nor Chappelle, archbishop of New Or
leans, arrived In Washington last night

diences with the pope. He said mass

Two Brothers Giro Them
selves Up to Officers
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.—Lack ot
officers for ordnance duly and the
overtaxing of the naval gun factory
at Washington continue to be the two
most serious problems facing the bu
reau of ordnance, according to the
annual report of Rear Admiral New
ton E. Mason, chief of ordnance, just
approved by Secretary Morton. The
report says a plan for reorganization
of the work ot the bureau will be sub
mitted later with a view to increasing
the supply of ordnance experts. Of
the rush of work at the naval gun fac
tory Admiral Mason says:
May Fail in Supply.
"The naval gun factory has been
running night and day at full capacity,
and although good progress has been
made, the congested condition of all
■work there gives assurance that its
capacity is being overtaxed and must,
unless this capacity is materially in
creased, eventually result In a failure
to supply the ordnance outfits of ships
In time to meet the demands. of the
contractors.”
A vast amount of work has also been
done by the gun factory in alterations
and repairs to ordnance material. Es
timates for the Improvement of the
gun factory and Increase of the plant
are renewed.
Smokeless powder has received con
siderable attention by the bureau In
the last year. The report says the
normal output of private powder fac
tories and of the government factories
at Indlanhead and Newport is not
. greater than is required to meet the
demands of the service, target prac
tice and fill the outfits of the newly
commissioned ships.
Armor deliveries In the year have
Increased and the manufacture of ar
mor, the report says, has progressed
In a satisfactory manner.
Rapid Construction.
There have recently been some de
in ys to ship contractors caused by the
non-flcllvery of armor, hut the opin
ion Is expressed that this was due, not
to belated delivery, but to unusually
rapid ship construction. To obviate
the recurrence of this, a re-asslgn-
ment of armor contracts has been
made by the bureau. During the year
14,848.80 tons of armor have been de
livered.
Projectiles have recently caused the
bureau difficulty, some of them fail
ing to meet the severe ballistic tests
required.
Experiments recently have been
made to develop a special design of
telephone for use In communicating
throughout the ship while in action.
ATLANTA TO INVITE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Will Be Asked to Come to the State
Fair if Secured by that City*—All
Will Bo Forgiven.
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 13.—The mer
chants and business men of Atlanta
are going to make a united effort to
secure the State Fair for tlio year 1905,
and If successful, a strong pull will be
made to have President Roosevelt visit
the city, while it is being held, as a
guest of the management of the en
terprise. It will be argued to him that
all the hard things said about him by
the press and the people were merely a
matter of politics and that they should
not be counted, now that the election
is over and he is elected to the presi
dency for a term of four years,
doubt a committee will bo sent to
Washington to present the invitation,
and it is believed that he V’ill come, as
it Is well known that upon several oc
casions President Roosevelt has ex
pressed a desire to visit Georgia, and
Cobb county, the home of his mother.
Should he come it Is dollars to apples
that he will receive a most cordial re
ception, as the people of Atlanta are
forgiving In their nature when It comes
to matters of this character. President
Roosevelt has not seen Georgia soil or
mixed up with Georgia people since he
passed through the state with his reg
iment of Rough Riders during tho
Spanish-Amcrlcan war and it Is be
lieved that he can be Induced to come
here to attend the fair, ,
CHARLESTON, W. Vo., Nov. 13.—
Ed and George Jackson, the two
brothers of Montgomery, for whom re
wards ljavc been offered by both city
and county authorities, surrendered
today and are now in the county* jail
at Charleston.
The men had been secreted In an
abandoned coal mine Just outside
Montgomery and were driven to sur
render by hunger and cold.
Word was sent to Montgomery by a
mountaineer and on arrival of Squire
Davis and a constable the men gave
themselves up without a struggle.
Since the shooting of Sheriff Dan
iel, Thursday, and their subsequent
disappearance the men spent the time
in the coal mine and bloodhounds were
put on their track.
The officials took the men around
the town of Montgomery and by around
about way brought tho prisoners to
Charleston to avoid a riot or lynching,
which would have occurred had tho
citizens of Montgomery discovered that
the Jacksons had been captured.
There are now six prisoners implica
ted in the Montgomery shooting in the
Charleston Jail. It is not considered
safe to hold the hearing of any of them
at the present time.

Vessel in Exposed Condition, With but
Slight Chances of Being Saved fro
io Waves.
WOODS HOLE, Mass., Nov. 13.—
The two-masted schooner Earcularius,
Captain Nason, of Rockland, Maine,
went ashoro In the northeast gale
shortly before dark tonight about
three-quarters of a mile west of Tar
paulin Cove op the Island of Nuushen.
At sunset the seas were breaking
over the craft, masthead high,
trace of the crew has been found and
fears are entertained for their safety.
Tho vessel la In a particularly exposed
condition and the chances of her being
saved are slight.
Keeper Carson of the Tarpaulin Cove
lighthouse and a man named Robin
son, ono of tho keepers of the Forbes
estate, saw tho schooner when she
struck. It was Just before dark and a
terrific gale was blowing. The schoon
er was coming through Vineyard sound
from the eastward and was proceeding
under her foresail, the gale being too
fierce to permit more canvas being
used. The schooner tacked and tried
to work into the cove for anchorage,
but the wind bore her ofT and as she
swung away she struck a ledge of rock
no more than one hundred yards from
the lighthouse. Carson was unable to
give assistance to the men on board
tho schooner. The crew numbered four
men and all were plainly seen when
the vessel struck, but darkness set In
almost Immediately and nothing more
was seen of the men or the vessel. The
nearest life raving station on the north
side of the Vineyard sound Is at Cutti
hunk, twenty miles from Tarpaulin
Cove.
Keeper Carson had no boat that could
be launched. No lights were shown
from the schooner after she struck and
no answer given to the frequent hail
Ings of Carson and Robinson.
A careful watch has been maintained
since the schooner struck in the hope
of rescuing any sailors that might be
swept ashore.
At 9 o’clock tonight it was feared
that all on board had perished. The
seas were breaking over the craft and
ft was not believed that she would hold
together until daylight.
Killed in Collision.
MEMPHIS. Nov. 13.—In a head-on
colltslson between two freight trains

TOICIO, Nov. 13.—A draft of the war
tax measure which the government
plans to submit to the diet which Is to
meet on November 23th shows a pro
posed Increase in import duties of
$750,000. Divided among a large num
ber of articles, tho increase on indi
vidual articles is small except In the
case of tobacco, glassware, beverages
and kerosene.

The budget to be submitted to the
diet will be practically the same
outlined in previous dispatches of the
Associated Press except that further
reductions have been made in ordinary
governmental expenditures.
Baron Arasokuc. minister of finance,
answering the criticisms of the terms
of the recent foreign loan said that tho
loan was unsatisfactory to the govern
ment but the delay In capturing Port
Arthur and the departure of pie Rus
sian Rnltic fleet had created a’ hitch in
the negotiations and had compelled the
acceptance of terms less advantageous
than those of the first foreign loan.
A dispatch from Toklo October 31
said that In the preliminary estimates
of the budget covering January and
February and March. 1905. and the fis
cal year commencing in April, the war
expenditures were estimated nt $385,-
