position he suffered during the early
part of the week. He declared that
the sixteen ships were ready to weigh
anchor at any time.
In an interview with an Associated
Press representative he said: you
ask ME on the evening of the de-
parture of the fleet to give you some
words to lay before the people of the
United States. | therefore ask you
TO convey to the people the sincere
thanks and hearty appreciation of the
officers and men of the fleet for the
great interest which the country
at large is taking in our movements
Feels the Responsibility.
I'VE feel the responsibility which
the people have laid upon us by their
interest in past years, In creating
and maintaining this splendid fleet
and in the continuation of that inter-
est which now fits lis out complete
la every particular and sends us out
, on this great practice cruise to visit
our friends and supporters on the
Pacific coast of our country.
Il am sure that every officer and
man in the fleet will feel it not only
a duty, but pleasure, to repay the
people for their interest by absolute
fidelity to the trust imposed upon
him in small things as well as in
large.
II hope that when we arrive at our
destination the people will have for
N l.
God speed which they give us on
our departure and that should our
commander in chief then decide to
send us to the other hemisphere that
the same warm interest will fol-
low us there in the future as it has
always in the past"
Monarch Of All He Surveys.
When the flagship Connecticut gets
under way tomorrow morning Rear
Admiral Evans will become the SUI
preme ruler of this great fleet His
word will be law and it will be the
duty of his chief of staff, Captain
Royal r. Ingersoll, to see that the
law is carried out. And it is Admir-
al Evans who is responsible to the
government of the United Staty, for
the safety of the whole. Under his
command is property valued at nearly
hundred million dollars and to re-
place witch would require from four
to eight years. In the building OF
this property several of Americas
leading shipbuilding plants have been
busy for ten years.
A conference of the ordnance officers
of the various ships was called on
the Connecticut yesterday by Lieu
tenant Compandcr Ridley Mclean,
the fleet ordnance officer. but II was
postponed until this afternoon. With

Bay, or for theS arrival ut San Fran
cisco. but 1t Is generally believed on
board the ships that the fleet Will
pass through the Golden Gate about
April 20 and drop anchor In front Of
San Francisco.
Vessels Waiting In Pacific.
Awaiting Rear Admiral Evans feet
at San Francisco will be the battle
ships Nebraska, q sistershlp of the
Virginia, Wisconsin, slstership of
the Illinois. and the famous Oregon;
the armored cruisers Maryland, West
Virginia. Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ten
nessee, Washington, South Dakota
and California; the protected cruis-
ers Charleston, st. Louis, Milwaukee,
Chattanooga, Galveston, Cincinnati.
Raleigh. Chicago and Boston; the gun
boats Yorktown, Concord, Helena,
Wilmington, Annapolis and Princeton
and the monitors Wyoming. Montery
and Monadnock.
This fleet of nineteen great battle
ships. eight new armored cruisers,
nine protected cruisers. six gunboats,
three monitors and six torpedo boat
destroyers will be the greatest array
OF armor clads that has ever gathered
In the Pacific ocean. In ships OF the
first class, 1t exceeds the navy of ia :
pan In tonnage, number Of guns and re-
lative Fighting strength.
For short time. at least, Rear Ad-
miral Evans will command this great
armada and It is thought possible
That he will be called upon to take 1t
to the Far East. for 1t is generally
pelieyedNthat that is where the feet
Is destined to go.
When the battleships will return to
the Atlantic canot be foretold, but Ii
Is not probable that they will come
back until after the new treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan is
signed in 1909, for they may be need :
ed in the Pacific that year.

positions OF particular responsibility.
Not Disturbed by Storm.
The big batleships were not dis
turbed by the stiff southeast wind
and rain storm which swept this sec
ton Friday night and yesterday
morning. Rain continued throughout
the night. but ceased early in the
morning Toward noon yesterday
the wind abated and the fleet was
, suddenly lost to view from Old Point
in binding fog. After an hour or
more the fog lifted as suddenly as
1t fell and the fleet bursting into
view, made a magnificent marine
spectacle.
The ships finished loading the final
consignments of supplies yesterday
afternoon and today will be given
over to rest preparatory to the start
ing of the long cruise.
In Squadron Formation.
Passing out of the Virginia Capes
in single file, the great war dogs will
turn their noses southwark and, as
Stunning squadron formation, that is
four abreast, they will steam down
the Atlanticcoast at a rate Of from ten
to twelve knots an hour, each ship
Keeping her distance almost rs care
, fully as a cadet at drill on the cam
pus at Annapolis. Not all of the yoy-
age will be made in tn formation
however, as the fleet will be put
through frequent evolutions dur
ing the cruise and at sig
nal from the Connecticut they will
form in double or single file. or steam
several hundred yards apart. In case
OF storms the vessels will separate sc
as to avoid any possibility of coll
lision but at no time Will they he
more than 500 yards apart All har-
bors will be entered in single file and
the journey through the Straits az
Magellan will be made in that forma-
ton.
Spend Christmas at Trinidad.
The first stop on this long journey
will be made at the beautiful Port
of Spain. Trinidad. There the fleet
will spend Christmas. arriving on the
morning of December "a. Santa Claus
will come aboard Christmas Eve for
the Navy Department has arranged
to transport ali presents for the men
and officers to Trinidad.

Beside the sports on board the
ships, there will be many cutter and

fleet will enter the Strait about jan
uary 30, reaching Sandy Point the
following day. There the feet will
spend five days provisioning and coal

The flagship Connecticut will lead

Our attention was called to
the fact yesterday that the
cindcr grade on Erie street be-
tween this city and the fair
grounds is much too narrow.
During times when we have a
chautauqua or fair, or even
picnics, and the traffic is heavy,
teams with loads cannot pass
with safety unless this grade is
made much wider. We know
from experience that with the
amount of traffic OH that street
during our big days back and
forth from town, that a good,
wide thoroughfare is a neces-
sity in order to avoid accidents.

Treble clef Picnic

The ladies of the Treble Clef
Club gave a picnic supper last
evening at the fair grounds, it
being their regular custom to
close the years work with such
an entertainment. The gentle
men friends and husbands of
the members were invited also
and needless to say they were
there when supper was an
nounced. The weather was
rather threatening and the
party came home earlier than
expected, but everyone re-
ported a good time, in fact the
ladies had such a bountiful
supply of good things that a
regiment could have been fed
and a large amount left un-
touched. The Clef has had a
most satisfactory season and
will take up the work again
next fall.
Edna Teeple brought suit for
divorce from Frederick Teeple
to whom she was married at
Logan, Iowa, July %, 1899.
Among other acts of cruelty
charged against her husband,
the plaintiff alleges that he
drove her from the house last
Monday and compelled her to
seek refuge with friends. She
asks the custody of their two
minor children, and asks that
title to the home be decreed to
her. A temporary injunction
was issued restraining the de-
PENDANT from interfering with
the plaintiff or their property.
John Cannon left this morn
ing for Omaha, after spending
