AN ORDER ISSUED THANKIXG THOSE WHO AIDED IN PRESERVING GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND PREVENTING FURTHER L088 OF LIFE AFTER THE EXPLOSION AT MARE ISLAND LAST JUNK, The Navy Department is quick to recogniee courage and bravery on the part of its officers or saflors and delights in pub‘ishing to the world conspicuous acts of daring or fidelity to duty by members of the service. Secretary Tracy has published the following in general orders: General Order No. 401. Navy Depantaenr, Wasurxarox, September 27, 1892. On the morning of the 18th of June ‘last, by the accidental explosion of ammunition in ‘the building known as the shell house at the naval magazine, navy yard, Mare Island, Cal., where a number of men belonging to the U8. 8. Boston were engaged in preparing shell tor that vessel, twelve persons were instantly killed ‘and several others more or less injured. « When it is considered that the explosion re- ferred to had scattered burning fragments ‘upon the roof of the shell house and about the building, that there was imminent danger of fire therefrom reaching the magazine near by, which contained a large quantity of powder, and that greater disaster was liable to ensue, the department is deeply impressed with the courageons conduct of those who promptly ap- proached the building and by well-directed and tent effort succeeded in preventing er loss of life and property. In view of the above facte it is deemed proper that # public acknowledgment be made of the important service rendered by officers and en- listed men of the navy, employes of the navy yard and others on that occasion. It appears from « report mado to the depart- ment by Rear Admiral John Irwin, command- ant of thenavy yard, that Capt. J.'C, Watson, then captain of the yard, who was early at the scene of disaster, mounted the burning roof of the shell house and directed the movements of the party about the building, consisting of Commander C. E. Clark, Surgeon D. 0. Lewis (the first officer arriving’on the grounds), Gun- ner T. M. Johnson and Watchmen Damstedt and Collins, in their efforts to extinguish the fire. In a report concerning the accident, made b} Capt. Watson fo the commandant of the yard, he states that two seamen apprentices, C. H. Beamer and J. Murmann, both of the U. 8. 8. Boston, were with him on the roof of the shell house and rendered efficient service, and he also mentions the following persons, in addi- tion to those named by the commandant, who gave him prompt assistance, viz: Commander Henry Glass, Lieut. Commander _W. T. Swin- burne, Lieuts. E. K. Moore, T. 8. Phelps, F. H. fae and Albert Gleaves. Ensign “O. F- i Surg. loore, Civil Engineer F. 0. “Mateon, trick Haley and Timotby Sheehan, Sailmakers William Red- tone and Michael ‘Barr, United States navy; H. A. Bartlett, Lieut, J. A. Turner and vate Thomas Kennedy, United States marine corps; W. D. Ni of the ichols, stable keeper; the crews fire engines of the yard, composed of Messrs. Horn, Bryant, O'Hara, Cleveland and Vance; Foreman Mason Denio,’ Mr. McCauley, writer; Mr. Hanscom, clectrician, and Frank St, John and Albert Sylvester, laborers, Both Capt. Watson and Surgeon Lewis ac- knowledge the kindness and courage exhibited by Miss McDougal, who, while driving along the road leading to the magazine at the time the explosion occurred, offered Dr. Lewis the use of her carriage, and by driving rapidly tothe gunner’s house, near the magazine, en- abled him to quickly arrive af the point where his services were needed. Other reports of the casualty show that timely gnd effectual assistance, was given by Medical inspector G. W. Woods, Surgeon A. F. grader, Passed "Assivtant Surgeon. C. Grai Assistant ‘Bargeon-J. E. Ensign 8. Robinson, Naval Oudet J. F. Carter and Car- Ponter Burroughe, U. 8. ., and by Watchman johnson, W. H. McKeagh, John Brough, em- loyes of the yard, and J. Maguire, pilot ot the i boat len, as well asa boat's crew de- tailed by Capt. Parsell of the English merchan ship Nala, which wae then lying at anchor in the vieinity of the magazine, viz.: James R. Carnon, F. A. White, John McKay, John Jonan- sen and E. H. Graham. Where so many responded to the call of hu- manity and nobly performed their duty in this great emergency it would be invidious on the part of the department, and indeed difficult, to select any one for especial commendation; but to those persons whose names appenr in the sev- eral revorts received concerning the accifent, and who are mentioned in this order, the thanks of the department are hereby tendered. B. F. Taacr, Secretary of the Navy. eae LETTERS BY PNEUMATIC TUBE. A Proposal for a Test Line Accepted by the Department. ‘The committee appointed by the Postmaster General to examine into the subject of more Tepid dispatch of all matters between large Cities and between post office stations in large cities by means of pneumatic tubes and other devices bas submitted its preliminary report. The committee states that it would not be possible in the time allowed before the fall rains tet in to make proper examination of all the syatems proposed in the eight bids submitted, but, inuemuch as one proposition has been made which is more favorable to the depart- ment than any other, for the reason that it alone offers in definite ‘terms and without obli- gation on the government's part to purchase or rent to give a specific gervice of a practical character witbin the near future, the committee deems it proper to make this particular propo- sition the subject of a preliminary re) ‘The offer refe . that of the Pneumatic Transit Company of New Jersey, is to put down in the streets of Philadelphia between the post office and East Chestnut street branch pneumatic tubes to connect these two offices without expense to the department and without charge for # year's use of the eame. This offer, the report says, isthe best that has been re- ceived, and it is believed to be highly advan- ous to the department, because it will en- able it to make an immediate and practical test of the pneumatic system. The committee therefore recommend a prompt acceptance of the offer that the test may be made without delay. The committee, however, do not wish to be understood as passing upon the merits of the system itself, that being matter for fu- ture consideration. ‘The committee also express the of ef- ent, similar to the one fecting an arran, recommended, wit Post Office Department and the city post office. ‘The recommendation of the been accepted by the Postmaster General, and the Pneumatic it Company of New Jersey been notified.

Kerens are ex- tremely sanguine. The purpose is said to be to bend every effort to break into the democratic representation from the south, electing alliance men, if not republicans, wherever it is possible, £0 as to prevent the democrats from organizing the next House. In the Fifty-first Congress the republicans had seventeen Representatives from the south. In the present Congress they have but four. Mr. McPherson figures out that they can elect twenty-three republicans from the south to the Fifty-third Congress, Mr. Kerens says that four republicans will ‘be elected in Missouri, and Representative Houk of Tennessee counts on three from his state. Mr. Houk says that unless the situation changes materially the republicans will elect the governor of Tennessee, and he thinks there isa very fair chance that the electoral vote of the state may be cast for Harrison. ——_—_-e-_____ MR.
