Secretary Bonaparte Makes Public Find.
ings Of Court of Tnquiry-0ficers and
Men Responsible Are Pointed Out
Suggests Court Martial.

Washington, Aug. 2l,--Secretary Bon.
apartc today made public the findings OF
the court OF inquiry which investigated
the explosion of the gunbont Benning.
ton on July 81 The findings were a
complete surprise for they set at rest
the stories that the Bennington's boil.
er was defective As matter Of fact
the court found that the explosion re-.
suited from the closing of the valve
which connected the exploded boiler with
the steam guagc so that the pressure on
the boiler may have been several hun.
dred pounds to the square inch when
the accident occurred
The officers aud men responsible in
the opinion of the court, are pointed out
and court martial proceedings are sug.
gested in the case of the only one of
them surviving, ensign Charles T Wade.

PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE
Beside Irrigation, Congress Also Takes
Up Subject Of Immigration--Thous.
ands Of People Attracted by Presence
Of Great Mormon Choir.

Portland, Aug. q Reclamation" and
kindred subjects are apparently to share
honors with undesirable immigration
in the deliberations OF the National Ir.
rigation Congress which assembled in the
Lewis and Clarke auditorium today fol
a four days session.
The subject of immigration did not ap,
pear to be unexpected nor was It's i'm.
portance minimumized by Governor
George c. Pardee of California, Presi.
dent of the Congress. Governor Pardee
thrice read the motion of William +.
Smythe, of California to appoint com.
mittee TO ascertain If the action by con.
gress was feasible in solving the prob
lem Of foreign immigration, and added
II there was any delegates in the hall
who had failed to hear the motion to
come to the front and hear it read, so
as to be able to vote intelligently on the
disposition.
A feature of the day was the reading
by Clifford Pinchot, Chief forester of the
United States of message to the con.
gress from President Roosevelt.
The convention opened auspiciously.
One thousand persons were present when
the presidents gavel fell calling the del.
egates to order and the number swelled
to twice that magnitude before the con.
gress had been in session an hour.
At the night session hundreds of peo.
pie were turned away from the audi.
torium who had been attracted by the
fact that aselection by the great Mormon
Choir, of 200 voices from Ogden, Utah
was on the program.
Brief speeches of welcome by Cover.
nor Chamberlain, Mayor Lane and rep.
resentativcs o, the local Commercial
bodies followed by responses from Cover.
nor Meade, of Washington, Congress
nan Stevens of Texas; Hon. John Henry
smith, of Salt Lake, consumed the bulk
If time during the first session.
Governor Pardee delivered the annual
address, and the session concluded with !
addresses from the chairman of the diff
erent sections.
The most striking Of these was the
eading of the presidents message by
'inehot. The President reviewed the i'm.
ortance of reclamation work in the de.
elopment of the country couuselled
atience until the operations of the law
eeame apparent and dwet on the impor
anceand wide scope of the act. The
resident warned the people against
letting public lands pass into private |
ands from fictitious reasons The prese
alton of the forests was emphasized
an aid to the future irrigation work.
An important speech was delivered by
