MIR. WILLIS DISAPPEARS.
Left st. Elizabeth's Last Tuesday and
Has Not Returned.

The authorities at St Elizabeth's Hos
pital for the Insane are somewhat per-
picked over the disappearance of E. P.
Willis attendant, who left the hospital
Tuesday and has not yet returned. His
disappearance has not yet been reported to
the police, although the latter will be asked
to assist in a search for him should he fail
to return in the near future. Friends of
the missing man say he drew a large
amount of money from bank recently, and
that he had the money on him when he
left the hospital Tuesday to enjoy a half
holiday. Mr. Willis Is about twenty three
years old and has been employed at the
asylum for more than two years. He was
man of steady habits who had many
friends. and some of them have an Idea ne
met with foul play. Others think he was
taken sick and may be in some institution
under treatment. Several people have dis
appeared from the asylum during recent
years, and the suggestion is made that
there was a disappearing club formed at
the asylum several years ago.

SECRETARY ROOT APPROVES.
Preliminary Plans for the Improve
ment Of the Military Academy.

Z
ment Of the Military Academy.
Secretary Root has approved the prelin-
mary plans prepared by the board OF otii-
GERS at West Point for the improvements
Of the Military Academy. These plans have
been submitted by Colonel Mills to the SUI
pervising architect Of the Treasury for sug-
gestions and amendment. The action Of
Secretary Root today, however. settles the
general plan for the new buildings, and
these will soon be placed in the hands Of
the architects for the purpose OF working
out the details.
THE appropriation made by Congress at
it's last session." says Col. Mills, superin-
tendent of the Military Academy, in his an
nual report. ENSURES for the Military
Academy an adequate plant for continuing
It's work. 1t is a matter of regret that
Congress should have seen fit to reduce by
over one-SiXth the amount estimated as re-
Quired to properly rebuild the institution.
The sum asked for was arrived at only af
ter the whole subject had been carefully
considered by competent judges ana the es-
Inmates submitted were close as it was
practicable to make them. The reduced ap-
propriaton has made necessary a revision
of the whole project. The work of now de-
termining lust what buildings and other
necessary improvements can be secured is
being prosecuted by a board of officers.
The report of this board will be the basis
upon which will be prepared the complete
plans to be approved by the Secretary of
War before building operations are COM
menced. The personal care the Secretary
of War is giving the matter of the selec-
ton of the architect insures plans which
will preserve all of the old that is worthy
and make it. with the new. an architectural
whole BETTING the history of the institu-
ton and conforming to its superb natural
location. 1t is hardly to be expected that
actual building operations can be begun be-
fore the coming summer"

PHILADELPHIA. October 16.--Greater
activity was shown at the Offices Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company today than at any time since the
anthracite coal strike began more than

Reading company owns $1,000 coal cars.
One-half OF this number has been in use in
the bituminous trade. while the remainder
are lying idle on the Readings lew belt
line in this city. All of these cars will be
hurried to the mining region with the
utmost dispatch. When the strike ;.egau
nearly 5000 car handlers were laid off, ana
these will be re-engaged as rapidly as pos
sible.
The company also has thirty barges lying
at Its wharves in Port Richmond this city.
with a capacity OF $50 tons each. which
are ready for immediate use. Tn-i. tugs.
which have been in use in the soft coal
trade are being hurried back to thu city.

WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
Governor Stone Will Act Quickly
After Strike is Off.

HARRISBURG. Pa, October 16.-Gov.
Stone will probably withdraw the troops IN
the mining regions as soon as the strike Is
officially declared off by President Mitchell
and the miners indicate their willingness
to go to work. The governor left Harris
burg early today and will not return here
before night. Adjt. Gen. Stewart is the
only official of the National Guard on duty
at headquarters. and he declines to discuss
the strike situation or the probable time
or manner in which the troops will be
withdrawn.
The cost to the state Of keeping it's en-
tire military force on duty in the mining
regions is enormous, and the governor Is
very anxious for a speedy settlement of
the strike so that the troops may be with
drawn. The prospects are that If he should
decide to withdraw them by regiments In
stead of in a body. those regiments which
have been longest in the field will b. order
ed home in advance of the LIST and I'd Bril-
gades. which have been on duty a little
more than week.

RESTAURANT TRUST NEXT.
Chicago to Take the Lead in Latest
Combine.

CHICAGO. October 16.-Chicago Is to have
a restaurant trust, capitalized at 5000 co.,

ried out, says the Tribune All the large
restaurants of the city. 1t Is contemplated
are to be drawn under one central manage
ment, the head of each establishment. how
ever, to retain the direction of his own
place.
A large grocery house. bakeries, a central
meat market and storage warehouses, from
which all the cafes will draw their supplies
at wholesale prices, is one feature of the
combination scheme. In this way, it Is
held, saving of from 5 to 20 per cent can
be made direct on the 81 100000 that seven
of the leading restaurants of the city ex-
pend annually for supplies.
