result of long conference between

The admiral had some ideas of his

the tentative plans that had been pre-
pared before his arrival The great
fleet which Will be the largest ever

in three columns In the Hudson River,
and will extend from a point opposite

the battleships OF less size, the ar
mored and projected cruisers and the
Golfers.
Across on the west side OF the river
will be anchored the destroyers and
the various auxiliaries. a third coll
umn. lying between. will be composed
of torpedo boats. The submarines will
lie close to the battleshps. each of
which acts as mother ship to sew
eral submarines.
Taft May Not Go.
If the President is unable to attend.
as seems probable, Secretary Meyer
will conduct the review alone from
the Mayfower. although he Will have
with him a number of invited guests.
and some of these. with the press rep

commodated on board the Dolphin.
The secretary has changed the orig
inal plans so as to provide now for an

On that occasion. while the ships lie
at anchor in columns. the secretary,
on the Mayfower. will sail through
the fleet, stopping to visit personally
the flagship of each Of the divisions.

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject. made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why so many applicants for insurance are
rejected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority. Of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
He. states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in, direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in re.

its remarkable record Of cures.

NOT WRECKED BY sMokELEss.
No Parallel between Destruction of
the Maine md the Iiherte

tue -hainc ana the Lfberfe.
Washington, October l7-Positiye
announcement was made to-day by the
ordnance bureau of the Navy Depart
men that the battleship Maine was
not wrecked by the explosion of
smokeless powder. and that there was
absolutely no ground for drawing a
parallel between the cause OF the de-
struction of the American battleship
and that OF the .Liberte. OF the French
navy.
The report does not attempt TO fix
the actual cause of the explosion, but
II does say:
Whether or not examinat ton of the
wreck of the Maine shall disclose the
cause of her destruction. 1t is impos
sible that IT should indicate as the
cause the deterioration of smokeless
powder"
A convincing reason for this state
ment is that the complete records OF
the ordnance bureau show that there
was no smokeless powder aboard the
Maine when she blew up In addi-
ton. 1t is asserted that none of the
four serious accidents in the American
navy In recent years could be attributed
to the character of the powder.
