TRooP 4 IN cAuP,
Cavalry Men Make Last Stage of over-
 land March.

Mantle, Conn.,, July S.--Men in kar- khi belonging to the various arms of the state service struggled into Camp Cole to-day to take up their duties in the service of the state for six days. The cavalry men were most in evil dence, as part of Troop A made the second part of its overland march dur ing the day, the men in this contingent going on duty in and about the camp. A squad of the Machine Gun Battery also arrived in camp and began camp life. Brigadier-G General Frost and most of his officers have sttld down to the routine of camp Tiff and have been kept busy with the details of the weeks s programme Quite number of changes are noted in camp, the best feature being the installation of bath houses for the. enlisted men at short distance from the quarters of each com mand. These probably will be liked by the men should the weather be hot, State camps of late years have been held during weeks in which there was considerable rainfull, and there is much speculation already whether the same bad luck will hold this year.

SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT
 REACHES SAN JUAN,P.R.
RUTSER CHARLESTON MAKES 4 RECORD RUN FROM NEW
 YORK.

Enters the Harbor at Considerable
 Speed.-Receives Salutes From Morro
 Castle and the Italian Cruiser Umbria
 Party Goes AshOre--Numbcr of
 Prominent Citizens Greet the Secre-
 tary in Governor Winthrop's office.
 San Juan, P. R., July 8.-The cruiser Charleston, with Secretary Root and party on board, arrived here at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
 The Charleston entered the harbor at considerable speed. She established a record run between New York and San Juan, making the distance in three days and nineteen hours.
 The trip was uneventful. The wealth CT murky.
 NAs the Charleston entered the har- bor she received salutes from Morro Castle and the Italian cruiser Umbria. Governor Winthrop and his secretary, IA. Fl. Frazer, went on board the cruis- CT, After the exchange of greetings the secretary's party came ashore in naval launches. They were greeted at the landing of the naval station by Captain Hohrer, commandant of the station and his staff. The marines were drawn up in honor of the secretary. After these ceremonies the naval au- thorities turned the party over to Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, of the Por- to Rico provisional regiment, an dhis staff, The regiment had been lined up outside the naval station. A large crowd had gathered here and had wait ed many hours to see Secretary Root, The houses in the vicinity were filled with spectators. The regiment started to march to the governors palace. Sec retary Root drove In the executive car riage, following the regiment. His family and the high military authori- ties came in other carriages. Upon arriving at the palace the troops and the insular police lined the sidewalk Approaches and presented arms when the distinguished visitors passed them, The secretary subsequently, reviewed the police from a balcony of the pal ace.
 A number of prominent citizens were awaiting the secretary in Governor Winthrop's office. After an exchange of greetings. Secretary Root spoke of the relief work he directed in Porto Rico as secretary of war after the hurricane of 1899. The talk then turned to cof- fee planting. Referring to the Pan American congress, Mr. Root expressed the opinion that the next congress would be held in the Argentine Repub- lie and added that if such congress were ever held in American territory, Porto Rico would be the most suitable place.
 After the departure of these visitors tea was served, members of the admin istration only being present.

AN EXPERTS OPINION
Cause of Recent Wreck in England Due
 to Speed of Train.

London, July 9.-The special commits sioner of the Railway Times, who is de- sired as an engineer of wide experience, commenting on the accident at Sails bury, said he believes the train was travelling at a speed incompatible with the radius of the curve and the super elevation of the outside rail- This caused the locomotive to travel for some time on the outer rails alone, and finally to turn over on it's side. The commissioner says the curve where the locomotive was derailed is short one, that portion having check rail being only two hundred feet long. He be- lieves the driver, being behind time
 was running at a rate of over fifty miles an hour at the time of the acci- dent. Careful calculation by the com missioner proves beyond doubt that a locomotive similar to the one drawing the wrecked train would run some time on Its outer wheels alone and finally turn over if travelling at the rate of forty miles an hour when rounding a curve of eight chains radius with a su- perelevation of less than four inches.

BLIND AND DFAF IN U. S.
some Interesting Statistics from Re-
 ports Compiled by Government.


 Washington, July S.-About ore per- son in every 1,2OO was blind and one in every $50 person was deaf in the United States in 1900, according to special census report on the blind and deaf in the United States in that year just ts- sued by the census officer.
 The inquiry was conducted under the direction of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell who determined the scope of the inves- tigation and wrote the text of the re- port on the deaf. The total number of blind in the United States in 1900 was 64, ,763, of whom 55,647 were totally blind and 29,11S partially blind. Of the total blind 37,054 were males and 27,70S fe- males. About one-tenth of the total number Of blind were born so. The number of blind per LOGO of population was greater among the negroes than among the whites, and greater among the foreign born whites than among the native whites. In about five per cent. of the cases of blindness reported the parents of the blind were cousins. Of the blind whose parents were so related S5 per cent. were congenitally blind, while among the blind whose parents were not cousins, the proportion con- genitally blind was only 68 per cent. Of the blind at least ten years of age, 20 per cent. were engaged in some gain full occupation. The percentage of per sons engaged in professional pursuits, trade and transportation and in manu- facturing and mechanical industries is larger among the totally blind than among the general population
