Chicago, July 28. 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.

Taku, China, Juno 17, 1900. 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. Very
respeotfully, "LOUIS KEMPFF,

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.

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. St. Michael has established a
strict quarantine against Nome.
According to the records of tho ens
tom-houso, 114 vessels have entered
Nome and 13,437 passengers have land

tho Yukon rtvr, nor those who landed
from vessels which did not report to
the customs officers.
It is estimated that from 0,000 to
10,000 porsona will winter at Nome.

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.
Among other metals tin ia locally low
er, on freer arrivals, after touching tha
highest price in 20 years.
