SEAGIRT RIFLE RANGES.
Capt. W. B. Martin and Corporal Casey
 Tied.

New York, August 31.-From early morning until after sundown today the rifle and revolver marksmen were busy on the Seagirt ranges. Several contests were decided, the principal one being that for the Wimbledon cup, for which Amer lean citizens only were eligible to com pete. Each man had 30 shorts at 1000 yards and those using the military Krag- -Jorgensen rife were allowed eight points on the twenty-ninth round. Cap tain w B. Martin of the Second Regi- ment of Trenton, N J., and Corporal Casey of the Seventy First Regiment of New York were tied at scores of 116 each Casey only made two on his last shot and Martin scored four, making total of 119 out a possible 150.
 Both men shot the military weapon and IS points were added to their scores. Captain Martin won the match with total of 137 points, Casey had 135 and Sergeant Coy of the Twelfth Regiment of New York came net with 134, includ ing an allowance of IS points. William D. Foulke of Philadelphia, who won this event last year, shot sporting rife and had no allowance. His net score was 122.
 Six teams of five men each took part in the revolver team match which was won by the representatives of Light Battery A of Boston. Their total score was 596 points.

BRlTIsH-PAclFIc CABLE.
Soundings Taken Every Ten Miles By
 the Steamer Britannia.

Washington, August 31.-An interesting report, showing the work on the British Pacific cable-to be the longest one ever laid-has been received at the State De- partment from Consular Agent Robinson at Norfolk Island under date of June 20.
 The report states that on the passage across to Norfolk Island from Brisbane, Australia, soundings were taken every ten miles by the British cable steamer Britannia, which is being used to mark out track for the cable. About 100 miles From the coast an obstruction was met with In the shape of a range of submarine mountains lying directly in the track, and a deviation to the south had to be made in order to clear it. The greatest depth obtained was 2S00 fathoms and the most shallow 237 fathoms. It has been decided to land the cable at Anzon Bay on the west side of Norfolk Island. Norfolk Isl- and will be one of the most important stations of the cable route, as all mes sages to Australia and New Zealand will converge there to be repeated

BURNS AND SCHWAB MAY
 YET ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING

Pittsburg. August 31.-It is learned to- night from reliable authority in spite of the great secrecy maintained by Messrs. Burns and Shaffer concerning the tele- phonic conversation between President Schwab and President Burns that some thing decisive may result. It Is said that President Schwab declined to have any conferences with President Shaffer on the ground that he no longer represents any of the men employed by the corpora ton. All union men have left the employ of the company. If these steel workers return at once and the mills resume oper- ations in full, the whole matter Is said to assume a different aspect and dis cussion between the officials of the trust and the Amalgamated officials can take place.
 Immediately after this conversation MT. Burns went to President Shaffer and urged him to call a meeting of the ex- ecutive board of the organization at once so that the men could be ordered to work at the earliest moment possible. It is understood that this order will be issued not later than Tuesday and would have been issued before then had 1t been pos sibIe to get the executive committee of the organization together.
 President Shaffer, while declining to discuss the matter, remained at his of flee until a late hour tonight and was much occupied. Appearances indicated that he was preparing for some important move but nothing could be learned from him on the actual situation.

BOSSIE FRANCIS
 STILL AT LARGE
He Has Succeeded So Far in EIuding His Excited
 Pursuers

Kansas City, Mo, August 31.-The man hunt that has been in progress in John son and, Cass counties, Missouri, since last Tuesday evening, when Miss Mary Henderson was found murdered at the home of her brother-in-law, Chapman Hyatt, and the negro hired man, Bessie Francis, the supposed murderer, missing, has not been successful. After fruitless beating of the bush, ransacking of negro cabins and searching of coal mines, the hundred of volunteers yesterday were ready to give up and even the blood hounds refused to follow the new trails. Last night, however, fresh interest was aroused by the discovery of a negro skulking in the woods near Straussburg. A party of men set out in pursuit. but tho negro vanished mysteriously.
 Tonight all the towns along the Mis- souri Pacific were intensely excited by a report that Francis had been captured near Pleasant Hill; that the law officers were bent on taking him to Warrensburg jail ,but that the men who had hunted him would carry him to the Hyatt farm and hang or burn him. A negro answer ing the description of Francis was pur- sued tonight by a posse in the neighbor- hood of the Rising Star schoolhouse be- tween Pleasant Hill and Straussburg. So sure were the hunters of getting their man that one went to Pleasant Hill with information that the negro was in sight fleeing afoot and would be taken in few minutes. From this grew the rumor that Francis was actually prisoner. Later 1t was learned that the fugitive escaped. Rain is falling, the night is dark and the chase ss at standstill again.

Crews Are Being Entertained Royalty by the English
 Officers Ashore
A SCENE AT SOUTHAMPTON
Mayor and Corporation In Gold Ernine and Purple Came Alongside the Dixie-Great Britain Needs
 Submarine Boats.

London, August Sl--Seldom have so many American war vessels appeared simultaneously in English ports. Scarcely had the Hartford and Essex arrived in the Thames before the Chicago excited the curiosity of Porthmouth citizens Then the Dixie arrived at Southampton, and now the Buffalos crew are being en- tertained at Greenock. The Hartford and Essex have since left but the others re- main They are all receiving the most hospitable treatment, but the English of f1cers regret that the vessels could not all come to one port so that the welcome could have been organized. The officers are also puzzled by the fact that the Eu- ropean squadron at present consists of the lonely Chicago and that Rear Admiral Cromwell has no control over or even communication with other American ves- selh in England.
 The arrival of the Mayor and corpora ton of Southampton in full regalia along side of the Dixie created intense interest among the western lads who are learning to be tackles. Such an array of gold er- mine and purple was something new to them and the commingling of the visi- tors with all the vigor of a favorable first impression. With a laudable desire to end the dullness of the peers here dur ing London's empty season one daily has been endeavoring to get up a scare on the subject of Great Brtain's overwhel- ming deficiency in submarine boats
 Crimes of the Admiralty.
 Among the alleged crimes it attributes to the admiralty is that of allowing the United States to secure this week sub marine invention which the admiralty de- clined even to examine and which is likely to revolutionize that method of warfare. A representative of the Asso- ciated Press has ascertained that the in- vention in question was examined and declined oy the admiralty: was submit ed to the United States naval attache, Com Inander Clover, and was forwarded by him in the usual routine to Washington. The indorsement accompanying it, and the opinion of other naval experts ren- ders 1t highly improbable that the inven- tion will receive any more consideration from the navy department at Washing ton than the British admiralty, which, by the way, are busily engaged in getting their Holland boats ready for launching.
 They have called for volunteers to man the submarine boats. but only a few ad venturous spirits have responded, and most all of these have been rejected on account of the inability to pass the severe medical tests imposed in this class of the service. It is quite probable that five Holland boats will be ready for launching before their crews are secured.
 The reports that the Vickers- Maxim Company had made several secret and important additions to Hollands inven- ton are apparently untrue.

Dead Will Number se.

St. Paul, Minn., August sl.-Advices re- ceived at the Great Northern headquar- ters in this city place the total number of the dead as the result of the wreck at Essex, Montana, at thirty-six- The mum Der injured was thirteen and at least three are fatally hurt.
 The remains of the dead recovered, to- gether with the injured were taken to Kalispell and the latetr are in the hos- pitals at that place receiving medical at tendance.
 The body of Superintendent P. T. Downs was recovered late today. It was so bad ly charred that identification was only possible through articles found near the body. The body of his son is as yet un- recovered and 1t is feared that 1t was completely cremated. No list of the dead other than already given, has been received.
 The others killed were Scandinavian la borers and 1t is impossible to identify them owing to the condition in which their bodies were found.

Recent Concentration of Lib- eralistSAround Colon Seems
 to Have Disappeared
MESSAGES INTERRUPTED
All the News Emanating From the Coast Town of Accunences On the Frontier Believed To
 Be Unreliable.

Colon, Colombia, via Galveston, Au- gust 31.-ouiet prevails on the isthmus. The recent Liberal concentration in this vicinity seems to have disappeared Whatever their numbers, the Liberals are poorly armed and without leaders lack of organization for concerted action, and hence can avail themselves of no opportunities to damage the govern ment.
 Endless rumors are afloat, but the con- census of the best informed conservative opinion discredit serious hostilities or anything more than the continuation of the Liberals guerilla system of engage ment with the government forces. The Liberals are anxious to get seaport, and hence their recent approach to Bogas del Toro west of here. The gov ernment Is not bringing endorsements to the isthmus. There is about 400 men at Colon and at Panama a thousand men are available if needed.
 The general situation in Colombia Is de- visible under three heads - the isthmus revolution, the progress made throughout the rest of the country and the situation on the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian frontiers The revolution is progressing in the rest of the country with varying success. The Liberals hold various towns and districts and decline to meet the government punitive expeditions, with drawing upon their approach and return ing after their departure to engage In other and similar tactics, with occasional small engagements.
 Communication Interrupted.
 One thing is certain - all the govern ment's systems of communication are in- terrupted or delayed and are unreliable, hence it Is impossible to secure reliable news on the coast of frontier happenings.
 All the news emanating from the coast towns concerning the frontier Is unre- liable Colombia doubtless has troops on the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian from tiers, although the numbers reported are vastly exaggerated and Venezuela has no troop on the Colombian frontier. It Is difficult to draw line of distinction between the troops of one country and the revo1utionists of the other. Various indications lead to the belief that there will be no warfare between Colombia and Venezuela.
 The political revolutionists of both countries in past years, have time and time again jumped across the frontier when pressed from one side or the other and have continually used, as the necessi- ty arose, one or the other countries as the place of refuge in preparing expeditions against the established authority of the other country.
 It should be borne in mind that the frontier offers indefinite protection to Co., lombians and Venezuelans of both politi- cal parties. It has been the favorite field of operations for the revolutionists of both countries and these conditions have existed on the frontier whenever either Colombia or Venezuela has had revolu- tion on hand
