Drawn into tha maolstrom of tho great wlndago basin of tho draihago canal at Lockpoit, car ried 20 foot beneath the surfaco of tha whirlpool rising again, only to bo caught by tho current that was pouring hundreds of thousands of cubic foot of water into tho valley bolow, and hurlod through the groat slniccgato opening and carried 200 feet through tho foaming rapids of tho opon chan nel, to be finally roacuod alivo and in a fair way to rocovery was thooxporionco of Potor Simth, of Jollet. Michael Ityan, who is superintend ing tho work at tho controlling works, and his as sistant, John Herman, eecaped the same perilous joumoy by a narrow mar gin. The whirlpool in tho wlndago basin has boon cauoo by tho raising of tho boar-trap dam and tho opening of tha sluice gates, through which It was originally Intended that the greater portion of tho 800,000 cubio fcot of water should flow every minute. The bear trap bad been raised above tho aurfaco of the basin in order that tho big forco of mon working on tho false work of tho proposed suspension brldgo could proceed with tho operations with out ondangering their lives. Hmlth, Hyan and Herman woro in a boat crossing over the basin, and had their back to tho whirlpool. Suddenly tho boat was sucked in to the mael strom, Herman and Ryan sprang into the wator nnd swam to tho shore, but Smith was thrown by tho forco of tho whirling boat into tho whirlpool, dis appearing from sight instantly. Down through 20 feot ot wator he shot. With tremendous forco ho was caught by tho current and hurled through tho gates. Luckily his knee was tho only portion of hia body to como In contact with any of the ma ionry, otherwise he cortalnly would bavo been crushed to death. Below tho gato he was caught in the rapids and carried 200 feet through the swirl ing, turbulent waters, tossed about like a rubber ball. Finally his feet struck tho rocks in tho shallow, and he managed to hold iu until rescuers reached him. ACTED UNDER ORDERS. Why Ilmr-Ailinlrul KeiupfT Dili Not Flra On tho Tiiku ForU.

Sir: I would state what follows In regard to the happenings previous to tbo resolve yesterday by other senior foreign nava oflicers hero to get possession of the Taku forts: "2 On Thursday, Juno 14, Rear Admiral Bruce called nnd asked what I thought of the matter, and I inform. oil him that I was not authorized to Initiato any act of war with u country with which my country was at peace; that my limit was to protect American interests, both by regulations and under recent Instructions from both tbo de partment and from the commander-in-chief of tho United States naval forco on tho Asiatio station. "3 On tho 16th, at a consultation of tho other foreign naval officers, it was agreed that the railroad station at Tong Ku should bo taken (the railway is under Chinese government control), and in case any Chinese government forco acted against tho forco of any for eign nation, all should be involved and act uuitodly. Under my instructions, I could not join in taking possession ot Chluese government property, and did not care to becomo a party to such an ngrooment without special authority. "4 Yesterday, Juno 10, tho samo foreign naval ofllcora signed a compact that it was necessary to take temporary possession of the Taku forta and notice was served on the viceroy at Tien Tsin and on the commandant of thu forts. Consuls at Tien Tsin were informed of what was contomplatod . I did not join In tho attack on tho forts. Captain Wise, of the Monocacy, had orders to protect American interests, based upon tho department orders, but in case of attack by a Chinese government forco, he was to consider it as a declaration of war and act accordingly.

BONES AND MINING American Are Not HiitUfled With the AlntkH-C'iiiindlan Hnrvey I.oia Good Territory. Skagway, Alaska, July 30. Tho work of delimiting the provisional lo ti Hilary in the disputed Alaska-Canadian territory having been completed iu that part crossing the Dalton trail nnd touching tho Porcupine district, tbo Americans in tho district find that they havo lost n large part of what they bolioved was rightfully American territory. Tho survey has boon run and tbo monuments sot within the last fow weeks by O. H. Tittinan, of Washington, D. 0., and W. F. King, of Ottawa, and assistants, who have simply followed instructions aa sot forth In tbo modus vivondl agreed to provisionally some months ago by Sec retary Hay, on the part of tho United States, aud tho British representatives, after the adjournment of the joint high commission. Tho survey and demarkation of the lino leaves nearly one-half of the Por cupine gold mines in tho British terri tory, and it has been the gonoral opin ion for a long timo that tho mines in fact, tho entire Porcupine district was on the American side. Much of tho Dalton toll road leading to Porcu pine city now Hoh within Canadian ter ritory also; that is, is on tho Canadian side of tho iron monuments set on the provisional line. The American miners in tho Porcu pine having watched the development of the work of delimiting and marking tbo boundary, were ho aroused over the result of f.o much mining district being left on the Ilritch side that they were not long in addressing a protest to President McKlnley. Copies of the protest hare been sent to the chambers of commerce of Seattle, Skagway, San Francisco and Portland, with a request for co-oporation. Tho commission will bo in the vicin ity of Skagway a month, delimiting tho provisional lino on White Pass and Chilkoot Pass. Tho Porcupine placet mines, it is estimated, will yield $260, 000 this year. Work of slnicing, hy draullcklng and other kinds of mining is carried on in the district. l'lacer Sllne Kzclterarnt. Juneau baa a full fledged placer mine excitement, according to advices brought from tflo north by tho steamer Rosalie. When the vessel sailed from the north July 18, a stampede was on to a new placer diggings on Glacier bay, about ISO miles distant. Some doubt existed as to the placers really being now discoveries. Not a few believ thorn to be the diggings found and oper ated many years ago by the Rnssians. In any event the finds are most promis ing. It is claimed for them that an experienced miner can make consider ably more than wages. Folly 200 peo pie, it Is estimated, had gone from Ju neau alone to the scene of tho new dis coverios. The bars in the mouth ol Glacier bay all are said to contain gold. Advice From Nome. Advices from Nome received by the Alaska Commercial Company at San Francisco state that up to July 10 there had been 10 cases of smallpox in the camp, only one being reported since July 5.

According to the records of tho ens tom-houso, 114 vessels have entered Nome and 13,437 passengers have land ed, not including those who came down tho Yukon rtvr, nor those who landed from vessels which did not report to the customs officers.

The mine has been idlo for nearly four years, and the S-stamp mill and concentrator put in by O. B. Hardy aro a wreck. The mill was run only a short time, owing to bad management, and, though the property could havo beon sold for $75, 00ft, it was allowed to Btand idle, tha owners falling to agree'on the method of operating. There is several hundred feof of tunnels, but theso will not be used, tho new operators preforrlng to sink and follow the ore.

Bradstreet'asays: Important chang es in trade and apocnlatlon aro notably lacking this weok, but couutor current of domand in various sections and in dustries lend n rathor more than usual ly Irregular appearance to tho gonornl situation. Among tho notable features calling for notice aro tho praotlcal as surance of an immense corn crop by tha recent copious rains in tho further West, tho continued cheerful reports from tho sections which have gathered and aro now marketing a largo winter wheat crop, advices of continued im provement In tono to tho Northwest, with reports of renowals of earlier can celled orders for fall goods, fairly sat isfactory gains in gross railway earn ings, less weakness in prices of the country's leading cereal products, based apparently on renewed buying for ox port, and rather moro inquiry for raw wool by manufacturers. Unfavorable elements In trade prob ably find their chief and greatest ex position in the iron and stool business. That industry, if possible, eeems more deprcssod than nt any timo for three years past, and expectations that price -declines will be checked by the arrival of finished matter at a coat basis havo been disappointed, because this weok, steel bars havo beon sold in some in stances at 1 cent per pound, which ia unquestionably below tbo basis of tha cost of raw materials and manufact ure Export business would undoubtedly expand if ship room wero available.
