Fortress Monroe, Now 15.-The Monitar Puritan was rushed to the Norfolk Navy Yards in a sinking con- ditidn after having undergone two terrific explosions to test the effect of an unconfined blast of high power nitro-glycerine, today.
 The first explosion cracked the ar- raor of the aft turret badly and the second, which was against the side of the ship, stove in the armor plate and opened bad leaks in the ship be- $ low the water line. flooding "a big Compartment of the vessel. The rear end of the ship sank and water pour ed the after deck. Each test was with two hundred pounds of high ex- plosives. The Monitor was taken to Norfolk and taken to dry dock.
 On board the Puritan was Captain Austin M. Knight, president of the special Board of Naval Ordnance and several sailors. Captain Knight manipulated the electric current that caused the explosion from the berth deck. A cat and two chickens were placed in the turret at points where the gunners would stand and were found alive after the explosion.

 Disposed Of.
IS NOW "LOVE FEAST"

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 15.-The dove of peace was seen flittering over the heads of the National Association of Minor Leagues at the second days meeting at the Congress Hotel here today, and it now appears that the supposed outbreak and a big feud, which was scheduled to take place with the re-class 'fication of several of the leagues has been completely side-tracked. It is probably that the remainder of the gatherings will be very much of love feast.
 Three separate sessions today fail- ed to produce any real results in the changing of the single circuit Or re- duction in classes of any of the Leagues. During the evening the Board was only able to hear cases of many clubs and leagues, and it will require the entire week before any thing definite will be done.

FOOD PRICES
 ARE DROPPING Meats, Poultry and Every Other Variety of Food, Cheaper Yesterday.
EGGS ARE EXCEPTED
Edward Cudahy Says Big Corn Crop is RespOnsible-Far Rath.
 CT Feed It.

New York, Nov. 15.-Reports from all over the country today told of the reduced cost of living in larger cit ies. Meats of all kinds, poultry of all kinds and every other variety of food except; perhaps, strictly fresh eggs, have come down in prices or the retailers Were announcing that a drop in prices would come at any time.
 New York City appeared to be the whole exception, although wholesale dealers say there has been an easing off in the prices to them in the last week or so The official market fig ures were not given out, but they were said to have been noticeable and were accepted to be substantially within a fortnight. It was said that if the consumers of the city were not getting their meat cheaper as we'll as other necessity the fault would lie with the retail dealers.
 Cudahy Tells Why.
 Omaha, Neb., Nov 15."-The tide has about turned and meat prices are on the down grade, sad Edward Cudahy, of the Cudahy Packing Com pany "The decrease in prices is due to the great corn crop produced all over the United States. The big crop in foreign countries reduces the amount to be exported from Americ.a. : 1Gr | ieaVlns inore ce.M for local consump. ltfon. This has lnwered the prices Of corn and farmers think they can make more money feeding the grain than by shipping it. For this reason there will be more cattle and more hogs fed in the west this winter than for several years.

GOVERNOR HUGHES TO RETIRE.

,The New York Tribune Is authority
Tor a very explicit statement thar
Governor Hughes of New York VIII
decline a third nomination for chiei
executive of the Empire state. THIS
Intelligence. which presumably is wen
viii be received with re-
eret not only throughout New YORK
state but, over the country generally
Governor Hughes is in many respects
an ideal chief executive. In the SIT
uation which confronted the greatest
state i'm the union when Hughes went
10 Albanv the services Of a rare public
servant were required. This situation
was SO eapably. fcarlessly and ade-
ouately met by the present governor
as to make Of him AT once national
figure.
His utter contempt for subterfuge
and dealing under cover. his love of
ONENESS and fair play, his abrupt and
peremptory refusal to view any of his
official acts except from the stand
po'nt of the public good. won for him
the hatred and opposition of every rat
hole politician. every oowardly time.
server and every crooked manipulation
who fattened on the public purse IN
New York-and there We're plenty OF
them. II also won for him the re-
spect. admiration and esteem of de-
cent people regardless of party lines
and irrespective of state boundaries.
The fight which Hughes made
against the race track ring which con-
trolled in Albany. the reforms which
he instituted i'm the public service
the intelligent and aggressive cam
paign he has wagedfor the direct pri-
mary. all go to make a record which
challenges comparison in New York
state annals.
Governor Hughes declares that he is
not insensible to the demands which
patriotism made upon him. nor to the
obligations Of friendship incurred in
the public service. but he feels that
the sacrifice he has already made is
all that in justice to his family he
can make at the present time In the
case of a man Ike Hughes it is re-
grettable that the financial returns
for work of the character of that which
he has been doing are not sufficient
to make such a course unnecessary.
However. whether Governor Hughes
remains in public, or retires to private
life. his influence for all that makes
for higher citizenship, loftier patriot
ism and more disinterested public SER
vice will still be potent and effective
an asset OF national Importance.
