That the roster of officers is not yet
full is evidenced by the fact that the
newly appointed lieutenant is asked to
forward the names of any one of his
comrades whose time under Uncle Sam
has expired, and who might be DESTROYS
of taking service with the Chinese
army. Applications must be made in
writing, giving age, experience, mar.
ried or single, and branch of the serv-
ice in which the appointment is desired.
Mr.. English closed his letter by
warning against the wiles of newspa-
per men, and telling his new recruit to
give out absolutely nothing to reporters
on the subject.
With the letter came an official APP
pointment as first lieutenant of in
fantry and note added that this
might not be the rank when the Chi
nese government gave out the COM
missions, but that it would be nothing
less. In both the letter and appoint
ment English signed his name in full,
but neglected to mention his title. 1t
is said that he will rank as major
general, and will have complete charge
of the reform army, taking orders only
from the empress and Sir Robert Hart,
the English adventurer who years ago
was appointed head of the Chinese Gus
tom bureau, and whose influence With
the empress has resulted in many
startling reforms.

Aeronaut's Brother States Balloon Was
in Good Condition, But Others
Think the Supply Of Air Was
insufficient for Trip.

Chicago, Nov. S0,--Peter Nissen is be-
lieved either to be smothered or frozen
to death In his balloon Fool Killer
In which he started on a trip across
Lake Michigan yesterday. The opinion
that Nissen is lost became general this
afternoon when It was found. after "a
hours that, absolutely no word was
received from the inventor. who some
years ago shot the whirlpool rapids of
Niagara In barrel He has not been
sighted by any vessel
The possibility of Nissens smoth-
ering is considered more probable since
IT is learned that only poor supply Of
air was pumped into the Fool Killer
before the craft was launched Mis-
sens brothers, however say the navi-
gator computed the air and figured it
would last him great number of
hours.
At the weather bureau 1t is said that
even II Nissen reached the shore he
would suffer from the Intense cold. as
a snowstorm is blowing near the Michi-
gan shore, and as his boat has no
means OF heating and permitting no air
the navigator would suffer severely.

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 2s.-one Of
the most interesting cases ever brought
to the attention Of medical men in this
city is that Of Amy Pine. 12 years old
who is dead at her home here. The
child had been sufferer for years
and, although she was treated by the
most able physicians and specialists
the nature of her ailments was so pc
cular that she obtained no relief. A
consultation of many of the local ply
sicians was held a short time ago re-
garding this little girl, and the state
ment is made that the position of the
various organs of the body in this case
was contrary to nature and startling
to the medical world.
The doctors declared that little
Amy's heart was on the right side, in
stead Of the left, and that one lung
was in the stomach, while the position
of the intestines where this lung rest
ed was changed to another part of her
body. Not only this, ths physicians
declared. but the position of other in
ternal organs was compIetely changed.
After the little girl died physicians
who had attended her requested that
they be permitted to hold an autopsy,
but the request was denied. They said

prevented holocaust that would have
been without parallel in the annals Of
the city. AS soon as it was seen that
the fire could not be controlled by the
chemical apparatus and the small
hose on reels in the wards and corri-
doris of the sanitarium. stretcher line
was established and the helpless pa
tients started for the door.
The firemen made herculean efforts
to subdue the flames which were pour
ing from roofs and windows. and their
efforts and those of the attendants from
the Offices Of the institution resulted
In confining the fire TO the fifth story
