NAMES TO BE CABLED.
Death Lists Not to Be Sent by Mail
Hereafter From Manila,

In accordance with specific instructions
received last night from AdJutant General
Corbin at Oyster Bay. Acting Adjutant
General Carter has cabled Gen. ChafSee
commanding the forces In the Philippines,
that the President direct that hereafter the
names Of all enlisted men who die In the
service shall be cabled to the War Depart
ment at Washington on the 1st and 18th of
each month. Since the disbandment Of the
volunteer army the ordinary casualties In
the army in the Philippines have been for
warded to Washington by mail, except In
the case Of officers. when the Information
has been sent by cable, according to the
cipher code. AS the code does not apply to
the enlisted force, 1t will cost the govern
ment about $50 to cable news Of the death
Of each enlisted man who succumbs to the
rigors of the campaign.
The system Is changed by the personal
direction of the President as a result of a
conference on the subject with Adjutant
General Corbin, who went to Oyster Bay
yesterday to say farewell to the President
prior to his departure today for GERMANY.
Jacob A. Riis, a visitor to the President
at Oyster Bay, brought up the subject and
made the point that the relatives of en-
listed men are kept in ignorance of their
fate for eight or ten weeks, while the FAM
lilies of officers are informed at once The
President was greatly interested, and or
dered General Corbin to instruct General
Chaffee, at Manila, to cable his full cas-
uaity list twice month

tempt to assassinate the kaiser and car
together at Reval recently.
While the two monarchs were dining to-
gether on the kaiser's yacht, the Hohen-
zollern. q launch bearing five men came
alongside. She looked exactly like Rus
sian man-of-war's launch. One of the men
wore the uniform of Russian officer, while
the other four wore the uniforms of Rus
sian seamen.
In reality they were Russian nihllists
bent on assassination.
The man IN the officers uniform boarded
the Hohenzollern and informed the officer
Of the watch that he belonged to the cars

sages for the czar's immediate perusai.
he asked to be taken to the car without
delay.
As the officer of the watch started to
show him below. the captain Of the Stan
dart appeared on deck. He heard that one
of his officers desired to see him. and con-
fronted the disguised nihilist, who drew q
pistol and tried to cover his retreat to the
launch but after fight was disarmed and
arrested.
The four accomplices in the launch
steamed away during the confusion and
evaded the patrol boats although they
secured the sea all night
The rin8ieader confessed his Intention
was to kill the two emperors at one time.

MORGAN MUST NOT INTERFERE.
Presidents Of Coal Roads May Resign
if He Does.

The New York Herald Of today says:
Positive statements were made yesterday
denying the story sent out from the coal re-
gions that Mr.. Morgan could be looked to
on his return to take up the coal strike and
effect a settlement. On this point the coal
road presidents are particularly emphatic.
Intimate friends Of the coal presidents,
some Of whom are directors in the proper
ties involved, have been informed that, so
strongly do the anthracite officials feel en-
the subject Of interference from political or
financial sources. they are prepared to re-
sign their positions in case they are forced
to adopt such policy. Presidents now feel
that the victory Is all but won, and they
would not brook any interference at this
time. Both the railroad presidents and d.
rectors Of the coal roads point out that 1t
would be suicidal for them to give in after
having waged such an expensive battle.
1T Is time to point out again. said a
coal road president. yesterday, that in the
matter OF this strike the railroad presidents
have the full confidence Of the boards Of d.
rectors and the dominating interests in our
properties. Mr.. Morgan was given to un-
derstand before he went away that an is
sue had to be taken sooner or later, and
when the crucial time came 1t was with his
full approval that the coal road presidents
took the stand they did. We are not going
to submit to dictation or deviate one whit
from our course. and we purpose to win.
Thomas P. Fowler, president Of the New
York. Ontario and Western, received from
one Of his superintendents at the mines yes
terday document showing the everage
wages Of the workmen in one Of the inie-
pendent coal mines. refuting President
Mitchelfs statement that the miners are
poorly paid and that their families have re-
peatedly suffered in consequence
Assurances were given yesterday by off,
cials Of the anthracite coal roads that ag-
gressive steps are being taken wherever
possible to begin cutting coal in the mines
This policy is the main point Of considcra-
tion among the coal road officials.
1t is officially stated that the reason more
mines are not opened UP Is a belief that in
the number Of men who apply for work are
some Of the hotheaded strike enthusiasts
seeking an opportunity to damage the prop
critics.

had been instantaneous. In falling Mr.
Gilmore's head struck against a steam ra-
diator, and the skull was fractured.
Mr.. Gilmore was one OF the best known

profitable insurance business. The only
reason that can be assigned for his act is
ill-heaith. Last week he had consulted
medical experts, one of whom told him he
was victim of Bright's disease In it's worst
form, and that 1t would ultimately lead to
the loss of the use Of his limbs and cause
insanity.
He was apparently in as good spirits as
at any time for weeks when his son Bert
met him at the bath room door an hour be-
fore the shooting. Bert complained of not
feeling well.
'rm sorry for you, my boy" the father
remarked. and then he walked back to his
room.
