SUBSIDIES FOR SHIPS
PASSAGE OF THE GALLINGER
BILL BY THE SENATE.

The Gallinger ship subsidy bill was
passed by the Senate yesterday. 1t pays
to sixteen-knot vessels plying between this
country and South America, the Philip
pines, Japan, China and Australasia 81
per mile, the amount awarded by the act
of 1891 to vessels of twenty knots only.
The bill was amended in the Senate so
that twelve-knot vessels will receive s. a
mile which is the allowance under exist
ing law to siXteen-knot vessels. Amend
ments were also adopted providing that if
two or more lines of steamships ply from
Atlantic ports to South America under
the provisions of the bill one line shall
stop at two ports south of Cape Charles.
and providing further that no more shall
be paid for subsidies than is received
from ship service by the government.
During the consideration of the measure
Mr.. Hale made a spirited plea for an
auxiliary navy, declaring that without
auxiliaries our navy is dependent upon
foreign countries, and that in case of war
we would be helpless.
"If. when that fleet was ordered on it's
tour about the globe" said Senator Hale.
there had been the least menace of war
from any power, no government owning
one Of these Golfers would have allowed
single ship to be employed by us. and
our fleet, as 1t is. with any menace of
war upon the sky, without these foreign
GOLFERS, would be as useless and as idle
as painted ship upon painted ocean,"

TRIMBLE MEMORIAL,
Movement in Baltimore to Pay
Tribute to Deceased Surgeon.

A memorial of DR.. Isaac Ridgeway
Trimble. who was surgeon-in-chief of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and q
prominent citizen of Baltimore. is to be
erected. and already movement to Sc
cure funds has been started in the Monu-
mental city. DR.. Trimble died recently
from blood poison contracted while per-
forming a surgical operation short time
previously.
The plan is to establish a fund by VOL
untary subscription and present it to the
medical and chirurgical faculty of Mary
land for the purpose of founding the
''Trimble lectureshp." A committee that
organized this movement and has charge
of it consists of Oscar G.. Murray, presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad;
Alexander Brown, Lawrason Riggs, Drs.
L. McLane Tiffany, Hiram Woods, Frank
Martin, W. S. Thayer, Charles O'Dono-
van John c. Dawes and John Ruhrah
The committee has issued an announce
ment that it is the desire to perpetuate
the memory of DR.. Trimble in this way.
DR.. S. r. Barr, superintendent of the re-
lief department of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, has sent out a circular let
ter to all surgeons and medical examiners
of the company with a copy of the com
mittee's explanation OF the plan. and ex-
pressing belief that all will want TO CON-
tribute to the fund. and adding that no
amount will be considered too small.
In his letter DIR. Barr says that DIR.
Trimble was so well and favorabiy known
in the Baltimore and Ohio service and
had done SO much for the men that there
must be a large number who would be
glad of an opportunity to aid in the es-
Establishment of the lectureShip, and l am
especially anxious that the Baltimore and
Ohio should make a good showing in this
work.
The plan is TO have the lectures deliv-
cred before the chirurgical faculty at its
annual meeting each year, or some other
time to be agreed upon. An effort will be
made to make the endowment sufficient to
yield a sum that will make 1t possible to
invite as lecturers men of distinction
from all parts of the world. 1t is believed
that the plan proposed is the which
would be most pleasing to DR.. Trimble IL
his wishes could be made known.
Alexander Brown & Sons, bankers OF
Baltimore, are treasurers of the fund.

EXPRESSES HIS THANKS.
Chief Belt Congratulates Firemen on
Work Performed Thursday Night.

William T. Belt, chief of the local fire
department. today congratulated the
members of the several companies upon
the efficient manner in which they
handled the fire at Eisingers lumber yard
Thursday night. He said the fire would
have resulted in a serious conf1agration
but for the work of the local depart
ment.
In his letter to his men Chief Belt
said:
Never since it's organization has this
department fought a fire of such magn1-
tude under conditions similar to those
present at this fire. When the depart
ment arrived upon the scene the wind
was blowing from thirty-five to forty
miles an hour from the northwest, and
some of the fire hydrants were located
from one thousand to sixteen hundred
feet away This was due to the fact that
7th street has no street cut through from
U to w street and from 9th to 9Th
street, the east and west ends being
blockaded by fences inclosing Freed
mems Hospital and the base ball park
and the fences and sheds of the 9TH
street car line.
The fire at one time jumped from the
point of origin to some lumber piles two
or three hundred feet away in close
proximity to the base ball park, the wind
carrying the. burning embers that dis
lance.
You are all entitled to great credit
for the faithful and energetic manner in
which you performed your duty under
such trying circumstances, and again
thank YOU"

BOTH KILLED IN PISTOL DUEL.
Customs Inspectors Mistook Each
Other for a Smuggler.

Ell PASO. Tex. March 21.-Mounted
Customs Inspectors Charles Logan and
Charles Jones fought a pistol duel in the
dry bed Of the Rio Grande river in this
city Thursday night, and both were killed
Their bodies were found yesterday It is
supposed that each mistook the other for
smuggler.
Logan was the son Of the late Mai
T. H. Logan. U.S.A.. and a brother of
the wife of Capt. Frank D. Wickham,
18th Infantry, U.S.A., stationed at Gov
ernors Island, N. Y. Jones was a rail-
road man before entering the customs
service.
At first it was believed that the two
officers had been killed by smugglers.
but this theory is discredted, as tracks
around where the bodies lay all fit the
shoes Of the dead men. Three shots
were heard by people living in the neigh
borhood last night The revolver of one
of the officers held two empty shells and
that of the other one empty shell.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Fire, resulting
from crossed electric light wires, damaged
the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday to the
extent of 100000, and for time threat
ened to destroy the seven-story building
at Clark street and Jackson boulevard.
The flames We're mostly confined to the
top floor No lives were lost, although
many of the guests were compelled TO
make hasty exits by way of the fire es-
capes. Two men standing in the crowd
in front of the hotel were slightly cut by
falling glass. Walter English, a fireman,
fell from the fire escape and suffered
fracture of the left arm. The fire was
discovered by James Ryan, mechanic,
who was at work on the roof of the
building. and who gave the alarm.
The clouds of smoke which poured out
of the building We're dense and pungent,
filling stores and offices for several blocks
around One man asleep on the fifth
floor awoke SO much daZed that he would
have lost his life but for several at
taches OF the hotel. who half dragged
him down fire escape.
a banquet On the second floor OF the
hotel was broken up with scant ceremony
by water sire aiming through the ceiling
The diners had been told that there was
little danger of a serious fire, and they
had remained at table until the water
drove them out. On one of the upper
floors thirty servants were at lunch and
they were forced to flee by the smoke.
During the progress of the fire two men
were arrested while robbing rooms. One
of them was discovered by Detective
Wagner of the city police force while ran
sacking room on the sixth floor. The
thief, closely pursued by the officer, ran
to the fire escape on the Jackson boule-
ward side of the building and descended to
the third 1oor before Wagner dragged him
in through a window. The chase caused
great excitement in the dense crowd
which filled the street. Several pickpock-
cts were arrested outside the building.

DIPLoDoCUs FOR KAISER.
He's an Imitation in Plaster and
Sails Next Week.

NEW YORK, March 21.-A diplodocus,
described by wise folk who delve for fos-
SLICED creatures as one of the dinosaurs
of the upper Jurassic Of Colorado, Will
sail next week for Germany aboard the
North German Lloyd steamship Main
and be introduced to the German en-
peror and other learned men of Germany.
1t is not a real diplodocus. as dinosaurs
of his kind stopped crawling lzardlike
about the earth long before the emperor
had any ancestry that could be put in a
book But it is an excellent imitation in
plaster of paris of the great diplodocus In
the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg. 1t Is
Mr.. Carnegie's gift to the emperor. 1t is
in thirty-four cases, and when it is put
together it will be sixteen feet tall and
seventy feet long.
The appearance in Germany of such a
monster, with all the things he had on
when he was snorting around Colorado
a few hundred thousand years or more
ago, might prompt the emperor to call
out his fleet and his army.
