MATTERS OF TALK IN
NAVY DEPARTMENT

Washington, d. c., March 1.-Two
billets in the navy department will be
vacated shortly. One is the place of
paymaster general, now filled by Rear
Admiral H. 7. B. Harris, retired, who
is expected TO ask to be relieved from
the duty in the next few months. Al
least, that seems to be the impression
among some twOlve or fifteen officers
of the pay corps who have made evil
dent their desire TO succeed Rear Ad-
miral Harris at the head of the bureau
of supplies and accounts. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, that they are doomed 10
disappointment, and that Paymaster
General Harris will remain on duty
for year or more. At all events, the
candidacy is we'll under way and mucn
interest is taken in the fight, which
promises 10 be full of spirit. The
other Yavancy will be that of the head
of the bureau of yards and docks,
the chief of which, Rear Admiral NJ.
7. Endicott of the corps of civil engi-
neers, retires on account of age in
November next. Early in April his
term as bureau chief terminates. As
there are no active candidates, and
as Rear Admiral Endicott has served
in a most useful capacity, he is likely
TO be reappointed and serve until mis-
retirement, and possibly for a longer
period. Rear Admiral Endicott in ad-
dition to being chief of the bureau. is
an Isthmian canal commissioner.

scription of last nights tornado. He
said:
Southern hotel, when the death-deal-
ing wind struck the city. Late in
the afternoon | noticed that dark
clouds lowered about the city and
that the humidity was very trying.
Shortly after 6:15 an ugly looking
cloud was seen bounding towards the
city. This was followed by a down
pour of rain, and then by rush and
noise which struck terror to the
stoutest hearts.
"The cyclone descended upon the
city near the depot, having come to-
wards the city from the southeast,
following the railroad. It was terri
bic. Among the first buildings to
go down was the electric light plant,
and the city was thrown into dark
ness. The people were panic-stricken,
and rushed into the streets.
The storms path was about two
blocks wide. Front street presented
"a devastated appearance, as few
houses are left standing. All build
ings on Twenty-second avenue, from
First to Second streets, are wrecked.
A large portion of the Grand avenue
hotel was torn away. The Y. NJ. c.
A. building. opposite, was wrecked.
The Old Sulphur hotel and the new
Union depot were destroyed.
1T is impossible to tell the amount
of damage, but | think it will be over
S1,O00,000. The loss of life is es-
timated at thirty-fve, many of whom
are negroes. To add terror to the
night, fire broke out in the stricken
district. 1t was known that men
were under the wrecked buildings.
Vandalism also became apparent, and
the local militia was called out. A
Gordon of armed men were thrown
about the wrecked district, and in this
manner the rescuers were able to
work. l do not know how many were
taken from the ruins, but some OF
them were dead and others were 50
