W.v&IIINOTON, Nov. 10. A striking II
lustration of the growth of the American
navy Is iro-cnted in the single statement
In the h nutial report of Hear Admiral It.
II. P.radford, thief of tho equipment bu
rrru of tho navy, tlin: hp spent $2,23,111
tho lust fln-al year for 324,108 tuns ot coal
nt an average cost of $7.01 per ton. The
report -ays that this was nearly '..,713 moru
tons of coal than nan I'sed during the pre
ceding fiscal year. Ten years ago the roul
consumption was 7.1,000 tons per annum.
Tho domestic roal costs $6.20 per ton and
the foreign coal, of which there were used
1((5,0;ii tono, cost $S.:.0 per ton. Admiral
tJIradforil has scattered American coal all
over the world wherever suitable storngo
coujd be found. He has placed 12,000 ton"
at Yokohama and 6,000 tons at rtchlllquc,
Mex,, ami he has vent large quantities to
Cltmni and to the Philippines. He carried
0,00(1 tons by wnter from the Atlantic coast
to Marc. Island, California, where It como
Into competition with English Cardiff coal.
They havn averaged tho same In coast, viz
$!'.2S per ton, but nt present, owing to tho
scarcity of American freight vessels, the
best Cardiff coal Is considerably cheaper
nt Mare Islam). It Is recommended that
two largo steam 10.000-ton colliers be built
to keep depots supplied In tlmo of pence
nnd to nccompnny the fleets In tlmo of war.
Where vv Mtntlnii Are.
Summnrlxlng tho work accomplished at
Various coaling stntlons during tho year tho
report takes up Cavltc and says that the
Imreau Is about to open bids for a 4D.000
ton con II UK station there. KITortB have
been ininle to obtain a site for n coaling
Vtntlon at Cebif, hut thus far without suc
cess. Coaling stations havo been located
m l'ort lsnbelln, Dtisnlln Island nnd at Pol
loc, .Mindanao.
A complete station has been established
nt Yokohama. Japan, mid It Is now fully
rtocked wlpi coal. Tho same statement Is
true at Plchlllque, Mex., where through tho
courtesy of the Mexican government our
col and enTIfeTs'liuvo been Admitted to thn
dint Ion without port duty or customs of any
kind. In tho West Indies a little work hn
beo.i done nt San Juan 'on the coaling scale,
lint Admiral Ilradford expresses regret
that llttln progress has been made for se
curing other sited for coal depots In the
West Indies. It Is .particularly essential
that some of the deep water ports of Cuba
nhould be mndo available for this purpose,
its the entire waters surrounding Cuba aro
most Important In a strategic sense. Es
timates aio submitted for Improvement of
coaling stntlons at most Atlantic ports, In
cluding n modern plant at Norfolk.
Some OthrrM Are .Secret.
Admiral Ilradford specifically says: "As
tho department Is nwnre, efforU aro being
made to establish other coal depots at Im
portant localities which It Is deemed un
wise to discuss In a report of a public
charnrtcr."
Admiral Ilradford says Iltllo about his
Tavorito project In a TrnnBpaclflc tele
graph cable, rontcntlng himself with the
Htatomcnt that the bureau Is now In pos
erosion of all data required so far as sur
veys are concerned to lay this cable. In
tho samo connection ho renews his recom
mendation for a careful examination of thn
raclflo ocean west of tho Hawaiian Islands
to locate dangers to navigation, lie rec
ommends that additional hydrographlc of
fices be opened nt Manila and nt Pensacoln,
'la.
The report says that tho subject of wire
less telegraphy was followed carefully dur
ing the war, but it docs not appear nec-etf-ary
to adopt nny particular sytom at
rresent, as It Is advisable to have no moro
apparatus than that necessary for Instruc
tion, As most naval powers have adopted
omc form of wireless telegraphy for their
whips, It is believed from the reports re
ceived that none is satisfactory. It was
clearly shown during tho International
yacht races that tho difficulties of "Inter
ferrnco" could not bo overcome with the
npparatus tbon used.

CAPETOWN, Nov. 10. Dr. J. W. Smart,
commissioner of public works of Cape Col
ony, In the course of a letter to the papers
here dealing with the mission of the gen
cral agent of the Cape government railway,
"harlcs Illatterman Elliott, and his cor
londence with the Ilrltlsh presf, says,
Elliott has cabled that his total pur
nd orders for the Cape railways
pi. ,.t merlcit do not exceed 600. Or.
Snia, ids:
"The approximate value of the rolling
stock ordered during the last two years Is
i:i,0:,0,000, ot which Hrltlsh firms hvo
supplied about 000,000. Ordcra for rail
way stores, apart from rolling -lock, from
July. 1000, to September, 1001, aggregate
005,000, of which flreat Hrltaln supplied
8W,657."
In a, slntcmcnt accompanying the letter
the commissioner of public works compares
at length the experience of the Cape gov
ernment In connection with the cent nnd
tlmo of delivery In the caso of orders
placed In Great llrltaln with the experi
ence with orders placed In the United
States. He shown that the Americans sup
plied locomotives within ten months,
whereas the Hrltlsh manufacturer required
from twelve to eighteen In spite of tho
offers of a premium for delivery In nd
vance of the contract time. He also shows
that the American engines were satisfac
tory and tho prices far below tho Hrltlsh,
An order qf rails for n light lino was
placed on the continent at 4 13 shillings
per ton, tho lowest Hrltlsh tender being
1 4 shillings I pence. Trucks to the
value of 2,630 were obtained In Hungary
at about one-half the price of the lowent
Hrltlsh tender.
The aaent general was authorized to give
the Hrltlshers it preference of 10 per cent,
but not unless they wero prepared to meet
the requirements of prompt dollvcry and
reasonable prices In comparison with
others and to adapt themselves to the
colony's needs and conditions n they wero
met In the United States and on the con
tinent. It Is suggested that tho superces
slou of Mr. Elliott will not mean trade to
thn Hrltlsh.

uter. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 10. An nntl-vlce
crusndo Is ob In this city. A committee
of threo which has beon making an Investi
gation for several weeks made Its report
tonight. The report brlnge out a variety
of alleged disregardn fnr.tho law. It Is based
on a written and somewhat extended state
ment prepared by an unnamed agent who
made n thorough canvass ot the city with
referenco to the subject under considera
tion. Tho charges are mado that the city
council disregards tho law by granting
saloon licenses for part of the yenr with
corresponding license fee. Tho report al
leges that thirty-two wide-open gambling
houses nro doing business and' that there
are In opcrntlon lit! snloonB that are con
nected with questionable resorts. The re
port exonerates tho pollco from receiving
revenue from tho alleged wholesale disre
gard of the law.
Tho committee was nppnlntctl by the Min

tigate the moral condition of thn city and
consisted of Ilev. It. H. Keller, Pilgrim
Congregational church; Nov. E. A. Cutler,
Westminster Presbyterian church, and Ilev.

up the subject today and from n dozen pul

about a fortnight no nt tho vlllngo of

Justinnblo by the known detcrmlnotlon of
so.ne members of the bnnd, particularly
Captain Ynnnc Sandansk), to kill Miss
Stone and her companion as soon as th"
ransom Is received, owing to tho fact that

Vlejo. dated November f. say that tho re
port from President Castro to his brother,
Celestlno Castro, at San Cristobal, to the
effect that the United Slates government
"Insists upon mcdintlng between Venezuela
nnd Colombia" caused the greatest excite

General Urlhe-Urlbn and General Modesto
Castro Immeillntrly set out for Snn Cristo

Urlbo-Urlbo refused to bellevo tho report,
declaring that he had no fears nn to tho
fut u ro of tho liberal cause, because Pres
ident Cnstro had given him a castiron
plcdgo not to forsake him.
"Should President Cnstro provo untrue
to, tho liberal cause," exclaimed General
Urlbe-Urlbe, "the result would be ruin.
Tho war will enter Colombia before Christ
mas." Thero Is considerable feeling ngalnst the
Castro family among tho Columbian lib

of a widespread rumor tha' Celestlno Cas
tro, who Is commander-in-chief nt San

across tho frontier by means of alleged
raids of Colombian conservatives. During
one of these raids a dozen soldiers wero
killed on both sides. It is said that tho
cattlo change hands at n prearranged price

Principal Wntrrhouse of the. Omaha High
school has decided to extend the "school
city" plan. He propones to ndd a de
partment of Justice, with Its concomitant
adjuncts of secret service and .tho like.
Ills tlrst step hns nlready been tnken and
the experiment will be given n trial this
afternoon.
During a long time the pupils at the
High school have suffered from tho deprc
dallonK of petty thieves. Lunches have
been stolen, articles of clothing hno been
taken, two or three bicycles have disap
peared and nlmost every known form of
pilfering has been practiced, to tho great
unnoynnco of pupils and Instructors nllke.
This situation Is not n novelty nl all. It
existed under tho administration ot Prof.
Lcvlston tn an extent that brought on
him the charge that ho wns lop lax in his
discipline. When Prof. Lcvlston withdrew
and wnn succeeded by Prof. Waterhouso
the predatory raids on rln.ikroom and class
room Increased rather than dlmlnlshnl. until
tho situation hns finally come to be In
tolerable. It In'nllcgcd that nt present
conditions aro such that the boys have to
carry their caps with thorn from clnsnroom
to classroom, not during to deposit them
In any coatroom, while such a thing ns
Fdfcty for a lunch is unknown.
Order it foil r t -tin rl In I.
Trnf. Wntcrhousn has determined to break
up this situation, if possible. He has de
veloped a plnn which he believes will ac
complish his nlniK nnd frco the school from
the Inconvenience nnd odium of harboring
a lot of thieves. Ills method takes the
form of a court -martini, mado up from thn
boy of the ichool, threo seniors nnd two
from each of the three lower classes, to
form a court nnd try the cases an pre
sented to them. This plnn has been sub
mitted to the endets nnd they hnve voted
to adopt It. The first session of the court
will bo held nt the High school building
this nfternoon. At thin tlmo the names
of the boys who will constltuto tho court
will bo made known. It Is understood thnt
Prof. Wnterhouso has made hla selections,
but Is withholding the names for prudential

CINCINNATI. O.. Nov. lO.-Wllh almost
half of the omdal returns from the eighty
eight counties In Ohio received, it Is esti
mated that tho total vote may be 10n,000
less than for governor two years ago, when
520,S72 votes were cast, and nlmost 250,
000 less than for president Inst year, when
tho total voto of Ohio wan 1,340,121.
Notwithstanding the Increase In popula
tion during the Inst thirteen years, the
tolnl vote will likely bo much less than for
president In 1SSS, when It wnn 841,941, and
probably less than has been east for gov
ernor slnco that time with n slnglo ex
ception. The returns show that the greatest short
age was nmong the democrats outside of
the cities, and It Is still variously attributed
to thu silver question, prevailing pros
perity, tho death of McKlnlcy, endorsement
of President Hoosevelt, Oovernor Nash and
Senator Koraker and other causes.
