L BORDEN AT HALIFAX\nMEETS WITH GOOD RECEPTION\nAND MAKES A PARTICULARIZED INDICTMENT OF PRESENT\nGOVERNMENT\u2014ADOPTION OF\n; HALIFAX PLATFORM.\nrtn*Mal to The Dailv Newa.)\nHALIFAX, Sept 15.\u2014R. L. Borden\nwas supported at his appearance here\nyesterday by premiers Hazen and Roblin, and Sec. Hanna of Ontario. He addressed a large and interested meeting.\nPromising that Justice must prevail ln\nthe end the conservative leader denounced corruption in any place, declaring\nthat he preferred defeat. He took up the\nliberal platform of 1893 and piecemeal\npointed out how far separated were the\nideals of then and now.\nThe denunciation of protection and\nreciprocity with the United States were\nthe two first planks which had not even\nheen attemtped. As to the plank of purity ot administration, one had but to\nchange the names of the parties now to\ncondemn the liberals.\nFlank four, referring with alarm to\nIncreased expenditure, was then dealt\nwith and Mr Borden then turned his attention to plank 5 declaring the inalienable right of the commons to Inquire\ninto all matters dealing with public expenditures and denunciaton of the system of enquiries by royal commissions\nappointed by the accused. In this re-\n, gard the opposition leader adverted to\na number of scandals which the opposition had sought to ventilate.during the\nlast two years, including the Atlantic\nTrading company, dredging contracts\nand the affairs of the marine department, which he said tbe commission had\ndenounced in more extravagant terms\nthan any of the opposition members. He\ndeclared that sir Wilfrid Laurier was acquainted with the state of affairs of the\nmarine and fisheries department a long\ntime before the report of the civil service commission but his purpose was\nconcealment. it .._ . *, \u25a0 - \u25a0,.,\n'In this connection Mr. Borden referred to Joe Martin's statement before the\nInternational fisheries commission that\nnever before had there been so much\ncorruption in public life, winding up with\nthe comment on the refusal of the witnesses to answer questions and the ac-\nqulesence of the committee majorities\nin stifling inquiries.\nThe liberals burning zeal for economy\nwas not so evident in the Increase from\n161,000,000 to $110,000,000 expenditures.\nReferring to the Independence of parliament Mr. Borden said 76 memebers had\nbeen appointed to positions of emolument ond conjectured this would account\nfor their solid phalanx ln obstructing enquiry.\nThe leader then toolc up the timber\nscandals Into which he entered with\nconsiderable detail stating that he was\nnot sure how far restitution was probable.\nAfter dealing with the electorlal programme and the Dominion franchise bill\nwith Its obnoxious clauses which were\nwithdrawn and with the tenth clause\nregarding the promse to ascertain and to\ncarry out the wishes of the people in\nthe matter of temperance, a plebiscite\non which was taRen and Its results Ignored. Borden then adverted to the\nHalifax platform pointing to the similarity to it of much of the recent legislation.\nAfter stating that the Halifax platform had been endorsed by Pearly every\nconservative convention, Mr. Borden\nturned his attention to the Quebec\nirldge, the cancelling of sir Charles Topper's contract for a fast trans-Atlantic\nservice an(l transcontnental railway, remarking It was estimated at not more\nthan \"52,000,000, whereas the government's present figures indicated It would\ncost 1200,000,000 and he (Borden) opined\nbefore Its completion the national .debt\nWould be doubled.\nA clause oein Inserted by the conservatives was eliminated by liberals on\ntaking up negotiations with Japanese\nwith the result that they had to send the\npostmaster general to Japan to aBk them\nto forego treaty, given rights, after the\nVancouver riots. He concluded his arraignment of the government by saying\nIt was time for a change and by ac-\nknowledgng the presence and assistance\nof the provincial ministers. ,\nFRUIT GR0WERSC0MBINE\n\u2014 I\nTO FORM A BETTER CAPITALIZED\nORGANIZATION\nGENERAL MEETING TO BE HELD\nAT A LATER DATE.\nThere was a meeting of the directors\not the Kotoenay Fruit Growers' association held yesterday afternoon ln response to a call from the president, H.\nSelouB ,to consider the report of the re-\n-\u00a7 aults of secretary R. C. Brock's lxvt-9-\ntifcatlons at the office of the Central\nExchange at Revelstoke. A,\\so to consider the steps which are being taken by\nthe executive of the Central Exchange\nto bring about a more complete and sat\nisfactory handling of the farm products\nof' the province and particularly of the\nKootenay district.\nAt the meeting of the Kootenay fruit\ngrowers the following resolution, re-\nepecting and arising from these considerations, waB passed.\n\"Moved by R. W. Hulbert and seconded by J. iW. Ford and unanimously resolved that thls.board of directors, while\nrealizing that the association in the\npast has made the grave mistake of endeavoring to carry on a large commercial enterprise on a small capital, yet\nalso fully realizing the absolute necessity\nof co-operation ot all fruit growers ami\nto this end recommend the dissolution\nof the existing association with a view\ntowards entering on a larger and more\ncomprehensive scheme of co-operation\nwhich will he laid before the members\nat a general meeting to be held at an\nearly date.\"\nThis action of the directorate, which\nwill have to he confirmed or negatived\nby the general meeting of tbe members\nof the association, which Is presently to\nfollow, has come about through what are\nsaid to be mistakes which have been\nmade in this and In previous years In\nregard to marketing, packing, and growing, such as are more or less incident\nto the upgrowth of all enterprises of\nthis nature where a large number of\npersons of similar interests but of vastly dissimilar training are Intimately as-\nsoclated.\nIt is not In the least probable that the\nKootenay Fruit Growers' association will\ncease to exist in the sense that there\nwill no longer be a number of ranchers\njoined together for the better growing\nand marketing of their produce. On the\ncontrary it would seem to be far more\nlikely, that the action taken yesterday\nwill result in the formation of a yet\nmore aggressive and far better capitalized organization.\nWith respect to this, secretary R. C.\nBrock, seen after the meeting said:\n\"While It Is true that the most successful\nfruit growers- organization of any in\nthis western country, that of Hood River,\nworked a good business on a small capitalization, yet It must be remembered\nthat that community had a large amount\nof produce at the time of organization,\nwhich stood In the place of capital. Communities with hut a small product that\nIs to say, growing communities, never\nwithin my knowledge have been successful In handling their produce on a small\ncapitalization. Realizing this some\nmonths ago I began here to interest the\nfruit growers of this district in putting\nup a larger amount of capital and I am\nsatisfied that there are a sufficient number of broad minded men In. this community to put the matter through. Success Ib assured If each will contribute according to his means. One thing Is car-\n: tain and that is that no individual effort, unless directed on a scale equal to\nthe combined wealth of all the members\nof the Kootenay Fruit Growers* association, can result in anything else hut failure. V,\n\"Two of the great drawbacks here has\nheen the lack of a cannery to take the\nsofter berries and also the lack of a cold\nstorage plant In which to receive the\nshipping berries. Such facilities have\nJieen with the Hood River people since\ntheir start and In the opinion of B. H.\nShephard, who has been manager of the\nstrawberry and apple growers unions for\nyears, the man who has made them what\nthey are today the Hood River people\nwould have failed at the very start had\n\u25a0 they not had these facilities entirely\nlacking In this district.\n\"Yet I found on my recent visit to the\nHood River last week that In despite\nof the facilities and the buildings which\nthe Hood River people have possessed\nfor years that they were now determined\nIn Increase their plant. Over $150,000\nhad been raised by the ranchers to provide more buildings in the home district\nalone and this despite of the the fact\nthat there will be a shipment this year\nof 300,000 boxes of apples and over 100,-\n000 boxes of Btrawberrles with all the\ncapital which these represent. Jn fact\nunless the Kootenay fruit growers are\nwilling to do something on the same\nlines they can never hope to successfully rival the enterprising men of Hood\nRiver. Hood River In Its Inception made\nmany mistakes, just as does any new\nconcern, whether It be individual or\nwhether lt be corporate and it Is merely\na matter of pluck and perserverance\nwhich will carry things through.\"\nIt sems to bo, from enquiry among the\nfruit growers that some such scheme as\nthis outlined by Mr. Brock, which has\nthe hearty approval of the directors, Is\n.finding high favor among many of the\nfruit growers of* Nelson. The experience\nof the past Is only rousing a keener\ndetermination among them ft prnfH !.*-\u25a0\nthis experience and eventually establish\nthe industry on a basis as least as good\nas that of Hood River.\nROYAL CITY PIONEER.\nHad Lived In New Westminster for\nNearly Fifty Years.\nVANCOUVER, Sept. 15.\u2014Another of\nthe pioneers of New Westminster passed away after a lingering Illness.

The ambassador\ntransmitted these cordial expressions to\nhiB government and Herr Stamhoch repeated similar expressions of good will\nto the Spanish chare d'affaires.\nA provisional examination of the joint\nFrench-Spanish note on the subject of\nthe recognition of Mulal Hafld as sultan\nof Morocco which was transmitted to the\npowers signatory to the Alegclras conference yesterday, causes the impression\nat the German foreign office that the\nnote is only the first document in what\nIs likely to be an extended correspondence between the powers.' The separation .of. the question concerning cost\nof occupation by French troops from the\nconditions by which Mulai Hafid is to\nbe recognized, is considered here as\nsomewhat simplifying the controversy,\nthough in the end the cost of occupation fa likely to be a hard problem to\nsolve, depending much upon how the accounts are to be returned.\nThe German reply will not be returned to the French and Spanish governments until after deliberate consideration, probably of several weeks.\nAmong the points upon which Germany is likely to ask fnr fuller lnforma-\ntiton from France and Spain Is the\nparagraph concerning Mulal Hafid's acceptance of all the treaties entered into by Abdul Aziz who fs supposed to\nhave made some secret conventions\nwith France while M. Reghnult was\nFrench minister at Tangier, and the\npowers can with propriety demand Information regarding these agreements.\nPARIS, Sept. 15.\u2014The Paris newspapers praise the Franco-Spanish note,\nthe moderation and disinterestedness\nof which tbey hold, cannot tail to bo\napparent to all parties. Every section\nof the press show a tendency to consider that, its scrupulousness has been\ncarried to excess. The papers insist\nthat the spirit of justice and disinterestedness of tlie note must not be\ntaken to imply that France and Spain\nwill abandon their rights, notably for\ntbe recovery of the expenses of the\nmilitary occupation, but declares on\nthe otlier hand that tbo Franco-British\nzeal for general interests give these\ntwo nations a stronger right to demand satisfaction for tbelr own interests.\nbrleflJ^Ufi^ W\/tyt 3beQhop^^ates\nshortly afte^^-o-clackJafitHrtght to return to his home when he was accosted\nby eight or ten strikers, who wlBhed\nto know whether he intended to quit\nwork or not, Alarmed at their aggressive attitude he started to run, when\nhe saw aother group of men in front\nand saw a shot fired which grazed two\nof the fingers on his right band.

V. R. mechanics strike last night, wben a man, alleged to be Daniel M. Hepner, discharged a 38 calibre revolver almost\npoint blank at Robert Kirk, one of the\nstriking mechanics seriously wounding\nhim in the abdomen.\nTho victim was seated with a uum-\nbtr of companions near the entrance\nto tlie west gates, when an unknown\nman walked out of tiie yards. Kirk was\nreluctant to let the stranger proceed\nand following him n short distance,\naccosted the man and enquired if lie\nwas employed In the yards. For an\nanswer the other man drew a large\nBlzed revolver and wheeling around\npointed it directly at Kirk at the same\ntime exclaiming in an excited voice:\n\"Keep back there or I'll shoot.\"\nKirk said to the man, \"You have\ndone yourself now, you will be arrested for having a revolver.\"\nHe had hardly stopped speaking\nwhen the gun flashed fire and Kirk\nfel to the ground, the bullet having\nentered the right side of the body two\nIches above the hip bone. During the\nexcitement the perpetrator of the deed\nescaped, but was arrested later and\nlodged In jail. Kirk was taken to the\ngeneral hospital, where an operation\nwas performed. The wound ts a serious one, but he may recover. Hepner\ndenies all knowledge of tbe shooting.\nA fresh aspect is thrown op tbe\nshooting of Robert Kirk, a striker, last\nnight at Weston by the story of defense, which, if correct, makes the\nwhole affair more replete with sensation than ever. Hepner, the man who\nwas arrested on suspicion appeared in\ncourt tbls morning, but the case was\nremanded for a week by request of the\nprosecution. Daniel Hepner is n\nyoung man of about 21. years of age and\nworking ln tbe C. P. R. stores. He is\nthus not n strike breaken at all. Hfs\nstory which is very, largely borne out\nby ine C. P.

Many\nof the men In the village had been\nloafers, gamblers and drunkards, the\nwomen in rags, the children starving.\nAcquaintance with the scriptures had\nworked strilting changes and awakened the intellectual activity. Schools\nhad been Instituted through the fresh\nenergy of the Christians. They had\nsent to China for books on geography,\nhistory and political economy as_ well\nas commentaries on the scriptures.\nThen tbey asked why the western nations had left them so far behind In\ncivilization. There followed an awakening of patriotism and desire for the\nuplifting of their people. He himself\nhad been welcomed with munificent\nhospitality, associated with their increasing wealth. A new sense of brotherhood had led to the indicating of the\nrights of outcast classes. Every nation lived by its ideals, and the ideals\nof the Asiatic nations were changing\ns.i that, before many years, those nations would rise up and call us to Judgment.\nIn reply to a question, Mr. Kenmure said that tbe condition of the\nKorean nation had heen hopeless; but\nChristianity was producing a marvellous change.\nIn the course of the evening a charming musical program was rendered.\nMiss Richardson and Mr. Holloway\ncontributing songs, and Miss Bealby,\nsolos on the violin.

This increase\nhas been steadily maintained since 1898,\n\u25a0when the number was 99,071. The Increase in lunacy and pauperism may well\ngo hand ln hand, but an inland revenue\nblue book just issued, for the year ending March 31, gives some statistics,\nwhich, when taken In this connection,\nare strongly opposed to certain widely-\nheld theories. Together with the steady\nincrease ln lunacy and pauperism during\nthe past decade, there has been an equally steady decrease in consumption of\nintoxicants. The alcoholic liquor licenses Issued to brewers have fallen by\nabout 40 per cent in the last ten years,\nwhile the consumption of beer In the\nsame epriod has fallen from 32 gallons\nper head to 27 gallons per head, per annum, a decrease, allowing for the increase of population, of [220,000,000 gallons annually, The consumption of\nspirits show an even more striking decrease. In 1900 the consumption was\nnearly two gallons per head annually,\nwhile now it is only 90 per cent of one\ngallon. While the population in that period increased 4,000,000, tbe consumption\nof spirits fell 9,000,000 gallons. An illustration, of the enormous capital invested in whiskey is seen in that the\namount in bonded warehouses, on which\nthe duty has been paid up to March 31,\nwas 150,785,201 gallons.\nThe same blue book has interesting\nfigures on death duties, and the income\ntax. The gross amount which passed\nat death during the year was \u00a3 315,697,-\n098. The year's general results show\nthat wlille the increase was only -\u00a3120,-\n850 in net receipts of the total revenue\ncompared with the previous year, the\nnet receipts, duties for the decade increased \u00a328,250,000, or 28 per cent, of\nwhich Increase the income tax was responsible for more than \u00a31*1,500,000. In\nregard to the Income tax of \u00a330,800,380\ncollected for the year, only twenty persons had Incomes assessed at over \u00a350,-\n000; 241 between \u00a310,000and \u00a350,00; 517\nbetween \u00a35,000 and \u00a310,000;322 between\n\u00a34,000 and%5,000; 580 between \u00a33,000\nand \u00a34,000; 1,539 between \u00a32.000 and\n\u00a33,000; and 3,155 between \u00a31,000 and\n\u00a32,000.\nA special table devoted to employees,\nthat Is, men working on a salary, exclusive of government, corporation and public company officials, is very interesting.\nOnly four have incomes of over \u00a35,000;\n11 between \u00a34,000 and \u00a35,000; 14 between \u00a33,000 and \u00a34,000; and 55 between \u00a32,000 and \u00a33,000. The gross income for the year 1906-7, the last year\nfor which figures are available, was\n\u00a3943,702,014, and the income on which\nthe tax was received, \u00a3040,049,238.\nSEA P0WER;0F BRITAIN\nWINNIPEGGERS HEAR ADDRESS\nON SUBJECT\nFLEET IS BULWARK OF EMPIRE'S\nGREATNESS\n\"The Sea Power of Britain,\" was the\nsubject of an interesting address delivered by John Halford Mackinder of Lon-\niio.1, England to the membe s cf the Canadian club of Winnipeg last week. Mr.\nMackinder, who Is making a tour of the\nwest is a director of the London school of\neconomics and political science, senator\noe London university and medallist of\nthe Royal Scottish Geographical Society.\nIn opening Mr. Mackinder said that\nhis object in touching ou the subject was\nthe bringing together of all portions of\nthe empire In-closer relations with each\nother. During the past three months he\nhad been back to school again learning\nmany things from a practical point of\nview and from many standpoints,\nBACK TO SCHOOL.\nIn June last year he sat In his office\nin London, trying to solve the problems\nof 7,000,000 of people\u2014the struggling\npopulation of the old city of London. In\nJuly as a civilian guest, he was on ths\ngreat warship \"Russell,\" saw the manoeuvres of tbe Atlantic fleet and was in\nhourly companionship with the officers\nof the fleet. In August he was on another cruise, and this time over the prairies of the Canadian west, as a guest of\nthe Winnipeg grain dealers, and on this\nlatter cruise he had realized to some extent what this branch of the British Empire was undertaking. Ths speaker hoped his hearers would not take him for\none of those Englishmen who had Insular\nideas and regarded all other parts of the\nempire but his island as colonies or dependencies. He said: \"I have eeen your\nrepresentative men, and they have carried conviction to me ,and my idea is\nthat we have three equal nations In one\nempire,''\nComing to the subject he wished to\ndiscuss, he held that the very essence of\nsea power was summoned up In three\nphrases, the first of which waa \"We hold\nIndia Incontestably by sea power.\" In\nthe vast Indian ocean there is not a battleship, nor a second-class curiser even,\nunder the white ensign. The influence\nof Britain's fleet extends to her every\ncolony, no matter how far away. Russia's fleet 6,000 miles away from the\nscene of action in the war between Russia and Japan made itself felt at the\ntaking of Port Arthur.\nINFLUENCE OP FLEET.\nThe sea covers three-fourths of the\nearth's surface and all lands are merely\nIslands, hence the fleet Is essentially the\nfirst thing to be considered in the protection of tbe land. The blue school\nmerely recognized strategic facts and the\nessential strategic facts of the blue\nschool are those that rise in the minds\nof every pecp'e of the great empire,\nWILL NOT PROTECT.\nThe Monroe doctrine, Mr. Mackinder\nargued, would not be of much benefit to\nCanada; America\" made that for her own\nbenefit. Britain's power is behind every\ntransaction of her colonies and by it we\nget concessions and considerations that\notherwise could not be obtained. In diplomatic matters tlie balances of power\nNOTICE.\nIN THE MATTER OF AN-APPLICATION\nTor the Issue of a duplicate of the Certificate of Title to alt mln-Tals precious and\nbase (save coal) under I,ota M_ \"Cork\"\nMineral Claim, and -isst, \"Dublin\" Mineral\nClaim, both ln Group One, DIslrlet ot\nKootenay.\nNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that it la\nmy intention lo issue at the expiration 'of\none month after the first publication hereof duDllcatea of the Certi flea tea of Title to\nthe above mentioned minerals In the name\nof Jules Justin Fleutot. which Certificates\nof Title are dated the 23rd of April. 1901,\nand tiie 22nd of January, 1901, and numbered 223A. and 40S7K, respectively.\nH.

By this balance\nof power England has settled four great\nquestions in our own times.\nGermany Is working up a great fleet\nand navy her officers spend a lifetime\nin trying to save half an hour in the\nmobilization of her fleet at a moment's\nnotice, and she Is considered a factor in\nworld questions because she is the neighbor of other great world powers. The\nassumption of a world power brings with\nlt responsibilities that cannot be\nshrinked.\nNOT WAR WITH STATES.\nIt Is inconceivable, said the speaker,\nthat there will ever be war between\nBritain and the Un tel statcB, bu1. if Canada will consider strategic questions she\nmust look to her frontier protection.

This commission was\nselected and appointed by the government itself so that its findings cannot\nby any stretch of imagination be\nclassed as an attack by political opponents. As it was, the commission\ndid not have time nor opportunity to\ngive more than passing attention to\nmore than two of the many departments, those of marine and fisheries\nand militia and defence. If the conditions which the commission's report\nshowed to exist in. these, prevail in the\nothers, and there Is no reason to doubt\nthat\/they do, it makes it easy to account for much of the increase in the\npublic expenditure in the past twelve\nyears.\nConcerning the department of marine\n**iW_^_-4*i>__r_'.^^\nModem In Every Way\nFine residence for sale, partly furnished.

B.\nSept. 17th, IBM,\nand fisheries the report said \"There\nare enough officers in the department,\nboth inside and outside, to do the work\nefficiently, if they were properly trained and organized; but there is no efficient organization. The only attempt at\nit is the appointment of men whose\ntitles would seem to indicate what\ntheir duties are; but those duties have\nnever been specifically defined. There\nis no record of anything of the kind,\nand there were no printed rules and\nregulations known In the service,\nwhich your commissioners think is lamentable.\n\"It is practically impossible to fix\nresponsibility on anybody. The deputy\nia supposed to shoulder, responsibility\nfor everything as his signature shows;\nbut that means that he speaks for 'the\ndepartment' and 'the department,' like\nthe king, can do no wrong. There\nseems to be a huge redundancy of work\nwhich proceeds in a lumbering, haphazard way, giving rise to constant\nblundering and confusion. There is\nno sign visible of a single directing\nhead, or an intelligent purpose, unless\nthat of spending as -much money as\npossible. Zeal for economy and good\nmanagement, or pride In the work, Is\nnot visible. Perfunctory and mechanical discharge of duties is the rule, with\napparently no perception of-any need\nfor improvement * * * *\n\"There Is not only tack of efficient\norganization and method In the department There would also appear to be\nlack of conscience.\"\nThe commission goes on to give instances of where the country has heen\nallowed to be the prey of grafters and\nquotes an official of the department as\nsaying that with proper management\n$25,000 a year could be saved- in the\nQuebec agency of the department\nalone.\nThe minister who presides over this\ndepartment is Hon. L. P. Brodeur. At\nthe time of the presentation of the\ncommission's report there..was general\ntalk that the disclosures meant that\nhie retirement would follow. But not\nso. Instead Mr. Brodeur Is taken- up\nby Sir Wilfrid Laurier and pushed to\nthe front. He was one of the men\nwhom the premier took to Sorel with\nhim to open his campaign. Thus does\nSir Wilfrid reward Inefficiency, extravagance and worse.\nA WHITE BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nMr. Borden Is definitely and unequivocally pledged to certain things if returned to power. One of these Is to protect\nthe white labor of British Columbia\nagainst the inroads of the yellow hordes.\nFor his stand on this question he has\nbeen assailed hy the liberal papers of the\neast, both great and small.\nOne of the papers which has most recently given voice to an attack on the\nconservative leader on this ground la the\nReglna Leader, the liberal organ in Saskatchewan. It calls Mr, Borden a demagogue and severely lectures him for his\nstand on this question. However, it will\ntake more than the denunciations ot the\nRegina Leader or any number of Liberal\npapers to move Mr. Borden from the position has has taken ln the Interests ot\nthe white people ot British Columbia,\nMr. Borden's pledge on this question\nand the attitude of the liberal press toward him as a result of It, should relieve the people of this province ol\nany doubt as to how they should cast\ntbelr ballots In the approaching election. A vote for Mr. Goodeve, or any\nother conservative candidate, Is a vote\nfor a white British Columbia.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier Is on record as\nsaying \"The government is responsible\nfor everything which takes place in any\ndepartment.\"\nSays the Moyie Leader: \"The best of\nreports are coming from all over the riding in favor of A. S. Goodeve, the conservative candidate, Goodeve has all the\nattributes of a winner.\"\nApparently there are at least some\ndiscerning liberal members of parliament who see disaster ahead of their\nparty ln the approaching elections and\nare rushing tb cover in advance.

Mr. Butler Btates that his only interest in bringing the match about ts to show the class\nof hta pupil, Joe Malcolmson, whom he\nbelieves to be a world beater,\nMalcolmson has been training hard alt\nsummer'at the fair grounds, and under\nthe tutelage of Butler has been getting\nfaster and faster all the time.

LAMBERT & CO.\nWEBB YET THE ONLY ONE\nNO ONE HAS SINCE SWAM ENGLISH CHANNEL\nBURGESS' RECENT ATTEMPT ALMOST SUCCESSFUL\nOne of these fine mornings we shall\nwake up and find that a man has swum\nacross the English channel. Hfs name\nis likely to be Burgess, or Holbein, or\nWolffe, or Rees. These men are prob*\nably the greatest long distance swimmers living, and with a little luck any of\nthem Is likely to duplicate the feat with\nwhich captain Webb startled the world\n33 years ago last week. Webb later on\nlost his life in the whirlpool rapids\nNiagara Falls, and thus perished the\ngreatest swimmer of history. Ever since\nWebb swam from Dover to Calais in 21\nhours -15 minutes, other swimmers have\nbeen attempting to equal his performance. Several limes they have come almost within hailing distance of the\nFrench coast, but invariably they have\nbeen carried back by the tides.\nindeed, the real problem of the enter,\npillse is the ebb and flow of the water\nThe distance between land and land at\none point in only 21 miles, and there are\nprobably-hundreds of swimmers who can\ngo that far. It is impossible, however,\nfor any mail to swim the English chan*\nnel as the crow flies. He must be con\ntent to be swept for miles out of bis\ncourse, and to tack across, Burgess, who\nreached within a mile of the French\ncoast recently, swam 50 miles. He was\naccompanied by a party of friends and\nnewspaper men in boats, and they all\nagree that until the swimmer encountered the strong ebb tides along the French\ncoast it seemed certain that he would\nsucceed. Judging by a chart published\nIn the Morning Leader, Burgess must\nhave swum within a couple of miles of\nthe French coast for ten miles, attempting time after time to battle through\nthe tide that swept along, barring him\nout as effectively as though is were a\nbulwark.\nIndeed, tbe feature of the wonderful\nperformance was Burgess' magnificent\nefforts in racing to make certain points\nby a certain time of the tides. A chart\nwas displayed to him several times over\nthe side of the boat, and the swimmer,\nwho has studied channel tides and conditions for years, would calculate the\nchances of success. He had a long, hard\nrace from Folkestone to get round the\nVarno buoy. Tliis accomplished, he set\nout in a new direction to wether the\nridge of sand bank a few miles further\nacross the channel while the tide was\nslack. Hour after hour he swam through\nthe broken sea with long, sweeping\nstrokes, which scarcely ever varied from\ntwenty-six to the minute. He scarcely\npaused in his struggle except for a minute or so to take some hot ohocolate or\nbeef extract. For hours the lights along\nthe French coast twinkled iir the eyes of\nthe little party, and already cheers for\nthe great swimmer were sent up.\nBut the wind freshened, and about 4\no'clock in the morning the flood tide\nset in, evidently the offset from the\nBoulonge breakwater, and Burgess was\nswept along for miles swimming parallel to the cosat. It then became plain\nthat he could not succeed, and at 24 minutes past 5 o'clock In the morning he\ngave up and pulled himself over the side\nof the boat that accompanied him. He\nhad been in the water for 20 hours and\n11 minutes, and had covered 50 miles.\nHe returned to Dover, and when a London newspaper man sought an Interview\nwith him six hours-after he had finished\nhis wonderful feat he found Burgess\nagain in the water, good-naturedly\nteaching a young bather how to swim.\nHe should know. Burgess ts confident\nof eventual success, and calculates that\nif he had entered the water half ao tour\nlater he would have found the tide on\nthe French coast settling, and could have\nlanded ln France ln about 15 hours. He\nwill shortly make another attempt.\nT. W. Burgess ls a Yorkshlreman, and\nhas made ten attempts to swim across\nthe channel, with the following results:\nSeptember 7th, 1904\u2014Retired 6 miles\nfrom France.\nJuly 23rd, 1905-RetIred 4& miles\nfrom France.\nAugust 9th, 1905\u2014Retired after 14%\nhours.\nAugust 24th, 1905\u2014Retired after 8\nhours 5 minutes.\nAugust 26th, 1905\u2014Retired after 9\nhours.\nSeptember llth, 1905\u2014Retired after 3\nbourse 7 minutes.\nAugust 18th, 1906\u2014Retired after 8\nhours 49 minutes.\nAugust 28th, 1906\u2014Retired after 6\nhours.\nAugust 30th and 31st, 1906\u2014Retired\nafter covering 42 miles in 18 hours 1\nminute,\nHis last attempt was made over the\nroute traversed by captain Webb. He\nnow thinks that if three strong swimmers set out on the same course, at\nslightly different points, to allow for\ntricks of the tide, one of them, at least,\nwould be sure to reach the opposite coast\nIn about 16 hours.\nMontagu Holbein is another swimmer\nwho expects to make the crossing this\nsummer. Recently he swam 50 miles in\nthe Thames river, and finished strong.\nHe has also come within hailing distance\nof the French coast. So has Jabez\n\"Wolffe, while Jack Rees, the Welsh\nswimmer, is capable of swimming 40\nmiles or more on a good day. I\/mg distance swimming is one department of\nathletics which the old countrymen oc-\nsupy. without serious rivalry.\nTRIPLE DROWNING ACCIDENT.\nLaunch Capsizes While Running Some\nRapids.\nFORT FRANCES, Sept. 15.\u2014A trtpie\ndrowning accident occurred near here\nlu which captain Sissons, John Lockhart, Jr., and Patrick Atkinson lost\ntheir lives.
