COAST DEFENSES MORE
THAN HALF COMPLETED
twenty-five Harbors Have Sufficient
Heavy Guns and Mortars.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 25.-The
annual report of Gen. George L. Giles
pie, chief of engineers, United States
army, for the year ended June 80,
1903, dealing with Notifications and
river and harbor work, has been made
public. He refers first to the work of
constructing Notifications that has
been going under the general scheme of
the Endicott board and adds:
"The degree of defense to be pro-
vided for coaling and other naval sta
tons scattered ali over the world, for
the larger naval bases which must be
promptly established and for which
appropriations are asked of congress
by the navy department for the ports
of Manila, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu
and for the lake ports and the ST.
determined by a tribunal similar to
the Endicott board as recommended in
my last annual report.
1.-THE sea coast defenses of the United
States are now somewhat more than
so per cent completed. Twenty five
of the principal harbors of the United
States have a sufficient number of
heavy guns and mortars mounted to
permit ample defense against a naval
attack and the past three years have
witnessed the installation of a rapid
fire armament, now the matter of first
Importance"
At present there are provided for
the defense of the United States los
twelve-inch guns, 133 ten-lnch guns, 96
eight-inch guns, SGT rapid-fre guns
and 376 twelve-inch nortars. Regard
ing submarine mines the report says:
with few exceptions all harbors
are now equipped. with torpedo store
houses, cable tanks and serviceable
mining classmates. Many of the lat
ter are not of the latest type and are
complained of by the artillery as in
sufficient in size. As funds become
available they will be replaced by more
convenient and commodious case
mates

.E[UDES MOB AFTER
KILLING HIS SONS
Scorned by Wife, Indiana Farm
Hand Shoots His Two
Little Boys.

MARION. Ind. Oct. 25-Jesse Nc
Clure, a farm hand, murdered his two
sons aged five and seven years, this
afternoon, leaving their bodies in
fence corner. While mob was form
ing to capture and lynch him Mcclure
drove on a run to this city and gave
himself up. He has been secreted by
the authorities, who fear attempted
violence.
Mcclure lived near Frankton and had
separated from his wife a year ago,
she refusing to live with him and re-
turning with her children to her IA
ther's home.
At noon to-day Mcclure hired a rig
at Elwood and drove to the Kilgore
farm, the owner being Mrs. McClure's
father. He found the children playing
in the front yard and induced them
with candy to take ride with him.
He drove a mile up the road, carried
the children to fence corner and shot
them with a revolver. The older one
was found dead a few minutes later
and the younger was dying, a piece of
the candy being still in his mouth.
Mcclure fed and was pursued by
crowd of young farmers bent on deadly
vengeance. The alarm was given, and
from all surrounding towns armed pur-
suers started. Mcclure succeeded in
reaching the jail here without being
stopped and the authorities have hid
den him away. Intense excitement
prevails.
To the Jail turnkey Mcclure admit
ted the murder of his two children,
and said he had killed them because
his wife had left him and refused to
see him. Said he:
when sne refused to see me decid-
ed to be reVenged, and drove down
the road to a little clump Of small
trees. My two children were asleep
IN the buggy. When stopped the Jolt
awoke my little boy, Dee. He looked
up to me and said: Papa, what are
you going to do %9
Il put my hand over his eyes and
took my gun from my pocket and shot
him in the forehead, killing him in
stantly. The shot awoke little Homer,
and / took him by the shoulder and
fired a shot into his head. They both
fell to the bottom of the buggy. I
drove the horse to the side of the road
and lifted both bodies out and laid
them out on the witkered grass. I then
drove directly to Marion to the jail,
and am here to give myself up.
"The neighbors will lynch me when
they find out what / have done. I do
not care what you do with me. 1 am
ready to die and expect to hang for
this crime. All that I ask is to see my
dear little ones buried"
Late this evening it was learned that
mob was being formed to come to
Marion tonight and lynch Mcclure.
Deputy Sheriff Williams spirited the
murderer away from the Jail and start
ed with him to Indianapolis.

CROKER INTENDS TO
MOVE TO IRELAND
He Is Giving Up His Racing
Stables at Vantage, and
Shipping His Horses.
Special Foreign Service.

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Richard Croker
has become as weary of England as
he did of the United States, and is
planning now to move on to Ireland.
He has had almost continuous bad
luck at racing in the last two seasons,
and has at last figured it out that the
Irish soil and climate are better for
race horses.
An Irish member of parliament said
today that Croker is giving up his
racing stables at Vantage and New
market and in a few weeks will trans
fer all his racers to the Curragh of
Kildare, where they will be under the
charge of Tom Parkinson. The boss"
has observed that for the last two or
three years Irish-bred horses have
been most successful in classic events
and he is therefore going to try his
luck at breeding as well as racing.
He has also made up his mind to
live in Ireland during a large portion
of the year, and for that purpose he
is looking out for suitable residence.
He has been offered one or two man
sions In the most fashionable quarters
of Dublin, but he says he prefers some
place in the country, away from the
hustle and excitement Of city life. 1t
is understood among his friends that
he will eventually make his perma-
nent home in Ireland, and that the
mansion on the Berkshire Downs will
be left to his son BERTHE.
Discussing the prospects of Ireland
with an eX-member of the Irish party
a short time ago, Croker said: "How
canyIreland expect anything from Eng
land when your own people refuse to
speculate a penny in developing her
resources? There is plenty of money
in the Irish banks, but Irishmen at
home lack enterprise"

Ne" York Subway TunneI-Rescuers Compelled to
Remove Boulders Weighing Thousands of Pounds
Before Recovering Dead and injured

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Ten lives
were lost by the cave-in of the roof
and walls of the subway tunnel at One
Hundred and Ninety-fifth st.eet last
night and four persons were badly in
jured. All of the dead and injured were
workmen. and most of them Italians.

morgue.
The accident was the most disastrous
that has occurred in the construction
of the subway. AT the point where
the cave-in occurred gang of twenty
men were at work in the tunnel, which
is about 11O feet below the surface.
Rufus c. Hunt, general supsrintend-
ent of the tunnel work, said that two
converging seams had appeared in the
roof of the tunnel during the day work
on Saturday. The presence of these
seams, however, was not believed to
indicate any more dangerous character
of the rock than had previously been
encountered, although 1t was thought
necessary to prop the roof with a num-
Der of upright timber braces
The tunnel was being bored by open
Ing perpendicular embrasure in the
face of the bore and blasting the sides
to the right and left of this embrasure

PRESTON, Mimi, Oct. 25.-The
names of all the victims of Mrs. Car
rie Phillips operations cannot now be
ascertained nor can the forgeries and
straight loans be separated, but it is
known that Jerome Utley and Amanda
Miller are involved to the extent Of
$4,000 or more each, and Herman Som
mers and Theodore Doebbert, retired
farmers, are said to have lost $1,000
and $500, respectively.
Mrs Lydia Parker holds the Joint
note of Mrs. Philips and her husband
for $400, but this will probably bep
paid. One of Mrs. Phillips forgeries
was known some months ago when one
of the notes was made good by her
uncle, L. NJ Conkey, who gave his
personal note for the amount involved.
Some of the papers were in the hands
of e. Annushinsky, a st. Paul business

Since King Edwards illness ap-
pendicitis has been fiippantly termed
a fashionable disease" Its preya-
lence, however, has now become
alarming, and medical men are cast
ing about for solutions of the mystery
of its remarkable increase.
DR.. 8. Kellet Smith, in the Lancet,
says that "the cause, whatever it is,
must be one affecting the mass of the
people, rich and poor; it must be
common to all countries of high
civilization and big towns; it must be
coincident with the increase in the
disease"
During DIR. Smiths studentship
such cases were rare; he does not
remember one appendiceotomy at
his infirmary in the period. The
doctor seeks for the solution in the
present conditions of food supply and
distribution.
"Probably four.fifths of the chief
perishable comestibles," he says, care
frozen or chilled for transmission or
collection before reaching the custo-
mer. Chilled or frozen meat, fish,
poultry, rabbits, game, ETC., are noto-
riously prone to rapid decomposition
when removed from cold storage ;
also they degenerate more rapidly
after cooking than unfrozen articles.
"Following the argument, it may
result in more septic state of the
intestine than in the pre-cold storage
and this greater septioity may in its
turn account for the greater virulence
of those irritations to which the
eaecum and appendix have always
been prone"

What The Doctor Ordered.

In the United States Senate, when
a member is conducting the discus.
sion of some bill which attracts much
attention, he is called upon to reply
to all sorts of searching criticisms
To get contested measure through
requires strength of purpose, nimble
wit and complete knowledge of the
subject. The ordeal also levies upon
the physical strength of the man in
charge.
One day during big debate in
the recent session, Senator Spooner
who was in charge, did not feel SC
well as usual and forthwith consulted
mis- physician, a man who is close
student of public affairs.
"There is nothing serious the mat.
ter with you," said the medical man
"You have been on strain, that's
all; I'll give you some pills which
you will find to be an excellent nerve
tonic Take them in the morning
just before going to the Senate"
"Ilow many shall take? ?'
"That depends upon circum-
stances" replied the physician
''Let's see, who's slated to CRITICS Q
your bill tomorrow ?'
The Senator from Wisconsin men
toned the name of a colleague
known as a strong and resourceful
debater.
"Take three pills." said the physi-
clan.
"Who's to be your opponent the
next day ?"
The name of Senator not quite
so formidable as the first was given.
"Two pills." said the doctor
"And who's the man you meet in
debate the following day."
The name was given.
zone pill will do. And who is
down to assail your bill and ask you
questions on the fourth day2'
Senator Spoouer named a Senator
who evidently had no' impressed the
physician.
"You may omit the pills entirely
that day"
The Senator laughed. "Next
week Pm to have Tillman, of South
Carolina, on my hands," he volun-
teered.
"On that day take four pills before
going to the Capitol and one every
half-hour during the rest of the day."
