PALACE FOR THE DEAD.

CHICAGO, October 9.-One of the
most magnificent private mauso-
leuns in the world is to be built
within a year to the memory OF
the late Potter Palmer, the million
aire hotel man who died two
years ago. Members of the family
have decided that 100000 shall be
spent on the structure. and have given
the contractor and architect full sway
to design and build monument in
Graeeland Cemetery which shall be a
work of art as well as an imposing
pile of marble and granite
Much fine italian marble is to be
imported, but the main body will be
Of Vermont marble. The sarcophagi
within the tomb will be richly carved.
There will he crypts for fourteen
bodies in solid granite. Mr.. Palmer's
body will be removed from the tempo
rary crypt, which Is itself q costly one,
and be entombed as soon as the maus-
oleum is completed. Other members
of the family will eventually find rest
ing-places until all fourteen crypts
are occupied. A companion mausole-
UNI for the Honore family, OF which
Mrs. Palmer is member. will be built
be imposing, but not so expensive. The
Palmer mausoleurn will rival that of
the late John Mackay, president of the
Postal Telegraph Company in New
York

RAID ON EASTERN
COAST OF JAPAN
Vladivostok Squadron Enters Pa
cif1c Ocean and Alarms
Japs.

Toxic, July 20.-The Russian vladi-
vostok squadron, unaccompanied by
torpedoboats, entered the Pacific ocean
today at Z o'clock. It's destination is
unknown, but it is suggested that it
possibly plans to raid the east coast
of Japan and then either return to
Vladivostok or attempt to form juno
ton with the Port Arthur fleet.
The squadron was discovered in the
Straits Of Tsugar at o'clock this
morning steaming rapidly eastward.
At 4 o'clock am. 1t was reported off
Tappi cape, and at Z am. observers
at Hakodate discerned 1t and report
ed, to Toxic that it was then steam
ing to the east.
Warnings have gone out to shipping
along the eastern coast Of Japan and
merchantmen are hurriedly seeking
cover. It Is expected that most Of the
shipping will be warned before the
Russian vessels can inflict serious dam
age If a raid is purposed.
Ordinarily a lack of coal would
prevent an extended cruise, but it is
possible that the Russians possess a
collier at a rendezvous in the Pacific
ocean.
The Vladivostok 50 squadron over
hauled a Japanese steamer off TsugaI
straits. The name OF the vessel cap
tured and its fate have not yet been
learned. zlsss3 50
