ROMANCE ON THE INDIANA

EN9IG.V rrwmiA* AND MISS CAR It ArnCtt MARRIED.

Sh6 Followed Her Sailor Cover— Oe eolation at Tortograe — The Great Warehlpa There—How the Men Are TborotiKhly Drilled.

Key West, March 16.—(Special Cable to the New York Herald—Copyrighted.)—A massive, low-lying fortification, over8prea<ltTuc the demolate coral key upon which it was erected, and a sentinel lighthouse, with vistas of green seas crisping hi foam over encircling reefs; a schooner sailing into the blue beyond, near by three ships of war, and all in the blaze of a never-ending summer. These were my impressions of Tortugas and its surroundings as I looked upon them for the first time to-day. Tortugas is Just now a shining mark for popular Interest, not so much on its own account as because it Is the rendezvous for the battleships of the North Atlantic fleet. It was to gain an insight Into the life that they led there that I paid a visit to the place. I found no life at all In the common acceptation of the word, but I stumbled upon a most charming romance, which I wMl tell you of before going any further. It Is of the marriage of a gallant young officer of the battleship Indiana, Ensign Cuahnvan, and Miss Carraher, of Old Point Comfort, Va. The two had been engaged for several months, and the marriage had been set for June. Then arose the talk of war, and Miss Carraher came on here to be near her sweetheart, traveling as the guest of Mrs. Evans, wife of Capt. R. D. Evans, now on duty in these waters as lighthouse inspector of the district. The ensign met his fiancee lojft. week, and yesterday they were married. The chaplain of the Indiana performed the ceremony. The two are now quartered on the ancient fortress at Tortugas, spending their honeymoon as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Williams. The bridegroom had a watch to stand yesterday and rowed off i to the Indiana to make hds tour of duty. Captain Taylor espied him as he came alongside and asked his mission. The young officer explained, whereupon his commander ordered his Immediate return to the fort and to his bride. "Think I would trust my ship to a young man Just one day married?" Capt. Taylor was heard to remark as the bridegroom pulled away. A Dreary Place. To return to Tortugas and its fortress, the little world of this bride and bridegroom. The tiny feland measures onequarter of a mile in one direction, and about one-flfth of a mile in the other. Upon it rests the majestic ruin of that $14,000,000 fortress which was built during the days when Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War. Bitter desolation is there now. Sea gulls screech drearily over the grass-grown parapets and lizards bask on the disused guns and their time-worn carriages. From the inner side of the fort a few cocoanut tree* nod a greeting with their disreputable rags of leaves. Mounds of round shot, as obsolete as the fort itself, show here and there about the parade ground, and long rows of these metal globulars of a vanished age of warfare show where walks were once intended to exist. On one side a group of banyan trees lift their naked arms In supplication to an empty sky. as if to, be relieved Of the dreariness of it all, and on the other are traces of a misdirected attempt at landscape gardening, long ago corrected by neglect. < Nowhere is there a point of rest for the wearied eye. If the world was made of nothing there seems plenty of material Around Tortugas for another effort. The desert sea is all around, and the Iona palm tree* bending over their shadows in the sand seem to droop from sheer loneliness and Isolation. Human beings there are as scarce, there being half a score only on the Island and its adjoining key, Bird island, where Is located tho hospital of the United States Marine Hospital Service. This building has been quite populous of late, the survivors ot - the Maine disaster having been brought there from Havana to undergo the usual period of observation, but ail of these have been transferred now, and the place has resumed its normal quiet. The key on which the fort is built is honeycombed with dstierns and with dungeons. These dungeons are so black that a match struck within them seems to intensify the gloom. No prisoners are there now, but the dark walls bear many names and toseriptione traced by captive hands in the days of the long ago. In one comer of the fortress lies the wreck of evaporators, which tell their own legend of the smoke-blown days of 1861, when the fortrews was crowded with Confederate prisoners, and a water famine broke out. The place has more than It needs Just now, the many cisterns which have been dug beneath the fort holding a reservoir ample enough to supply any army or a fleet. Garrison of One Man. The garrison of the fort connlsts of one man, an ordnance sergeant. Its oM-type guns are utterly useless, and unless defended by tho navy the place could be captured by on armed boat's crew. I have been told that there is a warm discussion on as to whether the place is worth fortifying or not, the army, navy and engineers corps all holding different opinions about the matter. The navy, with a One blue water, deep-set confidence In Itself, thinks Tortugas should receive Its full quota of mortars and directfiring guns. and a sufficient force should be maintained to hold It against all totners. not so much on account of the actual need this country might have for It. but to prevent It faJhng Into the hands ' of an anemy. As an enemy’s outpost, it was explained to me, it would do this country more harm than Its possession could ever do us good. A board of naval officers, consisting of Lieutenant-Commanders Rodgers, Harlow and Schroeder, were considering at the time that I was there the advisability of recommending that the fortress be used as a place for storing

IT'S ALL TALK Yes, BUt It’s Indianapolis Talk, the Kind That Tells In Indianapolis

Talk that tells. Tplk that’s Indorsed. Everyday talk by people that know. City talk—kidney talk. Do kidneys talk? Well, yes, both loud and long. You should learn the kidney language. Backache in kidney talk means kidney ache. Lame back means lame kidneys. Weak back means weak kidneys. A bad back Is simply The kidneys talking trouble. Here’s Indianapolis talk and kidney talk. Mrs W. M. Hunt, of 1541 Bates street, says: "I have suffered from kidney trouble for two years, accompanied by a dull, dragvtag P*ln across my back, which at times was so severe that I was almost unable to do any hounework. My back was mo weak that when stooping or lifting the least thing the pain was almply terrible. There was also a kidney weakness which was very annoying and distressing. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised In our papers, and sp highly recommended that I had my husband get me a box at Henry J- Huder s drug store. I used them and had not taken the entire box before the pain* In my back ceased and the other difficulties were relieved. Since ualng them I have had one slight recurrence of the pain In ray back, but a fear dose* of Doan’s Kidney Pill* promptly relieved It. I will always keep them on hand, so om to have them by me. should I feel the need of such a remedy at any future time.’' Doan’s Kidney PHI* are for sale by all dealers. Price 50 cent*.

coal for the use of the North Atlantic fleet. I have reason to believe that the board will recommend that if the Government feels the need of a supply of coal at Tortuga* it should, in the present undefended condition of the place, stow Us coal In barges, these to be sunk upon the appearance of an enemy. Tortugas is well defended now. but it is not iikely that its defenders would remain long in that locality should hostilities break out. Anchored off the fortress and lying deep in the water like tigers crouching for a spring are the three battleships which America is willing to match against any other of their type afloat There is the superb Indiana, with her splendid battery of four thirteen-inch and eight eight-inch rifles; lying hear her is her sister ship, the Massachusetts. Not far away is anchored the flagship of the squadron, the battleship Texas, Capt. John W. Phillip commanding. These vessels have warlike maneuvers anil exercises every day, and if any enemy ever catches them napping such enemy will be extraordinarily lucky. Every day the crews are drilled at the heavy guns, and gun crews are continuously

being practiced at targets. To Keep the Crews Alert.

To keep the crews awake o' night a steam launch, painted green. Is sent out to make a sham torpedo attack on any or all of the ships, and her crew is urged to range within striking distance of their friends, the enemy, without being discovered by flashing searchlights. First one is successful and then the other. The men in the improvised torpedo launch have high confidence in that method of warfare, and are taught to believe that a ship caught at anchor by a torpedoboat Is destroyed. On the other hand, the gun captains have been brought up to the conviction that any torpedo-boat making a dasfh at a battleship, whether at anchor or not, is a torpedo-boat destroyed. And H is as it should be. The men of the fleet have no recreation just now. With them it is drill every day, with talk of war and prize money be-

tween times.

And prepared for war this flest undoubtedly Is. From commander to messenger boy every one attached to any ship of tho fleet knows just what is expected of him, and this double drill to which every one is being subjected produces no murmurs anywhere. To me the discipline seems superb, and the fighting efficiency unequaled. Through the courtesy of one of the commanding officers I w f as present on board one of tho battleships to-day when the drum sounded to general quarters. In an Incredibly short time every man was at his station. When the customary reports of "ready” had been made by the several division officers I was invited into one of the turrets to see the way these big guns are handled in a mimic fray. The officer in command of the turrets Invited me into one

f the firing seats.

iAfter explaining to me the mysteries f the telescopic sight he touched a baton somewhere and tfie massive gun, fhlch had been run for loading, was run ut to "battery.” A moment the horizon ine went skimming through the slit on he heavy armor through which my telecoplc sight was fixed, and as tho rossed line in the sight cut on the nidship section of a far-away schooner, he target • agreed upon, my friend ouched another button, and a primer xplodcd in the heavy gun. Looking upon he massive citadel of steel and ponderius weapon I marveled much at the mehanlcal excellence by which this was iccomplished with so much celerity and

Well-Knowu Dubuque Lawyer Shot by an I'nknown Man.

Dubuque, Ie», March Kt-^ix shots rang out at 5 o’clock last evening, and the startled occupants of an office building, rushing Into th& apartments of Capt. William O.

DEMOCRATS ARE WORRIED-

THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADJOIRXMENT OK CONGRESS.

They Want to Make Political Capital Out of It—The Annexation of Hawaii Resolutions — Other News from Washington.

[Special to The Indianapolis News-1 Washington, X*. C., March 16.—Democratic Senators and Representatives have, been brought face to face with a responsibility they would gladly shirk, : for political reasons. It appears to-day to rest with the Democratic Representatives whether or not the House will agree to an early adjournment. The Democrats are divided on the proposition. In caucu*. the House Democrats have declared for Intervention in behalf of Cuba, and every move the minority has made in this Congress has been consistent with the declaration. But the leaders have conceived the Idea it would be good politics from the Democratic standpoint, to permit the Republicans to adjourn Congress before reaching a conclusion on the Cuban question. The Democrats believe such a course would make the House unpopular with the country, but the blame would fall on Republicans who control. The popular resentment expected to follow in the fall election* would, they agree, result to the benefit of the Democrats. The Cuban question. how r ever, has so completely overshadowed party lines in Congress that Democratic Representatives have wondered, if, after all, the country would not hold Individual representative* responsible, regardless of party lines. So the Democrats are much worried as to the course they should pursue for the best political results. As the case stands, there are enough Republican members pledged to vote aginst early adjournment. when added to the entire Democratic vote, to prevent an adjournment resolution from passing. The Senate, to this calculation, has been left out, for the chief interest now centers in the House and the possibility whether Speaker Reed will continue in undisputed authority in his party, me dent favors prompt adjournment; he is afraid of hasty or ill-advised action by Congress. .

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION. An Effort to Accomplish It by a Joint Resolution. ■Washington, D. C., March 16.—The Senate committee on foreign relations today agreed to recommend that the Hawaiian islands be annexed by legislation, ir open session, and agreed upon a Joint resolution for the accomplishment of this purpose, which Senator Davis was authorized to report to the Senate. Later In the Senate chamber, Senator Davis reported a Joint resolution providing for the annexation of the Hawaiian islands. The joint resolution went to the calendar. Senator Davis did not give any notice of calling it up. ANOTHER, INDIANA MAN. PerTy Glascock Nominated for Consal at Baracoa, Cuba. Washington, D.

F.0R PRIMARY ELECTIONS. The New Law Found to Work Successfully In Chicago. Chicago, March 16.—The new primary election law has been tested by the Democrats, and found to be a success, all those who wished to vote being able to do so without interference. In a large majority of the wards the primary election passed without disturbances, but in the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth the police were called to preserve the peace. The total number of ballots cast in the city is estimated to have been between 30 and 40 per cent, of the total Democratic vote. In some of the wards, like the Twenty-second, where the fighting was warm, it ran as high as 60 per cent. This is regarded by the friends of the new law as a great improvement over the nomination of Candidates by less than 1 per cent, of the toal vote. Wai-d primaries have been held heretofore In which not above twenty votes were cast of a total party vote of 3,000.

THE REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.

'Action Taken l»y the Committee of the Presbyterian Church.

Pittsburg, March 16.—The permanent committee on temperance of the Presbyterian General Assembly met yesterday to hear the action of the sub-committee appointed at last Tuesday’s meeting on the cireuiar letter outlining the stand of the committee on the question of temperance in the educational institutions of the church. The report adopted unanimously by the members of the committee presejit and addressed to the chairmen of the Presbyterian committees on temperance was like that prepared last week, except in the modification of the section relating to educational institutions. No stand is taken against Princeton or any other college by name, but parents are warned against the encouragement of the use of intoxicants. The amended section, in part. Is as follows: “A larger number than ever before of the youth of Presbyterian families aro now being sent from home to receive instruction in higher institutions of learning. “Is it not incumbent at this time on all our church courts in the discharge of their pastoral responsibilities, to faithfully forewarn parents of the temptations that may be set their sons as they enter upon college life? The adversary, knowing well the value of the game he would ensnare, has set his alcoholic mantraps with hellmsh cunning around some of our colleges. Parents who have taught their children to pray ‘lead us not into temptation’ should solemnly consider whether at ti^s momentous epoch of their lives their boys, from whom the restraints of home have been just removed, should be exposed to tills peril. “The Presbyterian church has long been teaching that temperance is total abstinence from imoxicants—not their moderate use—and that the traffic, licensed or unlicensed, is a curse to be constantly combated by every Christian citizen. In these vitally important principles other branches of Christ’s Church concur. “May they be kept irt mind of it by parents when they make selection of a college for their sons. Of course, intemperance is not the only peril to which our youth are exposed, but unquestionably on no other rock are so many preciously freighted lives wrecked. Surely Christian trustees and professors, even in a college not amenable to ecclesiastical authority, should be ready to consider appeals for the correction of unfavorable conditions in their institution or In its environments, whether those appeals come from Christian bodies or individuals. “Meanwhile, let parents affectionately be reminded that the moral and spiritual interests be not subordinated to the intellectual. The existence in any institution of demoralizing influences can not be atoned for by any affluence of facilities for scientific and literary Culture. •What shall It profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ ” — — O— > Killed by n Burglar. Cameron, Mo., March 16.—City Marshal George H. Leonard was murdered to-day by a negro burglar whom he had arrested. Leonard was searching the prisoner when the negro grabbed the marshal s revolver and shot him twice. Posses are in pursuit of the murderer.
