ROCK THROUGH SIDE. WILDE REPORTS IP OX THE DAM AGE TO THE OHEGOX. HAS HOLES IN HER BOTTOM. fOMMAXDER EXERCISED PRECAU TIONS BEFORE SHE STRUCK. Sot Known Whether the Ship Can Be Saved—A Steamship Has Gone to Lighten Her XYater Is Xow 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 sion. 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*. Arrested Oaks.

Heavy Ranine.., q U ß ‘n hm °" d ’ Va ’ June *>■-President John 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. BIOT AT WALTBHBORO. Town I* Being: Guarded by the Mili tary Company.

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.

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. 7
