft like the Stringham and the Chesapeake also calling for commission and crews
 The extent of the shortage may be sug- gested by the fact that for all the four guns in the double turrets of the new bat tleship Kearsarge. but one officer could be spared, involving undue risk even in times of peace. The navigation bureau is authority for the statement that there are fully one hundred and sixty vacancies in the line of the navy and the total number of officers is really less than 1t was fifteen years ago, notwithstanding the great in- crease in the number of ships.
 The projected shortening of the course at Annapolis, provided for in the pending naval bill would not substantially relieve the situation in less than fifteen years, so the officials are striving to find some method for temporary relief, such per- haps as the graduation of the Annapolis classes for the next two years one year in advance of the usual, or an authorization for the immediate appointment to Annap- oils of about hundred extra cadets.
