A WORLD BEATER
The Illinois Launched This Morning
Christened By Miss Nannie Letter.
Newport News, Oct. 4. There
was never euch a crowd at Newport
News at any previous ship launching
as today when the great battleship
MISS NANNIE LE1TEK.
Illinois was christened. They came
from everywhere, from north, south,
and erpe3ially from the weet.
Governor Tanner of Illinois came last
night, escorting several hundred pro
minent citizens 'from his state. They
took up quarters at Hotel Chamberlain
and were joined by M(st Letter and
her father, who bod arrived on an
earlier train. - la the governor's party
were twenty members oX his staff and
their ladies.
Guests from Washington reached tbe
scene at 9 o'clock, two hours before the
launching. Among the distinguished
visitors from tbe nation's capital were,
Assistant Secretary of tbe Navy Allen,
Chief Constructor Eitchborn, Chief
Eogineer Neville, Capt. Crowenshield.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, and
General Miles. Governor Taylor cf
Virginia, brought up a large party
from Richmond. Long before the hour
for the launching tbe crowd began to
gather about the spot and by 11 o'clock
standing room was worth its area in
nickels everywhere within a block of
the Illinois.
Enthusiastic cheers greeted the ar
rival of the distinguished guests. Few
in the vast crowd could hear the words
spoken by Miss Letter, but nearly a'l
were able to see her.3As she raised the
bottle of wine in her hand and dashed
it again the steel battleship the action
was a eignal for their enthusiasm to
break forth with full force. It is es
timated that fully 20,000 people were
present at tbe launching.
After the launching ceremonies tbe
distinguished guests from Illinois, tbe
members of the cabinet present acd
other persons of prominence we-e
taken to Old Point Comfort as the
guests of the shipbuilding company
and a luncheon was served at Chamberlain's.
A SUCCESS.
The Mountain and Plain Carnival.
Denver, Oct. 4 The Mountain and
Plain carnival opened successfully to
day. There is an immense number of
strangers in the city. The opaning
parade pageant of American progress
was brilliantly successful.
Admiration centered in a series of
magnigcent floats depioting scenes of
tbe late war, which were the
subject of vociferous applause on
tbe part of tbe thousands of
spectators lining the streets. There
was a mammoth representation of the
battleship Oregon. The deeds of the
miniature battleship were twenty feet
in width, and Its masts and smoke
stacks projected tosuch a height that it
could barely pass under the telegraph
wires crossing the streets. The night
features of the festival week will be
ushered in this evening with an elabor
ate and costly pyrotechnic display cal
culated to eclipse anything of the kind
ever seen westof tbe Mississippi.

Will Tell All About It.
Washington, Oot. 4. When Gen
eral Miles appears before tbe war
scandal commission he will be asked to
tell in detail the plans of tbe war de
partment in tbe early stages of the
war. This will bring out the story of
the differences between Miles and Sec
retary Alger over the selection of
civilian officers for responsible posi
tions. A member of Miles staff today told
the details of one plan of tbe com
manding general, which was ignored,
which is pertinent now because of tbe
various charges brought against tbe
staff officers selected from civil life.
When war with Spain was a certainty,
Miles scanned with great care the list
of retired officers of the army, who,
under the law, were subject to
the president's orders in time of
war. He selected from the
retired list 100 officers whose services
were available, and recommended
tb at they be assigned to the different
bureaus of the department in Wash
ington to succeed that many officers on
the active list, who could then be as
signed to duty with the armies in the
field, either as commanders or to res
ponsible staff places. This, Miles be
lieved, would do away with any danger
from inexperienced officers, whose
blunders might prove costly.
It is claimed by Mlles's friends that
the recommendations and list were en
tirely ignored. Instead of appointing ex
perienced officers on the active list for
duty in tbe field and letting equally
expersenced retired officers perform
their duties in tbe war department, the
politicians were allowed to name row
men for field duty, while the regulars
were kept in Washington performing
routine work.
Tbe flood of complaints and charges
which compelled the President to
name the war scandal commission are
indirectly tracable to the grave error
of ignoring tbe commanding general's
recommendations.

Bryan man is the controlling

ance. He wants to know why Fort

The Supposed Murderer From Lord
. sburg Identified by an Officer. .
The delayed train from the west last
night brought to this city Constable
Harden from Lordsburg, N. M., to
identify the young man who was looked
up here Sunday night on a charge of
being implicated In the murder of
Mexican, which ooeurred here last
Saturday night.
Tois morning at 10 o'clock the up
posed murderer was brought from his
cell into tbe office of tbe jail by Jailer
Blacker and Immediately a vigorous
search was made of his clothing. He
bad on two shirts, two pairs of over
alls and two pairs of socks. Nothing
was found on him excepting 75 oente
which was in one of the pockets of his
overalls.
After the examination of his cloth
ing was completed the prisoner start
ed a further investigation by asking;
"What time was this man killed?"
"Where were you between It and 1
o'clock on last Saturday night?" asked
the constable.
"I was in a saloon gambling at that
time."
"What time did you in company 1th
the other two start down tbe rai road
track in the direction of the stock
pen?"
"There were only two of ua."
"What kind of a looking man was he
that you were with?"
"A short, thick-set man, with a
moustache."
"Same man that was killed," said
the constable.
"Did you drink any whisky that
nigbt?"
"Yes, we bought two small bottles
just to pass away tbe time."
"You say that you left your part
ners at the stock yards. What did you
leave them for?"
" We were all coming east on the
freight train and they told me to go
on down tbe track and get on and that
they would get on where they were. I
went as directed and boarded the train
when it came along and supposed
they did the same thing."
"What is tbe murdered man's
name?" (
"I do not know. We were all three
together and neither knew the other's
name."
"Did tbe murdered man have a knife
with him?"
"Yes, he. had a dagger with him
about that long." Indicating with his
haods about a foot long."
As regards to the stains on his over
alls whfeb is supposed to he blood, the
prisoner said that it was axle greeee
which he received while working at
Bowie, his jumper shows similar
stains.
There is- one thing certain; the
prisoner was one of the three men who
were in Lordsburg Saturday and one
of this number was murdered. He
gave bis name as Uvalde SUva and
says that he has been in EI Pa-o be
fore. His borne is in Chihuahua and
he went to Bowie a few weeks ago to
work on tbe railroad.
During the examination tbe pri
soner never flinched. He answered
every question put to bim in a firm,
positive voice and never showed the
slightest nervousness. He will be
taken to Silver City on tbe afternoon
train and will have a hearing tomor
row. The Mexican who was found murder
ed Saturday night was shot through
the bowels and in tbe head and stabbed
in tbe breast close to the heart, and
with all these wounds he lived
several hours, but in a dying condi
tion. He could not speak plain
enough to be understood and could not
tell who the assassin was. When asked
If he had money with him when he
was shot he shook his head in the
affirmative. When asked if the man
w bo shot him took his money, he gave
tbe same answer
The murder occurred tin the S. P.
railroad yards about a mile from tbe
main portion of the town, near the stock
pens..
There has been another Mexican ar
rested in Lordsburg who Is charged
with the same crime. It seems as if
tbe man arrested there was bitter
against tbe murdered man, whom he
claimed bad insulted his wife and that
he would settle matters with bim be
fore morning. Now, the question is,
did he carry out bis threat and murder
this man, or did the boy who was ar
rested here do it?
The murdered man, whose name can
not be learned, is satd to have a wife
living in Juarez and it is also said that
he has been sending her money regu
larly. Fined $5 But Appealed.
