The armored cruiser Maryland will
shortly conduct steaming tests Of Ber-
ing river coal. These tests are the
first ever conducted of Alaskan coal
To get this ccsI the Navy Depart
ment and the bureau CT mines sent IN
expedition to Alaska and mined the
coal from the former Cunningham
claims OF the great Bering river coal
fields. The ccal had to be hauled by
sled over the winter ice and snow.
and further trans ported IN light-draft
barges down the Boring river to Con-
troIler bay
The tests will have an important
bearing on the supply CT coal to the
Pacific ports. Heretofore il has been
necessary to supply naval vessels on
that station with coal sent around
the Horn from Norfolk, Va. 1t also
will be of great interest in the con-
sideration of Senator Chamberlain
bill to build government railroads in
Alaska and open government coal
mines to supply fuel for those roads.
A second expedition is now mining
coal in the ether Alaskan coal fields

be made with this coal next year.

now enjoys a membership of 306, a
gain of 81 over last year. composed
of 263 resident, 40 nonresident / tenn

in membership is matched by an
equally prosperous condition Of our

very substantial gain in the club ass
cts was made during the past year,
their present value being $22,640.70

$3,057.61 This is an increase over
last year after, subtracting a Is per
cent depreciation. or $1445.15. fs
While referring to finances. men
ton cannot be overlooked of the fact
that the house committees report in
sdicates the almost negligible loss of
1855 in the cafe compared with a de-
felt of $451, 80 of last yean all of
which bespeaks the capable manage
ment of Mr. Hamilton. With this
fiourishing condition of the club It is
perhaps unnecessary to add that the
complaint box which was established
over year ago has been almost for
gotten. $50.
Twenty-seyen meetings were held
by your board of governors through.
out the year, the attendance averag-
ing ten, with no meeting postponed
for want of quorum.
To the entertainment committee
and its retiring chairman, Mr.. Ed

is to great extent due, as the work
of that committee was no small fac
tor in keeping up the interest in at

the result of systematic work tpsthis
end but through individual EFFORT, and

PARIS. - A young man carrying a
yellow leather bag entered Paris

demanded shelter for the night. He
stated that his name was Rudowsky,
that he had come from Germany, and
that he had exhausted his resources.
He was given food and a bed, and

GAINESVILLE, o., March 29.-The toll
of lives taken and property destroyed
by the relentless rush of the waters
of the Muskingum and Licking rivers
appears to have been underestima ed.
GAINESVILLE realizes that she has suf-
fered the greatest catastrophe in her
history. The situation now appears to
be we'll in hand. 1t will, however. be
impossible to determine the loss of
life until the waters recede from the
bottom country.
City officials declare that fully 200
persons have met their death in the
city and its environs, while the mill
tary who are in charge declare that
the number will not go over Is, The
food supply is almost exhausted. Only
one bridge OF the seven in the ely
across the Muskingum still remains
intact.
Food and medicines are the princi
pal requisites and until these come IN

Estimates of the flood death list in
Columbus continue to range from so
to 500, although these figures repre-
sented largely opinions of officials on
duty in the flood zone. The efforts
of the authorities have been directed
almost entirely TO relieving the suffer
ings of those marooned in houses in
the territory under water, and until
all OF these have been rescued the
search for the dead will not begin in
earnest. The waters receded slowly,
and the swirling currents abated a
trif1e, allowing the rescue boats a
wider area OF activity.
Officials of Chiilicothe have made a
thorough search of all flooded sec

The force of National Guardsmen
policing Dayton and other cities has
been considerably increased, and the
militiamen are in sufficient numbers
to cope with any disorder or looting,
of which there are several cases re-

Crippled train service in the flood

supplies are being rushed where they
are most required. There is no dam
