TRIED 10 SHOOT THE RAPIDS.

TRIED TO SHOOT THE RAPIDS
Robert Leach, of WATERFOWL, yes
terday attempted to do what Carlisle
D. Graham did but only half succeeded.
Leach has butt barrel in which to go
over the Horseshoe Falls and yesterday
tested it by going through the rapids.
l; =, rs about o'clock when Leach en-
tered the barrel. The manhole cover
wgs placed in position and boat
started out from the shore toward mid
stream with the barrel in tow. When
we'll out in the stream the barrel was
at the mercy of the current. Slowly
the barrel drifted down stream, but 1t
was not caught by the main current
and il swung in toward shore. The
boat put out and again towed the bar
rel out in the river. This time it was
caught by the down current. The bar
rel rode the waves nicely. The course
at first was about midsream and then
it inclined to the Canadian side. OOly
few times did the crests of soma OF
the larger waves bury the craft out Of
sight. Straight down the stream it
went and as it approached the whirl-
pool all thought it was going right into
1t. However, Leach's barrel was caught
10 ne eddy of the Canadian side just
above the whirlpool aud there it tloated
for some little time. Those who watch
ed it closely noticed tine manhole cover
move and then Lesch's mead appeared
to tell that he was alive. By this time
men had hurried along and in the
course of an hour the barrel was caught
and Leach landed He was unburt.
He carried about 400 pounds of lead
and iron as ballast in the barrel. Air
was admitted through two holes. Net
ting kept Leach from striking the sides
hard enough to hurt him.

Cost OF German Colonies.

Germany can scarcely be considered
as successful in her efforts to secure
fame as Il colonizing power. The esti-
mated cost of colonies for the coming
year is liYcd. according to the imperial
budget. at $2.000.OOO, i'll return for
which she is able to point to 1903 col
onists, all told, of which number half
are soldiers and officials. With regard
to the trade, Germany's exports to her
colonies do not noun to $1.5OO,OOO
per annum. so that from a business
point of view the undertaking can
scarcely be considered as IL profitable
one. 1t is evident that the fault lies
with the German government rather
than with the German merchants. The
latter thrive and prosper to 81 phcnom-
email degree in the United States, and
in all those English colonies where ini-
tiative, enterprise and nj are

Wheeler Rcfutcs the Charccs.

General Joseph Wlleeler's Testimony
before the war inquiry commission is
Il pretty general REPUTATION of all the
more serious charges under investiga-
tion. 1t deals specifically and in detail
with conditions at the two places San
tiago and Montauk-where the troops
are alleged to have undergone the
greatest h%ardships and suffering by
reason of the Incompetence and neglect
of war officials.
This is the testimony of 81 soldier
Il volunteer general, who previously
had been through a four-years' war. 1t
is the testimony of n mar who belongs
to the party from whose members NEST
of the charges of mismanagement have
emanatcd. That the people WHO know
General Wheeler best hive unlimited
confidence in him is shown by the fact
that all parties in his district have tni-
ted to honor him with a unanimous re-
election to Congress. In the face of
such testimony the sensational charges
of n sensational press and designing
politicians cannot stand.

sirable and right. and they c:lnnor he

Facts of importance.

The frce-traders have ~discoursed
long II loudly on the folly and worse
than folly of our putting a protective
tariff on steel rails or on steel products
OF any kind. They considered it folly
for us to hope to rival British manufac-
tuners even in the American market.
They considered little short of criminal
to enhance the cost of steel products
TO the American consumer-as they
We're so sure ii would. Vet to-day steel
rails car be bought for less than one
quarter OF their price only twenty
years ago. and we are not only supply
ing the American market with steel
rails, but we are shipping steel rails to
Great Britain and are laying them
down almost ut the doors of British
steel factories. \ dispatch from Bos-
ton. under date of Sept. ID, to the New
York Commercial, states that steel
rails are being shipped from that port
to Great Britain, and that a large num-
Der of tons of steel rails shipped from
Boston are to he used within Il mile of
the works of the great Martin-Siemans
Company, the pioneers of the steel rail
manufacture in Wales.
\ dispatch from Chicago, under the
date of Sept. is, states that the Scully
Steel and Iron Company of that city
has just closed Il contract for the de-
livery Of $500 ions OF steel plates at
Victoria, b. c., to be used in the con-
struction of five British steamships. by
of the largest ship-building firms
