SLEEP ON THE FULTON IN A STORM
SUBMARINE BOAT A SUCCESS
She Lay Six Feet Under Water
While the Waves Rolled
Above Her.

The greatest endurance test ever ac-
complished by any submarine boat in
the world was successfully finished
at New Suffolk. II. l.. Sunday morning
by the Holland submarine torpedo
boat Fulton. The Holland people
instituted the test. With bedding
and provisions on board. her occu.

tower cover was closed over them
and the Fulton began to settle and
rested at the bottom of the enclosed
basin. An arc lamp hung over the
water to assist the watchers who were
to stay by the Fulton all night At
low water the tower was awash, but
the sea broke over It so that there was
no possibility of its being opened for
ventilation. The wind increased to
gale. and the tide soon rose In the
basin, so tnat all of the Fulton was
covered by six feet of water till she
appeared at the end of the test. At
the expiration of the 10 hours the
Fulton rose to the surface so suddenly
as to startle the watchers. Soon
the cover of the turret was opened
and Captain Gable climbed up, saluted
the watchers. and looked about him

he. II hadn't expected to see weather

on deck and soon all the crew were

no particular sensation when going
down for the test. The Fulton went
down as usual and rested on the bot.
tom without any considerable motion
None OF us suspected there was a
fierce storm raging over the six feet
of water above us. The crew was
divided into watches, dach man stand

foreign boats and is a feat never be

Talk Of Changes - Secretary Gage
Aggrieved over An Appointment
Hitchcock Wants Control.

The position of Secretaries Gage
and Hitchcock as members OF the Cab.
met have become so unpleasant for
them that there has been a notable
revival of the talk of an early retire
ment. particularly on the part of Mr..
Gage. The Secretary OF the Treas
ury feels aggrieved over the selec'
tlon of Senator Stranahan to be Col.
lector of the Port of New York. That
selection was made without consuta-
tion with him, although he Is respon.
sible. In measure, for the proper
discharge OF the duties of the office.
The night before Stranahan's appoint
ment was announced the Secretary
assured newspaper men that there
coould be no truth In the stories about
Stranahan's selection because he had
not even heard the Senator's name
mentioned The Secretary's friends
say that his position is almost unten.
able. Secretary Hitchcock Is the
leader of one of the factions In Mis-
souri,. X. G. Kerens Is the other.
They nave locked arms for a contest
over Federal Offices which does not
appear to be susceptible of compro'
mise. Kerens was recognized prior
to Hitchcock's advent in the Cabinet.
The fight now going on has originated
since that event. The Kerens men
will not be satisfied with carrying of
the plums. They declare that Hitch.
cock must get out of the Cabinet.
Hitchcock. in talk with an inter.
mediary. Is said to nave declared that
he would not remain in the Cabinet
If he could not control the patronage
of his own city at least.

FIRE IN A MINE.
100 Men Perish in Bullion Tunnel at
Telluride, Col.

The most disastrous accident that
has ever occurred in a metallic mine
in Colorado resulted Thursday from
fire which burned the buildings at
the mouth of the bullion tunnel
through which the Smuggler-Union
mine is worked and filed the mine
with deadly gas and smoke. II is
believed the loss of life will reach
100. Twenty-Five are known to have
perished. The fire started early in
the morning from a defective flue
in the bunk house at the mouth of
the tunnel. The smoke from the
burning converter house, began pour
ing into the tunnel, which. with the
shafts of the mine, acted as chin
ney. The day shift had just gone
on duty and before they could be
warned the levels and the slopes were
filed with gas.

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.
Not an Idle Wheel In Mill or Factory
While All Labor Is Well
Employed.

r, G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
says Never before in the history
of the United States was there sucn
great reason for day of National
Thanksgiving. This country has
made unprecedented strides toward
a position of international supremacy,
not only in commerce, but also in
finance. To marked degree busi-
ness enterprises have proved success
full. An idle wheel in mills or fac
tories is the exception, while labor Is
so well employed at high wages that
consumptive demands sustain market
values of all staple commodities.
Transporting facilities have been un-
able to keep pace with the nations
requirements, many complaining of
tardy deliveries which alone act as
brake on commercial progress. BY
closing lake navigation. lower tenn
perature will relieve the railway sit
uation, thousands OF cars being re-
stored to inland traffic This same
factor of seasonable weather stimu-
lates retail dealings, and prompt col
lections swell bank exchanges. Care
full search discloses few unfavorable
factors In the iron and steel situation.
Probably the least satisfactory con-
ditions are found at plate mills, which
report an uneven distribution of or
ders. A few large concerns appear
to secure the bulk of new business.
but heavy orders for cars will largely
expand the buying. while the new
combination will put this class of
mills on a stronger basis. In rails
| there Is no apparent limit to the or
| ders placed, though some mills are
unable to guarantee delivery within
year. One Pittsburg report places
the years output OF structural mater
| ial at 100000 tons. After six months
of more or less interruption all ma
chine shops and kindred plants at
! San Francisco have fully resumed.
and it is certain that the greatest
| force on record is now engaged in the
various departments of iron and steel
making. Raw material at the South
has advanced, but at Central points
pig iron is steady. though rapidly abb
sorbed. Sole leather is remarkably
well sustained with stocks scarce. and
upper leather is also firm. although in
better supply. Wheat holds at about
3 cents above last years prices, de-
spite the marked difference in size Of
crops. Receipts for the week were
! 7,iS1,529 bushels as against 4.72S. 100 a
year ago. while the export movement
Is equally gratifying. especially from
ments from the United States for the
week were 5.040.417 bushels against
2.606.776 last year.
