TO MASS FLEETS
ON THE pacific
BUREAU OF NAVIGATION PLANS
CONCENTRATION OF WAR
SHIPS FOR EMERGENCY.
Grade of Vice Admiral Will Be Re-
vived If Recommendation of Chief
Converse Is Adopted-Navy Wants
Cash for Amusemenrs.

Washington, Dec. 1-Completed
plans for the organization of the fight
ing vessels of the navy in two fleets
for service on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States in such
manner that the whole force may be
readily modified in cases of emerg-
ency, is announced by Rear Admiral
Converse, chief of he bureau of navi-
cation of the navy department, in
his annual report. Admiral Converse
says that owing to the United States
responsibilities in the Philippines and
the far east generally an adequate
naval force is needed in the Pacific
ocean.
To Merge Fleets.
BY January 1 it is expected the
Asiatic fleet and the Pacific squadron
will be merged into one Pacific fleet
under the supreme command of a flag
officer of the highest rank, in the same
manner as the Atlantic fleet is now or
ganized.
The assignment of the ships of the
battle line to Atlantic waters and of
cruisers and gunboats to Pacific wa
tiers is in accordance with present re-
quirements.
The grade of vice admiral will be
revived if the navy department adopts
the recommendation made by Admiral
Converse. He says at least two vice
admirals should be created for the
commanders of the Atlantic and Asiat-
80
them rear admirals and large num-
Der of ships.
Entertainments Cost Much.
Congress will be asked by the bu-
reau of navigation to make an appro-
priation for official entertainments on
board naval vessels when sent to for
eign shores. 1t will be argued that
in cultivating friendly and diplomatic
relations in foreign countries naval
officers are compelled to spend a
large part of their own pay for en-
tertainments. BY other countries
ample provision is made for such ex-
penSeS.
matter of consideration whether it
would not add to the efficiency of the
service if marines were withdrawn
from all battleships. The idea of the
bureau is that the bluejackets are
drawn from the same class as the
marines, and are able to perform eff
GENTLY the services now assigned to
the latter. It is said that the pres
ence of marines suggests to the en-
listed men of the navy that the for
mer are those for police duty and
their presence frequently is resented.

OTTO YOUNG is DEAD.
One Of Chicago's Leading Capitalists
Passes Away.

Chicago, Dec. lotto Young, 81
years old, one of Chicagos leading
capitalists and landowners, died at
1.3O o'clock Friday afternoon at his
country home at Lake Geneva.
Not since the death of Marshall
Field almost year ago has there
come such shock to the Chicago
business and financial world as this
unexpected news caused. It now de-
velops, however, that Mr.. Young had
suffered with tuberculosis of the lungs
for five years. He was obliged to re-
lease his active hold on affairs five
weeks ago, but it was not thought
the attack would prove fatal He was
afflicted with diabetes also.
Mr.. Young's fortune is estimated at
$17,O00,000. His holdings of central
business property in Chicago were ex-
ceeded only by those of Marshall Field
and the Levi z. Letter estates Up to
the time of his death he had been
planning the erection of a $4,000, 900
hotel in Michigan avenue The idea
had become his hobby and he intend
ed it to be the finest hotel in the
world. It is believed he left some
provision in his will for the carrying
out of the project.

THREE BANKS CLOSE up
INSTITUTIONS IN M'DONOUGH
COUNTY,, ILL., SUSPEND.
All Conducted by c. v. Chandler
Notices Posted Say They Are
Short of Ready Cash.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 1-Three banking
institutions in McDonough county,
conducted by G.. " Chandler, of Ma
comb, closed their doors Friday.
Notices to the effect that the banks
were short of ready cash were posted
on the doors of all the banks Friday
morning. The decision to close was
reached Thursday upon an examina-
ton OF the books by Mr.. Chandler
himself
The banks are: The Bank of Ma
comb, conducted by C. " Chandler
& Co., having a deposit of $450,OO0
and capitalized at $4,000; the Chan
dler & lines bank at Colchester, CAPT
talized at $4,000, having a deposit of
100000, and the Chandler & Smith
bank of Bardolph, capitalized at
$4,000, with $4,000 in deposits.
The money of the depositors in all
three banks has been invested through
Mr. Chandler, the senior member of
the private banking firm in McDon-
ough county real estate, and the i'm
mediate cause of suspension of the
three institutions is given as a lack of
ready cash. The Macomb bank stood
good for the payment of the bonds
of the Macomb and Western Illinois
Electric railway, and when the bond
holders made a demand for their
money they absorbed all the ready
cash of the three institutions
The following notice appeared on
the doors of all three banks, signed
by c. V. Chandler and the other mem
bers of the firms in the respective
towns:
This bank is closed pending nego-
tiations subject to the conversion of
the property into ready cash. The
bank is solvent and all depositors will
be paid in full. There is ample prop
erty to meet all obligations and all
that is necessary is a reasonable
amount of time to convert the hold
ings into money"

A Potent Cause of Failure.

Poverty and failure are self-invited.
The disaster people dread often comes to
them. Worry and anxiety enfeeble
their force of mind and so blunt their
creative and productive faculties that
they are unable to exercise them prop
erly Fear of failure, or lack of faith
in one s ability, is one of the most po-
tent causes of failure. Many people of
splendid powers have attained only
mediocre success, and some are total
failures, because they set bounds to
their achievement, beyond which they
did not allow themselves to think that
they could pass. They put limitations
to their ability; they cast stumbling
blocks in their way, by aiming only at
mediocrity or predicting failure for
themselves, talking their wares down
instead of up, disparaging their bust
ness and belittling their powers.-Suc-
cess.

Stop and Think,

Words spoken in excitement are dan
gerous; words written at such time
are far more so. No letter ever writ
ten under pressure of antagonized
feeling is just what it ought to be. No
man can afford to run the heavy risk
that is involved in writing letter at
such time. Things are distorted, moth
ing is seen in its true perspective, when
feeling runs high because Of another s
mistake or opposition, or seeming un-
fairness or wrong. The danger that ac-
companies righteous indignation is
nothing to be ashamed of; but to fail
to recognize this danger is downright
folly. The sharp word or evident
holiness of feeling that is put down Sin
black and white" in letter rankles
and remains and estranges to an extent
that is so well known as to need no
demonstration. Think twice before
you speak, and wait over night before
you WRITES. s. Times.
