A curious relic Of the great disaster
has been found. The explorers last
night and this morning recovered
plates and other chinaware in the
officers quarters Some were identi-
fled later as parts of the dinner ser
vice of the captain and wardroom
mess. All were in a good state of
preservation and were found piled up
as they had been left by the stewards
after the last dinner.
This afternoon the searchers found
on the spar deck, adjacent To the
port turret. a small ammunition box,
such as is Gust omarily distributed
about the decks. This contained an
agglomerated mass of six millimetre
cartridge clips for the naval service
rife and a number of short knife
bayonets in metali" leathered covered
scabbards. The clips of cartridges
were we'll preserved, but the steel
bayonets were reduced to almost I'M
identi6able masses of rust, around
which were clinging shreds of leather
sackings.
The disintegration of the bayonets
is believed to have been the result of
ealyanic action between the steel and
the brass cartridge cases in the medi-
UNI of sea water. This gives rise TO
speculation regarding the effect of
galvanic action on portions of the hull
still under the water. on which de-

The Railroad Issues Average Price
Reaches Highest OF the Year.

New York June 18.-Influences
brought to bear upon the stock mar
ket last week were not sufficiently
pronounced to bring about decided
changes in the character of trading or
speculative sentiment, movement of
stocks were narrow and hesitating,
indicating no decisive trend, although
there were evidences of underlying
strength in the resistance of the mar
ket to severe attacks from the bear
party. and in the creeping advance of
railroad stocks in the face of these at
tacks The average price of railroad
issues touched the highest point of

movement was so small as to possess
little significance. Interest Jagged and
the amount of trading fell off sharp
ly. The market apparently was mark
ing time while awaiting information
which might form the basis of a
broader movement Doubt as to pros
poets for crops and as to the outlook
for a trade revival was chiefly respon-
sible for the hesitation.
Interest centered largely upon the
condition of the crops. The govern
ment's weekly weather report gave OIL
fetal confirmation Ia adviccs from
various points in the South and South
west that crop prospects were being
impaired by drought and caused no
little uneasiness on the stock OK
change as well as in the grain and
cotton market Rains toward the close
of the week in several sections gave
some relief from these misgivngs.
Definite signs Of Improvement in the
steel and iron trade We're, perhaps the
most encouraging developments of the
week. Reports of increased business
following the recent reduction of
prices were general. A further ad-
vance in the price of copper metal,
coupled with large gain in the vol
ume of exports and shrinkage in the
European visible supply, pointed to an
improvement in this branch of the
metal trades.
The report of foreign trade for May
gave striking evidence of the manner
in which the countrY'S credits abroad
are being maintained. Not only were
last months exports the largest ever
reached in the month of May, but the
balance of trade in favor of this
country was increased to more than
$500, 600, 900 for the IL months of the
fiscal year.

MORE BOUQUETS FOR BORAH
MILLER & STONE

Eastern papers still comment ia
vorably on 1daho's junior senator.
The Springfield Press Union of De-
cember IL, says:
Massachusetts men around the
capSe6l notice a great deal of interest
being taken by visitors from home
in Senator Borah of Idaho. In the
senate gallery he is one of those they
wish to have pointed out.
ut is evident that there is a feeling
growing that he is n of the coming
big leaders of the party, and he is
a great figure of all the younger
members of the senate.
"'Watch for him in 1916, is now
a common prediction to be heard
here, an indication of the confidence
that he will grow in fame as fast in
the next four years as he has in the
last four.
"The explanation of the interest
displayed by fasteners in the polit-
ical future of a senator from SO far
west as Idaho is simple. The eastern
Republicans have less of a quarrel
with him than with any other pro-
'gressive Republican from the west.
THUS far he has fully succeeded
in the difficult course of which Sena-
tor Townsend of Michigan, for in
stance, made a mess, that of being an
insurgent and yet not antagonizing
the regulars, and above all not laying
himself open to the suspicion of try
ing to ride two horses. The eastern
ers who have progressive Republican
sympathies are naturally looking on
him as the man who has come neal
est to a sane, middle course between
LaFollette and the old regular
forces"

TO THE MEN OF SOUTHERN
IDAHO

All right-thinking men are in SYM
pathy with every sincere effort to
better human conditions. Practically
all such men desire to assist work
of that character. There are few,
if any, movements of that kind that
are not rooted in the principles OF
Christianity.
If we did not have the Christian
religion, there would be no such hui
manitarian work. Should it be de-
stroyed, work for humanity would
cease. No other conclusion can be
drawn from a candid study of his
tory.
What then, is your duty toward the
Christian religion and the church?
Can you consistently be Indifferent
to it's call and appeal. Every man
deep in his heart has an instinct that
reaches out after Good. Why keep
this spirit submerged? Turn it into
channels of unselfish service and ex-
perience the joy that passeth all I'LL
derstanding.
1t is only in fellowship with the
Great Leader in social service that
enthusiasm in the cause of humanl-
ty can be found.
You need to be engaged in this
work.
What is the effect of acceptance Of
Christianity upon the individual?
1t brings peace that cannot be
found otherwise; it cleanses the
mans life; it gives him power to
fight sin; it inspires him to do his
best for his fellow beings; it gives
him a new standard of life that
brings out the best that is in him
and a hope of blessed immortality
that is the promise to all who believe
and serve.
Are these things worth while to
you as individuals, as a community,
as a constituent part of state and
nation?
Men of Idaho, you need what the
gospel has to give you; the church
needs you to strengthen it for all
the work it must do for humanity,
and it has places for all in the a
ious branches of it's activity.
Come forward then and devote
the best you have to the success oil
the men and religion forward move
ment.

owing to climatic or other conditions,
for the successful rearing of chill
dren. While the rate of mortality
in some places is but 9 per cent, yet
in portions of Massachusetts, nearly
SO per cent of all deaths are of chill
dren under five years of age. The
state of Michigan behaves fairly well
in caring for the infant INDUSTRY, but
Detroit and Alpena are particularly
bad, as the number of deaths of
children under five years of age run
as high as 81 per cent, and in Rhode
Island the percentage OF mortality is
likewise high. Duluth, Minnesota,
shows 29 per cent of deaths among
children under five years of age.
Western states, as a rule, including
Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Iowa, Oklahoma and Kansas
seem to hold out the most hopeful
conditions for children.
The Senate committee on Inter-
state Commerce is certainly doing
splendid work in securing informa-
ton on the trust question; but it is
apparent that the divergence of opin-
ion is so great that it will be impos-
sible for any body of men to agree
upon new legislation that will cure
the national ills incident to the
springing up of the trusts. The hear
ings are being conscientiously con-
Quoted and doubtless will produce a
great amo mt of good. While the
country may be enriched by it's gen.
eral knowledge on the subject of
trusts, yet anything in the way of
a remedy will have to be fought out
in the Killkenney manner, accorded
to big questions on Capitol hill.
A western congressman, in all SER
%iousness, introduced a bill to repeal
the Canadian reciprocity legislation,
passed by Congress in the special ses-
sion. 1t is intimate at the capitol
that in view of what Canada has al
ready done in this direction, hardly
anything is necessary in legislation
on the subject on this side of the
border.
The Congressional Record shows
that members of Congress, having in
charge claims of veterans of the civil
war, are fully mindful of their duty
to the men who wore the blue; and
as a result, a great volume of bust
ness has been sent to the committee
on pensions. Page after page of the
Record is filled with the titles of bills
to grant pensions and increases to
civil war veterans.
News comes from Richmond, Vir-
ginia, that the youngest son of for
mer President John Tyler, is a char
ity patient in a public hospital. The
case is a particularly pathetic one, as
young Tyler's wife has been at
deaths door for some time, and the
misfortunes in the family are evident
ly not due to any bad habits or vices
on the part of the son of the tenth
president of the United tates.

SPECIAL Cable to Tue Washington Herald
Hongkong, Nov. 3.-Fighting is still in
progress in Hankow. according to dis
patches received here to-day. The city
is described as a pile of ruins, with bodies
strewn everywhere. The battle there be-
tween the royalists and the rebels is be-
heved to be the most vicious OF the
revolution. The destruction OF the city
on the night OF November 1 is described
as an appalling spectacle. Thousands Of
rebels and Ioyalists fought all night long
in various parts OF the city and explosive
shells from the imperial batteries dropped
necessarily into the native quarter. The
rebels in the meantime sought to dislodge
the loyalists with long-range guns from
the WI Chang fortifcations. Shortly be-
| fore midnight fire broke out in the most
| thickly populated district, and in two
hours the flames were sweeping over the
entire city, devastating great areas and
taking scores Of lives. How many were
killed cannot be estimated.
The firing from the hostile positions
continued yesterday and to-day with oc-
casional hand-to-hand conflicts within the
| city.
