New York, March 24. Considerable
interest is taken by naval ohiciaia here
ind at Washington in the efforta whloh
inventors are making to construct a
shell containing a chemical compound
which, when it strikes the water, will
blaze up and illuminate the surround
ing atmosphere. During the war with
Spain, Rear-Adimral O'Neil, chief of
irdnance, expressed his willingness to
try inventions of this character.
A shell containing oaloinm chloride

charge ol the proving grounds, has re
(Kilted to Admiral O'Neil that the pro
jeotile ia too oumbersome and too light,
turning over and over in its flight,
though when it struck the water it
burned with an excellent light. Snoh
a projectile would be extremely valua
ble in time of war, as a warship equip

able to discharge them at an enemy'
torpedo boat, for instance, and by the
light thus produce would be able to de

Tonne Woman Burned to Death bj
Four Men In South Carolina.
Wadesborough, 8. C, March 24.
Particulars were received today of a re
volting crime committed in Chester
field county a few days ago. Cassie
Boone, a young woman, was enticed
from her home by fonr white men,
carried to the woods near by and as
saulted with knives. The woman wai
gashed with knives in the fleshy part
of her body, the cuts being from foui
to 12 inches in length. Then coal oil
waa poured over her and she was set on
fire and released in the woods, to run
screaming nntil she fell dying. When
found a small braid around the forehead
was the only shred of clothing left on
her body.
Cassie Boone was 20 years old, the
daughter of Uoorge Boone, a farmer.
She was one-quarter Indian. The
girl's reputation, it is said, was not
good. Last Sunday evening she left
her home with Sam Woodward to visit
Vinee Melton. She left there later in
the evening with Tom Steod and James
Jackson, presumably to return to hex
father'a house. Nothing more was
heard of her till she waa seen Monday
night running through the woods.
Koas Jackson, John Jackson, Abb
Kirkly and Jim Verner, reported that
they heard the screaming, and, collect
ing a crowd, went into the woods and
found the girl. Some one threw an
overcoat over the charred and dying
woman, and then summoned help.

of New Tork Superintendent

Albany, N. Y., March 27. The an
nual report of John Mackin, state
superintendent of labor statistics, lays:
"immigration return for the quarter
ended December 81, 1899, ahow an in
crease of 23,012 more than in the last
three month of 1898. In the latter
quarter the arrivals numbered 61,880;
in the same three months of 1899, 74,
892. The largest proportionate gain of
those race recording at least 2,000 ar
rivals waa made by the Slovak. The
Polish race was second, the Crotiani
and Slavonian third.
'In point of numbers the Southern
Italians still retain the lead in immi
gration, the arrivals of that race being
nearly one-fourth of the total. There
were 18,149, or 24.2 per cent, of that
class who landed during the quartet
which ended last December. Next in
the numerical order come the He

vaks, 6,226; Germans, 6,118; Scandi

4.140, and Irish, 3,745. .
"Of the 72,892 immigrants arriving
during the quarter, four-fifths wen
destined to the states composing tht
North Atlantio division, of which
group the state of New York received
the largest number. Those who went
to the West division numbered 2,386."

Washington, March 24. The senate

treaty between the United States and
Great Britain relative to the estates of
citizens of one country who die in the

no debate today, but several additions
were accepted. Article 2 was amended
proposed operations do not, in fact, in
terfere with navigation. All applica
tions made nnder this statute have ac
cordingly, so far aa it has been posei
ble to dispose of them, received favor
able attention. No application of this
description lias been denied. Upon
two, permits have been granted. Upon
a third, papers had been prepared and
were awaiting the secretary of war's
signature at the time of the passage of
your resolution. Three others were
approved by the chief of engineers, and
were in the hands of the jndie-advo

the office of the chief of engineers in
process of examination upon the ques

in the office of the secretary of war,
and will today -be sent to the chief of

by congress, the eeoretary of war will

enoiea of the United States, "only upon
direction of the lawmaking power of
the Uuitod States," thus relieving the
treaty of the criticism that it conferred
too great power upon the president.
Article 6 was amended so aa to make
it apply only to the right of disposing
or property. As drafted, Jhe treat;
conferred upon the subjects of Great
Britain and upon those of the United
States in Great Britain "the same right
in aoquiring possessions or disposing of
property" as ia possessed by the citi
sens of the country itself; the words
"aoquiring" and "possessing" were
stricken out. As amended, the treaty
was ratified by an almost unanimom
vote.
