SHOWING
Many Small Unimportant Towns on the Southern Shores Growing Into the Greatest Ore Receiving Points in the World-A Wonder ful Increase in the Volume All lines of Lake Commerce.

Washington, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD.- The great water transportation route which stretches from Buffalo to Chi cago and Duluth is sharing in the pros perity and activity which characterize every branch of business in the United States today. The monthly statement of lake commerce prepared by the bureau of statistics shows thah during September 5,957 vessels entered the q principal ports of the great lakes and from the opening of the navigation ssa- son up to October 1, the vessel en- frances aggregated 2S,03s. Chicago leads the List of ports, 1,O2s vessels having entered her harbor during Sep- tember,. and 5,761 during the season. The ports of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Milwaukee each, however, show a rec ord in excess of 2,O0O vessels for the season, and at the ports of Detroit, Duluth and Toledo the arrivals have ranged from 1000 to 1,50O.
 A considerable portion of the general public seems to have gained the i'm pression that the traffic of the great lakes is confined to the transportation
 
 coal, breadstuffs, and lumber Ina. this Is far from being the case could nJt be more conclusively proven than by citing the fact that in September 395,7 767 tons of unclassffied freight were moved, and the total movement for the season thus far aggregates g. 3S6,S3S tons. Every prominent port on the lakes is represented in this total
 ctr-ilx in Inc ', region has had it's effect upon lake shipments would seem tJ be proved by a comparison of the figures for Au- gust and September. During Au- gust there were transported via the in- land waterway 516, 763 tons of anthra- cite coal, whereas in September the shipments fell off to 257, ,7S7 tons Ia soft coal there is a falling off of from 661, ,S64 tons in August to 467, ,457 tons in September. For the season to October l, the total movement was 1,S139 97g tons of hard coal and 2,S65 1928 tons of sott coal.
 The recent organization in the great lake district of a new transportation company which has placed orders for new boats designed especially to carry the products of the Calumet and Hecia copper mine seems to call attention to the volume of this traffic already talk ing the water route. During Septem- Der there were shipped by boat r .029 tons of copper, and for the season to October l, the total movement is 113,695 tons. Of the latter amount, S1, ,Ss9 tons or more than two-thirds of the total. was received at Buffalo, whereas the heaviest shipping record is that of West Superior, which during the sea- son has sent out 56,939 tons.
 The movement of breadstuffs is not. of course, so interesting as it will prove when compared with the movement by rail. for which figures will be avail able at the end of the calendar year: nevertheless the statement of this phase of the water-borne commerce is significant in many ways. The receipts of breadstuffs at the principal ports have been as follows:

Season 1900

The bureau of statistics compilation dlsclOses many unique characteristics of the commerce of the great lakes. For instance. In the case of Conneaut, O., which Andrew Carnegie has de- clared will one day be the greatest ore unloading port in the world. the 35S vessels which have entered the harbOr this season have brought 1,74S, ,255 tons of iron ore, or a greater quantity than
 was discharged at any other port, with two exceptions. One of these ex- captions is the port of Ashtabula, also on Lake Erie. Ashtabula will this sea- son rank as the greatest ore-receiving port in America, having received up to October 1, a total of 2,933,647 tons.
 The lake lumber trade, in which there was such demoralization last year, ap- pears to be making a very favorable showing this season. For the month of September the aggregate cargoeS trans ported amounted to 455, 1926, 900 feet. and for the season up to October 1, 1,427,- 900, 900 meet. Duluth ranks as the great est lumber shipping port, having sent out 77,071, 900 feet during the season. Chicago heads the list of receiving ports, S7S,546,000 feet having been un- loaded at her wharves. Cleveland is a pretty close second, with a record of 339, 900 feet for the season.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Jan 1T.-One OF
the most remarkable life insurance frauds
in years has been partially cleared up by
the detectives. They have been working
for weeks 20 unravel the mystery OF the
Wolfsohn life insurance case at Los
Angeles. They have settled pretty con-
clusively that Wolfsohn actually com

receive $4,000 premium from the New
York Life Insurance Company. They have
also established the fact that a gang OF
crooks in Chicago devised the scheme Of
producing a spurious Wolfsohn. Their
game was 10 produce a WOlfsOhn. have
him identified in Los Angeles. and then
get the 50 800 which the company agreed
10 pay for proof that he was alive.
Their man was identified by the insur-
ance agent and other people. but the
woman WOlfsohn was 70 marry declared
the fellow a fraud and he stepped out sud

gan an investigation. and through hand
writing experts have settled the fact that
the man found in Chicago and claiming 20
be Wolfsohn. is a fraud. They had refused
10 pay the money 10 the Chicago gang, and
are now trying TO locate the swindlers.
II is probable that the courts viii be

SIMPSONS PLAN REJECTED.
The Naval Experts Decide the Battle
ship Turret Question.


The subject of turrets for the three new
battleships, which has provoked prolonged
discussion IN the Board Of Bureau Chiefs
mas been finally settled in favor OF the
prevailing type used on war vessels. ex-
cept tire Kearsarge and Kentucky, which
are still regarded as an experiment by the
ordnance officers OF the navy.
This Is the most important conclusion
yet reached in the consideration OF plans
for these vessels, and now that it is quite
certain the battery viii not excite serious
differences OF opinion, the department eX-
poets 70 dispose OF the main features, so
far as design is concerned, in the next few
weeks.
The decision to abandon the plan which
was so vigorously urged by certain officers
for superimpOsed turrets is regarded as a
O'Neil. the present chief of the Ordnance
Bureau. both OF whom have been warm
advocates Of the system.
These turTsts are unlike any ever placed
on battleships, except the two sister yes
sells built at Newport News. and as yet
have never been tried at target practice.
The system varies so widely from that gen
orally employed by all navies in the ar
rangement and installation Of the heaviest

parture should have been made on costly
battleships. and especially that serious
consideration should be later given be ap-

ships until its success had first been

though in destroying manuscript which
did not belong to him he certainly ex-
hibited disregard Of the rights of
property which few men would dare to
show. In his daily life. however, he is
very real. His sister, a sensitive, high
spirited girl. is a sort OF background against
which the Gusleys stand in bold relief.
She finds. for example. shortly after her
advent into the family that she must
not take her own letters out of the family
mail bag. but must wait until the head
Of the family distributes them at break
fast. An infraction OF this unwritten law
is regarded as an evidence Of serious disre-
gard for the customs of the household.
The fact that she cannot do her work ex-
eept under certain specified conditions is
regarded by her brother and his wife as
combination Of laziness and whimsical
selhshness. Their conversation is largely
Favored with the gossip Of the neighbor-
hood. and their ambition is to receive So
clal recognition from the county people
and the dignitaries Of the Church. The
curate at intervals summons his sister into
his study and reads to her articles which
he has written. ostensibly for her criti-
cism, but really for her approval II she
ventures to dissent from any OF his opin-
ions he is much injured. and enters into
long argument to prove that he is right.
This sort of thing is inexpressibly petty.

Just this lack Of comprehension of the
rights Of their neighbors and the ordinary
laws OF politeness. The type is offensive
wherever it is found. but il is rather more
offensive when found under the cloak Of re-
iigion, because such a person is likely to
use his Office or his opinions as a shield
and demand special privileges on account
Of them. The customs Of his household are
regarded as inyiolable, because they are
Favored with piety. and the nOncOnfOrmist
finds them just so much the more dis
tasteful on that account II failure to ap-

looks OF cold disapprOyal and pensive in

No News From south Africn.

There IS a general belief in London to-
day that the War Office has news and good
news from Natal. II is stated that an
aspect OF suppressed citation characterizes
the officials OF that institution. as we'll as
those at army headquarters. But. outside
Of The inner government circle. no one is
permitted 10 know a word Of what is going
on. All the critics appear to have settled
down 20 the view that the Springfield
movement was meant to be the main at
tack on Jouberts position. and that the
improbable story that Sir Charles Warren
had meandered off to Weeuen was given
out for the benefit Of the Beers.
Heavy firing has been heard at Frere
and CheveIey from the direction OF Spring
field. and a Cablcgram from Durham this
morning contains the bare announcement
that a general engagement is on. We are
also advised that the losses on both sides
already have been heavy, which would 20
10 show that there must have been hard
fighting during the six days that have
elapsed since Butler seized Poigieter's
Drift. The determination of the British
Government to suppress all news until
something decisive has been accomplished
Is evident, and we may not be able to
CLEAN a line Of the battle story until It is
over and Ladysmith is relieved or Butler
finally repulsed. As we have remarked.
there are strong reasons for thinking that
the thanking movement has been at least
preliminarily successful. but there is no
question that the Beers are making
stubborn fight, nor that, even il they are
defeated. they will make Great Britain pay
