NAVAL SEARCH PROBLEM ENDED

Island. The enemy had most slT
naliy failed to make a harbor, having
for its object Salem. A preponder
ance of flailing strength, relatively
64 points, represented by the battle
ships Kearsarge, Alabama and Massa
chusetts, Scoi'picn and a torpedo boat,
had overwhelmed the 4."i points repre
sented by I lie auxiliary cruisers Prai

from a theoretical standpoint, the
White Squadron was entirely de
stroyed by the guns of the defending
battleships. 'I'll us on the fourth night
the game of naval strategy was
brought to an end, It having covered
a period o? unceasing toil, sleepless
nights, of anxious and wearing vigil
and of grave uncertainty to its par
ticipants. ...
The stirroiincllng end, "putting oiit
of action" of the squadron in com
mand of Commander Pillsbury was
the culminating incident in one of the
most Interesting chapters in th
peaco history of the Americin v y.
For the placing in operation ot tae
manoeuvres of the warships off the
coast of New Kngland the navy hail
long prepared itself and had Ions
looked forward to tli i with keen
anticipation. To win i:: !; mimic war
the Blue Squadron had to bring

The flagship was Just falling down
Into n trough when he notified the en
sign at his side that he could see the
enemy. The officer of the deck called
Flag Lieutenant Evans and Flag Sec
retary Bristol, and it was but the
work of a moment to inform Admiral
Hlgcln-on of the probability '.hat the
time for derisive action was at hand.
It was real war then. General quarters
wero sounded, there was a quick
rush of maty feet, the manning of a
hundred posts, the clank of the an
chor chain, the rinsing of beils, the
g4vlcg of orders and a general clear
ing for action. Not many momenta
passed before the flagship was under
way, steaming at 14 knots, with the
Alabama and Massachusetts many
lengths In the rear. Some distance
bai:t was the Barney, rapidly over
hauling the ships ahead.
At 5.40 o'clock the three battleships,
aided by the converted yacht Scor
pion, which had chased In from the
south In time to be in at the finish,
and the Barney, which had overtaken
the fleet, formed a horseshoe about
the White Squadron. The elation
among the men on board the Blue
Squadron ran high.
There was something pathetic
In the picture when Commander Pills
bury, after he had signalled his sur
render, passed In his barge from the
Prairie, walked up the starboard
gangway of the Kearsarge and of
fered his sword to Admiral Higginson.
"Keep your sword, sir," said the
senior officer, his voice quavering a
bit in spite of himself. "I would not
accept the sword from so gallant a
foe."
"And I, sir," responded Pillsbury,
with dignity, "could not surrender to
a nobler or better officer, sir."
RULES FOR WAR GAME
Army and Navy Manoeuvres Divided
Into Two Phases.
New York, Aug. 26. Major General
MacArthtir made public yesterday the
text of the rules agreed upon for the
coming army and navy manoeuvres.
The whole scheme of operations is
based upon the assumption that, in
anticipation of a declaration of hos
tilities, a strong hostile fleet, without
torpedo boats, determines to make a
sudden dash on the eastern entrance
of Long Island Sound to secure a
naval base, In the expectation of find
ing the land forces, in the absence of
a declaration of war, In a somewhat
unprepared condition. Hostilities will
begin on August 29 and end at noon,
September 6.
The periods of the manoeuvres are
to be divided Into two distinct phases
period of preparation and period of
hostilties. During the first period It
Is Intended that there shall be a day
attack and a night attack by the fleet,
and If possible a bombardment and
the forcing of a passage. During the
ensuing period mines and obstructions
may be planted by the defense, and
the conditions of war are to be fol
lowed as closely as possible.
Elaborate rules are laid down to es
timate the value of the fire of guns
of all calibres so as to determine
when any ship or fort shall be consid
ered to have been put out of action
or silenced. All mines are to he fully
connected and furnished with dummy
charges and fuses, the explosion ot
which will be supposed to entail the
destructii.n ( any vessel passing over
a mine. ;: communication will be
held with t ie shore by the fleet ex
cept under a flag of truce, and no
boats will j allowed alongside the
ships.

IT ON MIS
President Says He Has Not Discov
ered a Patent Cure-AIL
BETTER LAWS ARE NEEDED
Declared First Thing Wanted Is Pub
licity, Which Would Cure Many
Evils All Anti-Trust Laws Will
Be Enforced.
Boston, Mass., Aug. '. The week's
work for President Roosevelt in his
trip through New England began in
earnest yesterday afternoon, when he
departed from the summer home of
the junior senator of Massachusetts,
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, at Nahant.
and, amid the enthusiasm of the great
est number of people he has faced since
the Pittsburg visit on July 4, rode Into
Lynn under cavalry escort und Bpoke
from a platform at City Hall. Then
he was taken to Boston by special
train, and on his arrival went to Sym
phony Hall, there addressing a great
gathering of Boston business men. His
speech here waa devoted almost en
tirely to consideration of the trust
question.
President Roosevelt's speech in part
was as follows:
"I wish to say that I have not come
here to say that I have discovered a
patent cure-all for the trusts. It is
worse than useles for any of us to rail
at or regret the great growth in indus
trial civilization of the last half cen
tury. There is but little use in regret
ting that things have not shaped them
selves differently. The practical thing
to do is to face the conditions as they
are and see if we cannot get the best
there is in them out of them. We are
not going to get any complete or perfect
solution for all of the evils which come
to our minds when we think of the
trusts by any single action on our part.
A good many actions in a good many
different ways will be required bofore
we get many of those evils even par
tially remedied.
"1 am inclined to think that much
the greatest trouble In any immediate
handling of the question of the trust
comes from our system of government.
Remember, I am not saying that even
if we had all the power we could com
pletely -solve the trust question. Gen
tlemen, If what we read in the papers
is true, they are speaking of a number
of international trusts now. It would
be very difficult for any set of laws, on
our part, to deal completely with a
problem which becomes International
In Its bearings, but a great deal can
be done in various ways.
"Some time ago the attorney general
took action against a certain trust.
There has been considerable discussion
as to whether the trust aimed at would
not seek to get out from under the law
by becoming a single corporation. I
want laws to enable us to deal with it
no matter what shape it takes. I want
to see the government able to get at it
differently, so that the action of the
government cannot be evaded by any
turning, within or without federal or
state statutes. At present we have
really no efficient control over a big
corporation which does business in
more than one state.
"The first thing we want Is publicity,
and I do not mean publicity as favored
by some corporations. I want the
knowledge given to the accredited rep
resentatives of the people of facts on
which those representatives can, if
they f-eo fit, base their actions later.
The publicity Itself would cure many
evils. As far as the anti-trust laws go
they will be enforced. No suit will be
undertaken for the sake of seeming to
undertake it. Every suit that Is un
dertaken will be begun because the
great lawyer and upright man whom
we are so fortunate as to have as at
torney general, Mr. Knox, believes that
there is a violation of the law which
we can get at, and when the suit is
undertaken it won't be compromised
excepting on the basis that the govern
ment wins. Of course, gentlemen, no
laws amount to anything unless they
are administered honestly and fear
lessly." This morning bright and early the
presidential party started for Maine.

Digesters In Wilmington Mill Blows
Up and Shakes the City.
SEVENTEEN DEAD; FOUR HURT
There Were Two Reports, and In An
Instant the Building and Mills Were
Completely Wrecked Fire Added
to the Horror.
Wilmington, Del, Aug. Seven
teen were killed and four others
were badly injured by the explosion
of two steel digesters in the Delaware
pulp mills of the Jessup & Moore Pa
per Company, on the Christiana river,
yesterday afternoon. The dead are:
John McCormick, William T. Burke,
Granville Walters, James B. Stokes,
Franklin T. Hairis, George N. Wright,
Joseph Laubacher, Joseph Nagle,
Zacharlas Collins, George Durham,
James Jester, William Ruth, E. N.
Mousley, Bernard Sweeney, William
Scott, Joseph Henry and Joel Hutton.
The digesters were located in a two
story burlding. There were ten of
them in the building, each one resem
bling a vat, and about six feet in
diameter. They were used for reduc
ing wood to pulp. Eighteen men were
at work in the building. There were
two terrific reports, and the next in
stant the building and other mills
about the structure were completely
wrecked. One digester was blown in
to the air and fell to the ground 250
feet away. The whole city was shaken.
A dense volume di smoke for a time
prevented the outside workmen from
going to the Immediate rescue of those
who were caught in the ruins of the
falling building. Several men made
their escape without any injury. An
alarm ot Are was sounded, and the en
tire fire department of the city -and a
large force of police were soon on the
ground, and the work ot rescue was
Immediately begun. Several workmen
were taken out unconscious, only to die
after being removed to hospitals. The
wreckage was piled up for more than
30 feet, and the escaping steam made
the work of rescue rather difficult.
Those who were not killed outright
were mangled and burned by escaping
acid, that flowed over their bodies from
the broken ulgesters. To add to tin
horror of the disaster the wreckage
took fire, but after some difficulty the
fire department managed to subdue the
flames, and the work of rescue was
continued.
Steam was used in 'the digesters. Tho
officers of the company think that too
much steam was generated in them,
and that this was the cause of the ex
plosion. The monetary loss is esti
mated at $35,000.
SWIMMER CARRIED OUT TO SEA
New Rocheile Man Given Up For Dead
" Arrives Home.
New York, Aug. 26. Henry W. Hol
lenberg, who disappeared from Coney
Island two weeks ago, and who was
supposed to have been drowned, ar
rived at his home In New Rocheile yes
terday. He said he was landed there
by a Ashing smack by which he had
been picked up at sea. Hollenberg's
story Is that he was carried out to sea
by the undertow while In swimming.
His cries for help attracted no atten
tion from the crowds on the beach,
and he had been carried out a long dis
tance, when he managed to get hold of
a piece of wreckage that drifted toward
him, and by means of this he supported
himself until rescued by the fishing
smack. He was dressed in an old suit
of clothes, which he said had been
given him by the captain of the fishing
vessel.
A man named Gray was d owned at
Coney Island on the day of Hollen
berg's disappearance. His body was re
covered. Before It was found the po
lice entertained a theory that Gray and
Hollenberg had gone away together and
had left suits of clothing in a bathing
house to give the Impression that they
had been drowned.

nese embassy during the incumbency
of Mr. Chang some years ago he be
came very popular in cnbinet circles.
His diplomatic accomplishment has
been conceded by the various special
appointments he has filled. On a mis
sion to Japan, and later to London, ou
the occasion of the queen's jubilee, and
as one of the party sent to Germany
as apologists for the murder of Huron

His latest position has been that of

His work at the jubilee secured his
knighthood.
As to the United States' relations
with China, Sir Liang Chen Tung said
recently in Paris:
"You can assert emphatically that
not only the Chinese government, but
the people of China, are most grate
ful for the United States' fairAlealing
and for the friendly disposition shown
throughout the recent difficulties, and
her late action in the Tientsin ques

gratitude. The United States will cer

empire.
