Bar Harbor, Maine, Aug- 1.—Today
was made notable in fleet annals of
Rear Admiral Sands, whose f'ai?sh'j>
is the Texas, announcing the complex-
ion of the squadion with which he
purposes next week to attack the New
England coast In the guise of an en-
emy and to outwit Commander-in-
chief Barker, who will be assisted In
the defense by Hear .Admirals Wise
and Coghlan and a powerful fleet, in
point of number, arnrament and speed.
Admiral Sands has selected the In-
diana, Massachusetts and three pow-
erful torpedo boat destroyers. These,
with the Texas, the flagship, will
leave here Mondny morning at G
o'clock under orders to sail direct out
to sea until 5 o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing. At the hour of noon on that day
the search problem that will occupy
the greater part of a week will be be-
gun.
Commander-in-chief Harker will
hoist the signal for his squadron to
move. Then In earnest will be begun
the keen naval problem as to whether
or not a hostile fleet can gain an en-
trance to the New England coast
against ceaseless vigilance and over-
whelming odds. Among the score of
war ships, of which the defending blue
squadron will consist will be the Kear-
sarge. flagship; Illinois, Alabama,
Olympla, Baltimore, Cliesap?ake, To-
peka, Scorpion, Hartford and Essig.
They have all been scrubbed, soraped
and painted, so that today as they
laid in a calm sea they presented an
unbroken front of naval perfection to
the thousands of p'easure Beekers who
trod their decks or gathered about
them In launches.
Wireless telegraph instruments were
being put into position for operation
today on the Kearsarge, Illinois and
Texas.
A thorough test Is to be given the
Invention this month and the future
attitude of the naval and war authori-
ties will largely depend upon the de-
gree of success during the search prob-
lem and the Joint maneuvers.

' IN RACING MAST.
Mast of Shamrock III Would Have
Doubled Up.
New York, Aug. 1.—A serious defect
in the big racing mast of Shamrock
III was discovered today through the
watchfulness of Designer Fife and
Captain Wring and an accident that
would either have delayed the races
for America's cup lndellnitely or made
It Impossible for them to be sailed at
the specified time was happily avoided.
The great spar had buckled in the
heavy blow and steep sea Thursday
afternoon and experts declared today
that no rigging yet'lnvented could have
kept he mast from doubling up like
a plpestem, so soon as it was sub-
jected to any strain, In the condition
in which it was brought to Erie basin.
Machinists were at once set at work
repairing the twisted angle irons and
others were set at work riveting oth-
ers, that were riveted alongside them.
This work was completed this after-
noon. The schooner was taken in tow
and taken down to her anchorage in
Erie basin. She was followed by the
Erin.

GLOVE CONTRACTS
IN UNCLE SAM'S ARMY
Member of Congress May be
Held to Answer.
Washington, Aug. 1.—It is reported
that despite the effort to relieve I,u-
clus Llttauer of responsibility for his
alleged participation in the army glove
contracts of Edmond R. L.yon, the war
department has nevertheless decided to
InsLltute proceedings against him In
at least ow> cnse.
In one of the letters written by Mr.
Llttauer, dated July 25, 1900, he put
down the cost of 33,601 pairs of muskrnt
gloves at $49,207.37, and added $1476.21
as Interest cn deferred payments, mak-
ing a total of $50,683.60. He said:
"We received $48,220.65." and sub-
tracts the smaller amount from the
larger, showing a profit of $3537.07.
Then the letter adds: "Of which your
share of one-half equals $1768.52."
A few sentences later, Llttauer cred-
its Lyon with $1768.52 "profits as
above."
Brigadier General Davis, judge advo-
cate general of the army, to whom Sec-
retary Root submitted the mutter for
an opinion, has reported. It Is said,
that this letter seems to be complete
proof that there was an agreement be-
tween Littaauer and Dyon to divide
profits in at least this one contract,
and furnished a prima facie case on
which to base a demand! for the return
af the $49,207.39 paJd I„yon. Whether
or not criminal proceedings will be In-
stituted against Llttauer has not yet
been decided.
The statute governing this feature of
the cane Imposes a fine of $3000 on any
member of congress who shall directly
or Indirectly share In any government
contract.
AFTERMATH OF EXPL08I0N.
Another Death Occurs at Lowell—The
Relief | Fund.
Lowell, Mass., Aug. 1.—There were
very few developments today at the
scene of the powder explosion, though
a ripple of excitement and suspense
was caused by the discovery of what
purported to be a fragment of a hu-
man frame. After a careful examina-
tion, however, It was pronounced to be
a section of a horse'p trunk. Opinion
is divided as to -this, nevertheless, and
one physician was positive In the
opinion that the And was a part of a
human body.
By the death of Eliza Calloway, her
ten-year-old daughter who is still in
the hospital, is left an orphan. The
little one shows signs of improvement,
and if she recovers she will be taken
In charge by an elder brother.
In anticipation of a large number of
visitors tomorrow, boxes for the recep-
tion of contributions for the explosion
victims have been distributed at In-
tervals along the roadways of the af-
flicted district.
The relief fund had reached a total
of $3200 tonight.

This week the Dallas Commercial
club's committee appointed to make a
special canvass for the Dallas county
quota of the Texas World's Fair fund,
will begin an active campaign for the
collection of something like $7000
needed. A meeting of the subcommit-
tees will be called within a day or two
and plans will be made for the sys-
tematic collection of the money.
"It would be a very unfortunate
thing, indeed," said Chairman Frank
Holland, of the club's special commit-
tee, "if Dallas failed to raise its quota.
It would be In the nature of a disgrace
to the city should we fall. I was
talking to Royal A. Ferris the other
day and he asserted that it was one of
the most important propositions com-
ing up before the Dallas public.
Other cities have been prompt in
raising thelt" quota and we have to
hump ourselves If we Intend to keep
Dallas at the head of the list of enter-
prising Texas cities."
The special • Commercial club com-
mittee is composed of Colonel Frank
Holland, chalfjnan; Fred F. Sllney and
Fred B. Jones.
The following notice Is being sent
out to the members of the Commercial
club and other 'citizens, requesting
them to remit:
"Dallas, Tex., Aug. 1.—Dear Sir:
The Texas World's Fair commission,
through their commissioners for Dallas
county, having appealed to the Com-
mercial club for aid in raising the
quota assessed against Dallas county,
the undersigned" were • appointed a
'cbmmittee to undertake the work of
raising this money, which, as you
know, is to bp expended in the erec-
tion of a building and the installation
of an exhibit therein of tha products
of Texas and to be located in St.
Louis at the Louisiana Purchase expo-
sition to be held next year. The ne-
cessity and value of this exhibit have
been thoroughly shown, and the sub-
ject need not be entered Into in this
connection.
"This committee Is of the opinion
that this fund should be mad" up by
a popular subscription, and have
adopted the plan of requesting sub-
scriptions based on a certain propor-
tion of the sum paid by the individual
In the way of clly taxes, say one-tenth
of such sum. That Is, one paying $100
in taxes would contribute $1 to the
fund. It may be said that this would
realize a sum much larger than was
needed, but unfortunately, It has been
found that many people are unwilling
to perform their part in matters of
this kind, depending on • their neigh-
bors to bear their share of the civic
burden as well as their own. Do not
rank yourself with this element; your
assistance is needed, and if Dallas and
Texas have enabled you to prosper and
accumulate, you have an opportunity
now to mark your gratitude and In a
way which should embarrass you not
at all.
"Hand In your- subscription based
on one-tenth of the sum paid by you to
the city for last year's taxes, and let
Dallas' stand to the fore In th!a matter
as In all others. In doing so we be-
lieve that you will have no occasion for
future regrets, but, on the contrary,
will have the consciousness of a duty
performed.
"Trusting that this appeal will bring
an early and satisfactory response, and
relying on the loyalty and patriotism
of our fellow cltlsens, wo are, yours
truly,
"FRANK P. HOLLAND, Chairman.
"FRED B. JONES,
"FRED F. SLINTDT, Committee."
The following is the copy of the
note to be filled out:
$ Dallas, Tex. 190$.
"I hereby agree to pay to the Texas
World's Fair Commission corporation

German family that has lived in Chi-
cago for sixty years. He was a bank-
