Brown Ore Lands Leased By A. H
 Perkins & Sons.

Bessemer, August 29.-(SpeciaL)-A. H. Perkins, of this city, and his sons, Messrs J. H. and I. F. Perkins, of Ensley City have leased for a term of years 400 acres of brown ore lands near Vincent, Ala, on the Georgia Central railroad, about eighteen miles southeast of Leeds. It is claimed the deposit is practically inex- haustible, very rich, and in large, clean masses. The ore does not have to be washed.
 It is said contracts have been made for delivery of all that can be mined at $1.25 a ton delivered.
 Arthur Copeland, who was run over by a freight train Thursday and who rallied to such an extent that hopes were entertain ed of his recovery, died this morning at 6 o'clock. At 3 o'clock his remains were taken on the Bessemer and Birmingham dummy to Birmingham, from which place they were to be shipped to Huntsville, where the funeral will take place tomor- row morning.

KID M'PARTLAND
Awarded Well-Earned Decision Over
 Jack Daly at New York.

New York, August 29.-Kid Mcfarland. of this city, got a well-earned decision over Jack Daly, of Wilmington, Del. after fight ing twenty-five clean rounds before the Greater New York Athletic club tonight. The last time these two met Daily got the decision on a foul in the seventeenth round, at the Lenox Athletic club, and since that time McPartland has always claimed that he had Daly whipped then. He insisted that on their next meeting he would demon strate his superiority over the Delaware man, and he did this very effectively when the opportunity presented itself tonight. Both men were in splendid form, and show ed that they had trained carefully when they stripped in the ring. The bout was devoid of foul work, and was one of the cleanest and cleverest exhibitions ever given here.

A Card of Thanks

Mrs. Joseph Haylon, Mrs. M. Haylon and family and MT. and Mrs. James Dono- van and family desire to express the.r deep gratitude to their numberless friends for their kind attention and sympathetic assistance in their late bereavement To those friends whose devoted attention was so unstintedly given our highest hope, earnest prayer, is that God, in His infinite mercy, may protect you and yours and spare them from such bereavement. The unselhsh devotion of our friends to us in our hour of trial makes us lastingly in- debted to them in such a manner that we can never forget them nor theirs. When the heavy hand of death is outstretched to them may they, too, find like generous and noble-hearted friends whose sympathetic devotion will, in manner, tighten the burden of their sorrow.

Addison Porter, private secretary to President Mckinley asking that an audi ence be arranged with the president for the Birmingham delegation.

THE HOLLAND.
This Wonderful Submarine Boat and Its
Work.

There is a general belief that an
effective underwater warship would
have the above-water ship at its mercy.
and we think the belief is well founded.
OF all naval devices that nave been
made the object of painstaking inven-
ton, there is probably none whose his
tory at once dates back so far and in
cludes SO many repeated and heart
breaking failures We say this with
the knowledge that submarine boats
have been built which have contained
many of the elements Indispensable to
success. Unfortunately, in most cases
there have been defects which ulti-
mately relegated the device to the rub
Dish heap. The reason for this is not
far to seek. Submarine navigation and
warfare are in the nature OF things 50
difficult, are beset with so many con-
tingencies. that the ships in which they
are carried on must be marVels OF IN
eenuity and constructive skill ana must
meet a number of eXactlng require
ments which never trouble the de-
signer of a ship of the ordinary type
The Holland boat is the last of several
that have been built by the inventor
during the past 20 years. 1t embodles
the results of a wide experience, and its
trials Indicate that the type contains all
the elements Of success. The larger
boat the Plunger, now completing at
Washington, will have speed, great
offensive power. and wide radius OF
action 1t will be capable of joining a
fleet. cruising with it. and forming part
of the line of battle.
1t is scarcely necessary TO point out
the deadly execution which could be
wrought by such a vessel not merely
at night, but in an open battle by day
upon the high seas. IT the ordinary

efficient maritime protection by prac-
Using imaginary bombardmentS and
contributions on various cities. These
proceedings raised a storm of vigorous
protest, on the ground that they might
be cited as giving implied sanction to
similar action by an enemy. This was
met by naval officers of authority part
ly on the ground that such an attack
was to he expected in view Of foreign
naval opinion,and partly on the ground
that such attack would be legitimate

Thus it will be seen that the tenden-
CIV of modern action and opinion has
been away from the theory of the case.
To cite the late DR.. Freeman Snow in
his lectures to the students OF the
Naval War college: notwithstanding
all arguments against il ON the ground
of humanity, especially from the writ
ers of nations most likely to be affected.
it is probable that such eXactions of

times in land warfare There is little
doubt that, despite the signature OF her
delegate to the report of the confer

In support Of this act she could quote
the historical position of the United
States. which took no part in the Brus-
sells conference, and which. through
Secretary of State Marcy. held that the
bombardment of GreytoWn was sus-
tainable by international law. and
through Attorney General Stanbery
