cheers, which were mingled with the
whistles of the steamers and the dem>
onstration lasted as the steamer pro-
ceeded down the harbor. The city had
been gayly decorated for the occasion.
Lieutenant Commander Peary, in
speaking of the expedition shortly be-
fore his departure, showed firm con-
fidence that the outcome would be sue
cessful, in which case he intends to
return in September, 1906.

BENNINGTON READY TO GO

WILL TOW TO MARE ISLAND
Victims of Official Red Tape Now
Number Sixty-two-Admiral Good
rich at san Diego to Make
Investigation
BY Associated Press.


SAN DIEGO, July 26.-The gunboat
Bennington, termed floating coffin"
long before the lives of sixty-two sea-
men were sacrificed to the alleged re-
quirements of red tape, is again af1oat on
an even keel and will be towed to the
Mare Island navy yard to be thorough
ly examined and repaired. She will
be taken up by the Iris, escorted by the
powerful naval tug Fortune, but it is
now doubtful that she will get away
before the arrival of the Chicago.
Divers are making an examination of
her hull today.
Admiral Goodrich is expected to ar
rive on his flagship tonight or early
tomorrow, when an investigation of the
disaster will be begun. Much interest
centers on the question of what was the
steam pressure on boiler "B' at the
time of the explosion, it being under
stood that the safety valve had been
set to blow off at 14O pounds. Ten
minutes before the explosion the pres
sure was only 11S pounds and was
rising. The boiler had been cleaned
only short time before and filled with
fresh water
Hull Slightly Damaged
Only one boiler exploded. An exam
ination of the inside of the ship shows
that the hull has been damaged but
little, If any. The water which poured
in and caused the listing came through
the blow hole and pipes, broken by the
force of the explosion. The entry of
water is now under control and no diff
ficulty is anticipated in making the
vessel sufficiently seaworthy to stand
the trip to Mare Island.
A private dispatch from Oakland
says that the mother of e. B. Robin
son, one of the Bennington victims, has
lost her mind through grief.
AT o'clock this morning S. Tacate,
a Japanese attendant, expired, and at
$3.50 tonight H. A. Metius, pay clerk
passed away The case of Metius is
peculiar. He was able to walk up town
after the accident and was thought not
to have been badly injured. After his
wounds had been dressed he was out
in the street. Suddenly he collapsed
and had to be taken to the hospital on
stretcher. 1t is supposed that the shock
and a weak heart were the cause of
his death.

Count Douglas of Sweden Says Scam

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July &c.
Count L. Douglas, former minister of
foreign affairs for Sweden and Nor
province of Ostergoetland and leader
of the storsvenska or patriotic party,
whose name has been mentioned as the
next premier of Sweden, received the
correspondent of the Associated Press
today while awaiting the publication
of the report of the special meeting
appointed by the riksdag to deal with
the crisis between Sweden and Nor
way. Count Douglas said:
I'm Norway they say, and have
spread broadcast over the world, that
the storsvenska party is party of no.
bility, the objective of which is to give
the nobility Of Sweden the power of
persons know, mere nonsense and child
ishness. They also say that our OBJ
ject is to give Sweden some kind of
sovereignty over Norway. Such was
never our object, as we know Norway
has, in respect of self government,
been one of the front nations of the
world. But the fact is that long be-
fore the other parties perceived the
duplicity, some Norwegians, who were
working to cause a separation, were
necessarily searching for seeds of dis
sension, and we worked as hard to
counteract their efforts.
'In the first excitement after the Nor
wegian revolution, and after the Swed-
ish people recovered from the stunning
insult to it and it's king, many persons
came to the conclusion that 1t was
well as it was; If the Norwegians were
unwilling to live in peace with us and
share the apparent blessings of this
union of more than ninety years dura-
tion, let them go their way and we
would go ours. Now, when the first
excitement has passed, Sweden ought
to exert herself to the utmost not to
give up in the union, because in reali-
ty the differences are so insignificant
that they could easily be overcome.
NEW union must be offered byu us to
the Norwegians, founded on full liberty
equality and interior independence of
both countries, but with the principle
that the Scandinavian peninsula is
one against the world.
1--WE must therefore have. besides a
common king, common department
of foreign affairs, of commerce and
navigation, of war and of the navy.
and the peninsula must be joined in
a commercial union. All the places in
these four departments, from the high
est to the lowest, should be open to
either Swedes Of Norwegians. A union
parliament, meeting alternately in
Stockholm and Christiana, should have
control over the common interests. and
to this parliament the cabinet members
for the common departments should
be responsible"

NEW ORLEANS, July 26.-Six deaths
from yellow fever were recorded today
up to p. M, making a total of As. The
number of new cases reported yester-
day, but compiled today, is eleven, max
ing all told to date 165. There are now
nineteen foci of infection.
The organization of forces for fight
ing the spread Of the infection and for a
campaign of education and practical ap-
plication of the mosquito determination
plans. has been completed, and beside
100 men put on as extra to clean gut
ters by the city, $50 men are working as
part of the system of sanitation.
Citizens are being organized in wards,
and these ward clubs will form pre-
cincts and canvass will be made to
insure the screening of every cistern
and the closing of cesspools and water
ponds.
The business men have provided
the funds for this work, and as the
people are now aroused to the necessity
of action there will be no let up. Yield
ing to the sentiment of the community
the state board of health Monday
adopted new regulations for the fruit
ships, providing that they should re-
main six days at quarantine.
People Blame Fruit Ships
The people are convinced that the in
fection was brought by the fruit steam
ers and if it became necessary to make
the regulations SO stringent as to drive
them away in the present feeling, such
regulations would be enforced. While
handling the present emergency some
thought is being given to the future,
and on all sides there is sentiment that
nothing shall stand in the way of future
immunity from mosquito fever, as it
is called now
In view of the many quarantine COM
plications which have arisen, DIR.
Scouchon has called a conference here
next Sunday of the health officers of
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama to
discuss quarantine regulations and de-
wise a system by which travellers can
be admitted with certificates of the
marine hospital service. Surgeon
White, who is in charge of all the gov
ernment work, will be present and
participate.
The work of locating the detention
camps is progressing, though that has
been slower than at first anticipated.
The infection of the original focus
seems to be dying out, as fewer new
cases are being reported there which
is a hopeful sign, indicating that the
modern methods have been effective
The work now is to locate the new
foci and treat them in the same man
ner.
