ROUND THE WORLD
Admiral Evans Fleet Will Cir
cumnaVigate the Globe.
That Has Been Decided Upon
by the President.
VIA THE SUEZ CANAL.
1t Will Return From the
Pacific Ocean.
VIA THE SUEZ CANAL.
Another Fleet to Be Organized
ON the Atlantic.

New York, Sept. 5.-Some interest
ing information bearing on the dis
patch of Admiral Evans battleship
fleet to the Pacific is published in the
Times today and is credited to a high
authority
The administration it is stated does
not mean to confine the fleets move
ments to the Pacific coast. The presi-
dent plans to send the warships on
to Hawaii and then to the Philippines
after their visit to California ports.
When orders are issued for their re-
turn the route designated will be via
the Suez canal. Thus the fleet will
circumnavigate the globe. 1t is furth-
er learned that in the meantime the
Atlantic coast will not be left unpro-
tected, but that at the instance of
President Roosevelt the navy depart
ment has already begun to plan the
m utilization of another fleet to re-
place that under Admiral Evans.
The flagship of the new fleet will be
the New Hampshire, a 900 ton bat
tleship which is to be ready for COM
mission early in January. AS soon as
possible she is to be joined by the Mis-
sissippi and the Idaho, two first class
battleships now under construction by
the Cramps and nearing completion.
These three powerful vessels will
serve as consortS of the veterans of
the spanish war, the DattleShlpS Iowa,
Indiana and Massachusetts, which are
now being modernized. This fleet of
six battleships will have as it's auxil-
iaries the three new scout cruisers,
which are almost ready for service,
the Chester, Birmingham and Salem.
Subsequently the new Atlantic fleet
will be reinforced by the two 5000
ton battleships Michigan and South
Carolina, the two fast cruisers of IA
500 tons each the North Carolina and
Montana.
The New Hampshire is similar to
the Connecticut, Admiral Evans flag
ship. in type. The Idaho and Missis-
sippi which are 5000 tons each, are
of a type peculiar to themselves. They
are noted for the power of their
armament notwithstanding their rela-
lively small tonnage. The Chester,
Birmingham, and Salem are of 1880
tons each and they are to be capable
of 25 knots an hour speed.
VIII Name 1t New York
Washington. Sept. 5--The navy de-
partment has practically decided to
christen the 10000 ton battleship No
20, sister ship to the Delaware, the
New York. This can be effected by
changing the name of the armored
cruiser of that name to the SARATOGA.

FRANCE IS SHOCKED.
Now Sees the Mistake of Not AnnihiIat-
ing the MoOrs.

Paris, Sept. 5.-The news of Mon
days sanguinary engagement near
Casa Blanca has shocked as well as
surprised France. The fighting demon
strated that the Moroccan situation Is
steadily growing more serious and that
although France is constantly victort-
ons the logged fanatical resistance Of
the Moors who appear to be mobiliz-
ing in large numbers. may necessitate
a distinct enlargement of the allied
forces in order to bring the fighting to
an end
The fierce assaults of the enemy ara
believed to be due to Frances failure
to annihilate the Moors during early
stages of the expedition, result which
France was unable to accomplish on
account of the restrictions imposed on
her by the AIgeciras convention. NJ.
Regnault. the French minister at Tan
gier left Paris today for Spain, where
he will confer with the Spanish Off
cials on the subject of the enlargement
of action and corporation of Spain
and France.

Given a Severe Jolt.

Chanute, Kan, Sept. SIS. B. Tram

first serious automobile accident which
has occurred at Chanute. While riding

fact that he was struck while the car
was going at terrific rate, that the
horse he was riding was fatally injured,
and that he remained unconscious in
the road nearly an hour, not single
bone was broken and he finally recov-
cred consciousness and found that he
was little injured. The escape was al
most miraculous.

MISSED THE EXPRESS.
Wreckers Succeed in DeraiIing b. &
o. Freight.

Pittsburg, Sept. 5.-Train wreckers
were at work last evening on the Balti-
more & Ohio road at Scott Haven and
Sutterville, 80 miles east of here. Spikes,
it is said, were drawn from the east
bound tracks for the purpose, it is
thought, of catching the New York ex-
press which leaves Pittsburg at $50
o'clock in the evening. The wreckers,
however, were deceived by the number
of freight and passenger trains passing
those points last evening and the ex-
press got through before the spikes
were drawn.
The next train following it, however,
fast freight express for Philadelphia
and New York was not so fortunate.
When the big engine struck the rail
from which the spikes had been drawn
the rail turned over derailing the en-
gine and IL cars. The tank of the en-
gine is in the Youghiogheny river
which is a distance of from 35 to 40 feet
below the eastbound track. Five of the
derailed cars turned over were more or
less wrecked, the merchandise being
scattered along the tracks, while the
other cars completely blocked both
tracks. The fireman and engineer es-
capped injury by jumping.

KING CAUSED A FUSS.
Edward VII Held Responsible for a
Divorce Suit.

Lexington, KY. Sept. 5.-A divorce
suit which is considered the result of an
estrangement caused by King Edward
of England came to light yesterday af-
ter having been kept a secret since June.
The suit was filed by Lewis T. Brown
against Margaret Johnson Brown, on the
grounds of abandonment. Mis-. Brown
is the daughter of Claude NJ. Johnson,
formerly European agent of the Hoe
Press company with headquarters in
London. Mrs. Brown was a woman of
rare beauty, and attracted attention ev-
erywhere. Matters came to a climax
when Mr.. and Mrs. Brown attended a
theater where King Edward was at
tracted by Mrs. Browns beauty and
asked an introduction. Brown objected
and his wife ridiculed his objections. To
this incident it is said, is due the es-
arrangement and separation. Brown re-
turned to Kentucky and is in the life
insurance business at Maysville, KY.

JUST A TOUCH OF AUTUMN.
Temperatures Reminder of the
Change of Seasons.

There was an odor of moth balls about
the. corridors of the hotels of the city
this morning; a gentle reminder of the
unpacking of those things which are
put away early in the spring to hiber-
nate. Last night there was no early
morning rest for the night clerks who
were aroused by the constant calls for
blankets from the guests of these same
hostelries.
If the weather of the past day or SO
has not been of the winter variety it
has been almost and autumn wraps have
been much in evidence during the morn
ing and evening hours. The change is
a marked one over the conditions which
prevailed last week but none the less
welcome. The sun has shone in a half
hearted way during the daytime but
there has not been a surplusage of
heat.

Railroad Assessment Sustained.

Judge E. Boyd Faulkner. of this
judicial district, has handed down a
decision sustaining the assessment
placed upon the property of the B. 81
D. Railroad in the counties of Jeffer-
son, Berkeley and Morgan. In rem
dering his decision, Judge Faulkner
went fully into the case. He stated
that three important questions entered
into 1.-THE question of the ownership
of the road, the question of the fran
chise, or right to operate, and the
question of the valuation. Discussing
the question of the franchise, Judge
Faulkner stated that he assumed that
the franchise, or the right to operate,
had been taken into consideration
when the valuation was fixed by the
Board of Public Works, although there
was no specific declaration to that ef'
feet. The question of the valuation
of the railroad property in the State
was then handled. The court stated
that thorough review of this point
showed that, according to the figures
submitted by the railroad officials
themselves, one. fourth the whole val
uation of the road was to be found in
West Virginia. If these figures are
correct, then the valuation of the road
in West Virginia would be $lO9, OOO..
600, instead of $79,000,000. as fixed
by the Board of Public Works. There
fore the railroad officials were not en-
titled to reduction from the assess
ment of the Board of Public Works.
The hearing of the appeal Of the
Norfolk & Western Railway from the
assessment of the Board Of Public
Works, which was to have been held
last week at WEIGH, was postponed
because of the inability of two OF the
judges to be present.
