The Urg ent battleship In commission In the Ameri can navy Is but Vt feet long, with a normal displacement of 12,500 tons. The Brooklyn, the largest armored cruiser In the United States navy, when the war with Spain was fought. Is but 1.215 tons, while the largest battleship In the navy In 1898 had a displacement of but 11, ITS. These com paratlve figures will give some idea, of the site of the West Virginia and Its class. Within the coming year two battleships of ls.OOO tons displacement will be placed In rommlsslon, but even these will not have the extreme length of the Wei( Virginia. To man the West Virginia requires a complement of forty-one officers and 7S7 bluejackets. Special care has been given In the construction of the armored cruisers of this class to provide for ths comfort of the enlisted men. The galleys are of the most modern and approved type and baker ies have been Installed which Insure a fresh supply of bread dally. The West Virginia carries a main battery ' it four 1-Inch guns and fourteen 6-Inch guns af the rapid fire type, which Is supple mented by a strong array of smaller guns for a Secondary battery. It also Is pro vided with two torpedo tubes. As the West Virginia Is fitted as a flag ship, it Is admirably adapted to the use of the president and the spacious quarters provided for the admiral will Insure the comfort of the president on his homeward Journey. These quarters are ' located In the extreme afterpart of the vessel. The admiral's cabin Is fifteen feet wide and tweny-slx feet In length, extending from one side of the ship to the other. This Is used as the dining room and In It there Is a dining table, sideboard and dining chairs, all of mahogany, besides a number of large easy chairs. There Is but little woodwork aside from the doors and furni ture. The exposed steet has been treated to a coat of white enamel, which, with curtains of green velour, hung on polished brass rods at all doors and air ports, and rugs of American make en the floors, pro duces a harmonious effect. Adjoining the admiral's cabin Is the pantry and the ad miral's office. The cabin aft may be em ployed as a lounging room. The hangings here are of green velour and tables cov ered with green billiard cloth, carry out the general color scheme. ( ' The West Virginia Is commanded by Captain C. H. Arnold, while Rear Admiral Brownson, commanding the division of which the West Virginia Is the flagship, accompanies It on the presidential trip. The Colorado Is commanded by Captain Duncan Kennedy and the Pennsylvania by Taptain Thomas C. McLean. The Mary land, the fourth vessel of Rear Admiral's Brownson's division, which was Mnder going repairs, could pot be made ready In time to accompany the command on the louthern, trip, but wilt join It In Hampton RosHs.

FAIRFIELD, la., Oct. 26.-Two fast pas senger trains on the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway, collided head-on at a point one mile south of Fairfield early to day. The wrecked trains were No. II, which left Chicago at 8:30 last night for the west, and No. 12, which departed from Kansas City at 6:30 last evening. Four persons were killed and between fifteen and twenty injured, none fatally. The dead: F. J. MILKES of Muscatine, la., engineer of No. 11. OLKN CANFIELD of Murray, la., mall clerk. L-ETECT1VE GRIFFITH of Lucas, la. A TRAMP, unidentified. The most seriously Injured: W. H. Dunham of Eldon, la., engineer of No. 12, leg broken, foot mashed. E. W. Wltte of Eldon, la., fireman on No. 11, head bruised. H. O. Potorff of Eldon, la., fireman on No. 12. O. B. Helmer, mall clerk on No. 11, head cut, leg crushed. J. E.

Mrs. JoeeDh Harris of Chicago, minor in juries. G. D. Rummeny of Enid, Okl.. slightly in jured. Dispatcher to manse. The cause of tne accident is now laid to the train dispatcher's office. When the engineer of No. 11 appeared at Fairfield he was handed the following or der: "Run forty minutes late to Eldon." The fireman of No. 12 declares that they had clearance orders from Eldon and that the blame for the wreck was In the issu ance of them from the dispatcher's office. At the time of the accident the trains were running at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. Both engines, which were of the large Pacific type, were demolished by the impact, which was terrific. Four ears of No. 12 were derailed and seven damaged and most of the injured were on this train. All of the killed were on No. 11. which also was badly damaged. A relief train with physicians was sent to the scene from Eldon and the injured were removed to the latter point. Traffic was tied up for nearly twelve hours. Sev eral of the Injured were able to continue their Journey and these with the other passengers were detoured over the Chicago, Milwaukee and Bt. Paul tracks by way of Ottumwa and Eldon. Company Blames Operator. CHICAGO, Oct. 26. An official statement Issued by the Rock Island road gives the number of dead as four and places the number of Injured at from twenty-five to thirty. Present official information leads to the conclusion that the collision was caused by a failure of the operator a Fair field to deliver an order for No. 11, west bound, to meet No. 12, eaatbound, ut Fair field. . . . Both locomotives were demolished, four oars of No. 12 derailed and seven dam aged. The damage to No.. 11 has not been reported, but all the killed were on this train, including an unidentified tramp .who was stealing a ride on the . front plat form of the baggage car. Those injured were nearly all on No. 12. A relief train with seven physicians was sent to Fairfield from Eldon. Passengers on No. 12 able to travel were sent over the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul railway part of the way to Washington, la., and put aboard Rock Island train No. 44, bound for El Paso, Tex. A train to continue No. ll's journey west was made up, as the track, it was expected, would be clear by 1 p. m. Trainmaster Kennelly was among the Injured.

DARING GETS HIM IN TOILS La a da Hlra la the City Jail. George Holly, colored, arrested Thursday afternoon by Detective Savage and booked at the city Jail as a suspicious character. thinks he has one laugh coming because he caught a second-hand dealer napping yes terday afternoon. Had not Holly become emboldened and returned to beard the lion in his den a second time It is believed he would have had at least a fighting chance to escape arrest. Holly pawned a coat and vest at a Douglas street second-hand store and re ceived $4 on the garments, and while he merchant's back was turned? donned the garments and left the store unobserved. He then went to a second place and pawned the garments again, returning to the first store to ask for an old coat to wear, or GO cents more on the first deal. Detective Savage was In the store at the time and detained Holly when the second-hand dealer said he could not find the garments re ceived fTora Holly an hour before.

Stelnway hall as " meeting ruled by two policemen and one man." After the appointment of .the credentials committee and a . discussion of the best way to collect tmj credentials of the dele gates, th Btudc baker hall meeting ad journed until 1 o'clock. . Dunne Welrataes Rearalare. At Stelnway hall, meanwhile, Mayor Dunne, who was rereatly elected to office aa a democrat, warmly welcomed the dele gales who . signed the Roosevelt pledge. The mayor said: There Is no more important ouestlon be fore the country today than railroad rates. There are three different classes who view this railroad rate question from different points of view. One class believes a rail road should be run like a grocery and charge one customer $1 a pound and an other C cents a pound. Another clans ap proves President Roosevelt's plan for the governmental regulation of railroad rates. The third class, which' Is numerically In creasing each year, believes that the proper solution is for the government to own and operate the railroads. If they do not, the railroads will control the government. But I will not Impress upon, you my. personal views on this question. Chicago Is proud to have you as her guests. If you come back in several -years I will give you a ride in municipal street cars. At present the only vehicles the city owns are patrol wagons, and I know that you do not want to ride In them. Toil look like good peaceful citizens, and 1 sincerely hope Vour deliberations will be quiet and orderly, ou must not fight because it is against the city ordinances. , . . E.' T. Campbell of Ohio responded to Mayor Dunne's address of welcome. "It is unfortunate that the railroad In terests attempted to Interfere with this convention," said Mr. Campbell. "It is a mistake to attempt to combat public opin ion. We are here to indorse President Roof evclt's plan 6f governmental regula tion of railroad rates. I am tn favor of going even further than the president, but I am also heartily In favor of supporting him." Parry Lost la Indiana. John W. Kern, representing the Indian apolis Commercial association, was the next speaker. He explained that D. M. Parry Is a member of the Indiana organisation and that after a sharp contest Mr. Parry's efforts to' Instruct the delegates against the Roosevelt rate regulation plan were de feated by a vote of 10 to'l. After a speech by former Governor Van Bant of Minnesota, the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock. The so-called "antl" convention recon vened at i o'clock In the afternoon In Stude baker hall, and the "regular" convention met an hour later in Stelnway hall. Hashes Elected President. While the Studebaker hall meeting was In session the Stelnway hall convention per fected organization by the election of the following officers: Chairman W. K. Hughes of Colorado. Vice Chairman John W. Kern of Indiana, Secretary P. E. Goodrich of Indiana. Assistant Secretary-r-G.. A. Schroeder of Wisconsin. . . , . i The report. of the committee on credentials was read and approved and all delegates In the hall were seated, . Chairman Hughes discussed the .presi dent's position as to railroad rates, saying: This is what the people we represent want. What the people of the great west want and what We shall earnestly and per sistently demand..' The people of the west are not unmlndfuJt-of what the railroads have done for them,' They have brought the comforts, even the'Kixurles of life to errery door. .. They hastened the .development of the country: made the wheels go faster,' as it were. The'lasfc twenty-five years have brought a great change.. In this time about all the public utilities o( the country trans- Rortatlon, Insuranc e, food, light aha water ave passed Into tne hands of corporations. These soulless creations of modern law can hold about all that is valuable now and hold It with a grip that death never relaxes. I think I can truthfully say to you today that unless you put the railroads under state and federal control, neither your wealth nor well being will, be advsnced In this generation not in the next. Now this question is right up to you. We -want, In my opinion, to here draft and pass strong resolutions upon-this subject, to appoint committees from every state ' represented here tn get right after the senators from their respective states with the proceedings of this meeting. If they agree with the president we want to know it; If they are with the corporations we want to know it. Among those appointed on. the committee of resolutions were J. H. Call of California, 8. H. Cowan . of Texas, H. A. Holmes of Kansas and . former Governor Larrabee of Iowa. ,At this point it was learned that there had been no invocation. The convention felt the necessity of one, but no minister was present, whereupon Captain Joseph Farley of Dallas, Tex., 'mounted ths platform and delivered a prayer asking Divine aid ln fighting the rate evil. Reply ta "Antl" Comsaaalcatlaa. A communication was then received from the other railroad advocates at Studebaker hall saying it was "the convention," and asking the "regulars" to Join, with them. This caused considerable- discussion and the "enemy" was hotly denounced by JL W. Call of California and others. A committee was appointed to reply to the communication after which a resolu tion introduced by J. W. Kern of Indian spoils was adopted under suspension of the rules. It is as follows: Resolved, That the so-called convention assembled in fcttudebaker hall for the pur pose of aiding the railroad companies ro defeat the efforts of President Roosevelt In behalf of the people has assembled without authority of this association, but fairly rep resents the corporate forces under the di rection of which It is in session. Second, that Its statement-to 4he effect that any duly accredited delegates to this convention are in anenuance upon tne eiuuo- baker hall railroad convention is absurd and false. The delegates to this convention are here In session, enthusiastic in their WORK A PLEASURE It Is On of the Real Joys Glvea Is. "Postum Food Coffee has done more for me In two years," writes a Wisconsin youn lady student, "than all the medicines and treatments I had employed to overcome the effects of the coffee poisoning that was killing me by degrees. "I had all the familiar symptoms and suffered all the' well known tortures. My stomach was wrecked and 1 could not eat; came tne nervous victlpi or insomnia, and ths capacity' for study deserted me. Of course, this cams on gradually and with out suspicion, for a long time, ts to the cause. , "Two years ago a friend enthusiastically urged me to quit using the old kind of ooffeS and to drink fostum Food Coffee, t have never regretted acting upon uia advice. As soon as the coffee poison was eliminated the strengthening and nour ishing properties of Postum began to build me u. . - "Each day J gained a, little,, the color Crept back to my cheeks, my Urn be rounded out with new flesh, my complexion grew (air and, clear again, my digestion Im proved, and now I can eat anything at any time; the nervous Insomnia lias left me and I sleep soundly at night and wake VP refreshed. 1 have no more headaches and mental work has become a pleasure to me."

' Read the little book, "The Road to Well vllle," la eaea- pVg. - r -T - - t . ... support of Prenl.lent Ronsevelt's declared polity and do not propose to mske any alliance or compromlRe with the enemies of the people. The convention then adjourned until to morrow morning. ' Proeeedlaaa of the "Anils." The first business at the Studebaker hall convention In the afternoon was the read ing of the report of the committee on credentials. The roll call of the delegates whose cre dentials Were accepted by the committee showed that 433 delegates were In attend ance at the convention in the afternoon. Several times during the roll call applause was caused by reading names of delegates who are said to have left the "regular" convention for the "rump" meeting. Amid the cheers and applause of the con vention a resolution classing the action of the "regulars" In refusing admission to the "rump" delegates to Btelnway hall as un American was passed. As a bit of humor, the resolution asked the appointment of a committee to extend an Invitation to the "regulars" to attend the convention at Studebaker hall. After the recess steps were taken to make the organisation permanent. The nominations for the permanent officers were made by W. C. Perry of Kansas City, and were passed without opposition. N. W. McCioud of Pennsylvania was chosen chairman and O. X. Wendellng of California one of the rice presidents. Trre Hesolntlons Referred. After the appointment of other commit tees. Delegate Thurber of New York of fered a resolution that the Interstate Com merce act be amended so as to class pri vate car lines and terminal railroad en gaged in interstate commerce as common carriers and subject to the Interstate com merce act. It was referred to the com mittee on resolutions. A resolution was then introduced prais ing President Roosevelt .for his assistance In the recent peace negotiations between Russia and Japan. The . resolution also expressed an appreciation of the Intentions of the president in attempting to secure a settlement of the rate regulaton ques tion, and expressed an opinion of the views of members of the convention on the sub ject D. M. Parry States His Position. D. M. Parry, the leader of the delegates, then made his speech. , In part, he said: I refuse to believe that the government rate making proposition reflect the real sentiment of the great majority of the shippers of this country, for to my mind to believe such a thing is to assert that the shippers have combined their forces for the purpose of tyrannising over the railroads and depriving railroad capital from reaping the profits which under the free Institutions of this country it is en titled. Rather do I prefer to believe that this crusade to endow a political commis sion with a socialistic and ciar-llke power to fix transportation prices Is what Is pop ularly and very aptly termed a hot air movements, fathered In the main by profes sional political agitators and men who have private reasons of their own for fighting the railroads. I believe that as the ship pers come to consider this question they are more and more inclined to take the view that government rate making Is an Impractical and dangerous scheme, and at least It must be given very earnest con sideration before extending it their sup port. I confidently believe that all fair-minded men. If they give due s'udv o this question, will come to the conclusion that the power to make rates should continue to lodge where It Is and that thereby the general Interests of the country will be best sub served, the rlKht of communities to enjoy the advantages of copulation, wealth and geographical location will be respected, the less developed sections will not be at the mercy of the more powerful sections, and rates will on the whole, gradually decline, while the services rendered by the carriers will develop In efficiency. After the speech an adjournment was taken ,untll tomorrow. LIVE) STOCK MEN WITH PRESIDENT National Association Instructs Dele '. aaaIto Work for-Rate Rearalatloa.' ' In a circular Just issued by Secretary J. H. Owlan of the National Live Stock asso ciation the information Is given that the central committee, meeting in Denver Oc tober 20 and 21, instructed its delegation to the Interstate Commerce Law convention at Chicago to present a strong resolution endorsing the president on the railway rate question. Attention Is called to the faot that at ths next annual meeting of the association to be held in Denver, beginning January 30, the proposed consolidation of the National Live Stock association, with ths American Stock Growera' association, will come up for ratification by the two bodies meeting simultaneously. The central and executive committees of the respective organizations already have agreed on the merger and out lined a plan for its execution. The purpose Is to gain the strength that will come by a common organisation of all live stock inter ests. The constitution and bylaws of the American Stock Growers' association, mod ified so as to admit to membership associa tions of live stock producers, as well aa in dividuals, will be made the basis of the new organization. Attention is called to the fact that whllo the . reciprocity convention at Chicago In August was a great success, yet the efforts and the fight necessary to get the laws de manded will be a stubborn one and may last a number of years before the object is attained. The campaign is now in the hands of a committee. At the meeting of the central committee a resolution was adopted declaring that the appropriation made by congress for experi mental stations and use of the Bureau of Animal Industry and for meat Inspection absolutely insufficient for the live stock in terests of the country. Because the live stock industry Is threatened In many ways by diseases which require careful scientific Investigation and the welfare of the gen eral public is believed to justify the dis tribution of the burdens Involved in meat inspection, senators and representatives are asked to make ample provision at the next session of congress. O'REILLY SUGGESTS A CHANGE Sargeoa General of Army Thinks There Are Too Many Snr areaaa General. WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. -Surgeon Gen eral O'Reilly of the army has prepared a statement showing there are three medical officers with the same title he holds, which has led to confusion, which might become more serious In time of war. The title of surgeon general of the army was bestowed on the head of the medical department of the army in U1S. In 1871 the chief of the bureau . of surgery and medicine of the navy was made surgeon general of the navy. In lo the supervising surgeon of ths marine hospital service was made sur geon general of the marine hospital ser vice. General O'Reilly says telegrams ad dressed to ths "surgeon general" may be sent to any of these officers. He thinks that as his corps has had the title so much longer than ths others It is entitled to keep it. Legislation by congress would be necessary to sffect the change. FIRE RECORD.
