TOO MUCH HASTE IN
FIRING THE BIG GUNS.

Washington, April 1.-THE entire
Navy Department is stunned by the
appalling catastrophe. The Bureau of
Navigation has been active since the
FIRST news of the accident reached here
shortly after o'clock. Although the
commanding officer of the Missouri,
Capt. w. s. Cowles. as soon as he ar
rived at Pensacola, sent dispatches to
the nearest of kin of all the men killed,
the department also is sending out
these announcements so that there may
be no mistake.
Capt. John r. Pillsbury. assistant
chief of the Bureau of Navigation, re-
NAMED constantly at his desk and,
with the other officers of the bureau
and clerical force. started arrange
ments to care for the bodies Of the Of
ficeFs and men. Secretary Moody Is
preparing a dispatch of sympathy to
be sent to Rear Admiral Barker, COM
mander-in-chief of the North Atlantic
fleet, requesting him to convey to the
commander. the officers and men of
the Missouri, the profound sympathy
of the department.
With only the brief dispatch from
Admiral Barker. telling how the acct
dent occurred. all the officials Of the
department, from Secretary Moody
down, hesitate to attempt an expiana-
tion of it. A naval expert tonight
said:
Il fear that enthusiasm in making
world records has led us past the dam
ger line. In our anxiety to surpass the
world in the rapidity of big gun fire.
fear we have permitted our enthu-
siasm to get the better of our judg-
ment. It would seem from the dis
patch that not enough time had been
allowed to elapse between the firing.
1t is only recently that we have per-
mitted the breech to be opened almost
the moment the gun was fired, and in

Letter from Bryan Read.
A letter was read from William ].
Bryan which says;
II trust that those present will take
advantage of the occasion to present to
the country the Importance of main
tanning Democratic principles as
set forth in the platform of 1895 and
1900. The merger decision shows how
closely the Supreme Court is divided
and how easy it is for those who SYM
pathize with corporate wealth TO find
plausible reasons for staying the hand
of the government when it attempts to
rebuke those who exploit the people.
Under our constitution, the President
appoints judges and those who have
watched the decisions in the Hayes
Tilden contest, in the income tax cases,
in the trust cases and in the cases in
volving the policy of the government
in the Philippines cannot doubt that it
is as important to have judges who
sympathize with the people as to have
judges learned in the law. In the pres
ent struggle between plutocracy and
Democracy the corporations are seek
ing to control the Supreme Court, and
if they can do that the House of Rep
resentatives the Senate and the Presi-
dent are powerless to protect the peo-
pie.
Il trust that those who are honored
with an invitation to speak at your
banquet will raise note of warning
against the attempt now being made
by the money magnateS to control the
Democratic convention and to secure
the nomination of Democratic candi-
date who will he obligated in advance
to betray the hopes OF the Democratic
masses.
A letter was read from John S. Will

of the National House of Representa-
tives.
National Morality" was the subject

Charles A. Culberson Of Texas.
William r. Villas of Wisconsin, for

dress no class interests but with the
cry of justice for all classes; in which,

The party is false to its principles, rec

feat and shame, when it Quails In pur-
pose or prevaricates in effort for these
just ends of the whole people. 1t can

in popular intelligence, in wholesome

preparation made by Congress for the
purpose of holding these nTaneuvers.
Plan of ManeCVers.
The plan contemplates the gathering
at Manassas, Va, of $4,000 regular
troops, and $4,000 of the organized
militia from the various states in the
East, the whole force to be under the
command of Maj. Gen. Corbin. These
maneuvers will occupy about two
weeks.
While it will hardly be possible for
any number of complete organizations
from Georgia to attend these maneu-
yers, Gov. Terrell is very anxious to
send one full company from Geor-
gia. He has not yet reached a def
mite conclusion in the matter, but it
IS not at all unlikely that he will
designate for this purpose the new
company which is soon to be mustered
into the service of the state at La
Grange, In Troup county. This new
company will be organized and mus
tered into service on April % by Col.
W. G. Obear, inspector general. The
HSW COIHpdny mas IlIIy-SeNen men,
and doubtless will be in pretty good
shape by that time.
Order Goes to Captains.
The order which is being prepared
Will contain a copy of the War De-
partments letter and will be sent to
each captain in the state, so that he
may take up the matter with his COM
pany at once and ascertain how many
men will be able to make the trip at
That time. In case no other full or
CARNATIONS can arrange to go, men
from different companies will probably
be formed into as many companies as
the number may make necessary.
The fact that the government has
intended to have joint camps for the
regular army and the volunteer forces,
mas been known for some time. 1t was
expected that Georgia would be as we'll
represented as any of the Eastern and
southern states. The present invita-
uon to take part in the joint maneu-
vers will hardly cause surprise, though

STORIES OF BATTLE AS
THEY REACHED LONDON.

London, April 14.-No actual news
has yet reached London beyond the
Russian kilograms, but dispatches
from Wei Hal Wei induce the conf
dent belief here that a naval engage
ment occurred off Port Arthur of Sc
we're character, and that later tele-
grams will show that the Russians
suffered more severe loss than is yet
admitted.
Nothing In the way of news has been
received here from the Japanese side,
but a rumor has reached Rome that
Vice Admiral Makaroff's squadron was
attacked by the whole Japanese fleet
concealed behind the Miaokaio Islands
(Miaotao IslandsO. and his
retreat was cut off and he was
forced to fight against odds. with the
result that all his ships were damaged,
while the Petropaviovsk was surround
ed by torpedo boats, struck by five
torpedoes and blown up.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Rear Admiral Molas is among those
killed aboard the Petropaylovsk.
No great attention is paid to these
rumors, but the universal opinion here
is that the official explanations of the
disaster are unsatisfactory.
The correspondent says:
Last night we ran into dirty. rainy
weather. At 4;30 o'clock this morning
amid the rain squalls we sighted a
squadron. AS the light increased 1t

Rralxeman's Foot Mashed on.
yaIdosta, Ca. April 1S.-A chapter of
accidents happened on the Georgia
Southern road at this place to-day.
Two of them were exactly alike and
one of them was fatal.
A white man, who was identified as
George Knox, an itinerant repairer of
clocks and sewing machines, was kill
cd bv the southbound passenger train
this evening as it was approaching
the depot Knox had been in the city
several days and left after dinner for
some Of the towns above here. He was
under the influence of whisky and when
about a mile from the old depot he
eat down by the track and pillowed
his head upon the rail. The train
dashed around the curve and crush
cd him to death before it could be
stopped.
Knox claimed this afternoon, in talk
ing to parties here, that he had quite
large sum of money sewed to the
lining of his coat, but an investiga-
ton by the coroner failed to find any
thing on his person except two letters
with the address to each torn off and
a card on which was printed r. D.
Banks, expert jeweler. 1t is under
stood that Knox has a brother living
in Greenville Fla. A diary. which he
had in his pocket, showed that he had
travelled all over Florida and through
out the South.
A negro named Gilbert Mathis took
a nap in the same position mile or
so below here and had his head crush
ed by a northbound passenger train.
The wheels knocked him from the
track, but he was living, with pros
poets of recovery, at last accounts.
In the yards here to-day, one of the
brakemen had his foot mashed off by
a car wheel as he was trying to swing
upon the car.

the enemy until his reinforcements APP
peared.
1t is thought possible that Vice Ad-
miral Togo planned an ambuscade by
sending in small squadron in the
hope of drawing out the Russian COM
mander to the open and then cutting
off his escape.
The Associated Press learns that the
location of six of the mines planted
by the Yenesei was unknown, the
charts having been lost when that
vessel went down. Probably it was
one of these mines that the Petro-
pavlovsk struck.
MakarOh a Grave Loss.
Vice Admiral Makaroff's death is
really a greater loss than would be that
Of several battleships. He was the
pride of the navy and enjoyed the
implicit confidence of his sovereign, as
we'll as of the officers and men of the
service. Speaking Of his death, officers
here all remarked upon the strange
fatality that he should lose his life on
a heavily -armored battleship, to which
he had a particular aversion. This
morning for the first time he raised
his flag on battleship. Previously he
had gone out on board the cruiser
Novik or the cruiser Askold 1t was
at the urgent request of his friends
that he did not risk his life in this
fashion and transferred his flag to the
Petropavlovsk.
1t is now an open secret that Vice
Admiral Makaroff was not anxious to
resign his command of Cronstadt to go
his leaving his wife and family, but
the Emperor held such a high opinion
of him that he declined to consider
other candidates although it was point
ed out that Rojestvensky, chief of
the general staff of the navy, who has
Just been appointed to command the
Baltic squadron, and who is now des-
tined to succeed Makaroff, as well as
others, were anxious TO distinguish
themselves.
The Emperor, in his summons to
Vice Admiral Makaroff, said My
choice has fallen on you and 1 will
not take a refusal" and so the Ad-
mil'al went to the Far East. The EN-
peror's sorrow is doubly keen on this
account.
By imperial command, a requiem
service will be celebrated at the Ad-
rniralty Church at noon tomorrow for
the Emperor's favorite admiral. To-
night the grief-stricken widow, ac-
cording to the Russian custom, had a
requiem service celebrated at her resi-
dence. She had been much worried
over the health of her husband. who
suffered from diabetes, reference to
which was made in recent telegram
from the Admiral, in which he said he
was compelled to disobey orders as to
taking regular sleep.
Rear Admiral Rojestvensky is a man
Of utterly different mould from Vice
Admiral Makaroff. He is a very able
sailor and man of talent and abili-
ty, but he is not so popular with the
tackles as was the dead commander
in-chief.
Makaroff is believed to have been in
the coming tower when the Petropav-
lovsk was blown UP. Grand Duke Cy-
ril probably owes his life to the fact
that he is a fine athlete and a splendid
swimmer
