her target practice stunt of Martha's Vine
yard. and anchored OF Tompkinsville,

her guns, she has beaten the Alabama,
which recently distinguished herself by
knocking out the scores of the best memo
wars men in the world.
With all Of her heavy guns, the 1ndiana's
proud gunners say, she has done better
work than any ship with guns Of the same
type. She has created a new standard
for s-inch guns, one pointer. Seaman
Treanor, having made four straight hits In
2 minutes and 10 seconds. All the shots
struck bullseye about four feet square.
This is better than has ever been done in
any navy.
With her old hydraulic l3-inch mounts
the Indiana has done better work than some
vessels with mounts controlled by cleo
trieity, one pointer, Co1swain Redel.

and 2l seconds. Her men at the 0-tnch
guns gave her an average Of nearly four
hits per minute and put her at the head
Of the navy as shooter Of this type OF gun
Her 6-pounder score is excelled by only one

SALT LAKE, Utah. Sept. 2O.--Bronson
Howard, the dramatist. holds the women

He believes their escapades are Responsible
for the bad name the women Of New YORK

To-day Mr.. Howard, who IL here on Q

THE reports that recently have been ssnt

women Of the metropolis, and the East N

to the habit of excessive drinking. whtls
founded on certain facts, are false.
1.-THE American women are not becoming
addicted to the drink habit and do not
hesitate to make the assertion that they
never will During the past few years
there has been a decided movement In
several circles, not only in New York but
all over this country and in England a. well.
to abolish the practice Of immoderation
in the taking of wine.
"The facts upon which the stories that

FIRE BRINGS BROADWAY CROWD.
Wasn't Much OF Blaze, but Folks on the
street ENJOYED II.

Broadway had a little fire last night,
and the Sunday night sidewalk crowds
made the most Of it.. The trouble st arted
with thick bank of smoke that seemed
to come from the Sheridan Building, on the
northwest corner Of Thirty-sixth street.
1t floated over into Broad way and momen-
tarily stifed the strollers.
Some one rang an alarm, and when the
fremen came there was crowd in front
of the building which extends back to
Sixth avenue. The crowd thought the
fire was in that building, and the firen,en
dashed up the ST airs with line of hose.
They got up two flights before they learned
that the blaze was four houses further
north on Broadway.
The Rialto restaurant is at 1869, Too
much grease in the kitchen chimney had
set fire 10 the SCOT and caused the smoke
The galvanized iron chimney became red
hot and started the woodwork burning
on a rear extension.
The fire didn't last long. but the crowd
WAS big enough to block ratio and bring
the Broadway cars to a standstiu.

Special Cable Despatch " THH SUN
LONDON. Sept. 2O.-It is officially an
nounced that the King has accepted the
designations OF Lord Balfour OF Burleigh,
Secretary for Scotland in the Cabinet.
and the Right Hon. Arthur Elliott, Financial
Secretary OF tho Treasury. The latter liz
brother OF the Earl of Mimic, the Governor
General Of Canada. Both Lord Balfour
and Mr.. Elliott are free traders.
Lord Balfour Of Burleigh was in the Sails
bury Cabinet and remained as Secretary
for Scotland under Mr.. Balfour The Right
Hon. Arthur Elliott, who has been editor
of the Edinburgh Reriev since 1895. sue
oeeded William Hayes Fisher as Financial
Secretary Of the Treasury on April 10 last.
when the latter resigned because Of his
connection with the Telescriptor synfli-
cate, which was in financial difficulties,
1t Is not expected that other members
Of the Cabinet will press their designations
on account Of Mr.. Balfour's position on
the fiscal question until after his speech
at Sheffield on Oct. l, but Mr.. William
St. John Brcdrick who started for Bal
moral to see the King to-day. will possibly
resign the Secretaryship of War and sue
coed Lord George Hamilton as Secretary
of State for India.
This transference would not arise in the
present crisis but from the deep dissatis-
faction Of the country with the report Of
the War Commission, which practically
said the administration Of the War Office
had not really improved since the close OF
the war in South Africa. that is to say. that
Mr.. Brodrck's tenure OF office had been a
failure SO far as the promise of reforms
went.
1t Is predicted that Mr.. Arnold Forster,
Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty,
will succeed him, but this is doubtful al
with the promotion Of Austen Chamberlain
Lord Selborne and other favorites 1t would
mean that the Liberal Unionists would be
represented numerically in the Cabinet
far in excess Of their proportion OF repre-
sentation in Parliament.
The Dolly Express says it understands the
Government has decided not to bring Lord
Kitchener to the War Office
