On January 1, 1904, Mr.. Emerson
HOugh of Chicago, known for nearly
twenty years over the signature of

topics in the best periodicals of the
country, and without doubt the best
posted writer on field sports in the
United States, takes i've an interest
and u editorial charge of Field

reputation as a writer, a sportsman
and a man, leaves no necessity for
us to explain or to express our salts
faction in this arrangement.

termination as we learn by the Nov
ember issue. Alvah ID. James and
his companions crossed the South
American continent, every expectation
being realized, and we are promised
the first instalment of the narrative
in Field and Stream for December.
Mr.. James secured a large number of

is published at 80 West 21st ST. New

NOTHING POLITICAL
In the Departure of the Fleet for
AmapaIa.

In the Departure of the Fleet for
AmapaIa.
Washington, Feb. 4.-According to
naval officials there is no political sig
nifcance in the dispatch of the four
vessels of Admiral Casey's fleet to Anna
pala Island. The State Department
suggested that one vessel be sent to
the island to afford protection to Amer
lean interests, which might be imperil-
led as a result of the civil troubles
which are threatened in Honduras, but
the Navy Department thought that it
would be a good plan to dispatch the
entire fleet, with directions to cruise to-
gether as far as possible, so as to give
an opportunity for sea drills and tacti-
cal practice. 1t is declared that it Is
for this reason only that all the YES
sells of Admiral Casey's fleet are going
to Central America.
Some months ago Admiral Glass was
selected to succeed Admiral Casey in
command of the Pacific coast fleet. The
original date of change was Feb. TO-
but this has been advanced so that he
win relieve Admiral Casey Immediately
The statement is made that no rush
orders have been given for work under
construction at the Mare Island yard,
and that such unusual activity as may
be apparent is due to the effort to pre-
pare the vessels of Admiral Casey's
fleet for their cruise in Central America.

SUBMARINE DEFENSE
is TO BE ESTABLISHED AT TYBEE
FOR SAVANNAH.
CAPT. GILMORE IN CHARGE.
HAS BEEN ORDERED TO SAVANNAH
ON THIS DUTY.

Capt. Gilmore Has Been Receiving
Instructions at New York in This
Especial Line of WOrk-POIicy of
the War Department to Establish
Thorough Coast Defense at All of
the Atlantic Coast Harbors-Sn-
vannnh Among the First to be
Provided With the Defenses.
Washington, Feb, 4.-Tybee is to be
the scene of various submarine defense
operations in the near future. Capt.
j. c. Gilmore, Jr, of the Coast De-
Tense Artillery, has been ordered to
Savannah to take charge of the sub
marine defense preparations to be car
ried forward at Tybee. Capt. Gill
more was at the War Department to-
day to receive special instructions re-
garding the important duty to which
he was assigned.
This is in line with the policy of the
War Department to establish a thor
ough coast defense at all of the At
lantic coast harbors. Savannah and
Charleston are among the first to be
provided with the new system of sub
marine defense.
Capt. Gilmore has been undergoing
instruction at Fort Totten, New York
harbor for the past year in this spe-
cial line of service. When the Span
ish war came on army officers, with
few exceptions, were ignorant of the
methods of submarine defense. With
view to Strengthening the coast de-
lenses a school of instruction was es-
tablished in New York harbor, and ar
tillery officers were sent there to pre-
pare for the work about to be COM
menced.
At the War Department it is said
that there is nothing alarming jim the
fact that the Southern harbors are to
be placed in a state of preparedness,
but it is precautionary measure in
line with the growth and proposed i'm
provement in the military service.

RECEIVED RUSH ORDERS.
Follows at the Mare Island
Navy Yard.

Mare Island Navy Yard. CAL. Feb.
4.-Rush orders have been received
from Washington that all work now in
progress on vessels in the navy yard
be completed with the greatest possible
disOatch.
In view of this order, an extra force
of men will be employed at once, and
a night force was inaugurated last
night to complete the repairs on the
United States gunboat Bennington,
which is practically ready for service.
Several other vessels can be made ready
for sea within a short time.
Large quantities of stores were ship
ped to San Francisco to-day to be
transferred to the Boston, New York
and Ranger, now lying at anchor in
the harbor.
1t is believed that the trouble brewing
in Honduras is the only reason for the
animation now being shown at the
navy yard.

Supt. Sheats announced from the
platform that Booker Washington
would speak in the Court House at
o'clock Thursday night, with half sc
house reserved for white people. His
coming is anticipated with a great deal
of interest, and will probably draw
more people than the room can ac-
coinmodate. The negroes are making
big preparations to entertain him.

ing news twenty-four hours later than
that reported by the steamer Break
water at New Orleans Tuesday Capt.
Danielsen reports that on Friday last
there were no signs of revolution, but
much talk about revolution in Saliva

The opinion at Puerto Cortez was
that the trouble between Sierra and
Bonilla would be confined to Salvador
and Guatemala. He is not aware of
any stampede of Americans from Hon
duras. No passengers came by his
Vesesl..
No information of any revolution in
Honduras has reached L. M. Moraques,
consular agent of that country in Mo-
bile. The trouble in Salvador will
hardly take place until March, when
Bonilla will demand the presidential
chair from Sierra.

BLEW SIXTY MILES.
High Winds and Heavy Rains Pre-
vailed in Tennessee.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. A very
heavy rain and windstorm prevailed
here last night, lasting until early
this morning. The velocity of the
wind reached sixty miles an hour, the
highest since the local weather bu-
reau was established. Extensive
damage was caused to electric wires,
and for several hours this city was
cut off entirely from telegraph and
telephone communication with the
outside world Many local light, pow
er and telephone lines were affected.
The Tennessee river was four feet
above low water this morning.
Reports from flood warning stations
on streams above here Indicate an av-
erage rainfall of one inch throughout
Upper East Tennessee yesterday and
last night. This, the weather bureau
officials think, will cause a rise of sew
eral additional feet in the Tennessee
river here, though no serious flood is
anticipated. Yesterdays and last
nights rainfall was GA inches.
