Few as are the people who can Inn
vastly fewer who can picture with any
certainty the scene OF a naval conflict
Terrible, too, as are all scenes Of
warfare, there seems something akin
to sacrilege, to destruction OF Gods
own realm, in man daring to carry
his bloodthirsty. destructive animosi-
ties out upon the stainless blue OF the
pure sea. Yet here, no matter how ter
rifle the slaughter, how widespread the
destruction wrought by man upon his
fellow man, the merciful sea, impol-
lutable, retcent, immediately efraces

doings from the gaze OF high heaven
nor allows the poor remains to lie and

And this, OF course, more 80 now
than ever has been before. In the
days when Britain became the sover-
eign power at sea, and her wooden
walls were handled and fought
through whole days in closest proxim-
ity with their enemies, 1t often befel
that ships hulled through and through
with shot drifted for many days,
while the handful Of unwounded sur,
vivors accomplished tasks such as

But modern sea warfare has changed
nearly all that. For more terrible,
but mercifully far more swift, will be
the conflict between hostile fleets in
the future. There will be scarcely any
such thing as the lingering agony,
long drawn out, OF the old days of sea
fighting. For one thing, modern iron
ciads and cruisers going into action
will choose the lesser Of two evils con-
fronting them. Because Of the deadly
peril OF splinters and OF fire, every
thing Of wood In their fittings even

WARM SESSION EXPECTED
Daughters of Liberty Will Have Siren
uous Meeting This Week.

PORTLAND, Me, Aug. 23-The
twenty-seventh annual meeting of the
National Council, Daughters of Lib
erty, opened in this city today with in
dications pointing to a lively session.
The all-absorbing topic for discussion
is the proposed amendment to the laws
man to gain admission. This matter
was before the national council at it's
proposition was rejected by a close
vote. At that meeting the amendment
was brought before the body as piece
of snap legislation, and it's introduction
was a surprise to many of the men,
bers. 1t is rumored now that one fac
ton in the national council is favoring
the amendment and that it's members
to vote for the change under penalty of
defeating them.
The proposed amendment is regarded
by many of the members as extremely
radical in character and it is evident
that it's adoption will be bitterly con-
tested. At the present time a man must
belong either to the Order of United
American Mechanics or to the junior
order to be eligible to membership in
the Daughters of Liberty. These quail
ificatiOnS have been demanded ever
since the organization has been in ex-
istence. The Daughters of Liberty now

Fred Russell, the Salt Lake heavy
weight, said this morning in discussing
the coming fight. 1T is true that Jack
has improved wonderfully the past
three years but even with that he can
not show any more cleverness than
Jeffries and as far as his physical make
up is concerned he looks like middle
weight along side of the boiler maker.
Munroe has been boosted to make him
a drawing card and like all worlds
championship fights it will draw a big
house and even the loser will pull down
many thousands of dollars.
One thing against Munroe is his
age. He has been tOuted around as a
budding youth of 2S years, but as a
matter of fact he is 33 years old. A

Consolidated Road. Acquires the Proper
to to Eventually Widen its Tracks.
The property at 1898 Artizan street,
occupied for years by the firm of E.
stannard & Son. iron founders and pat
ternmakers. has been recently sold to
the Consolidated railroad. The deeds
have not yet passed. but an agreement
for the sale has been reached.
Willis E. Miller, who has been assist
ing Essi stannard in the management
OF the business since the retirement
from the firm Of the late Loren H. STAN
nard. conducted the sale in behalf of
the veteran foundryman. The price the
property brought is not disclosed. The
rear of the foundry property extends
along the railroad tracks for about $50
feet. and the purchase by the CONSOLE
dated road is in line with other acquisi-
lions for the purpose, it is understood Of
widening the tracks in the cut.
Negotiations are under way between
Mr.. Miller and a foundry firm whose
name is not made public for the sale Of
the long established Stannard business.
In case these negotiations are success
full Essi Stannard will retire from bust
ness. If the negotiations for the sale of
the business fail. there is a provision
in the agreement with the railroad by
which Mr.. Stannard may lease the
foundry for a term of years and con-
time the business. 1t is the earnest
wish Of his many friends, however. in
view Of his advanced age, that he take
the present opportunity to retire from
his long and active business lie.

Turkish war of 1877 and in his time he
has fought with all the varied tribe and
races which have opposed Russia in
warfare, from Turks to the wild tribes
men Of Turkestan. During the terrible
assaults upon Plevna he played an
especially brilliant part as General
Skobeleff S chief of staff.
In one particular General Kuropat-
kin's record offers an interesting
parallel to that of Lord Roberts. In
the war against the Tekke-T urcomans
in 1880 he made a forced march of 600
miles which, considering the enormous
difficulties in the way was scarcely less
wonderful than Roberts march from
Kabul to Kandahar. When Skoboleff
was ordered to begin the campaign
against the Turcomans in that year he
telegraphed Kuropatkin to bring de-
tachment of troops from Tashkend
across Central Asia to meet him at
Bami, a point near the Persian frontier.
