GEN. GILLESPIE ON
RIVERS AND HARBORS
United States Could Make Ef*
fective Defense
AGAINST NAVAL ATTACH.
In His Report He Recommends an Ad«>
ditional Appropriation of $4,000,«
000 For Purchasing and Fortifying
New Sites.
Washington, Oct. 80.—Twenty-five
of the principal harbors of the United
States now have a sufficient number of
heavy guns and mortars mounted to
permit of effective defense against naval
attack, says General Gillespie, chief of
engineers, in his annual report. Hff
briefly describes the original project
framed by the Endicott board for the
coast defense and shows how it has
been amended from year to year.
The important changes were the pro
vision for rapid fire guns, a reduction
in the number and caliber of heavy guns
and the elimination of armored de
fenses. Provision has been made for
placing 825 heavy guns, 327 rapid fire
guns and 376 mortars. Now General
Gillespie wants sites for more new mor
tars and batteries, and for gun and mor
tar batteries asks an appropriation of
$4,000,000.
Pneumatic Gun Batteries Obsolete.
The fortifications board having de
clared pneumatic gun batteries obsolete,
the department has discontinued work
on such batteries at Fisher’s Island and
Port Royal. An estimate of §300,000 is
submitted for preservation and repair of
fortifications, which is less than one
haif of 1 per cent of their value. Nego
tiations have proceeded for the purchase
of fortification sites in Boston harbor,
(two); in Narragansett, (three); New
York harbor, (extension of Fort New
ton, three sides); Port Royal, San Fran
cisco, Sautiiego. St. Johns river, Fort
St. Philip and Cape Henry, Y r a. With
few exceptions these sites must be pro
cured by condemnation.
An estimate of §2.000,000 is submitted
for purchase of sites. For the construc
tion of submarine mines and storage fa
cilities an estimate of §IOO,OOO is sub
mitted and for searchlights appropria
tions or for installation and
$500,000 for mains and conduits. The
experience at New York has shown that
economy in installation is promoted by
using the fortification plants for nose
illumination also. The estimates sub
mitted will fully equip with search
lights four more important harbors.
General Gillespie takes up in detail
the state of the .defenses in each fortifi
cation district, showing just what has
been done during the year at each of
the important points, and what is pro
jected.
River and Harbor Works.
General Gillespie also makes an ex
tensive report upon river and harbor
works and discusses each improvement
at considerable length, besides suomit
ting estimates for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1903.
These estimates are from 25 to 33L£
per cent less, and in some instances 6U
per cent less than those of the local en
gineers in charge of the river and har
bor improvement. General Gillespie’s
totals are as follows:
Under continuing contracts, $6,489,-
877; rivers and harbors (general) §12,-
543,600; examinations, surveys and con
tingencies. $300,000; prevention of de
posits in New York harbor, $70,260; en
largement of Governor’s Island, New
York, $500,000.
Painting Brings £15,750.
London, Oct. 30.—Charles T. Yerkes
has purchased Turner’s celebrated paint
ing, “Rockets and Blue Lights, ” at the
record prioe of £15,750.

THE TOOMER BILL.
Georgia Legislators Devote Two Hoars
to Its Discussion.
Atlanta, Oct. 30.—The house de
voted two hours to a discussion of the
bill by Toomer of Ware to put the mis
demeanor convicts of the state under
control of the prison commission.
Mr. Toomer spoke at length and said
that in 100 counties of the state this
class of convicts were being worked un
lawfully. x
There were three classes of these con
victs—county chaingangs like those of
Fulton, Bibb, Jasper and Chatham that
worked them upon the public works in
accordance with the law; a second class
operating under color of law, but worked
by individuals, which was illegal, and a
third class, which operated under no
color of law and organized contrary to
law.
These two latter classes he designated
as those operating unlawfully, and es
pecially the third, which came in con
tact with free labor.
Knight of Bprrien and Morris of Cobb
attacked the measure vigorously and
said the present law permitted the gov
ernor and prison commission to regulate
any irregularities in these camps. Seeing
that his measure was overwhelmingly
defeated, as indicated by an amendment
to put it into operation next year. Mr.
Toomer was given unanimous consent
to withdraw it.
The Howard franchise bill was taken
from the table and ordered immediately
transmitted to the senate.
The bill by Miller of Muscogee to re
duce the number in a lunacy jury to six
instead of 12, unless the relatives of
the afflicted demanded the latter num
ber, was passed.
DOPED AND ROBBED.
Woman In Savannah Loses s<>oo
Worth of Diamonds.
Savannah, Oct. 30. —A woman giv
ing her name as Mrs. J. H. Davis, and
who said that her husband was a news
paper man in New York, turned up at
the police barracks asserting she had
been doped or dosed with knock out
drops and robbed of SSOO in diamonds
and jewelry. The woman said she came
to Savannah Monday, one week ago,
and stopped at the Marshall House. The
next day she got to drinking with some
young men, went out for a ride in a car
riage and stopped at a house which she
named. Then her memory failed her
and she knew nothing until she came to
herself in the house she mentioned yes
terday moruiug and found her dia
monds missing.
The woman was well dressed and evi
dently of some refinement, but her face
gave evidence of recent dissipation. She
gave to the police, in confidence, the
name of her husband, whom she said
was employed on a leading New York
newspaper, the name used by ner being
assumed. The detectives sized up the
case with little difficulty and soon lo
cated the diamonds, which were returned
without protest. It was hardly a case
of robbery, and as the woman did not
desire to prosecute no arrests were made.
The diamonds were genuine aud hand
some. Mrs. Davis, as she called her
self, left on the steamer for New York.
KILLED HIS FATHER.
Tragedy lu Mountains Near Spring
Place, Ga.
Spring Place, Ga., Oct. 30.—1 n the
mountains, 15 miles from this place, A.
J. McClure was killed by his son Marion.
The killing grew out of a two days’
feud between husband and wife aud the
son killed his father to protect his
mother. The second son arrived on the
scene in time to see his father’s throat
cut. His life was threatened by his
brother and he left while his father’s
slayer was firing a gun at him. The
murderer made good his escape.
The younger brotr.er fears his broth
er-in-law, who went with him, has lost
his life, too, as his father’s murderer
said as he fled that he would kill him so
there would be no one to tell any tale.
Aimed at tlie Agrarians.
New York, Oct. 30.—1 t is assumed
that the kaiser’s threat to “smash every
thing to bits” if the commercial treaties
are not concluded, says the Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times and the
New York Times, is aimed at the Agra
rians, who are warned that they will
ultimately have to deal with Emperor
William, and that they will receive
short shrift if they areintractible. The
Krenz Zeitung, the Agrarian organ, de
clares that if high tariffs are not ob
tained it would be better for Germany
to have free trade all around.

JUMPED OVERBOARD.
Young Physician Throws Himself Into
the Alabama River.
Mobile, Oct. 30.—Dr. Arthur E. Tew
jumped overboard from the river packet
Nettie Quill near Gainestown, on the
Alabama river, and was drowned. The
body has not yet been recovered.
Tew graduated some four or five years
ago from the medical college here, and
for some time afterwards practiced his
profession along the line of the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas city railroad. He
came to the city about two years ago
and opened an office here. He began
dissiDating, however, and could secure
no clientele. Some weeks ago he secured
a position on the packet City of Mobile
and went up with the boat on several
trips.
Ou the last trip he was taken ill and
was placed on board the Quill when she
passed. He became violent on the Quill
and was locked in his stateroom. He
succeeded in getting out, however, and
shortly afterwards jumped into the cot
ton ladened barge alongside the vessel.
From the barge he jumped into the
river. Some time previously he had
given his watch to the clerk of the boat,
Captain H. C. King. Tew was very
widely known and came from a promi
nent family.
POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.
Plans Being Prepared For Ous to lie
Built at Pittsburg.
New York, Oct. 30.— Plans for a
Pittsburg polytechnic institute are be
ing prepared at the request of Andrew
Carnegie, which call for an outlay of
$1,000,000 to $8,000,000 for buildings and
an endowment fund of $25,000,000 main
tenance, says The Herald. Mr. Carne
gie is now on his way to this country.
When he reaches Pittsburg the commit
tee, which has for several mouths ftien
busily engaged, will make a repoif to
him. *
Judge Josiah Cohen of the Orphans’
court of Pittsburg, who is a member of
the committee appointed at the request
of Mr. Carnegie, says that the commit
tee has made considerable progress in
preparing its report for Mr. Carnegie.
“It is proposed,” said Judge Cohen,
“to found in Pittsburg an institution
for the training and education of ap
prentices and students in all trades.
Such an institution will require at least
60 acres of ground for the various build
ings necessary. The ground will be
given by the city of Pittsburg, in all
probability.*’
CLEVER COUNTERFEITS.
Much “Queer** Money Turned Loose
In Ntw York.
New York, Oct. 30. —The New York
sub-treasury has asked the aid of the
Washington secret service bureau in
running down those persons who are re
sponsible for the flood of lightweight
silver half dollars and dollar pieces re
cently discovered in this city.
The method employed by the oper
ators is unique, and in effect it is simi
lar to the sweating of gold coins, once
so common, with the addition that the
silver coins are plated. The silver coins
retain their original appearance, are
again placed in circulation, requiring a
trained eye and an exDerienced touch to
discover that they have been tampered
with. After a bit of the wear aud tear
money undergoes, the coins, which have
been operated upon, reveal their light
ness at once and as a result are refused
acceptance.
LOST AT SEA.
British Schooner (ioes Down With All
on Board.
Haifax, N. F., Oct. 30.—The British
schooner Cabot sailed from Ros Blanche
for North Synday on Oct. 21, and since
that date nothing has been heard of the
vessel or crew. Beside her crew she
had on board the Rev. D. O’Reghan, a
passenger, who was to have been landed
at Channel, N. F., 15 miles distant from
Ros Blanche, but the vessel never
touched at the port. It is supposed that
the schooner has foundered with all
hands.
