For 1900 years Lhassa has been the

The lamas fought the British adj
vance foot by foot all the way through
the narrow passes IN the Himalayas.
Defeated at every turn, they implored
the British troops to turn back and
not set foot within the precincts of

BOAT cAPsIzED.
seven Of . Party Of Eight Tourists
Are Drowned in Nova
Scotia. -

Halifax, N. g., Aug. Sin trying to
reach the shore In small tender from
stranded yacht Thursday evening,
seven of the eight persons in the boat
were drowned through the capsizing Of
the little craft. Mr.. vedito, Of Bear
river, was the only one saved. The
dead as far as can be learned are:
George Leach, 46, manager of a WOOL
len mill, Nashville. r. l.; Capt.
Charles Hersey, Digby; Mrs. vedito 80.
Digby; Mrs O'Reilly, 40, supposed 10
be . New York woman; her son. aged
IS. and also daughter. The name Of
the other victim cannot be ascer-
tained.
The accident occurred In the An
nopolis basin, near Bear island. The
yacht which the unfortunate people
left was the Ouida, owned by Commo-
dore Irving of the Digby yacht club,
and was In charge of Capt. Charles
Hersey. She left Digby at seven
o'clock Thursday morning for Pink
ney's Point, at the month of Bear
river, to take out party Of Ameri-
can tourists who were camping In
that vicinity. The boat was seen to
leave the point about ten a. m, with
the party on board and a small tender
in tow. Arrangements had been made
to land the party at Smiths Cove.
near Bear river station, at four o'clock
in the afternoon.
Nearly all the drowned persons
were members of little camping
party that had spent the day fishing In
the basin from Commodore Irving's
yacht Ouida, of the Digby yacht squad
ron. In returning the yacht grounded
on Bear island bar, and 1t is believed
that the campers, anxious to get
ashore, persuaded Capt. Hersey to
take them all in his little ten-foot
tender. The little boat was swamped
by her heavy load. Jackson, the driver
of blackboard that was waiting for
the party at the landing, was the first
to notice that the little craft had
overturned, but, although he gave the
alarm Immediately, the nearest row.
boat was a small dory half mile
turned boat several were clinging to
it's bottom. The dory was the first to
reach the scene, but only Mr.. Vedito
showed signs of life. He was taken
ashore and sent home. The bodies OF
three of the other victims were subse-
quently recovered, including those OF
Mrs. O'Reilly and her little son.

Effect on the Boarding Houses.

The strike cost an almost untold
amount of loss to the various classes
interested. 1t meant loss of more
than half q million in wages to the
operatives; another heavy loss was oc-
casioned the commission men, the men
who sell the receipts of live stock at
the yards; another heavy loss fell upon
the stock yards company; still another
on the railroads, the packers paid
heavily for the experience in the at
least partial closing Of their plants and
the initiating Of new help; the loss to
the farmers and stock raisers would
run into the millions, but of all the los
ers the smallest amount Of considera-
ton was given the boarding house and
restaurant keepers.
Virtually one-fifth Of the population
OF Chicago live in boarding houses
Close to 100000 people eat at boarding
house tables twice each day. Let us
take for example boarding house the
writer knows, and at which there are
some 20 boarders. Allow for these 2(
boarders ten pounds Of meat for each
meal. During the strike meat advanced
not less than an average of five cents
per pound. That means not less than
80 cents per meal to the landlady, OF
one dollar per day, or $685. per year
Over and above the item of house rem,
and heat for herself and family thai
amount would mean practically all the
profits of the business of keeping
boarders while the rise in prices con.
tinued. II meant no fund for new cloth
ing. no amusements, no vacation trips
1t left nothing but the bare necessities
Of life.
AS 1t was with the boarding houses
80 1t was with the private families
Their cost of living increased material
ly during the rise in prices, and Il
takes longer for prices to go down than
1t does for them to 60 up. The strike
will affect meat prices for the next
three months at least. The wage earn
ers may never recover their lost wages,
nor the stock raisers their lost profits,
but in The end II is the general public
that pay most dearly for the privilege
Of watching gigantic struggle such
as the strike in the packing industries.

SULTAN MUST TAKE HEED.
Fleet Of American warships Sent to
Smyrna to Enforce Demand for
Fair Treatment.

Washington. Aug. S.-The Euro
pean squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Jewell, has been ordered to
cruise in Turkish waters to enforce
the demands Of the United States upon
the sultan. The president and his adj
visers are Of the opinion that the sui
tan has insulted and Inundated the
United States and that to delay longer
q show Of force would be to demon
strate timidity.
The correspondent of the New York
World telegraphed that paper that II
the presence Of the ships does not
bring the sultan to time the port OF
Smyrna will be seized and held until
AL questions In dispute are settled.
No money Is involved in the long
drawn-out dispute with Turkey, which
Is now becoming acute. Turkey is not
giving American schools and missions
within her dominions such liberal
treatment as she accords to similar in
situations OF France or Germany. The
American demand has long been for
equality Of rights and opportunities
with the most favored nation In this
and in several other respects regard
ing American citizens in Turkey.
Time after time during two years
Minister Leishman has asked the sui
tan to grant to American citizens In
Turkey the same rights and privileges
that citizens of other countries pos
sess. He was asked to abolish dis
ordinations against American reli-
gious and educational institutions in
Turkey.

venIences Of water travel. small in
comparison with modern vessels.
The writer has vivid recollection
OF crossing the lake ON several occa-
sions during the summer OF 1900 In
q boat then running In the regular
service between Chicago and Michigan
ports, that was capable Of carrying hut
30 passengers. 1t contained berths Of
questionable character, but no dining
facilities. A dozen years ago It was
one Of the floating palaces OF lake nav
igation, and was the pride Of the line
to which 1t belonged. To-day 1t IL con-
sidered At for nothing better than a
small local trade between coast points
from which It is desired to make con-
nection with the lake liners.
To take the place OF such boats there
are on the lakes now magnificent float
ing palaces. carrying 1000 TO double
that number OF passengers; with crews
running from 100 to 200 men; equipped
with every convenience known to the
ocean liner, such as private baths con-
nected with state rooms. elaborate din
ing saloons, handsomely furnished
smoking rooms. Instead of the ten
miles an hour of the old boats, these
vessels will make better than double
that speed, as they are driven by the
finest Of marine engines.
With the coming Of the new boats
there has come an impetus in the pas
senger business on the LAKES. Previous
to the Buffalo exposition such thing
as a through boat from Chicago to Buff
falo was unknown. Now regular line
OF steamers carry hundreds of passen-
gers between the two points each week.
The new boats have also done much to
popularize Michigan resorts, which are
growing rapidly in favor with the Chi
cago public.

Terrors of the Lake.

Lake navigation has its terrors equal
In many ways to those encountered on
the ocean. Violent storms have sent
many good boat and Its passengers
and crews to watery graves. The
stretch Of go miles Of water between the
east and west shores Of Lake Michigan
hides beneath its surface terrible mys-
teries that may never be solved.
One of these mysteries Is the fate OF
the steamship Chicora, last seen on the
morning of January 81. 1895, when she
left Milwaukee for st. Joseph. She
fell a victim of the terrible storm that
broke within short time after she left
port, but where she went down no one
has ever been able to tell, though re-
ward of $4,000 was offered any one
who could locate her. She carried 20
persons down with her.
other lake boats have so completely
disappeared that they have never been
located. Among these were the steam
ers Alpena and Doty, and the schoon-
ers Mary ID. Aver and Thomas Hume.
But recently It was believed that the
hull of the Wells Burt had pcen found
off Gross Point. She sank near this
point In 1889. and nothing was known
Of her afterward. The case Of the Al
pena was much like that of the Chico
ra. She was last seen on Holland.
but where she went down no one
knows.
The greatest of the. Lake Michigan
disasters was the sinking Of the steam.
er Lady Elgin, on September 8. 1860.
She was carrying church excursion
from Milwaukee to Chicago. and sank
of winnetka with 225 OF her passen-
gers and crew. Less than 100 Of the
sosal number on board were saved.
