STORM ON THE LAKES
WAS WORST in YEARS

They could not reach the Algaria,
which went down about two miles
out.
Captain Motley thinks there were
lat least three men on the Algeria but
Noes not know whether that is the
actual number.
The schooner Algeria was of 1000
tons burden and was loaded with iron.
She generally carried a crew of sew
en- men. 1t is known that three or
four of these men came ashore. 1t
is believed that at least three went
down with the schooner.
The schooner Iron Queen sprung a
leak during the height of the storm,
rapidly filed with water and is slowly
sinking. The present storm is said
by lake vessel men to be the worst
during the month of May in many
years.

A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left OF and Postum Food

ROOSEVELT RECOMMENDS ADD.
TIoNAL GOVERNMENT AID.
s2,5OO,OOO is NEARLY GONE.
General Greedy Says That Much More
Money Will Be Needed for the Pur-
chase of Supplies, So An Addition
al Appropriation Is Asked.

Washington, May 10. - The presi-
dent transmitted to congress a letter
from Secretary Taft recommending
the appropriation of an additional
100000 to meet conditions at San
Francisco. The presidents letter of
follows:
Il herewith transmit letter from
the secretary of war in respect to the
situation as to the army supplies at
San Francisco. This letter contains
appendices showing the supplies
appendices showing the supplies
which have been transmitted to San
Francisco and their cost and sets
forth the necessity for an additional
100000, which l recommend be made
(, at once.
\ THEODORE ROOSEVELT
4 Secretary Taft's letter shows that
of the $2,500,O00 appropriated for the
relief of San Francisco $2,405,3S9 has
been expended, or contracts have
been made which will consume this
sum. The expenditures are divided
among various departments as fol-
lows:
Quartermaster's department ST.
1904; subsistence department,
S329,435; medical department, $304,-
$50; signal corps, $4,000; mileage,
$14,695.
Estimates were given of the cost of
returning troops from San Francisco
to the stations where they are on
duty and the letter also gives trans
portation charges on all supplies and
estimates for replacing supplies from
army posts for use in California.
Secretary Taft's letter concludes
with the following recommendations
General Greedy has requested
that 100000 in the hands of the chief
quartermaster and chief commissary
at San Francisco be expended for the
purchase of supplies. have author
lied this expenditure on the statement
by General Greedy that of the quarter
masters supplies already sent to San
Francisco more than 100000 will not
be used, but may be returned to the
general stores of the army. 1t is
quite probable, however, from General
Greely's statements that larger sum
will be needed in San Francisco for
the purpose of continuing the purchase
of supplies, and l therefore recon-
mend that congress be applied to
make an additional appropriation for
the same purpose as alerady ex-
pressed in the previous resolutions,
of 100000.
81 am advised that under General
Funston and General Greedy money
has been expended for the en-
ployment of labor necessary in the
distribution of supplies and in put
ting the tents and other shelter into
condition for use in sanitation of the
concentrated camps of the sufferers.
I therefore ask that the resolution
shall authorize payment for these SER
vices"

now drawn up in battle array in the
United Kingdom, addressed a large
audience recently.
The premier spoke at Dumferline.
Scotland, making fiscal reform his
battle cry. In answering a question
he said he did not favor a separate in
dependent legislature for Ireland. but
intimated that that country should
have a legislature subordinate to the
imperial parliament.
Mr.. Balfour, talking to a sympathet-
ic audience at Queens hall, London,
asked: "Will you have fiscal reform
or home rule, for this is the true
issue of the campaign .
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said
that the liberals would fight protec-

paign, as they did WINE in opposition.
while the former premier said that fis-
cal reforms wOul~ be the first great
question with which the unionist party
would have to deal whenever it was
returned to power, because it was a
question in which the welfare of the

executive responsible directly to an

separation, which he admitted would
