THEFRENCH NAVAL DISASTER
A FATALITY ALMOST HISTORY OF
NAVIES.

the crew of a torpedo boat. Twenty
seven men were killed by the sub
mersion of the submarine Pluviose
last year.
Shortly after fire was discovered
just before o'clock in the morning
there was a series of four explosions
at close intervals Then came the
fatal explosion, the terrific reverbera-
ton of which shattered the windows
.of the whole city and was heard for
a radius of many miles. The Liberte
was rent asunder. Her bows were
thrown high in the air, men were
hurled skyward amid a shower of
iron and steel, she slowly settled
down, and in 10 minutes nothing was
visible but the top works.
For few minutes after the final
explosion an intense black cloud of
smoke lowered over the harbor.
When it shifted a terrible spectacle
met the eyes of the people of Toulon,
who, awakened by the first explosion,
had hurried to the shore.
Some idea of the violence of the
explosion may be had from the fact
that the officer commanding the gun
merry schoolship Foudre, anchored
NEARLY two miles away, was killed in
his own quarterback by piece OF
she'll hurled from the Liberte. The
bugler Of the Liberte was hurled
through the air to the deck of the
Republique, where he was picked VI
badly hurt. In his hands he still
held the bugle with which he was
sounding the alarm.

The Salina Union thinks 1t has
exploded the theory that Lee Davis,
cousin Of Mrs. Chas. Dodge OF
this city, is dead. Here is what 1t
says:
What is this Lee Davis mystery, or
is 1t mystery at all?
Rumor says 1t is. So do the abb
lene papers, and relatives Of Davis
living at Abilene and Enterprise.
But Mrs. C. s. Mcdaniel, living at
No. sos West Prescott street, says 1t
isn't a mystery at all.
Mrs. Mcdaniel is a sister Of Lee
Davis, As proof that Davis isn't
dead. she has two letters and two
post cards, received from Davis
since the story Of his death was cir
culated. Mr.. Davis writes that he is
all right, In Oklahoma City, and GER
tainly seems very lively for a corpse.
The first of these letters is the one
previously reported In the Union,
which Abilene relatives denied. Mr..

TN THE FREAK HIGHWAY.
Two More Travellers Are Headed
Toward Abilene.

The freak cross country travellers
are already starting out on their
journeys and Abilene may expect a
visit fro ma number of them this
fall. Some will carry flag, others
may push wheel barrow or lead
donkeys or balance an umbrella or
anything to attract attention and
make an easy, lazy living.
Two Of these who will start soon
are Private Medos Gravel Of Co. A.
Twentieth Cavalry who leaves New
York February and is due in San
Francisco in 12O days and Paul
Sorg, the famous horseman who will
leave New York April /.
Private Gravel will carry forty-six
pounds Of equipment on his back on
the way during the march, and in
addition will carry his Springfield
rifle. He will wear the regular field
uniform of olive drab cloth. On his
back will be the Hartman pack,
weight-saving device, invented by
Capt. F. c. Hartman OF Company @
Twelfth regiment, a cousin OF the
late railway magnate. In 1t will be
extra shoes and clothing, a shelter
tent, blanket, poncho. mess kit, ra-
tions and all the other property pre-
scribed by Uncle Sans regulations
for his soldiers.

Did Ghosts Write
the Davis Letters

says he can show the letter to people
from Missouri, or any who doubt the
affair.
Since that time he has received
two postcards from Davis, and last
week came another letter.
In this last letter, which Mr.. NC
Daniel has in his possession, Davis
SAYS he Is still in Oklahoma City.
He has not yet found work, and
thinks he will go to the western
coast early in the spring.
He said not word about West,
the Mexican, who was reported to
Eayo murdered him.
-Four letters, written by Davis him
self, since the affair, and a letter re-
ceived by M. H. Townsend for whom
Frank West worked, saying West
died q natural death in the hospital,
and that he confessed to nothing
would undoubtedly convince most
juries that Lee Davis is still as much
allVe as he was, when he left Salina.

The morning session of the board
of county commissioners today had
been rather dull, and time was drag
ging heavily. Suddenly County At
torney c. e. Rugh, who was gazing
abstractedly out of the window,
dreaming of fat fees, spied a long
flowing gray beard, streaming out
on each side of its owners face, as
he came rapidly down Buckeye av-
enue in an automobile. Then Mr..
Rugh sat up straight in his chair,
the dreamy look fled from his eyes,
and the assembled commissioners
were startled by the sharp exclama-i
tion noted above. Il

Today ct loon the "dead line"
was drawn in the house against The
introduction Of bills. Bill 900 was in
troduted yesterday. OF that number
1is have been killed and AZ passed.
There are is bills on special orders
and 1S9 on general orders.
The senate passed the Porter bill
providing that baths be installed at
tho entrance of all coal mines for
the use of miners, and the Huffman
bill compelling the installation of
party telephone lines in 4 u coal
mines.
The senate passed the Milligan bill
providing $4,000 for state tuber-
culosis hospital.
y -
The third week Of the legislative
session has passed and no admins
tration measures have been sent to
the governor to sign. About 1000
bills have been introduced in both
houses and there will be a couple
of hundred more at least. Over
a hundred bills have been killed in
the house and nearly that may have
died in the senate. Preliminary
skirmishing only has been INDUCED
in over the more important measures
and 1t is still more or less guess
work in predicting the fate of ad-
ministration bills.
The big fight of the session will
come over the utilities bill. That
much is certain. The bill will pass
the house, and it will be amended
in a more or less degree. The sem
ate may not present the admins
tration utilities bill at all, but use
that one by Carey Of Hutchinson in
stead.
1t is doubtful If the initiative and
referendum will pass at all; that is,
in any kind of practical form to
suit the administration.

The recall bill has been recon-
mended for passage in the house
and is likely to become law in its
original administration form.
y y
All the freak bills have been killed
80 far as fast as they have come be-
fore either house. Many beneficial
bills have been passed or recon-
for passage. The committees
have been working late at night for
a week past and many of the i'm
portant committees are in session
day and night. Night sessions OF
the house will start this week, and
from now on 1t will be steady
and heartbreaking grind to the fin
Ish. The big appropriation bills will
come in this week, and also the con-
stitutional amendment resolutions.
When the house will will clear decks
and prepare for action on the utilities
bill. That bill alone will take sew
sral days.
