DOWIE TO MAKE LACE.
Faith Healer Confers with Gnge
About Importing Machines
and LabOrers.

John Alexander Dowie, the faith
healer of Chicago and the general
overseer of the Christian Catholic
church" was at the treasury depart
ment at Washington the other day
and had conference with Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Taylor.
He stated that he had recently pur-
chased at Nottingham, England five
machines for making Nottingham lace,
as we'll as other necessary machinery,
which he would set up near Waukegan,
Ill. He also had engaged under con-
tract 20 experts in lacemaking, and his
purpose in seeing the treasury officials
was to learn whether there would be
legal objection to their coming into the
country.
Dowie was informed by the secretary
that the contract labor laws of the
United States mace specific exceptions
in the cases of workmen to be en-
ployed in an industry new to the coun-
try, and, as lacemaking undoubtedly
was new industry here, there could be
no objection to his bringing over the
men he had engaged. DR.. Dowie stated
That he had 10000 acres of land near
Waukegan where his plant would be
established for the benefit of the
members OF his church community,
and he expected TO make the enterprise
profitable

Consul General Guenther, at Frank

with the German government The,

The statement that Krupp alone can

Foord in North American Review. or

the curse Of China and the root of all
the evils from which It is suffering.

FIRST OUT OF GALVESTON.
Perilous Journey OF Four Men From
the City to the Mainland.

perilous Journey of Four Men From
the City to the Mainland.
Colonel W. l.. Moody's steam yacht
Pherabe was the first vessel to leave
Galveston after the storm says a
Houston dispatch to the New York
Sun. 1t carried n party of volunteers
who risked their lives to inform the
outside world of the extent of the suf-
fering and devastation caused by the
storm. Lieutenant j. j. Delaney of
the Southern Pacific railroad, Richard
Spillane, special correspondent of the
Galveston Tribune, and Il. l.. Porch,
special correspondent of the Houston
Post, and Lawrence V. Elder, superin-
tendent of the Galveston Cotton mills,
formed the party.
Mr.. Elder acted as the engineer and
the three other men served as stokers.
That they succeeded in reaching land
is considered miraculous by every one
of the four who made the trip. Squall
after squall struck them and the waves
seemed as high as they were when the
storm was raging at its highest. To
add to the danger the bay was filled
with floating wreckage of all kinds,
and any one of the big logs that form
ed part of 1t would have been sufficient
to sink the Pherabe had it collided
with her at the proper angle. Lieuten-
ant Delaney had this to say about the
trip:
81 have been an officer in the Japa-
nese navy and commanded one of their
warships in the battle of the Yalu rly-
er! Afterward | was in the United
States navy as lieutenant. In the
light of all my years of experience at
sea, If any one had told me that boat
of any description could stand the aw-
full buffeting that we went through, 1
would have laughed at him and would
have said that he did not know what
he was talking about.
"One minute we were pointing the
prov of the boat straight up to the
skies. The next we We're plunging
straight downward, seemingly in
way that presaged sure death. When
we got in sight of Texas City, Elder
refused to try to go farther and said
that we would have to try to make
landing there, as the boat could not
live any longer under such conditions.
We agreed with him and tried to put
in at Texas City. We broke through an
almost solid lot of wreckage, and then,
when the boat could go no farther,
we got to shore by climbing and walk
ing over the wreckage for 70 or 100
feet"
After the party got to the shore they
managed to hire a buggy, and they
went over the flooded prairie to La
Marque. Just below La Marque they
report that they encountered wreck
ing train of the Galveston, Houston
and Henderson railroad. They signaled
and shouted to the conductor in the
hope that he would take them aboard
and carry them through to Houston,
but the conductor signaled to the en-
gineer, and the train pulled out, leav-
ing them alone on the prairie. They
finally reached Houston by a hand car
which they found at La Marque.

TO BE ExHAUsTIvELY TESTED.
submarine Boat Holland TO De Man
euvered at Newport Torpedo
station.


To definitely determine the value Of
the submarine boat Holland for naval
purposes the navy department has d.
rected that she be taken TO the torpedo
station at Newport, where she will bv-
exhaustively tested.
The determination of the depart
ment to send the Holland to Newport is
based upon recommendation made by
Rear-Admiral Charles O'Neil, chief of
ordnance. Rear-Admiral O'Neil de-
sires to ascertain what, if any, defects
exist in the vessel, what her advantages
are, and whether it will be advisab BILE
for the government to continue the
construction of such a craft.
The torpedo station at Newport is
said to be an ideal place for the expert
ments. Officers and men al that point
can be detailed to man the craft. There
are tugs available to keep close watch
of the strange boat and rescue her
crew in case anything of an untoward
character happens. Rear Admiral
O'Neil has given very careful instruc-
tions to Commander n. l.. Mason, in
spector in charge of the torpedo sta
ton.
The trial of the vessel will be made
at first under the supervision of'an ex-
pert designated by the Holland COM
pany AS soon as the officers and men
who volunteer to serve on the Holland
are sufficiently well-acquainted with
the craft the expert will not be re-
quired, and the test under service con-
ditions will then be made.
