CONTEST FOUNDER'S TITLE.
City Council Claim That Property
Valued at Over (1,000,000 It
- " Public Domain,
, I '
' Fottndor Bradley will have to de
fend his title to the Anbury Tark,
Now jersey, bca-h front and board
walk and the public parka and lakes.
The city roiinrll think It has discov
ered that all these holdings are pub
lie property and Is going after thorn.
The elty 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 mipenr on the original
maps of Asbury Park as bavins been
dedicated to the people. The resolu
tion Is the outcome of a discovery
made by Dr. Bruce S. Keator, council-man-ttt-large,
who Is ono of Ihe larg
est property owners In the city. Dr.
Keator's attention was called, a short
time ago. to tho Spring Lake suit
brought to declare the lake at that
resort to be the property of the bor
ough. Ho thought that the principles
laid down by tho court In that case,
which was decided In favor of the
borough, would apply to the Asbury
Parle beach front. I-awyers were con
sulted and the original maps of As
bury Park on file at Freehold were
closely examined. Tho maps showed
that the beach front, Including tho
strip over which the boardwalk was
laid, had been dedicated to the public,
and that tho city line ran out to the
ocean. Many of the parks now claim
ed by Mr. Bradley were also marked
"public squire" or "park," and under
tho ruling of the courts, It Is con
tended, dedicated to the public. Many
old am tiers 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. Llndabury, of Elizabeth,
to whom tho 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 sought to obtain control
of the boardwalk. Four years ago
Mr. Bradley offered to sell his beactt
domain to the people for $150,000.
Enabling bills were passed by the leg
islature, and all the preliminaries
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 $3n0,000. Mr. Bradley
is mayor of the city and can veto the
aots rt 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 band over the beach parks
and lakes will bo made at once, and
the case advanced, if possible, so that
the Issue may be tried In January at
Freehold.

ed In the W'hlto House. It wns decld
ed that the executive force should be

White House, la a little more than
$50,000. It Is ono story In height. On
the first floor the most prominent
apartment are the office of the Presi
dent and the cabinet room, which
open into each other. They are large,
well lighted and airy. The walls are
covered with olive-colored tapestry,
and curtains of the same tone drapo
the windows. The furniture is of
mahogany and the cabinet table a
tnaaslve affair. Around it are placed
ten chairs, one for the President, otio
for each of the eight members of the
cabinet, and a ninth, which, It Is ex
pected, will become th? position of
the secretary of the department of
commerce, which It Is the desire of
tho President that Congress shall
create. Secretary Cortclyou's office
adjoins that of the President.
HARNESSING GLACIAL WATERS.

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 plan
Is to "construct from the glacier a
flume 14 miles long, through which a
head of water will flow sufficient to
generate 60,000 horse-power. The
water ir. 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
be transmitted at high voltage to Ta

III REVOLUTION HIS COUN.
CASTRO IS IN LUCK.
Ammunition Gives Out and Rebel
Leaders Part in Quarrel Reb
els Flee In Disorder. .
News has been received at La Vic
toria. Venezuela, of tho retreat of the
revolutionary forces. On tho night of
November 1 tho revolutionists with
drew from their positions nuar La
Victoria nnd Snn Mateo because they
were without uminutritlon Tho fact
that the rebels lacked cartridges
caused a disagreement between Gen
eral Matos and General Rolando,
which was followed by hpt words.
General Rolando declared that the
shortage of ammunition was the fault
of General Matos, and that If the suc
cors 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 Orncla. It Is re
ported that General Rolando pro
claimed "El Mocho" Hernader, 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 to be pursued day and
night by government soldiers. The
latest report Issued by the govern
ment says Generals Matos, Mendo.a
and Rlora and their commands am
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 Caatro certain records
nnd documents belonging to members
of General Matos' personal staff, as
well as tho general s personal cor
respondence. The contents of these
naoers give evidence of the critical
situation of tho leaders of the revolu
tion. It la difficult to understand the
apparent, 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 off
the retrcsit of the enemy, loft for
Caracas. The government soldiers
who are following up the robels
scored their first success tx? the cap
turo of General Ramon Lulzl. who
was making his way In the direction
of Alta Gracla with 300.000 rounds of
ammunition and 4.060 men to rein
force the revolutionists. From La
Victoria President Castro goes to Los
Teques, which point was abandoned
by the rnbels. From Jjob leques the
nresldent will go by rail to Caracas.
nnd will then resume his place at the
head of the government.

rtrr.t vlultid the Potts colliery In Co
lumbia county, owned by tho Phila

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 Ashllnnd. Glrardvlllo and
Oilberton to the Maple Hill colliery
of the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany In tho Mahanoy valley, a few
miles from Shenandoah. This Is one
of the beat mines In the field, and Is
equipped with all modern appllanec3.

and Navigation Company of Coaldnle.
The entrance to the mines was
through a drift. About 100 feet In

tom, 850 feet down. This proved to
be quite wet and every one In the
party got a wetting. As tho members
of tho commission passed along the
gangway on the mine cars drawn by
mules they went undrir worked-out
chutes, from which water flowed In

to climb a ladder and crawl over

Entraining Fanatics at Mlnnedosa
Was Exciting Trial for Police.
Phalanx Opposed Them.
Another chapter In tho history of
the Doukhobors' pllgrlmagn In Can
ada to convert the world has closed,
but- with the ending, "to be con
tinued." The Doukholjors were taken
charge of by tho civil authorities and
taken by miectal train from Minne
sota to Yorkton, where thry wore
kept In tho cars, closely guarded by
Northwest mounted police. Although
victorious at Mlnnedosa, It. Is a ques
tion yet to he decided If tho govern
ment will not be defeated In the final
effort to get tho Doukhobors back to
their villages. If tho fight to move
t.iem loo yards Is any example of
what tho government has to contend
with. It will take a much larger foreo
to mov? the Doukhobors tho 100 miles
to their villages, which are that dis
tance from Yorkton. Minnedosa dis
patches report eiormy scenes during
the entraining of t.ie pilgrims there.
After repeated Interviews with Selk
roff. the leader of tho fanatics, Arcent
Spears decided to use fore, and
grabbing the leader by the shoulders
pushed him out of the building lu
which the Doukhobors 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
commenced. 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 ono
Doukhobor from the Interlocked
"ntnss. The majority fought every
Inch of the ground. The scene was
one never equaled In Canada, a sul
len, stubborn mob of people, flghtim;
fiercely with police and citizens, not
In the mode of warfare, but wanting
only to bo left alone and allowed to
go on their way. A few went to the
coaches alone, but the majority were
carried bodily, dragged, p-ished along,
or loaded Jnto the wagons of farm
ers who had gathered to see the fight.
The Doukhobors are a set of pfioplo
with a Strang? religion, nearly ap

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Shows Good Progress and
Heavy Distribution of Fall
GoodsCut In Tin.
R. O. Dun ft Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Trade and Industry
are making steady progress, reports
from all sections of the country con
taining evidences of wholesome de
velopment. An unusually large fall
distribution occurred, and current
transactions in heavier goods are
liberal, considering tho mildness of
the season. Complaints of slow
freight movement are still heard, tes
tifying to the enormous volume of
business handled by the railways,
which report earnings for October
4.8 per cent larger than last year and
12.4 por cent above 1900. Prices of
commodities proportioned to con
sumption, as shown by Dun's index
number declined about 1 per cent
during October. The decrease oc
curred in meats and fuel, mainly the
latter. The only development of note
In the iron and steel market has been
the 10 per cent reduction In prices of
tin plates, to take effect December 1.
While some change was anticipated,
the trade was not prepared for so
large a cut. If the recent lowering
of price lists in certain sections of
the market should stimulate foreign
trade. th.re will be occasion for grat
ification, as some exceptional export
movement Is needed to offset tha
heavy Imports of pig iron and billets.
Many furnaces have been compelled
to bank because of the poor receipts
of coke, and there is little evidence
of improvement, in tho railway situa
tion, motive power being utterly in
adequate. Contracts run far Into the
future In structural material for
bridges and buildings, while plates
are sought by car works and ship
yards. High premiums are still paid
for prompt delivery, but most ship
ments are on old contracts placed at
regular list prices. Recent enlarge
ment of facilities bas greatly In
creased production in many lines,
which explains the slightly easier
tone of the market as a whole, but
there is no evidence of diminished
demand nor -unsound conditions.
Taking of inventories Interrupts work
at New England shoe shops, and will
probably occupy much of this month,
so that cutting will not begin on the
large contracts already placed for
delivery during the first quarter of
next year. Business fnllures in the
United States for tha week ending
Thursday, November 6, number 148,
as against 194 latt week, 101' in this
week lost year, 161 In
1900,
1899 and 187 In 1898.
The secretary of the treasury
discontinued the acceptance of b
and municipal bonds as security
public deposits. The amount of
nlclpal and state bonds so deposit'
aggregates roundly S 17,000,00'
Transactions in process will be coot
Dieted and will slightly Increase tho
treasury's holdings of these securt-J
ties.
