Swamps the Liners.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The good
ship Nordland, from Liverpool and
Queenstown, arrived at Philadelphia
yesterday, every inch of passenger
space on both decks taken. Prac-
tically all Of the passengers were
Scandinavians bound for the north
west.
The passengers say the transport
lines running direct to America are
experiencing the greatest rush of
emigrants since the early eighties.
Every outgoing vessel, American or
English, is crowded. The Oscar l.
of the Scandinavian-American line to
New York, is landing 1000 emigrants
each trip, and her two sister ships
will be hurried towards completion in
order to handle the traffic. 1t has
been necessary for emigrants from
Norway, Denmark and Sweden to go
to Liverpool and Southampton in or
der to get accommodation on Ameri-
can bound steamships.
The total number of Scandinavian
emigrants that landed in the United
States during the nine months ending
March, 1902, was 22,OO3, 1 1901 Of
whom came from Sweden.

Disputed Boundary Settled by the Dis.
covery.
Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 19.-Skagway
advices say the question OF the de-
struction Of an old Russian monument
in the disputed territory between
Alaska and British Yukon has been
settled. s. Weitzman, a merchant Of
Haines, arrived at Skagway with the
news that Lieutenant Owens had
found two monuments in perfect re-
pair and definitely located the place
where q third n had been destroy
ed. One of the monuments discover
ed is about ten miles above Rainy
Hollow. The other is on the Tab
keena river, SO miles from the coast.
Lieutenant Owens is now examining
the other portions Of the boundary
and will secure statements of the
Indians.
The monument destroyed was level
ed to the ground. It's destruction evil
IDENTIFY had been wrought within a few
months. Owens also found an old
stormhouse on the summit. This was
called the boundary house when the
Russians occupied the country. Walls
of the building we're falling down,
but there was every indication of oc-
cupation at one time. This estab-
fishes beyond all doubt that the Rus
SLAMS did occupy the territory now
disputed and that the boundary line,
according to the treaty, is where the
Americans claim it to be.

VETERANS UNION PROPOSES 70
GET INTO POLITICS.
TO FORM POLITICAL TRUST
Commander Dyrenforth Has a Beauti.
full Scheme for Living in
the Future.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Leading
members of the Veterans union,
which is to hold It's annual encamp.
ment in Washington in October, sim
ultaneously with that of the G. A. r.,
have declared their intention Of max
ing the organization a formidable pow
err in politics.
Properly organized, we ought to
control 100000 votes in every gen
eral election" said General S. G.
Dyrenforth, commander-in-chief Of the
union today. I'VE shall then easily
hold the balance of power between
the two, great political parties of the
day."
It is proposed to take the first step
this fall toward forming a powerful
political organization. This is to be
done, according to the plan of Gen
eral Dyrenforth and other leaders of
the union by the adoption Of an
amendment to. the unions constitu-
ton admitting to full membership the
sons and grandsons of the civil war
veterans, and admitting sons-in-law,
younger brothers and nephews as
honorary members.
General Dyrenforth issued a circu-
lar yesterday which will be sent to
each post in the United States and
distributed among the old soldiers.
The circular, OF which the following
is a part, is almost entirely devoted
to the new political plans of the un-
ion: 4
There is no use in the union vet
Grams of the war of the rebellion e
pecting gratitude from politicians of
today. We must assert ourselves
more, we must be more aggressive.
1t is futile for the veteran to live
in the past. He must take part in
the affairs of today. What we want,
with determination and with unity of
action, is strength of numbers. What
a force for the benefit of u dear
comrades we could be if we could
have even one-half of the living vet
Grams of today in our ranks, to say
nothing Of the adjunctive Wforce of
their sons and grandsons, sons-in-law,
younger brothers and nephews. We
could control almost every election
and this tremendous, silent force
would bring recognition from promi'
nent politicians, from the president
down."

sides, in consideration Of which the
company agreed TO transport Colon
bian civil and military employees, pris-
oners, mails and soldiers at special
rates. H
Violation Of Contract.
In conclusion, the high official of
the Colombian government referred
to, said that the present refusal of
the Pacific Steam Navigation com
pany to transport Colombian troops
here may be sustained by the presence
of a British warship at Buena Ven
tura, but nevertheless it is a clear vio-
lation of the contract between the
Colombian government and the steam
ship company made in good faith by
the government, which has faithfully
adhered to it's agreements.
In government circles it is claimed
that the non-arrival of r~einforcements
of troops from Buena Ventura will
prolong the revolution on the isthmus
and cause unnecessary ~bloodshed and
that consequently the government of
Colombia has ground to claim dam
ages from the Pacific Steam Naviga-
ton company. There is no doubt
that the government will bring suit
against the company.

CAN NOT IDENTIFY BODY
OF MINNIE MITCHELL.
Advanced State of Decomposition In
dicates Person Had Been Dead
Long Period.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Interest in the
Bartholin-Mitchell murder mystery to-
day centered in the inquest, which
may determine the cause of death of
Minnie Mitchell. Three men already
stand accused as principals or aces
series of the crime-Oscar Thomp-
son, former roomer of Mrs. Bartho-
Inns; John Claffy, stableman, who
took care of the horse Thompson
drove, and Edward Counselman, init
mate friend of William J. Bartholin,
the supposed matricide.
Two new witnesses appeared today
with stories that Bartholin was seen
in Chicago as late as August Is.
Four members of the Mitchell fam
lily testified at the inquest that they
could not make a positive identified
ton of the body found lying in the
weeds on the prairie at eventy-fourth
and State streets and believed to be
that of Minnie Mitchell. These four
persons. the father, brother, sister
and sister-in-liW of the missing girl,
declared that the only Identification
they could make was that part of the
clothing found near the body belong
ed Miss Mitchell. Following this,
Coroner's Physician Springer made a
statement to the jury in which he
termed the body as that of an "un.
known OF unidentified woman" DR.
Springer stated positively that he did
not believe the body to be that of Miss
Mitchell because Of the advanced
state of decomposition. When the
body was found Miss Mitchell had
been missing but eight days, and DR.
Springer declared that it would be i'm
possible for her body to have decom'
posed as much as the n discovered
on the prairie.
Inspector Hunt produced a witness
who positively identified Oscar
Thompson, who is under arrest for
completely in the crime, as one OF
the two men on a street car near the
place where the body was found, and
a photograph of William Bartholin
as that of the second of the pair.
Thompson, Claffy and Counselman.
all of whom have been held to the
grand jury, were present at the in.
quest, but their attorneys refused to
allow them to testify. The inquest
was adjourned until tomorrow morn.

FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Many Square Miles Of Timber Reduc,
ed to TrackIess Wastes.

ed to Trackless Wastes.
Ymir, B. G., Aug. 19.-One of the
most disastrous fires which has ever
occuerred in West Kootenay is raging
about Ymir. Many square miles of
green timber have been reduced to
trackless wastes of burnt stumps and
ashes, whilst many buildings connect
with the more developed mines have
been wiped out in such a name as
to render it difficult to locate their
former sites. Wagon roads and
bridges have been destroyed and for
miles every trace of human handi-
work has been obliterated from the
surface Of the ground.
The principal region which has
been devastated is Wild Horse creek,
where the most important mines of
the Ymir section are situated. For
a distance of five miles along the
wagon road from the cyanide works
of the Ymir company to the Fog Horn
mine, every building has been destroy
the cribbing nj bridges on the main
road and it's branches burnt up.
The one building anywhere in the
path OF the fire. which was saved is
that covering the cyanide plant, which
the Ymir company yves to the fact
that a number of employees there YER
completely cut off from outside as
sistance by the flames and had they
not succeeded in keeping the build
ing intact would undoubtedly have
persisted. Fortunately the water sup
ply and fire attachments were in good
order and the men dug holes in which
they immersed themselves in water
up to their necks, while they handled
the hose in short shifts. Relief par
ties sent to their assistance from the
stamp mill were unable to reach them
and for a long time their fate was I'M
certain.

NEW FIGHTING MACHINES MOST
FORMIDABLE IN NAVY.
10 DESTROY SUBMARINES
Rapid Fire Batteries to BE Used
Against Divers Whenever They
Appear on the Surface.

States is not only attempting to keep
abreast of progress in naval construc-
ton by building submarine boats, but
Is also taking cognizance of the work
of other countries in this direction
and is undertaking to equip the navy
with every possible means Of defense
against these formidable and terrify-
ing craft. The giant Connecticut and
its sister ship, the Louisiana, will be
the greatest fighting vessels in Uncle
Sans navy, and will have exception
ally large secondary batteries, which
are designed primarily as a means Of
defense against surface and subma-
rine torpeod boats. These secondary
batteries will consist of 20 14-pound-
ers, IL 3-pounders, SIX 1-pounders of
an automatic type, two 3-inch field
pieces for landing parties and eight
smaller machines.
"The guns from 3 to 14-pounders
will be the most effective against SUBJ
marine torpedo boats" said Rear Ad-
miral O'Neil, chief of the naval bu-
reau of ordnance, in discussing SUBJ
marine warfare today. "Of course
these boats will appear on the surface
for only a moment and it will be nee.
essary to fire very rapidly in order
to destroy them. The big guns a n
not be handled fast enough, but the
others, being fired from the sholder,
can pour a string of shot after a sub
marine boat that will make it pretty
warm for it whenever it m to
the surface. Fortunately for the pro-
lection of the battleships the hull of
the submarine is very thin and car
be pierced by anything down to a
3-pounder. The difficulty is to hit it.
Some of the officers anticipate guard
ing against submarine boats by means
of swift moving torpedo boats, which
a run down the submarines and
ram them whenever they come to
the surface.
"Of course it will never be neces-
sary for the United States to main
tain as many submarine boats as
France, but at the same time we
should have a reasonable supply.
France realizes that it is impossible
for it to compete with England in the
matter of ~battleships and cruisers and
has therefore turned it's attention to
the development of the highest type
of submarine torpedo boats.
st is my idea, if the United States
were to place $4,000 at the disposal
of the navy department, we could
build boats of several types and per-
haps make some improvements on
the Holland. l understand that the
new vessels of this type which are
being built for the navy department
are to contain many improvements
over the original submarine boats,
but as they have not been tested I
cannot say as to them
In discussing the means employed
by submarine boats Of locating an
enemy, Admiral O'Neil said he un-
derstood from Admiral Bradford, who
had made a trip in n of the Ameri-
can submarine boats, that by means
of a prism, which was elevated above
the surface of the water, he could e
the surrounding vessels and other
objects very we'll, although some dis
