Alexander Brennan, Jr., 10 years old,
and Catherine Brennan, 0, children OF Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander Brennan, who live IN a
rear tenement at $500 West Twenty-fourth
street were killed in fire in the house early
this morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Brennan and
their youngest child. William, 8 years old,
were taken TO the New York Hospital I'M
conscious.
The fire broke out shortly after mid
night In the rooms Of the Brennans, on the
second floor in the rear, and cut on their
means OF leaving the floor by the stairway.
What caused the fire no one knows, MIR.
and Mrs. Brennan being unable to tell,
but an idea Of the effort made by the father
to save his family was gathered by those
Of the residents who left the building.
They saw Brennan first lower his wife
down from window with a clothes rope.
She lost her hold when half way down and
fell the remainder OF the distance, receiv-
ing severe injuries.
With the youngest son the father was
more fortunate, getting him to the ground
safely. He then tied one end OF the rope
inside the room and swarmed down 1t
himself.
He collapsed Immediately on reaching
the ground and was taken to the hospt al
unconscious from suffocation. Mrs. Bren-
nan and the rescued child were also over
come by smoke.
The fire was discovered by man named
Haggerty, who lives on the third floor. He
ran out Immediately on smelling the smoke
and notified Policeman Delman.
Rapping for help Delman soon had
with him Policemen Carey and Loeb,
Roundsman Pyle and Sergt. Gilmartn.
Together they went into the building and
Delrnan and Loeb found their way through
the smoke to the Brenna1s' rooms and
dragged out the bodies of the two dead
children.
The feat was accomplished at no little
risk. Ambulances quickly came from New
York and st. Vincent hospitals, but the sur
geons pronounced both children beyond
help. They were not burned. death being
due entirely to suff ocation.
Other inmates Of the building hadnarrow
escapes and all of them left hurriedly in
their nj ghtclothes. The firemen had little
trouble in extinguishing the flames.

Gov. Wright Tells Him His ships Must
Leave Promptly o. BE lnterued.

LONDON, June GA despatch to the
Daily Mol from Manila says that seven
japanese destroyers are reported to be
waiting of Corregidor Island.
MANILA, June 5.-Gov. Wright to-day re-
oeived instructions from Washington re-
garding the three Russian warships that
sought refuge here after the disastrous
battle In the Sea Of Japan.
Gov. Wright CONSTITUTES the instructions
as meaning that the vessels will be allowed
to repair their engines and tunnels, make
their huls intact and to take on coal and
provisions enough to enable them to reach
vladivostok, each vessel departing within
twenty-four hours after 1t is made sea-
worthy. The ships will not be allowed to
repair their armament, torpedo tubes or
turrets.
The Japanese Consul here has made no
protest against the Interpretation OF the
instructions by the authorities. The Rus
sian paymaster has drawn $50 900 to pay OF
the crews and to obtain provisions and lin
tied supply Of coal.
Gov. Wright, at Admiral Enquist's re-
quest, will not return the latter's call until
the Russian ships are cleaned and made
more presentable. Admiral Enquist APP
pears to be bewildered and heartbroken by
the disaster that has befallen the Russian
feet. He sits silent for hours.
Admiral Train will OF require the removal
OF the breechblocks from the Russian guns.
During visit to the Captain Of the Zemt-
chug the latter made excuses for using a
begrimed board as table, saying he had
borrowed 1t from the sailors because the
cabin and wardroom were Uttered with
COAL. He says that the battleship Boro-
dino was rapidly escaping northward
when shell struck her below the water
line and she went down In two minutes.
The Zemtchug steamed close to the
leading battleships during the battle. She
was detailed to repel torpedo boats. The
Captain adds that several torpedoes were
discharged at the Russian vessels and
seemed to be accurately approaching them,
but missed their marks. He attributes this
to the waves made by the warships. which
were moving at a twelve knot speed. He
believes that speed will prove complete
protection against torpedo attacks except
in the smoothest seas.
The wounded Russians are making good
progress toward recovery.
No Japanese warships have yet reached
the Philippines, but they are expected

STRONGEST FIGHTERS AFLOAT.
Battleships South Carolina and Michigan
to Have Unequaied battery Power.

10 Have unequaled battery Power.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Plans for the bat
tleships South Carolina and Michigan
which are being prepared by the Navy De-
partment, indicate that the two warships
will be the strongest fighting craft afloat
The plans will provide for battery Of r.
inch and lo-inch guns, differing on this score
from any other vessels OF the navy. No
battleship heretofore has been armed
with more than four guns Of the big caliber
The two ships will each carry at least eight
Of the lO-inch guns.
While not equaling In tonnage the new
British ba1leships OF the King Edward
and Africa class, the battery power Of the
South Carolina and Michigan will be enough
greater to make the proposed American ves-
sells stronger than the recent additions to
the British navy.
The bureau Of constructions Of the Navy
Department is considering the adding
of third screw to the new bsttleships.
The greatest advantage to be obtained by
this is that economy Is obtained in r7lising.
When moderate speed is desired, the central
engine alone need be used, while. il a high
rate Is required, the two wing engines,
or, II necessary, all three can be operated,
The three screw system has been used
with success on the Columbia and Minne-
apolis.

that the last six months Of the year would
yield a revenue Of over s2,5O0OOO For
the whole OF the city the amount would
probably lie over s3,aOO.OOO, which would
mean that this city alone will contribute
more than the revenue for the State which
Gov. Higgins looked for that IL, provided
business keeps up. To carry out the pro-
Visions of the bill Mr.. Ronner will have
the appointment OF about twenty officials
