SAILS TOMORROW ON
"SHIP OF MYSTERY"
Will Open Big Ter-ooiitcnary Celebra
tion m Quebec and Dedicate Monu
incut to Wolfo and Montcalm
Will CroM Ooeun on Jlowt Powerful
Crulwr Afloat. '
London, July 15. The Prince of
Wales today completed preparations
for his visit to America and will sail
tomorrow on the new cruiser Indomi
table, the famous "mystery ship," for
Quebec, where ho will take part In
the tercentenary celebration begin
ning next week.
The prince will be given an elabo
rate welcome to His Majesty's great
new-world dominion and will dedi
cate a monument to Wolfe and Mont
calm on the Plains of Abraham. The
Indomitable Is now In readiness for
the transatlantic voyable and will land
Its royal passenger In Quebec a week
from today, when the official recep
' tlon to the prince will take place.
This will be the prince's second vis
It to Canada, he having crossed near
ly 10 years ago when on his world's
tour from ocean to ocean, visiting
the chief towns. He also spent some
tlmo fishing and hunting in the north
west. This time he will go no furth
er west than Quebec and will stay
'only a week.
Ills royal highness will be accom
panied by a brilliant staff, so that
none of the pomp and ceremony of
the British court will be missing.
Among the staff will be Sir Francis
Hopwood, under colonial secretary,
who probably knows more about the
colonies than any other Englishman
and upon whom the Canadians at least
rely when dealing with the mother
country. j
French and American squadrons
will be at Quebec and Invitations have
been sent to France and all the colo
nics to send delegations. Australia
will be represented by Lord Dudley,
the new governor-general.
On landing the prince will be re
ceived by Qove'rnor-General Grey and
will be presented with an address by
the dominion parliament. The next
day (July 23) the landing of Cham-
plain will be re-enacted, the old navl
gator being shown arriving with a
crew In a ship like the one ha salded
In. The fetes will then be formally
opened by the prince. The program
for the following day Is this:
July 24 Dedication of the battle
field. Military and naval review,
July 25 Review of the fleets.
July 26 Thanksgiving day. Services
In the Roman Catholic and English
Cathedrals.
July 27 Naval display ashore by
10,000 sailors. Representation of the
bombarding of Quebec by the British
fleet and army under Saunders and
Wolfe.
July 29 Prince leaves Quebec.
The Intomltable Is one of three sls
ter ships, the two others being the In
vincible and Inflexible, which were
voted In 1906, but not laid down till
1908, and which are to all cruisers of
the past what the Dreadnaught Is to
all earlier battleships.
She is at once the fastest, the larg
est and the most heavily armed cruis
er afloat; indeed, In may respects she
resembles a fast battleship rather
than a cruiser.
The first point to notice Is the Im
mense power of her artillery. She
carries eight huge 12 inch guns, each
forty five feet long, and each capable
of firing an 850 pound qhell twice in
the minute.
These guns are mounted In pairs In
four turrets, and the turrets are so
arranged that all the eight big guns
can f.re on either broadside, and six
of them ahead or astern.
The guns are directed from the fire
control stations, which are duplicated
one on each mast, the details of the
system being absolutely confidential.
But the general arrangement is that
electrical transmitters from the fire
control stations aloft send down to
Indicators at the guns the fange In
yards, the deflection to right or left,
the order to commence or to suspend
fire, and the final signal, a loud ring
on a gong to fire the gun.
Some idea of tho blast and the force
of these guns can be gained from this
fact that during her two trials twd
of the amid-shlp turret guns were
trained right ahead and fired, simul
taneously. A boat was hanging on the davits,
well out of the actual path of the pro
jections, but In the track -of the blast
of gas which accompanies them.
After the shots had been fired the
boat was left a mass of matchwood,)
lying on the deck. The projectiles
from tJiese mammoth guns will pierce
four feet three inches of solid iron
placed close to the muxzle. At 600
yards they will penetrate with ease
14 Inches of the best and strongest
armor now made.
'The engines of the indomitable are
of the Parsons turbine type, develop
ing 41,000 horsepower, the most pow
erful ever put Into a British war
ship. They drive four screws, and ,
on her recent official trials, which
were carried out under war conditions
propelled her at a rate In excess of 26
knots.
The. turbine engines run smoothly
and almost without attention; indeed,
it Is said that the engine-room staff
in these new turbine vessels have so
little to do when running' at high
speed that there is danger of the men
going to sleep. ' '
The boilers are fitted with ; appli
ances for burning oil, thpugh coal Is
the main fuel. , 1 " ":
The effect of the Indomitable on
naval1 construction has already been
remarkable."" . ' '.' ;:' ;,
In Germany two even more gigan
tic and powerful cruisers are now be
ing built of her special tpye, while
Japan Is also constructing cruisers of
the same general design. : 1
FOES OF RUM MEET.
Annual ' Convention of Prohibition
Party Convened.
Columbus, O., July 15. With over
1500 delegates present, many antl
saloon leaders occupying ' places of
honor on the platform and the gal
leries filled with alternates and vis
ltors, the prohibition party's national
convention was formally opened this
morning. The assemblage Is by all
odds the most enthusiastic in the his
tory of the party. Since the last con
vention several states, Including
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North
Carolina and Oklahoma, have Joined
tho .prohibition ranks, and tho dele
gations from those states were given
a great' ovation. In the number of
delegates, Illinois heads the Hat with
178, with Pennsylvania a close sec
ond. The latter state, however, with
New York and New Jersey, ore ad
mitted to be the most hopeless In the
union, from a prohibition standpoint.
Representation in the convention
gives each state and territory four
delegates at large and an additional
delegate for every 200 votes cast for
Dr. Sllus C. Swallow for president in
1904.
It is declared by the party leaders
mat tne prohibitionists will cast
nearly a million votos at the coming
election. In 1904 Swallow received
only 258,205, but It is alleged that
prohibition sentiment has increased
by leaps and bounds since that time.
The failure of Tennessee democrats
to nominate Senator Carmack, who
ran on a prohibition platform for gov
ernor of that state, and the defeat
of Hoke Smith In Georgia, are declar
ed to be temporary reverses.
Apparently no definite decision has
yet been reached In regard to the
presidential nomination. The contest
for the honor is a spirited but good
natured one. Seaborn Wright of
Georgia, has a healthy boom which
promises fair chances of securing for
him the coveted nomination. Among
others actively in the race are F. F.
Wheeler of California; Alfred Man-
lerre of New York; W, B. Pelmore of
Missouri; a A. Artman of Indiana.
and J. B. Cranflll of Texas.
The platform will be little changed
from recenr years and will demand
the complete wiping out of the liquor
business.
Th piphlbltlonlsts will carry on the
most active campaign in years and
will have abundant funds for that
purpose. Maine will be a storm cen
ter during the campaign, owing to
the attempt to secure resubmission of
the prohibition amendment to the
constitution.
PROHIBITION AN ISSUE.
Maine Democrats Declare for Resub
mission of Amendment.
Bangor, Me., July 15. With a cut
and-drled program, providing for the
nomination of Obadtah Gardner, of
Rockland, for governor, upon a plat
form demanding the resubmission of
the prohibition clause of the consti
tutlon to a popular vote, the Demo
crats of Maine began their state con
ventlon in City hall at 1:30 this af
ternoon.
The republicans recently nominated
Bert H. Fernald of Portland for gov
ernor, on a platform opposing resub
mission. Fernald holds that it will
te unwise to Imperil prohibition?
wnicn nas been on the statute books
for more than half a century, by re
submitting it to decision of the voters.
The campaign will be fought out
un mis ciear-cut issue ana the demo
cratic leaders In attendance at to
day's convention declare that it will
mean democratic) victory. They al
lege that public sentiment favors re
submission and polnt out that the
republican majorities have been cut
own irom is.ouu to 8000 in the last
few years by the liquor agitation.
The republican platform declares
emphatically for the continuance of
prohibition. The democratic platform
will assert that under a renuhlicAn
form of government the maJorltv
should decide the question, while no
positive stand will be taken either
for or against prohibition.
Democratic politicians declare that
the prohibition law has become a
farce arfd a source of graft and cor
ruption and that, If the peoplo de-
cldo to retain It, the statute should be
strictly enforced.
Some of the most noted temper
ance orators of the country will come
to the assistance of the Maine repub
licans during the campaign. Maine
was the first state In the union to
adopt a prohibition law and. the tem
perance leaders' realise that If it
should be repealed after the long trial
It has been given, the effect would be
disastrous, to the prohibition move
ment throughout the United States.
Democrats declare that their state
ticket will have the support of thou
sands of republican voters, who are
discontented with the present prohi
bition regime and will and in electing
a democratic' governor and legislature
In order to get a chance to express
their opinion of prohibition at the
polls. . "
There is little doubt that the com
ing campaign will be one of the hot
test In the history of the state and
that the republicans have the strong
est fight in years on their hands.

learned that J. A. Downall of Jack
sonville, Fla., president and general
manager of the company, had gone
to Salt Lake, taking with him a large
amount of ore, which he Intended to
have tested. They waited at the mine
for several days, and hearing nothing
from Mr. Downall, telegraphed ,h,lm,
telling him to come to the mine.
Getting no reply they became
alarmed and. began Inquiring through
the police at Salt Lake. They found
whore he had registered at a hotel
and had been checked out, and also
found the ore at the express office,
but could find no trace of Downall.
Nothing has been learned of him yev
They are uneasy and will go to Salt
Lake and endeavor to get trace of
him.
Everything at the mine is in good
order. Downall Is prominent at his
home. He was last seen at Salt Lake
June 28. He told a friend while on
his way out that he expected to go to
Denver to meet his wife, but nothing
could be learned of him there.

DUCK uVtV" AND WIFE.
Taoorna Lanndryman Thrown Into
American Lake.
Tacoma, Wash., July 15. S. Q.
Thompson, proprietor of the City
laundry, acted as umpire In a ball
gams yesterday at American lake,
between the laundrymen and the
campers, and as a consequence In the
last half of the ninth Inning, on ac
count of what the campers termed
his "rotten" decisions, he was carried
from the field and thrown bodily Into
the lake. The unfortunate umpire's
wife followed the enraged campers
and remonstrated In her husband's
behalf. Her entreaties evidently fell
on. deaf ears for they soused the
pleading woman into the lake with
her husband.
Fortunately, the water was only
about four feet deep and by a good
deal of scrambling they managed to
wade out. Thompson took the duck
ing good-naturedly.
