STEAM TURBINE
WORKS TO A CHARM
Naval Engineering Experts Make :
Satisfactory Examination

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug "a
board of naval engineering experts has
Just completed a thorough examina-
ton of the Turbina, one of the latest
developments in the use of the steam
turbine as applied to vessels The per-
fornance of the Turbina was regarded
as highly satisfactory There was a
complete absence of vibration, a most
important consideration in gun point-
ing and in the comfort OF the crew..
Almost no repairs are necessary to the
engines, there being no friction except
in a few bearings There is no pound
ing and thudding of engines, nothing
but a soft rush of steam through the
pipes so that noise is suppressed, an
other valuable consideration in naval
combats The engine room force is
largely reduced. additional coal carry
ms, ra ;;,,sss--itv is gained by the reduction
of weight of the engines aid the center
of gravity is lowered through the mo-
tors being placed just above the keel.

medal for her bravery in plotting her
party of children across Green bay in
rowboat on Thursday, during a heavy

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Inter
national Mercantile agency, the
s8,OOO,OOO corporation which went into
the hands of the sheriff yesterday on
an attachment issued on claim for
S54. .22O, made by former President
Thomas N. McCauley, is in more
trouble. on application of Newell W.
Bliss, Judge Enright, of Jersey City,
appointed George R. Beach, of that
city, temporary receiver, and in a
sweeping order restrained the officers
from exercising any of the privileges
and franchises of the company until
Sept. next, when the matter will
come up in the court of chancery for
argument
In the affidavit of the applicant
Bliss states the International Mercan-
tile company is insolvent that the eff
fects in the office in New York have
been seized in attachment and are now
in the possession of the sheriff; that
the company is without funds or credit
necessary to resume with safety to
the public and advantage to its stock
holders. Because of this and the fact
that the widely scattered assets of the
company are likely to be dissipated
unless a receiver is at once appointed,
as stated, application is made.
The application of today was pre-
cipitated by the McCauley suit The
directors include some of the best
known New Yorkers and Canadians
in the financial and commercial
world Friction came when the COM
pany. under McCauley's guidance, was

beginning to prosper Various causes
have been assigned for the trouble, but
the principal reason appears to have
been jealousy between the American
and Canadian directors over which
faction should dominate the company.
In the end McCauley resigned and
William C. Lane. president of the
Standard Trust company, was elected
president. Lane is now in Europe.
Before he went away he resigned, but
his resignation was not accepted.
It is understood McCau1ey was ask
ed to take the presidency again and
was about to do so when he discovered
that while he was out of Office the
running expenses of the company had
exceeded some $25, 600 or $27, 900. He
did not believe the concern could pros
per under such circumstances, and not
only refused to take the presidency,
but decided to press a claim for the
balance of a loan of almost half a
million dollars which he had made the
company while he was at it's head.

Crowd Jeers Munroe
The crowd understood from his pro-
testing gesticulations the purport of
his talk to Graney, and mighty vol
une of jeering and kissing evidenced
the sentiment of the spectators, many
of whom had placed money on the
miner that he would stay at least
double the number of rounds before
the champion
From the time the bell rang for the
commencement of the battle to the
time that the count of ten had been
uttered against Munroe, only four min

The fight demonstrated, If nothing else,

The two giants had not been in the

seen that the aspirations of Munroe

miner was scared and awkward and
Jeffries in the first round had him
twice on the canvas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees. Jeffries went back to his cor

sneer and laugh on his swarthy face,

will be great boon to the Northwest
and no one will appreciate it more than
the Minneapolis millers. 1t will make
them independent of the Atlantic sea-
board and will permit them to handle

Mr.. Edgar was discussing the report
that the Burlington road proposed to
construct terminal facilities costing over
$1,000,000 at Kansas City for the pur-
pose of handling grain and grain prod
ucts from the Northwest which were to
be shipped to the gulf ports for export
to Europe over lines in which Mr.. Hill
is more or less interested.
Il think this plan should be welcom-
ed and not opposed. 1t will make the
Minneapolis mi1Iers independent of the
Eastern trunk lines and will, in meas
ure, obviate the great blockades which
we have had every fall for several
years, it will be possible for the grain
man and flour manufacturer to-take
advantage of the most advantageous
route.

PEELED to ship over great railroad sys-
TENS already congested with local traf-

Minneapolis has nothing to fear at
the hands of Mr.. Hill He is as anxious
for the upbuilding of the Northwest as
any man and he is as anxious to carry
Minneapolis flour to the seaboard as

When Ben Butler was endeavoring

James, he found the water In the bend
at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them
pass. to say nothing Of the fact that
the COnfederates had erected two or
three batteries along the bend in order
10 give him warm reception. So he
went ahead and cut canal across the
neck and suddenly, instead Of being
l3 miles from Richmond, he was only
six. Ever since that time the canal
has been used, and the government
now considers It the channel Of the
river and keeps 1t in shape. The plan
tatiOns along the land were thus sud-
1enly drained of their very lifeblood
and have naturally fallen into decay.
The place Is called Dutch Gap be-
cause at this spot, In early colonial
days, a Dutchman worked very
smooth game upon the unsuspecting
Indian. The Dutchman wagered the
Indian that he could beat him padding
q canoe around the bend. The Indian
took him up on the instant and gave
him a mile the start. They started
just above the bend, the Indian a mile
behind, and when the Dutchman reach
cd the neck he jumped on shore. grab
bed his canoe out Of the water, ran
across to the other side with 1t, drop
ped it into the water again and calmly
awaited the arrival of the astonished
Indian. who had padded frantically
around the bend In the endeavor to
catch up with him. What the wager
was is not recorded. but the Dutchman
