The smallest baby yet reported has
been born of Norwegian parents at
Lowell, Just north Of Warsaw, Ind. The
child IL a male, as perfectly formed as
a babe can be, and at its birth weighed
only nine ounces. A ring worn on the
little finger of the father was slipped
over It's foot and nearly mp 70 its knee.
The probabilities are that 1t will live.

NO TRACE OF M'KEOWN.
The Police Are Convinced He Was Most
FOully Murdered.

FOully Murdered.
BUTTE, May 19.-The mystery sur
rounding James McKeown, who disap-
peared so mYsteriously few weeks
ago, is as complete as ever In spite of
the continued and unceasing efforts of
the police to unravel the strange af-
fair.
The conviction is now pretty general
among those who bave been at work on
the case, that McKeown has been muir
dered and the search is being continued
more in hope of finding his body and
something that may establish some clue
to his murderers than the expectation
of finding him alive.
A little furry of excitement and sur.
prise was created last Saturday when
Chief of Police Leyden received let
ter stating that McKeowu had been
kidnapped and was being held for
ransom of 81 200. The letter was un-
signed and was written in cramped
hand in plainly disguised manner.
1t was not dated but the postmark on
the letter showed that it had been
mailed at the Butte o0i:e at 2 O'Clock
Saturday, May ~. 1t was written on
letterhead of Semensky & Schoettner,
photographers of Helena, who, the
letterhead states, have branches in
Butte and Great Falls. The letter was
simply addressed to the "Chief of Po-
lice," and is as follows;
"Chief of Police; Dear Sir-Are you
looking for Joseph (James) McKeown?
Well, you are not looking the right way.
The man is held prisoner in certain
part of Ruttei he is held for ransom,
has been kidnapped and unless there is
80, 900 reward offered he will, after
certain time be left to starve. The idea
Of kidnapping him was to get a large
reward and unless it Is forthcoming
soon he will be le fe to his fate-death-
for it is dangerous to turn him loose
now. His life is in the hands of his
brothe. and the city of Butte. The
money must be offered in safe manner.

decoy him to his first hiding place, but

"This letterhead has nothing to do
with the ones in the plot. This is not

now that did not lodge Information as
soon as found out the Truth of the
matter, but he has been moved farther
than his first hiding place. where to

more, and 1 would expose them if

Immediately on receipt of this letter
he police went to work on the kidnap-
ping theory and have investigated it so
thoroughly that they have come to the
conclusion that there is nothing in it.

Under this order Marshal Sam Vinson
sent crews of deputies out all along the
line of the Northern Pacific road last
nteh.. each fortified by copy of the
order, and numerous arrests are ex-
pected during the day.
The commonwealers In Spokane were
quiet all day and kept ont of sight. The
number has been very greatly decreased
during the past few days and there are
fewer here now than for week past.
Only a few are coming in and under an
order all arrivals are commanded to
move on toward Helena within twenty
four hours after reaching Spokane.
About forty left for the east yesterday
in small bands. There are said to be a
great many coming in from Sprague,
fresh arrivals, but these are likely to
ind travelling much more arduous now

SEVEN WONDERS OF COREA.

Among Them Are q How ering stone
and an Indestructible Forest.
A Chinese paper describes the seven
wonders which Corea, like unto other
Oriental countries, possesses, and which
played a conspicuous role In antiquity.
The Corean wonders" consist, first, OF
q hot mineral spring near Kin Shantao,
witch is capable of curing sickness
and diseases of all sorts. The second
wonder is the two wells, one q each
end Of the peninsula, which have the
peculiar characteristic that when one
is full the other is empty. The water
Of the: one is intensely bitter, that OF
the other has pleasant and sweet
taste. The third wonder Is q cold cave
from which there issues constantly an
ice-cold wind, with such force that
strong man is not able to stand up
against it. A pine forest which cannot
be eradicated constitutes the 1ourtn
wonder.
No matter what injury may be done
to the roots the young trees spring up
again like the phoenix from Its ashes.
The most remarkable, however, IS the
fifth wonder-the famous lowering
stone-which stands, or rather appears
to stand, in front Of palace erected
to it's honor. This Is a massive rect
angular block, free on all sides. Two
men standing, one On each end, can
draw a cord underneath the stone,
from side to side, without encounter1ng
any obstacle The sixth 0nder Is
hot stone which has been lying from
time immemorial on the summit Of
hill and evolving a glowing heat The
seventh Corean wonder is q sweating

on all sides not a single blade OF grass
grows. No tree no flower Will flourish

aresut are careful not to profane It.

HILL MEANS BUSINESS.
Wants to Push the Suit Against the
Stanford Estate.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Ex-senator Hill
has resolved that the Department of JUS
tice shall have no further excuse for not
pushing its claim against the Stanford es-
tate. He reported to-day from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary bill authorizing
and directing Attorney-General Olney to
institute suit In the California courts for
the recovery of the amount due from the
Stanford estate. The bill directs that this
suit shall be prosecuted as rapidly as the
interests of justice will permit, that it
shall he forthwith determined, and that IL
shall. as nearly as possible. be given pre-
cedence over all other court business. Ten
thousand dollars is appropriated to defray
the expenses of the suit.
Senator Hill was seen by THE CALL
correspopdent tonight and in reply to
ouestion said: "Tbe bill is self-explana-
tory in its object 1t is not only to fur
nish money to prosecute this suit. but also
intended TO give the Attorney General
explicit Instructions.
Senator Hill said he did not know
whether he could get action oD it in the
Ssnate at this session as it was so near its
close. but at all events he would push it at
NEXT winters session and hoped to have it
adopted.
When asked whether he would attempt
tn include other of the stockholders' as.
tates he said that was matter for future
consideration. Just now, however. it was
of importance to have this Stanford case
decided and as quickly as possible in view
of the estate being soon divided Up among
the heirs.

the charge and specification read, to which
Major Worth pleaded not guilty. The court
was composed entirely of old veterans who
have seen more or less hardships and ac-
tual lighting service. Major Worth ad-
mltted that the men were ordered to tar
get practice, and DO evidence on that point
was introduced. He explained, however,
that he thought state of war existed, as
the troops were expected to be called TO
Chicago daily. AS Lincoln's order against
Sunday work applied to times of peace it
was suspended. the defense argued. The
case rested here.
The prosecution argued that the rule was
not suspended, as war did not exist. The
attorney for the defense went on TO show
that Liucoln's order was not in force, and
introduced the laws of the army published
by Secretary of War Endicott in February.
1889, which are prefaced by the statement
that they are the laws of the army. These
rules do not mention President LiDcOln's
orders of 1862 regarding work ana military
practice on Sunday. II was further held
that the order of President Harrison abol-
ishing Sunday inspection abrogated and
rendered null President Lincoln's order.
Judge Advocate Baird completed the
argument. He contended that 1t was an
inexcusable violation of army ethics and

IN CANADIAN WATERS.
Intended Seizure of American
Vessels Reported.
Trading Operations in the Macken-
zie River May Lead to Inter-
national Complications.

QUEBEC, Aug. 13.-It will be well If no
International complications follow the re-
ported intention of the Canadian Govern
meut to make seizures of American ships
now reported in the Mackenzie River.
There are no less than seven OF them
there, where they passed the winter, and
the report has been sent out from Ottawa
that the fishermen have been setting the
laws of International rights at defiance
pretty freely in that section. The infor-
nation upon which these rumors are based
is said to be contained in letter from
Fort Hope, on the Mackenzie River, which
has taken two months to reach here, hav-
ing been dated Gune 20. The only para
graph of the message made public by the
Government, liz order to bear out the i'm
preston sought to be conveyed of Illegal
acts on the part of the vessels owners and
crews, is the following:
I'VE received letters lately ftom Peele
River post. in which we are told that
about $50 miles from that post. down the
Mackenzie. seven ships had wintered,
hunting whales and trading furs, and that
during the last fall they had killed 11O
whales. Canadian officials insist that
these vessels must have made their catches
in the estuares OF the Mackenzie River,
W which are wholly in Canadian territory.
They also stated that the goods obtained
from the Indians were brought IN by
foreigners without the payment OF duty.
1t is officially announced that the Do
minion Government has taken measures to
ascertain the extent to which this has
been carried on.
''It is known. too, that Inspector Con-
stantine of the Northwest Mounted Police
was dispatched northward in the direction
of Alaska as early as last June and his
destination was even then believed to De
the shores of the Arctic Ocean in the
vicinity of the estuares of the Mackenzie
River and Yukon River. Ths nature of
his instructions has never been made pub
lie and to all inquiries on the subject the
Government observes discreet silence"
1t is now believed at Ottawa that the
Government had information regarding
the action Of the American shirs prior to
the date Of the letter. of which portion
has been made public. and that it was part
Of Constantine's duty to reach the mouth
of the Mackenzie River before the vessels
got out into the ocean. 1t is more than
probable that whatever action was to be
taken by the inspector has been taken be-
fore this, but news may not be received
of 1t here for several weeks.

ARMS FOR CHINA.
Rich Harvest Will Be Reaped by
American DeaIers

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Aug. 13.-All re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding. the
arms companies in this city expect to
reap rich harvest from the shipment of
weapons for the oriental war. Two weeks
ago q test case was made by the Winches-
ter Company Two members OF the
Chinese legation visited the factory of the
company, bought large order, which was
shipped for China via Vancouver at once,
and the action of the Government was
awaited with anxiety. None has been
taken. and it is now believed that free
shipments of arms to the belligerents from
the United States will not be inter
fered with. This is exactly accord
ing to precedent. The case of the Turco-
Russian war was the most notorious
example Of shipments of American
guns to participate in a foreign war and
the recollection Of the Grecan ships sail
ing up the local harbor and loading with
New Haven arms is still vivid in the minds
OF the people of this city. The Ninches-
ter ana Martin arms companies have fur
nished the munitions of war to many of
the South American countries in the re-
cent wars, as well as to other countries
engaged in hostilities. They are eager to
Japan and Will probably be permitted to
do so.
An interesting incident relative to the
order of guns just made to China is told
by Winchester empEoye. He said that
on the occasion of the visit of the Chi
nese agents 10 the factory here they were
shown the various patents of arms and
seemed to be entirely unskilled in
knowledge of what was the most ap-
proved and desirable style Of shooting
irons, Finally they selected for their en-
tire order 5000 Hotchkiss guns of a pat
tern OF ten years ago. a lot that the COM
pany had been fOr:some time solicitous
about disposing of toadyantage. Judging
from the INCIDENT the Chinese idea of
modern firearms is not exactly fin de
steele. The manufaeturerst think the edict
of Won CapIivio of Germany, that no guns
shall go froHi:that country to the Orient,
VIII aid: American Shipments materially.
