FAMOUS LINE RE-sURvEYED.
Mason and Dixon Boundary Retraeed
by Surveyors,

The re-survey of the historic Ma
son and Divon line has just been
completed by the corps employed
Jointly by the states of Maryland and
Pennsylvania.
When the legislature of the two
states decided not to allow the fam
Gus boundary line to disappear so far
as visible signs of its location were
concerned, they undertook work that
proved very difficult and tedious. The
surveyors were obliged to cut path
through the mountains and they
found many of the old markers and
crown stones displaced.
In Adams county, Pa, one stone
was used as doorstep in dwelling,
another In church; some were doing
duty in bake ovens and others were
lying miles from their original places.
All were recovered, although not
without vigorous protest on the part
of the persons who were using them.
The work of re-establishing the
line was very carefully done, and the
old stone posts set along its course
after Charles Mason and jeremiah
Dixon marked 1t out in 1853 were re-
set in solid cement bases, and iron
posts were substituted in places
where the old posts have disappear

M|DVALE PLATE IS TESTED
Withstands Severest Trial at the
Indian Head Proving Ground.
MEANS A SAVING OF $50 A TON
Famous krupp Process Of Combine
Now Has Strong Rival in the
New Method.

The Midvale Steel Company, of Phil
adelphia, won great victory In q
battle between a big gun at Indian
Head proving grounds and one of the
steel armor plates made by the com
pany under the first contract awarded
it by the Government in 1908.
The plate, inches in thickness, was
subjected to three shots from 6-inch
gun, the muzzle velocity of the pro-
jectiles being 1857 feet per second.
There was no cracking of the armor
and none of the shells penetrated as
much as 2 inches, which is said to be
better showing than has ever been
made by any other armor subjected to
test at Indian Head.
In an official statement given out at
the navy department 1t is said the
Midvale plate made an excellent show
ing. This apparently settles all doubt
as to the ability of the Midvale COM
pany to make armor for the navy as
good as that made by the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies by the
Krupp process.
Moreover, the Midvale armor is sold
10 the government at u price poo u
ton cheaper than the armor made by
the other companies. The latter 1t is
asserted, pay the Krupps for the priv
ilege of the exclusive use of their sec
ret process in this country a royalty
of $33 a ton. The Midvale company
appears to have evolved process of
mountaineering of it's own that is
as good as the Krupp process.
The plate tested at Indian Head was
made by this new Midvale process. 1t
was representative plate from a
group containing 450 tons intended for
the side armor of the battleships Mis-
sissippi and Idaho. The 450-ton lot is
due for delivery to the Government
next month and will be the first batch
of the 6,000-ton contract awarded to
the Midvale company in 1903.
The awarding of this contract to
Midvale caused a sensation, as at the
time there was much doubt about the
ability of that company to make armor
of the required standard. A careful
investigation of the facilities of the
concern was made by order of the sec
retary of the navy before the contract
was given to Midvale.

PORTO R|CO's DEMANDS
Wants Insuar Senate and Off
GERS Named by Governor.
WILL MEMORIAL CONGRESS
Complain That the Balance Of Power
Still Rests With an Execu-
tive Council.

Delegates representing 65 out OF the
66 municipalities of Porto Rico, and
of both political parties, assembled In
convention at San Juan to memorial
ize congress with the view of bring
ing about sweeping changes in the
government of this island.
The memorial adopted by the con-
vention recites that this is the sew
enth anniversary of the American in
vasion of Porto Rico, and complains
that the preponderance of power still
rests with an executive council COM
posed of heads of departments ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt
"These heads of departments" 1t
says, 'arrive here knowing nothing
of the language, customs or needs of
the country, and "a hours after dis
embarking take their seats in the eX-
ecutive council and determine the fate
of the island"
The memorial calls for no change in
the composition of the house of dele
gates, which consists of 80 members
elected by the, people, but demands
the following amendments to the For
aker law
First The organization of an in
sular senate to be composed of two
senators each from seven districts,
in place of the executive council.
Second. That the proposed senate
and the house possess the same privi-
leges granted to the house under the
Foraker law.
Third. That the secretary of Por-
to Rico, the attorney general, the
treasurer, the auditor, the commits
sioner of education and the commits
sioner of the interior continue in their
present Offices under the present titles,
but that they form no part of the exc
cutive council
Fourth. That the officials named
be appointed by the governor with the
consent of the insular senate and not
by the president of the United States"
The memorial was adopted by ris-
ing vote, the delegates cheering for
five minutes
The convention also adopted a petit
ton for presentation to the insular
legislature for the protection of the
municipalities and the granting to
them of autonomy. One result of the
convention is the permanent estab-
lishment of an organization known as
the Porto Rico Municipal league, with
Mayor r. II. Todd of San Juan as
president.

EQUITABLE IN COURT
Suit Brought to Have Company Put
in Receivers Hands.

In the form of an amended com
plant to a bill filed last April, suit
was begun July 81 in the United
States Circuit Court for the Southern
New York district to throw the en-.
tire S421 100000 assets of the Equita.
bic Life Assurance Society into the
hands of receivers.
More than 40 policyholders in the
Equitable, representing a dozen differ
ent States. are included as complain
ants in the suit which is based in
part upon the allegation that the so.
ciety has no funds with which to meet
its enormous losses and is insOlvent.
With J. Wilcox Brown of Mary
land as complainant, papers were
filed last April to compel distribu-
tiOn of the SS4,OOO.000 surplus of the
society. and for the appointment of
receivers for the surplus fund. Since
the filing of that bill permission was
obtained to file an amended COM
plant, and A other policyholders
have interviewed.
In the amended bill there are in
WI POA ubtN many SiA'NlDhS ilSli 'iiS
Frick and Hendricks reports. The
bill alleges that the society has been
guilty of mismanagement in syndi-
cate transactions; that ''unreasona-
bic and excessive" salaries have been
paid, and that large sums of money,
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, 900,
belonging to the said assurance funds
of the society, were allowed by 1t to
remain until invested on deposit in
banks and trust companies, without
adequate interest, in many of which
banks and trust companies the said
officers and directors of the society
or many of them were large stock
holders for the purpose of securing
pecuniary benefit to such officers and
directors individually, and such undue
and unreasonable cash balances exist
ed since at least the year 1900"

from the island of Bjoerke:
"At 10 o'clock in the evening Of Ju-

anchorage of the Russian imperial
yacht Polar Star. Emperor William,
accompanied by Prince Albert Of
Schlewigh Holstein, and his suite,

William was received at the head OF

the Grand Duke Michael, and cordial
greetings were exchanged. The Ger

puN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Resumption at Steel Mills Reflects
Confidence in the Future-Im-
provement Over a Year Ago.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Commercial tendencies are still in
the direction of Improvement, al
though progress is hampered by
some imitation of prices for the raw
materials of textile and footwear in
dustries. Confidence expands as
the crops are secured each day put
ting a large quantity of grain be
yond danger, and making sensational
rumors of loss less effective. Evi
dences of faith in the future are in
creasing, more disposition being
shown to provide for requirement
beyond immediate consumption.
The industrial situation Is in strik.
ing contrast to conditions prevailing
a year ago, when there was much
idleness, both on account of quiet
trade and labor controversies. Com.
plete returns now available for the
leading apartments indicate that the
first half of 1905 made a better com
parison with the corresponding six
months of last year, which naturally
increases optimism regarding bust
ness during the second half.
Foreign commerce at New York
for the last week was almost identical
with the results in 1904. Traffic in
terests begin to feel the pressure of
crops, but facilities have proved am
pie thus far, and railway earnings in
July were go per cent larger than in
the same time last year. Resump-
tion of work at several steel plants
testifies to the brevity of the midsum-
mer period of dullness. Confidence
in the future is so general in this in
dustry that it would be most surpris-
ing if expected activity failed to ma
terialize. Prices are readily main
tanned.
Failures of the week number PA
in the United States against 220 last
year, and 27 in Canada, compared
with 1S a year ago.

oUTWlTTED BANDITS.

Mexican bandits, B. S. Loomis, cit.

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING
Many New Cases and Number
of Deaths Reported.
VICTIMS OF THE POORER CLASS
State Board of Health Issues Quar-
antine Against the City of
New Orleans.

The following report of the prog
ress of yellow fever in New Orleans
is, up to p. m, July 2S: New
cases, 21; total cases to date, 237;
deaths since July 12, Al; new cen
ters, s; total centers, 35.
The official report of progress of
the disease shows that the entire
quarter above Canal street was free
from a single new case and that the
fever was only spreading in the poor
er habitations of the downtoyn quar-
ter.
The health authorities continue to
hold that the plague remains an ltal-
ian infection, all but two of the last
26 cases reported being those of ltal-
ians. Almost without exception the
victims have been of the poorest
classes, many not long residents of
the United States and unacclimated,
For several years the planters of
Louisiana have been replacing ne
groes with Italian labor. Many of
the immigrants have remained in
New Orleans and It was among these
that the fever first appeared and to
that lack of acclimation and the in
adequacy of their treatment has been
largely due the heavy mortality that
has characterized the present vista
tion.
The Louisiana State Board of
Health finally ordered quarantine
of the State against New Orleans.
That action became necessary to pro-
tect all points in the State from be-
ing quarantined against by Alabama,
Texas and Mississippi. Three par.
ishes and one town in another parish
were granted communication with
New Orleans.

WONDERS OF WIRELESS
Naval System Picked UP Messages
LOO Miles at Sea.

Lieutenant Kaiser, who had charge
Of the wireless apparatus on board the
cruiser Brooklyn on the trip to France
and return, has made report to Rear
Admiral Massey, chief of the bureau
Of equipment, on the tests which
were made to determine at what dis
tance wireless messages may be re-
ceived aboard ship from shore sta
tions.
The lieutenant reported that the
longest distance at which wireless
messages were read during the day
time was $40 sea miles, and at night
100 sea miles, while wireless sig
nal was heard at a distance of 1,7S0
sea miles. The messages received
at a distance of LOO miles could
doubtless have been heard at still
greater distance.
