GREATEST NAVAL PAGEANT.
Best Part of Americas Navy Re-
viewed by the President.

Best Part Of Americas Navy Re-
viewed by the President.
The most imposing naval pageant
ever seen in American waters passed
F.. in review recently before President
Roosevelt In Long Island sound. A
combined fleet Of siXty-one naval YES
sells, representing every type Of ship in
use in the navy except hospital ship
and a marine ship, greeted the Presi-
dent and vast throng of sightseers on
hundreds Of yachts, excursion boats
launches and rOwboats. There were
forty three fighting ships, ranging from
the massive battleships, like the Rhode
Island, of 10000 tons. costing $780,
600, and from the powerful and fast
armored cruiser, like the West Vir-
ginia, Of $4,000 tons, costing $5,SOO.OOO,
down to the submarine Shark, Of 12O
tons, costing probably $4,000. The
combined cost Of the ships, so far as
construction was concerned, was prob
ably more than $125,oOOoOO.
There were 1925 men on the fleet,

turned to the Mayfower and spent the
afternoon and the early part Of the
evening on board, rmaining long enough
to witness the electrical displays on the
ships and an exhibition Of their search

The deet was called officially the
United States Atlantic feet, under
command Of Rear Admiral Robley D.

three squadrons, with Admiral Evans

CAUSE OF CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Movement Declared to BE Wholly
Due to individuals, Not Nation.
No doubt the boycott was wholly due
to the stringency Of the exclusion law,
but the paramount object Of the move
ment is to raise the Chinese people to
an equal footing with ai.y other people
In relation with the United States and
not for securing the actual economic
advantage Of exporting laborers to
America, says T. Y. Chang in the Re-
view Of Reviews. 1t is for national
right and dignity rather than for any
thing else. There are, however, more
important points regarding this ques-
ton that should be carefully exam
ined; that is-first the boycott has
never been authorized by the govern
ment; second, the boycott has never
been carried out with any forcible or
violent means.
The government has done nothing
toward promoting the boycott. On the
contrary, the Pekin authorities have
tried hard to advise the merchants to
modify their disposition. But no gov
eminent in the world, however absolute
1t may be. has power to compel it's sub
jects to buy goods from a certain coun-
try unless they are willing to do 80.
No doubt this disagreeable movement
has been started by those who had per-
sonally suffered maltreatment under
the regulations of the Chinese immi-
grafton service Office. But there has
been not the least sign Of violence or
force, as the boycott has spread through
several provinces. 1t is purely volun-
tary action Of individuals. So long as
there Is no disturbance Of peace, boy
colt" is considered a legitimate move
ment by any civilized country Of the
world It Is a commercial design and
not a warlike scheme. 1t Is an indi-
vidual action and not a national policy.
There Is, therefore, no good ground
upon which the recent alarming news
could be supposed to have been based

convenient to make deposits there.
1t is not suggested that Mr.. Nipple
maintained these associations for fraud

were dishonest. But 1t Is certain that
after these affiliations had gained for
him a. great financial power Ills relig-
ious professions did not intervene BE-
tween himself and the temptation to In
vest trust funds in wildcat speculation,
nor to practice fraud to enable him to
carry out his schemes. Whether re-

that there was no suspicion against

From the officers Of the Real EState

could have created such a sensation as
the crash which followed the suicide
Of Mr.. Hipplea So carefully were the
circumstances Of his death concealed by
his family that 1t was. not until after
the exposure of his financial misdeeds
that it became known how he died. He
took laudanum and then lay down in
his bathtub and turned on the water.
For years Mr.. Nipple had been A
prominent fguer In charitable. relig-
ious and financial circles. He was su.

treasurer Of church institutions, among
them the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,. In several financial institutions
he was a director. Nipple had an ab-
horence for tobacco and liquor. His
Sundays were spent In church or In
religious meditation. Sunday newspa
pers he would not read. nor would he
ride In street cars, unless the necessity
was most urgent He could not be in
tiuced to discuss matters Of 4 business
nature on the Sabbath. His charities
were large and every one who appealed
to him was generously helped Hipple
acquitted himself well in all positions.
He was deemed BY all men as OF IN

CHAPTER VII.

we entered the forest. On every han0
stood the pines, stretching away in long.
melancholy avenues foored with drifted
snow. The laden branches bowed before
us, now and again, at the whirl of pass
ing gust, finging their burdens from
them. Once a willow grouse, white as
the snow beneath it, swept on steady
wing through the trees. Once from the
far, far distance. borne upon the eastern
breeze, there came a cry, weird. hope

wolf who felt the first pangs of the win
ter's hunger gathering round him. But
sleigh tracks on the newly fallen snow.
We did not travel fast, though our
driver did his best. The snow had not
hardened and settled into that enchant-
ing surface on which the runners speed
so swiftly. Midday was past before we
saw, through a sudden gap in the forest,
a rising mound crowned with a low, grey
building. "Castle Osterv cried our driv-
er, turning in his seat to claim our at
tention. In ten minutes more we had
halted at a gate set in high stone wall.
Before We were clear of the rugs the
driver had slipped from his perch and
tugged at a rusty iron bell-pull. We
waited without an answer. Again he
rang; but Graden did not wait the result.
The door was not bolted; it opened to
his vigorous arm. and we followed him
into the broad courtyard Of the castle.
Before US sprawled the main building
danked by little towers, like the pepper
box turrets of an old Scotch mansion.
The windows were suffered: the Chin
neys were smokeless save for one above
tho central porch. from which a dark
plume rose and trailed away to the west
ward-the solitary sign Of habitation. To
our right and left were ranged outbuild-
ings, stables, coach-houses, and the like
but all in q condition Of ruinous decay.
Patches fallen from the roofs laid bare
the rafters; from the broken cutters
trailed long pendants Of Ice. Against
the old doors the snow had piled itself In
heavy drifts. No sound broke the brood

Six miners are now employed run
ming the crosscut on the Homestake.
George Setback, one of the owners
of the mine, has constantly insisted
that the former prospecting work
done by the party holding the bond
on the property was done in the wrong
place, and the tunnel run parallel with
the ledge, and he made it condition
of extending the time on the bond
where he directed it. This has been
done with the result that the new
tunnel has been run 40 feet in fine
looking ore. Green Adams was over
there yesterday and brought in samples
which be will have assayed. Adams
says he believes from surface indica-
tions, the ledge will prove to be 200
feet wide, and if his samples only 60
five or six dollars that it will prove
great mining proposition, as the ore
can be cheaply reduced, being very
near the Swan Falls electric power
line, with plenty of water near by for
milling purposes. Mr. s. B. Longfellow's
son is on the ground in charge of the
expense accounts and Mr.. Setback is
experimenting the work.

resulting from fall which caused an
old gunshot wound received here many
years ago to hurt him once more. John
Thomas was known by all old timers
both here and on Wood River as ster-
ling man. He was a miner on War
Eagle from early days, and removed to
HALEY when the mines were opened
there in '78, returning here when the

G. VI. Sanders, Nj. D., Of New York
City, has been here for some days look
ing after the interests of the Gold Rock
Mining Company, owning property at
the head OF Blue Gulch, west of Black
Jack, where with Noble Getchell as
superintendent, considerable prospect
ing was dene some years since. The
doctor, for himself and as executor for
his brothers estate, is vii tually the sole
owner Of this property now, and he is
having it surveyed for the purpose of
applying for patent, and will have
considerable development work done in
the near future The doctor has been
one of the fortunate investors in Ever
EFT, Washington, property, where the
RocKafellers have spent many million
dollars in improvements, but have
since sold out to Jim Hill, the railway
who is now making the city
the principal Sound terminal of his
Great Northern road. OF course DR..
Sanders is very enthusiastic over the
of that city and also deeply
by the growth and prosperi-
ty of the Coast States generally.
