COAL FOR THE NAVY.
Total Amount Purchased Last
Was 382,O4O Tons.
Annual Report of Adm. Bradford, Chief
of the Bureau Of Equipment
and Repairs of the Navy
Department.

Washington, Nov. 10.-In his annual
report. made public Sunday, Adm.
Bradford. chief of the bureau of equip
ment and repair of the navy depart
ment, takes occasion to renew his pro-
test against the action of the depart
ment in substituting a naval con-
structor for a line officer at ship
building works. A naval constructor,
he says, is a nOn-seagoing officer. In
quiries as to the custom of the mer-
chant marine in this matter, the report
says. shows that the construction Of
merchant ships generally is supervised
by the most experienced master
mariner and chief engineer in the en-
ploy of the owners. 1t is an anomaly
to build a ship and prepare her for
sea under the supervision of lands
man.
The report does not touch on the
question of additional coaling stations
or of wireless telegraphy.
The total amount of coal purchased
during the year was 3S2,O4O tons at an
average cost of $5S1 per ton, against
$7.O1 last year. This is the lowest
price paid for coal since 1898, when
the average was $4.63. The amount
used was IS per cent. larger than the
preceding year. The amount used for
storing purposes has increased more
than five times during the past ten
years. The report notes the gratifying
fact that foreign coal purchased de-
creased 10 per cent. while the amount
of domestic coal used increased "a per
cent. Special attention is called to the
fact that 48 per cent. of the entire
coal consumption was for auxiliary
purposes.
Exhaustive-te tests were made during
the early part of the year by the tor
pedO fiotilla at Norfolk of various
kinds of Virginia coal to determine
the best adapted for the use of tor
pedo boats. The result showed little
difference when the coal was carefully
selected

AFTER THE LADRoNEs.
Vigorous Methods to Suppress Them
to Be Adopted.

Manila, Nov. 10.-The government is
adopting vigorous measures to sup
press Ladronism in the provinces of
Cavite, Rial and Bulacan. A zone
embracing these provinces, and sur
rounding Manila, is the scene of con-
slant petty and, sometimes, serious
disorder. Several armed bands, some
of them numbering two or three hun
dred men, are operating in the de-
sCribed districts and have committed
various depredations. They find a safe
refuge in the mountains. The plan of
the government contemplates secur-
ing the assistance of the military,
which has been inactive since the end
of the instruction. The extent Of the
army's participation in the work Of
suppression depends upon develop
ments. 1t is probable that the mill
tary authorities will request the garri-
sons to protect the more important
towns, while the cOnstabulary conduct
the field operations. 1t is thought that
martial law, in a modified form, will
be declared and the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus suspended in
Cavite province, which has been the
home of the Ladrones for ages. =
Military control Of Cavite province
is not contemplated. 1t is intended
that the military and civil authorities
shall work in conjunction. The belief
is held that advantage has been ia
ken in some parts of the island of
the complete inactivity of the
soldiers. and it is thought that the use
of the army by the civil authorities
will have a beneficial effect.
The vigorous campaign against the
Ladrones. which has been conducted
by volunteers in Bulacan province, has
resulted in driving many refugee ban
dts into Rial, where the campaign is
now opening.
Gen. Davis is cooperating with Gov.
Taft. He has strengthened the garri-
sons in Rial and is supporting and as
sisting the native constabulary which
is now afeld. The operations in Ca
vite province will commence shortly.

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-The Kos
mos line steamship Luxor, from Ham
burg, reports an unusual experience at
San Benito, the lowermost port of Mex

October %. when the decks of the
Luxor were a foot in powdered pum-
ice stone. Mt. QuemadO, from which
the ashes came, is about 20 miles from

A dying patient RECEIVERS through the IN
terposition of a humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., very reput-
able and widely-known physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend a very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found man about
forty years of age, lying in a Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole. frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening be was found to be In
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly IN
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping Almost Immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of ST. Jacobs OIL The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much after
few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

THE MURDER MYSTERY
Tolls Tightening Around Slayer
Of Two Girls.
Mason's Attorney Places No Faith in
the Statement and Will Attempt to
Show That the Negro is the
Guilty One.

Boston. Nov. 8.-Miss Clara A. Nor
ton was murdered at Waverly last
Saturday. A few days later Alan q.
Mason, rich merchant and prominent
club man of this city was arrested on
suspicion. The girls watch was sold
to a jeweler on Monday by colored
man. A few days later the colored
man was arrested and said that Mason
gave him the watch to dispose OF Tor
him.
Boston. Nov. 10.-George l.. o. Per-
ry. the Negro who pawned the watches
taken from the murdered women, Miss
Clara A. Morton and Miss Agnes Nc
Phee. declared Sunday that Alan q.
Mason. the rich merchant Of Boston,
is the man from whom he received
these articles. Perry was taken to the
iaiI in East Cambridge, where Mason
under arrest on the charge of killing
Miss. Morton, is confined pending
hearing in the Cambridge court Mon
day. In one of the Jail corridors Perry
positively identified Mason as the man
who had given him the two watches.
Mason, by neither look nor word, be-
trayed any knowledge of having seen
Perry before When questioned by
Sheriff Fairhairn, Mason merely said:
81 do not know this man; l never
saw before"
During the day Chief Ryan and OFF,
Ger Argy. of Belmont. talked with Per-
ry, and later State officers New, Dun
ham, Dexter and others took Perry to
the jail. The callers were shown into
the room where Mason and six others
were in line. Perry walked straight
up to Mason, who was second in posi-
tion, and, pointing his finger at him,
said:
This is the man who gave me the
watches to pawn"
He was about to leave the room when
Sheriff Fairhairn asked him if he
would not like to talk with Mason in
order that he might make himself sure
that Mason was the man. Perry re-
piled there was no need of that, as he
knew who the man was and had known
him for a long time.
On being returned to his cell in tho
police station Perry was confronted by
three newsboys and they identified him
as another newsboy.
Another visitor at the police station
was Mason's attorney. He was &C
cOmpanied by woman. This woman
did not see Perry, but it was under
stood that she had been produced by
the defense in the hope of showing that
Perry himself or some other Negro
was the real Jack the Slugger." She
is one of the women who were follow
ed by a Negro in Cambridge several
weeks ago. Mr.. Ware places no faith
4n the statement Of Perry that it was
Mason that gave the boy the watches.
By arrangements made Sunday night
Perry will be arraigned Monday at
Cambridge on the charge of being &C.
cessory after the fact. The police say
that Perry had been confined at the
Lyman school for boys, having been
convicted for assault and battery upon
a young woman in this city.
Also it has come to light that on
Sunday, July q, Perry, who was then
employed as the driver of a mail
wagon from Cambridge to Boston.
was missing from his work. 1t was
on this date that. an assault upon Miss
Ellen Murphy occurred.
