INTENSE COLD OF WINTER.
Commander Randall Says Troops Deteriorats
In the Climate.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The war de-
partment has made public the annual
report of Brigadier General George
NJ. Randall, commanding the depart
ment of Alaska. General Randall
lays much stress on the rigors of an
Alaskan winter. The cold he says is
intense and continues so from No
vember to April, with severe and fire.
quent billiards. There is no dock
age for ocean vessels at the supply
port, Fort St. Michael, and all sup
plies must be lightered from ships in
the open. If the weather is rough
the work OF lightering becomes inn
possible.
General Randall says that the
most important work in the depart
ment, after providing for the housing
and supply of troops, was that of con-
structing the military telegraph line
and military road through Alaska.
The total length of the line construct
ed up to August Is was about 400
miles.
The work is being pushed as fast
as--possible, and by the close of navi-
cation this year it is hoped that tel
egraphic communication between
Fort St. Michael and Fort Gibbons,
420 miles distant, will have been es-
tablished. The constructing of these
lines, General Randall says, is attend
ed with many dicfiulties peculiar
to an Arctic climate.
Owing to the isolation of army posts
and to the lack of facilities for in
struction in drill and for convening
court-martial, General Randall says,
troops left to serve there for several
years must deteriorate in military eff.
cheney. He, therefore, recommends
that troops stationed in Alaska be
relieved every two years, and that
only men with more than two years
to serve be ordered there. In con.
clusion General Randall says: "The
location of department. headquarters
in Alaska for the past year is be-
lieved to have had pronounced ben.
efcial effect toward the protection
of person and peoperty and the estab
lishment of good order in the terri
tory. This has been accomplished
without friction with the civil au
thorities, and in harmony, it is
thought, with the sentiment of al
law-abiding and self-respecting citi

INSPECTION is FAULTY.
Engineering Experts Report on Condition of
BROOKLYN Bridge.

New York, Oct. 8.-District attor-
ney Philbin has made public the re-
port of Edwin Duryea and Joseph
Mayer, the special engineering experts
appointed by him to look into the
condition of the Brooklyn bridge after
the breaking of several suspender rods
and suspender bands July "a last.
These experts were appointed to
make this report with a view to pre-
senting the matter to the grand jury,
if it should be found that the bridge
department. had been negligent. The
experts found that the inspection of
the structure, as maintained by the
bridge department is faulty, but that
the bridge is now practically as strong
as when completed. One trouble is
that the moving loads which cross
the bridge have increased so rapidly
that the structure must be strength
ened. The accident of July "a is
found to have been due to the wind
pressure blowing against the plat
form cars, causing pressure trans
verse to the bridge, thus causing the
rods to bend. Had careful inspection
been maintained, the bending and
breaking would have been prevented
The experts maintain that the in
spection of the brigde should be done
by engineers, and not by mechanics,
as at present. They find that the
safety of the bridge can be increased
by remedying the certain defects in
the design. They hasten to say, how
ever, that they do not criticise' the
designer, and call attention to the
fact that since his structure was de.
signed, great advancement has beer
made in such work.
