An Eventful Sunday.
The last day in Washington was rath-
Ut eventful, for all that 1t was Sunday.
In the forenoon Ambassador Cambon.
Madame Cambon, other members of the
embassy staff, and all the members OF
the mission attended mass at ST. Pat
rick's Church, where Cardinal Gibbons
preached the brief sermon.
In the afternoon the officers spent
their time in various ways. General
Drugere Vice Admiral Fournier. and
several others took a long horseback
ride with President Roosevelt, and were
drenched by the heavy rain
storm. The Count and Countess Ro-
chambeau were driven with Captain
Lewis, OF the Second Cavalry, TO Ar
lington. They were much impressed
with the great military burial ground. |

windows. were bedraggled and muddy.
Patent leather boots were streaked with
yellow clay. and steam rose in clouds
from what had been formerly the glossy
eAIanse Of the beautiful horses flanks.
No one seemed to mind il. The French
officers said they enjoyed the expert
ence, although they were surprised at
the enthusiasm of the President. They
appreciated the .oke when they were
told that the President had taken
Prince Henry out for ride one rainy
afternoon. had raced along country
roads. had plunged into temporarily
large streams. and galloped along mar
row bride paths. but without in the
least disconcerting the German prince.
Miss Roosevelt Undaunted.
Miss Alice Roosevelt did not seem to
mind the jaunt She kept her seat like
the true horsewoman she is, exciting at
every turn the admiration OF the gal
liant French officers. Teddy, jr.. now
fully recovered from the illness he SUI
fered at Groton. stayed well TO the fore
during the entire ride.
While the gallop was not as long
as the one the President led Prince
Henry, 1t was just as rough. and for
part of the ride the same ground was
covered. The President ever led the
way.
Just before the party left the White
House. where they assembled late in
the afternoon. the group was photo
graphed. They then went out Seven
teenth Street to the end of the pavement
and struck off at a gallop-the President
makes 1t point never to go faster than
a walk on the asphalt. The pace cut
out by the strenuous Chief Executive
was brisk.
Spectators Attracted.
The jangling of the accouterments
aroused the suburban residents as the
party clattered along the roads. By a
wide detour the President entered the
Geological Park, and The visitors had
an opportunity to see the buffalo in
the reservation. After a further ride
In this region a turn was made for

CONSTRUCTION RETARDED.
Work on New War Vessels Far
Behind Contract lime.

WASHINGTON, oct. l3.-'Progrcss
upon new vessels under construction
during the past year has not been sat
isiactory,' says Rear Admiral Bowlcs,
chief Of the naval bureau of construc-.
ton, in his annual report to the sccre-
tary Of the navy. All the larger YES
sells he says. have been delayed by
Uoudcliyrry Of structural steel, while
the vessels building at San Francisco
were set back by the ten months
strike, and the hold out of the work
men at Seattle prevented any actual
progress on the structure of the hull Of
the battlcShir Nebraska building there.
The delay in the deliveries Of armor
fer the bHttlcships Maine, Missouri
and Ohio and the monitors Arkansas,
Florida, Ncyadn and Wyoming has re-
talded the completion of these vessels
conculTcntly with other causes. The
inability Of shipbuildcrs to obtain
sufficient force OF skilled workers also
has been III many eases an important
fa't Tor i'll the slow progress of the yes
sells
A tHbIe is submitted showing in con.
els" form how the work on vessels un-
der construction has fallen behind. For
instance, the battlesliip Ohio is shown
to have been tWcnty-nine months be-
hind her contract ON the LIST Of July.
This is not an isolated case. The bat
tIpShip Missouri is over twenty months
behind, the ma jolity of the battleShps
au0 cruisers are over ten months be-
hind, and some Of the torpedo craft are
moro than forty months behind the
date Of completion stipulated in their
contracts.
Admiral BOwlcs says there continues
to be an urgent necessity for an in
crease in the number Of officers Of the
construction corps. The principal navy
yards. it is stated, have an insufficient
number Of officers for the performance
of regular duties. This lack of officers
is particularly hurtful just now in view
Of the construction of the battlcShip
Connecticut at the New York navy
yard. Rear Admiral Bowles renews his
recommendation for an increase Of his
CC"Us from forty to sixty members.

ST. ANDREWS BROTHERHOOD.

ployment Of four district secretaries
and secretary for the junior DEPART

advance now reach $4,000.
This morning Trinity Church,
this afternoon SYMPHONY Hall and

were counted as oxen, and urged
that they keep up their content ton.
Ernest H. eros by. of New York,
com batted the notion that there was

Dean Hodges, of Cambridge, de-
clared that Tammany misrule In
New York cost 10000 lives through
unnecessary increase in death rate.
These people would not be more
dead had they been lined up on
Broadway and shot. The action Of
the coal oper a,ors means the death
of at least 1000 men, women, and
children ia Boston before Christmas

Bulgarian Ynsurrection Growing.

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Oct. 13.-General

the town Of Jumaya, European Tur-
key, where they captured three Turk

FAIR LUNA WILL HIDE
FACE THURSDAY NIGHT

A total eclipse of the moon will
be visible in Wilmington next Thurs.
day night if the weather is favor.
able. North and South America
and the western portions of Europe
and Asia are the bounds within
which this phenomenon may be OBJ
served. The moon enters the
earth's shadow at lily p. m, and
the total eclipse begins nineteen
minutes after midnight. The mid
die of the eclipse is at 1.03 a M,
and the totalphase ends at |. 4S a m.
although the moon does not quite
emerge from the shadow until $50
a. m. In this lunar eclipse, occur
ing, az all such do, at full moon, or
when the sun is at point in the
heavens Numerically opposite, and
due to the moon plunging into the
great shadow cone of the earth, the
moon passes completely within the
conical shadow at point where it
is about one and one-half times the
apparent angular diameter of the
moon. This accounts for the leng-
tn of the totality of the eclipse of 1
hour and 80 minutes. Whether the
moon will disappear completely
from view or not during the total
phase will depend upon the gener-
al weather conditions III the portions
of the atmosphere about tho earth
through which the sun will attempt
to project its rays. 1t may happen,
as it usually does, that the unab-
sorbed red rays will be sti'! tont :n-
to the shadow and be cast on the
surface of the moon even during to-
tality. The moon then assumes a
peculiar copper color.
