HOO Mile March.

Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The
sixth battery Of the United States ar
tillery, commanded by Capt. G.. w.
Gatchell, entered Fort Sam Houston
amid the cheers of the local garrison.
The battery broke the world s record
for long distance practice match Of ar
tillery, having covered the estimated
LOO miles from Fort Riley, Kas., to
Fort Sam Houston, In fifty-five days.
1t is asserted by army men here that
it is by far the longest practice march
ever made by artillery in time of
peace and that, no forced march In
time of war with the exception of Ma
poleon s retreat from Moscow COM
pares with it In distance. The artil-
lery men of the sixth battery were a
sorry appearing set of men when they
arrived here. Their clothing was in
tatters and so covered with mud and
dirt that the color Of the clothes could
not be distinguished. The men are
haggard and lean. Many of them
were scarcely able to travel. The
horses resembled moving skeletons.
The battery encountered severe rains
and floods In Indian Territory and
north Texas and a blizzard swept
down upon them just after they left
Austin. 1t continued during nearly
all of che remainder of the march to
Sam Antonio, about ninety miles. The
men walked nearly the whole distance
In order to keep warm. The battery
lost one man, Private Arthur Hall,
during the march.

Bishop Forbids Dancing.

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 14.-The
Catholic population Of this part Of the
State was stirred up over the letter
denouncing dancing, written to local
clergymen by Bishop William Stand
of the Fall River diocese and read in
the Catholic churches here yesterday.
The bishop said in part:
cit is forbidden to have dancing
ON Saturday nights and Sundays. Sat-
urday night dances lead to dissertation
Of the Lords Day; they have been
a source of misery and scandal in the
past; they must be stopped at once.
"While calling the attention Of
your people to the diocesan statute
forbidding them, you will denounce,
with apostolic freedom and ZEAL in
discriminate and lascivious dances so
common in our days.
"The world may sheer at such teach
ing and call our denunciations exag-
gerations and unreasonable exactions
without solid foundation. The silly
girl sees no harm in going to dances
until, like the unwary butterfly that
gets too near the flames, she has the
wings of her soul singed by the fame
of impure love and her innocence has
vanished forever, leaving her the dark
prospect Of ruined future, if not an
early grave Of shame.

New York, Jan. 14.-The Mutual
Gas Light Company has made enough
money selling gas at 33 cents a thous-

The Mutual, one of the old Wander

does not sell gas to the public, but con-
fines itself to manufacturing for the
Consolidated Gas Company. The Con-
solidated pays the Mutual 33 cents

the Mutual as to how much is deliv-

DAMAGE THREE AARsHIPs
coURT-MART1AL w1LIl DOUBT,
LESS BE HELD TO FIX BLAZE
FOR SERIES OF MIBEFS.

New York, Jan. 14-In connection
with the series of mishaps to the three
States battleships in the lower bay
at noon ON Sunday it was shown Sat
urday that the damage was not as Sc
rious as at first supposed. The Kear-
sage and Alabama, two Of the parti-
cipants, proceeded ON their way to
Hampton Roads, and so passed out Of
the supervision of the local authorities
but the Kentucky, the worst injured
of the three, remained behind. 1t was
the Kentucky which was rammed by
the Alabama.
The Kentucky was in dry dock at
the Navy Yard yesterday, and a care
full examination indicated that there
was nothing vital in the damage done.
The upper works are badly battered,
and 1T is possible that the hull is
strained, but it was said that
there was nothing exceptionally
serious and that within short time
the ship would be repaired and placed
IN commission.
1t is reported from Washington that
= court-martial will probably be held
to determine the blame. It is pointed
out that all of the vessels had been
overhauled just before leaving Temp
kinsville and found to be in first-class
shape. It was midday and bright and
clear. Gross carelessness is limited at.
Rear Admiral Davis, on board the
Alabama, has notified the Navy De-
partment by wireless that the repairs
to his vessel can be made at Norfolk
in two days. The squadron will prob
ably rendezvous there awaiting the
Alabama before proceeding to the
West Indies. 1t is believed that the
Secretary of the Navy will issue per-
emtory orders to have local pilots ON
board adj warships emerging from or
entering difficult harbors.

Alaska.
Rowley, with guide named Hughes

four days provisions with them, but
found the streams so swollen that
Hughes led them miles out Of the way
to find fording placse.
At one time they walked 10 miles
in the water of a marsh to find .
ford. Their food ran out and Row
ley was the first to give up. He had
had nothing to eat for 48 hours and
had been compelled to cut his frozen
socks from his feet. He tried to walk
on, but soon froze his feet and gave
up
Rowley told the others to go on,
saying he would live till they return
ed with relief. Hughes soon dropped
and the other two went on to the
coast. When a relief party returned
with food no trace could be found Of
either man.

Through an anonymous letter signed
A Wall Stree Clerk Attorney
General Hadley Of MISSOURI discov-
cred witness whose testimony, it is
declared, will probably do more to dis
close the secret workings Of the Stand
ard Oil Company than that Of all the
witnesses who have hitherto been ex-
amined in the inquiry before Commits
sioner Sanborn. This witness, Cork
hill, began his business career as John
D. Rockefeller S office boy and worked
his way up until he was confidential
man to w. E. Bemis, manager of the
Standards clearing house, where the
relations between the subsidiary COM
panies and the Standard corporation
are laid bare. Mr.. Corkhill continued
with the Standard until John D. Rock
efeller's retirement from active man
agement. The writer Of the letter to
the Attorney General said that he
feared he would lose his position if
his identity became known, but he
wished to help the investigation, and
so suggested Corkhill as a valuable
witness. Immediately upon it's re-
ceipt Mr.. Hadley turned the letter,
over to Rush Lake, Assistant Attor-
ney General of Missouri, and before
the day was over Mr.. Corkhill was To-
Gated.
