TO KEEP NAVY Chief Equipment Bureau Give Statistic of the Fuel Department ' AMOUNT GROWS TO 95,713 TOMS lUMda by that Figure tbe Total Pnr ! of Laii Files,! Tear Seereilee About Sam Stations They Are Pro posed Place Not to Be Mentioned. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. A strik ing illustration of the growth of the American navy is presented in the single statement in the annual report of Rear Admiral R. B. Bradford, chief of the equipment bureau of the navy, that he spent $2,273,111 the last fiscal for 324,108 tons of coal at an average cost of 7.01 per ton. The report says that Una was nearly 95,713 more tons of coal than was used during the pre ceding fiscal year. Ten years ago the coal consumption was 73,000 tons per annum. The domestic coal costs $G.20 per ton and the foreign coal, of which there were used 105,066 tons, cost $8.50 per ton. Admiral Bradford has scat tered American coal all over the world wherever suitable storage could be found. He has placed 12,000 tons at Yokohama and 2,000 tons at Pichilique Mex., and he has sent large quantities to Guam and to the Philippines. He carried 9,000 tons by water from the Atlantic coast to Mare island, Califor nia,w here it came into competition with English Cardiff coal. They have averaged the same in coast, viz $9.29 per ton, but at present, owing to the au&rcity of American freight vessels, the best Cardiff coal is considerably cheaper at Mare island. It is recom mended that two large steam 10,000 ton colliers be built to keep depots supplied in time of peace and to ac company the fleets in time of war. Summarizing the work accomplished at various coaling stations during the year the report takes up Cavlte and says that the bureau Is about to open bids for a 45,000-ton coaling station there. Efforts have been made to ob tain a Bite for a. coaling station at Cebu, but thus far without success. Coaling stations have been located at Port Isabella, Basalin island and at Poloc, Mindanao. A complete station has been estab lished at Yokohama, Japan, and it is now fully stocked with coal. Tho same statement is true at Pichilique, Mex., where through the courtesy of the Mexican government our coal and colliers have been admitted to the station without port duty or customs of any kind. In the West Indies a lit tle work has been done at San Juan on the coaling scale, but Admiral Bradford expresses regret that little progress has been made for securing other sites for coal depots in the West Indies. It is particularly "essen tial that some of the deep water ports of Cuba should be made available for this purpose, as the entire waters sur rounding Cuba are most important in a strategic sense. Estimates are sub mitted for improvements of coaling stations at most Atlantic ports, includ ing a modern plant at Norfolk.

VOTE GREATLY REDUCED Dearly Quarter of a Million Lest lu Ohio Tbao In 1900. CINCINNATI, 0., Nov. 11. With almost half of the official returns from the eighty-eight counties in Ohio re ceived, it is estimated that the total vote may be 100,000 less than for gov ernor two years ago, when 920,872 votes were cast, and almost a quarter of a million less than for president last year when the total note of Ohio was 1,049,121. Notwithstanding the increase in population during the past thirteen years, the total vote, will likely be much less than for president in 3888, when It was 841.941 and probably less than has been cast for governor since that time with a single exception. f IRST IN M'KINIEY'S MEMORY Minnesota Village Luveili at the Town of Tower, TOWER, Minn., Nov. 11.

CHANG DIES OF CARES Vexation Eegarding Treaty Charged Witb Causing Earl Li's Death. JAPAN WANTS TO KNOW ITS FORM Bossia Aasloas that the Maocbnriaa Treaty Be Secret Knipress Dowager Orders Publicity Hemorrhage Fats an End to Chinese Statesman. PEKIN, Nov. 9. A violent dispute with M. Paul Lessar, Russian minister to China, over the Manchurian treaty appears to have been the Immediate cause of the death of Li Hung Chang. The diplomatic confusion following this tragic climax has enabled Japan fur a moment to frustrate the designs of Russia. A fortnight ago the Japanese lega tion secured a reliable outline of the terms of the treaty and thereupon de manded that the Chinese plenipoten tiaries officially lay before them the text basing the demand upon the al legation that the Japanese intereti were Involved in any charge of the status of Manchuria. The Chinese plenipotentiaries re fused to comply with the demand Thereupon the Japanese government from Tokio communicated with the southern viceroys and induced them to use their Influence with the empress dowager against the treaty. In the meantime the empress dowager in structed Li Hung Chang to communi cate the treaty after certain modifica tions to the ministers of the powers and if they did not object to sign the same. Li Hung Chang visited M. Lessar and explained to him the instructions. The Russian minister strongly object ed to revealing the text of the treaty to the ministers of the other powers and a stormy Interview ensued. LI Hung Chang went home In a violent passion and had a hemorrhage, which the doctors attribute to the over-exertion of a weakened system. While these things were happening In Pekin, instructions were Issued CGui,tsrn5nding the order to mgr. This instruction came after 1J Hung Chang had become unconscious. When M. Lessar endeavored to have Li Hung Chang's official Eeal aJTixed to the treaty, Chou Fu, provincial treasurer, had arrived from Pao Ting Fu, and had taken charge of the seals as the temporary successor of Earl Li. The flag of the United States legation was the only one half-mabtel today. Musicians beat drums about the house of LI Hung Chang, LI Hung Chang's estate will remain intact for the use of his eldest son, who will provide for the other mem bers of the family. MAN MINT f 0L10WS MUTINY Armed Guardi Pursue ConvlcU From Leavenworth. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Nov. 9. Forty mounted guards are beating the country for a radius of five miles around 'the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth In search of twenty-six convicts who succeeded in es caping from the guards late yester day. The country is wild and rough and affdrds ample opportunity for es cape, and, as all the convicts are desperate men and armed, conflicts will doubtless result before they are captured. The net known result of the mutiny and the following fight with the guards was one convict killed and four guards shot or othewise hurt, but it is believed that many of the fleeing convicts received wounds from th1- bullets sent after them by pursuing guards. The dead: Fort Quinn, a desperate criminal from Indian Territory, who is believed to have been the ringlead er of the outbreak. . " Wounded: Joseph B. Waldruphe, prison guard, shot In Mrehead and breast; condition still critical; Ar thur Trel ford, "captain of the guard, shot in leg, not serious; C. E.

They propose to invrte the signatory powers to meet In conference for this object It is expected here that all the powers will accept the Invitation, but the conference could not well be held before spring.

Consul General Dickinson of Constantinople is greatly chagrined because the fact that he baa received a letter from Miss Ellen M. Stone leaked out. He says it is calculated to seriously ef fect, if not completely undo, the progress already achieved. On two previous occasions negotiations with the brigands who abducted the Amer ican missionary were abruptly broken oft by the former, owing to the pre mature disclosure of Its contents, which the bandits regarded as a breach of the understanding with them. Mr. Dickinson informed a repre sentative of the Associated Press that it Is absolutely necessary, if Miss Stone is ever to be released, that the course of the negotiations be kept se cret It is hopeless to expect the brigands to place confidence In'the ne gotiators when tbey find that in formation which they regard as secret Is constantly leaking out.
