She Found Bottom.

The accident occurred at the wharf of the Holland Torpedo Boat Co. al New Suffolk. Long Island Monday afternoon. Capt. T. Gable. who com- mands the Fulton, was in New York. In his absence the crew undertook to make trifing repairs. They let open forward hatehway. then sub merged the forward end of the boat, SO as to get at the stern. Quicker than an eel the boat went searching for the bottom. II found the same just where il was thought to be.
 Not word of the accident was told Monday night Even the eorl- pany's officials were left in ignorance of it. But after night of unsuccess- ful efforts to raise the vessel. the crew lost heart and called on the New York office for assistance.

TILLEY UNDER A CLOUD.
Missionaries Accuse Him Of Drinking
IfluOr to Excess.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Reports have
reached the Navy Department from Tutui-
la. Samoa, complaining OF the conduct Of
Captain Tilley, cOmmandant at that sta
ton. 1t is alleged that on more than one
occasion the commandant has been seen
under the influence of liquor and that his
conduct was unbecoming officer. The
department has detached Captain Tilley
from command of the Abarenda and Of the
station and ordered him TO proceed by the
next steamer from San Francisco 10 Tu-
tuila
The charges. il is proper to say. were
received at the department with surprise.
since the record of Captain Tilley hither-
TO has been unblemished. The administra-
ticn of his Office as reported officially from
time TO time has been eminently satsfac-
tory. There has been no ground for sup
posing that this officers conduct was other
wise than what ii should have been. 1t
was said at the Navy Department that the
reports of misconduct on the part OF Cap
tain Tilley have emanated for the most
part from Samoan missionaries.
Rear Admiral Silas Casey will proceed
TO Tutuili on boar his hagship. the Wis
consin, and personally investigate the
charges preferred against the captain.
Navy Department officials are very loath 10
believe the stories of unbecoming conduct
preferred against him, as his conduct here
tofore has shown no such trend

Judge Mackey, HAWKES. attorney. en-
tered on a line of questioning intended to
draw the secretary of war into the con-
troversy, but he was stopped by Senator
Cockrell who announced that no. such
questions would be permitted. the secre-
tary was not under investigation.
Major Hawkes.. in correcting his testi-

NEW MOVE BY CHINESE
WITHDRAWAL OF FOREIGN MER-
CHANTS FROM PEKING ASKED.
Demand Made by Prince Ching on the
Ground that the Capital Is Not
Treaty Port.

PEKING, Oct. 9.-Prince Ching has writ
ten to the ministers of the powers request
ing a withdrawal from Peking of the for
eign business establishments He saws that
Peking is not a treaty port; that foreign
business houses have been Illegally estab-
lished here and that all such should be
moved to treaty ports. He desires the min
listers to secure their removal. The minis
ters have arranged for meeting on the re-
quest of DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein.
German minister, to endeavor to agree
upon joint representations in opposition to
Prince Ching's demand.
A controversy regarding the payment of
octroi by foreign merchants appears to
have precipitated the issue. One foreign
house doing a large business with the Chi
nese objected to the octroi tax, arguing
that the goods were for the use of the lega-
tions.
Prince Ching points out that goods re-
quired by the legations can be ordered by
them from treaty ports, and when so or
dered are not dutiable. The foreign busi-
ness community in Peking, although small,
is important. Its presence is essential to
the comfort and convenience of the lega-
tions, and its members hope their status
may now be definitely settled
Foreign houses began to be located i'm
Peking in the eighties with the tacit con-
sent of the Chinese. The Hong Kong, the
Shanghai and the Russo-Chinese banks es-
tablished branches here before the siege OF

merchants got a footing. The Yokohama

BRIGANDS NUMBER EIGHTEEN
AND TROOPS ARE ATTEMPTING To
SURROUND THEIR FAsTNEss.
Danger that the Ransom Will Not BE
Raised Before the short Exten-
sion of Time Expires.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 9.-A trust
worthy report locates Miss Stones abduc-
tors on the summit of a mountain at
Gultepe on the. Turko- Bulgarian frontier,
near Dubnitza. 1t is said the kidnapping
band numbers eighteen. Arrangements have
been made to surround the mountain with
Turkish and Bulgarian troops. 1t has been
suggested that the abductors of Miss Stone
are members of the old Macedonian COM
mittee, actuated by motives of jealousy,
and that they are endeavoring to accom-
plsh the downfall of the present COM
mittee. The Bulgarian government has
promised to act vigorously.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 9.-Consul Gen.

of Prince Ferdinand, but it has not yet
been granted. The prince has gone to the

REAR ADMIRAL TAYLOR.
Commander of the Indiana Tells
What Took Place on Santiago.

Rear Admiral Taylor was next called. He
stated that when the battle off Santiago
on July 3 began, the Indiana, of which
he was in command, had occupied the east
ernmost post on the line of the blockade,
having taken the place of the flagship New
York when it left for Siboney.
In reply TO a question from the judge
advocate as to whether he had observed
the position of the Brooklyn at the time
of the beginning of the battle, the witness
said: Just before the beginning Of the
battle L did. and on two occasions"
After the beginning of the battle please
state where you observed the Brooklyn,
whether you noticed her proximity to the
Texas. and what it was?"
When the battle had been on about ten
or fifteen minutes my attention was at
tracted to the Brooklyn by my signal Off
Ger. Captain Dawson. He said to me that
the Brooklyn must be injured. or words to
that effect, she dropping out of ac-
tiOn. / observed the Brooklyn heading ap-
parently about south or off shore. She was
then on my port bow half a mile perhaps
ahead of me and at that time quarter or a
mile outside of the line of our column. She
was not turning far l could see. The
Texas was apparently lying still in the
water / did not see whether she was back
ing or not. The distance between those
two ships was impossible for me to see, as
tney were too nearly IN line Tor me 10
judge of the distance between them. L
simply observed that there was a bunch
Of ships ahead of me; not more than few
minutes later my attention was again
turned TO the Brooklyn. She had then pro-
ceeded a distance not over two miles and
not under one mile from the time L had
seen her first, and the second time L saw
her, as near as l could figure out, one and
a half miles to seaward of our column OF
battle. Immediately afterwards she passed
into thick smoke which lying in
patches about. l took no further notice of
her. In these two occasions, however, my
recollection is very plain, and the distance
very near to what l stated"
The Judge AdvOcate-Can you state gen.
orally in what direction the Brooklyn was
headed when you last saw her?
Not more than two points difference
from when / first saw her, apparently not
any difference, but L can say it could not
have been more than two points, and that
east when I first saw her across the bows
of the Texas. she was not headed more
than south by west when last saw her"
Did you see Cervera's vessels when they
came out of Santiago harbor?"
Yes. sir
What direction did they take first after
getting out. and how far outside the mouth
OF the harbor were they when they changed
their direction"
Their change appeared gradual. porting
their helms as they cleared the mouth of
the harbor and proceeding perhaps with
changes of course of 1 to points at time
until they were in a line parallel with
the shore"
Did you observe whether there was any
attempt on the part of any of these yes

of gold In the klondike when miners were
in need of some explosive that could be
used in the frozen ground of that region.
1t proved to be wonderful invention. and
at once attracted the attention of army
circles at Washington. Arrangements were
made for testing the explosive, and
its test fully justified the claims Dr. Tut
tie had made for it. 1t possessed remark
able qualities for use in projectiles intended

passed a bill appropriating $4,000 for the
purchase of the thorite invention in con-

provisions were embodied which prevented
the negotiations being carried to sue

NOT YET HARMED,
Miss Stones Abductors Have Granted
Short Extension of Time.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The time allowed
by Miss Stones kidnapers expired yester-
day, yet she is still alive and unharmed
1t is known now officially that her captors
have granted a short extension Of time
how much is not stated-and the officials
feel that if the responses to the appeals
of Miss Stones friends do not cease or
diminish there is yet reasonable hope for
getting the money in season to save her
life The danger in the situation lies in
the abatement of popular interest which
was so generally manifested during the
first few days following the issuance of
the appeal

by the State Department from Consul
General Dickinson at COnstautinople saying
that Miss Stone had been located in the
mountains on the Turkish frontier, and
that on Saturday last she was alive and
