The wreck of the British sloop of
war Condor, whose fate and that of
the 14u oflicers and men farming
her company have been 0110 of the
mysteries of tlie sea since December
3, 11*01, has been located, submerged
In comparatively shallow water,
about one and a half miles oft
shore at Long Beach, mid-way b?vtween
the southern entrance to Berkeley
Sound and the settlement of
Calyoquot, on the west coast of Vancouver
Island. The wreckage is
about fourteen miles distant from
the village of Clayoquot and seemingly
rests upon an uncharted reef, of
which there are many in the vicinity
of Long Beach and W reck Bay,
which adjoins it.
Tile news of the discovery of the
long missing sloop of war was
brought from the coast by Bonneycastic
Dale, an ICngllsh naturalist
and journalist, who has communicated
his discovery to the British
Admiralty, lie regards the evidence |
of identity as invent rovert idle, and
it is expected that immediate investigations
will be made by the adtnirality
upon his report. The principal
obstacle In the way of salvage operations
is believed to bo the prevailing
heavy swell-met within this locality
in the calmest weather.
A surface wave beyond the line of
tin* barrier reef that fronts the bay
marks the spot where the vessel is
supposed to lie. A few weeks ago a
spar stamped with the admirably
mark, with nltches patched with copper
in naval style, after being visible
four days, floating attached to
the wreck beneath, drifted ashore.
Upon the same beach some time ago
there drifted a jib Xoom spur stamped
"Condor," a life buoy similarly
mark<Mj and several signal rocket
cases marked with the name of the
ill-Htarred vessel, mute testimony of
the whereabouts of the long missing
sloop.
About a mile and a half out from
Long Beach the surface ripples over
the ship that is supposed to be the
sepulchre of one hundred and forty
officers and men of His Majesty's
navy. At high tide It Is hardly visible
but at extreme low tide the sea
boils about the obstruction. Half
a dozen residents of the west coast
who have gone out to the spot in
saiooxn water and at low tide declared
that the hulk of the submerged
ship Is plainly visible.
On the morning of December 3,
1001, the sloop of war Condor, iu
company with H. M. S. Warship, left
Ksquimalt, the former never to return.
The Condor was bound for
Honolulu and Tahiti heavily laden
with coal for a long cruise and carrying
a large consignment of mails for
the British Inhabitants in the isolated
South Sea Island.
In the straits a strong southeast
gale prevailed and the war ships
parted company, the Warsplte continuing
on her way south and the
Condor starting to carry out gun
practice at the entrance to the straits
prior to making for Honolulu.
Whether this gun practice was carried
out has never been ascertained.
Outside the straits that fateful night
a terrified storm was raging, which
compelled every vessel in the region
to fight for life, and In this storm
the Condor was seen for a brief {
moment, laboring heavily and flying |
signals of distress, by Captain James
Boyd, now of the Bank line steamer '
Aymeric, and then in command of
the south bound lumber ship Springbank.
Naturally the name of the struggling
washlp was not made out, but
there was no doubt of her identity
in the minds of Captain Boyd and
his officers. They did not go to j
the supposedly disabled gun boat's
assistance. Indeed, they gave her
scant thought or attention at the
time, as thoy w?>re having all they
ii 1 /I ^ 4 ^ ' "
wuiu uw to save iiK-ir own ship and J
thoir lives. This was the last seen
of the Condor or any of her com- i
pany. The Condor never reached
Honolulu and gradually her name
passed Into history as identified with j
one more of the tragic mysteries of
the sea.
Toward the end of that December |
a stern bcjiIT and lifebuoy with the
name "H. M. Condor" on wore
picked iip in the neighborhood of
Wreck Bay. Theories are numerous
as to the fate of the vessel and the
140 lives sho carried.
The same night was responsible
/or anotner mystery of the North
Pacific. The collier Mattewan left
Nanaimo for San Francisco on December
2 and never reached her
port. Some believe she foundered, j
Borne say she crashed into the Con- '
dor and both vessels were sunk. |
The Condor was ^f similar type to 1
the Algorinc and the Shearwater, 1

The Astounding KovcUtkms Made
by Senator ltoveridj;? About the
Stealing of tlie ToImmoo Trust.
No revelation of tho extra session
Lou Lnon www ?o c* t ti r t 1 i V) ir f )i !i Vl
iMirt r? %
which Senator Hevoridge made about
the almost unbelievable graft of the
Tobacco trust for eight years, says
the Washington Times. That was a
case of legislative partnership with
a trust in a project to fleece the people.
Somebody must have boon
"Axed," "(Jreused," "oiled." It is inconceivable
that congress will plead
guilty to such sublime innocence and j
incompetence as would be testified ,
by the explanation that nobody in ;
congress saw what was being given
to the Tobacco trust.
Here is what happened: When the
Spanish war taxes were imposed, the
! internal revenue duty on tobacco
went np. The law was so arranged
that tobacco dealers were permitted
to sell underweight packages, deducting
enough from the weight to
compensate them for the increase
in the internal revenue tax. Thus a
"tobacco pound' was considerably
less than a I G-ounce pound; but it j
was legal because of this legislation.
The tax was thus carried down
to the consumer, and nobody particularly
felt it.
Hut when the war and the need J
of war taxes passed, what happened?
Tiie additional tobacco tax was re- 1
pealed, but the trust's privilege of <
selling underweight packages was
not stopped. The trust was left collecting
the war tax from the people,
hut pocketing it instead of turning
it into tin- Federal treasury. i
Hy this process, in eight years, tl'o ( i
trust lias got away with $184,000,-)'
000 of tin; people's money. That 1
money ought either to luivo been left 1
in the pockets of the tobacco users,
or else to have gone to the Federal
treasury. In fact, it went to the '
coffers of the Tobacco trust.
It is manifest that to repeal the
war tax, but to forget to repeal the '
short weight privilege must have been
ditUcult and Complicated. Some
skilled person or persons must have
steered that thing through congress
with consummate cleverness. Who
did it? Was he an "Inside worker"
or an "outside man?" If he was an
insider, his identity ought to be 1
known, so that he can be duly defeated
next election by a betrayed
constituency. If he be merely a
smart lobbyist, he should at least be
questioned about thS* methods by
which he Induced committer and
lenders and organisations to permit
such a tremendous steal.
Senator Ileverldge has gone about
this business In a fashion which Indicates
purpose to stick by It till the
whole Inwardness of this strange
transaction Is bared. The present
$li6,000,000-a-year largess of the Tobacco
trust should first be taken '
away; then the process by which con- 1
gross was either befooled or corrupt- ''
ed should be Investigated.
It is a wondrous interesting ctr- '
cumstauce that the trusts which
seem most Influential with congress
are those which most often appear '
in the criminal courts as defendants.
The Sugar trust has seldom been out '
of the criminal courts in the last 1

Why should such a spoctai j.rivi- (
lege be freely given to a criminal of ,
the most fixed and persistent crim- f
inal habits?
The American Tobacco Company is i
now defendant in a great case <
brought by the government under tho (
anti-trust laws, charging it with con- j
spiracy In restrain of trade. That <
it is actually, if not techinally guilty, j
is the common knowledge. Does it ,
not seeiu strange that it, too, should .
be abb* to have conferred upon It j
a special delegation of the taxing )
power? (
Does congress have any paction- t
lar preference for the great crimi- j
nals? Its diatrlbution of its favors \
seems to suggest something of tho (

Plain FACTS
About the Tariff bill Told by
Senator Smith
ON FLOOR OF SENATE
He Boldly Declares That tin- Whole
#
Tendency of the Present IvogisUition
is to (jive the Manufacturer
I ndue Advantage Over the Producer
and the Consumer.
Denouncing the pending *uriff bill
us giving the munufactuier an undue
ad vantage over the American fanner
and working man, Senator Smith,
ot South Carolina, unei|uivocally expressed
his faith in a free trude policy
iti an extended stcech while the
cotton schedule was under consideration
in the Senate on Tuesday. The
following write-up of the speech was
furnished The News and Courier b>
its Washington correspondent:
"The whole tendency of this legislation
has been to cheapen the raw
material and raise the price of the
finished article," said Mr. Smith,
thereby giving to the protected
manufacturer a double advantage,
lessening the price of what he has
to buy ami raising the price of what ,
he has to sell.
"I am not pleading for, nor shall
1 vote for, protection for the raw ,
material. I believe a thing is worth (
what it will bring in the.* open mark- |
tits of the world. What I shall vole |
ugainst is the iniquitous and indo- (
feasible system of legislating a profit ,
by artificial methods. I believe that
American skill and the wonderful t
mechanical devices operated by .
steam, water and electricity, our
nearness to the source of supply for '
the raw material makes it possible ,
tor us to compete with tin* nations of j
the world."
Senator Smith said It was abso- j
lately idle to talk about the protective
tariff being a benefit to the cot- 4
iuu unu fA I ?ii II fjl UWl'I'S Ul A11UT1CU. J
hi support of his position, Mr. Smith t
quoted, though not by name, a "loading
manufacturer of the South," who, f
lie said, had told hlui that he be- t
lievod it was right and Just that the ,
protective feature of the tariff on ,
cotton goods should be entirely wip- ,
ed out. The protection of the Gov- (
ernment, usaorted Mr. Smith, giving f
such a margin of profit, has invited j
and brought into the cotton manufac- ,
luring business "a lot of financial j
buccaneers and plungers, who, by the
marvelous profits that could bo figured,
possibly on paper, put on fool
impossible schemes, which have resulted
disasterouly to the milling '
Industry of the country." lie said
that what is true of the cotton industry
is largely true of every other
manufacturing industry. c
"The monstrous injustice of this r
bill is nindo in two particulars," con- '
tinned Mr. Smith. "This hill de- 1
Clares that It is for the purpose of f
encouraging American industries J
und guaranteeing to them a reason- '
able pro fit, while on the other hand, h
In sharp contrast with it in the bill, n
is incorporated a tax on the very *
fertilizing element upon which the f
igricultnral laborer is dependent for *
the enrichment of his soil. This 1
iimnonia, or this nitrogenous elenent
that is so costly and so essential '
n the production of this crop, must *
>e taxed because of a few coke and
*as companies, who, already protect d
and making their millions, canlot
be denied the privilege of mak- t
ng other millions out of that which
he Government ought to see that $
he farmer gets at the lowest pos- r
able price." v
During the course of his speech i
Mr. Smith read some interesting r
igures to bear out his contention h
hat the protective tariff worked a f
inrdship upon the people of the d
South, who had to pay most severely ?
'or the prosperity enjoyed by the g
nanufacturers. The eleven cotton i
(rowing States last year produced
?71 G,.152,265 worth of raw cotton, t
to said, and $90,000,000 worth of ft
K>tton seed. This cotton they had y
o put upon the market at a price (J
ixed by Liverpool. That price was t
Ixed in Liverpool upon the basis j
>f the coat of labor in Flu rope and 0
ho price at which they sold the i
lnished product. /
"Therefore the whole American n
cotton crop is sold upon the basis o
if free trade," said Senator Smith t
'so that, iu the cotton growing

ires of 1900, there are engaged in (

On the Treatment of IHsfaM..
Some original and striking Htatements
with regurd to the attitude
of the public, in general, and the
medical profession in particular, towards
humanity's common enemy,
disease, are made by Bornarr Maefadden
in the June issue of the
Physical Culture magazine. The fol- H
lowing quotations will serve to illustrate
the standpoint from which \
this writer views the ordinary rneth- tj
od of dealing with physical ailments),
and many of his beliefs are gaining
accceptance in the minds of those
who think for themselves the world
over:
"Practically every advanced student
of medicine is prepared to admit
that disease germs are innocuous
cir harmless to those who possess
what might be termed a high degree
of vital resistance. Such r.
Fv>l
sons arc classed as immune, and it
has always been an unsolved riddle ^
to me why the germ-seeking Helentlsts
do not turn their attention to
the study of the how and why of
this immunity. They are seeking
a method of insuring immunity
against disease. Why do they devote
no much time to the duty of the minute
details of the disease, instead of
learning something of the nature of
the forces within the body which can
render it practically immune l'rorn all
disease?
"Disease is not an enemy? It
Is a friend! It comes as a moans of
bringing relief. It is an effort on
the part of the body to right a
wrong. It shows that the body Is
struggling for life and health, and on
many occasions of ridding the body
>f the vile accumulations of poisons,
death would unquestionably ensue.
Therefore, disease in many cases
actually save life. To be sure, If
there is but a small amount of foreign
material in the circulation and
tissue of the body, the attack^ of
the disease will be slight in character."
