NEED OF COALING STATIONS Wavy Compelled to Pay a Handsome Prloa in Many Foreign Ports , .SUPPLY IN Till HANDS OF Till ENGLISH In So mo Innlnncoi Admlrnl Mcade , During 111 * Itrcent CruHe , Ilnd It Ship ped to Him from the United Statin. WASHINGTON , April 28. The recent cx- porlonco of Admiral Meade In his crulso with a Bquadron through the waters of the gulf of Mexico and the Carrlbcan sea has served to again attract the attention of the officials of the Navy department to the necessity of acquiring at least one or two coallns sta tions In thcso waters for the use of the navy Although the cruise lasted only a few weeks the difficulty of procuring a sufllclctit supply 9f coal at different points and at reasonable prices has strikingly Indicated the trouble that may be expected when It shall bo neces sary to maintain for long periods of tlmo , or perhaps permanently , a nurnbT of cruising gun boats lu these waters. Such a contin gency Is being prepared for by the construc tion of a number of boats calculated for Just uch service. The sources of coal supply In that section are at present lately In British possession. The price Is alwavs high In omo ports , but it Is very much higher in othcra , being known to reach $15 per ton at Colon Now that the navy has rid Itself almost entirely cf sail power and that the hips rely altogether on steam , the amount of money oxprndel In coil Is assuming formidable proportions and the naval officials are using all of their ingenuity to keep dov/n this cx | > cnEe without Injury to the service. Perhaps for tlili reason a number of officers who had not regarded favorably the proposition to establish coiling HUtlons outside of the United States arc now he- coming convinced such a plan woulJ he de cldedly In the Interest of economy. In the case of Admiral Meadc's cruise , to prevent the paying of extortionate charges for coil , the navy adopted the plan of con tracting with on American llrm to deliver coal alongside the vessels of the squadron at some of the ports This plan workeJ well within certain limits and a considerable economy was crttctol But there were gnvc objections to the adoption of such a plan aa a permanancy. It requires thu arrangement of the vessels of the Equ dron with great exactness a long time In advance , and this would bo quite Impossible In tlmo of trou ble , when ships require to bc vvell supplied with coal , so as to bo able to make sudden movements MIGHT BE SOME OIUKCTION. There Is also reason to believe that while no objection has yet been made to this ex periment , the nations owning the ports whcro the coal Is transferred to our cruisers will not permit the practice to continue without tint collecting of heavy duties on coal , and up to this time no thoroughly satis factory method has been found by which the coal can be trans-shipped on the open sea But asldo from these purely economical rea sons for thu establishment of coaling sta tions , a much stronger ono is found in the fact that In time of war , under the ncutralltj laws , our ships would be excluded from the privilege of coaling In foreign ports and woulJ thus bo absolutely prevented from hos- tlio operations If they did not fall easy vic tims to an enemy better equipped with bases of coal supply H Is said by naval officers that the com mon belief that these coaling stations would bo very expensive to acquire and would ro qulfo to bo strongly fortified to defend them also at great expense. Is without real foun datlbn Some ot these , officers vvho have boon Riving much attention to this subject era pf tha opinion that the United States cau readily arraigo for the acquisition o coallng.aUitlous from almost all the countries along the Cnrrlbein sea or the gulf o Moilco Nothing in the way of equipment Is necessary except a landing wharf , am ono man to watch the place would sulllcc In case of v. ar , If the station was near enough to the tceno of hostilities to make 1 neajssary , U could bo protected by the ver > ships that would be require ! to use the coal If It was distant from the sccuo and no necessary to the service at that time I could be left to take its chances , for tin enemy would scarcely find It profitable to bond ships to capture a coal pile , whlcl could ba readily replenished at any con vcnlont lime. It Is believed Secretary Herbert Is giving tils | subject attention and that when con Kcosi convenes , he may recommend to tha bo3y that this government bo clothed will the necessary power to acquire suitable site for coaling stations.

TRUMBULL BOT FRIGHTENED Bj Building a Little Rind Gould Bo Inde pendent of the Overland , MIGHT TIE UP WITH THE BURLINGTON Union 1'nclflc linn it * Yet Maito No Move DENVER , April 28. Although Receiver and General Manager Dickinson of the Union I'Aclflo has had an order to discontinue con- ncctlons with the Julesburg branch of the Union Pacific , Denser & Gulf tystem , It has joonvlthheld pending a conference with Re ceiver Trumbull. The complaint of the Union Pacific Is that the Qulf has been flirting- too much with the Burlington through the con nection of the Julesburg line with the Chey- cnno branch of the Burlington at Sterling1 To punish Mr. Trumbull for his alleged dis regard of the former close relations the Union Pacific and the Gulf , Mr. Clark had concluded to send all Denver passenger business around by way of Cheyenne , and. by withdrawing from the Julesburg connec tion , leave Mr. Trumbull with ICO miles of track1 segregated from any other railroad ex cept Its divorcee , the Union Pacfflc. Receiver Trumbull sterns not to have been greatly disturbed by this threat. The reason Is said to be that by building ten miles of trade between Greclcy and Kersey , or Orr station , he can connect the Orln Junctlon- Chcyenne branch of the Gulf road with the Julesburg line , and at Sterling the Gulf can make connection with the Burlington road. The llurllnnton branch from Holdrcge to Cheyenne would In turn relieve the Orln- Cheyenne line from Its present position at the mercy of the Union Pacific. That such a combination with the Burlington would be agreeable to both lines there can bono ques tion. The coal which the Gulf commands IB of the highest Importance1 to the Burling ton , and , as a feeder for coal , Iron and agri cultural products , the Gulf would become , under such a combination , a most powerful ally to a road which terminates at Dsnver. That the Burlington would deal with the Gulf without disturbing Its amicable relations with the Denver & Rio Grande Is entirely possible , and It Is known that It has been coquetting with the former ally1 of the Union Pacific with an eye to the very combination the proposed order of Mr. Clark may bring about at any time. Mr. Trumbull Is attending to the construc tion of the now line from Pueblo to Trini dad , which , when completed , will unite the line to the south He has repeatedly refused to talk about the proposed action o ( the Union Pacific toward the Julesburg branch , but consoles himself with the reflection that the aggressive company cannot "throw us off . the track , " which significant remark may be open to many Interpretations The con struction of the ten miles from Groeley would at least place the Gulf In an Independent position between the Burlington and Union Pacific and strengthen the line so much that the cost of Its construction , even In these time ! ! ! , would be but a mere bagatelle com pared with the results accomplished. t'OK TllK bUT.JIIKKS 11U31K Commandant of the South Dnkotn Institu tion strict on thu InnntoR.

Mitchell's natty dcpartrure was occasioned JOT his entanglement with an adventuress. rf H Mitchell Is nor | 26 years old , and up to this time has borne an excellent reputation , having been employed by various firms , from whom he has always been able to obtain good refer ences. This Is thought to be his tint mis step. He became acquainted with a. woman known as Valentino Moore some tlmo ago , and they soon became quite Intimate. On Tuesday afternoon she telephoned Mitchell to meet her at the postofflco corner , nnd ho arranged to meet her as soon as business hours were over. According lo the agreement they met at the appointed place shortly after 0 o'clock. They ; were together the greater part of the evening , during which time she let him know' that she must have money In order that an exposure of her condition might not be made Ho disclaimed having any ready funds , but the demand was made so strong that he began looking around for some way to get out of Ihe threatened trouble , and , making the woman n promise to sec her again soon , they parted. When Mitchell left the office he had In his possession the receipts of the day , less the deposit which he had made In the after noon. The ready cash In his pockets amounted to about $90. Following the old adage that "the sight of means makes III deeds done , " ho did not take tlmo lo go after his personal effects at the Vienna hotel , but took the earliest train out of the city , hav- Infi In view the ono Idea that ho must get out of harm's reach before the morrow. When ) the manager of the oil company returned - turned on Wednesday morning Mitchell could not be found. Inquiry brought to light the fact that be had not been at the hotel at any time during the night previous , and that the proprietor of the hotel was out the board bill , which amounted to near $40. Mitchell's friends are of the opinion that he had no Intention of doing anything wrong when he left the ofllco on the night that he had the engagement with the Moore woman , and that through the threats of the woman he became so frightened that ho took the first means within bis reach to get away from the scenes of Ills troubles. He was well liked by all who knew him and has made many friends since he came to this city. The homeof his parents is In Appleton - ton , Minn. , and his father Is a well known traveling dry goods salesman of St. Paul Mitchell Is well known In Dubuque and Lamars , la , and also In St. Louis and St. Joseph , Mo. , In each of which places ho has resided. Mitchell Is under bond In the National Trust company of Kansas City to the amount of $1,000. The bond company has been noti fied , but no warrant has been Issued for his arrest , and as yet no trace of his whereabouts has been found. CUTTING 'OFF ' SUPPLIES.

If there Is a sudden exodus of men from Omaha In certain quarters nnd a great fever evinced for Isaac WnUon's favorite sport , a ready explanation c now be offered for the ap pearance of > he mania. The county has cut oft Its mipilKit ° f. bacon and the county pen sioners must flsh Jor their meat or go with out , , "Tho commissioners , " said Mr. Jenkins , "are cutting off the supplies at the charity store at a rapid rate. Only the cases of extreme need , such as the old and Infirm , will for n much longer period be allowed to get anything of the county. We will not give out any more meat.

LcQrangc , president of the Hoard ot Fire Commissioners , testified that ho had been Investigating the charge that a corrup tion fund had been raised In the department , and that ho vras satisfied of the truth of the story. Ho said his suspicions had also been confirmed by Battalion Chief Croker and Chief McCabe , who committed suicide last week. President LeGrange said ha was pos- Itlvo McCabe committed sulcldo to avoid be coming an Informer before the Investigation , ClI I ! had In Ills hand a memorandum of things McCabe had confessed to him. McCabe told him tlmt three years ngo a fund of J2.GOO was lalsed at $3 each from the firemen and given to Assemblyman McManus to Influence legislation. In January , 1893 , the officers of the department put up $23 apiece nnd gave It Into the hands of Senator Ahoarn to have their salaries Increased by the llglslutiirc , In 1S94 the firemen raised a corruption fund of $2,600 , and this year , according to a state ment made by McCabc- President LcGrango before he committed suicide , they raised a fund of $0,000 Fireman Daniel J. Conway testified that As sistant Foreman J. S. Smith had told him on ' the morning after the amendment for of ficers' salaries had been Introduced "thai Ihey had already $0,000 placed , and that the bill would stay In the committee on cities In the senate until we put up the necessary no.ooo. " "Did Smith tell you who was handling the money In Albany ? " Ho ( aid Mr. Lou Payne was handling the money Uiere. He said tlmt Mr. Platt was the man who had told them to go ahead " Fireman A. II Schroder also corroborated the testimony of Conway , even to the mention of Lou Payne , Mr. Platl and Ihe $10,000. He told me. " said Ihe witness , "Uhat Payne was acting for Mr. Platt.
