ASBURY PARK BAGH OWNERSHIP.
CONTEST FOUNDER’S TITLE.
City Council Claim That Property
Valued at Over $1,000,000 Is
Public Domain,
Founder Bradley will have to de-
fend his title to the Asbury Park,
New Jersey. beach front and board-
wall: and the public parks and lakes.
The city council thinks it has discov-
ered that all these holdings are pub-
lic property and is going after them.
The city council has passed unani-
mously a resolution that a special
beach and park committee appointed
to investigate the question of the city
ownership make formal demand on
Mr. Bradley for possession of all prop-
erties that appear on the original
maps of Asbury Park as having been
dedicated to the people. The resotu-
tion is the outcome of a diseovery
made by Dr. Bruce S. Keator, council-
man-at-large, who is one of the larg-
est property ownqars in the city. Dr.
Keator’s attention was called, a short
time ago, te the Spring Lake suit
brought to declare the lake at that
resort to be the property of the bor-
ough. He thought that the principles
aid down by the court in that case,
which was decided in favor of the
borough, would apply to the Asbury
Park beach front. Lawyers were con-
sulted and the original maps of As-
bury Park on file at Freehold were
clescly examined. The maps showed
that the beach front, including the
strip over which the boardwalk was
laid, had been dedicated to the public
and that the city line ran out to the
ocean. Many of the parks now claim-
ed by Mr. Bradley were also marked
“public square” or “park,” and under
the ruling of the courts, it is con-
tended, dedicated to the public. Many
old sdaitlers who had bought property
from Mr. Bradley in the early 70s
were interviewed, and they all said
that the beach front, parks and lakes
were represented to them, at the time
of their purchases, as public prop-
erty. R. V. Lindabury, of Elizabeth,
to whem the case was submitted, ren-
dered an opinion in which he declared
that the beach and other property de-
scribed belonged to the people, and
that Mr. Bradley was an usurper on
the public domain. City Solicitor
John F. Hawkins and Counselor
Frank Durand, of Asbury Park, con-
curred in this opinion. For ten years
the city has souzht to obtain control
of the boardwalk. Four years ago
Mr. Bradley offered to sell his beaca
domain to the people for $150,000.
Enabling bills were passed by the leg
islature, and all the preluntnaricn
seemed satisfactorily adjusted. Then |
the scheme collapsed. "Mr. Bradley |
wouldn’t sell. The Asbury Park beach |
front is valued at from $500,000 to $1.-|
000,000. The disputed parks are |
worth at least $500,000. Mr. Bradley
is mayor of the city and can veto the
acts of the council. This fact, how-
ever, is regarded as of no advantage.
The council is unanimous on the ques-
tion and can overrule him. The de-
mand to hand over the beach parks
and lakes will be made at once, and
the case advanced, if possible, so that
the issue may be tried in January at”
Freehold.

The Holland submarine boat Gram-

machinery gave every satisfaction.

WHITE HOUSE ANNEX.
For the First Time President Roose-
velt Uses the New Executive
Office Building.
President Roosevelt Thursday, No-
vember 6, for the first time trans-
acted busincss in the new executive
office builidng just west of the White
House and opposite the navy depart:
ment. ‘The first cabinet meeting held
since July was held there on Friday.
The building is designed as a temppo-
rary structure, but probably will
house the labors of the President for
a half decade at least. It was planned
when President Roosevelt found both
his family and his office force cramp-
ed in the White House. It was decid:
ed that the executive force should be
removed from the White House, and
that the historic building should be
a dwelling place: only. 'T'he cost of
the office building, which in architec-
tural design harmonizes with the
White House, is a little more than
$50,000. It is one story in height, On
the first floor the most prominent
apartments are the office of the Presi-
dent and the cabinet room, which
onen into each other. They are large,
well lighted and airy. The walls are
covered with olive-colored tapestry,
and curtains of the same tone drape
the windows. The furniture is of
mahoganly and the cabinet table a
massive affair. Around it are placed
ten chairs, one for the President, oue
for each of the eight members of the
cabinet, and a ninth, which, it is ex-
pected, will become the position of
the secretary of the department of
commerce, which it is the desire of
the Presidemt that Congress shall
create. Secretary Cortelyou’s office
adjoins that of the President.
HARNESSING GLACIAL WATERS.
Ice Crest of a Mountain to Furnish
Electric Power.
Engineers are being sent from Bos-
ton to Tacoma and Seattle to begin
work on harnessing the waters of the
Payallup glacier on Mt. Tacoma,
State of Washington, for commercial
purposes. It is claimed that if suc-
cessful this will be the first instance
where glacial waters have been used
directly to provide power. The pian
is to construct from the glacier a
flume 14 miles long, through which a
head of water will flow sufficient to
generate 50,000 horse-power. The
water in running through the flume
will drop 600 feet and through pen-
stocks will be diverted into turbines
connected with electric generators.
A three-phase alternating current will
jhe transmitted at high voltage to Ta-
coma and Seattle.

THE REVOLUTION AS COLLAPSED.
CASTRO IS IN LUCK.
Ammunition Gives Out and Rebel
Leaders Part in Quarrel—Reb-
eis Flee in Disorder.
News has been received at La Vic-
toria, Venezuela, of the retreat of the
revolutionary forces. On the night of
November 1 the revolutionists with-
their positions naar La
Victoria and San Matec because they
were without ammunition. The fact
that the rebels lacked cartridges
caused a disagreement between Gen-
eral Matos and (eneral Rolando,
which was followed by hot words.
General Rolando declared that the
shortage of ammunition was the fault
of General Matos, and that if the suec-
cass of the revolution was endanger-
ed by this condition General Matos
alone was responsible. He said all
was, lost, and, with ‘his followers,
about 3, 200 men, he withdrew from
the main body of the rebels in the
direction of Alta Gracia. It is re-
ported that General Relando pro-
claimed “El Mocho” Hernadez as the
leader of the revolution. President
Castro, since he discovered that the
revolutionists retreated only because
of their lack of ammunition, has
caused them tc be pursued day and
night by government soldiers. The
latest report issued by the govern-
ment says Generals Matos, Mendoza
and Riora and their commands are
fleeing in disorder in an effort to
reach the mountainous districts.
Guerrillas in the service of the gov-
ernment have captured and brought
to President Castro certain records
and dccuments belonging to members
of General Matos’ personal staff, as
well as the general's personal cor-
respondence. The contents of these
papers give evidence of the critical
situation of the leaders of the revolu-
tion. It is difficult to understand the
apparcnt, sudden and complete col-
lapse of the revolutionary movement.
But a few days ago the rebels seemed
to be upon the eve of victory, while
to-day their cause seems absolutely
lost. President Castro, having sent
his men in all directions to cut of:
the retreat of the enemy, left for
Caracas. The government soldiers
who are following up the rebels
scored their first success hy the cape
ture of General Ramon Luizi, who
was making his way in the direction
of Alta Gracia with 300,000 rounds of
ammunition and 4,060 men to rein-
force ithe revolutionists. From La
Victoria President Castro goes to Los
which point was abandoned
by the rebels. From Los leques the
president will go by rail to Caracas,
and will then resume his place at the
hcad of the governmeni.
ELEVEN KILLED.
Aerial Bomb Ignited by Explosion of
Fireworks. ;
By the premature explosion of four
boxes containing aerial bombs
and other fireworks, in New
York city, eleven persons were
killed and twenty badly injured. The
names of the dead are: Policeman
Dennis Shea, William G. Finney, Geo.
Ritz, Harold Robley, five unknown
men, unknown colored man, unknown
colored boy, Frank Marill, Will G.
Feeney, two unknown colored Dboys,
two unknown white boys, George
Ritz. Under the auspices of the New
York American fireworks were being
exploded in celebration of the victory
of William R. Hearst, who was elected
representative in congress. The dis-
play centered south of the Madison
Square garden, at the intersection of
Madison avenue and Twenty-fourth
street. At that point a small space
had been kept clear by the police
with difficulty. Sparks from Roman
candles, which were being discharged,
fell into the open boxes, which were
closely packed with large aerial
bombs. At the same moment one of
the bombs, which had just been touch-
ed off, exploded permaturely, hurl-
ing sparks and fire in every direction.
Twelve men who were in charge of
the fireworks display were arrested
soon after the explosion and taken to
police headquarters.
THEOSOPHISTS BALKED.
They Will Not Get Possession of the
Cuban Children.
The immigration board of special
inquiry at New York decided to ex-

Buddhist colony at Point Loma, Cal.
Commissioner Williams is. holding
them at’ Ellis Island, but has placed
them in his own private rooms. The
treasury department has directed that
the children be detained at the island
until the character and responsibility
of the Buddhist school, which is con-
ducted by the Universal Brotherhood,
can be ascertained.
MIDDIES’ TIME SHORTER.
Need for Naval Otoers Reduces the
Course at Annapolis.
Orders were issued at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis reducing the

pressing need of naval officers. The
present first class, which would have
been graduated in June, 1903, will be
graduated in February of that year,
and the class of 1904 will be graduat-
ed in February instead of June, 1904.
The present third class, 1305, will be
graduated in June, 1904.

[TOUR OF STRIKE REGION IS ENDED.
ARBITRATORS’ DAMP RIDE.
The Commission Complete Their In-
spection of Collieries and Adjourn
Until November 14.
The anthracite strike commission
ended its tour of observation of the
coal fields in the Panther Creek val-
ley Wednesday, and the members of
the party have returned te their
homes, ‘but will meet again at Scran-
ton on November 14 to take the testi-
mony of the miners. The comission-
ers made a complete inspection of
two. large collieries and a tour of the
region between Mount Carmel and
Mahanoy City. The commissioners
first visited the Potts colliery in Co-
lumbia county, owned by the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company. The breaker of this col-
liery is different from those seen by
the commissioners at other places.
From there the train proceeded
through to Ashland. Girardville and
Gilberton to the Maple Hill colliery
of the Philadelphia and Reading Com-
pany in the Mahanoy valley, a few
miles from Shenandoah. This is one
of the best mines in the field, and is
equipped with all modern appliances.
The bottom of the shaft is 730 feet
below the surface, apd during their
two hours’ stay in the working the
commissioners went about a mile and
a bhfalf from the shaft. ‘The whistle
blew the noon hour just as the party
came to the surface. From the Mapie
Hill colliery the commissioners’ train
was run down through Mahanoy City
and Tamaqua to the Panther Creck
valley. Then the arbitrators visited
the No. 8 colliery of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company of Coaldale.
The entrance to the mines was
through a drift. About 100 feet in-
side the entrance fhe party was low-
ered by means of a shaft to the bot
tom, 850 feet down. This proved to
he quite wet and every one in the
party got a wetting. As the members
of the commission passed along the
gangway on the mine cars drawn by
mules they went under worked-out
chutes, from which water flowed in
streams. While going under one
chute thie mules stopped and the
water fell into one of the cars, thor-
oughly soaking all its occupants. The
commisioners in the other cars took
it as a joke on their colleagues, who
were directly under the chute. To get
into the chute the commissicners had
to climb a ladder and crawl over
broken coal through a small opening.
Their hands and faces were smeared
with coal dust when they came out.
After leaving the mine ia numbers of
idle mine workers crowded around
Chairman Gray, of the commission,
and told him that they had been dis-
criminated against hy the company
in the matter of getting their old
places hack. They said Superintend-
ent Behner would not take them back
for some reason unknown to them,
and that other men had been given
their positions. On the other hand,
the company officials claimed that
they have not enough work gait this
time for wali the men, on account of
repair work now being done in the
mings. Judge Gray made no com:-
ment.
PRAISE FOR THE ARMY.
Gen. Miles Declares It Was Never in
Better Condition.
The annual report of Lieutenant
General ‘Miles reiterates what he said
in 1896, that ‘‘the personnel of the
army was never in better condition.”
He adds: “This was proven to be
true by the fortitude, skill and heroism
displayed in every ‘serious campaign
on every field of mortal combat wher:
ever the army has been engaged in
any part of the world during the last
four years. During that time many
changes have occurred and the army
has been very largely increased. The
long and varied service of the senior
officers, their experience in organiz-
ing, disciplining, instructing and lead-
ing their commands, as well as the
excellent discipline, instruction and
exemplary conduct of the soldiers of
the army of ’98, have been the leaven
of the army of the present time. Evils
may creep into any system or great
organization. Such as have affected
our army have been or will be eradi-
cated.”

DOUKHOBOR PILGRIMS.
Entralning Fanatics at Minnedosa
Was Exciting Trial for Police.
Phalanx Opposed Them.
Another chapter in the history of
the Doukhobors’ pilgrimage in Can-
ada to convert the world has closed,
but with +the ending, “tc be con-
tinued.” The Doukhobors were taken
charge of by the civil authorities and
taken by special train from Minne-
sota to Yorkton, where they were
kept in the cars, closely guarded by
Northwest mounted police. Although
victorious at Minnedosa, it is a ques-
tion yet to be decided if the govern-
ment will not be defeated in the final
effort to get the Doukhobors back to
their villages. If the fight to move
them 100 yards is any example of
what the government has to contend
with, it will take a much larger force
to move the Doukhobors the 100 miles
to their villages, which are that dis-
tance from. Yorkton. Minnedosa dis-
patches report sormy scenes during
the entraining of the pilgrims there.
After repeated interviews with Seik-
roff, the leader of the fanatics, Ajzent
Spears decided to use fore,
grabbing the leader by the shoulders,
pushed him out of the building in
which the Doukhohors had spent the
night, at the same time calling upon
the policemen to bring the rest. As
they came out the fanatics locked
themselves together, each man cling-
ing to his neighbor, thus making a
solid body. Then the excitement
commencad. The citizens turned out
to help the police, but it was hard
work to pry the fanatics apart, four
or five men being needed to pull one
Doukhobor from the interlocked
mass. The majority fought every
inch of the ground. The scene was
one never equaled in Canada, a sul-
len, stubborn mob of people, fighting

ishing in the cold northern latitudes
