HALF YEAR ON THE WATER
Standard OIL Company Boat Anchors
at Last with It's Crew Blind
and Diseased.

NEW YORK, Sept 2s.-The British four
masted bark Kenmore, owned by the
Standard Oil company Of this city, arrived
in port after a tedious voyage lasting 1913
days. The vessel sailed from Yokohama
December 19 last, via Hiogo March 15. The
vessel experienced light trade winds and
very moderate weather which, together
with the bottom being unusually foul and
covered with sea growth, caused a very
long passage.
DR.. Doty, the health oficer, says almost
all Of the crew are suffering from scurvy,
and several are in a pitiable condition.
Malnutrition is responsible for the Illness.
Several have suffered from moon blindness,
populary called moonbink. 1t is said on
board that the men were supplied with
very little besides salt meat. Vegetable
and other foods necessary to prevent the
scurvy were not to be had. The ship
stopped at St. Helena to land an injured
man, but no fresh meat and vegetables
were brought on the vessel at that port.

STOCKTON BADLY SCoRCHED
with but Little Insur-
ance,

STOCKTON Cal, Sept. 2s.-One Of the
largest fires in the history OF Stockton
started here shortly after o'clock this
evening in the Agricultural pavilion. That
structure, together with all its contents and
two residence blocks, were burned to the
ground with the exception of a few build
ings. The approximate loss is 100000, less
than half insured
The fire started through a plumber hunt
ing for leak in gas main in the pavilion
The contact OF the gas with lighted can
die caused an explosion, and in a few min
utes the building was in flames. Being
built Of wood, 1t burned rapidly and the
two or three people in the building had to
fee for their lives
with incredible velocity the flames leaped
across San Joaquin street to the east and
across Lafayette to the west. The Catholic
church on the north had a narrow escape.
A slight breeze carried the flames clear
through two blocks south OF the pavilion
and west Of San Joaquin street. The three
blocks to the east of San Joaquin suffered
greatly, and 1t was only through the hard
work of the fremen, assisted by the thick
shade trees, that the flames were prevented
from sweeping the channel.
During the early stages OF the fire the
heat was so intense that the 1remen had
great difficulty in getting near enough to
be effective, and two men who were at
tempting to lay hose on Lafayette street
nearly lost their lives. They were Tom
Walsh driver Of a hose wagon, and Ed
Knowles, an assistant.
Henry Chase, fireman, fell from build
ing and sustained internal injuries which
are not believed to be fatal Jack Law
renee fell from a building and was badly
bruised. Police Officer Dutschke and Parker
Wilson inhaled smoke, but recovered at
the receiving hospital. Frank Steinbecker
was thrown against a building by a hose
and his leg was badly injured.
The district fair had closed Saturday
night and all the exhibits were still in the
pavilion. The loss to the exhibitors was
very heavy.
The Union Iron Works had on exhibition
models Of the cruisers San Francisco and
Charleston. They we're destroyed. There
was $4,000 insurance on them. Many peo-
| pie have been left homeless and destitute.
! Fifty houses were burned.
! Linemen were put to work cutting wires
shortly after the fire started and the cleo
| trio light and telephone wires are in bad
| condition tonight.

STORMS IN SICILY KEEP UP
Estimates Place the Number Of
People Drowned mt Two
Hundred.

SYRACUSE, Sicily, Sept. 2s.-A fresh
storm burst over the district of Santa
Maria today and many houses were de-
stroyed, The stormy weather continues
generally throughout Sicily. 1t is now be-
lieved that 200 persons perished at Modica
during the tornado. In one instance a
family OF nine persons was drowned The
village OF Sortino has been practically de-
stroyed and forty-three persons were
drowned. The water rose in the church to
height OF twelve feet. Many children
lost their lives. There have been some
disgraceful scenes of pillsge from the ruius
and from the bodies. which shows the
necessity OF more troops to keep order.
The total damage as the result OF the tor
nado is expected to amount to over s2,-
500 900.
The storm OF today caused the overflow
OF torrents at Catsano which washed away
live stock. Communication is interrupted
and the damage is serious. Il is not known
whether any deaths resulted. At Messina

AUTOPSY ON CRAFTS BODY

NEW YORK, Sept, 2s.-An autopsy was
performed today on the decapitated body
Of James Craft, who was murdered early
Saturday morning in the Empire cafe in
Twenty street. The coroner's ply
sician who performed the autopsy refused
to say what II showed.
The point Of interest in this is whether
or not knockout drops had been given to
Mr.. Craft before he was attacked with the
cleaveT. II traces of chloral were found
in the stomach the police claim this would
show a plot TO rob the victim, Mrs. Graft,
wife OF the murdered man, said today that
Mr.. Craft had considerable sum OF money
with him when he left his home at Glen
Cove.

SOLDIERS HAVE DAY TO REST
ever. Bright and Early
Monday.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Sept 2s-Absolute
quiet, as far as the army maneuvers we're
concerned, prevailed at Camp Root today.
The troops were not called upon to perform
any work beyond that of the ordinary camp
routine, but at o'clock tomorrow morning
will open a strenuous week for all arms OF
the service.
The maneuver for Monday Is vaguely de-
scribed by General Bates as problem Of
contact OF opposing forces OF all arms
which includes a possibility Of anything be-
tween a base ball game and a general mass
acre. The exact nature OF the problem to
be solved is known only to the military UNI
pires and to General Bates, and will not be
divulsed until the troops have marched out
in the morning. The commanders will then
be informed of the nature of the task ahead
Of them. The Browns, however. will be in
the minority, as usual and the Blues will
have the preponderating force in the field.
This is by actual count Reinforced by
their Imagination the Browns will be an
equal strength.
The weather is now beautiful and the
roads, which last week were trails of mud,
are now dry and in good shape for march
ing. There are now but few men in the
hospital, nearly all of those whose illness
was due to rain soaked clothing and bed
ding having recovered.
The officers of the National guard are
coming in rapidly and by Tuesday morning,
when the Kansas militia will have arrived,
1t is estimated that fully 100 officers, be-
sides those Of the Kansas guard, will be
on the ground. So far there is but one
captain among the National guard officers,
the others being colonels or generals. The
hopelessly outranked captain comes from
New York City. while the colonels and
generals belong everywhere. from Calfor-
mia to Rhode Island and from Wisconsin
to Texas. General Funston arrived in
camp this afternoon, coming as the guest
of General Bates. He came in an unoffi-
cial capacity and will remain for a few
days to witness the maneuvers.

l. tie tonight says the Latin coun-
tries n America have several times
clearly their intention not to al

States. The great nations of Europe ought
to support them vigorously in this work Of
defense and self-preservation. 1t is the
especial duties of nations of the same blood
as theirs, says La Liberte. such as France,
Italy and Spain to stretch out a helping
hand.
lie Journal des Debats, on the other hand,
endorses the policy Of the United States
toward the republics Of South America.
This paper first remarks that the American
government does not need to repeat the
Monroe doctrine to Europe. The situation
itself sufices to recall to the latter that the
American continent cannot longer be a field
OF European political action. The paper
then says that the protest against the
landing OF American marines on the 18TH
mus made by General Salazar, commander
Of the Colombian forces on the isthmus, Is

upon It by the treaty Of 1S46 and IT will full
hll this duty more and more in the future
as the canal is completed. The good old
times Of civil war at Panama are a thing
Of the past"
The Journal then proceeds to warn the
Latin Americans that deep reforms are
necessary II they wish to remain free, and
concludes by saying: THE economic scandal

which cause II will certainly impose upon
Uncle Sam, injured and Indignant some
