THE MlNNEHAHA.

This is the steamship Minnehaha,
which caught fire Wednesday, July 4,
from an explosion in her hold, as
Frank Holt, the college instructor
who shot j. p. Morgan, promised III
his letter to his wife, dated July j.
The ship was raced on to Halifax to
| save her cargo and crew from point

For time it was feared that llolts
bomb had been placed on one OF the |
big passenger liners, the Philadelphia
or the Saxonia, both of which sailed
July 3. He mentioned them in his let
ter. But the wording of the document
showed he was not certain as to the
name of the vessel. The Minnehaha
did not sail July 3, but at the time
Holt wrote his letter she was sched-
uled to leave on that date. She car
ried such large cargo of ammunition
for the British government that the
managers of the line took the precau-
ton of having her slip out of New
| York harbor late Sunday night, July a..
The vessel was on the southern

Watering Place, Recently Subjected

= Conveniences.

Windau. whence an attack Of Ger
man squadron was reported as being
repulsed the other day. forms the sub
5ect of the latest war primer of the
National Geographic Society.
Windau is Russia's Atlantic City. the
place where the Russian family of
moderate income goes to spend the
vacation period Before the outbreak
of the war it had succeeded in win
ming quite a reputation as a bathing
resort and increasing numbers of
6umner-wearied business men from
Petrograd found their way each year
to its strand. Besides its profits from
seasonal visitors. Windau also enjoyed
. considerable commerce with other
ports upon the Baltic.
Few Inhabitants Russian.
Riga. the first commercial harbor of
the Baltic provinces. lies 10 miles
away. west-southwest Libau, the
Russian naval station now held by the
German invaders. lies about seventy
miles to the south. and is point about
midway between Windau and Memel
Windau is connected with Riga and
Mitau by rail 1t is situated on the
River Windau. on a coast exposed to
sea attacks. 1t has a population of
1VsUOO, lew Oh WnO1n are Russians.
The harbor of Windau is a conven-
tent one for Russian blockade runners
laden with goods from Swedish ports.
Il II is free from ice almost all the year
around, and its peace-time trade had
reached some Importance. The annual
imports of Windau have totaled as
high as 100000. while 1T has export
ed wares in amounts varying between
$s.o00,ooo and ST.. 5000 year Grains.
timber and other agricultural produce
have made up the bulk of it's exports,
and its imports have been largely man
ufactured goods.
No Modern Conveniences.
Windau is old Lettish town Its
appearance testifies to it's age, which
is underscored for the rare visitor by
its entire lack of those modern con-
veniences that make present-day city
life worth living. And Riga, just 100
miles away. is probably the most mod
ern city in all Russia Most interest
