SHAW AT DETROIT.
Secretary of the Treasury Speaks tn
Audience of Thousands.

Detroit. Mich. oct. 1S.-Secretary OF
the Treasury L. NJ. Shaw spoke to-
night at Light Guard Armory, address
ing an audience of $500 people, includ-
ing several hundred ladies seated in
the gallery. He discussed the necessi-
ty of obtaining foreign markets for
surplus products. and the development
of the American carrying trade. He
said:
"A ship-subsidy bill has passed the
Senate. l am not speaking In its favor.
but after all that has been said against
ii. 1t is due those who have labored in
its interest to say that the drain upon
the treasury would be infintesimal. 1t
costs our people 5000, 900, 900 a year to
carry their trans-oceanic freight, and
under the bill as it passed the Senate,
not to exceed $1,000. 900 can in anywise
be paid out until more ships are built.
and whenever a ship is constructed. 95
per cent. of its cost goes TO labor, and
l have never yet raised my voice
against expanding the public revenues
which come from the rich and we'll
to-do, in such ways as throws 95 per
cent. of it to labor. So. without dis
oussing the merits of the bill now pend
ing, l want to urge the Importance of
bill constructed upon very different
lines. one that shall insure regular
steamship communication to South
American countries. South African
countries and the islands adjoining. 1t
is idle to suppose that steamship lines
win be established to those ports with
out government aid. There is little
! freight now to carry and no induce
ment. and steamship line
would perish before sufficient
trade could be built up to
make IL profitable. It took
long years to establish such commerce
to make our Pacific lines OF profit. 1t
will take perhaps longer still to make
steamship lines to the southwark prof
table, and in many opinions, any ship
subsidy bill that will meet the APP
prevail of both houses of Congress will
contain special provisions for these new
lines and at rates in excess of what
is necessary to induce competition with
European lines in transatlantic COM
merce. The marvel to me is that the
cotton-producing states are not a unit
in favor of every means that shall en-
! large the markets for their surplus, To
my mind there is no public question
OF so great Importance as foreign mar
kets for our manufactured products"

AT CRITICAL POINT.
Naval Board of Construction Wrest-
ling With Grave Problems.


Washington, Oct. 1S.-The board of
construction of the Navy Department
mas reached what may be regarded as
a critical point in the development of
the American navy. For many days
past the board has been struggling
with the grave problem presented by
the necessity of so designing the arm
ored cruisers authorized by the last
Congress, as to combine the greatest
offensive and defensive qualities with
the highest speed. The ordnance de-
partment wished to clad the vessels in
the heaviest armor, and place
on them the biggest guns, while the
engineers wished to give a high speed.
These differences of opinion have be-
come much more pronounced than ever
before, and there have been some very
lively scenes in the board meetings re-
Gently. Gradually the issues have been
sifted down and adjusted tentatively
save the very important one of weight
to be allowed for motive power, which
means speed.
Engineer-in-Chief Melville insists
that the new cruisers should not take
the wash of anything a1oat He de-
manded that they be able to overtake
If need be and escape from any battle
ship or cruiser of any other navy,
holding that the reserve speed. as in
the case of the Oregon at Santiago,
might often turn the course of battle.
1t is probable that Secretary Moody
VIII be called upon to decide the issue
as to whether speed shall be sacrificed
to power and size limitation.

ALBANY HAS A FIRE

Albany. N. Y, Oct. 1S.-The most
destructive fire that has visited AL
bany in number of years broke out
shortly before IL o'clock tonight in
the Tower & Brooks Company's Bos-
ton Store, one of the largest dry goods
stores in the heart of the business dis
trict. For a time the entire dry goods
section was threatened and only by
most heroic work on the part of the
firemen were the flames practically
confined to the building in which they
started.
There were many thrilling escapes
from death, and one fireman was killed
and a number injured. Thomas Ward,
a pipeman of engine company No. l,
slipped from the top of a ladder and
fell thirty feet. breaking his neck.
At the time the fire broke out
dance was in progress in a hall on the
top floor of the burning building. Es-
cape to the street was cut off by the
fast spreading flames, and twenty-five
young men and women were lifted out
of the front windows and helped over
adjoining roofs. The shrieks of hys-
terical women created much excite
ment, but cool-headed firemen and
spectators soon carried them to place
of safety. Several women were burn
ed, but none seriously hurt. The
structure was once the residence of
ex-Gov. William L. Marcy. and was
one of the historical spots in Albany.
1t was two hours before the flames
were pronounced under control. 1t Is
impossible to secure any of the losses
tonight.

POISONED WITH STRYCHNINE.
Young Widow Arrested on Charge
of Numbering Brother-in-Law.


of Numbering Brother-in-Law.
Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. 1s.-Mrs. Will
liam A. Kiehl, seventeen years old, of
South Onondaga. was arrested to-day
on the charge of killing her brother-in-
law, Adam Kiehl, with strychnine. Her
husband died suddenly in February.
1t is said that she was infatuated
with Adam, and the night following her
husbands death, asked him TO marry
her but her affection was not recipro-
Gated. On Sept. 10, after a days work
on a farm at Preble, Adam Kiehl went
to bed apparently well, and was
found dead in the morning. Pneumonia
was given as the cause.
The sudden death Of the two brothers
was regarded as suspicious, and an in
vestigation was made by the coroner.
The body of Adam Kiehl was exhumed
and the stomach and other organs sent
to the chemistry department at Cor
nell University Prof. e. M. Chamott
reported that he found strychnine in
the viscera. It is believed by the coro-
ner that the poison was put in tea
which Kiehl drank. When Mrs. Kiehl
was taken to Jail she broke down and
cried, declaring her innocence
