Springside stockade, whence later NEED MORE DRY DOCKS. Importance of Better Docking Fa cilities Pointed Out. Washington, D. C (Special.) In his anrt'itf report ' to the secretary of the navy. Chief Endicott of the bureau of yards and docks makes a strong point of the necessity for ample docking fa iiiiies, not tnly for small vessels, but for the ' battleships upon waters near Key West. He said this place was. during the war, and may be in the fu ture, an important base of naval oper a:ions. able strategists having pro nounced Key West and Dry Tortugas the key to the Gulf of Mexico. The small showing we make in dock accommodations is very marked as rrcmran d with the other naval powers of the world, and although the expend iture for dry docks in the United States wili be large in the next few years. Chief Endicott says he cannot fail to ask' a continuance of the liberal policy Ir. this particular until the country is well fitted for handling its fleet in the dock yards without compelling vessels to perform long sea voyages to each decking port. Th estimates submitted for the next year provide for only one new dock, vhith is to be, of the largest type, con structed of granite and concrete, and located at the Norfolk navy yard. Under the head of coaling stations the report tells what has been done toward establishing such a statian at Pago PaKO. on the island of Tutua. Samoa, fho-ving that the United States has ac quired fifteen acres of land at Swim ming Point and Observatory Point, and.- jarre a body of blacks armed with Win clusters.

Peace Commissioner's Quarters. The commission occupies two salons In what is known as the Galerie des Fetes, in the ministry of foreign affairs. These rooms are already nationally his toric, having been occupied over forty . years ago by the congress of Pari?, and only a few years ago by the Bering sea commission. The ceilings are at a great height, and the walls are hung with red damask. The ceiling frescoes dates from Louis Philippe's time, and the furniture is in the fashion prevail- " Ing during the reign of Louis XV. From the windows there is a charming view. "in the middle of one room is a huge table covered with green cloth. Ranged around this table are the chairs of the ('commissioners, and at either end the "thrones" of the two presidents, ex Secretary Day and Senor Montero Rios. The commission decided that its joint sessions should be under dual control, and of course, should be absolutely se cret. A generous buffet is spread in the adjoining apartment, and is served by a head waiter and four assistants. All communication with the rest of the pal- ace has been cut off. and at the en trance to the salons' of the commission- ; ers there is an antechamber to accom- modate two messengers and an usher. v When our commission meets separate !y. the sessions are held in large, sun ny and well-furnished apartments on the ground floor of the Hotel Conti nental, not on the Rue Castigllone side, Ibut near the private entrance at the also from the office by the corridor and back of the house. One reaches them 1 directly by this private entrance, and court surrounding the .great reading room. Two policemen guard the com- k mission's safe night and day. and the the same, watchfulness and secrecy Is manifested by all of the commissioners, and indeed by all the aids and assist ants down to the smallest fraction of an assistant.

(Special ) At this morning's session of the . national grange, delegates were reported from LCalifornia and Maryland. The reports of state masters were presented ana addresses were made by visiting pat rons for Colorado, Vermont. Ohio and New Hampshire. A resolution was of fered calling for the preparation of a history of the. granges of the United States. This afternoon a public meet ing was held, at which addresses were mads by local authorities and respomd ed ta by national grange officers. Santiago de Cuba. (Special.) San Luis was the scene last night of a fatal encounter between a rural guard and Intoxicated soldiers of the Ninth lm munes, the Twenty-third Kansas and the Eighth Illinois, in which Sergeant Rafael Ferer. chief of the provincial mounted police; one guard, one negro of the Ninth immunes. Jose Ramon, a planter; Emilio Betteran and a child were killed. The disturbance was caused by an attempt of the soldiers to steal a hog belonging to the Cubans, who protested. It was pay day and a large number of the soldiers wee intoxicated, all Joining- in the fight. Sergeant Ferer and his men. in reply to a call, soon reached the house where the thieves were, but they escaped and were joined by twenty companions, arm ed with Springfield rifles, taken from the camp contrary to orders. The fight began in a house near the Norma estate, continuing on the way toward the house of the manager of the estate. Ferer's companions barricaded themselves, while Ferer remained out side, expostulating with the negroes and trying to persuade them to desist. He was shot through the head, dying after staggering to the door and ordering his men to defend themselves and the lives of the people on the estate. The police fired from cover, killing one soldier and wounding several. Two of the policemen were shot while at tempting to escape. Ramon and Bet teran were shot while trying to disperse the soldiers. The officers cf the regiments d?ny that the soldiers did the shooting, against ncontrovertible evidence to the con trary. General Wood and Captain Beacon visited San Luis this morning, making an Investigation. They found that the wounds were made by 45-caliber bul lets. They arted promptly, offering a reward of $1,000 in gold for the disclos ure of the Identity of the men implicat ed in the shooting. General Wood returned today, cabling the details to Washington tonight, with recommendations that Immediate pun ishment should follow. This Is the first affair of the kind in the province, ar.d the American officers express the deepest regret and condem nation for" the action of the negroes. General Wood told me the negro regi ments had been a constant source of trouble since his arrival. He had never regarded them as part of the military strength of the army in the province on account of their bad discipline and irresponsible conduct. The Cubans feel keenly the presence of the negroes In the town, where there have been many acts of robbery and bullyism. General Wood says Sergeant Ferer was discharging the duty of his office and was deserving of the greatest of praise for his effort to put down the disturbance. There Is much excitement among the Cubans, and General Wood's prompt action is approved. Kidnaps Her Cnlld. Cleveland. O. (Ppecial ) A new chap ter was added to the celebrated Barnes- McGowan affair here today. The 7-rear-old daughter of Mrs. Barnes was kidnaped by a woman, supposed to be her mother, and immediately taken out of the city. They were traced to the union station, but beyond that nothing is known. The child has been living with her grandfather, who was appoint ed her guardian. Subsequently it was learned that the woman and child had taken the 1 o'clock train on the Lake Shore road for the east. The police immediately began telegraphing police officials all along the route to arrest the woman, and expect to have them in custody before twenty hours have passed. Mean time Mr. Barnes has sworn out a war rant charging Mrs. McGowan with kid naping. The police characterize the case as or.e of the boldest cases of kidnaping which has ever occurred in this city. At 5 p. m. the abductors werfc inter cepted on a Lake Shore train at Erie, Pa., and placed under arrest. They were Mrs. Frank J. McGowan, Mrs. Dr. R. H. Wynn and Frank D. McGow an. With them was tne cniid, Kciiin. When accosted by the detective Mc Gowan shoved a roll of bills at him and told him to go away, but the offi cer was obdurate. The three prisoners were arraigned before Alderman Mc- Andrews and the case held open until tomorrow, bail being given. The Mc- Gowans have been figuring among their friends in good Erie society the last two weeks, McGowan making arrange ments to buy a rubber factory near the cltv. A detective left Cleveland for Trk tonight, accompanied by William H. Barnes, the grandfather and legal guardian of the child. Omaha. Neb. (Special.) Lizzie Mrisi- ner cf Battle Creek. Neb., arrived in the city last evening to search for her sister, Minnie Meissner, a girl 15 years of age, who ran away from home about three months ago. She fell in love with a young man, but her father forbid her going with him and she left Battle Creek. , The young man did not go.with her. but has received letters from her frequently since her departure. Her father did not care to seek for her. but her sister, Lizzie, when she learned that the youn man was receiving letters signed Fay Umphenhauer. concluded that Minnie was the correspondent, and decided to discover her whereabouts If possible. From what L she learr ed she concluded that Minnie had come to Omaha. To the police she told her Ftory last night and gave a descrip tion or ner sister. Washington. D. C. (Special.) Nego tiations on the proposed reciprocity treaty between this government and Great Britain relative to the British West Indies have come to a hait. with no present indication that the treaty will be concluded in the near future. The negotiations had proceeded to an advanced stage last spring, it being hoped that the signature would be ap pended before congress adjourned, Jn order that the senate might have an opportun ty to ratify. Since then, how ever, obstacles have developed and th negotiations which were ao far alcn; have lapsed into inaction. It was Thanksgiving time, nearly thirty years ago. To the ordinary in habitant of that portion of this coun try where I thn dwelt the n?ason was very much like other sjasrni of au tumnal fruition; there nas nothing' in the earth, the skies, or the waters that gave to this period any peculiarity which would distinguish it from the similar gladsome period of any other year, past or to come. But there was something that made this Thanksgiving season very peculiar in my eyes. For some time the wnole world had seemed to me irm-ated by the knowledge that snm-nh i:;.; vb about to happen which h;t nvcr "i:p pened before and which co,:'.'l not, by any possibility, happen asT'.lri. I had always loved the Thar kspriv?rj: season. To be sure, much ''-f tli- b; i.it ness and color in which the landscape revelled in October was lot. bur. the rich browns cf the oaks, the heavy greens of the pines and the cedars, lighted up here and there by some lat hangmg sumac leaves or red lenin? ivy. with hiil and dale gently softened by the mists of Indian Sur.im.ir. made up a picture In which I delighted as much as I did in th3 beauties of any oth?r season. But in this year the late autumn fo liage was much finer than I had ever known it before. Van Dyke never drc-amcd of such browns as I now saw. ar.d the curtains of distant mist seemed ever about to rise upon visions of even " greater beauty than those which then entranced me. I had always lik?d the first keen winds which had come to us ns the avant couriers of winter, makincr it delightful to walk and be out -A doors, and also agreeable and sati-factory to go Into the house. But this year there was a sparkling spire in the air whiih it would have been impossible f-r ntlur people to understand, even if they had perceived it. I knew it was there. I understood its origin, and "I did not care a snap of my fingers whether or not anybody else knew anything about it. In those days, after the regular pe riods of meteoric showers, there usd to be a good many falling stars which appeared to be left over 'rom ih2 grand display, and I had always b-ea accustomed to watch for these with a great deal of interest, for the reason that I generally forgot to tro out of doors on the regular star-fallinf? nights, and. therefore, was naturally anxl"m to make the best of what was left of the show. This year the few stars that re warded my vigilance by falling in tlie latter part of November wer? excep tionally fine meteors. They glistened more brightly, they scintillated, they moved slowly, as if they wanted to let n;e know that they knew of something as well as I did. The birds rt that autumn were of particularly bright plumage I remem ber that they sang very well, and al though I am not positive that those who were in the habit cf migrating to the south in the late autumn delayed their Journey this year, these cf thm who d.d remain made themselves very I conspicuous ana agreeable. It was a great year for rabbits. In earlier days I had given much atten tion to trapping these little creatures, but seldom took much int?rst in the sport until the snow had covered the earth and thereby induced game crea tures of varlo"? kinds to cast their eyes upen the delicate morsels exposed in traps by men and beys. But now. although I did not care to trap the rabbits. I was charmed to ?aze upon them as they skipped about on the edge cf the wocds wagging their little tails and sitting up locking from side to side, with their little noses nervously trembling, while their long ears waved in the breezes. The rabbits' fur seemed very long and fine that year, and I am sure that its color must have been ex traordinarily well adapted for the adornment of human youth and beauty. I do net kr.ow that there were great crops of corn that year, or that pump kins had gilded to a greater extent than usual the brown, denuded fields, but I felt the farmers ought to be very happy people. To me the country was pervaded with an atmosphere cf richness and un surpassed fulfillment. I knew that the apple crop had been very good: at least I knew that the tree3 had borne some remarkably good fruit, because I had tried a good deal of it. and it Iiad never possessed to a greater extent the Juiciness and sub-acid flavor of which 1 was so fond. It was also a great year for chest nuts, and a very poor one for squ'rrel3. I do not wish it to be supposed that I was not. and am not. fond of rquirre's. I like them better now thar. T u;.d tj in my earlier days, although they are as active competitors in the hjsinei3 of chestnut gathering as when I svas younger. But in this Thanksgiving Kea son cf which I speak the squirrel 4 must have been fewer or lazier, for I made no complaints about the scarcity of chestnuts. If I remember rightly, those I ate were remarkably fire, either one great chestnut in a single hull, cr a fairly large one with two little ones which did not interfere with the expansion of the fittest. There was a peculiarity about the weather of that November: very nften the skies were real'y cloudy and ray and the rain sometimes came down with steady persistence, while the cold and penetrating winds made people think of heavy overcoats before tneir appointed time. But these d,ys of bad weather had little effect upon me cr upon my spirits, it did not occur to me that the melancholy days had come, and as for their being the saddest r,f the year, that was Impossible. At that time some sort of a sun was always shining. If it were not the ordinary sun about which our earth revolves, it was a particular orb which existed for my especial satisfaction, lt sometimes even shone at night, after I hd gone to ted that is, if I happened to be awake. But it was not only nature that was more than usually agreeable: the peo ple of this world, so. far as I knw them, were very pleasant, rmarkamy so. I co r.ot remember quarr"iing wi:n a living soul during the whole of that November. It seems as though my in tercourse with my fellow brings "'a unusually genial. In regard to o'jii progress and the steady bettemnrt of the human race I was an ardent optl mist. Even people I knew as bln? not very pleasant of manner or Intelligent of SDeech seemed then enod company. Politics did not trouhie me at an. I suppose a good many people vot?d for the wrongman. but I paid no attention to their mlseulded actions. It was scarcely possible there cou'd b any candidates for office who did not pos sess some virtues, and a strong d'soo sition in the direction of general ol truism made me wish well to all cood people who hd been selected to ad minister the affairs of township, county or state. There was truly something excep tional In this Thanksc-ivinsr reason. Other people may not have not'oe.i It. but It Impressed itslf most .f-r-t'Mv upon me. ITow could It be otherwise? It was at that time that my first book was published. MEN WHO DYE THEIR HAIR. f JCLAND'S NEW ISLANDS. jktfws by the AuotraMan mail tell of "It would SUrorise VOU."
