GERMANY TO CHANGE
GREAT NAVAL BASE.
Selects Port for Warships Which
is Only Eighteen Hours From
English Coast.
MoMENToUs MOVEMENT
BERLIN. Oct.

BERLIN, Oct 10.
The German government has resolved
to readjust the balance of naval power
in the North sea by transferring the
headquarters of the German fleet from
kiel to Wilhelmshaven. This is an In.
novation which directly concerns Great
Britain as the only other naval power
bordering on the North Sea, because
kiel Is comparatively remote port in
the Baltic sea, extremely difficult of ac-
cess. whereas Wilhelmshaven Is only SOC
miles distant from the east coast of Eng
land.
When Wilhemshaven becomes Ger
many's principal naval base, the German
fleet will be in position to reach Eng
land In eighteen hours. The change from
kiel to Wilhelmshaven will be made early
In 1902 by which time the new docks
of the latter port will be ready, and the
other necessary preparations will be COM
plete.
All the German Dreadnoughts are to
be stationed at Wilhelmshaven, in addi-
ton to the other largest ships of the
German fleet.

WOMEN MURDERED
BY FANATIC MONK
Collins Found in Cellar of His
House, Each Containing
Body Of Victim.
POLICE ON HIS TRACK
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 10

81. fEIERS6 OtSG, OCt. iS.
A telegram to the Petersburger Zei-
tung relates a terrible story of crime
! which have just been discovered at Yer
choturji in the government OF Perm.
For some years past monk named
Fedot has exercised powerful attrac-
tion over the Inhabitants of the neigh
borhood, especially women, by reason of
his eloquent sermons. Women of al
ages flocked to hermitage which a
Itch merchant had built for Fedot in
the midst Of the forest near the town
Fedot. who was noted as an orig
inal" insisted that his devotees, before
confessing, should battle in a bathroom
attached to the hermitage, and should
also lie down in a coffin, SO that they
might become accustomed to the idea Of
death.
Recently several young women Of the
district disappeared, but. despite the
alarm caused, no suspicion attached to
Fedot, few days ago the wife Of q
young soldier who had gone to see the
monk failed to return home. and the
soldier proceeded to the hermitage, in
tending to force Fedot to disclose the
woman's whereabouts
The monk was missing, and the SOL
der, who passed into the bathroom, saw
2 coffin lying on the floor. Lifting the
lid, he was horror-stricsen to find with
in 1t the dead body OF his wife. He i'm
mediately Informed the police, who
searched the place.
In cellar they found number of
other collins lying side by side, and in
each of them was the dead body of a
woman. Up to the present all search
for the missing monk has proved fu-
tile.

PRICE OF CLOTHING UP

MELBOURNE, Oct. 10.
Some very effective work, in the way of
rnmask.ng the nature of the new Aus
tralian tariff. has been done by the op-
position organ. the Argus, in this city.
This paper has been especially successful
In showing how the LyneDeaktn fiscal
scheme hits the purse of the worker and
the bachelor boarder living in lodgings.
The tariff had hardly been published q
fortnight before the Argus was able to
make the following telling announce
ment:
Already there is a move upon the part
of clearinghouse keepers to raise their
tariffs and so meet the increases in
the size of their weekly bills caused by
the new duties Several large establish
ments raised their prices for board and
lodging last week. and it is stated that
most of the boarding houses in Mel
bourne will follow their example. If they
do not take such steps toward their own
self-protection, 1T is explained by those
who conduct such establishments that
the great increase in their grocers bills
alone VIII run away with their profits.
The increases in the boarding tariff"
Will, of course. vary, but it Is said that
the average ADVANCE to single boarders
will be at the rate. of loN.per cent. The
young man who formerly paid So a week
will probably have to pay each week to
his landlady an extra sum of shilings,
The 90 shilling boarder will be taxed to
the extent of shillings, or perhaps half
crown. and married couples will find
that il costs them for mere boarding ex-
penses shillngs or shillings a week
more under the new tariff than it did
under the old duties.
The--increased duties on articles of
workmen's attire have, says the Argus,
caused a substantial addition in prices.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
IN FRENCH NAVY CEASES
Three Admirals Of Three Differ
ent Countries With Charac-
teristics in Common.
FIGHTING BOB" ONE

PARIS. Oct 10.
Vice Admiral Germinet, who was only
promoted from the rank Of rear admiral a
few days ago. has been appointed to the
command of the Mediterranean fleet. His
present appointment to the most impor-
tant command in the French fleet is with
out precedent in the last fifty years.
1t is part Of the policy of M. Thomson.
the minister of marine, to give the high
commands to the younger men, in order
to assure a more energetic direction at
the maneuvers. and also to give the
squadrons the advantage of receiving the
durable Influence of an able commander,
whose age will allow him to continue in
the post for some years.
The conventional idea that the senior in
rank should be promoted almost auto
matically is now openly dsowned.
The appointment OF Vice Admiral Ger
minet to the command of the French
Mediterranean fleet completes a trio of
admirals who, by a remarkable coinci-
dence, resemble each. other. not only In
facial appearance but In personal char
acter. They also command three of the
most powerful fleets in the world.
The other two are Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford and Rear Admiral Evans, who
is known as Fighting Bob Evans, Of
the American navy.
Lord Charles Will be in command dur
ing the great British maneuvers. begin
ming on October IA, when his warships
will comprise the Channel and the Allan
tic fleets. the More division of the home
feet, and an additional cruised squadron.
Rear Admiral Evans commands the
American battleship fleet which is about
to proceed from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast.
