DEAD ALL EMPLOYES OF SANITARIUM Tragedy Occurs on L Battle Creek, Michigan, and No Explanation of Aceldent s Yet Offered. ke Goguae Near DATTLE CREEK, Mich., Aug. 28.—Five members of a boating party of six em- playes of the Battle Creek sanitarium were drowned last night in Lake Coguac, their row boat being run down by the steamer Welcome. The dead: MABEL RICHARD, aged 26, stenographer, Travers City, Mich. LIZZIE BRADY, aged 25, nurse, residence unknown, DELLA DORSEY, aged 21, nurse, Alle- gbeny, Pa. FANNIE WILLIS, nurse, home near Toronte, Ont. C. . BENNETT, male nurse, Dallas, Tex. Miss Carey Eyock, the other occupant of the capsized boat, was rescued. Bennett bad besn rowing the young women bout the lake and the party was returning to the sanitarium villa, about 10 o'clock, Just as the little steamer Welcome was leaving the dock with an excursion party. In some as yet unexplained way Welcome ran the rowboat down. The small boat was struck amidships and the huli crushed. All the occupants were thrown into the water. Miss Eyock managed to catch hold of the overturned boat and hung to it until she ‘was rescued by a person who had wilnessed the accident and come out in a boat. In a short time the bodies of Miss Brady and Miss Richard were found floating on the water. They had evidently been killed by the collision or else they would have sunk as did their companions. Dragging for the bodies of the others was immediately begun and at 2:30 all had been recovered and were brought t this city. All of the victims except Miss Richard were members of the new class of nurses at the sanitarium. STRIKE BECOMESWAR .

THURMOND, W. Va, Aug. 28.—Every- thing is quiet in the New River coal fleld to- night and has been quiet throughout the day, a 1ittlé skirmish at Caperton in which twenty or more shots were fired, but o ode injured. The entire Second regi- mient, state troops, arrived here this even- ing, and tonight is being distributed about varfous coal operations where trouble re- sulted. Bheriff Danfel thinks that more serious trouble will soon follow. He says the strik- ers are becoming more determined and that it was absolutely impossible for him to cope with the situation. Almost every mine on the Kanawha and New rivers is being op- erated on a small scal In these flelds probably 2,000 miners are at work and 6,000 or 8,000 1dle. Considerable property has al- ready been destroyed and it is belleved that the sending of troops will tend to enra the strikers more than ever and bloodshed may soon result. The operators are deter- mined and state emphatically that they have no Intention of conceding a single demand made by the strikers. [ Out Tro CHARLESTON, W. Va., Aug. 28.—Gov- ernor White has ordered the Second regi- 5 ment of the West Virginia National Guard | to the New River district, not, as he says, to settle the strike, but to protect life and property. Colomel Morrison at Park- ersburg, was given orders early in the morning to call out his regiment and pro- eceed by special train to Thurmond, which will be the headquarters. The ca for this action by the governor is the appeal of Sherift Daniel of Fayette county for sistance on the ground that many citizens refuse to respond to his summons to act as deputies to enable him to execute the or- ders of the court and his declaration that he 18 powerless to protect life and property. He communicated with the governor yes- terday when his deputies were fired on in the vicinity of Red Ash, where they we evicting miners, who are strikers and who are in arrears for renmt. ROANOKE, Va., Aug. 28.—A special to the Times from Bluefleld, W. Va., says There is considerable excitement on Crane creek and Simmons creek over the recent shootings.+ This morning Jol ho Ruble, & blacksmith employed by the Sag- amore Coal and Coke company, was shot by striking miners and killed. Reports were current during the day that a num- ber of guards had been killed and wounded by the strikers, but investigation prov that Ruble was the only man killed. Rubl of the mine workers, are not very good, according to the outlook here. The superintendents of the coal companies practically admit that at the present rate there is no chance of getting the collieries open for many weeks, Several of the collieries have been started, but not one is working at anything like its capacity. At each of these mines, It is ad- mitted by the companies, they have only about 100 men st work, but the claim is made that they are getting more every day. The collieries working are the Oxford, of the People's Coal company; the Von Storch and Dickson, of the Delaware & Hvdson; the Cayuga, Dedge id Hampton of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, in this city, and the Avondale, of the latter com- pany, at Kingstoa. The normal tonnage of these mines during regular working time is 1,000 tons per day, while at phessnt they ure turning out about 300 toms. While an average of 3,000 tons of mined coal is being daily prepared in the district, the average for 1900, when but 176 days were worked during the year, was 28,988 tons per day. PITTSBURG, Kan., Aug. 38.—Atter a con- ference lasting seventy-five days the union miners and union operators of district 14 have reached a settlement. The comtract ‘| agreed upon s practically the same as that of last year, although the miners se- cured a few unimportant concessions. Tt is now believed that all differences be- tween the miners and operators have been adjusted and that sll danger of a strike has been averted. NEVADA FUSIONISTS " FINISH Silver Party and Democrats Have Se- lected Their Men for the Ticket. RENO, Nev,, Aug. 28.—The silver party convention made these nominations: Lieu- tenant governor, Lemuel Allen of Church- hill county; supreme judge, C. F. Talbot, Elko; secretary of state, Eugene Howell; B. D. Kelley; regent of State pniversity, C E. Mark, Storey. The democratic convention made these nominations: United States senmator, F. G. representative In congress, C. D. Van Duser; governor, John Sparks; at- torney general, James G. Sweeney, Ormsby; superintendent of public instruction, John Edwards Bray; regent of State University, W. W. Booker; district judges, Willlam Woodman, B. F. Curler, Breen, George S. Brown, M. 8. Bonnlefield. This practically completes the labor of both conventions, and all that remains to be done is for them to mest in joint con- vention and ratify the nominations mad The fight for United States senator prom- ises to be & hard fought battle between the republican and fusion parties. Thomas P: Haley has been a resident of Nevada for forty years and has occupled many places of trust and Homor. For more than fitteen years he has been United States judge for the district of Nevada. Francis G. New- lands has been a resident of this state for twelve years, ten of which have been spent in congress. Two years ago Newlands an- nounced thai b wouid be a candidate for the United States senate. A. C. Cleveland of White Pine probably will be pitted ugainst John Sparks, the democratic nominee for governor. MORE NOMINEES ARE NAMED Conventions of All Pelitical Complex- tons tinue to Grind Out HAVRE DB/ GRACE, Md.,, Aug. 28.—At the democratic -dofivention of the: Second Maryland districttoday J. Fred C.

OCEAN CITY, Md., Aug. 28.—Congr man Willlam H, Jackson wi nominated by acclamation today by the 'republican convention of the First Maryland district. There was no opposition to Jackson's nom- ination. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Aug. 28.—The re- publican states convention met at Greens- boro today and endorsed the candidacy of Thomas H, Hill, of Halifax, independent, for chlef justice of the supreme court, and left blank positions of assoclate justice: The convention adopted a resolution a cepting the constitutional amendment of distranchisement and binding the party not to contest the amendment’s constitution- ality, The convention was composed entirely of white men. The contesting delegations of negroes, headed by ex-Congressman Cheat- ham and O’'Heara, prominent eastern North Carolina colored republicans, and others, were In every instance defeated. The busi- ness of the convention was settled in cau- cus. Captain Charles Price of Balisbury, division counsel for the Southern railway, was chairman of the convention. He made a speech congratulating the republican party on the elimination of the negro from politics in North Carolina, saying that they were now released from the “body of death. A number of former democrats were | among the delegates. CINCINNATI, Aug. 28.—The democratic county conventign today was one of the most exciting ever held in Hamilton county and the politiciahs are still in doubt as to who won the victory. Both the Bernard and enti-Bernard factions claim that they will control the county executive committee and the delegation to the state convention, Mayor ‘Tom Johnson of Cleveland was endorsed for chalrman of the state convention with a protest from the Bernard faction.

L, Aug, 28.—After months of preparation the final war maneuvers with an army of defense against an enemy made up of a large number of ships, will begin at_midnight Sunday. The ‘preliminary work practically ends at midnight Friday, and two days are-allowed for the fleet and the armiy of defense to get into position. To decide which side wins the fmaginary contest next week, a large number of um- pires and observers have been assigned to the different forts and to the different ves- sels of the fleet which will be commanded by Admiral Higginson. Fach vessel wiil have an umpire and an army observer, wh'le the army will have an army umpire and & naval observer. The army established an observing station on Brenton's reef. This is the only out- side searchlight station the army will have. NEW LONDON, Conn., Aug. 28.—Tomof- row night the first real move In the game of war between the army and the navy will be made. Gardiner's Point has been con- sidered a weak spot by the army men and one liable to be attacked by the navy. There 1s no fort-at that point, and it is only guarded by two dismounted guns. Subma- rine boat Dime is darting about in that vicinity, which leads to the belief that the passage of the North Atlantfc squadron will be guarded by mines. Colonel Davis, com- manding the New London district, with headquarters at Fort Wright, Fisher's fs- land, and Major General MacArthur, with other officers of high rank in the army, spent most of the day In consultation. Higginson is Preparing. ON BOARD BATTLESHIP ALABAMA, oft Menesha Light, Martha's Vineyard, Mass., Aug. 28.—Rear Admiral Francis T. Higgioson's fleet of warships is anchored here today making final preparations for the second series of war maneuvers. This fleet, which comprises what will be known as the attacking squadron, is made up of Kearsarge (flagehip) Alabama, Mass- achusetts; (all battleships), the cruiser Brooklyn, (flagship of Rear Admiral Cogh- lan), the cruiser Olympis, the converted yacht Gloucester, the gunboat Scorpion and the tugs Perio, Leyden and Vina. Since their arrival here on Monday all thé war- ships have been coaling for the maneuvers of a later date, the last to coal being Alabama, which took on its supply today. It is expected that the training ship Puri- tan will be added to Admiral Higginson's force. Puritan is now at New Bedford. In the actual war game, it will be assumed to be a battleship, belng given a battle- ship's o of Aghting strength. The period of preparation amongst the fleet begins at midnight tomorrow night. As a preparation Admiral Higginson has introduced a new signal code by which he hopes to confuse. the shore statlons and sumber forts. He bas also issued sets of private rules governing the movements of the squadron, PAYS FOR BOXERS' MISCHIEF State Department Will Distribute First Installment of Chinese In- demnity Funds, ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The State partment has decided to begin at once distribution of the first installment of Chinese indemnity funds, amounting to about $480,000, among the missionary so- cleties and individuals who suffered from the Boxer uprising. The clalms commis- slon, composed of Minister Conger, Secre- tary Bainbridge and United States Consul Ragsdale, has adopted the plan of report- ing upon the merits of the claims in in- stallments instead of making one report at the end of the investigation, Thelr first report, which has just been received, passes upon sixty claims out of a total of about 250. These sixty clalms amount in the aggregate to about $800,000, so the first in- stallment of the Chinese indemnity will not be large enough to defray that total. In- stead of waiting until sufficient money is at hand for this purpose, the acting secretary of the department, Mr. Van Dyke, recom- mended that a payment of 25 per cent be made to each of these claimants immedi- ately and this plan has been adopted by the department. It s expected that the total of the clalms allowed will amount to about $2,500,000. OIL SEEMS GOOD SHIP FUEL Unom Statement is Made Steamer Mariposa’s Test W istactory Demonstration, de- the the that Sat- WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Although the official report of Lieutenant Winchell, who was detailed to accompany the ofl burning steamer Mariposa on its recent trip from Sn’ Francisco to the Soclety islands and return, for the purpose of making a com- prehensive report upon every feature of the ofl burning devices used by that Wleamer, has not yet reached the Navy de- partment, unoffictal data have arrived which are considered very satisfactory to those Interested in the question of liquid fuel. The run from San Francisco to. Tahitl is | 3438 knots. It was made by Mariposa at the rate-of 13.12 knots per hour, the whole run lasting eleven days, during which & little over 400 tons of oil were consumed. The number of pounds of ofl per knot used on the run was 260.9, which 1s equivalent to 8.58 knots per ton of ofl. It required 1.55 pounds of ofl per hour to develop ome horse power. This is considered quite satis- factory as under ordinary sea-going condi- tions It requires between 2% and 3 pounds of coal to develop ome horse power.

SHAW COACHES CUSTOMS MEN Tells Them Wha Who Attempt to Abuse These Privileg: WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Secretary Shaw has issued the following clrcular regarding the free entry of personal effects under the act of 1897 “To collectors "#nd other officers of the customs: It having been brought to the at- tention of the-department that ‘certain per- s0ns ‘have sought to place a strained con- struction upon the department circular No. 48, under date of May 7, 1902, the following explanation thereof and supplemental in- structions are hereby Issued ‘The language employed in the circular re- terre@ to Is as follows: Exempfion from duty will be allowed on wearing _apparel; articles’ of personal adgrnment, tollet articles and such other personal_eftects of a value not exceeding as mre ordinarily purchased abroad by ' tourists, provided they _are _not intended for the use of other persons or tor sale. “There is no warrant In this language or in any ruling of the department that jus- tifies the importation of clgars, spirituous, vinous or malt liguors in any other quan- tity or manner than provided by law; nelther is there anything in the circular to war- rant the exemption of merchandise as such from duties. The étatute uses this lan- guage: ‘Wearlrig ‘wpparel, articles of per- sona) adornment, tollet articles and simil: personal effecte.’ For some years it was held that similar personal effects in order to be exempt must be similar to wearing apparel, or similar to articles of personal adornment, or similar to toilet articles. The department ‘still holds that exempt articles must in a sense besimilar—that 1s, they must be of the same general class of articles as tourists ordinarily purchase abroad. “The difficulty, it will be seen, lies In applylng these rules In the light of whe statutes to particular cases, and it s the inteption. to clothe the customs officers with some measure of discretion. A dress pat- tern §s certainly similar to a gown, while & Bolt of dress gpods is merchandise. A pajr of silk hose is wearing apparel, but a grost is merchandise. Customs officers are expected to protect the revenues of the country, but they are not expected to ad- minister the laws with captious and vex- atious dtsortmipations. Whenever circum- stances ifdicaté that the returning tourist is attempting to impose upon the govern- ment the maximum rate of duty should be collected _and then all questions involved can ‘be determined on appeal.” The" secretary also issued the following instructions to the tollector of ehstoms at New York in the matter of relmported for- eign: goods: Sir<1 am In réeéipt of your letter of the 2th, calling attention to the department’s lettér of August 7, 132, relative to the re- importation of an“automobile and suggest- ing that certain individuals are seeking to have the rule applied to mérchandise. Thia was not the intention. The object of tie ruling is to relleve tourists from the sec- ond payment of duty on wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment and other personal and household effects appropriate to their journey. It must not be extended to merchandise. ‘The department recog- nizes the possible danger of this ruling being used to defraud the reventes of. the OouNtey unless carefully safcguarded.
