 Have Happenea fo Fleet.

Have Happened fo Fleet.
 Washington, Nov. 27.-Had foreign complications arisen or had a combi- nation been effected between foreign ship owners our fleet might have had to remain lying helpless in some for eign port. is the observation made by Rear Admiral William s. Cowles. chief of the Equipment Bureau of the Navy, in his annual report in discussing the lack of coliiers necessary to supply the battleship fleet with coal on it's cruise around the world.
 He recommends that immediate steps be taken to supply an adequate number of colliers for the navy.
 Admiral Cowles' report says that during the past year marked progress has been made In wireless telegraphy and its value in the scheme of na- tional defense is becoming more and more apparent.
 Recent developments warrant the es- tablishment of high powered long dist ance stations. The bureau cOntem- plates eventually the construction of such stations on the Pacific coast, at Hawaii, Guam. Samoa and the Philip pines, so that the fleet will at all times be In direct communication with Wash ington. wherever it may be. in the north Atlantic ocean. the northern Pa cific, the greater portion of the south ern Pacific and part of the Indian Ocean

Indlctments Expected .

Union City, Tenn, Nov. 27.--It was stated today by one of the attorneys in the night rider case that the grand jury would return indictments against the eight supposed night riders now held In jail at Nashville and that capias would be sent there at once for the arr rest of the eight men.
 This, it ts said. will be done in order to hedge against the possible dismiss sal of the eight night riders in Nash vile by Judge Matthews on the writs of habeas corpus cases tried before him some days ago. and who held up his opinion until December 22.
 If the court should, on pleas in abate- ment, push the indictments returned at this term of court, the prisoners will then be held to await the action of the grand jury to be empanneIed in the special term of court called by Judge Jones to convene December 2.
 These defendants. it is said. will each be charged with murder In the first degree and W9ek aiding and abet. tins iu the klillns of captalu Rankin.
 The grand jury has resumed its work on these eases and wili examine a number of important witnesses.
