THE FLEET IN THE PACIFIC.

The details of the voyage of the
American fleet from our Atlantic to
our Pacific coast are now announced
with sufficient fullness to justify
some general forecast of the unpre-
cedented undertaking. The total
apparent distance to be sailed is 49,
772 miles, to which something should
probably be ad led for slight diver
gences from the most direct course,
especially in entering and leaving
ports of call A speed of ten knots
an hour-the most economical rate
is to be maintained. The entire
sailing time will therefore be about
tifty-eight days. To this something
must. however, be added for neces-
sary delays in coaling, taking on pro-
visions, etc. Even thus, If the fleet
does not start before the middle of
December. it will have plenty of time
to reach it's destination by the first
of March, The time of year Is well
chosen, for it will insure the making
of most of the voyage in the plea
ant conditions of the Antarctic sum-
mer.
The coaling problem is undoubt-
edly one of the most formidable in
.volved in the whole undertaking, and.
it is of interest to note the way in
which it has been worked out. All
the coaling OF the sixteen battle
ships is to be done from GOLFERS,
which will accompany the fleet or
meet it at designated points and
most of the coal will be taken from
this country, though some Will have
20 be purchased at foreign coaling
stations, Of which there are plenty
conveniently disposed along the route
or in foreign markets. In addition
TO what they viii carry in their W.
filed bunkers on starting the ships

at the start will carry them easily 10
Trinidad, 1880 miles out. There
they will receive $500 tons from
four. small Golfers which will accom-
pany them thither, giving them
enough to proceed 10 Rio Janiero,
3 200 miles farther. At Rio de Jan
Giro they Will receive 10000 tons
from the five big GOLFERS which are
to accompany them TO that place,
and. thus provided. they will go on
2.223 miles further, to Sandy Point
tPunta Arenas). There, midway in
the Strait of Magellan, they will be
met by four big colliers with $4,000
tons-a supply sufficient to carry
them right past such coaling stations
as Coronel, Conception. Valparaiso
and Coquimbo, 2,725 miles to Cal
lao At the great Peruvian port four
more golfers will meet them, with
, 600 tons, which will carry them

NEGRO RYPNOTIZES MELON NABBED BY POLICE Colored Gentleman of Inter national Renown, Gives
 Unique Explanation.

Parker Johnson, of 9S Dixwell ave nue, who claims to be the champion negro hypnotist of the world, spent the night at the Dixwell avenue station house as the result of a little experi- ment which he tried last evening.
 Johnson who is employed at Rosen- bergs Congress avenue store, was in- vited out for supper last evening at the home of Jake Hodge, one of the elite of the Black Belt in this city, The sup per was an elaborate one, but Johnson had feeling, as he left the house of his host, that something had been lacking in the meal.
 The world renowned hypotist kept chanting over to himself on his home ward way, those words of Brownings. "Wanting is What?' but the answer didn't dawn on him until he came op- posite the fruit stand of Thomas Bouz- oucos, at 12S Dixwell avenue. In front of the stand was displayed a pyrimad of ripe Georgia watermelons, which seemed to adequately answer all the questioning of Johnson's representative Isoul,
 Now Johnson has always had weakness for watermelon, and 1t was not unnatural that his mind should concentrate itself on the luscious fruit as he passed by. What was his aston ishment to find that one of the rip est and juciest of the melons yielded to his hypnotic powers, and came rolling over the sidewalk to the curb, directly in front of him!
 He picked up the melon to replace 1t on the pile, but absent-mindedly started in the wrong direction. Officer Ferdin- ando, who happened to be standing on a nearby corner, misunderstood the na- ture of the affair, and in spite Of the protests of the colored gentleman of International renown, the policeman ln- sisted on conveying the distinguished hypnotist and the equally innocent wa termelon into the nearby police station
 On the way to the station house. the hvpnotist offered to give the officer a free personal demonstration Of ms power. but the officer declined to enter the contest A similar offer was ex- tended to the desk sergeant, but the latter admitted that he was not mucn interested in the subject. Johnson claims that he can put any policeman in the city to sleep within three mn" utes. He will make further explana- lions in the city court this morning

MT Mccarthy was elected for 1908, but in 1906, the board failed to make any choice, owing to the change in the charter.
 Tt was simply a case of misunder- standing and neglect on the part of the board. But under the special provis- ions of the law which altered the char ter, it was arranged that all officers of the city should hold office the extra six months, or until their successors were duly chosen.
 This is the provision under which the mayor and the assistant city clerk held office. MT. Mccarthy naturally sup posed that this applied to him likewise, and accordingly when the first of the year came around, and his successor had not been chosen, he went ahead with his preparation to take up the work.
 The law specifics that the work of collecting the names shall be done be- tween Jan. and Jan. S1. On January 8, the council met and elected MT. Seal ly to do the work. Now, how could they elect a man on Jan. 8 to do work which must be begun on Jan. 1?
 MT Mccarthy holds that the coun- cil's election of scally Is legally for the year 1908, and not for the year l907; especially inasmuch as his men had al- ready completed a large portion of their work.
 MT. McCarthy's work was thorough | ly done, and he had the experience of several years to help him. The only reason why the lists of the two officers do not agree, is that MT, Scally was compelled to begin his work so late that he did not have time to do it prop erly.
 That it was generally considered by ! the city officials, that MT. Mccarthy l vas the proper enrolment officer is shown by the fact that the city comp troller delivered to him the necessary supplies for taking up his work, and paid the bills for his stationery and printing.
 What if MT. Mccarthy had failed to start the work on .Tanuary 1, and the aldermen at their meeting, had neg lected to elect an enrolment officer, before January 81? The adjutant gen eral would have looked to MT. McCar- 1 thy for neglect of duty, as he would have been the only enrolment officer duly credited upon the state records.
 T would suggest that the committee advise the payment of both claims, as both men have conscientiously and in good faith done the work and the situation is really more the result of circumstances than the fault of any one in particular"
 No one appeared at the hearing to oppose the claim of Mir. Mccarthy, as Alderman Homan said that he did not

consider it necessary for the friends of MT Scally to go on record as opposed to the claim of Mir. Mccarthy.
 At the request of Alderman Luce, a rising vote of all those present was taken. First, all were asked to stand who were in favor of the payment of the Mccarthy bill, Practically every one in the room arose. Then those were asked to stand who favored the payment of the scally bill. Everyone also rose on this vote, including MT Mccarthy and his deputies.
 The committee then went into execu- tive session and decided that the ques- tion was @ legal one, as to which of the two rivals was technically the legally constituted enrolment officer and that it ought to be referred to the 1 corporation counsel for an opinion.

FINE ATTRACTIONS
White City Throngs Increasing for
 Splendid Exhibitions,


 There is nothing to equal the White City for an amusement resort now-a- days, As the season advances the great crowds docking to this mecca of joys increases as does also the variety of attractions
 The remarkable balloon ascensions of Johnny Mack and his company of aero nauts are the greatest drawing card of the season. The beautiful ascension last night by moonlightwas enjoyed by 5000 people who were carried away by the novelty of the affair. The spectacle during the present fine moonlight night should not be missed.
 A remarkable curiosity just put on exhibition is the Chinese dragon, so- called. It apparently belongs to the Lizard family. It was captured on the Island of Formosa some three years ago. It is a study for any one. It Is over feet long.
 The Kriss Kross is one fine attrac- tion. All day long this brand new device is crowded by happy people. Its thrilling whirls are a remedy for all ills.
 Do not forget the $20O worth of sil- yer prizes to be given away tomorrow night Get your free coupons at the ticket office right up to the time of the presentations and you may be fortu- nate enough to get one of the beauti- full presents.
 The great free vaudeville act this week is Van Cleve, Denton and Pate, the comedy mule.

 ter, however has been referred to
