Poor Business Methods.
In checking up the vouchers spent
several days in the Auditors office yeri-
flying accounts. in this checking there
arc shown some differences which are
accounted for from the fact that vouch-
ers issued from the Engineer Office In
December arc not paid until January, ana
frequently amounts arc charged TO the
Engineer by the Auditor which do not
come from the Engineers office. These
differences are embodied In my report
showing adjustment OF accounts with
Auditor-Siving balance per Auditor and
balance as shown by Engineers records.
General Carelessness Shown.
In the matter OF vouchers will say, In
checking up | found a great many In
stances where vouchers were not proper
ly numbered. In other cases they We're not
numbered at ALL again there would be
one number on the face and another num-
Der on tho back; IN other cases not num-
bered consccutlvely. While this is not
of great moment I mention the matter, as
II Is In line with the general careles5ncss
of the balance Of the work. Respectfully

EXPLAINS OUTBREAK
Mistake Transmitting Orders Re-
suited In Russian MutinY,

VICTORIA. b. c, March 2.-The
steamer fremont. which arrived this
morning from Manila and the Orient,
brought among her passengers Capt,
Schonwendt, representing the owners of
the wrecked steamer Mariechcn, he hay
inS come from Nladivostok to go TO the
wreck in Alaskan waters.
Capt Schonwendt says the recent out
break among the Russian troops at
Vladivostok was due TO a blunder In
transmitting an order from st. Peters
burg The order was that the men were
to be returned gradually. all being home
within eight months. AS transmitted the
order read that the troops would be re-
turned after eight more months service.
This caused murmuring, and after the
looting OF some drinking houses, rebellion
resulted
Hundreds Killed.
About seven or eight hundred were
killed when resisting the Cossacks
brought TO Nlndiyostok TO quell the rebel
lion. The funeral OF the soldiers killed
by machine guns at the mmandant S
house was attended by thousands OF sol.
dicrs, sailors and civilians. carrying red
flags and singing revolutionary songs
The cofins were covered with wreaths
reading: Ito the memory OF the martyrs
and shame OF their assassins

LUNATIc ON THE RAMPAGE
Charles HARDWOOD, n Former IeorIs
UI0 Policeman, Develops IA
Dangerous Mania.

Peoria. ILL.,. Jan. 29.-Charles Har-
wood, former policeman, now violently
insane, entered the police headquarters
Sunday afternoon, and at the point Of q
revolver held up the chief and seven
officers for Is minutes while he vented
his insane wrath in a deluge Of curses.
After threatening 10 shoot the entire
crowd and falling to shoot because q
snapped cartridge did not discharge, he
backed out of the station and made his
escape.
Within an hour after the holdup Of
the station, HaTwood appeared near his
home on Bigelow street and entered the
residence Of a Mrs. Montgomery, whom
he knocked down with the butt Of his
gun. Taking a shotgun and revolver
from the house he barricaded himself In
his own residence a few doors farther
on, and at ten o'clock Sunday night was
standing Oft a squad of police who sur
rounded the house. Saturday night he
compelled his wife to disrobe and then
drove her into the street, and Sunday
morning he made an attempt on the life
of his children. Chief Kennedy and all
Of his officers held up in the station
were unarmed and at the mercy Of their
assailant.

GEN. JOSEPH WHEELER DEAD
THE OLD VETERAN OF TWO
WARS has PASSED AWAY.
He Won Fame as n Cavalry Leader
In the Confederate Army and in
the War with Spain.

New York, Jan 26.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, the famous confederate cav
airy leader and a brlgadier general Of
the United States army since the war
with Spain, died at 5:35 o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith, in
Brooklyn.
The veteran of two wars was GO
years of age, but in spite of his age,
there was hope until Wednesday of
his recovery from the attack of pneu.
monia which caused his death.
Gen. Wheeler was taken I'll six days
ago at his sisters home, where he has
been living recently. He contracted
severe cold, which developed into
pleurisy and pneumonia. From the
first his age told against him, but the
family did not give up hope until
Wednesday night, when the disease
was found to have affected both
lungs.
Gen. Wheeler's immediate relatives
were all with him. The family were
summoned to the bedside of the pa
tlent at midnight, when the doctors
In consultation concluded that the end
was but matter of hours. The gen
eral was then awake and conscious
and his mind was apparently active.
He seemed to know that death Was ap-
preaching and, though too weak to
speak, he succeeded in giving signs of
recognition and encouragement to his
children.
Later the general sank into a peace
full slumber, and at the request of the
doctors the family quietly withdrew
from the bedside. He fingered until
Thursday evening and passed away
quietly.

MARVELLOUS SPEED RECORD
Two Miles Covered in FIfty-EIRht
and FOur-Fifths Seconds Dy
an Automobile.

Ormond-Daytona Beach, Fla, Jan. 80.
Victor Demogeot, Of France, was
crowned speed king Of the world Mon
day afternoon, on the Daytona sands,
after driving his gasoline car two miles
in the marvellous time of So As seconds.
Demogeot maintained a speed of 1913
miles an hour to mako this record.
On the first trial Marriott (American)
went first, but the best he could do was
one minute and three seconds. Demo-
geot brought the crowd to it's feet by
reducing the time to one minute 2-5
Seconds. Referee Morrill, decided TO
give each car trial to see if the time
coould be brought within the minute.
Marriott came first again, and this time
faster. He made the two miles in So 3-5
seconds. 1t seemed impossible that the
clumsy looking French car should re-
duce this, but the Florida Times-Union
81 900 trophy was lost to America a few
minutes later when Demogeot Numbered
over the two mile course in IS As sec
onds, the fastest speed ever attained by
an automobile Demogeot was crowned
with lau&l wreath by Miss Mary Sim
rail-, of Ormond, Fla, while several
thousand persons cheered. An automo-
bile parade followed, and this ended the
tournament.

THE WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
The Mild, Open Winter Having Its
Natural Eject on Trade and
IdustrInI Operations.

New York, Jan. 27.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Barring a touch Of cold weather in
the west, the season still retains its
previous appearance Of mild open win
ter, with natural effects upon retail
trade, industrial operations in general
and prices Of many commodities, which
tend downward. Perhaps the most no
table feature at present is the continued
activity in building, which has practi-
cally gone on without a break, and
which is making new records in prices
of lumber and in demand for other ma
terials. Final distribution is still being
stimulated by forced sales at retail, and
few lines Of wholesale business, no
tably heavy clothing and rubber goods,
reflect unreadiness to buy for next sea-
sons wants. AS to spring trade only
optimistic reports are current. Ship
ments are being called for and made
freely, open weather favoring the rail-
ways as rarely before to handle the
large business Offering.

GOVERNMENTS HANDICAP
Alleged Methods of the Packing In
teFests to Influence Public
Opinion.

Washington, Jan. 27.-By authority
of President Roosevelt, correspondence
was made public at the White House,
Friday evening" relating to methods al
legged to have been employed by attor-
neys for the beef packers who are under
indictment at Chicago to influence pub
lie opinion in behalf of the packers.
The documents consist of communi-
cation made to Attorney-General Moody
by United States District Attorney Nor
rison, of Chicago, setting out certain al
legged facts regarding the payment Of a
sum of money to Chicago newspaper
reporter by one of the attorneys for
the beef packers; letter from the at
torney general to the president, trans
hitting Mr.. Morrison's report, express
ing the opinion that no way existed un-
der the law by which the alleged Of
feTse could be punished; and a letter
from the president to the attorney gen.
eral directing the publication of the
correspondence, in order that the public
might be informed Of one situation, at
least, which the government has to meet
in prosecuting the case against the
packers.
