wiz Vancouver off the Chesapeake.

Washington, June 29.-Acting Secretary
Roosevelt held a conference for an hour
with Admiral Sicard, commanding the
North Atlantic squadron, Capt. Growing
shield. chief of the navigation bureau and
Capt. Jewell of the ordinance bureau re-.
speeding the disposition of the vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron this summer
and next fall While there is no DISPOSE
ton to undertake extensive manouevres
OF the fleet on the English pattern, whic b
would require the division of the force Of
vessels into organized souadrons, the de.
partment believes that it is necessary to
good discipline and the management of
the ships that at least once a year they
should be put through squadron drills.
Therefore the North Atlantic squadron
will this year be put through course of
fleet exercises that may occupy the vessels
for several weeks at least. While the de-
tails are not yet arranged the number of
ships that will participate was fixed today
at seven, namely the Massachusetts,, Iowa,
Indiana, Maine, New York, Texas and
Brooklyn. These ships will act together
in one squadron. Most of the drilling is
expected to take place somewhere off the
Chesapeake capes.

HAVE ASSESSED THE MEMBERS.
Life Association Hopes to Meet Its
Liabilities.

Boston, June 29.-An important meet
ing of the directors of the Massachusetts,
Benefit Life Association was held this
afternoon, when, with the approval of the
insurance commissioner of the special as
sessment, it was decided to make SUI
preme effort to pull the association
through the obstacles that confront it.
At the previous meeting the matter of
the death claims that had accumulated
was thoroughly gone over and there was
a difference of opinion among the direc-
tors whether the association should close
up in face of the opposition, attacks and
complications against it, or whether it
should fall back on it's contracts and call
upon the members to pay in sufficient to
meet the death claims and continue bust
ness.
At today's meeting the party for con-
tinuance prevailed and by unanimous
vote it was decided to send out special
assessment to meet the death claims.
. This special assessment has been ap-
proved by the commissioner in notice
issued today and will go out July /.
U 1t will be accompanied by special ap-
peal from the directors who are yet hope
full that sufficient will be received to en-
able the association to meet the claims
and go on.

UTILIZING THE TIDES.
The Rise and Fall of the Water Put to
Unique Use in Liverpool.

Various plans have been suggested at
different times to use the rise and fall of the
tides, but the intermittent character of
the power has usually prevented any salts
factory solution of the problem, says
Casters Magazine. There is, however,
one instance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very simple
manner, Along the river front at Liver
pool there is a tendency for the accumu-
lation of silt against the dock walls, re-
quiring occasional dredging for its remov-
al. Instead Of using sloop dredges this
mud..is removed at different periods by
the use of tide power in the following
manner; Along the base of the dock
walls is laid pipe, perforated with holes,
directed outward, this pipe being connect
ed with the interior of the dock system,
and suitable valves being provided to
permit or check the flow of water. When
the tide is very low, and consequently the
head Of water measured from the surface
in the docks is at it's greatest, sudden
opening of the connection permits rapid
flushing action by the water escaping
through holes in the pipe at the base Of
the walls, securing out the mud and
driving it out into the river to be carried
away. AS the tides at Liverpool average
about twenty five feet or more, it is evil
dent that this simple form of dredging
apparatus may be very effective, and, as
the times chosen for using it may be Sc
lected when the supply of the water is the
| greatest, it does not interfere with the
regular use of the docks. Ultimately, no
doubt, the Introduction of practical and
economical forms of power storage will
render the equalization of tide power
| -s-TI L. - II
emit time this example serves to demon
strate the fact that solar and lunar attrac-
ton, as expressed by the tides, have been
harnessed In small way at least.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Trying to Nominate a Candidate for
Governor.

Columbus, Ohio, June 29-The prelim-
vention today showed that it was almost
unanimously free silver and John r.
Mclean for senator. There was, how
ever, a continuation of the contests for
the places ON the state ticket.
Robert T. Hough and ex- Congressman
Paul j. Sorgiers are in the lead for the
gubernatorial nomination.
When the delegates met at 4. 80 p. m. by
districts, it developed that there was a
strong feeling against some of Mclean 6
managers because of their attempt to
dictate the state nominations, especially
that of r. L. Hough for governor. After
the pulse of the delegates had been felt
in these preliminary meetings, confer
ence was called for tonight between Nc
Leans lieutenants and other leads. The
Mclean men carried all of the 81 con-
gressional districts by large majorities for
members Of the state central committee
and for all the other committees, but
many who co-operated with them at these
meetings objected to the word being Civ
en- out for any one of the dozen candi-
dates for governor. The committee on
resolutions is composed of radical silver
men with the exceptions of ex Gov. James
B. Campbell, ex-senator T. M. Marriott
W. f. Hackney and Carl Nau, who are
classed as conservative silver men.
The members of the state central COM
mittee are all classed as silver men and
favorable to Mclean for senator, with
possibly two exceptions.
After the meeting of the delegates by
districts there was movement tonight
to bring out new man for governor.
one who had not been involved in the
complications of the past two days, and
Gen. A. j. Warner, president of the ma
tional bimetallic league, and one of the
original silver advocates in Congress, was
most prominently mentioned as the dark
horse.
The convention assemblies at 10 a. m.
tomorrow and it is stated that there will
be no recess or adjournment until nomi-
nation is made for governor. 1t is be-
lieved that some of the candidates will
drop out before the start, but that there
will be almost dozen names presented
for governor.

SATISFIED WITH ENGLAND.
Premier Laurier Says the Dominion Does
Not Wish To Be Independent.

London. June 29.-Three hundred and
thirty-four guests were present at the
banquet given this evening at the Hotel
Cecil in honor of Dominion day. Sir
Donald Smith, the Canadian high COM
missioner, presided. Among those present
were Sir Milford Laurier, premier of the
Dominion, the Marquis of Lorn, Lord
Derby, Baron Herschell, Sir VIM. V.
Whiteway, premier of New Foundland
and the other colonial premiers, Sir
Charles Rivers, the Canadian archbishop
and bishops, who are now III London,
many Canadian officers and members OF
the House Of Commons, among them
Prof. James Brice and the Hon. Edward
Blake.
After the usual loyal toasts, Sir Dom
aid Smith proposed 1.-THE Prosperity of
the Dominion" Dwelling upon it's i'm
mcnse resources, he said that the Cana
dams might in the future equal in num-
Der their friends in the United States.
He referred to the proof which the jubilee
celebrations had given of the strong ties
binding the Dominion to Great Britain,
and coupled the name of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier with the toast.
Sir Wilfred Laurier, on rising to re-
spond, was received with prolonged
cheering. He said it was very keen
pleasure TO MIN TO join IN celeDratlng
a nations birthday in the mother coun-
try. At the same time Canada was never
dearer to his heart than at the present
moment, Her history equalled, if it did
not excel, in dramatic interest, the his
tory of England, France OF any other
country in the world. She did not choose
to assume independence, because she was
already virtually independent and could
not have more power, freedom, happiness
and prosperity if she were separated
from England.
He dwelt at some length upon the re-
lations between England and the United
States and said that since he had been in
London he had seen evidnces of misap-
prehension on the part of the public men
as to the latent sentiment of the Ameri
cans toward Great Britain. He would
not hesitate to declare that the sentiment
was one of affection and reverence. The
enmity which once existed between
Great Britain, Canada and the United
States had been largely removed by the
Queen herself, in such wise and kindly
acts as her letter to the widow of Mr..
Lincoln and her intervention to prevent
friction in the Trent affair.
After an eloquent reference to the jubi-
lee service at st. Paul's he said: Let us
hope that the God of war will never
spread his wings between England and
the United States,'' and concluded: 6 If
on my death bed every trace of racial
feud has been removed, shall die happy
in the belief that l have not lived in
vain" loud cheering.)
Other toasts1followed Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier proposing the health of the chair
man.
