Good King Oscar II, Sweden’s ven- erable ruler,|died early Sunday morn- ing at his royal apartments in the ? palace at Stockholm. King Oscar was something more than & ruler to his people, his democratic ideas made | him rather afather,and friend to his |- subjects. The succession passes to hie eldest son, Oscar Gustave Ad- olphe, who took the oath of alleg- ance under the title Gustave V, and adopted the motto “With the people for the fatherland. i DRY!

Old Point Comfort, Va., Dec. 10.— This was assembly day for the fleet, which is to set sail next Monday, and of the 16 great fighting machines or dered to skirt the southern-most end of all Atevica and inaugurate a new naval era in the Pacific ocean there Were but two laggards. These were the 16,000-tonned Minnesota, flagship of Rear Admiral ©. M, Thomas, com- mander of the second squadron of the fleet, and the Kentucky, whose paltry 11,525 tons relegated her to a position at the end of the armored column, The Kentucky also is the oldest ves sel among the 16, having been laid dewn with her sister, the Kearsarge in 1898 at the beginning of the war with Spain. Nine years ago is an ancient period in modern battleship construction, so great have been the strides in American naval architec ture, The battleships Minnesota from New York, and the Kentucky from Boston, were Tuesday morning heard from by wireless telegraphy while coming down the Virginia peninsula some distance south of Delaware breakwater, The ships are disposed in two long -lines leading in a crescent which be gan just off the Old Point pier and points toward Norfolk, The Connec which lies scarcely more than | a stone’s throw from the pier heads the column nearest shore. Next to her is her sister ship, the Louisiana, the champion hard-hitting, fast-fir ing vessel of her class and then in! turn come the Kansas and the Ver mont, all registering 16,000 tons and belted with steel that is rated well nigh impregnable, These four ves sels compose the first division of the first squadron of the fleet and are the, personal charges of Rear Admiral Evans. The second division in the first) squadron is made up of the Georgia, | Virginia, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The Minnesota was the last) of the big vessels to dock at New! York and was given 48 hours grace under the orders to report in Hamp ton Roads not later than Monday. Awaiting the Minnesota in the second | squadron are the Maine, Ohio, and| the Missouri, of the third division of the fleet and In the fourth division are the Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Sperry; the Illinois and the} Kearsarge. The Kentucky will com-| plete this division and squadron when | 5. she arrives, from Boston. The two long lines of battleships. flanked on either side by vessels of} the auxiliary fleet, present a notable! picture and add one more impressing | naval event to the history of Vir-! ginia’s far-famed roadstead, where the battle of the Monitor and the Merri- mac thrilled the world and set a new standard for future navies to build by. Crowds of sightseers from all parts of the country are assembled here to witness the final preparations and the departure of the fleet. The families of most of the officers are} also among the visitors and the week is to be crowded with social events of both formal and informal charac- ter, the principal function to be a Commander of Government Troops general has received telegram relative to the situation in Goldfield, Nev., commanding the troops now in that mining camp, under date of Monday: | orderly. in operation business and other condi- tions are normal. worthy of notice have occurred since. Several authorities here have been | consulted. They state that they are not being functions. except to ask them to inform me fre- quently of the state of affairs. A general feeling of confidence prevails from the presence of troops. The dif- ference between the mine operators and the miners have not been settled. The operators are going to open their mines this week. When this occurs I fear there will be trouble.” Yards Bank closed when the National Commerce closed its doors reopened Tuesday morning. It has $80,000 in cash and $120,000 deposits and is prepared to resume business in a normal way. aker Monday Chairman Brown of the republican state committee of Ohio, asking that its call for the republican state con- vention require delegates to be dl rectly chosen at duly authorized pri- mary elections, Prominent Christian Scientist Dead, Boston, Dec, 10.—Joseph Arm: strong, manager of the Christian Sefence publications, and one of the most prominent leaders of that faith in this country, died at his home here Monday night. born in Carrollton, Ill, Kansas ceipts, Market slow, steady. @6.50; southern steers, ern cows, heifers, $3.00@ @e. ern cows, $2.25@4.00, Hogs—Receipts, 20,000, Market 10¢ low- er.
