Like the Minnesota, the Kentucky

Crowds of sight-seers from all parts

Norfolk, Va, December 9.-Through
the gossip of petty officers the news
has leaked out that wholesale deser-
tions from the ships in the battle
ship fleet in Hampton Roads continue
and it is understood that from now
on until the squadron steams out of
the Roads for the long voyage shore
leave will be restricted to the officers
and veterans of the navy, who like
nothing better than to jog around in
the world. The report is to the effect
that in the neighborhood of 500 men
are missing from the ships within the
past "a hours and that in consequence
I the training schools will have to be
depleted to give all the ships a full
crew.
Not much stock is taken in the re-

Old Point Comfort, Va, December g.
The double-starred flag of blue--em-
blem of the communicative chief of the
Pacific bound fieet-was flung to the
breeze from the main truck OF the bat
tleship Connecticut today and Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans, formally
assumed his position as leader of the
greatest naval movement il, the his
tory of the American people.
This was assembly day for tire fleet,
which is to sail next Monday morn
ing and of the sixteen great fight
ing machines ordered to skirt the
southermost end of all America and
1naugurate new naval era in the Pa
slf1c ocean there were but two lag
CARDS. These were the 10000 tonned
Minnesota, flag ship of Rear Admiral
c. M Thomas, commander of the sec
ond squadron 'of the feet, and the
Kentucky, whose paltry 11,525 tons
re1egate her to position at the end
Of the armored column. The Ken
lucky also is the oldest vessel among
the sixteen, having been laid down
with her sister, the Kearsarge, in 1898,
at the beginning of the war with
Spain. Nine years ago is an ancient
period in modern battleship construc-
t1on, so great have been the strides in
the Amrican naval architecture The
Minnesota and the Kentucky are both
expected to drop anchor in Hampton
Roads tomorrow and then the historic
fleet will be complete. The new Maine,
which two short years ago was the
flagship of the commander-in-chief, but
now is thrown back to eleventh
place in the list, came in today, maxi
ing fourteen battIeships at anchor of
here. The ships are disposed in two
long lines leading in a crescent which
begins just off the Old Point pier and
points toward Norfolk. The Connecti-
cut, which lies scarcely more than a
stones throw from the pier, heads the
column nearest shore. Next to her is
her sister ship, the Louisiana, the
champion hard-hitting, fast-firing ves-
sci of her class and then in turn come
the Kansas and the Vermont, all reg
istering $4,000 tons and bolted with
steel that is rated we'll nigh impreg-
nable. These four vessels compose the
first division of the first squadron Of
the fleet and are the personal charges
of Rear Admiral Evans. The second
division in the first squadron is made
up of the Georgia, Virginia. New Je--
sey and Rhode Island. The flag of
Rear Admiral Memory, in command
Of the division, floats from the Geor-
gia's truck. 1t also bears two stars,
but in distinction from that of the
commander-in-chief, the flag has red
field, the same being true of all Of the
three admirals who have command of
the divisions under Admiral Evans
The Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey and
Rhode Island are all of a type and
with a displacement of nearly 1900
tons each. They combine the tremen-
dous driving force of 10000 horses and
in their trial trips have all exceeded
10 knots, a speed attaind by few of
the heavily built armored vessels OF
the world.
Both absentees from the feet today
were in the second squadron column
A vacant berth at the head of the
line was left for the Minnesota which
is bound down the coast from the New
York navy yard. The Minnesota was
the last of the big vessels to dock at
New York and was given 48 hours
grace under orders to report in Hamp-

Nononcah. W. Va, Dec. 9.-When
darkness came tonight total ut 90
bodies had been brought from the Two
wrecke dmines at MononSah.
Rescue work, while SOW, was pro-
crossing smoothly and rapidly as due
precaution for the rescuers would per-
nit
II is believed that close on 10 one
hundred will have been recovered by
daylight tomorrow. The fire which
caused the suspension OF rescue ~orK
Yesterday and early today In mine NO
s. was extinguished II Is stated at noon
today.
Scenes of touchinng sadness were
caused throughout thu day by the ou-
rial of the recovered dead and the pit
ifu actions of relatives Of the en-
SCmbed victims.
The company issued statement
today in which the claim Is made that
later developments lead the officials
TO believe there were only $50 mel IN
the mine when the explosion occurred.
The statement. however. is believed
10 be purely conjecture and no one
who 81 familiar with conditions here
takes il seriously. II is insisted by
miners OF the vicinity that 400 men
were checked OFF as entering the two
mines last Friday morning and in ad-
dition to that number there were many
having duties in the mine who were
not under check system. Several times
during the day the Government Expert
Hall and Chief Mine Inspector Paul,
OF West Virginia made examinations
of both mines They are not ready TO
issue any statement at this time. That
new legislation, affecting the mining
industry OF West Virginia, will be
passed at an extra session Of the legis-
lature, is the opinion Of Lieutenant
Governor Joseph McDermott, express
ed to the Associated Press.
Over So 900 was added To the va
rious relief funds during the day. The
report that a second explosion occurr-
ed in the mines today was unfound
d.
The fourth day was a repetition oF
ito predecessors in the matter of pa
! thetic scenes.
Hundreds of women remained near
| the mines all day screaming and cry
! ing until they almost collapsed. AS
| On former days, hot coree was servei
| at intervals oy the company to keep
| the unfortunate women from falling
| to the ground from exhaustion. Prob-
ably a dozen funerals were held to-
cay and most distressing scenes were
witnessed.
A pathetic incident of the day oc-
| Cured at mine No. 6. A foreign woman
| whose hunband had been killed stood
| near the mine all day with a half doz-
er carnations in her hand. The little
| floral tribute was wrapped with white
ribbons. Shortly after noon her hus-
bands body was recovered in such a
| condition that burial was necessary at
once. She followed the wagon to the
temporary motgue, where it was placed
in box, and then to the cemetery

Within an hour the entire ceremony

MISREPRESENTATION IN STOCK MARKET Buying of Stocks Is Not As Free As Expected CAUTION IS WATCHWORD Process of Renovation of Market Con- ditlons Goes Slowly and Require
 ments Yet to Be Met conduce
 to Lower Prices.
CAUTION IS WATCHWORD

New York, December 23.-Tightening up of the money market today gave unmis- takable warning of the speculative ele- ment of the necessity of caution in using borrowed funds. The warning was heed ed and the market lapsed into condition of semistagnation in consequence. The rise in the call money rate, while exer- cising this restraining influence on spec ulaton, did not seem to force any large amount of selling of stocks directly. The selling was ascribed for the most part to professional operators who bought weakly in anticipation of the good bank statement but were disappointed with the paucity of the outside demand at tracted in the market today. Attention centered almost exclusively on the money market, and it was concluded that the large reeuperation effected by the banks last week had not yet put them in any position to discontinue the process of renovation in view of the still existing deficit of $S1, ,751, 900 below the legal re- quirement.
 The completion of this process of res- toration is now regarded as essential to dissipate the continued reluctance of the interior banks to take up normal bank ing relations again. There are unusually large requirements to be met in any event by the New York banks in connec- tion with the annual settlements. While the larger profits indicated by the record total of $1S4, ,655, 900 in dividends and inter- est, payable in January, are matters for encouragement and promise for a good reinvestment demand, the problem of financing the payments present its diff faculties in the strengthened condition of the money market. There are extra ordinary requirements besides to be met on January 1, including $11.625OOO for subscriptions to new Northern Pacific stocks, s9,147,OOO for New York, New Haven and Hartford stock and $9,000,oOO for American Telephone bonds.
 Another contingency of the coming week is the expiration of the present day period or notices of withdrawals re- quired by savings banks during the banking furry in New York in the lat ter part of October. It Is known that many of the notices of withdrawal. given at> that time have since been rescinded,
 
 the requirement in the meantime and such withdrawals as were sought. Nev- ertheless, it is probable that some de- gree of preparedness will be looked to with the expiration of period of the with drawalznotices. The narrowing of the supply of funds to loan on call is thus seen to be amply accounted for, and in fact occasions no surprise
 The closing of bank in Atlanta and notice of assistance to be rendered. after investigation by the clearing house to a bank in New Orleans made a bad inn pression. There is some anxiety over the outlook for the government fiscal opera tions, the decline in the revenues point ing to the early necessity for the use by the government of some of the funds on deposit with national banks.

SOUTHERN MARKETS WEAK

New York, December 23,-The cotton market was not active today, but closed easier the close being barely steady at net decline of 15 to r points. Sales were estimated at 175,O00 bales. The mar ket opened steady at a net decline of 10 to Il points. with December showing the greatest loss, under some scattered liquidation. Cables were about as ex- pected, and during the early session prices fluctuated within a narrow range. Later. however the market weakened, owing to weakness in New Orleans and New Or leans selling orders, which were sup posed to reflect unsettled financial condi- tions. and the market showed a net loss of about IS to 20 points during the fore noon.
 The close was only 3 or 1 points up from the lowest on the active months. Higher money rates and unfavorable trade reports seemed to be the chief fac- tors, and rumors that cotton on the docks awaiting inspection was being storm-dam- aged and that there might not be a deliv- cry on December contracts were not ac- companied by any special demand for the DecemDer optloh' lne oiu DeceHlper puiis bought some January during the day, but some of the scattering long interest in that position seemed to be liquidating as though apprehensive of deliveries on con- tract.

NEGRO SAFELY JAILED!
AssaiIant of Mrs. Hershey Escapes
 Mob at Columbus.

Columbus, O., December 23.-Cries of lynch him." kill him." greeted the ar rival from Dayton today of John Young, the negro who confessed to assaulting Mrs. William B. c. Hershey at her home in this city last Friday. Young was captured aboard a Big Four train near Dayton last night. Precautions had been taken to keep the arrival of Young here a secret and the train was stopped at crossing outside the Union station where a patrol wagon and a squad of officers were waiting to take the prisoner to the police station.
 Several hundred men had gathered at the place, however. and the crowd surged around the negro as he alighted from the train and hostile cries were made, but the police hurried the prisoner away so quickly that no actual violence was at tempted.
