Three Lakes Canal Opened Up.

The canal that has been under
course OF construction between
Maple lake and the Eagle chan at
Three Lakes was finally dredged
through last week and a water
course opened up between Three
Lakes and the Chain of Lakes.
The surveys taken by two differ
ent engineers showed that there
was a tall of something over eight
feet between the two lakes,
Sounds showed that there was
sufficient water in the lake to war
rant the opening up of the canal
without building locks, While
The lake was lowered considerable
more than had been expected,
Still It seems that there is a sufic-
lent depth OF water to supply a
enamel and that give the people
OF Three Lakes a direct waterway
with the chain, and that, we be-
.'s'e was the object of the canal
l." the 1rss place. So while the
beauties Of tae lake are gone, yet
The advantages of a direct water
way have been gained,

Regulars WaIloped by School Boys

Nothing better presenting itself
the regulars undertook to amuse
themselves by game OF ball
with an aggregation composed OF
nine of the school boys. After
the first inning it was evident the
amusement was going to be the
other way and try as they might
the regulars could not make good
their boasts Of the day before.
The game opened wife Marvel
Garrison in the box for the young
fellows and Harry Mcintyre for
the regulars. When they found
out how things were going Adams
was substituted, but he appeared
easv meat and when the smoke
cleared away after the game the
score stood II to 7 in favor OF the
school children. Another game
will be played Sunday, If the
weather permits, when tremend-
Gus effort will be made by the reg
ulars to regain their lost prestige.

JAPANESE CUT CABLE.
Would Prevent News Of Operations
Reaching Ruesians.


Paris, Feb. 9.-The French foreign
Office has been advised that the jap
anese have cut the cable connecting
Japan and Korea. The object of this
action is believed to be to prevent
news of the operations of the Japanese
reaching the Russians, which was pos
sible no matter how closely censored
the dispatches sent might be.
Following the breaking off of rela-
tions between Russia and Japan the
cutting of the cable is regarded here
as significant of the purpose of the
Japanese to begin hostilities.
1t is learned that among the troops
sent by Russia to the vicinity of the
Yalu river are $4,000 Cossacks, whose
province it is to destroy the communi-
cations of any japanese army landing
along the coast or trying to strike the
Port Arthur railroad. The French
military experts consider this a good
tactical move. for the reason that the
Japanese have only small cavalry
force, insufficient to cope with that-of
the Russians.

japanese patience became exhaust

Shika and Manchuria," the CORE
spondent continues. 1.-TWO other Rus

The censor suppressed the location
Of the seizures.

MANY NoTAeLEs ATTEND.
Funeral Of the Late William c. Whit
ney at New York.

New York, Feb. 6.-Funeral serv-
ices over the remains of William c.
Whitney were held here during the
day at Grace Episcopal church. Rev.
DIR. William r. Huntington, the rector,
conducted the services, Bishop Doane
Of Albany also participating. In the
assemblage which filled the body of
the large church were many men of
the highest prominence in New York
and the United States, representatives
of the various interests with which
Mr.. Whitney had been identified, of
the municipal and national govern
ment. of societies and organizations of
which he had been a member and side
by side with them scores of employees
of the corporations with which he had
been connected. Floral tributes in
profusion were banked high around
the pulpit before which the coffin was
placed.
At the conclusion of the services
the remains were conveyed by a spe.
cial train to Woodlawn cemetery for
interment in the family plot.

LITTLE MORE ENCOURAGING.
Senator Hanna's Condition Shows
Sliqnt Improvement.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator Han
mas condition last night was a little
more encouraging, though the exereme
weakness that has been the worst
feature of his illness continues. He
had fairly quiet day, rested little
better and there was less irritability
of the stomach, so that the senator
was able to take more nourishment
than for some days.
For the past two days he has talked
very little and had made no effort as
at first to bring up business matters.
The physicians say it is case of
waiting for the disease to run it's
course, but that they are hopeful.
The heart action continues good
and the fact that the senator is of a
long-lived family is considered in his
favor.
Senator Hanna's temperature at 8
p. m. was 102; his pulse is 80 and
regular; respiration "a.

BUILDINGS DYNAMiTED TO
STOP PROGRESS OF FLAMES

Dynamite explosions were constant
Monday. The programme adopted Sun
day of blowing up buildings in an at
tempt to stay the progress of the
flames was continued until the fire
was under control Then the dyna-
miters turned their attention to razing
tottering walls which threatened to
collapse. The result was almost con-
stant cannonading and the detonating
was heard in all parts of the city.
With the fire under control the
blackened waste which lies in the
wake of the sea Of flames presents
view, terrible in it's pyrotechnic gran
deur. Where the fire has died out
nothing remains but waste, from
which rise hundreds Of towering and
insecure shafts. These are all that is
left of what were once handsome Of
flee buildings, storage, wholesale and
business houses of all kinds. The
loss will not be accurately estimated
for weeks.
Few persons explored fully, even
such portions of the burned district
as the cooling ruins would permit. The
high winds made it utterly impossible
for anyone to pass through the
streets bordered by crumbling walls
without grave danger to personal safe
ty. Tangled masses of wires cross
and recross the streets and these were
lashed so furiously by the wind that
they could have proved no more dan
gerous had they been alive.

Rooney Has a Record.

Something of the identity of John
Rooney, the murderer of the Sweet
boys, has at last been learned, Il
seems he was formerly resident Of
Oxford, Wis. 1t is said that his father
and sister live there. Rooney is re
ported to have had three wives, the
first of whom was divorced, but two
others claim his name and a charge
of higamy is alleged. Rooneys case
has been appealed to the United
States supreme court as result Of
change in the method of punishins
criminals and confusion over the mar,
ner in which he was sentenced.

tiOn.

PROPERTY LOSS PLACED
ABOVE HUNDRED MILLIONS

Insurance companies have opened
temporary Offices in the Lexington ho-
tel, but their representatives decline
to estimate the loss. The answer Of
one is typical of all:
cts too big. We have not figures
to describe it. Make it above $780,
100000. That's the best we can do"
The same indecision was true in re-
gard to estimates concerning insur-
ance.
The city was early placed under
martial law and thus all danger Of
looting in the doomed district was
eliminated. Word has been received
that General Corbin of New York will
soon be here to take command of the
federal troops. The presence of two
regiments of militia as an adjunct to
the police, which were augmented by
details from Philadelphia and Wash
ington, resulted in the maintenance Of
the best of order.
No one dares to guess what would
have happened had the flames jumped
the falls. The struggle Monday was
with the one end of confining the fire
to the west side of the muddy stream.
That this effort was successful is
merely the result of the fire burning
itself out and concerted labors of
nearly 100 fire companies, aided by
the powerful fire tug, The Cataract.
