Important Reforms Planned.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-The
department of commerce and labor Is
planning extensive reforms and COM
plete reorganization of the steamboat
inspection service, with possibly a re-
inspection of number of vessels and
a wedding out of the personnel of the
service. Ever since the General Slocum
disaster and the investigation which
followed Assistant Secretary Lawrence
O, Murray has been devoting time and
thought to this subject, and 1t is re-
ported on good authority that Secre-
tary Metcalf has finally given his con-
sent to certain reforms which Mr.. MUIR
ray seeks to introduce. No official
announcement has yet been made, but
it is expected within few days.

TROUBLE BEING EXPERIENCED
IN PLANS FOR NEW OFFICE
BUILDING,
Trying to Keep Improvements to Sen
ate Chamber at Washington
Within the Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-The
commission in charge of the new office
building which is to be erected for the
senate, met here today, to consider the
changes in the plans made necessary to
bring the cost of the building within
the limits of the appropriation for it.
The situation concerning the building
is rather pecu'iar. If the most expel-
sive building materials be used, the
great structure cannot be built for the
sum of $2,250, 900 appropriated for the
purpose. Now, the original plans pro-
vided that the east section of the build
ing should be left out. But this would
necessitate the closing up of the build
ing in the future, which would cause
considerable additional expense. 1t
would be a makeshift, however, which
would make it possible to use some
cheaper building stone for the walls of
the court and thus keep down the ex-
penses. The architects will submit a
number of plans and propositions so
changing the original plans, as to bring
the cost of the structure within the
limits of the appropriation.

The following day Springer came int

Pittsburg Will Lose Land Through
Litigation.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 6.-There is
serious trouble between Henry Pnipps.
the steel magnate and the tax officials
of Allegheny and the result will un-
doubtedly be that the city will lose the
fine playground which Mr.. Phipps has

Mr.. Phipps turned over the play
ground to the city ne did not deed the

that it was to be used for its present
purpose as long as the city wanted IT.
The property was not assessed by the
county, but this year the Allegheny
CITY officials assessed it and sent tax
bill amounting to s2,155.7S to MI.

Then Mr.. Phipps payed the taxes, but

TO TEACH CLASS.
Oil Kings Son Clashes With Father as
to Charitable Methods.

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Jonn D. Rock
efeller, Jr., will be present at the OPEN
ing of his Bible class next Sunday. The
rumors of his retirement from the
Standard Oil company are unfounded.
The stories of rupture between
father and son which have been talked
of by members of his Bible class are
based on the fact that Mr.. Rockefeller
has not visited his father since last
spring, though he has been in constant
communication with him.
A careful investigation, however,
does not bear out the fact that father
ana son have had any disagreement be-
yond occasionally little friendly argu-
ments relative to the wise distribution
of charitable bequests.
When young Mr. Rockefeller was in
Paris last spring, it is said, he was
very much impressed by the benevo-
lent bequests of Baron Rothsctild for
improved dwellings, for the poor and he
went to New York with the idea strong
in his mind that his fathers millions
could not be put to better use than to
found a fund which would insure tene-
ment house reform for New York They
discussed the matter often and rumor
had it in the Bible class that the young
man mad prevailed upon his father to
make a large contribution at some
time for improved tenement house
buildings on the outskirts of New York
for the poor.

NO HOPE FOR ST. PAUL
POUNDING TO PIECES
s+e.n,er on Rocks Near Eureka Will
Be Total Loss-Passengers
Rescued.

PETROLIA, Calf, Oct. 4.-Up to
noon today there has been no change In
the position of the steamship st. Paul,
which went ashore early yesterday
morning near Point Gorda. The ves-
sell is hard and fast on the rocks
and all efforts to pull her off have
been abandoned. In the opinion OF ves-
sci men who have seen the wreck, the
St Paul will be a total loss. She lies
with her stern $50 yards from shore.
At noon the steamer Pomona arrived
from the scene of the wreck. She
brought three boat loads of the st.
paurs passengers and the crew rescued
from the fury of the sea, which now
threatens to tear into fragments what
is left of the stranded steamer. The
Pomona brought 25 passengers and 26
members of the crew. The crew re-
norts the st. Paul still surrounded by
a dense fog and that the vessel is
rounding heavily in the sea and taking
water fast. All join in the belief that
the vessel is doomed to be total
wreck.

MILWAUKEE, GRAFT.
Grand Jury Indicts President of Coun'
Gil, Mayor Rose Escapes.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 6.-The greatest
surprise Of all the four months in
which the grand jury mas been in ses-
sion, was the final report tonight,
when Cornelius Corcoran, president of
the common council, Fred Schultz. a
newspaper reporter, eX-Alderman
Murphy and Fred Klode, an officer of a
furniture company were indicted on a
total of twenty-four indictments.
Corcoran is indicted on twenty
counts, Murphy two and the others one
each.
Mayor Rose, who defied the grand
jury to find basis for an indictment
against MIN, escaped Indictment en-
tirely. SO did City Attorney Runge.
There had been little question that
the grand jury would indict two of the
La Folette leaders who were promi-
nent in securing the calling of a grand
Jury, but instead. Alderman Murphy,
who gave positive evidence that these
men had given him bribes to secure
special favors from the council, was
himself indicted, while the La Toilette
men were allowed to go free.
Corcoran's indictments are chiefly
On the charges Of selling feed to the
city while he was a member of the city
council. Schultz is indicted for alleged
bribery in connection with the street
railway franchise passed six years
ago Klode is indicted for bribery, IN Sc
curing a contract for the sale OF soOoU
worth of furniture to the county; MUIR
nnv is indicted for perjury in his tes-
timony against the La Follette men
who escaped indictment.

CHANGE MOTIVE POWER.
N. ", N. H., G. n. Railroad to Use
Electricity.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The New
York, New Haven & Hartford, R. R. is
making preparations for changing the
motive power on some or all of its
lines from steam to electricity. An
order for twenty-five electric 1ocomo-
tives has been placed with the West
inghouse Electric and Machine COM
pany by the railroad company. These
locomotives will be driven by an alter
mating current, single Phase, which Is
said to be the most economical appli-
cation of electrical power yet made.
Each locomotive is to weight seventy
eight tons, and is to be equipped with
four motors, each of 400 horsepower,
making a total of 1900 horsepower for
each locomotive. This is about 600
horsepower greater than that of steam
locomotives in present use.
The motors will be able to maintain
a speed of twenty-six miles an nour IN
local service, reaching maximum
speed of fOrty-five miles an nour be-
tween stations, and hauling 200 tons.
In express service a speed of sixty to
seventy miles an hour can be MAIN
tanned with a train weighing 25O tons.
For heavier loads two or more loco
motives can be coupled together, and
operated from the front cab by one
engineer.
