The bureau of equipment announced that sixteen naval stations at different ports of the United States have been equipped with the wireless system, nine others are equipped and will be manned in a few weeks. In a letter to Supt. Brownson of the naval academy, Secretary Morton expresses his emphatic disapproval of the efforts to influence the appointment of the midshipmen to certain ships and declares that personal worth and the good of the service alone must be the guides. List of Casualties. Nelson Jenks, an old soldier, who resided on a farm near Riceville, Iowa, fell from a load of hay and broke his neck, dying instantly. Damages of $30,000 were done to the Humboldt Herald and the Kansas Derrick company at Humboldt, Kan., by fire. It burned several stores. Seth Godfrey, L. F. Godfrey and Grover E.

Count Peter Kapnist, Russian ambassador at Vienna, is dead from an epileptic stroke. A Greek band on Dec. 3 murdered twenty-four Bulgarians in the village of Aintos, near Sorovitch, Salonica. Temple's second periodic comet was observed on its return by the astronomer, M. Javelle, at Nice, on Nov. 3. The Servian cabinet has resigned on account of a disagreement between the ministers over the building of new railroads.

William Charles shot and killed James Smith at the home of the latter in the west part of Springfield, Ill. Charles escaped. Domestic troubles are assigned as the cause. Receiver A. A. Stacel of the Newark Savings bank has announced that the shortage of James F. Lingafelter in the savings bank, as disclosed by an examination of the books, is about $75,000. William Wenkstein, an inmate of the soldiers' home at Marshalltown, Iowa, committed suicide by hanging. His body was found in a lodging house in the city. No cause for the suicide is known. Richard A. Canfield pleaded guilty before Judge Cowing in New York to an indictment charging him with keeping a gambling house and was fined $1,000. His manager was fined the same amount. The appellate court at Frankfort, Ky., reversed the case of Caleb Powers granting him a new trial. He is under sentence of death, charged with complicity in the assassination of Gov. Goebel. Albert H. Brown, Joseph and Charles Ricker and Thomas Evans were given penitentiary sentences, having been convicted at Kansas City of using the mails to defraud. They came to Kansas City from St. Paul two years ago. That two young men found dead, locked in each other's arms, entered into an agreement to committ suicide simultaneously by gas, is the belief of the New York police.

Karl Karrer, charged with robbing the Bank of Treynor, Iowa, pleaded guilty to the charge. He forced Miss Frances Flood, assistant cashier, at the point of a revolver to hand him $1,522 of the bank's funds. All but $100 was recovered. Out of 139 decoy prescriptions sent out by the state board of pharmacy to Chicago druggists to be filled, 29 contained no trace of the drug called for, and only 31 were pure. As a result the board will prosecute 100 druggists for selling impure drugs. Saying they were in fear of their lives when they made it, four white men, J. L. McKinney, W. R. McKinney, E. A. Donaldson and W. B. Adams, charged by the United States officials with robbing the postoffice at Pollock, La., have repudiated a confession of guilt.
