DEATH OF BARTON MACKALL.
Former Washingtonian Victim of Cere-
bral Hemorrhage.

Word has been received here of the sud-
den death at Capon Springs, Va, Saturday
last of Barton Mackall, formerly of TINS
CITY Mr. Mackall was formerly engaged III
the real estate and insurance business here,
but had not lived in the city recently. HIS
body was taken to Winchester, Va, Mon
day and was inferred there today.
MIR Mackall was regular visitor at the
well-kuown summer resort, and had been
at Capon for some weeks past. Saturday
evening he went in bathing in the pool, and
i. is said that he attempted to swim across
the pool and back three times. He had per-
formed tine feat twice, and had just started
on the third trip, when he was seen to
throw up his hands and sink.
DR.. Cooke. who was near by. grasped the
man by the hair, and pulled him from the
water thinking that ne was drowning. Mr..
M3ckall was then dead, ard the cause was
ascribed to cerebral hemorrhage.
The body was taken to Winchester by a
local undertaken and prepared for burial
His relatives could nos be communicated
with. and as a last resort a local minister
was requested to hold services over the re-
mains. He was forty-siX years of age and
unmarried.
Mr.. Mackall was Il member of an old
Georgetown family. and was brought up in
this city. His brother. Brooke Mackall
lives here during the winter but is now at
Lincoln. Loudoun county, Va. 1t is not known
whether he has any other relatives living.
An effort has since been made TO commune
cate with the brother.

ROOM FOR CONTROVERSY.
Panama Colombian Boundry Not Def
iHitely Fixed.

The State Department is watching with
interest developments on the iSthmus con-
nected with the establishment of the east
ern boundary between Panama and Colon
bia. 1t appears that while the geographers
have drawn an arbitrary line beginning at
Cape Tiburon. the Gulf of Daren, as
matter of fact no survey has ever been
made, and as the old treaties spoke of the
boundary as lying on the watershed cross
ing the isthmus at that point even the ex-
istence of that shed has never been deter
mined.
So there is ample room for controversy
between Panama and Colombia as to the
exact location of this boundary, and re-
ports reaching Washington to the effect
that one side or the other had invaded the
disputed territory have given rise to some
apprehension of serious friction.
This was one of this subjects which Sec
rotary Hay charged Minister Barrett with
the attempt to adjust as far as he could by
sound advice, based upon such inquiry as
he could make. 1t is more difficult to ad-
dress the Colombian government. owing to
the partial absence of diplomatic relations
with that country, and the officials here
feel that If there should be any genuine
friction both countries might be glad to
listen to American advice.

FIRE-REsIsTING MATERIAL.
Commissioner West Approves Regula
ton Recurring It in Theaters.

Commissioner West late this afternoon.
after a long consideration, approved the
regulation requiring all scenery and wood
work on the stages in the local theaters to
be treated with a flre-ressting chemical
For a number Of years there has been a
regulation providing that all scenery and
stage fixtures be treated with a fire re-
sitsting chemical, "if practicable"
Heretofore however, the Commissioners
have not deemed it practicable to require
such treatment of scenery, but subsequent
to the Iroquois Theater disaster certain
preparations were tested by government
chemists at the request of Commissioner
Macfarland, and the chemists reported that
three of the preparations tested seemed
satisfactory as fire-resistants
Tie action of Commissioner West is taken
on recommendation made by Commission
er Macfarland last June that the section
Of the building regulations requiring the
treatment of scenery with a fire-resisting
chemical be enforced in Washington in the
future. Commissioners Macfarland was
heartily in favor of this regulation in the
interests of protection from possible fire
to the patrons of the theaters
After having reports from the govern
ment chemists relative to the efficiency of
the chemicals, Commissioner Macfarlan nd
made the recommended ton referred to in
June of this year Commissioner West has
been considering the matter since that
time. He desired to ascertain whether or
not any other city required visiting COM
panies to treat their scenery with the fire
resisting preparation.
AS the result of his inquiries into the
matter he has been Informed that nearly all
the large theatrical companies carrying
scenery have treated or intend to treat
their stage settings and scenery with chemi-
Gals deemed suitable for the purpose, and
he decided to join Commissioner Mcfarland
in providing additional protection from fire
in theaters to Washington playgoers

LAYING GROUND MINES.
Russians at Port Arthur Placing Great
Dependence on Them,

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September Ga cable dis
patch from Chefoo says that the Russians
at Port Arthur are taking advantage of d
lull to lay additional ground mines. Upon
these mines Port Arthur largely depends
for protection against sudden assaults.
The Immediate approaches to the town
have been literally strewn with explosives.
The terrible losses sustained by the Japa-
nese during their assault in the latter part
of August are largely ascribable to hidden
mines of this character over which the at
lacking army was forced to pass. a num-
Der of submarine mines are reported adrltt
in the Gulf of Pechili, having been torn
from their moorings off Port Arthur during
severe stofms.
Notification of their presence comes
through the Japanese consul general, who
has been instructed to warn shipmasters.
Considerable apprehension is felt in ship
ping circles. A steamer from Tientsin re-
ports having passed an object which was
apparently mine painted red. In some
quarters the belief is expressed that the
Japs are spreading the story about the
floating mines in order to keep vessels
away from Liaotishan. A number of Che
foo junks have been venturing near the
peninsula.

Had Been Engaged in Making Silver
Dollars at st. Louis,

The secret service bureau has received
netice of the arrest at st. Louis of James
N. Rice and his two sons. James N. jr.
and Andrew Rice. They were all engaged
in the making of silver dollars for circula-
ton among the exposition crowds, and a
good many of these counterfeits had been
put on the market in the last two or three
months. No clue could be found to the
counterfeiter until Chief Wilkie remembered
that Rice, who had served a term for coun-
terfeiting, had gone to ST. Louis from his
home In Chicago. He furnished the clue
that led to the shadowing of Rice and his
arrest in his den. He was found with cOun-
terfeit money in his possession and more
in his ROOM His sons also had some of the
money with them, and all three will proba-
bly, be sent to prison.
The secret service has arrested J. r. Hol-
comb and Tom Cox, in Pauls Valley. Ind,
for making and passing Photographic ma
tional bank notes. Holcomb was the pho
tographer and Cox the man who passed the
only note that the pair put on the market
before they were detected.

Regiment Deprived of Votes.

Owing to the presence of Vermont regi-
ment at the Manassas maneuvers today,
the vote in the Green mountain state may
suffer loss of 1890. Republicans claim
that the regiment of about 1900 men con-
tains 500 republican voters, the remaining
800 being democrats.
Throughout the state the proportion Of
republican votes is greater over the demo-
Gratis than that represented in the regiment
at Manassas, being two and a half and
three to one. but the majority of 800 in the
regiment will reduce the republican ma jor-
ity in the state just that much.
