FLEET TO JOURNEY
AROUND JE WORLD
News Flashed By Wireless Tele?raph

Men of Ships.

Disappointed at the Brief Stay

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION HARD
San Diego, Cal., March 10.—News
that the American fleet is to make a
tour of the werlil wijhin two months
after its arrival in San Francisco,
May 5, was flashed by wireless tele*
graph to the sixteen battleships of
Admiral Evans’ command at Magda-
lena Bay late tonight by the govern-
ment station at Point Ix>nu. This
news was received on board the ves-
sels by officers and crews alike with
England and it is believed by navy
officers here that the fleet will visit all
of those countries instead of sailing di-
rect from Gibraltar to New York. The
cruise, which today's announcements
tend to make all the more notable, is
more than ever the topic of conversa-
tion here. Some comment is occasion-
ed by the fact that no mention Is
made of the possibility of a visit of
the battleships to Japanese waters.
A formal invitation from Japan, it is
said, might be complied with during
the stay of the fleet in the Philippines
or following the completion of fall tar-
get practice.
Six Ships at San Diego.
The new armored cruisers South
Dakota and the California, arrived
here today from Magdalena Bay and
joined the Tennessee and Washington
of Admiral Sebree's command at an-
chorage ofT Coronado beach. The sup-
ply ship Culgoa. one of the auxiliaries
of Admiral Evans' fleet .also came into
port today and will take on supplies
and mail for the ships at .Magdalena
Bay. She will start south again in a
few days. The Albany is still in the
bay, making six naval vessels now
here.
Wireless communication with the
fleet at Magdalena Bay is still possi-
ble only during a few hours late at
night. Signals seldom are exchanged
earlier than 10 or 11 o'clock at night
and the coming of day. when the light
waves completely upset the rythm of
the ether impulses which carry the
dots and dashes of the wireless alpha-
bet always puts an end to the atmos-
pheric connection between ships and
shore. It is suggested that in order to
secure communication during the day,
or at least throughout the entire pe-
riod between sundown and sunrise,
Admiral Evans may semi one of the
fleet auxiliaries fitted with wireless to
a point midway between Magdalena
and San Diego to catch and relay mes-

It. has generally been understood for
some time in naval circles that the
trip back to the Atlantic station
would be made by way of Suez, but
the official announcement, coupled
with the early date of starting on the
second half of the world’s greatest
naval maneuver, will give keen pleas-
ure to the men already proud of the
notable achievements of the fleet.
The wireless station here was flood-
ed with messages from Washington
during the day and there were sev-
eral hours of sending work before the j
operators late this evening established ja daring robbery on board during her
communication with the Connecticut, j stay in the south, when the sum of
venlng distance to be traversed by the

tem.
Battleship Robbed.
San Francisco. March 13.—The
United States cruiser Milwaukee of
Admiral Swinburn's squadron, return-
ing this morning from target practice
at Magdalena bay. brought word of
Practically all of the messages were
in code, but they included the news
that the itinerary of the world cruise,
starting from iSan Francisco on July
(I. and including Hawaii, Samoa, Aus-
tralia and the Philippines in the points
to be visited, had been formerly ap-
proved by the president and his cabi-
net. They also included the cordial
messages of congratulation from the
president and navy department.
These messages will be read to the
crews of t.he sixteen ships at “quar-
ters” tomorrow morning, at which
time announcement of the Suez route
and another round of friendly visits
to hospitable foreign ports will be
made.
Admiral Evans, who will relinquish
command of the fleet during its forth-
coming stay at San Francisco, and who
goes on tlie retired list -when he at-
tains the age of 62 years in August,
was expecting some word from Wash-
ington on the subject of the future of
the fleet, and It was in view of this
and to enable the depart meat to pre-
pare its program that he sent the mes-
sage the night of his arrival off Mag-
dalena Bay to the effect that the ships
could start on any mission at a day’s
notice and were in far better ■phape
as to machinery and efficiency of
crews than the day of sailing from
Hampton Roads,
The fact, that hut two months is to
be allowed between the arrival of the
fleet at San Francisco and its depart-
ure to the Far East, indicates that no
serious repairs are needed by any of
the vessels and the further fact that
any stay* that may be made in dry-
dock will be exceedingly brief. The
time for repairs further will be cut
down by the excursion of the fleet to
Puget Sound to give the people of
the North Pacific coast, ah opportuni-
ty to see and visit the ships which
have occupied so much of the world's
attention during the past three
months.
Brief Stay on Pacific Coast.
The residents of the coast are:
somewhat disappointed over the brev- j
ity of the ships' stay in these waters,!
but they are patriotically proud of the i
fact that the flag is to be shown all toe
way around the world. President
Roosevelt announced in his last mes-
sage to congress in regard to the trip
of the “battle fleet" to Magdalena Bay
and San Francisco, that "no such fleet
had ever undertaken such a cruise”
in the history of the world's navies.
The significance and importance,
therefore, of the added journey
si, Oilt 2 ivCiiic pOooev>f,,Oiif» and
on through the Suez and the Mediter-
ranean, in the eyes of the chief execu-
tive and the navy officials, can well be
imagined. So much interest will at-
tach to the trip of the fleet through
Asia, along the African shore and
southern Europe that pressing invita-
tions undoubtedly will come to the
president from France, Germany and
$3,800 tn gold was taken from the

Washington, March 13.—Carrying
thp largest appropriation in all its
history—$222,190.392—the post office
appropriation bill today passed the
house, having been under discussion
fourteen days. This is $1,425,000
more than was reported by the com-
mittee. Chairman Overstreet, when
(he reading of the bill had been con-
cluded, waged a vigorous tight on the
proposition to increase the pay of Hie
letter carriers, which was voted into
the bill last Wednesday, but that ac-
tion was confirmed. 103 to 126.
The first amendment to run success-
fully the gauntlet was one by Mr.
Finiey (South Carolina), increasing
bj $200,000 the appropriation for rural
delivery service, making the total
amount for that purpose $35,573,000.
A lengthy debate followed the offer-
ing by Mr. Griggs (GeorgiaI of an
amendment providing for a rural par-
cel post. The amendment was ruled
out on a point of order by Mr. Over-
st reel.
Other amendments followed, all
bearing on the. rural service. These
covered the extension to rural routes
of the drip letter privilege, the waiv-
ing of the requirements as to gates
enclosing farms; a requirement that
service on rural carrier routes be not
suspended on legal holidays; the
granting of $30 per annum additional
to rural carriers where the route is
more than twenty-four miles in
length; prohibiting rural carriers from
delivering mail on Christmas day. nil
of which went out on points of order
by Mr. Overstre.oat.
On an objection by Mr. Moon (Ten-
nessee) all provisions of the bill re-
lating to the handling of mail on
hoard United States vessels by enlist-
ed men were eliminated. The reading
of the bill was then concluded, lint
a notification !>> Mr. Overstreet tlia-t
ho would ask a separate vote on the
proposition to raise the pay of letter
carriers reopened tile whole discus-
sion on that, subject.
As the result of a roll tall on the
subject forced by Mr. Keliiher (Mas-
sachusetts) the vote disclosed yeas

lowed before was confirmed.
The bill then was passed.

ployes of the same institution today

counsel for Morse represented that I

that their alleged claims wore un-

three-fourths' of the town of Big Tim-

on the Northern Pacific railroad.
Three hundred families are rendered
homeless and the loss is oHtinuited at
more than $100,000.
For seven hours the fire raged, the
wind blowing a terrific gale, and not
infrequently the flames would leap a

of the Northern Pacific company and
from there spread to a dwelling in
the outskirts of the town. Thence it
was carried from house to house until
the Ini si il ess district of Big Timber
was reached, through the heart of
which the flames cut a swath more
than a block wide. The wind then
