MIR. BOWEN BEREAvED.
Minister to Venezuela Called Il
Brooklyn to Attend Funeral
of His Mother.

Washington, March 2.-The United
States minister to Venezuela and Mrs.
Herbert w. Bowen left Washington at
12:45 Sunday afternoon over the Penn
sylvania railroad for Brooklyn to at
tend the funeral services of Mr..
Bowen's mother, Mrs. Ellen Holt
Bowen, which will take place in Brook
lyn to-day. The sad news was a severe
shock to the minister and reached him
late Saturday night in dispatch from
his brother. Pressure of work here in
connection with the Venezuelan nego-
tiations had prevented the minister
from leaving Washington since his ar
rival here in January. He had, how
ever, planned visit to his mother upon
the completion of his mission, before
sailing from New York for Caracas
about the middle of March, when his
leave of absence will expire. For sew
eral days past Mr.. Bowen has been
confined to his room with a fever. He
will return to Washington in time to
sign the Belgian protocol with Baron
Moncheur on March 5.

the engineers and conductors refused
to participate in a strike, but the
firemen and trainmen favored it en-
phatically. Their committees on
Monday notified President Ramsey
that he would be given until noon
Tuesday to grant their demands. If
by that time he still refused, strike
would be Immediately called.

ernoon requested a little more time
and the two committees granted him
until O'Clock to make final reply

straining order from the court and
it had been served on all the officials

ARMS FOR MlLITIAMEN.

the Distribution of 10000 Krag-
JOrgensen Rifles.

JOrgenscn Rifles.
Washington, March 4.-Gen. Cro-
sier, chief of ordnance, has made pre-
liminary arrangements for arming
the entire organized militia of the
United States with the Krag-Jorgen-
sen musket of the regular service, in
accordance with the provisions of the
new militia law. He already has
collected about 10000 of these arms
at the government arsenals at Angus
ia, Ga; Benecia, CAL; Rock Island,
ILL.,, and San Antonio, Tex, and more
will be shipped to those points from
the armory at Springfield, Mass, as
needed. Nearly $4,000 Krag-Jorgen-
sens have been sent to the arsenal at
Rock Island, larger number than
was sent to any other point, Rock
Island being the central distributing
point for almost the entire middle
west. These arms will replace the
Springfield muskets which are to be
returned to the government.
According to the latest returns re-
ceived by Adit. Gen. Corbin the or
ganized strength of the militia ia
115,749, but the impression prevails
at the war department that the 6O,000
Krag-Jorgensens already collected at
the arsenals named will be sufficient
to meet all demands for several
months to come.

EARrHQUAKE AT SEA
The Bllida Lifted as on y Mountain and Then
Dropped.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mobile, Ala Oct 15.-The Norwegian
steamer Ellida, Captain Peterson, which
has arrived in Mobile. caught in an
Earthquake at 1855 a. M, September
20, fourteen miles off the Cuban shore,
and the shock was so severe that it threw
the men from their berths and knocked
all quite violently about. Captain Peter
sen says the Ellida was enroute to Sar-
tiago from Venezuela, with cattle. The
engines were running full speed and
everything was all right The water there
is from 1000 to 1.4OO fathoms deep. There
were no other vessels in sight. Suddenly
with no warnings whatever the Elhda
seemed to have run aground. She quiv-
cred, creaked, her propeller was out OF
water, and it seemed as though the
steamer was constantly rising on the cres.
of hidden reef. Then. in the twinkling
of an eye, she seemed to absolutely drop
into the very chasm Of the deep.
After the second shock, however. the
experiences ceased. The next day the
Ellida arrived at Santiago, and it was
learned that the earthquake at sea &C.
Cured not more than Ave minutes after
the shock on shore.
