WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 19041 NEWS ^ % ,JUN 2 5 1904 V . o-, ■^TORlAjS^ HO IT IS NOT ALL HARMONY Platform Makers of Republican National Convention Are Divided Some Favor the Old Iron-Clad Protection While Others Are for Reasonable Reciprocity Chicago, June 21.—The republican na- lional convention met this morning nnd nfter the committees had heen appointed adjourned to give them a chance to report. The committee on resolutions met in lhe green room of the Auditorium annex hotel, Immediately after the convention adjourned and organized by electing senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, as chairman; senator Clark, of Wyoming. as secretary, and R. G. Proctor, of Massachusetts, as clerk. The chairman wns then authorized to appoint a subcommittee of 13 lo prepare the platform. The committee then adjourned to meet nt -I o'clock. Upon reassembling, senn- tor IjOrtge announced Ihe committee to formulate the platform, the full committee then adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. When the SHb-commltt.ee met -senator Lodge for the first lime presented n draft of a platform saying that it 1 was intended largely as a basis for action for the committee. His draft, included a plank strongly commending the established republican policy on the tnriff aud presenting in terse language the necessity for maintaining the protective policy In the Interest of American labor nnd American Industries. Added to this was a declaration commending to the party a readjustment of their schedules. If found to lie desirable in the future. There was also n mild declaration on the subject of reciprocity and a pronouncement ngainst trusts, but wltb a reservation in the Interests of " established legitimate industries.." Mr. Lodge's draft did not contain any declaration on the success of the arbitration of the Canadian boundary question, lnil the other members of the committee suggested a plank covering that point. The remark being made that the fact that senator Lodge had been a member of the commission could not stand In the way of a proper presentation In view of ils importance. _ The tnriff plank is attracting more attention than any other feature of the platform and members of the sub-committee think that no agreement will be reached until a late hour. Already objections bave been raised to the wording of the plank and representative Dalzell and senator Hnnsborough are opposing the clause relating to reciprocity. Mr. Dalzell does not want any reference to lhe subject, while senator Hansborough Is contending for lhe suggestion contained In his resolution that an adjustment of the tariff Bhould be made with regard to the enlarged commercial relations with foreign countries. The reciprocity clause Is urged by those wbo claim lhat it. was In the last speech of president MeKinley and tbat tbe republicans should endorse thut portion of his policy. A SKETCH OP ROOSEVELT Chicago, June 21.—Theodore Roosevelt, wbo is certain to be renominated for president by the republicans tomorrow, was known as one of iho most unique and picturesque figures in American public life when he was elected to the vice presidency in 1900 and succeeded to the presidency a year later through Ihe death of William MeKinley. His diversified and vigorous activities had not only brought his recognition and advancement In political lifo, but had won him renown on the field of battle, In Ihe Bad Lands of the west, ns ranchman, hunter, and cowboy, nnd also In the more peaceful pursuit of honors In the literary world. In contravention to the well established tradition concerning national heroes, tho president was born In a great city. His birthplace was in East 20th street, New York city, and the date Oct. 27, 1858, which mnde him the youngest president when he succeeded to that high office three years ago. His father, Theodore Roosevelt, belonged to nn old nnd wealthy Knickerbocker family, and his mother was a descendant of Archibald Bullock, flrst president of Georgia during the revolution. As a young man, young Rosevelt was exceedingly frail from a physical viewpoint. He was sent to private schools during his early school years and pre- paratlon for Harvard university to avoid the rough treatment of boys In the public schools. He was a devotee of all ulihletic sports at Harvard and when he graduated from that, institution tn 1880 his health was very much Improved. After extended travel In Europe, he returned to this country, studied law for n few months, and then plunged at once Into the 21st assembly district of New York. At Albany he was promptly dubbed "silk stocking" and a "freak" of popular election. Mr. Rosevelt, then but 2!1 years old, soon succeeded in making himself n storm center. Ills best known work In the legislature at this time was In connection with the passage of acts abolishing the fee system in county offices nnd In depriving the board of alder men of their veto power of the mayor's appointments. This was a relic of the Tweed regime'. In 1884 Mr. Roosevelt went to Chicago aa a delegate to the republican national convention. He opposed the nomination of Blaine, but when Mr. Blaine became the republican choice, Mr. Rosevelt fell Into line and worked for the party candidate's success. After retiring from tbe legislature, Mr. Roosevelt spent some time at his ranch In North Dakota. In 1886 be was again in the turmoil of New York politics. Henry George waa a candidate for mayor. Abram S. Hewitt was the nominee of the democrats. Mr. Roosevelt was put in the field by the republicans. Mr. Hewitt won. Roosevelt next attracted attention as a hunter of big game. He delighted In hunting the grizzly bear and other fierce animals of the west. ***- President Harrison In 1889 appointed Mr. Roosevelt United States civil service commissioner. President Cleveland retained him in office, although Mr. Roosevelt resigned In 1895 to become president of the New York police commissioners. His service as a police commissioner was of a most strenuous type and he was credited with effectually slopping the police blackmail of saloon keepers. President MeKinley appointed Mr. Roosevelt assistant secretary of tho navy, which office he resigned at the outbreak of the hostilities with Spain. Returning to the Bad Lands Mr. Roosevelt organized his famous regiment of Rough Riders for service In Cuba. The history of Roosevelt and his Rough Riders during, the Santiago campaign is well remembered. Returning to the United States after -the campaign was over, colonel Roosevelt found himself already talked of for the republican gub- ernatoriay nomination of New York. He was nominated and elected governor over Augustus Van Wyck, the democratic candidate, by 17,786 votes. From the governor's chair to the vice presidency was but a step, although an unwilling one, for Mr. Roosevelt. He wns nominated at Philadelphia, June 21, 1S00, for the second highest office in the gift of the people. Mr. Roosevelt, It is said, was unwilling to have him name presented to the convention, declaring that he did not desire the nomination. There was a grrat popular demand for his nomination, however, and he finally yielded. He had served but little more than six months as vice-president when the assassination of president McKinely resulted in his elevation to the executive chair. The wife of president Roosevelt was Miss Edith Kermlt Carew. The president has six children. The eldest Miss Alice, is now 20 years old. The others are Theodore Rosevelt, Jr., now 16; Ker- mit, aged 14; Ethel, 12 years old; Archibald, nine, and Quentln, six. The president has been twice married, Miss Alice being the child of his first wife, who wbb Miss Alice Ue of Boston.

STEVESTON IS EXCITED EXPECTS TO SUPPLY THE LARGE CITIES WITH NATURAL GAS IT HAS BEEN FOUND BY DRILLING AND IS OF HIGH GRADE [Specinl lo The Dally News.] New Westminster, June 21—With the striking ot gas at Steveston In ti 102 foot hole, comes a. close down of operatlons until J. B. Cole of Pittsburg arrives. Mr, Cole Is an expert ou coal, ull und gas wells and was on bis way west wben tbe strike was made. A rough test of the gus has been made and found to be u compound of hydro carbons nnd other substances. The fact of tbls wus shown by u second drill getting wuter not far from tha gas strike, while coal bus been located In three and six Inch ledges lu various places during tbe work. Tbere is plenty of C. H, 4 methane, or marsh gas, all over the Island but the gus lately struck has an Illuminating power of about 24 sperm candles and bas a continual flow. A wet gas meter was Installed and will be kept in place till operations arc again commenced. Tbe prospect of supplying the cities of New Westminster and Vuncouver with gas bas become u mania with the people of Steveston, for the little gus town lies about 15 miles from these cities. Gas hus become a necessity tn large Cities where It Is not only used for lighting purposes but for heating purposes as well, und in this euse wbere natural gas will produce the proper temperature long before the artificial gas, there is no doubt but whnt the natural gus will be given the preference. It bus been demonstrated tbat one cubic foot of Steveston gns can raise one gallon of water to a boiling point in 25 minutes, while It took 40 minutes for 12 cubic feot of New Westminster artificial gns to raise one gallon to tbe required tailing point. These facts speak in favor of the new llnd and large developments are expected ln a few days.

St. Petersburg, June 21.—Emperor Nicholas has received the following despatch from vice admiral Skrydloff, dated June 21: "On June 2 our squadron, consisting of the cruiser Rossia, flying the flag of vice admiral Bezebazoff, and the cruiser Cromotboi and Rurik, left to assume the offensive against the maritime communications of the Japanese army. The squadron returned to port of June 20. The commodore reports that on the morning of June 15 the squadron advanced from the north towards the strait of Shlmonoseki. When wthin 20 miles of the straits, our ships perceived on the horizon two steamers, which they chased, but could not overtake, owing to the great distance. At the same time a third vessel was seen by the cruisers which they were ordered to capture. The ship proved to the transport iztimi, In spite of repeated orders to stop she refused to do so until she had been struck by several shells. She then stopped and men began to jump overboard. The cruiser then went after those on board who were willing to quit the ship which was breaking in two. Those on board, together with those who had jumped overboardl and were picked up by our boats were received on board lhe cruiser. The transport was then sunk by our guns. Among those taken on board the cruiser were 15 officers. •'After the sinking of the transport two more steamers were sighted by the Cromotboi and they were chased. They proved to be the transports, Sado and Hitachi. In the former In addition lo military stores were men of the telegraph corps and twelve officers, and also pontoons. On the Hitachi were 1000 troops besides "military stores. The Rossia was ordered to capture the Sado and the Gromotbo! the Hitachi, which tried to escape. After several shots had been fired warning the Hitachi to stop without effect, four guns opened flre and she stopped. Those on board, however, paid no attention to the signal and after two more shots had been fired they began to lower the boats. The transport settled down very slowly and consequently the Gromotboi was ordered to expedite the sinking of her which was soon accomplished. The Sado stopped after several shells had been fired across her bows and ln accordance with our signals her boats, which were numerous, were lowered. Some of the boats were precipitately lowered and several were capsized. The other boats crowded with men headed towards Tsu and Oki Islands, which were visible in the distance. The weather was calm and the sea perfectly smooth. The Rurik was ordered to pick up the officers, soldiers and crew but it was only possible to capture four foreigners engaged on the transport, and 25 officers. The troops did not leave the transport and the Rurik was ordered to torpedo and sink her. The transport not sinking at the first shot another was fired which sank her. Our squadron then considered the matter ended and in view also of the growing darkness proceeded on Its course. A Japanese cruiser was watching all the time. "On the following day In the Tsuraru straits our squadron stopped a British steamer, the Allenton. Her captain declared to the officers sent to examine her, that he was proceeding from Mur- oran to Singapore with 0.500 tons of coal. Au examination of the crew and inspection of the ship's papers and certain irregularities in tlie log, coupled with the fact that the steamer had previously conveyed contraband to tbe Japanese, led to doubt of the neutrality of her cargo and she was sent to Vladivostock under guard. Her case will be examined by a prize court. No other ships were seen during the cruise. On board the Allenton was found an educated Japanese. He was apparently one of tbe crew." FULLER'S EXPERIENCE. What a Correspondent Saw Wbo Stole Into Port Arthur. Indianapolis, Intl., June 21.—The News has received from its special war correspondent, who 'fiectid an entrance into '1 Arthur, where be war imprisoned five days, before he was ordered from the fortress, a special cablegram, dated Che Foo, June 21, in which Mr. Fuller gave his experiences as follows: "After being rowed across from the Miautao islands in an open boat by two Chinamen, I landed at Louisa bay. Tha hay is near Port Arthur and is separated from it by a range of hills. The bay was occupied by a Russian fleet of four torpedo boats, two destroyers and two cruisers. I landed at daybreak on the morning of June 10, without detention. Wllh the full coming of the day, I could see tbat every hilltop near the shore was alive with soldiers, busily engaged in strengthening the already formidable fortifications, which occupied every point of. vantage. '' looked at first as though it would bo impossible to pass through tl'*' lines and mnko my wuy over ihe hills toward Port Arthur, but keeping down in the'narrow valleys, which were free of soldiers, I gradually made my w y Into the interior of the peninsula, ln this way, after a day and a nlghl of effort, I succeeded In reaching Port Arthur. The hazard of my position became so obvious that the same day, Saturday, June 11, I set out on my return to Louisa bay. I presently came in sight of a large body of Russian infan try, when I took refuge in a Chinese village, where I found a hiding place until danger was over. "I had not proceeded far from the village when I came upon a small party of sappers. In order to avoid them, I made a dash up the hill only to run Into another regiment engaged ln digging entrenchments. Instantly I was surrounded. There was no possibility of escaping. Two officers in command detailed a guard to take ra» to Pigeon bay. There I was searched. I was stripped to the skin and all my garments were subjected to tbe closest scrutiny. My money wns taken and all the papers in my possession were taken. Thereupon I was blindfolded and marched to Port Arthur. The route taken was over a military road which was recently constructed. In spite of the bandage over my eyes I was able to note that the road is of admirable construction, along which troops and artillery could move easily and rapidly. "Port Arthur was full of life and gaiety, quite out of keeping with the stories of distress that had reached Che Foo; indeed, nothing of this sort was observed. There seemed, to be an abundance of supplies and fresh supplies were coming In from Chinese sources. The Japanese blockade has not been effective. The harbor entrance has been freed from obstructions, tbe battleships have been repaired and the fortifications are constantly being made stronger. "The garrison Is larger than outside information has led me to believe. The troops are in excellent condition and the general health conditions of the city are good. There seemed to be no fear that the city was likely soon to fall. The force marched Into Port Arthur with the soldiers as lively as the officers, Three soldiers were detailed to examine me nnd they made thorough work of it. After the examination was completed I was lodged in prison. The prison is directly opposite Golden Hill, and from the window of my cell I had a good view of the inner'bay and could see distinctly the repaired battleships lying at anchor. In the prison were confined 100 Japanese, who had been captured from tbe blockading expedition. Several of these had become Insane. I, myself, was kept on IluPRtan black bread, and water for two days. Then I was permitted hy the auth ifltleB to purchase such food as I desired. "While I was In the prison -I was subjected to eeven different examinations. The thing that evidently aroused the greatest suspicion was the passport tbat had been issued to me at Toklo.* It la purely evident tbat the Russians were more than half suspicious that I was a Japanese spy. I demanded the opportunity of peelrg general Stoessel, the commander al Port Arthur, that I might lay my jase directly before him. At last, after five days in prison, my plea was allowed and I was taken before the commander In chief. I made a straight forward statement of my purpose in seeking to penetrate the Russian llneB and gave a detailed account of my trip. At last he was convinced of my good faith. He said: 'You correspondents must be crazy.* "As the result of this hearing of my case general Stoessel decided that I was to be allowed to leave Port Arthur on condition that I promise never to return. The promise was promptly forthcoming. Thereupon I was again blind***- folded and taken back under guard by the direct route to Louisa bay. Arriving there I was requested to point to the exact spot at which I made my landing. Immediately guard was placed at this point. I was sent away on a junk along with a lot of Chinese. These were tlie men of an entire village being deported because the village had harbored some Japanese. The junk was escorted outside the harbor by Russian torpedo boats and then was left to make Its way along ns best, it could across the gulf. I was without food for 00 hours, hut finally reached here little the worse for my ten dny's experience. "On the whole, I may say, that while I was In the hands of the Russians I was kindly treated. On the night of June 1.1. the Japanese made another attack on Port Arthur, both by land and sea. I saw distinctly the firing from my cell window. When the affair was over the Russian officers returned laughing to their quarters, reporting that the enemy bad been enslly repulsed. The talk Is that, general Kouropatkln is likely soon to tnko charge in person at Port Arthur." A CORRESPONDENT KILLED. Mistaken For a Spy and Shot by a Russian Soldier. Now York. June 21.—A cable message to tbe World, which wns unsigned, but whleh the World says probably was forwarded by tbe American legation nl Pekln, announces lhe shooting of colonel Edwin Emerson, Jr.. one of the World's correspondents in tbe far enst, and con- veved the Impression thnt he bnd been killed. The cable stated that It wns rfnortetl lhat colonel Emerson had been shot bv a retreating Russian, who mistook him for a sny. A specinl cable to the World, from TMiln says: "There are indications thai l lie Russians have been routed. There Is a panic In Mukden. Emerson, the war correspondent, Is reported to have been shot. The retreating Russians believed him to be a spy." A letter from Emerson was resolved by the World shortly before the receipt of this cable, dated May 14, containing these expressions: "Mukden Is muzzled, and no news can go out from there. I find 1 can get into the Russian lines." Emerson left the Japanese army some time ago and pushed on to Mukden. ENGAGEMENT IN PROGRESS. LEDGER IS IN TROUBLE Company Force of Japanese Cavalry Attacked the Russian Outposts.

June 'Jl Telegraphic advices received here sllow that there is danger of war between tho republics of Salvador und (iuatetniila and that troops of the two countries are marching to the borders. There ure also reports Of a coming revolution In Honduras, New York, June 21.—Evidence of a startling nature, which doubtless will have an Important bearing on the ultimate result of the coroner's Inquiry Into the General Slocum disaster was forthcoming at the inquest today. Perhaps the most unexpected Incident was tbe continual refusal to answer questions, of Henry Lundberg, a United States Inspector who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of tbe 111 fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to Incriminate him and he acted on the advice of his counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to the houso of detention, but later accepted $500 ball for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow, which was satisfactory to the district attorney. Second pilot Weaver, of the Slocum, testified that he had purchased the fire hose for that boat, and Mr. Garvan Introduced evidence to show that the prico was 40 cents a foot, less 60 per cent or 17 cents per foot, net. "Don't you know that you can't buy .good flre hose for less than a dollar or a dollar and a half a foot?" he waa asked. "I don't know anything about the price of hose," responded Weaver. Weaver also declared that there bad been no flre drill on the Slocum this year. Daniel O'Neill, who, according to his sworn statement, had never worked on a boat till he was hired on the Slocum, a short time ago, admitted that he he- came frightened nfter the flre had gained great headway and had jumped into a rowboat filled with people from thn Slocum, capsizing It. Asked if he saved anyone, he said there were others there doing that. He was not an expert swimmer. He swam ashore himself, however. O'Neill delared ho never Baw a flre drill on the boat. "If there had been one I would have been In it," he ndded. Referring to the efforts made to throw water on Ihe flre when it was discovered, O'Neill (old of the bursting of the hose. When this happened, he said, bo ran and got the rubber washing bor.e, but the coupling would not flt tbe stand pipe. Miss C. Ii. Hall, bookkeeper for lhe Knickerbocker Steamboat Co., told of erasures she had made with acid on certain hills for life preservers and lhe substitution of tbe name General Slocum for Orand Republic. After various explanations bat) been made by Miss Hull us to the reason for this, she was asked to say when tho erasures were made. The witness was uncertain as to the date, but denied that they were made within a month. She used acid, she said, because that had been her custom, and she had substituted tbe name General Slocum for convenience. Coroner Berry announced that captain VanSchaick, who commanded tbe Slocum, was in such a condition at the Lebanon hospital that ho may not be able to testify for several days. He tried to pot to court today, but collapsed completely and the doctors ordered him back to bed. The coroner stated that, the inquest would be completed without the captain's testimony. Today by the use of dynamite and guns, fired by tbe men from the second battery, scores or bodies were brought up from tho bottom around the shores of North Brothers Island, From sunrise lo sunset tho searchers along the beach and In the boats, gatheresd in 112. bringing tlie number of bodies recovered up to date to the appalling total of 845. Of these 700 have been Identified and the missing are approximately reckoned nt something more than 300.

Inspection brought to tbe attention of Iho body by secrelary Cortelyou. The matter under dlaucsslon was incidental to the General Slocum disaster and to the rigid enquiry into it which has been ordered by secretary Cortelyou. In view of tho Charges that have been mnde of lark of discipline on the Slocum. Insufficient life-saving equipment and unsafe fittings in lockers and store rooms, it was decided that the best expert talent obtainable should be called Into service and at the suggestion or secretary Cortelyou It was arranged that an army and naval officer should be attached to tbe board of experts.

SHOULD BE PROPERLY PACKED A carload of British Columbia strawberries, recently auctioned off in Winnipeg, attracted considerable attention, and the outlook is that considerable fruit from this province will be marketed there this season. The B. C. berries were pronounced as fine in color, as large, and superior in flavor, to the famous Hood river product. The packing was poor. The berries were not placed tightly in the boxes, which made it possible for them lo be moved by the vibration of the car. Tbe boxes were of tho shallow, Bquare kind and the berries were not faced and properly sorted as to size. It was stated that it would be better to have the square, deep boxes, in which the fruit could lie packed to better advantage to stand the long journey. Local fruit growers should take the hint Fruit put up properly and In attractive packages always brings a bolter price, and is quicker sold than if packed in a slovenly manner and put up in poor and rough packages. I^ocal fruit raisers would be wise if they would tako the hint and put up their fruit in the nicest possible manner. By doing this the fruit would soil belter both in tbe local and outside markets. REDUCED WAR TO A SCIENCE Tbe Japanese are reducing war to a science, and are omitting no details which will aid in bringing them success. Ai the battle of Vafangow tbey had their batteries located on the different portions of Ihe Hold connected by telephones. This was doubtless of great helj) to the commanding officer, who could give directions to those in command of the batteries, and must bave been of considerable advantage in a battle where artillery played so important a part. This nice attention to details and being prepared for every emergency Is wbat wins battles. The Russians seem to scorn such preparation to insure victory and as a result they are being beaten at every turn they take. There is too much 1 lusting to luck, to inspiration, and to chance on the part of the Russians. Unless thoy change their methods Ihey are certain to continue to be ottt-generaled and whipped by the wily, forehanded Japanese, DE .MOTS TERCENTENARY Being Observed In tho Maritime Pro* vlnoos ana Elsewhere John, N. is..

TELL STORY OF CRUISE VLADIVOSTOCK WARSHIPS HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR HARBOR TRANSPORT HITACHI TRIED To GET AWAY AND WAS STOPPED Vlndlvostock, June 21—Lying In the harbor ure the Russian cruisers, wlilch have just retimed from their successful raid In the Japanese sea and straits of Korea. Vice admiral Uezobrazoff took tbe squadron out on June 12. The Ilrst day the warships were fogbound. They reached the Korean straits on June 16th and were sighted and watched by a fast uiiree masted Japanese cruiser. Ott the Tsu islands the Russians pursued a vessel -resembling a yacht which escaped in shore. They sunk the Japaues transport hlzimii. off Kotsu island. The hiknml wus bringing back invalided soldiers from Port Dalny, 105 of whom were rescued by the Russian cruisers. The Japanese transports Hitachi and Sado were next sighted and soon after tbe Hitachi, which was tilled with troops, disregarded the signal io stop nnd put on full speed. The Russian cruisers thereupon opened tire on the Hitachi, stopping the engines and setting iier decks aflame, Still the Japanese refused to haul down their flag. The vessel was then seen to keel over and hundreds jumped Into the sea. They were all drowned. Tho Hatcbl was sunk by a torpedo. The Sado obeyed the summons to stop. She carried 1860 coolies for railroad work, and 1200 tons of coal, and 1000 tons of rice, railroad and telegraph apparatus, a hundred horses and a huge amount of Specie, whicli wns thrown overboard hy the purser. Resides len boats tin- Sado carried twelve rafts, each capable of carrying 1UU men. . As soon as the crew was ordered to leavo the Ship the conlies rushed on deck, (Hied the boats and headed for tho coast. Admiral Resobruzoft sent boats to the Sado to take off the captain and the ofllcers. Captain Ogure, twelve military officers and three Englishmen in the Japanese ■service \eame. The others, refused to leave the ship. The Russians having tried lo save tbe lives of those on board discharged two tnrpedos ugalust the vessel. A heavy squall broke at the same time and hid the transport from view. A three masted cruiser witnessed the whole alTuir. The Russians caught her wireless messages. The appnratus on tbe enemy's cruiser -worked Incessantly and messages were recorded on bonrd the Russian cruisers und were translated by some of the Japanese prisoners. One message reads as follows: '•The Russians are in tlie straits, run for safety." Tho prize court Is sure to condemn tlhe British collier Allanton, captured by the Russian squadron during the raid. She came at the beginning of the war and went around the Cape of Good Hope. BUNYAN GROUP. Ore Ready For Shipment—Will Build a Wagon Road. Work at the Bunyan group is going along nicely. At tbe end of the flrst three weeks' work 300 sacks of ore had been filled, which makes about 15 tons, says the Wllmer Outcrop.' On Monday a few men started the work of building a road from the property to Windermere lake, a distance of ahout four miles. With very little work a good road can lie made with an easy grade. So soon as this is accomplished the ore will be hauled down and shipped to the smelter. In tho meantime four men are engaged breaking down ore and sacking it. As It is dry ore a very low price for treatment has been quoted and as the ore being mined now shows that as depth is gained the values are higher, it is thought thnt eventually it will be a splendid paying proposition. The ore that is being shipped now, and it is estimated tbat It will yield good returns, is practically taken from the surface, the tunnel being not more than 50 or 75 feet down from the surface. Messrs. Chamberlain and Harrison, who are working on a lease, have shown a good deal of enterprise in their work and it is to he sincerely hoped they will be richly rewarded. THOUGHT THEY SAW DOUBLE A remarkable story can be verified by a well known occulist in Kansas City. In one of the counties of western Kansas is a cattleman who has grown weal- Ihy. His wife, a charming woman of some 40 years, recently began to have severe headaches. A local physician de- elded tbat the trouble was with her eyes. The family could not believe it, as she bad very keen sight from both far and Tiear. However, the husband took her to an occulist in Kansas City for expert, examination. In the course of the examination ths professional man held up a cam!!'-' and asked her what she saw. "I see two lights," she answered calmly. "Two!" exclaimed the surprised husband. '"Have you always seen two nf me when you looked at me?" "Why, certainly, my dear," was the answer, "don't you always see two of me?" And I ben came the revelation that this educated, intelligent woman had never known ln all her 40 yenrs of life tbat fveiyhotly thdi.'l r.ee double. She li'id nccepted her own condition ns a matter of course. It Instantly nccounted to Ihe husband for little indefinite movements ■whlrh he had frequently observed in his wife when she was reaching for an object, nnd it was a matter of great aston- E.

It Is nevertheless believed by those In tbo host position to know that the combination is being worked out in the east, and the under, writing syndicate whlchwill turn in the four hist groups of rnlmis for a large amount of the stock, aro meeting with success lu the undertaking in "New York eity.

It Is well known in tlie Boundary and elsewhere lhat the deal hinges on the securing of the Brooklyn group of claims in this camp, now owned by the Dominion Copper Co., Limited, hugely owned by Mackenzie and Mann, senator Cox und others, who are not mining men, but are more interested in railway building.

It Is confidently ussorted that should tliis consolidation for any reason not bo carried through, tlie Brooklyn group will be operated thin summer liy lhe company now owning It, as the freight and smelter rates are now so much more favorable than tbey wero four years ago. it will thus be seen that quite shortly another huge contributor to the tonnnge will soun he added to live list, giving employment to a considerable number of mon. li, C.

From a good .nrtpoints the witness came back over again to the conclusion killing of the miners at their places was really indicative of ;l not a dust explosion. Killing ?n at widely different points hy n or concussion as lhe result explosion was admitted to be a f the new school of thought science men. At one time there i on dust In Investigating mine s but this was changed now. witness was led carefully all ground covered by htm In his inn In chief, and while prob- e of the answers given, gave ler and fuller Information, the olntedly declined to alter his osition or lo hedge in any way - .iy Mr. Tnylor dropped him at 3.20. After a brief re-examination Mr. Martin Informed lhe courl thnt the caie for the defendants was all in, nnd after a short conference witli his colleagues, Mr. Taylor said he would offer no evidence in rebuttal. At 3.40 E. P. Davis, K.C, commenced his address to the court on behalf of the defendants. Me said that the case had finally taken such a shape that he and Ills learned friends had decided a short argument would be all that was required. The questions of fact were narrowed down, and it would be quite impossible to review all the evidence at length and compare it. The court, he was convinced, had decided on the evidence as it had been given, and he would content, himself with pointing out the chief points. There were undoubtedly many hard things to explain about what caused explosions, nnd what happened at the time, and Immediately after. People were not prepared for explosions, they were unlocked for and there necessarily arose a good deal o( confusion. This waa especially the case in coal mine explosions. The onus was clearly placed upon the plaintiffs to prove the particular piece of negligence which occurred to cause the explosion. All the defendants had to do was to show that it may not have caused the explosion. As to the Kfmt of negligence required to he shown*, counsol quoted the definition laid down by the late chief justice Strong in Wood vs. 0, P.R.. before the supreme court of Canada. "In order that a duty should be Imposed upon a person, the neglect of which constitutes an actionable wrong, it. must be apparent that the want of care or attention Is reasonably likely to endanger the safety of others. It Is not sufficient that the omission did In fact, cause an accident, if it wns not to some extent obvious that snch a consequence wns likely to result from it." The particular act of omission charged here was non-watering of the old workings. The failure to water having; caused the explosion whicli killed the men. Tlie plaintiffs must prove, (1) That it was a dust explosion. (2) That the Initial explosion was not sufficient to have killed all the men. It was a matter of indifference if the dust simply increased the violence of the original explosion! (3) The duty imposed on the company to water the old workings. With the court's approval the defective lamp question was passed over. Was it a dust explosion? All agree that the initial point was in McDonald's level except Blakemore, and he was in doubt and gave the preference to No. 1 machine level. There was no previous firing in Mo- Donald's level. No blown-out shot. The conditions proved there, are all inconsistent with the possibilities of a dustj explosion. It must be admitted that the Intttafl explosion was a gas explosion, and this is most important. All the evidence presupposes a gas explosion and not a dust one at the initial point. What was the evidence on tlie accepted tests of a dust explosion? He alluded to the stories told by Drinnan and inspector Dick. All the matertal evidence given hy Drinnan hnd been rully corroborated by Graham and Colvllle. The evidence of Burrows Is the only evidence in conflict. So far as BnrrowsJ wns concerned a fair sample of all his evidence could he taken from his story of the overenst In the main entry and his sworn testimony a* to the position the rails were left in. J If any comparison was to be made at all. It. could with profit, he made here, nnd he did not think further comment necessary. As to Inspector Dick, lite long and honorable tenure of office was a sufficient answer to Ihe suggestion made tlmt he was In the pay of the company. His evidence was based on Hie repoa-ts In writing on file in the department, written at the time they were made over two years ago. Either these reports were correct, or Dick was not. only gonty of perfury but also of conspiring and he had a happy .faculty In foreseeing this accident and preparing for It well in ndvance of its actual occurrence. The inspector had at flrst recorded many \ Good Shoes i Fit b Wear are the two most essential qualifications of any shoe nnd our shoes hnve them both. We shoe the people. Why? Because our prices are right. HughMcCausland BAKER STREET. complaints, but as these were attended to, his later reports recorded the facts and the fuel ul?o that the character of the mine changed from a dry and dusty, to a damp and wtt one. Beyond al: reasonable doubt the explosion was a ga* one. Some dust may possibly have been mixed up In it, but substantially '.t was a gas explosion aud distinctly not a dust one.' He was willing to take the eight negative tests of a gas explosion as laid down before the royal commission on mine explosions. 1. The distances traversed are enormous. Unless there were a constant escape of gas all along the roads traversed hy the explosion the first escape or blower would be llearly insufficient to account for the whole of the explosion. 2. There is a general absence of Indications of alarm oa the part of ihe workmen. 3. The force of the explosion is always towards the goaves—never from them. 4. No trace of any outburst of gas is to be discovered after the explosion. 5. When a gas explosion takes place it must in its limits be dependent, upon the amount of gas and its explosive force, •■Whereas generally the explosions have extended to the downcast shaft. 0. In many cases the explosion traverses a certain road; but where the road divides, the explosion follows only one branch and leaves the other untouched. 7. No great violence is exhibited for about 00 to 90 yards on each side of the shot supposed to have caused the explosion. 8. Naked lights in use. No. 1 would not apply hero where the whole course traversed is only some 2000 feet, and Beard said plainly that there was enough initial energy to fill the inlne and lie adds that the circumstances were there-to renew and extend the force if necessary. As to No. 2, it might be of use where' the qi ustion of gas or dust was In doubt, but h3re it Is admittedly an initial gas expiation for the reasons already given, and tine rest, does not apply. Miners are proverbially careless. Results of gas explosion} are sudden. All over in a flash, where-is a dust explosion is comparatively slow. The fact that the men were killed nt their places just reverses the plaintiffs' deductions and is a strong argument In favor of a gas explosion. As to No. 3. Does not. apply. Here thero was an Initial gas explosion, and further supplies of gas were accounted for in the drawslates which no doubt extended the original explosion. No. 4 does not apply here. No. 5 Is just what, did not take place here, according to the evidence. As to No. G. Whnt admittedly happened here was that the explosion followed the return air way and did not follow the main air intake way. A dust explosion will not follow a path saturated wilh wator, here the main entry was not saturated, but the explosion crossed and did not go up it, a rmost conclusive prof that it was not a dust explosion. It went, up the air re- ■turn wny, the natural course for a gas explosion to go. The 7th and 8th tests do not. apply here. Touching on Wlllinm Ferule's evidence, counsel said he did so merely to show that Mr. Blakemore, under all the eircumstnncos, must be held as a strong ■partiyan witness, and not as an independent one. He, the speaker, had heard no evidence from this expert showing that he belonged to n higher order of men. Blakemore's recurring explosion theory was dealt with and discredited. ■Coking, flame at. the mouth of the tunnel, or wnnt of It, the unquestionable Instant killing of all the men, and some •other points were gone Into nt length and counsel added that he relied on some of Mr. Blakemore's testimony ami ■on some of the admissions made by Mr. Taylor. The utter unreasonableness of "watering 1 lie old workings was practically conceded. It would he an outrage to insist thnt. what was never done else- ■where should be done here, It was clear thnt scientists had much flMaBBBMpB—gaMBWSBWWWWapMBMM II I .i| Reliance Gold Mining & Milling Co., Ltd.
