INDUSTRIOUS ELEPHANT
is A DERELICT
lingo Dies at Sea and Is Dropped
Overheard on the Atlantic.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Jingo, the
tallest of captive elephants, is dere-
nct adr1ft In the steamship track off
Vail banks. He died on the freighter
Georgia, in today from Liverpool He
was not buried at sea, but was simply
dropped overheard. Late perhaps he
may be sighted as a dead whale or an
unchartered island, perhaps a sailing
craft may come to grief upon his
tough tonnage, and the skipper, If he
survives, may have a chance to enter
in his log, wrecked by Jingo."
lingo was not so heavy as Jumbo,
who, according to Barnum. weighed
seven tons, and was Il IL feet tall.
Jumbo was rotund, but lingo was in
clined to lankiness, running largely to
legs. The owners press agent said
lingo cost 100000, but according to
others he refused to tell what he paid
the London zoo.
According to officers Of the Georgia
and Keeper Lawrence, who was with
the elephant long time, lingo be-
came melancholy after being boxed up
and put aboard the Georgia. The box
was open on top, and Second Officer
HorroX said the box measured inside
IA IL feet high, and that Jingo's back
was even with the top. The first day
out lingo showed symptoms of sea-
sickness The box was in the after
hold. and the top protruded above an
open hatch, so that sea crests and
spindrift that swept across the liner
washed his expansive freeboard thor
oughly. He was not to be tempted to
eat anything, even rejecting peanuts.
All that he swung into his system for
six days were a few wisps of hay and
one loaf of whisky soaked bread. Keep
er Lawrence said he was dying of grief,
but the skipper said seasickness and
restraint.
Second Officer HORROR said: II think
lingo died of grief or, you might say,
stand, about twenty-five years at the
London zoo. and when he missed all
the big and little friends his heart
broke. lingo didn't trumpet a note of
complaint; he just looked solemn and
refused to eat. He succumbed at 1890
in the afternoon of March II, falling
nearly on his knees. He was boxed
so tightly that he couldn't topple over.
After the keeper assured us the big fell
low had passed away all hands were
called to bury the dead.
1T took US all afternoon to get lingo
out of his box. Chains were passed I'M
der his body and attached to an after
derrick, the steam winch set going, and
the carcass was lifted, out and dropped
overheard into the sea at o'clock. It
f1oated, two or three feet being visible
above the waves. L think it will be a
long time before it sinks"
The owner said he had lingo insured
for $4,000 in an English company, and
that he had a presentiment that the
great beast might not be able to sur

In the name Of organized labor, as
well as every liberty-loving citizen, l

law abiding citizens and would not be

right to organize workingmen, and,
If necessary, in defense of their rights,
to strike for the enforcement of them,
If no other means Of redress is afford

This telegram was sent on receipt of
statements from the organizers men,
toned that the subjoined communica-
tons had been received by them:
Tampa, Fla, March 19.-James Wood

ROYAL ARcANUM DOESN'T
HAVE TO PAY THIS CLAIM
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
Decides a Point of Importance,

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. March 19.-In the
United States circuit court Of appeals
an opinion was handed down today in
the case of the supreme council Royal
Arcanum versus Anna J. Taylor, which
is remanded with instructions that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover.
Anna J. Taylor is the widow of Gov
F. Taylor, a member of the Royal Ar
canum, Arapahoe lodge, of Denver
Col. He was insured for $4,000 in 1895
and died in November, 1900. Payment
of the insurance certificate was con-
tested on the ground that he had not
paid the monthly assessment of Oc-
tober, 1900 due on the last day of that
month, and was therefore suspended
according to the bylaws.
The collector failed to pay Taylor's
assessment for October, as he had been
in the habit of doing when overdue,
and when it was rendered three days
later, just before Taylor's death, it was
refused on the ground that under the
bylaws Taylor was under suspension
Mrs. Taylor recovered judgment against
the supreme council, which appealed.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS TO
REPLACE RELIGIOUS ONES
Significance of Wednesdays Action of
the French Chamber.

PARIS, March 19-The vote in the
chamber Of deputies yesterday gives
definite form to the present policy Of
the government to terminate the exist
ence Of the religious teaching orders
and to substitute a system of govern
mental schools. The principle of this
change was formulated under the pre-
miership of NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, but
its actual enforcement was left to the
present Coombes ministry. The law
voted yesterday is very brief, simply
refusing authorization to teach to all
the male teaching orders. The effect Of
this is to place the orders outside the
pale Of the law, and their further eX-
istence is through sufferance. There
remains to be determined the time the
orders will be allowed to wind up their
affairs and terminate their work. Many
of the orders have already completed
their plans to retire from the field. 1t
is expected that a few months will al
most suffice to execute the changes.

THEATRES

Anna Held and her company are
playing to large audiences at the Met
ropoiitan, where the dainty star and
her play, The Little Duchess" have
charmed theatergoers. The display of
gorgeous gowns almost rivals the fas-
cination of the piece itself, so that the
eye Is pleased as much as the ear is
charmed. Miss Held wears stunning
gowns herself, but she does not stop at
that, for she has provided for her re-
tlnue of charming women a series Of
Ver1table dreams which draw forth en-
thuS1astic applause as the wearerS
make their appearance. Miss Held, in
the title part and masquerading as the
Parls gamin, shows the development Of
her art as one of the brightest and
most captivating condolences, and her
songs are given with a charming chic
and Verve. "Chole," "Saide" and Mol

MINERS WAGES BASED
ON THE PRICE OF COAL
Belief That the report of the Commits
sion Recommends This.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Although
the findings of the anthracite coal
strike commission have not been made
public, an inkling, seemingly based on
the very best of authority has reached
this city as to the nature of the con-
cessions which would be made to the
miners in the matter of wages. This
was that there should be established,
for the next three years. a sliding scale,
and that the prices paid to the miners
would be based on charges made by the
operators for g. ton of coal. This mini
mum rate of wages for the miners is
to be the price which is now paid to
them.

The surgeon general of the marine
hospital service has received an inter-
esting report from Assistant Surgeon
Grubbs at the gulf quarantine station
in regard TO the conditions under which
MOSQUITOES infected with yellow fever
are brought to United States ports on
vessels from ports where The infection
prevails. From June to November last
he made careful inspection of vessels
arriving frCm ports where the presence
Of the stcgomyia renders them liable to
infection.
On the eighty-two vessels from posi-
bly, yellow fever ports sixty-five had
no mosquitoes on board at any time
during the voyage, five had the insects
on board at port of departure, nine re-
ported the appearance en- route of
culeX, or harmless mosquitoes, and
three brought stergomia to the station.
All three of the last group were from
Vera Cruz, yellow fever port, and the
voyage lasted on an average of seven
teen days. Surgeon Grubbs gives the
mosquito history of each of the three
and reaches these conclusions:
First, that mosquitoes can come
aboard a vessel under favorable con-
ditions when the vessel is not far from
shore; second, that stegomyia can be
carried from Mexican or West Indies
ports to those of our gulf states; third,
that they can board a vessel lying at
anchor half a mile or less from
shore, being conveyed by the open
lighters used for flying aboard, and
finally, that vessel moored a short
distance from land may become in
fected with yellow fever our old beliefs
to the contrary Notwithstanding"

owners of which refuse to make re-
pairs, and the removal of overhanging
balconies. which make many of the
alleys picturesque, but which are very
dangerous in case of fire. The first
work was on an old building at the
rear of st. Mary's church, in Dupont
street. All the filthy wooden novels
that had been added to the original
brick structure were removed, the
walls were secured and whitewashed,
and new system of plumbing was in
troduced. If this method is enforced

will be attired in a vernal gown to

expected this season. All over town
the shade trees are putting forth a
fuzzy, green understanding, the pre-

In the parks the flower beds are bloom

and powerful perfume.
Washington has been thronged for
several weeks with visitors on their
Easter tours. but the greatest crowd is
expected in April and May, and by the
middle of April the city will be decked
in appropriate spring attire. Most of
the visitors at this season of the year
come from the north and east, where
the spring season is a month or six
weeks later. and they are always de-
lighted and surprised to find the foliage
out and the air soft and balmy. There
is a marked difference in this respect
between Washington and New York,
just five hours apart by railway

Cleaning Up San Francisco's China

San Francisco, April 6.-The street
car employees have agreed to submit
the questions in dispute between them
selves and the United Railroads Com
pany to arbitration, which practically
ends all chance of strike. Any tie-up
of railroads at this time, when the city
is crowded with Eastern tourists,
would have been very damaging TO
business. The street car men saw
that their demands were extortionate,
and that the public had no sympathy
with them. They have now come down
ITO a demand for more wages and fewer
hours of work, and will! make fight
on these two points. But it is doubtful
whether they will succeed as they are
among the best paid men of their class
in this country.
In the last six weeks more than six
teen thousand colonists have arrived in

aroused in the state by descriptions of
the easy life for farmers and fruit
growers in this region, where the Win
ter is almost as pleasant as the sum-
mer, and where stock can live in open
sheds the year round. The result of
this influx of Eastern people will be the
starting of many new colonies and the
dividing up of the great ranches in the
