INSPECTED sLocUM's HULK.
Evidence That Fire Started In a Barre
In Forward RatchWay.

IN rOTWdTd natCIWdy'
New York, June 2S.-The coroner's
jury investigating the General Slocum
disaster was taken to the hulk of the
burned steamer at Erie basin and after
an inspection of the wreck and the eX
animation of several witnesses pro
ceeded in police patrol boat over the
route followed by the steamer on the
day of the Inflated excursion.
Commander Winslow of the navy
who with General Wilson of the army
was appointed to make federal inquiry
into the disaster was on board the
Slocum when the coroner and his party
arrived. He was accompanied by Su
pervising Inspector General Uhler and
District Head Inspector Rodie. Com
mander Winslow compiled a descrip
ton of the Slocum's interior as he
found it.
On board the Slocum, Coroner Ber
ry led the way to the forward hatch
way, blackened opening in tho midst
of a pile of rotting life preservers
tangled iron and half burned barrels.
Torrance McManus, counsel for the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company
was asked by the coroner if he would
concede that that was the spot where
the fire was first discovered. Mr.. Nc
Manus declined to concede anything
and when Mr.. Brandow, the assistant
engineer, was called, answered the
question aflirmatvely.
Former Fire Marshal Thomas f
Freel said that he had examined the
hold of the vessel on the day it was
raised. He found that the fire start.

PENNsY's ECONOMY,
Enforced Vacations Without Pay Is
the Latest Policy.

Philadelphia, June 27.-It has prac-
tically been determined to make no
public official announcement Of the
character and extent of the proposed
ct. cnchment among the clerical and
accounting forces in the Broad street
general Offices of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Notices announcing the
lengthening of the office hours an hour
per day on and after July have been
posted in the different auditing depart
ments, and others are expected to be
posted daily.
able it Is apparently not the purpose
of the management to reduce the force
to any extent, but the policy to be
pursued is that of enforced vacations
without pay.
These vacations are to be distribut.
ed among the employees wherever pos.
sible during the summer months, be.
ginning with July, at the rate Of five
Gays per month"; instead of the usual
two weeks vacation taken at one tine.
Owing to the withdrawal Of the usual
vacation pay the reduction in time
will be distributed over several months
and will prove less of a hardship to
many of the clerks, who can i'll afford
to lose any amount Of time.
In discussing the proposed retrench
ment, one of those likely to be af
fected said that President Cassatt
could issue no more popular order than
one announcing that the entire gen
eral office force, from the president
down, would be obliged to take their
usual vacation without pay. BY such
an order, he said, a saving could be
effected that would amount to some
thing and everyone under the circum
stances, would be in hearty sympathy
with the president.
The announcement that the passen
ger conductors are to be given the
usual two weeks vacation with pay is
likely 10 be a discrimination in favor
of a certain class of employees that is
not warranted under present condi
tiOnS

Better Crop Advices.

Bradstreets summary of the state
of trade says:
There has been some enlargement
in demand at the West this week, but
the betterment as yet is largely one
of tone and is predicated upon the
unquestionably better crop advices
received from nearly all sections.
AS usual this improvement finds its
readiest reflection in the stock market,
which has been slightly more cheerful
than for some time past while the
continued ease of money is indicated
by the prompt over-subscriptions for
