Smooth, lint This Is the Season of
Storms In Chinese Waters—Oregon
Cost $0,375,02.
Washington, June 30.—The following
dispatches were received at the Navy
Department this morning relative to the
grounding of the Oregon:
“Che -Foo, June 29.—Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: Anchored yesterday
dense fog. in seventeen fathoms, three
miles south of How Ke light. Gulf of
Fechlle. Sent out two boats and sound
ed—least water rive and a half fathoms.
Weather clear. Got under way and
struck Pinnacle Rock. Much water In
forward compartment. Perfectly smooth.
Shall charter steamer If possible at Che
Foo and lighten ship. Rock through side
of ship above double bottom, about
frame nineteen. Small holes also through
bottom of ship. Wilde.”
“Che Foo, June 29.—Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: Iris gone to the as
sistance of the Oregon.
“Raymond Rogers,
"Commanding Nashville.” •
"Hong Kong, June 29.—Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: Princeton arrived.
Brooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The Za
flro, at Che Foo, has been sent to assist
Oregon, reported by Rogers on a rock
south of How Ke light. Iris going to
her assistance. Remey.’’
Capt. Wilde’s statement of the injuries
sustained by the Oregon is scarcely suffi
cient to enable the constructors here to
form a definite opinion as to the pros
pects of saving the famous ship. They
say, however, that the ship probably can
be saved, if the weather does not become
rough, but, unfortunately, this is the sea
son of storms in Chinese waters. The
point where the Oregon grounded is fifty
miles west-northwest of Che Foo. Taku
1 150 miles west of Pinnacle Rock, where
she struck.
At the request of (he Secretary of the
Navy, the State Department to-day sent
a message to the Russian government at
St. Petersburg, asking permission to bring
the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked
there In the event that the ship can be
floated. At that point is the nearest dock
of sufficient size to dock the ship, and it
is part of the navy yard possessions of
the Russian government.
Secretary Dong will spare no reasonable
expense in the effort to save the Oregon.
Her total cost was $6,575,032. Of this
total the hull and machinery represented
$3,222,810.
From the facts set out in Capt. Wilde’s
cablegram, the officials are not inclined
to censure him. He was under orders to
hurry, warranting the assumption of risk
by him. He appears to have observed
all of the usual precautions possible un
der such orders.
%'onp Lost on the Orpjjon.
London, July I,—A special from Shang
hai, dated June 30, says that all on board
the battleship Oregon, which went ashore
In the Gulf of Pechili, have been saved.
There Is some chances that the vessel
may be refloated.
GALA TIME FIIH AMERICANS.
Yaveltlnic of Monuments nt Paris
Will Be Great Ceremonies.
(Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press.)
Paris, June 30.—Tho coming week will
be a gala time for the Americans in Paris,
as it wtll be the occasion of one of the
most suggestive Franco-American demon
strations yet held In France. Tuesday
the Washington statue, situated very near
the American residential quarter, will be
unveiled, and on the following day a more
Important event will take place in the un
veiling and dedication by the French na
tion of a statue to the memory of La
fayette.
The French government fully appre
ciates the significance and immense im
portance of the Franco-American rela
tions. The unveiling of these monuments
bear eloquent testimony to their feelings
In the matter. The interest taken is
shown by the fact that President Loubet
and the ministers of his cabinet hove
promised to be present at the inaugura
tion of the Lafayette monument, while M.
Delcasse, the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, will he a prominent figure and
a leading speaker at the ceremony of turn
ing over the Washington monument. Min
ister of War Andre will represent the
government at the banquet at the Cham
ber of Commerce exercises. The Lafa
yette monument celebration will assume
a much greater importance than the per
sons organizing it ever imagined. The
ceremonies will take place in the garden
of the Tuileries.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press asked a member of the Chinese le
gation what they expected to do in the
event of the breaking off of the relations
between the French and Chinese govern
ment*.
“We really don’t know what w’ould hap
pen to us." was the candid reply.
Indeed, the position of the Chinese lega
tions In Europe at the present moment
I* extremely awkward. At the foreign
office the opinion is expressed that their
only place of refuge would be Switzer
land. which has no treaty with. China.
The feeling among diplomats In Paris is
to the effect that the Powers and China
are acting In good faith, and that unless
some nation makes a move which is in
terpreted as selfish, the ultimate outcome
will be an amicable arrangement. No mat
ter what the final result in China may be
the course taken by the United States
Is heartily co-operating with European na
tion* ha* created a most favorable impres

10,000 WILL HE IDLE
Until an Agreement Between Miners
and Operators I* Heaelied.
Birmingham’, Ala., June 30.—Pending a
settlement of the wage question, 10,000 coal
miner* will be Idle. This course was defl
nltely decided upon by the miners to-day
after their failure to make anew con
tract with the operators.
Ttl* miners demanded 10 cents a ton In
create t or digging coal and an average
advance of 20 per cent, for all day work.
They also demanded a two-weeks’ payantl
a uniform scale for all day men. Tliese
demands the operators would not grant.
The miners will meet again here Tues
day to further consider the wage scale
for the next year. The impression now
i* that a strike will be ordered if the op
erator* refuse to grant an advance in
wages.
Should a strike occur, it would result
its a doting down of all of the furnaces
In Ihe district and many other industries
and the enforced idleness of 5,000 other la
borer*.

Skelton Williams, of the Seaboard Air
o r':;;V ey that .t meetings
directors and stockholder. of the
ard Air Line Railway, the Florida
Central and Peninsular Railroad and the
>eoi gia and Alabama Railway this week
arrangements were perfected by which
he Seaboard Air Line Railway assumes
the operation, on after July 1, of the
Georgia and Alabama Railway and the
llorida Central and Peninsular system
as divisions of the Seaboard Air Line sys
tem.
At these meetings the necessary steps
"ere taken for the immediate consolida
tion with the Seaboard Air Line Railway
of some six or seven individual roads em
than' .i,! 1 ’ 1 . 1 ?* aggregating more
... . ..7 11 of roa< * the earnings of
W h ,‘h ' , a “ er Ju,y be consolidated
fro™ the main stera of the system
fiom Richmond to Ridgeway.
It is further announced that more than
80 per cent, of the capital stock of the
Georgia und Alabama Railway has al
ready adorned to the plan by which the
capitnl stock of that company will be re
tiree and replaced by tne new securities
of the Seaboard System.
The jurisdiction of the general officers
of the Seaboard Air Line System has
been extended over the two systems thus
absorbed, and President Williams also
announces several Important changes
among the officers, which are seen in
another column of the Morning News.
Pri sid nt Williams was asked whether
the c jr.trartion in general business was
being le t as yet by the Seaboard. He re
pl ed:
"Tie slackening in business which is ro
per ed in different parts of the country
has not b gun to manifest itself with us.
On the contrary, tie movement of freight
and passengers over the Seaboard is grow
ing uninterruptedly, and the only difficul
ty we have to contend with Just now is
a s rlous shortage in cars. We cannot
begin to furnish the equipment required
to transport ihe business that is being
off red to us. We are running many extra
trains to move this traffic, and at a mee -
ing of our directors this week I found it
necessary to recommend the purchase of
-,0 J additional freight cars, for which we
will send out specifications to the car
builders at once.
“ The linking together of the Florida Cen
tral and Penisular and the Georgia and
Alabama divisions of the Seaboard Air
Line will mean a large increase in busi
ness 10 all parts of the system. The old
main line of the Seaboard will hereafter
enjoy a large business in Florida products,
especinly in the line of frult9 and vegeta
bles, of which it has heretofore had no
share, and the business which it will de
rive from the Georgia and Alabama in Ihe
way of lumber and other Georgia products
will be considerable.
“I think it will be but a little while,
now before the earnings of the consolidat
ed system will reach and exceed $1,000,000
a month. I have not, of course, received
a report of the earnings of all divisions of
the system for the last quarter of the fiscal
year ending July 30, but the earnings of
all the roads embraced in the system for
the six months ending April 1 show that
we had earned about 100 per cent, more
than the interest on all outstanding bonds
for that period. The pronounced manner
in which the people of the seven Southern
states which are traversed by the 2,600
miles of the Seaboard Air Line are prov
ing their loyalty to it is simply magnifi
cent.”
OVER IN THREE WEEKS.
A Chinese Minister Snyi Earl Li Can
supirc*s Boxer* In That Time.
(Copyright, 1900. by the Associated Piets.)
Berlin. June 30.—A high foreign official
said to-day:
“The old theory of ’no war" 1* still up
held. The understandings between the
Powers are still intact. No exchange of
notes is going on. Japan some time ago
asked the Powers for their programme,
which communication- was answered. The
press has been exaggerating the share
which diplomacy has hitherto had in the
matter. There has not been any talk of
dismissing the Chinese ministers in Eu
rope.”
Lord Gough, the British charge d’af
faires. said He thought the Powers were
keeping up the fiction of no war as long
as possible out of fear of the difficulties
that might arise between themselves in
China if war was once officially admitted.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press also interviewed the Chinese minis
ter, Lui Hal Houan, who said:
"There has been no question hitherto
in Europe of handing the Chinese minis
ters their passports. No one knows where
the foreign ministers to China are. If
they went to Shanghai Kwan, it was a
step taken by the Chinese government
for their protection and was not their
dismissal.
“The sending of troops hence to China
is useless, for everything will be over
before their arrival. It will require six
weeks to get them to Tien Tsln, and LI
Hung Chang will suppress the Boxers in
three weeks.”
There is growing dissatisfaction
throughout Germany with the attitude of
the government regarding China, espe
cially because the government publishes
little official news, and even some of this
erroneous. At the foreign office evasive
answers were given to Inquiries about the
number of troops and ships which may
be dispatched.

ioseph Wheeler for bi unexpired term In
Congress.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 1. 1900.
IT LOOKS LIKE CHARLESTON.
IMPRESSION IS THAT THAT CITT
WILL GET THE STATIOX.
Report That Syndicate. In Charles
ton Are liny 1 11 g Possible Sites,
Though, I. Repugnant to the Sec
retary of the Xnvy—Savannah Re
ported Heady to Donate a Site for
the Station—The Hour,l Will Soon
Visit Port noyul anil Charleston.
■Washington, June 30.—At the navy de
partment the impression seems to prevail
that unless extortion is practiced by the
people of Charleston in the matter of the
site for the new naval station, the trans
fer from Port Royal to Charleston or vi
cinity will probably be made. The board
of officers just appointed to investigate
this subject in accordance with a recent
act of Congress is said to be favorable to
the transfer on general principles. Of
course no one knows tfrhat discoveries
they may make at Port Royal and Charles
ton when they fully investigate all the
circumstances and conditions existing in
both placfes. ,
The personnel of the board is such as
to insure a fair and impartial verdict as
they are men ot high standing, who are
not likely to be Influenced by political or
local considerations. It is apparent to
those who discussed the subject with Sec
retary Long, Rear Admiral Endlcott and
other officials in authority at the navy
deportment that there is a very strong
prejudice against maintaining the station
at Port Royal. Various reasons are as
signed for tlie existence of that prejudice,
and whether or not an honest investiga
tion will strengthen that prejudice remains
to be seen in the report of the board, ot
which Rear Admiral Rodgers Is president,
shall make to the Secretary of the Navy
fome of the Charlestonians are so con
fident that theorewort will he favorable
to their city that it is alleged syndicate
are bting formed to secure opdons on sev
eral of the sites for the pro
posed station at Charleston. Wheiher it is
true or not. intimations to this effect
have reached the navy department, and
Secretary Long unhesitatingly and dares
that if such a practice Is resorted to he
will use the discretion given him by Con
gress and act as his best Judgment may
dictate wi'h schemas of that kind which
may be contemplated.
A strict construction of the law on the
subject requires that the secretary shall
fitst de ermine Ihe actual condition of ttv
Port Royal s alien and the feasibility of
continuing it at that pcin't. If a change
of s ! te is regarded as essential to the bst
interests of the government, then the
board is authorized to examine ’lhe facili
ties afforded for a first class naval sta
tion and dry-dock at Charleston or vic;n
--i y. The scope of their examination is by
law ccnflsrd to Port Royal and Charles
ton. If neither place possesses the re
quired facilities and Is deemed available,
a further act of Congress will be neces
sary fjr the secretary to consider the lo
cation of the station at Savannah, Bruns
wick, or Wilmington, N. C.
In this connection it is stated at the
navy department that Savannah, with its
usual thrift and enterprise and readiness
to take advantage of a practical business
proposition, stands ready to donate to the
government without cost a site in Savan
nah harbor admirably adapted for the lo
cation of the naval station. Savannah,
while not seeking to deprive Port Royal
of the prize she now enjoys, appreciates
the many advantages and benefits to a
community which accompany a first-class
naval station. If the Port Royal station
is to be abandoned. Savannah’s ambition
to compete for the prize is laudable, and
her friends are making the contest in a
straightforward, businesslike manner.
The board will probably assemble at the
navy department at an early day, receive
their instructions ond then proceed to Port
Royal and Charleston to pursue their In
vestigation and report to the Secretary of
the Navy.

Horseflesh a* Food.
From Chamber's Journal.
The use of horse fiesh aa food is a sub
ject which has been brought Into promi
nence of late, owing lo the necessities
to which the beleaguered garrisons In
South Africa have been reduce**. It ts,
therefore, a mailer of general Interest
that certain butchers In San Francisco
hove been detected in using the flesh of
the horse as a substitute for beef In Ihe
manufacture of sausages and other
viands. There I* nothing unwholesome
in using the flesh of such a dean-feed
ing animal as the horse, hut It is right
ly considered that It should not be fols'ed
upon consumers In place of more extensive
meats. In many continental countries
the sale of horseflesh for human food Is
considerable; but the butcher* are
licensed, and the animals are killed under
proper sanitary con,* tiona. The New
York Medical Journal point* out that It
Is comparatively easy to detect the pres
ence of horffSmeat even In such emit!
quantities as 5 per cent. The suspected
meat ts boiled,for about m> hour lu a
small quantity of water, which 1* after
ward reduced by evaporation, cooled, and
filtered. To this liquid a few drops pf
compound lodine solution (one part lodine
and twslve parts potaeslc lodide in one
hundred part* of water) is added, when
n fugitive red-vlotet coloration indicates
the presence of horse meat.

SOME MIRAtI.HJt OF MEMORY.

From the San Francisco C&iy
One of Ihe most extraordinary feats of
memory ever known was that of Henry
Nelson Pillsbury, recently the American
champion chess player, when he played
twenty simultaneous games without see
ing any o( the board. One blindfolded
game is far beyond the power of nlnety-

nine out of one hundred chess players, fcutj 1
Mr. Pillsbury succeeded In the colossal j’
task of remembering for several hours th* j
consiantly changing positions of 640 bit* \)
of wood.
Not only did he win fourteen, draw five,!
ami lose but one of these twenty games,
but at the close also remembered the de
tails of every play ami corrected several I
mistakes which had been made in records *
lng them.
Wonderful a* this Is it need not alarm
Mr. Finsbury's friends with fears of a•'
mental breakdown. He has merely given
the world one of the most remarkable ex
a tuples Of what wo call vlsuallsm-a peou- L
liar and rarely cultivated function of
memory.
There is nothing abnormal In a feat ot
thls kind, and It need not be regarded as
an enormous strain upon the mind. Abnor
mality only appears when, one faculty *iul
tilics all the others. The probable fact
is that Plllshurk has discovered a better
method of playing cheae than others,
which makes a hitherto Impossible task
comparatively easy for him. I am cer
tain ihuc he could not have play r ed against
twenty tables by the aid of any artificial
memory system.
These systems are like crutches—they 1
help up to a certain point and then ar#
more apt to hinder, Visualizing 1* stm
ply a matter of concentration and devel- i
opsnent of a certain pictorial quality of !
memory. Those who are most likely ts '
excel are those who.devote themselves *n
tirely to one mental pursuit. They de
velop the faculty of becoming oblivious
of all that takes places around them.
I once knew a minister who memorised
his sermon by this method of visualising.
He would reproduce In his mind the manu
script just’aa it had been written, so that }
wherever It was blotted he would have
difficulty in remembering It. Most of ue i,
have this power to some slight degree, and
tt may he cultivated. One of the simplest
methods of strengthening the memory in
this line is to endeavor to recall what we
have seen during a walk through th* |
street*. i
Some people seem to be entirely with- \
out this power of mental photography, and ]
the following story ta sometimes used in ,
class rooms os a test: The story relates ,
that when Napoleon was visiting one of t
the military hospitals In Parts he stopped '
hy Ihe bedside of an old soldier who had
lost both an arm and a leg. The old so|- J
dler, in an ecstasy of loyally, sprang from t
the bed and. drawing his sword, cut off
with a single blow his one remaining 1
orra.
If Pillsbury were to be told this story ,
he would see Its absurdity at once, but ;
a person who has no i*>wer of represent- '
lng Ideas as pictures, would believe tt J
to be a possible occurrence.
We hear frequently of the marvelotm
achievement of some actor or actress who
commits to memory several hundred thou- '
sand words In a single season. This la
not done by visualizing, but by sequence.
fhange the seoueoce of ths speeches and
the memory often falls.
Memory is an exceedingly complex thing. ,
it Is n<* the highest type of menial func- ,
lion, and It ts noticeable that this power :
of visualizing decays as the power of ab
stract thought grows.
