CHICAGO'S CONFEDERATE MEM
ORAL.

| A dispatch from Chicago says: Gen.
Underwood, commander of the North,
United Confederate Veterans, deems it
advisable to issue letter defining its
position.
The letter, which is addressed "To
the Citizens of the United States and
United People of One Nation," says in
part:
"The permission to erect monu-
ment over the remains of 5000 South
ern soldiers in Oakwood cemetery Was
granted by the Secretary of War.
Accordingly fund was raised, two
thirds of which having been contrbu-
ted by citizens of Chicago, and the
monument as it stands was erected
under direct provision of the permit
that emanated from the War Depart
ment.
Last Decoration Day number of
G. A. r. Posts joined with the Confed-
crate Camp in the memorial exercises
and profusely decorated the Confeder-
ate graves with northern hov g s-the

U. S. CRUISER COLUMBIA
High and Dry in the Brooklyn
Dock
The Nature Of the Damage Received at
Southampton Appears Insignlfi-
cant at First View

BROOKLYN, Aug. 12.-The United
States cruiser Columbia sits high and dry
in the new dock here this evening, and
tomorrow morning at 10 o. clock Conmo-
dore Sel!ridge. Naval Constructor f. r..
Bowles and Chief Engineer Edward
Farmer, who have been appointed By a
special board of survey to determine the
nature and extent OF her damage. received
in drydock at Southampton, will begin a
careful survey.
Among those who watched every move
ment when the ship entered the dock
was Mr.. Louis Nixon. formerly naval
officer, but later superintendent of con-
struction in Cramps shipbuilding yards
in Philadelphia.
AS soon as the bumpers had finished
their work Mr.. Nixon went down to the
bottom OF the dock and looked over the
'vesssfs keel very carefully. To the un-
initiated there seemed to be som Dething
wrong with the fiat keel, as the edges
were turned up in several places from
the fire room forward, a distance of 22O
feet. Mr.. Nixon, when seen by re-
porter OF the Associated Press. said:
II have been carefully examining the
keel Of the vessel and l find that along
tins line of the vertical keel there is prac-
tically no yielding. The fiat keel has
been pinched up in several places on ITS
edges. There are several bad bends on
both edges which were caused. to my
mind, by the blocks OF the Southam pton
docks, whore they came between the
frame. The damages are simply local,
and will not affect the general strength
of the ship, as tho backbone of the vessel
showS no strain.'
Captain Sumner, as we'll as the other
officers of the Columbia. refused to be IN
terviewed. although there was rumor
current that the commander Of the vessel
at the time OF her docking at Sout!iamp.
ton, was in possession of plan of con,
struction of the dock. and us to whether
be used this for his information or not
remains to be seen.
No information will be given in refer
ence to the whole affair until the board
gets through Its work and files report
in Washington.

THE STEAMSHIP ELBE SANK
And the German Admiralty Tells Us
Wherefore
It Happened Seven nonths Ago, and Its Set.
tlement Must Afford consolation
to the Bereaved

BREMERHAN EN-. Aug. 12.-Ths ad-
miralty court has rendered decision in
the inquiry made into the sinking of the
steamship Elbe. in collision with the
British steamer Crathie. in January last.
Ths court holds that the blame of the
collision must be attributed to the mate
OF the Crathie. who deserted his post i'm
madiately before the occurrence and went
into the galley of the ship. Continuing,
the findings say that the officer in charge
of the watch OF the El be cannot. how
ever. be freed from the reproach that he
omitted to get out of the way of the
Crathie by timely manipulation of the
helm, and failed to attract the attention
OF the crew of the Craihie ty signaling
with the steam whistle.
The court holds that the officers of the
Elpe made every effort possible to save
the lives of the passengers. but the ouds
were against them.
1t was found that the construction Of
the vessel was not faulty. as has been
charged; neither was she overloaded in
any way. The admiralty court advocates
drills for handling Of boats on all
transatlantic steamers. The master of the
Crathie is exonerated from all blame SO
far as refers to his failure to make an
attempt 10 save the passengers of the
Elbe, owing to the fact that the G. .athie
was so seriously injured as to necessitate
her immediate docking.

ELECTRIC TORPEDO
Machine to Be Built Which Must End Ma
rne Warfare

OAKLAND. Aug. 12.-Charles F. Nc.
Dermott is perfecting an electric submar-
inc torpedo, the invention of DR.. Gross
of Chicago. which he says will put an
end to marine warfare. With this tDr-
pedo, he says. few men could keep off
the combined navies of the world. The
torpedo will be com pleted within week.
1t will then be taken to Goat island,
where secret experiment will be made.
An old iron hulk is to be floated, and the
torpedo Will be sent below the surface OF
the water on its errand of destruction.
Mr.. McDermott is confident that the
new invention will instantly shstter and
sink the hulk. He says that no warship,
however strong and forrv,dable, can sur.
vive shocS from his torpedo. About
the first Of September public exhibition
will be given. By the use of electricity
with com binations of powerful explos-
ives, Mr.. McDermott says he can destroy
the staunchest OF vessels.
DR.. Gross, the inventor, recently man.
ufactured and patented new explosive
more powerful than dynamite. He made
arrangements to sell it to China, to be
used in the war with Japan. With his
explosive he crossed the Pacific. but his
secret had been divulg-d and the Japan
government notified The federal authori-
ties at Washington, who enjoned him
from making further negotiations with
the Chinese government. The same ex-
plosive is to be used in tn, torpedo.
