Galveston, Texas, August 2.-Colonel
c. S. Richie, United States engineer in
charge of this district, returned this
morning from trip of inspection of
the work done on the Baffalo bayou
ship channel He reports that the
work has been progressing slowly dur
ing the last month for the reason that
the dredge has been working in bed
of clay. He says, however, that it Is
about through this and hereafter the
work will proceed much faster There
are now three miles of the channel
completed and the piling is in
place for about two miles more. There
was considerable apprehensions lest
the high tide would injure the work.
but 1t did not do any damage Of con-
sequence. The work that had been
completed was not injured by the tide
at all but portion of the filling was
washed out from some of the work
that had not been finished. This how
ever, amounted to very little.
While on this trip Colonel Richie in
spected two of the obstacles to navi-
CATION in the Buffalo bayou. One of
these is located at Massie's reach, just
below the mouth of Greens bayou. 1t
is the wreck of an old excursion bark
and is in about eight or ten feet of
water Another is located in the mid
die of the bayou opposite the upper
end of the Clinton warf. 1t is the
wreck of a dredge boat and is in from
fifteen to twenty feet of water. From
its location is dangerous to navga-
ton.
There are two other obstacles re-
ported in the bayou and they are To-
Gated within the city limits of Houston
Colonel Richie did not inspect these on
this trip but will make a special trip
for this purpose in few days.
Colonel Richie says that these OBJ
stacles must be removed and that he
thinks now is the best time to have it
done. 1t is probable, therefore, that
arrangements for their removal will
be made at an arly date.

Two Men shocked to DEATH.


Shreveport. La, August 2.-Fore-
man Potts and Whitworth, two line
men of the Cumberland Telephone
company, who were working on the
wire near Sudin's store, on Texas av-
enue, were shocked to death yester-
day afternoon. They were stringng
a covered wire and the line gave out
whereupon Foreman Potts came to the
ground and joined the ends. He was
cautioned that the fastening was in
secure. but remarked that it would
give him no trouble, and again mount
ed the pole. When the exposed part
struck the leak" in the trolley, death
came at once. Whtlworth had dropped
the coil he was holding and when he
saw the horrible position of his fell
low workman he rushed forward to
snatch the wire away. The act of IN
selfish devotion was his last. AS soon
as he touched the suspended wire he.
too. became the victim Of the electric
current. Whitworth was married.
leaving a wife and little boy to mourn
his untimely death. He came here
from Hughes Springs. Texas, and was
brother of Mail Carrier Whitworth.
Potts was recently married to Miss

ceeGs:
IF money can be obtained, why not
make war on the foreigners? China is
not yet defeated 1t is only the govern
ment's eyes which are blinded by dis

then it is a case of being greedy to live

cept against foreigners? How can we
otherwise employ our regiments? Dur
ing 1901 much money will be collected
through lottery gambling and general
taxes. But they were never satisfied.
Therefore should the hous tax be coll

BOILER TUBE

Il great failure attempted to make the
run over the one mile measured course
in Narragansett Bay this afternoon.

The injured are: Hugh Hanlon, Pat
rick Hobcn, Patrick Moran, Charles
Manlove, G. r. Webb and another Will

All OF the men are employees OF tn

and the victims suffered greatly until
they reached the torpedo dispensary
where surgeon Steel and DR.. Sweet of
Newport attended them.

ing easily tonight.
Lieutenant Commander Rees brought
the five men across the harbor on a
special launch.
Unfortunately the ambulance had no
cover and as the men bandaged to their
eyes were driven through the streets IN
der the burning sun they furnished a
dreadful spectacle.
The pressure on the boiler was light
at the time of the accident compared with
what it was built to stand.
The tube in blowing out scattered
fire from the fire box and the men were
burned as well as scalded. One case
may possibly prove fatal. The others
are likely to be discharged from the
hospital in from two to three weeks.
Secretary Dmock and Superintendent
Caskey of the Harhn 4 Hollingswortt
Company were aboard the boat at the
time but did not make Il statement in
regard to the accident.
This is not the first accident that has
hefelI the Stringham and in naval centres
the vessel is looked upon as failure.
When it was first built and taken away
for trial trip tube blew ont. At that
time so many men were not injured.
Then il was announced that something
was the matter with the propeller. There
was long delay before the vessel could
he given another trial trip. At last it
was announced that everything was in
readiness for the trial. One Of the boil
ers dropped Il wrench in the machinery
and there was another delay. Tn"
Stringham lay at the wharf of the Com
pany in Wilmington all winter. On ac-
cont of the failure of the boat to come
up to the government regulations and the
previous accidents the trial today was

blow on the chest, Michael Rogers, %
years old Of No. so Stone street, was
to-day held without bail to await the
&C tion of the Grand Jury.

Ing in the same shop and spending
their evenings in each others com.
pany.
On Saturday night they went to a
saloon near their home to meet man.
While waiting they engaged IN a
game of cards, and in the course OF
the game dispute arose as to who
had taken the last trick, The argu-
ment grew warm and ended only
wien Rogers, angered by a taunt
from bis friend, struck him heavily
on the chest Murray sank into a
chair, and was dead before his friends
could ummon physician.
Rogers was Frustrated by grief. He
wept and insisted that he had 10 in.
tentIon of injuring his chum, Mrs.
Edward Murray, mother Of the de-
ceased young man, said to-day that
her boy had heart trouble, and that
bis death was probably due as much
to that as to the blow administered
by his friend and chum. Rogers is a
slender young fellow, % years old,
while his chum, Murray, was much
taller and heavier, although three
years younger.
The charge OF murder made against
Rogers by Police Captain DAILY will
probably be changed to manslaughter
as the Chief of Police and Others are
