THE UNPfPARfONfSS
 OF GRfAI BRITAIN
The Total Unfitness of That Nation
 For War by Land or Sea.

London. Sept. 14.-In case of the sudden outbreak of war with one of the great powers it seems that England would be almost as badly off as was Russia when the Japanese attacked Port Arthur. That the English army is of little or no value as compared with that of the great military pow CTS, everyone knows. and now the civil lord of the admiralty has been forced publicly to admit in the house Of commons that of the instantly ready" home fleet, upon which Great Britain relies to ward off the first blow. twenty-siX vessels are so badly in need of repairs that they will he useless unless they are sent into dry dock during the next three months and twenty-onc other vessels are at the present time undergoing repairs.
 If the instantly ready fleet is in such a condition" says a London pa per. "one wonders if the remainder of our navy which is not supposed to he than the famous Baltic Squadron of the Car"
 Unpleasant thoughts. at a time when the Kaiser. who loves England no more than when he sent his telegram to the late President Krueger, is per of q mighty German fleet of 112 ves- sels in full fighting trim only few hours from the English coast.

C0PPER'S INFLUENCE
 WAS OVERSHADONlNG
It Baked All Attempts at a Restora-
 ton of the Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 1.-The disordered condition of the metal markets was the dominating influence again in the stock market and defeated any ten dcncy toward improvement prompted by other considerations. The distinc- tion was marked again between the railroad list and metal industrials. the former being moderately affected by the depression in the latter but show ing some disposition to rally at the the heavy liquidation in United States Steel both classes falling to new low levels for the year. and common stock sell ng at 2Sl1 and preferred stock at 90A. No news was forthcoming to indicate fresh changes in the iron and steel trade. The report that the Unit ed Metals company. the selling agency "f the Amalgamated Copper company. had cut the price of electrolytic to 15i. was an effective instrument in the hands of the bears. The prin- cipal product of the Amalgamated Copper Co is electrolytic copper. Cop per stocks were not SO depressed as yesterday. neither Amalgamated Cop per nor American Smelling selling at yesterdays low figures. The under tone of the market remained weak in spite of some feverish rallies in clos ing dealings.

RfSTfUL WORK OF
 A BUSY VACATION
Professor StiIwelI at His Desk Again Afte- an Outing Worth While.

Professor J. F. Stilwell. superintend- ent of the city schools, returned home yesterday after a summers outing that was both physical delight and 2 practical post graduate course in about everything that goes to make up the science of life and how tO live it. He went everywhere and had good time going. continued it while he was there. and enjoyed himself on the return trip. An attempt was mad. to interview him but he said he had too much to tell to enter irto details so he would content himself by just naming few places and saying h. was glad to get back and resume his school work.
 Like most all the teachers who managed to get vacation he went first to Los Angeles and attended the N. k. A. After that was over he jOurneyed north through California took peep at Mount Shasta passed through Portland and other oregon cities and on through Seattle and the state of Washington up to Vancouver. Victoria and other British Columbia cities. Returning to Seattle he climb ed the Rocky Mountain divide~ and spent a week in the Yellowstone park This was a most interesting week and all that it is advertised to be as ;i place of scenic interest No hunting i.s allowed. but he did what he never did before, enjoyed many hours of the finest fishing anybody ever had He was also permitted to ride forty or fifty miles a day by tallYhO. as the spirit moved him and had one horseback ridc of fOrty-tNo tnileS alone.
 Finishing the park he travelled over the Dakota wheat fields and through the northern states to Minneapolis and thence via Chicago to Baltimore. The next important stop was at Norfolk and Jamestown where he did the ex- position as thoroughly as possible and was greatly interested in it. He has nothing but praise for the Jamestown exposition and says the people in the west have received wrong impress sion concerning it. IL is not as largo show as St. Louis had. to be sure. but in proportion to it's size it is every bit as good and well worth the time of all who are privileged to see it. From there Prof. Stilwen travelled through Virginia and back tO his Car olina home where he visited with his mother and travelled around consider ably with her When all the visiting was over he started west again. com ing via Chicago, feeling that his sum mer and his money had been well spent. but of course. keen to scent the air of his western home. revel in the sweet odors of tho orange ErOVCr. greet the cacti-Covcred grandeur of the health-giving mountain ranges. .lis- ten to the merry ripple of the wealth

A REAL PEAGfMAKER
 FRANCE AND GERMANY
Brought Together Through the Efforts of Ambassador M. Jules Cambon.

Paris. Sept. 14.-It is no congregation to say that NJ. Jules Cambon. the French ambassador to Berlin. has done more this summer for the cause Of universal peace than all the diplomats who have been gathered at The Hague. for by his visit to Prince Buelow. chancellor Of the German empire. it is said in diplomatic circles. inc has pay ed the way for friendship between Germany and France.
 When it was first announced that M. CambOn had been invited to visit the chancellor, every one in France was greatly surprised but no one expected anything to come from II.
 Now, however. leading French and German papers declare that the meet ing between the two diplomats result ed in an understanding being reached on several important questions and while it would be too much to say that an "entente cordiale" exists be- tween the two countries international relations have received an important adjustment.

THE RAVA6ING

Description of the Great
 Japanese COnfldgrdtiOn
Three Hundred Lives Were Lost and 13,OOO Build ings Destroyed.

Victoria, Sept. 14.-The steamer Shawmut which arrived last night from Manila. brought further news of the great fire at Hakodate. It seems that the big conflagratiOn originated in a soap facOry near the Higashiga- wa Scool and spread with great ra- pidity. sweeping away hundreds of bamboo houses. During the fire the powder house of Kishomachi explod- cd. involving much loss of life. In all 300 lives were lost during the fire and 13.000 houses were burned.
 All the foreign consulates, the ad- min!strative offices. banks. company offices. schools, railway stations and custom houses were burned. one steamer. the Nanaye Maru. was burn ed and sank in the harbor after break ing from her mOorings. Ten large junks filled with coal were also burn ed. The insurance liabilities carried by eight Japanese companies amount ed to three and a half million yen. The Tokio press speaks pessimistically of the obligations of the insurance companies. some of which were liable for more than their paid up capital.

His Description of the Failure to Make
 a Start
The Battle In Upper Air With Wind and Snow, The Jagged Mountains Behind and the Hungry Polar Sea Beneath.

Berlin. Sept. 14.-Walter Wellman. petition. has sent the following tele- gram to the local papers from From soc: After the steamer Express cast off the cable the balloon America did exceedingly well but the increasing wind soon gave us a hard struggle and a strong wind drove us towards the jagged mountains near coast. where the airship would have been destroy ed if she had struck. Then ensued hard fighting between the storm and the motor. The latter triumphed,
 "Our confidence in the America had so increased in the meanwhile that | gave the order to start for the pole. The wind however increased to twelve miles an hour and the snow fell sO thickly that We could not see a quar- ter of a mile Just then the compass failed to work owing to defective con- struction. We were lost in a snow storm above and the Polar sea threat- ened US with destruction.
 After brief deliberaIion we de- cided to try to get back to the Ex- press to rectify our compass and start again. It Was impossible how ever to keep in one direction and we were again carried into dangerous proximity Of the mountains.
 ''Vaiman. the engineer. then put the motor to top speed and the America moved against the wind. which was probably blowing fifteen miles an hour. She c:rcled three times in the teeth of the wind.
 "We saw the Express for a moment but immediately lost her again. We could have returned to the Express if We could have seen where tO steer. but under the circumstances the only thing possible was to try land. With this idea We stopped the motor and let the America drift over the glacier. At the end of Doul bay We used the trailer filled with provisions and the brake rope. Both acted well and dragged over ice for one hundred feet without damage.
 After crossing the glacier We open cd the valve and landed on the upper glacier. a half mile in shore. The landing was effected so successfully that material weighing nine tons de- scended 300 feet and touched the ice with no shock or damage whatever excepting for several bent tubes and broken wires.
 'The delicate instruments were not injured. The self registering bio graphs. metographs and manometers continued running after landing. The mantle of the balloon can be easily re- paired.
 The America was in the air about three hours and covered about fifteen miles with her own power. She made three loops against the wind. proving her power and capability of being

GERMAN CRITICS
 RUN DOWN LUSITANIA
They Say That the Expectations of the Cunard Company Were Not Real ized.

Hamburg. Sept. 1i.-German marine critics that although it has been asserted that there was no intention to drive Lusitania during the first trip there is no doubt that the great hopes placed upon her performance were un
 realized. They also say that it was not really her maiden voyage. because she had been on a trial trip for more than a month, had made a voyage to Gibraltar and return and had sailed approximately 3OCO miles before she started for New York. She was ex- pected to make from 2iiR to 25 knots but it was scarcely likely that she would obtain the hoped for speed.

stccred. The ascent was successful in every respect. The America is from every standpoint the strongest airship and the most durable for a long jour ney that was ever built She has held her gas splendidly.
 Later in the same day the Express brought the men on sleds from camp. The balloon and entire outfit have been made ready for winter. After this successful attempt We are all con- vinced that We can make our way to the pole in normal summer weather. We all regard this plan as rational. practicable and feasible. The thing can be done. What can be done shall be done"
