BATHING BEACH RESCUES
REDUCED TO FRACTION
Interesting Facts in Superintendent
Stevens Report.

The annual report of the Superintend-
ent of the Bathing Beach was submitted
to the Commissioners today by w. X.
Stevens. who has been in charge of the
beach for many years. The total mum
Der of bathers registered during the sea-
son is given as S3, 496, Of which 26.5S9
were white men 429 white women and
$3.50 negroes. There were seventeen
rescues from drowning and not a life
lost
For number OF years past" says Mr..
Stevens, the rescues have averaged
very nearly one to the thousand bathers.
but this season the ratio has been re-
duced TO one-half OF one 70 the thousand.
and when this inner basin is perfected
there will be little need of lifeguards
Every day this season the water cf
the inner basin has been cleaner and
healthier for bathing than the open
river water outside This is the YER
diet OF thousands who had the opportu-
nifty 10 try both. At first the floating
baths in the open water were favored
by many because OF the statements
against the inner basin made by some
OF the papers, but the evidence OF their
own eyes and actual trial proved the
clear water. the sandy bottom and the
shady shores of the basin TO be so far
preferable that near the end OF the ca
son not one in hundred went to the
floating baths at ALL"
Superintendent Stevens estimates that
$4,000 Will pay for all desired improve
ments and maintain the bathing beach
for the next fiscal year

DEATH NEAR AT HAND
HOPE FOR RECOVERY OF ARCH.
BISHOP KAHN ABANDONED.
DYING Man One of the Most Popular
Preiates of the Catholic Church
in the United States.

baltimore. Oct. 13-The condition
of Archbishop Kahn is still unchanged.
He became unconscious Sunday and is
In the same condition. At st. Agnes

tient for several weeks, the physicians

widely known and most popular prel-
ates in the United States. Born in

seminary at Ellicott Md. where he
was graduated in 1862. He then en-
tered St. Mary's college at Baltimore,
which institution was the scene Of his
higher studies. He was ordained d
priest by Archbishop Spaulding on
July 2, 1866.
As a priest his early work was In
the territory along the Potomac river.
In May, 1875, he was consecrated
bishop Of Wheeling. He ruled that
diocese until June Is, 1893, when he
was appointed coadjutor to the Most
Rev. Richard Peter Kenrick of st.
Louis. Upon the death of that prel-
ate he succeeded to the archbishopric
OF st. Louis on May 21. 1895.

There was a moderate rally in the
first hour of the afternoon session

ACTIVELY ASSIST,

London, Oct. 13.-In spite Of the re-
assuring statements Of the foreign
office and Baron Hayashi, the Japan
ese minister, the frequent reiteration
that hostilities between Russia and
Japan are imminent, the mysterious
movements of the Russian and Japan
ese fleets and the excited state OF pub
lie opinion in Japan are beginning to
cause disquiet in Great Britain, which,
by reason of her alliance with Japan,
Is SO intimately concerned in any ac-
ton which the latter may take in the
Far East. Only the most sanguine
persons believe that in the event of
hcstiities they could be kept within
the limits which would free Great
Britain from her obligation to support
her Japanese ally. Even Baron Hay
ashi. who heretofore has ridiculed all
suggestions OF war. is not SO optimis-
Tic. Indirectly he admits the possi
oliity OF war by expressing the hope
thit III the event OF crisis Japan will
have the active sympathy OF her ally,
Great Britain
While refusing to credit the reports
OF an ultimatum having been dellv-
cred Baron Hayashi admitted mat the
diplomatic situation had changed

may have arisen from the failure or

OF Japanese military movements there
are likely TO be a repetition OF similar
