WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-Senator Bur-
rows of Michigan, in an interview with
Post reporter, said:
1T is my Judgment that if the war
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation will be to the disad-
vantage of the Republican party. The
only hope of the party, and the country,
I might add, is in a speedy change of
conditions in the Philippines. If 1
could have had my own way we would
have simply taken coaling station or
base Of supplies in the island of Lu-
zon, we would not have paid penny to
Spain and we would have had our foot
hold in the East without the sacrifice Of
life and money"
''How would you meet the present
situation:"
1.-THE president is acting wisely, in
my opinion, in endeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to assist
General Otis. Victory for the Repub.
lican party next year will be made
more certain by the success of our arms
this year."

Cuts It in Two.
NEW York, Aug. "A collision oc-
Cured between the ferryboat New
York Of the Williamsburg line, and the
United States gunboat Dolphin. The
bow Of the gunboat cut through the
ferry boat into the engine room, break
ing the main shaft and damaging con-
siderable machinery. The gunboat's
bow was bent and several feet of the
rail torn away. The New York was
in the center of the river, when the
Dolphin, which was coming up stream,
signalled that she would cross her bows.
The New York's engines were stopped
but the strong current carried her di-
rectly in the path of the Dolphin and
gunboat's bow struck the ferryboat just
ahead of the paddlebox. The ferryboat
with the aid of tugs reached the slip at
Broadway, Williamsburg. The gun.
boat proceeded up the river. Secretary
of the Navy Long was aboard the Dol
phin. That the injuries to the Dolphin
were trifing is evidenced by the fact
that she continued on her way up the
river and passed City Island at $40 a. M.

high grass out OF sight and returned
the fire.
Lieutenant Love, who was walking

CHANGED TO NOV. l.
Sale of Cass Lake J.,,:is Will Not Occur
as First. AaIouncei.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. - Secretary
Hitchcock has announced that the sale
of Cass Lake lands in Minnesota will
begin Nov. 1 next. Land Commits
sioner Hermann's first recommendation
has been for Oct. Is, and it was so an
nounced, but the later date is deemed
wisest. The lands will be offered in 40
acre tracts, except in cases of fractions
containing either more or less than 30
acres, which will be sold entire. and i'll
no event will any tract be sold for less
than its appraised value. The residue
of these lands remaining unsold after
the public Offering will thereafter be
subject to private sale.

prompt measures will be taken by
this department to eject settlers who
may trespass upon agricultural lands
within the Chippewa reservations in
Minnesota" This statement was.nade
by Secretary Hitchcock of the interior
department, and was called forth by
advices from Inspector Nessler, who
notified the department. that he
had information that 'sooners" Were
about to settle upon agricultural
lands, under the impression that
these lands are about to be opened for
settlement. The secretary also spoke
of the statements in the papers received
from Minnesota, to the effect that q
large party is being organized at Crooks
ton for the purpose named. 1.-The inn
preston in some quarters that the agri-
cultural lands OH the Indian reservations
i'll Minnesota are about to be opened, is
erroneous. These lands will be opened at
the proper time in accordance with law.
but that time has not yet arrived" said
the secretary. 1t is plain from Secre-
tary Hitchcocli's statement that prompt
and decisive measures will be adopted
in case settlers take possession Of any Of
the Indian lands with IL view to secur-
ing homesteads. The secretary wants
it understood that the sale of Cass Lake
lands includes only the north half of sec.

methods of expenditures, which would
imply the wrong or careless use of

is false. So far as the conduct Of the
service was concerned no person with
any knowledge of the facts can ever
charge truthfully and no one can ever
show that a dollar was misappropri.

YAQUIS ON THE WARPATH.
Doubt Of the Fact Dispelled by Recent

LVcntS.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. "A dispatch to
The Globe Democrat from Ortiz, Mex,
says: Any doubt that the Yaquis are
OH the warpath in earnest was dispelled
when news reached here that several
Americans and Mexicans had been
killed and pueblas or towns in the va
qui river valley, east and southeast of
this station, burned. The courier who
came in with the news of the slaughter
declares that he saw desperate fight at
point 40 miles southeast of Ortiz, and
that he has positive evidence that J. F.
Re1nley, a merchant of Hermosillo, and
A. Miller, a photographer in his en-
ploy, were among the killed.
Renley was one of the best known
Americans in Sonora. The inhabitants
of the towns in and near the Yaqui val
ley are in a state Of terror.
General Torres, commander of the
first military zone, which includes So
nora, Sinaloa, and Lower California,
who was in the field with the Twelfth
regiment, is reported among the slain.
No information is obtainable as yet of
the number Of fighting Indians under
arms, but if the outbreak is of the pro-
portions of the war ended in 1897, the
number may be placed at between
three and four thousand.
This outbreak is surprise to the
state and army officials. 1t is impossi-
BILE to secure accurate figures as to the
total number killed to date, but the
estimate at so on each side is not con.
sidered excessive.

people of Georgia to join hands and put
an end to mob violence in the state.
The governor believes that the only
way to restore a condition Of peace and
tranquility and to bring an end to the
lawlessness that has been manifested in
different parts of the state is for the
people to uphold the courts. aid them in
bringing to speedy justice all criminals.
and by the strong force Of a virile pub

ENGINEERING PROBLEMS.

Several serioas Ones Presented in the
Proposed seaboard Ship Canal.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.-Major c.
w. Raymond, chief engineer Of the
United States army for this city, has
left for Sault Ste Marie, Mich, to at
tend meeting of the deep waterway
commission, Of which he is president.
The commission, which has held anum-
Der of meetings, will discuss and COM
pare the final surveys made for the con-
templated route of the waterway from
the Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean.
In addition to Major Raymond the COM
mission consists of Alfred Noble, the
builder of the first lock of the Sault
Ste. Marie canal, and a member of the
recent Nicaragua canal commission and
George H. Wisner of Detroit. The
commission will inspect the Sault Ste.
Marie canal and will then go to Detroit.
Fifty engineers are at the latter place
tabulating and arranging results and it
is expected the final report Of the COM
mission will be presented early in next
year. Major Raymond approximates
the cost of the proposed waterway at
about $500, 100000. Before leaving he
said:
''The route to be followed will be
through the Sault Ste. Marie canal to
Lake Huron, through the river to Lake
Erie, thence by ship canal around Nj
agara to Lake Ontario.
"The question confronting the COM
mission at this point is whether or not
the Welland canal, which is Canadian
property, should be utilized by deepen
ing, as it is totally inadequate for use
for ships Of deep draught, or new
canal built in American territory. This
may be found the more desirable for in
ternational reasons.
IA depth of 30 feet throughout the
waterway would be sufficient to carry
any vessel to the ocean. The entire
scheme contemplates some very serious
engineering problems, particularly as
to the systems of locks. From the point
above mentioned two canal routes are
suggested, both using the Hudson river.
One is known as the Oswego and Mo-
hawk route and the other as the Cham.
pianist. Lawrence route. The Oswego.
proceed along the Mohawk valley, tax.
ing in such cities at Syracuse, Rome
and Utica, going thence to Troy, where
it will connect with the Hudson, neces.
stating a deepening of the Hudson.
This route will practically obliterate
the Erie canal, though it will take up
some of its waterways.
"The Champlain-St. Lawrence route
has been surveyed from Lake Frances,
which is an arm of the St. Lawrence
river, diametrically across to the river
which flows into Lake Champlain and
through this lake by means of a canal
to Troy
In addition to the consideration of the
above suggestions, the commission will
discuss the question of an increase OF
the locks of the Sault Ste. Marie canal.

WOULD SETTLE THE BOUNDARY
A Mining Expert Thinks the Alaska Line
Is Well Defined.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-John Zach
ert, mining expert of this city, claims
to possess information which he believes
will have an important bearing on the
Alaskan boundary dispute. Zachert
declares that the old Russian boundary
is defined by monuments placed at
short intervals, and that enclosed in
each is chart of the Russian posses
sions. He is of the belief that the du-
plicates of the charts are on file at St.
Petersburg. Zachert says that an expe-
dition would have little trouble in find.
ing and following up this boundary line
of monuments, and that the charts
would prove Of inestimable value i'll

try and Canada.
