GOOE STORY, BUT UNTRUE.
John f.. Wallace Denies Friction
Over Canal Zone.

John f.. Wallace Denies Friction
Over Canal Zone.
Chicago, Sept. 26.-John F. Wal
lace, chief engineer of the isthmian
canal commission, who is in direct
charge of the construction of the Ca
nal, is at home for brief vacation,
and will be in Washington October 6,
when the bids are opened for machin-
cry and material to be used in canal
construction.
These We're advertised for some time
ago and will cover the expenditure of
approximately 81 900, 900.
Mr.. Wallace denied the story sent
out by New York special correspond
ent, who said that there was conten-
ton between himself and Gen. Davis,
governor of the canal zone.
Mr.. Wallace says the preliminary
work of thoroughly surveying the ca.
nal route with view of determining
at what level the canal is to be cut
will conume the remainder of the yeal
and all of 1905.
Mr.. Wallace estimates the entire
cost of the canal at $3.50, 100000.

ANTHRACITE IN CASCADES.
Tacoma Man Said TO Have DiscOv
cred Large Deposits.

Tacoma Man Said TO Have DiscOv-
cred Large Deposits.
Tacoma, Sept. 27.-During a two
weeks prospecting expedition near the
Cowlitz pass, George G. Taylor and S.
R. Balkwill, of Tacoma, took occasion
to examine the wonderful resources of
that section, including the large de-
posits of anthracite coal. 1t is stated
that there are thirty square miles of
this deposit, which is so per cent car
boon. At the present time all the an
thracite comes from the Atlantic coast.
AS the present fields can be worked to
advantage through Tacoma, it will
mean much to this city when the coal
is mined.
The Tacoma prospectors were much
surprised at the opportunity afforded
by this new field, and they believe that
the Tacoma Eastern, which now runs
within 25 miles of the deposits, can
solve the problem of crossing the
mountains by building through Carlton
creek pass, which is 1000 feet lower
than the Cowlityz or other passes. The
grade through the Carlton pass, it is
said, will not exceed per cent.

HElNZE TO SELL INTERESTS
Judge Clancy Says HmaIgamated
Company Is to Buy Him Out.


Butte, Mont, Sept. 27.-Judge
William Clancy, long recognized as
one of the two so-called Heinze judges
of Silver Bow county, has caused a
sensation by statement to the effect
that the Hienze mining interests in
Butte have been, or soon will be taken
over by the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany. In an interview Judge Clancy
said:
81 believe the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing Company has sold or is preparing
to sell its property. Even now, to my
personal knowledge, three abstractors
are at work in examining the titles to
the Montana Ore Purchasing proper
ties
Rumors have been rife for the past
two months of the sale of the Heinze
properties to the Amalgamated despite
strenuous denials by Mr.. Heinze, and
Judge Clancys statement is regarded
as almost authoritative that the deal
has been or shortly will be consum-
mated.

Milwaukee Director Says No Definite
Steps Have Been Taken.
New York, Sept. 26.-Roswell Mil
Ter, chairman of the board Of directors
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway Company: f. S. Bond
Peter Geddse and G. W. Hardness, di-
rectors, left for Milwaukee yesterday
to tatend the annual meeting of the
stock holders to be held in that city.
One of the directors, who did not
care to have his name mentioned, said
that the board will take up the ques-
ton of building an extension to the
Pacific coast, but he does not think
anything approaching a definite con-
clusion will be reached. He declared
that if the road decided to build a
coast extension the terminal would
probably be erected at Seattle. He
admitted that this was the plan. From
present indications he does not think
the stock holders will object to the
plan to build an extension. "We will
merely consider the matter at our
meeting" he said, "as we do not feel
that we are in a position yet to take
no the question and settle it for a
month or two"

CHINA NOT WILLING.

Ru ssian Protest Against Thibetan
Treaty Bears Fruit.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 26.-The Rus
sian protest against the Anglo Thibet-
an treaty, as forecast in the dispatches
Tuesday, has been presented at Picking.
M. Lessar, the Russian minister, is un-
derstood to have called the attention
of the Chinese foreign board to the
fact that China would abandon her
suzerainty over Thibet if she ratified
the treaty, thus creating British pro-
tectorate. The foreign Office here has
not as yet received M Lessar's report,
but the dispatch from Picking to the
Morning Post, of London, announcing
that China is not willing to ratify the
treaty, is believed to be the direct out
come of Russia protest.

Is Dying.

Natisnalist Leader Says Irish Race
Is Dying.
Chicago, Sept. 26.-To an audience
of his countrymen that filled every seat
in the Auditorium, John E. Redmond,
Irish Nationalist, uttered this warning:
"Our race is slipping from its moor
ings--it is dying. IT we are passive
and inactive, Ireland will cease to be
the home of the Celt. There are more
old lnen and little children and fewer
young men and women in that island
than in any other country on earth.
The death of the race can only be
wal 'ded off by acting in the living pres
ent. We must not neglect an oppor-
tunity."
Then he made this prediction:
I've shall seize our opportunities.
Before the Oldest man in this audience
is dead Ireland will have won a good
mesurae of self government
Mr. Redmond declared he wanted to
take back to Ireland with him $4,000
subscribed by Irish Americans. Fol-
lowing his plea Chairman John F. Fin.
nerty announced that sympathetic
Chicago Irishmen already had sub
scribed 81 900.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the certain fixed and positive
demand of the Irish people is and for
ever shall be Home rule for Ireland. -
1t was explained that by "home rule
was meant the vesting of the govern
ment of Ireland in a parliament assem-
bled upon the soil of Ireland independ-
ent of alien influences.

Omaha, May 31.-The democratic leaders from different parts of the state began arriving today fer the democratic state convention which will be held here on Wednesday.
 The indications now are that w. J. Bryan's friends will completely dom mate the convention, the convention in Douglas county, last Saturday having eliminated the last hope of the 're-organiZers" to secure recognition. The convention in addition to selecting four delegates al large. will also name two delegates for each district to the national convention and adopt a plat form which Is expected to reflect the views of Mir. Bryan.
 Mr Bryan himself probably will be elected to lead the Nebraska delegation al the St Louis convention. No con tests are anticipated, only one county having elected delegates directly op- posing the Kansas City platform.

IDENTIFICATION OF THUMB
 PRINTS.

The finger print method of personal Identification seems to be coming to the front. II tas long been used as Gn ad- junct to the Bertillion system of meas urement and now we are told that in England it is superseding that system, being regarded as both simp.er and surer. The trouble with any measure ment system is that the measurements of the same man taken by different psr- sons or ct different ages will differ slightly. and SO the Identification may fail. Finger prints. on the ether hand, tell their own story ard are subject to no personal equatiCr;" while their systems of ridges and whirls remains the same from infancy to manhood. Tn a recent European case reported in French paper, a murderer was de- tected through the agency of c, thumb print on the rail of a broken sash-so slight a mark that it was hardly visi- ble-but photography enabled it to be studied sufficiently for Identification Success.
