MAY MAKE PARK OF CEMETERY
Grangevillc City Council Considers its
Adyisability.

Grangeville, Idaho. according to
the following from the Free Press os
that place is considering the advisa-
bility of converting the old cemetery
in that place into public park, the
issue being raised practically as it is
now made an issue in Pendleton:
Some of the members of the city
council have begun work on the prop
osition of moving the remains of per-
sons buried in the old cemetery to
the new plot and convert the grounds
of the old cemetery into a city park.
causing the grounds to be laid out
into walks and driveways; supply the
park with suitable rustic seats and
lie place where they may enjoy the
delightful outdoor life that is now de-
MED them owing to the fact that
there is no place to go excepting upon
the public highway or in private
grounds.
This movement is receiving most
encouraging support by all who have
investigated the proposition and deem
it the most feasible plan of putting
the land to the best use and thereby
doing away with the maintenance of
two cemeteries. BY thus converting
the present grounds into park the
plan would not only improve the city
in the best possible manner but would
place the eastern side of the city in
condition that would make it the
most desirable residence district of
the entire town.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE legisla-
tive insurance investigation COM
mittee resumed work this morning.
Edmund Randolph, treasurer of
the New York Life, resumed the
stand. He identified the report of
the finance committee bearing on
certain sales of stock at the time the
Prussian government insisted the
company sell its holdings of stock be-
fore IL could do business in Prussia.
Randolph made warm defense of
the action and said one sale of Chi
cal go & Northwestern stock by the
company made over S1,000,000. He
said he has been smarting under the
criticism and wanted to explain. He
defended the colored messenger who
was selected to borrow" money so.
the company could conform to the re-
quirements of Prussia.
Attorney Hughes for the commit
tee, questioned Randolph closely on
all stock sales. During the examina-
ticn reference was made to non-led-
ger records. He said all insurance
companies banks had non-ledger as
sets, and said they are good to fall
back on.
Hughes brought out the fact that
the New York Life held 5000 shares
of Union Pacific preferred, given as
a bonus for syndicate operations, as
non-ledger accounts, dated December
3, 1904. The witness said the COM
pany was never interested in any
syndicate at a loss.

striking picture of the Mikasa which

thing that might interfere with gun
fire or by intercepting the enemy's
shells, burst them and be knocked

danger the crew.
The Mikasa has been present and
taken prominent part in all the
hattleship engagements of the war
she has been subject to attack by the
guns of the enemy's fleet, by the
coast defense guns of Port Arthur's
Notifications, and by the deadly
mine and torpedo.

British government is endeavoring to
prevent war between Norway and
Sweden by more forcible means than
mere persuasion. 1t is regarded as
certain the government has made
known that Britain will not allow a
forcible settlement. A dispatch from
Christiana says the Norwegian and
Swedish ENJOYS will return to Karstad

There is strong hope Of the promul-
cation of an arbitration treaty to set

The Scientific American furnishes
the following facts relative to the
| flagship of Admiral Togo:
To speak of Admiral Togo is to
think of his flagship the Mikasa, and
wherever in the stirring events of the
war the Mikasa has been mentioned,
there We know the gallant little admi-
raj has been present, holding in his
hands the naval destinies of his coun-
try and the fate of the Russian fleets.
AS Nelson and the Victory are the
most famous names in the annals of
naval warfare in the 18th century, so
Togo and the Mikasa stand out in the
opening years of the Goth century
and bid fair, indeed, to become the
most notable historic figures when
come to be written.
The first-class battleship Mikasa,
Tcgo's flagship throughout the war,
is probably better known than any
other ship that has figured in the
present conflict. Built by Vickers.
Sons & Maxim at Barrow, she was at
the time of her launch in 1900, the
largest battleship afloat, and at the
opening of the war she was the
largest battleship in commission in
any navy. With a length over all
of 1876 feet. beam OF 76 feet, and a
draft of 81 IA feet, she displaces
1920 tons. She is a thoroughly up
to-date vessel, and includes the ac-
cepted ideas as to speed, armor and
armament of naval designers.
The only points on which ships of
later design surpass her are those
which are due to the lessons that
have been taught by the war in which
the Mikasa has figured so largely;
namely, the substitution of large
guns of from 3 to 10-inch caliber.
emplaced in turrets, for the more nu-
merous battery of 6-inch guns
mounted behind side armor which
constitutes the secondary armament
of the Mikasa and her type of bat
tleship. She is driven by twin triple
expansion engines, for which steam
is supplied by battery of 25 Belle
vile water-tube boilers.
As in the other battleships of the
Japanese navy the main battery con-
sists of four 12-inch wire-wound
guns of high velocity; the secondary
battery is made up of IA 6-inch guns.
