' Speaking at the propoaed Isthmian ship
canal, Mr. Hill declared he would not lay
a atraw In the way of Ita construction at
an expense of soma 1500,000,000, but In his
opinion $36,000,000 to $40,000,0.00 spent la
deepening tbe channel of tbe Mississippi be
tween New Orleana and St. Louis would give
far better results In tbe end. Aa to money
apent en the Improvement of the upper
watera of that aame river, he thought It
would be much better Invested in Irrigating
the arid regions of the great west. The
railroads were not In the habit of taking
Into consideration river rates north of St.
Louis In fixing their railroad rates, for the
reason that the river butlnesa In tbat sec
tion was comparatively small and of little
value. '
He suggested that for Irrigation It would
be the beat plan for the government to Irri
gate and develop 1,000 acres of land at a
probable expense of $5 or $10 an acre, then
ell It for from $15 to $20 an acre, thereby
creating a fund from which to carry, on fur
ther Irrigation schemea without any expense
beyond that first Involved.

be the most profitable Investment, Instating
that chief attention should be paid to the
farm producta throughout the entire west
ern country and that It would prove to be
poor policy to depend on the development
of alower manufacturing enterprises or on
the less aura mining wealth of the west
The rallroada wanted products which would

LONDON, Aug. 20. Mall advices received
tere from Johannesburg indicate that the
negro problem, la growing mora acute and
Is cauelng the authoritlea Infinite worry.
T6 quote tbe words of one of tha fore
most South African authorities:
On the action of the natlvea dependa the
Whole future of tha new colonies whether
the Boers will loyally accept British rule
or continue In a state- of . sullen resent
ment. Among the Immediate dangers na
tive attacks on Boers returning to their
farms and attempts of natives to aaaault
white women, are threatening to lead to
btacka" con.",ctjf tweeny Boers ' and
Under the old regime Uia -crude but
almple retribution for aaaaulta on women
waa shooting on. sight. , Now, however,
there la no legislation orl the aubject end
the English authorities are hesitating to
enact lawa until ah the parties concerned
can voice their opinions.
The hesitancy to deal summarily with
the natlvea la -oauainr both .Boers and
Afrikanders Intense Irritation and en
courages the blacks to truculent effrontery.
, Another phase of the problem la the
pnwllllngneaa of (h-blacks to forego -their
lasy existence In the concentration pamps,
Where' thousands' were gathered during the
war, and far more serloua Is the fact that
a great number of blacks In the country
have managed to secure arms.
There la, therefore, the anomalous sltu-
f tion of unarmed' whites and armed blacks

favor universal diaarmament of the natives

Naval officers hers generally agree that
the 'ehancea against the '"white"-squadron
In tha game which id on, era very great,
and . that practically' Ita' only chance of
success would lid in the existence of a
heavy fog under which Commander Pills
bury might slip through tha squadron of
acouta, and reactran'trndefended ahore. Tha
distance between Caps Cod",' tha southern
extremity of ths coast defended by Admiral
Hlgglnson'a fleet, and Portland, Is only
about 100 miles. la addition to ths torpedo
craft and his light ships, which he could use
as' scouts, are strung-along' between these
points, almoat within atgnal dlstsnce of
each ' other, ' while ' the bvUr ships wera
held together ready to movo atsOoe central
point, Admiral Hlggtaaow tis stationed ea
trti 1 sine the -ahera tajr rnnrt
enemy the Instant It" ls'slikted; These
naval officers will be reinforced by all ma
rina observers along tba coast
Mack Elected of White Ifsairoa.
To win tha White aquadroa muat ba la
sort for tlx hours without belna eon-
fronted with a superior force. Within
that time after tha White squadron waa
alghted Admiral HlRglnson, If he held his
heavy ships midway between the two ex
tremities of the line to be defended, st
Rockport, for Instance, could reach hit
enemy by stesmlng ten or eleven knots an
hour. From Cape Ann, JJust outside of
Rockport, to Cape Cod Is only forty-two
and a half miles and from Cape Ann. to
Elizabeth light, outside of Portland, la only
fifty-eight miles.
Another feature of the situation which
will militate against the chances of tha
White squadron la the Instruction which
requires Commander Pllisbury to enter
"an undefended harbor," one "with deep
water approaches," with "six fathoms" of
water, xna capable of defense by "guns and
mines" and one In which heavy ships
could anchor. These restrictions will con
fine him to lesa than a dozen harbors,
among them Portsmouth, Rockport, Salem
and Provlncetown. None of the many
other ports, Gloucester,. Manchester, Bev
erly, Marblehead, above Boston, or Ply
mouth, Barnstable and the other ports be
low would be, available.
A full moon la another factor against
the- enemy's success. In "the circum
stances the naval experta generally agree
that an' attempt to strike the coast dur
ing the daytime would bs foolhardy for the
attacking fleet, but at night with thick
weather it might be possible for Com
mander Plllsbury, with hie ahlps dark
ened, to creep in paat the scouts and
quietly anchor without being reported un
til too late for Admiral Hlgglnaon to reach
him with a superior force. The speed of
Commander Plllsbury'a fastest ship la 14.9
knots. Panther can make thirteen, but
Supply only nine and a half, so that if the
fleet is kept together as his instructions
direct the speed of his squadron cannot be
more than Its slowest unit, namely nlno
and a halt knots. If sighted outside,
therefore, . by one of the swift torpedo
boats, which ran make from twenty to
twenty-five knots an hour, the scout could
scoot away to the nearest land port and
report the enemy to Admiral Hlgglnson,
who could be on his way to Intercept him
before tbe latter could reach his destination.
PRACTICE AT FORT RILEY
Nebraska to Send Two Regiments to
Tale Part In Work at
the Port.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. An order waa
Issued at the War department today direct
ing the mobilisation of a mixed division
of regulars and militia, on the large reser
vation at Fort Riley. Kan. The regular
troopa to participate in the encampment and
attending maneuvers at that point com
prise the following organlzationa:
First battalion of. Englneera and head
quarters band; First and Second squadrons,
Fourth cavalry; Third aquadroa. Eighth
cavalry; Sixth, Seventh, Nineteenth, Twen
tieth and Twenty-eighth batterlee Field
artillery; headquarters band and twelve
companies. Sixth United States Infantry;
headquarters band and twelve companies,
Twenty-second United . States infantry;
headquarters band and Eighteenth United
Si.ai.aa iutauiiy, excepting Company L; ae
tachment of the Signal corps; detachment
of tbe Hospital corps.
Tha governors of all the states were In
vited to send a contingent pf .the various
state forces to participate in theae maneuv
ers, but for want of appropriationa and
varloua other causes, very few of tba atatea
found themselves- able at this lata date
to participate.
Arkansaa will send one battalion of In
fantry,: Kansas two1 regiments of-Infantry
and two batterlee of field 'artillery, and
Nebraska two regiments of Infantry. A
numbere of governors of states have sig
nified their Intention to send officers to
witness the maneuvers and have expressed
the hope that they may be able, In future
years, to furnish organizations to take part
In such practical work, which will be of
great benefit to all participating.
It la expected that President Rooaevelt
will review the troopa participating in tho
maneuvers, but the date of the review haa
not been determined definitely.
Tha regular contingent of the division
will go into camp at Fort Riley September
20 and will be followed by tha state or
ganizations September 29. It la Intended
to continue joint maneuvers for a period
of ten days after the division Is organized.
In order not to interfere with the current
work of ths varloua department headquar
tera a special division staff has been de
tailed to report to Major General John C.
Batea, who has-been aaslgned to tha com
mand of the division during the maneuvers.
The benefits to be derived from bringing
together regiments, brigade and divisions
la so apparent that the War department
haa fully determined upon tbta policy for
tha future. Many of the states have per
manent maneuvers for ' their national
guards during tha summer months, and the
result has been extremely beueflclal to all
those organizations. The regular army
has bad an abundance of field service dur
ing the past four years, but nearly all the
recent work In tba Philippine islands haa
been done by small detachments, fre
quently mere squads.
It la probabls that the maneuvers for
tbia year will include instruction in ad
vance and rear guard patrolling,, passage
of "defiles; -defenaa of convoys, marches
Of concentration, attack, and defense of po
sitions, use of pontoon bridges and com
bined maneuvera of tha three arms.
The following officers hsve been assigned
to duty on the staff of General Bates and
have been directed to report at Fort Riley
not later than September 20: Major J. W.
McClernand, cavalry, adjutant general;
Lieutenant Colonel S. C. Mills. Inspector
general; Captain C. B. Baker, chief quar
termaster; Captain H. J. Gallagher, chief
commlaaary; Lieutenant Colonel John Van

CONFUSES BARTHOLIN CASE

s,prla;ere Testlaaoay.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. The terdlct of a
coroner's Jury today practically leaves sny
further Investigation as to the supposed
death of Minnie Mitchell to the September
grand Jury. State Attorney Deneen will re
turn to the city soon and will take up the
charges against Thompson, Oaffey and
Counsel man. ..
More tangible resulta are expected from
the postponed Inquest In the case of Mra.
Anne Bartholin which will bs resumed to
morrow. For this murder Oscar Thompson
Is held aa principal and Counselman and
Claffy as accessories, although William
Bartholin Is being sought on the suspicion
of matricide as well as for the murder of
his fiancee.
While the important testimony of the
wlgmaker, who Identified the switch of
false hair ae one she had made for Minnie
Mltcheih came to help the theory of the
police that the body wae that of Mlsa Mit
chell, Dr. Joseph Springer, the coroner's
physician, steadfastly maintained that It
was not her body and gave the coroner tbe
following statement: "On August S I held
a postmortem examination upon the body
of an unknown woman (unidentified). On
Inspection I found the body In a bad state
of decomposition. I found the scalp,
shoulders and arms totally destroyed by
absorption. 'I found' the abdomen con
tracted, tha: akin dried and the tissues 'of
the pelvis destroyed by absorption. 1
found a bullet hole one-fcurth on an Inch
In diameter In tbe 'center of tbe back of the
head, In the renter of the occipital bone.
On opening the skull I found tbe brain
totally destroyed, the skull empty, t found
a small flattened bullet lying at the baae,
the vertebrae of the back protruding and
the tissues destroyed. In my opinion the
aald unknown Woman came to her death
from a bullet wound In tbe head."
No Quicklime I'aed.
Dr. Springer declared It wae his opinion
that death- must have occurred from nine
to twelve weeks preceding the finding of
the body, In order to allow the disintegra
tion of the body as .it was found. He de
clared that quicklime had not been used.
Thus, after an Investigation by the Chi
cago police extending .over a fortnight and
two days' coroner's inquest, the authorities
are still in doubt whether the body of the
murdered woman found in the field at Seventy-fourth
and State streets waa really
that of Minnie. Mitchell. Three men stand
accused of complicity in her death, and
that of Mrs. Aana Bartholin and are held
In heavy bonds to the grand Jury, yet even
the coroner's Jury when It rendered a ver
dict today recommending , that Oscar
Thompson, Edward Counselman and John
Claffey be held to explain the death,, stated
only that the body, was supposed to be that
of Minnie Mitchell.
Articles of clothing, found near the dead,
body, howeverwere.. Identified by the
Mitchell family, and a week ago the body
waa burled as Mlnjoie Mitchell by relatives
of the girl, who' haa been missing since
July SO, and who waa last seen in company
of her awepthfarl.-Wllllam J. Bartholin.
Two ' wltneasesr LleutFnant Healy and
William Allen, testified that Counselman,
the Intimate' TrYcrfft 'of ' Bartholin, lad' told
them the fuglUve wanted 'money with
which to pay for a aurglcal operation on
the Mitchell girl at a north side hospital.
With thla conflicting testimony to hinder
them, the police are almost stalled In their
search for William Bartholin, ot whom the
coroner'a jury recommended the apprehen
sion. MAN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
