the bill was published exactly as re-

the heavy military task before the gov-

OL’ll MERCHANT MARINE.
Cleveland. Ohio, October 27—The
secretary of the navy. in a letter to a
local paper. says he is heartily in is
vor of the upbuilding of the merchant
marine for the following reasons: By
reason of the financial return which
would follow from carrying out con-
stantly increasing exports. from the
increased buliiiess it would give out
shipyards: and because it would fur-
nish a reserve of seamen upon which
the navy could draw in case of war.

~m—-.~.—.
New York. October 27-Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. second living son
of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt. is
made rcsliluary legatee under his fath-
er's will, while the eldest son, Cornel-
ius. is left only 8500.000 absolutely and
$1,000,000 in trust. Alfred has. how-
ever, added $6,125,000 to his older
brother's share so as to put him on an
equality with his younger sister and
younger brother. The estate is now
estimated at something over $70,000.-
000 of which between $40,000,000 and
cat. the income only, but half abso-
lutely, when he is thirty years old, and
the other half absolutely when he is
thirty-five. '
As a preliminary to the filing of the
will today summary of the document
was given out last night by Senator
Depew at his residence. By the terms
eldest son. whose marriage with Grace
Wilson created a breach between him
and his father. gets only the two he-
quasts mentioned. One of those, the
$500,000 given absolutely, is part of a
$5,000.000 fund left by the late W. H.
Vanderbilt. over which the late Corn-
elitts had the power of appointment.
As to the trust fund of $1,000,000 (Jor-
nelius is to receive the income only,
and the some is to go to his children
at his death. Cornelius receives none
of the family heirlooms. The medal
congress gave to Commodore Vander-
bilt goes to Alfred, to bc transmita
ted to his eldest son, and so on down
thel ins of eldest sons. The will practlv
cally establishes Alfred as the eldest
son. Speculation concerning Corneliue'
action in the event of being cut off by
the terms of the will was set at rest
last night. when Senator Dcpow, as
an appendix to the will, gave the fol-
lowing statement:
“thn Alfred Vanderbilt returned
he decided from brotherly affections
and for family harmony to take out of
his own inheritance and give to his
brother Cornelius a sum sufficient to
make the. fortune of Cornelius the
same as that of his brothers and sis-
ters. This has been accepted by Cor-
nelius in the same spirit."
The brothers and sisters do not all
fare alike, but the sum which Cornel-
ius will receive irom,his brother is
80.12.13.000. According to the win
three of the other four children reccivc
bequests either outright or in trusc
which amount to $5,125,000 more than
Cornelius rot-elves, under the will. Mrs.
flcrtrutlc Whitney" takes a million more
under a codicil.

BURNING 017 THE STEI’SON.
Graphic Story of the Burning ofihe ship
Told by the Captain’s Wile.
San Francisco, October .7—Mrs. P.
W. Patton, wife of Captain Patton.
whose vessel. the American ship
Gcorge ll. Stetson. was burned off the
coast of Formosa about two months
ago, has arrived here. and tells a gra—
phic story of the destruction of the
vessel. She was the only woman
aboard. '
"i did not understand at first when
ton, "but a moment later my husband
came into the cabin anti told me to hur-
ry and clothe the baby and myself for
a’ trip in an open boat. By the time
i was clothed and reached the deck
with the baby the flames had got as far
aft as the main mast and the rigging
almost above my head was ablaze.
“The long boat was in the water
alongside. with eight of the crew in
it, and the baby was carried down a
flimsy Jacob's ladder into it by one of
the sailors, and I followed. Just as i
got into the boat there was a loud roar
and the skylight and roof of the cab-
in was lifted off by an explosion of the
gases that had been formed by the
flames aft. My husband and his two
mates were at the rail of the ship aft
when the explosion came and they lost
no time in getting into the boat. and
the painter was cast off. A momcnt
later the whole ship was a mass of
flames from stem‘to stern. and as we
pulled away the great lower mainmast
fell. A few moments later there was a
sudden roll and all that remained of
the once beautiful ship went down into
the waves. leaving us in the darkness.
"Two days and two nights we were
in that host. About noon of the sec-
ond day we saw land and that cvcning
we landed on the little island of Ti
l’in Tzn. which was taken from the
Chinese by the Japanese during the
recent war between these nations. We
landed at a small village of the natives
curiosities the people of that village
had ever seen."
The George B. Stetson was bound
from Portland. Oregon. for Tien Tsin
with a cargo of railroad lumber. in
command of Captain P. W. Patton.
She had a crew of twenty men. Ev.
erything went well on the voyage until
when 0! the east coast of Formosa on
the evening of September 10. Shortly
after supper had been served smoke
was discovered coming up out of the
fore peak. Captain Patton tried to
rally his men to fight the names. but
everywhere panic-stricken people
stood. The boats forward

from the ship that it was with difficulty
