CLEVELAND, O., July 9.-Three ves-
sells went ashore last night during the
gale on Lake Erie. They were the
schooners George H. Warrington and
Sophia Mlnch, and the steamer seQuin.
The Warrington and Minch were in
tow Of the steamer John N. Glidden.
They left Astabula early in the evening
on their way up the, lake. Several miles
WEST Of llsiItaB ifai the 3liddeh cut ioosG
from the two schooners and they were
permitted to drift ashore.
II was after midnight before the life
saving crew got to the wrecks. The
Grew Of the Mlnch, consisting Of six
men and one woman, was taken on.
The crew of the Warrington remained
on board during the night.
The Sequin tried to brave the storm,
but her wheel broke and she drifted on
the beach in the trough Of the sea, her
crew remaining on board. The three
boats are hard aground, but 1t Is be-
lleved the Sequin and Warrington can
be saved without much trouble and
possibly the Minch can be pulled on al
so. The sea moderated to-day.

The Extent OF tn. philippines.

The mere statement that the Philippine
group comprises over 1900 separate islands,
naval officers say, gives little idea of the
Importance of the group, because on an or
binary map not hundredth part of them
are shown, and the largest islands look
like mere specks in waste of ocean. The
fact is, however, that LuZon at the north
and Mindanao at the south of the archi-
pelago are each of them 800 miles long, or
longer than from Washington to New
York, and the whole archipelago from
north TO south covers stretch as long as
from Chicago to New York, with the
islands in plain sight of each other all the
way. There are 10 islands in the group
that are so miles or more in greatest
length, and 20 others that are 10 miles or
more across. So far from being uninhab-
tied wastes, there are large number of
towns of 10000 inhabitants and upward
Many of these places, almost all of them
coast cities, must be occupied by land or
naval forces, or both, before this govern
ment can guarantee anything like safety to
the large commercial interests involved.
One of the first things that the war depart
ment aims to do is to secure control of the
cable and telegraph lines, of which there
are roughly 1900 or 2000 miles in the ar
chipelago. 1t has been frequently stated
that there is no cable communication be-
tween Manila and Iloilo, but there is
cable line the whole distance, the property
of British company, which has been
forced TO abandon its property owing to
the instruction.

A Deserted city OF Marble.

In the county of Moth Hastings, Ont.
is deserted town called Bridgewater,
which is built entirely of marble. About
twenty-five years ago a farmers wife was
searching in the woods for a pig that had
strayed away. In particularly dense part
of the forest she found cold spring of
crystal water, and stopped to drink from it.
AS she did so, she slipped on round stone
and fell into the water. Attracted by the
peculiar color of the stone, she fished il out
and took it home. Investigation showed
it to be twenty-pound nugget of almost
pure gold
Within six months the wilderness had
blossomed into the thriving town of Bridge
water with five thousand inhabitants.
There were old Forty-niners from the Pa
cifc slope, amateurs from Great Britain
and the United States, prospectors from
every field. Shafts and tunnels were driv-
EN- by the hundreds. In the sinking of
shaft mile south of the town, on claim
of b. Flint, of Belleville, who is now a
member of the Canadian senate, a vein of
white marble was discovered. At the sug-
gestion of Flint, who wanted little or moth
ing for the material, the town of Bridge
water was built of solid marble. 1t has
even to this day a courthouse, school,
church, hotel, stores and private dwellings
constructed wholly of this material.
While the town was booming the entire
country round was prospected. Some of
the shafts and tunnels were driven more
than hundred feet in depth, but, remark
able as 1t may seem, there was never enough
gold found to pay the cost of single mine
in the district.
The place where the original nugget was
found was chrstened "Aladdin's Cave"
and the land in its vicinitylsod at fabulous
prices. One farmer whose farm adjoined
the cave sold five acres to an English synd-
cate for 100000 cash. The syndicate
spent another 100000 in developing the
claim, but never obtained an ounce of free
gold. An agedl Irishman at Bridgewater,
Patrick Keough, received an offer of Sl2j,-
600 for his farm, which consisted of hun
dred acres of rock-piled, barren land. He
refused the offer, holding out for 10000
which he never got. Today any one could
buy the property for 81 an acre.
Within couple of years it became APP
parent to all that mining in Bridgewater
would never pay, and the prospectors and
citizens departed, leaving the marble town
to settle down to a futureless desolation.-

Russla as a World Power.

Charles A. Conant, the ellknown sta
'tistician, writes under the title, Russia as
a World Power" in the February North
American. He concludes that ten years of
such economic development as Russia has
witnessed in the ten years just passed will
make her enormously stronger than she
is today; thirty years will make her
almost irresistible According to cal
culatlons made in 1895, Russia rank
ed fourth, with $1,000, 100000 of negotia-
bic wealth, but this amount has greatly in
creased within three years. With a gov
eminent controlled by the single purpose
of promoting national advancement, with
the best economic knowledge at her com
mand, with almost unlimited natural re-
sources, and with an equipment of produc-
ing plant and saved capital sufficient to
permit constantly accelerating progress,
Russia promises in another generation to
be the great competitor of the Anglo-Saxon
race for the commercial and military su.
premacy of the world.

Ka,ser,s Message TO Mrs. IS,p,,ns.

Emperor Williams message to Mrs. Rud-
yard Kipling has naturally attracted great
attention, particularly the reference to
tour common race" The first impression
in London was that Emperor William
thought Kipling was an American, espec-
tally as the German papers referred to the
american author Kiplng," but this i'm
preston is erroneous. The Emperor was
a reader of Kiplings writings long before
the author settled in America His
majesty, however, knew that Kipling's
wife was an American, and it is thought
he intended to include America when he
spoke of the common race" 1.-THE
Spectator" says: "The Emperor is evil
IDENTIFY willing to substitute the Teuton for
the ARglo-SaXon as the ruling race of the
future. He did not venture to call Kipling
an American, but, being anxious that his
telegram should be taken as compliment
to Americans rather than Englishmen, the
German journals received hint to de-
scribe him as an American at least. As
the Germans read Kipling and know his
pedigree as well as we do, that is the only
explanation we can offer for their other
wise inexplicabe unanimity in blunder-
ing"
"The Spectator" in another article re.
marks: at must be a singular experience,
even for Kpling, to wake up from Sc
rious illness and find that two great peo-
piles have been interested in his fate, that
an Emperor has grieved for him in words

and that his value TO publishers has in.
