STRUCK A RoCK.
The Army Transport Sherman Dam

THE ISLAND OF GUAM.
Annual Report of Commander seaton
Schroeder.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The annual
report of Commander Seaton Schroe-
der, governor of the Island of Guam,
which is dated July 16, and which has
just reached the navy department, ow-
ing to the failure of congress to ap-
propriate the sum asked for last year.
The receipts last year were in round
numbers $4,000 and the expenditures
$50, 900, leaving a balance of $4,000,
which, however, is a decrease of over
$4,000 in the cash balance for the
preceding year. This loss is due
largely to the unexpected expenses in
cident to the establishment Of the lep-
er colony and the decrease of over
$40 900 in import duties.
Commander Schroeder reports that
it has been deemed prudent to stop
all work of public improvement until
further appropriations are made. The
value of exports and imports during
the year have been respectively $685.
$40 and $35,165. The exports consist
ed almost entirely of Mexican dollars.
Not a pound of copper has been eX-
ported, and neither cocoa or coffee
has been produced in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the home market, owing
to the slow recOveries from the eff
fects of the hurricane of 1900.
The governor recommends that if a
Philippine silver dollar of fixed value
is to be coined under the laws of the
United States, that it be made legal
tender also in Guam in place of the
present Mexican dollar. The census
of the island taken last autumn shows
the total population to be 1876, of
whom only 46 are foreigners, IA being
citizens of the United States. The
latter does not include officers and
men of the navy or other civil en-
ployes, temporarily imported from the
United States. Above the age of Z,
46 per cent. Of the natives read and
write Spanish. He says that the ma
tives still continue to refuse to allow
their sick to receive medical atten-
ton, but that conditions are improv-
ing, an excess of births over deaths
being shown for each of the last two
years.
Commander Schroeder says that
there are now "a lepers in seclusion at
Tumon bay. The governor recon-
mends Improvements in facilities for
education and also that the laws for
the government of the islands should
be remodeled and modified. The GOV
ernor says there is a desire for United
States citizenship among persons dom
iciled in the island. He calls atten-
ton to the case of Pedro M. Duarte,
at present the auditor of the island.
He occupies an anomalous position.
He was an officer in the Spanish army
who resigned after the war and who
obtained an acceptance of renuncia-
ton of allegiance. The result is that
to-day he is a citizen of no country.

ALEX GRAHAM BELL.
Gives An Idea of Properly Construct
ed Flying Machine.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Dr. Alex
ander Graham Bell, who has just re
turned to Washington from his sum-
mer home in Cape Breton island, Fri
day night made the following state
ment in connection with reports that
have appeared in the public prints
that he has invented a flying ma
chine:
The newspapers have been prema-
ture in announcing that l have been
at work upon flying machine. 1 have
not any flying machine at all, and
have not been trying to make one.
/ am. of course, interested in the
problem, and have come to the con.
clusion that properly constructed
flying machine should be capable of
being flown as a kite, if anchored to
the ground, and that conversely a
properly constructed kite should be
capable of use as flying machine
provided with suitable means of
propulsion.
"My experiments have had as theiI
object the building of kite OF solid
construction capable Of carrying up
in a moderate breeze a weight equiv
alent to that of man and engine
and so found that it could be suitable
for use as the body of a flying ma
chine and with supporting surfaces
so arranged that when the kite is
cut loose it will come down gently
and steadily and land uninjured.

tors in a housefurnishing store some weeks
ago. After examining into the merits and
qualities of a number of them, she pur-
chased the one that the salesman assured
her would keep food the best Some days
afterward the woman called and requested
them to take that refrigerator back, as it
would not keep anything better than the
kitchen safe of the cellar. The salesman
mildly suggested that possibly she had not
put enough ice in it to keep the things cold.

WARMLY WELCOMED.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
at Durham, Natal.
A Frank Speech Delivered BY Him In
tended to AIIay the Fears and
Gain the Confidence of
the Burghers.

Durham, Natal, Dec. 27.-Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain and Mrs
Chamberlain, who left Portsmouth,
Eng, November %, on board the ar
mored cruiser Goodhope, landed here
at 1880 Friday morning. They re-
ceived a warm welcome from crowds
of people.
The long speeches made by Mr..
Chamberlain in the course of the re-
ception functions were notable for
their strong tone of Cancellation and
his expression of confidence in Lord
Miner, British high commissioner in
South Africa Bearing in mind seem
ingly the rumors that his visit would
lead to the displacement Of Lord Mil
ner, Mr. Chamberlain declared his be-
lief that his visit would have the eff
feet of Strengthening the hand Of Lord
Miner, who, he hoped, would be as
great in Cancellation as he had been
in the maintenance of the rights of the
empire.
Referring to the war, the Colonial
secretary said the Dutch and the Brit
ish had fought in courageous rivalry.
Between the two races not kindred in
origin or nature, such a struggle for
supremacy had been inevitable. From
that struggle two proud and kindred
races would grow in mutual respect,
appreciation and lasting friendship.
Victor and vanquished," said Mr..
Chamberlain, "bravely played their
parts. We scorn to glory in our tri-
umph; the enemy need fear no hui
mutations in their defeat. Let us see,
as BritOns worthy of the NAME that
nothing be done to revive the ami
mosities of the past. We must give
our new fellows equality of position
with ourselves. We ask, however,
something in return; it is with them
that the issues lies. We hold out our
hand and ask them to take it without
thought of the past, but frankly and
in the spirit in which it is offered"
Mr.. Chamberlain elaborated his
theme with eloquence and was loudly
encored. He announced incidentally
the acceptance of the Boer offer to
fight in Somaliland.

A TERRIBLE wreck.
Twenty-Eight Killed and Many
Hurt on d Canadian Road.
The Operator Who Failed to Deliver
the Order to the Conductor Says
1t Was Cancelled by the
Dispatcher.

London, Ont, Dec 29.-There were
no deaths Sunday among the persons
injured in Friday nights collision at
Wanstead, on the Sarnia branch of the
Grand Trunk railroad between Pacific
express No. 8, west-bound, and an
east-bound freight in which % per-
sons lost their lives. AT Victoria hos
pital several of the injured are still in
a serious condition but it is expected
that all will recover. The body OF
Fireman Ricketts,, of the express
train, which was Saturday night be-
lieved to be buried under the wrecked
engines, was found Sunday covered
with snow in the ditch beside the
track. One arm was completely torn
off and the body was otherwise man
gled. Death must have been instan-
taneous.
Andrew Carson, the operator at Wat
ford, the first station east of the
wreck, whose failure to deliver orders
to Conductor McAuliffe, of the Pacific
express, to pass the freight at Wan
stead, is said by the Grand Trunk Of
ficials to have caused the wreck. Sun

One of the most pathetic features OF
the wreck is the triple loss sustained
by the Bodley family, of Port Huron
in the death of Mrs. ]. Bodley, son
Glenn Bodley and granddaughter, little

hospital. The bodies of 10 o. the vic
Tins have been shipped to their sOr
