Speaking of the proposed isthmian ship canal, Mr. Hill declared he would not lay & straw in the way of its construction at an expense of some $500,000,000, but in his opinion $36,000,000 to $40,000,000 spent in deepening the channel of the Mississippl be- tweén New Orleans and St. Louls would give far better results in the end. As to mon spent on the improvement of the upper ‘waters of that same river, he thought it ‘would be much bettér invested In irrigating the arid reglons of the great west. The raflroads were not in the habit of taking into consideration river rates north of St. Louls in fixing their rallroad rates, for the Teason that the river bubin in that sec- tion was comp-rlunly small and of Itttle value. He suggested that for irrigation it would ‘be the best plan for the government to irri- sate and develop 1,000 acres of land at a probable expense of $5 or $10 an acre, then well it for from $15 to $20 an acre, thereby creating a fund from which to carry on fur- ther irrigation schemes without any expense beyond that first involved.

Within that time after the White squadron was sighted Admiral Higgingon, if he held his heavy ships midway between the two ex- tremities of the line to be defended, at Rockport, for Instance, could reach his enemy by steaming ten or eleven knots an hout. From Cape Ann, ‘just outside of Rockport, to Cape Cod is only forty-two and a half miles and from Cape Ann to Elizabeth light, outside of Portland. is only fitty-eight miles Another feature of the situation which will militate against the chances of the White squadron is the instruction which requires Commander Pilisbury to enter “an undefended harbor,” one “with deep water approaches,” with “six fathoms” of water, one capable of defense by “‘guns and mines” and one in which heavy ships could anchor. These restrictions will con- fine him to less than a dozen harbors, among them Portemouth, Rockport, Salem and Provincetown.

In “fhe circum- stances the naval experts generally agree that an’attempt to strike the coast dur- ing the daytime would be foolhardy for the attacking fleet, but at night with thick weather it might be possible for Com- mander Pillsbury, with his ships dark- ened, to creep in past the scouts and quietly anchor without being reported un- til too late for Admiral Higginson to reach him with a superior force.

Panther can make thirteen, but Supply only nine and a half, 86 .that if the fleet is kept together as his Instructions direct the speed of his squadron cannot be more than Its slowest unit, namely nino and a half knots. If sighted outside, therefore, by one of the swift torpedo boats, which can make from twenty to twenty-five knots an hour, the scout could scoot away to the nearest land port and report the enemy to Admiral Higginson, who could be on his way to intercept him before the latter could reach his destina- tion. PRACTICE AT FORT RILEY Nebraska to Send Two Regiments to Tale Part in Work at the Fort. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—An order was tesued at the War department today direct- ing the mobilization of a mixad division of regulars and militia, on the large reser- vatlon at Fort Riley, Kan. The regular troops to participate in the encampment and attending maneuvers at that point com- the following organizations: First battalion of. Engineers and head- quarters band; First and Second squadrons, Fourth cavalry; Third squadron, Eighth cavalry; Sixth, Seventh, Nineteenth, Twen- tieth and Twenty-eighth batteries Field artillery; headquarters band and twelve companies, Sixth United States infantry; headquarters band and twelve companfes Twenty-second United States infantry; headquarters band and Eighteenth United Siales iufaniry, excepiiog Company L; de- tachment of the Signal corps; detachment of the Hospital corps. The governors of all the states were in- vited to send a contingent of the various state forces to participate in these maneuv- ers, but for want of appropriations and various other causes, very few of the states found themselves- able at (his late date to participate. Arkansas will send one battalion of fa- fantry, Kansas two' regiments of infantry and two batteries of feld artillery, and Nebraska two regiments of infantry. A numbers of governors of states have sig- nified their intention to send officers to witness the maneuvers and have expressed the hope that they may be able, in future ¥ to furnish organizations to take part in such practical work, which will be of great benefit to all participating. It is expected that President Roosevelt will review the troops participating in the maneuvers, but the date of the review h: not been determined definitely. The regular contingent of the dlvision will go into camp at Fort Riley September 20 and will be followed by the state or- ganizations September 20. It s intended to continue joint maneuvers for a period of ten days after the division is organized. In order not to interfere with tha current work of the various department headquar- ters a special division staff has been de- talled to report to Major General John C. Bates, who hae-been assigned to the com- mand of the division during the maneuvers. The benefits to be derived from bringing together regiments, brigades and divisions is s0 apparent that the War department has fully determined upon this policy for the future. Many of the states have per- manent maneuvers for ~ their national guards during the summer months, and the result has been extremely beneficial to all those organizations. The regular army has had an abundance of fleld service dur- ing the past four years, but nearly all the nt work in the Philippine islands has been done by small detachments, fre- quently mere squad: It fs probable that the maneuvers for this year will include instruction in ad- vance and rear guard patrolling,. passage of “deflles; ‘defense of convoys, marches of concentration, attack and defense of po- sitions, use of pontoon bridges and com- bined maneuvers of the three arm: The following officers have been assigned to duty on the staff of General Bates and have been directed to report at Fort Riley not later than September 20: Major J. W. McClernand, cavalry, adjutant general; Lieuteriant Colonel 8. C. Mills, inspector general; Captain C. B. Baker, chief quar- termaster; Captain H. J. Gallagher, chief commissary; Lieutenant Colonel John Van R. Hoff, chief surgeon, and Major G. P. Scriver, chief signal officer. KENTUCKY GIRL IS MURDERED Daughter of C. M.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20—The verdict of & coroner’s jury today practically leaves any further investigation as to the supposed death of Minnie Mitchell ‘to the September grand jury. State Attorney Deneen will re- turn to the city soon and will take up the charges against Thompson, OClaffey and Counselman. More tangible results are expected from the postponed inquest In the case of Mrs. Anne Bartholih which will be resumed to- morrow. For this murder Oscar Thompson 18 held as principal and Counselman and Clafty as accessoriés, although Willlam Bartholin Is belng sought on the suspicion of matricide as well as for the murder of his flancee. While the important testimony of the wigmaker, who' Identified the switch of false hair as one she had made for Minnie Mitchell, came to help the theory of the police that the body was that of Miss Mit- chell, Dr. Joseph Springer, the coroner's vhysiclan, steadfastly maintained that it was not her body and gave the coroner the following statement: ““On August 8 I held a postmortem examination upon the body of an unknown woman (unidentified). On | inspection 1 found the body in a bad state of decomposition. I fond the scalp, shoulders and arms totally destroyed by absorption. ‘I found the abdomen con- tracted, the: skin dried and the tissues’of the pelvis destroyed by absorption. 1 found a bullet hole one-fourth on an inch in diameter in the.center of the back of the head, In the center of the occipital bone. On opening the skull I found the braln totally destroyed, the skull empty. I found & small flattened bullet lying at the base, the vertebrae of the back protruding and the tissues destroyed. In my opinion the sald unknown womian came to her death from a bullet wound In the head.” No Quicklime Used. Dr. Springer declared it was his opinion that death. must have occurred from nine to twelve weeks preceding the finding of the body, in order to allow the disintegra- tion of the body as it was found. He de- clared that quicklime had not been used. Thus, after an investigation by the Chi- cago police extending .over a fortnight ani two days’ coroner’s inquest, the authorities are still in doubt whether the body of the murdered woman found in the fleld at Sey- enty-fourth and State streets was really that of Minnle Mitchell. Three men stand accused of complicity in her death, and that of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and are hell in heavy bopds to the grand jury, yet even the coroner’s jury when it rendered a ver- dict today recommending . that Oscar Thompson, Edward Counselman and John Claffey be held to explaln the death, stated only that the bady was supposed to be that of Minnle Mitchell. Articles of clothing, found near the dead body, however, were identified by the Mitchell family. and a week ago the body was burled as Minple Mitchell by relatives of the girl, whd has begn missing sinee July 30, and who was last seen in company of her nnm& Willtam J. Bartholin. TWo Witn Yicutevant Healy ahd | Willlam Allen, testtfied ‘that Counselman, the intimate Tiferfd ‘of ‘Bartholin, had"told them the :fugitive wanted ‘-money with which to pay for a surgical operation on the Mitchell girl at a north side hospital. With this conflicting testimony to hinder them, the police are almost stalled in their rch for Willlam Bartholin, of whom the coroner's jury recommended the apprehen- slon.
