Some changes were made |in the verbiage, but they were not im- { portant. | _ Secretary Wilson talked to the Cabinet | for a short time about what he regards | as the failure of Canada to keep an agree- | ment with the United States as to the | bringing of cattle to Canada and _this country from Great Britain, Scotland and | Ireland. This agreement, made a number of years | | ago, provides that an American and a | | Canadian_ inspector of cattle should be | kept in Great Britain to inspect cattle | coming to Canada, destined either for | | Canada or the United States. This was | to guard against cattle getting disease | into this country. The information Secretary Wilson has is that the Canadians have withdrawn their | inspector and permit the inspection to be | | mage by a citizen of Gfeat Britain, who | | may be competent in, his knowledge of | cattle, but who would not have the same | | interest as a Canadian in the examina- | | tion. ! | Ito May Go to Russia.

Name of the Purchaser of the Property Is Not Announced. Sh e LONDON, Nov. 26.—The celebrated Battle Abbey and the estate of 6000 acres surrounding it were sold at public auc- tion to-day for £200,000.. A real estate agent was the successful bidder, but he refused to give out his client’s name. All that could be learned was that the buyer ‘was not an American and it does not ap- pear that any American was represented at_the sale. The Duke of Norfolk and Lord Rose-; bery have been mentioned as possible purchasers of the property, which Cap- tain Forester, grandson of the late Duke lotf Cleveland, inherited, but declined to eep. Several hundred persons attended the auetion. The bidding started at &£50,000 and went up by tens of thousands until | £190,000 was recorded. Then amid intense excitement the bidding proceeded in thou- sands until the sale price was reached. Among the bidders who dropped out in the last stages of the auction was Sir John B. Blake, the former Mayor of A rumor is abroad that William Wal- dorf Astor has secured the property. Overdue Ship Roanoke Spoken.

BE Secretary of War Recom- mendsa Number ot Changes. Generals Merritt, Brooke and Otis May Soon Be Honored. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Elihu Root. Secretary of War, to-doy submitted to the President his annual report of the operi- tions of his department. Speaking of thz mustering out of the voiunteers at San Francisco in the first six months of 1901 the Secretary says: Special care was taken to secure full de- scriptive lists and a thorough medical exam- ination, with a view to aid in the settlement of futare applications for pensions. The command- ing general of the department reported that the muster-out was quiet, orderly and without § cident. Ninety-seven per cent of the men mu: tered out proceeded without delay to their re- spective homes. The Secretary says regarding the army canteen: < The provisions of section 38 of the act of February 2, 1001, prohibiting the sale of or deal- ing in beer, wine or any intoxicating liquors by any person In any post exchange, or canteen, or army transport, or UpOD any premises used for military purposes by the United States, have been carried into full force and effect, pursuant to the directions of the statute. When | the orders were issued for the enforcement of this section of the law the commanding offi- cers of the various posts and military organi- zations were directed to report upon its effects. | A great body of reports have been recelved, Which indicate that the effect of the law is un- | fortunate. I think, however, that a sufficlent time has not elapsed to glve the law a fair trial, and the observation and report of its working will be continued during the ensuing year. The reports show that the food and clothing furnished to the army during the year have been satisfactory; that the health of our troops has been good and the death rate’low. The death rate per thousand of troops in the United States during the past year was 10.14; in Cuba, 9.72; in Porto Rico, 7.90, and among the troops serving in the Philippines and China jt was re- duced from 19.31 during the previous year to 16.76 during the past vear. Transport Service Defective. The ocean transport service has continued to be inadequate and inefficient. The return of : the volunteer force from the Philippines in the limited period allowed between the time when they were required for active operations in the early part of 1501 and the 30th of June in that year was accomplished without accident, confu- sion or delay and was a very creditable per- formance. Notwithstanding the falthful and zealous service of the officers of the quartermaster’ department in charge of Government transpor- tation I became satisfied that with the reduc- tion of forces and consequent reduction of busi- ness in Cuba and Porto Rico the business could be done more economically by commercial lines and the department was not justified in longer maintaining a separate transport fleet on the Atlantic. The Atlantic transport service was accordingly discontinued on the 30th of June last. It is not practicable now to discontinue the transport service upon the Pacific, but I do not think it desirable that the United States should own and operate a fleet of passenger and freight vessels in time of peace. It would be gratifying if the American merchant marine could furnish vessels to transport our men and supplies as part of a regular commerce between the United States and the Philippines under contracts which would enable the Gov- ernment, in case of war, to put the vessels under the control of regular officers of the army or navy for transport purposes, upon reason- able compensation. It is desirable that author- ity be given by Congress to make such con- tracts in case opportunities for such an ar- rangement should be afforded in the future. Most of our tranesports were bouzht from foreign owners and upon being sold would | necessarily come again under a foreign flag. It will make a great difference in tne prices which can be obtained if an American register .can be granted to these ships. I ask that this be authorized by Congress. There would seem “to be no objection on any public ground to granting an_American register to a ship which bas been for years flying the American flag as a public vessel of the United States and | when the money value of the privilege will go into the public treasury. Reorganization of Militia. Of the militia laws the report says: The present provisions of law relating to the militia and the raising of volunteer-forces are quite mperfect and unsatisfactory. The mili- tia law stands to-day practically as it was enacted in 1782, and is practically obsolete. It is very desirable that Congress should now ex- | | ercise the power conferred upon it by the con- | stitution to provide for organizing, arming and | disciplining the militia. The organization and armament of the National Guards of the sev- eral States, which are treated as militia in the appropriations made by Congress, should be made the same as those provided by Congress for the regular and volunteer forces. The re- lations of the Natlonal Guard organizations to the national forces and the obligations and du- ties of those organizations in time of war should be clearly defined, so that the confusion and distress regarding their action which ac- companied the outbreak of the war with Spain may not again occur. The reliance of the country for the large forces necessary in modern warfare must nec- essarily be chiefly upon volunteers. The method and procedure of raising volunteer forces should be prescribed in advance, so that instead of waiting to devise plans for a volunteer army until the excitement and haste of impending war make perfection of design difficult and satisfactory execution impossible, Congress will have but to direct the execution of a well un- derstood plan by officers, each one of whom has long been familiar with the part he is to play. It is desirable that any plans adopted should provide for utllizing, in the earlier vol- urteer organizations called out, the training of those citizens who shall have served already in the regular and volunteer forces. If the earlier volunteer organizations can be constituted of these trained men, much valuable time and expense can be saved, and many dangers may be averted during the period while the ordinary volunteers are receiving the necessary training. Provision should also be made for the selection in advance of the officers of any volunteer force which may be raised. Careful selection is im- possible at the cutbreak of a war. It is en- tirely practicable in time of peace. I recommend that the President be authorized to convene boards of officers (including the general service and staff college board) for the examination of officers of the National Guard and other citizens who may apply to be ex- amined, as to their qualifications to hold vol- unteer commisgions; that the persons passing such examinations shall receive certificates, stating the office for which they are found to be qualified, and upon the calling out of a volunteer force shall be entitled to receive com- , misslons for such offices. | Arming of Guardsmen. { I recommend that the War Department be authorized to arm the National Guard with the present service small arms used by the rezu- lar army, navy jand marine corps; that the National Guard of the several States be treated as a first reserve, to be called Into the ser- vice of the Unifed States to execute the laws of the Unlon, suppress insurrections and repel invasions, the term of service under any call to be limited to nine months; that the Presi- dent be authorized, on the request of the Gov- ernor of any State, to detail officers of the regular army for instruction, staff and inspec- tion dutles with the National Guard of such State; that the War Department be authorized to furnish transportation, rations and tentage to officers and men of the National Guard or- ganizations who shall take part with the force of the regular army in annual encamp- ment and maneuvers at natlonal military camps; that the department be authorized to allow travel pay, commutation of rations and quarters, or_commutation of quarters, to offi- cers gf the Nattenal Guard attending and reg- ularly taking part in the courses of instruction at the general service and staff college at Fort Leavenworth. Both of these provisions shall be within reasonable limits, proportional to the numbers of National Guard organizations in the several States. I recommend that the President be now empowered to organize the volunteer forces whenever called out,-in_the manner provided for by the act of March 2, 1899, for the organi- ration of the volunteer force which has recent- ly returned from the Philiopines, with such modifications as shall be necessary to give ef- fect to the views above exoressed. The chief of the signal corps again urges at- tention to the great importance of an Ameri- can trans-Pacific cable. The requirements for the use of such a cable by ou ment in Hawali and in the Philippine Island: are so_great that either it should be construct- ed and_owned by the Government, or if con- structed by a private corporation the landing rights should be granted upon such conditions that the owners shall always remain in fact an (American corroration. and shall be sub- ject to such comtrol and regulation by Con- gress as will insure Government contgol when necessary. and commercial freedom in’ the use of the cable at all times. The Secretary says that as veterans of the Civil War who remain in the navy are permitted to retire at a grade higher than they have reached in the active list, | he asks that smilar provision be mad: for the veterans in the army, The Secretary says Major General Wes- ley - Merritt, Major General Joh: : Zleuoke lnd"—'mor General Elwello nDtRf‘; . are practically ded for th REORGANIZED i | Conduct of Mrs. Bonine After Tragedy Is Described. Woman on Trial for Murder Makes a Private Con- fession. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—The fact was broyght out to-day in the trial of Mrs. | Bonine for the killing of James S. Ayers Jr. that she had made a private confes- sion of.her part in the tragedy on the evening after the homicide—several days before she took the police officials into her confidence. This recital was made 10 George B. Gardner, an attorney employed in the law department of the Interior De- partment, who was a boarder at the Ken- more Hotel and usually sat at the same table at which Mrs. Bonine took her meals. Gardner was on the witness stand to- day and told his story for the first time. He said that Mrs. Bonine had sought him out and asked his advice as to whether she should make a public statement, and that he suggested to her that she should delay her confession until the theory of suicidé, which was first entertained, should be fully exploiicd. A number of other witnesses were heard during the day, several of/them being | men who had taken Ayers to neighboring saloons during the evening of May 14, arc one of whom had takca him to his room after midnight, about two hours before he met his death. The witness who took Ayers to his room was a young man named Burns, who stated that when ne left Ayers the latter was perfectly sober. These witnesses generally said that Ayers had taken about two glasses of beer and that he was -0t under the influ- ence of liquor. Burns said that on one occasion’ he had seen Ayers treat Mrs Bonine contemptuously. He said she had nursed him (Burns) wien sick, and had visited his room, both day and night Other witnesses also testified that Mrs Bonine had visited them when sick. Gard- ner’s statement was as follows: “Mrs. Bonine stated to me that she knew more about the death of .Ayers than Fad been given to the public.. I think she hesitated a moment at my manner or something I said. I induced her to go on, and she said she was present when It happened, and told me that she had come to me because she wanted my advice. She told me that on the morning of Ayers’ death he came to her room_and knocked on her door and compizined of being ill, and asked If she could not do something for him; that when ske got into Ayers’ room he had assaulted her and had a pis- tol in_his hand, and iv the scuffle which ensued he was killed. “She said that she was feeling badly, and that nothing was sustaining her ex- cept the consciousness of her innocence. Ske added that she could not get it out, and asked me if she had better destroy it. By ‘it’ I understood hcr to mean that sha referred to one of her garments, but I did not know what. I tcld her to destroy nothing, as she had not decided upon a public confession.” TWENTY-SIX MEN MEET AWFUL FATE Continued From Page One. ging for their comrades who were buried aeeper. Flames broke out almost imme- diately and the horror of fire was added to the sufferings of the imprisoned ones. Rescders Fight the Fire. Almost immediately after the fire alarm was turned in calls were:sent out for all. the ambulances in the city and they were hurried to the scene. Pending their ar- rival, neighboring houses were turned into temporary hospitals and those physicians who were in the vicinity eased the suffer- ing ones as much as they were able. The first ambulances on the scene were total- ly inadequate to carry those who had al- ready been extricated and express wagons and similar vehicles were pressed into ser- vice. As soon as the gravity of the accident was realized calls for additional firemen werd sent in and the apparatus came fly- ing to the sceme from -all parts of the city. While part of the firemen directed their efforts against the fire, which was burning in the center of the ruins, the greater number of them seized axes and crowbars and began prying out the vic- tims who could be seen or whose faint cries were audible. The department of public works imme- diately sent all its available men and horses to the scene. In a comparatively short time all the | laborers who were able to work to advan- tage were hurrledly set to pulling the debris out on Brooklyn avenue, where it was loaded into wagons and carried fF. 3 Victims Burned to Death. The floors and roof had fallen at an| angle and formed a sort of huge cover under which the fire burned flercely. Not until the firemen had chopped through this did their streams begin to have any apparent effect on the flames. Tke suf- ferings of those who were buried beneath were lately mutely testifled to by their charred and blackened bodies. Gradually the rescuers worked their way downward through the pile. By this time there were no cries or groans to ald them, for the flames had destroyed those unfortunates who were not killed by the explosion or the fall. But the work of rescue continued. When a heavy beam or piece of shafting was encountered horses ere driven in and the plece of wreckage hauled to the street. Stretcher-bearers Stood beside the workers and bore away the burned and blackened bodies. A va- cant house adjoining the factory was con- verted into a temporary morgue, where the bodies were placed in coffins and taken to the nearest Morgue. In severai cases the charred corpses were so hot when recovered that they could scarcely be handled by the undertakers and assist- ts. i Panic Among the Girls. The hospitals were besieged by relatives and friends of the injured men. An emer- ncy hospital, which was only a short sf'stnnce from the scene and where many of the injured were carried in wagons, was crowded to overflowing, the floors of the reception rooms and even the halls being used as a temporary res place for the victims. Physicians were hastily summoned and the work of relief expe- dited. Similar scenes were enacted at Grace and Harper hospitals. A number of girls were among the em- loyes on the four floors of the front of the building and there was a panic among them, but none of them was injured. The property loss, according to Secre- tary George W. Childs, is about $180,000. othing is known as yet about the cause of the explosion. The boilers had been re- cently inspected, and the engineer was known as a careful and capable man. Censure for Mine Officials. TELLURIDE, Colo., Nov. 26.—The Cor- oner’s jury which investigated the Smug- gler-Union mine disaster, in which twenty-flve men lo%thelr lives, found a verdict censuring some of the minor of- ficlals at the mine for not %romnfiy clos- ing the entrance to the Bullion tunnel after the fire originated, but finding that the officers of the company were not guilty of criminal or willful negligence.
