TO MAKE A LONG CRUISE
FLEET OF TORPEDO BOATS GOING
TO THE PHILIPPINES.

The Navy Department has been notified
that the little fleet of torpedo boats which
has been gathered at Norfolk for the pur-
pose OF being sent to the Philippines has
been completed so far as the constructors
and engineers are concerned, and the boats
are now to be put through course OF trials
that will discover any weakness or faults
so that these may be corrected on the
home station at minimum expense. These
trials will probably occupy at least four
months, so it will be late in the year be-
fore the feet can be ready to start on It's
long voyage. Notwithstanding the belief to
the contrary at Norfolk, there has been no
change in the plans for the dispatch of
these boats to reinforce the half dozen tor
pedo craft now in Philippine waters 1t
was the intention OF the naval general
board that the Asiatic station should have
two squadrons of torpedo craft. In order
10 make 1t correspond with the Atlantic
station and the delay In carrying out that
purpose is explained at the. Navy Depart
ment by the statement that not only have
the boats been unfinished up to this date.
but owing to the uncertainty as to the
transfer Of the navy yard from Cavite to
Olongapo and the lack of slip room for the
boats at the former place. 1t would not
have been possible to accommodate them
on the eastern station DeIore the end OF
the present year.
There are also some problems to be
solved in the voyage of these little boats
across the four seas, upon which the fa-
nous cruise outward of Commander Chand-
ler's fleet throws no light. That fleet was
made up of torpedo boat destroyers; much
larger boats than these about to be sent
out, and consequently with much greater
steaming radius. the most important con-
sideration on such a voyage. The boats of
the new feet are all simple torpedo boats,
the Bagley. Bailey, Barney. Bfddle, Tingey,
Thornton and Shubrick averaging In dis
placement only about 1G5 tons. or little
more than a third of the destroyers. So it
is believed that it may be necessary to as
sIst the little boats by towing them when
their coal supply runs low and the weather
is such that they cannot be coaled from
the conveying ship, and experiments will
be made before the fleet sails to determine
the ability of the conveying ship to handle
the boats in towing line After the ex-
perience of the first fleet and of Come
niander Hosley with the drydock Dewey,
tie naval officers believe that they can ac-
complish almost anything in that direc-
ton, but they want to make the trials
alongshore first.

THE INDIAN BILL.
Adoption of the Conference Report
by the Senate

The Senate adopted the conference report
on the indian appropriation bill yesterday
AFTERNOON after a lively discussion concern
ing some of its features. On the acceptance
OF the report the vote was 80 to 49,
Senator Simmons took exception to the
provision looking to the settlement OF the
claim for $4,000 of former United States
senator Marion Butler and Josiah M. Vale
In connection with the opening of the Col
vile Indian reservation In the state OF
washington. He expressed the opinion
That the sum was exorbitant and said that
only a part of the claim should be paid
Later. in the course of his remarks, Mr..
Simmons took the position that no legal
service had been rendered. He, therefore.
concluded that the claim was for lobbying
alone. and said Congress should place its
seal OF condemnation on that immoral and
Illegal practice-a practice which he thought
should be brought to the attention of Dis
trict attorneys.
Senator La Toilette attacked the confer
ence amendment concerning the enrolment
of the Choctaw Indians, which. he said
would do an injustice to 20O0 persons. He
cited a case In which one firm of LAWYERS
In Indian Territory had been paid $50 co
for services to the Indians.
Another case in which the cornfield law
yer failed to attend to business" remarked
Senator Spooner. glancing mischieyously at
Senator TilIman. who replied: .aThe corn
field lawyer can't attend to all the stealing:

of Judge William w. Morrow, Thomas Ma
gee, Franklin ]. Lane, DR.. Edward Devfne
of the Red Cross, w. j. Bartnett and +.
NJ. Willis They were Immediately visited
by various members of the California dele
cation In Congress and their plans, which
will be presented to Congress and to the
Secretary of the Treasury, were talked over
informally. This morning there was a
meeting with the entire California delega-
ton in the Senate and House, where the
various measures for relief which have been
suggested were considered.
The city of San Francisco has $14 00O,00O
uniSsued 3h per cent bonds. 1t is proposed
by the visiting committee that they be
made receivable for national bank depos-
It's by the general government, In which
case they can be sold by the city at par
Authority is vested in the Secretary of the
Treasury to accept municipal securities un-
der certain conditions as national bank de-
posits, and the committee will confer with
Secretary Shaw with view to having these
unssued bonds made receivable for such
deposits. If this plan Is successful the
money realized from the sale of the bonds
WILL Judge Morrow said, be used to start
In motion the rehabilitation of the city gov
ernment, viz, the construction of munich
necessary buildings.
The other proposition which the commit
tee has in view and which will require the
action of Congress is the loan of $40 100000
to the National Red Cross Society for use
in loaning to those persons whose homes
have been destroyed, for the purpose of re-
constructing them. Judge Morrow said
there are over 10000 people In San Fran
cisco living in tents or temporary struc-
lures and 100000 in adjoining towns, VINO
are being temporarily provided for Num-
bers of them own lots in the city of San
Francisco. but having lost everything in
the earthquake and the fire following, have
not cent to rebuild. II Is proposed to loan
to such persons moneys for that purpose
at a small rate of interest, the entire loan
to be repaid to the national government
The loan proposition. Judge Morrow said,
is suggestion of the fnanciers of the
city and will be urged because the savings
banks have. as rule, loaned all their
available funds. 1t is desirable he said,
that the class of citizens referred to shall
remain in San Francisco and not drift away
to other cities. and If they are to do SO
they must be given some assistance with
which TO reconstruct their homes.

FOUR VICTIMS OF BIG FIRE.
Two Firemen Injured in Rescue Work
In New York.

Four persons were killed and two fire.
men seriously injured in a daylight f1re
that swept big tenement In New York
city yesterday afternoon. Scores of thrill
ing rescues took place, but as a fire spec
tacle It amounted to nothing. Death and
destruction were worked In a scant twen-
ty minutes and the fremen had the flames
conquered as soon as they could stretch
their hose.
The blaze started in the apartment Of
Angelo Pallidino. a real estate dealer who
lives on the first floor.
Policemen Bauchmann, Kennedy and
sackett fought their way to the upper
floors and directed the tenants to the fire
to their heels and they carried out several
women and children who had been cut off
and overpowered by smoke.
The policemen believed that the house
had been cleared, but as they leaned over
the airshaft between two tenements they
heard cry for help, and saw woman
leaning from a window on the third floor
OF the burning building, and attempting,
apparently, to throw something across the
airshaft to the window on the other sde
Calling to the woman to hold out one
more minute the policemen hurried to the
third floor, and prepared to make a rescue
across the shaft.
1t was a wee baby boy about eighteen
months old that the woman held in her
arms, and she held it out with so much
appeal in her face that the policemen
stopped trying to form their bridge across
the chasm. and Sackett, held by his COM
panions, swung out over the windowsill
IN an attempt to reach the child. Just as
ne held up his arms, gush of smoke and
names burst from the window in which
the woman was standing. AS she reeled
back unconscious, the child slipped from
her grasp, and fell to the bottom of tho
airshaft. three stories below.
Meanwhile, the fremen had answered
the alarm, and Vincent CahiIl, of Truck I3
hads swarmed up the fire escape in answer
to the cries of the crowd that there were
still several people In the burning build
Ing. A burst of smoke and flame struck
Cah1li fuu In the face as he leaned for
ward to enter the winaow. He lost con-
sciousness and fell to the pavement. His
skull was fractured, and an arm and leg
broken. James Lhuther, of engine thirty
six, was struck by the same blast Of flame,
while climbing ladder and he tumbled-
into the street. He had several ribs frac-
tured, and Was injured internally. Both
men were hurried to the Harlem Hospital

fed at the morgue as Rebecca Rabinowitz.

seventeen years. and Pasqua1e, aged nine
teen. on suspicion or setting fire to their
apartment. which. when the flre was dis

st. Joe Delegation Heard.

The consideration of the amendment was
interrupted during the afternoon session OF
the committee that delegation representing
the business interests of st. Joseph, Mo-.
might be heard in presenting their demand
for speedy legislative action.
The delegation was headed by Louis T.
Golden, publisher; Judge r. E. Calver,
Mayor w. E. Sprot, F. A. King, banker,
and H. G. Krake, secretary of the business
mems league. Mr.. Golden, as chairman OF
the committee, declared the situation at st.
Joseph to be serious under the existing
conditions. He said there were three pack
ing houses there doing a yearly business
of over $50 0O0, 900; that the criticism of bad
sanitary conditions did not apply to the
modern plants at ST. Joseph; that the sani-
tary regulations were strictly enforced and
the most scientific appliances used.
The business was being injured and the
injury was increasing daily.
The agricultural committee questioned
the delegat ton closely on the problem as to
who should bear the cost of inspection The
answer was that as the packers of st. Jo-
seph were not transgressors against sani-
tary rules it seemed hardly fair that an
additional tax should be imposed on them,
particularly in the face of great injury to
their business done by the published reports
discrediting the American meat product.
The delegation was heard by the agricul-
tural committee in executive session, and
port of a local committee of St. Joseph
citizens, who had made recent and care
full investigation of the packing houses in
that city. After the hearing the committee
resumed consideration of the Beveridge
amendment.

The House committee on agriculture was
locked in It's room with the Beveridge beef
inspection amendment for six hours yes
terday. When the session ended at $40
o'clock in the afternoon members said they
had agreed to observe strict secrecy regard
ing what had been done. There was gen.
eral statement. however. that nothing had
been done finally" The Beveridge amend
ment was taken as the basis OF action. and
the greater part of 1t was gone over tenta-
lively. 1t is understood the committee found
itself generally in favor of striking from
the BeveridRe amendment the requirement
that the labels on the cans containing pre-
pared meat products shall bear the date of
manufacture.
Federal Jurisdiction.
The problem Of federal Jurisdiction to en-
force sanitary regulations on which the
question of constitutionality was raised has
a tentative solution at least In a proposition
to have all labels for every character of
meat product. canned and otherwise, issued
by the Secretary and attached to the product
only after such sanitary regulations as the
Secretary shall prescribe have been COM
piled with and approval given by govern
ment inspectors. These government labels
are to then be the passport OF meat prod
ucts into interstate and foreign trade, and
common carriers are to be forbidden to ac-
cept for shipment consignments of goods
without official government labels. This
provision. like all others, is only in the ten
tative stage.
The question of who shall bear the cost
of the INSPECTION has not yet been reached
In the consideration of the amendment. Sew
eral notifications are said to have been rec
commended regarding the discretionary au-
thority to be given the Secretary under the
