FRENZIEO WITH GRIEF.

A Mother Accidentally Smothers Her Twin
Daughters in Bed and Attempts suicide.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 24.-Mrs- John
O'Meara, the wife of well known con-
tractor, and a woman weighing 100
pounds, arose early yesterday morning,
and taking her twin daughters of about
three months from their cradle, placed
them in bed beside herself After play
ing with them awhile she fell asleep.
On awakening she was Mortified to find
both babies crushed and dead
The grief of the mother was terrible.
Her cries attracted her husband, who
was sleeping in the next room, and he
found her pressing the little children to
her bosom and wailing piteously.
Mrs 0Meara, suddenly throwing the
babies to the floor, sprang to her dress
ing case and grasping an ornamental
dagger, plunged it into her bosom. She
is now in critical condition.
1t seems that Mrs. OMears, while
asleep, rolled over on the sleeping
babies and crushed them to death.

THE CANADIAN ORGAN.

Its Beilicose Remarks on the Behring Sea
Correspondence.
TORONTO, Ont, July 25-The Empire,
the chief Governments organ, says: THE
diplomatic correspondence on the Behr-
ing sea question will be read with inter-
est, though 1t really contains very little
that is new or that might not have been
anticipated at least in the main out
lines. That Lord Salisbury main
tanned the rights of British subjects
including Canadians is proved be-
yond question. Secretary Blaine's
course is not surprising. His conten-
tions craftily avoid the main point that
the seizures were contrary to interna-
tional law as being outside territorial
waters and United States jur. .sdict.on.
All his legends about Russian rights ac-
quired, his complaints of injury done to
United States interests and his claim
to insist upon the preservation of
seals, even if as well founded
as they are inaccurate, would be
quite beside the mark, for no
amount of wrongdoing or loss would
Justify interference outside the juris-
diction. He might as we'll assume to
send his police to Toronto to make ar
rests and seizures because some citizen
of the United States had been robbed
But all this has been the United States
policy. The cessation of these high
handed outrages is not due to any
neighborly feeling of fair play or any
respect for law and the rights of others,
but to the recognition of the fact that
the end of British patience and forbear-
ance had been reached"

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA.
The First-Named Waiting an Opportunit
to Invade the Latter.

The Eirst-Named waiting an opportunity
to Invade the Latter.
NEW YORK, July 24-Washington
specials say that the Mexican Govern
ment aroused by the hostilities between
San Salvador and Guatemala, has issued
orders to double the number of troops
at Chiapaz, on the frontier. At the
Mexican legation no information could
be secured. Minister Romero was as
non-communicative as an oyster.
The Mexican troops have been hur-
ried to the front ostensibly, it is said,
to protect the interests of citizens
of that nation who have temporary
residence in Guatemala The corre-
spondent's information stated. however,
that this idea of it must be taken
with a grain of salt Guatemala and
Mexico, said he, have ever been bitter
enemies. Mexico fears that il Baril-
las Government secures the federation
of the FIVE Central American republics
combination will be formed which at
some time or other will question her
right to remain outside of it 1t is
therefore essential to the continued in
dependence of the Mexican republic that
that Governments should keep the small
Ter nations cutting one another's throats
and as far away from unity as possible.
Whether Mexico will see fit to become
San Salvador's ally remains to be seen
1t is understood that Minister Romero
has received orders to remain here in
anticipation of the return of DR. Cruz,
the Guatemalan Minister. As soon as
DR.. Cruz arrives he will find dispatches
from his Government directing him to
appeal to the United States to interfere
and see that Mexico maintains neutral
attitude in the struggle.
ut seems that Mexico is waiting to
see which way the cat will jump. Then
she intends to step in and grab the
spoils. If Nicaragua and Costa Rica
join with San Salvador, as they GER
tainly will as soon as the Honduras
army appears in the field, you will see,
in all probability, no less than six re-
publics engaged in bloody war. If
Mexico interferes and tells Guatemala
to keep her hands off San Salvador and
Guatemala refuses, the Barillas Govern
ment is doomed. OF course, we can not
tell what the United States will do.
Her policy, assume, will be to let the
republics fight it out, but keep your
eyes on Mexico"
A diplomat from one of the Central
American States said he thought there
would be no open hostilities until Sep
tember, when the conference of all the
Republics is to be held at the capitol of
Honduras to ratify or reject the treaty
to effect a Central Amer. can union.
San Salvador has resigned this
treaty-that is, the Government of
Menendez, who was recently killed,
signed it-but it has not passed
Congress and was not approved by the
people. Hostility to Guatemala, he
said, is hereditary in San Salvador, and
it only needed such man as Ezeta, the
new President who goes into power on
platform pledged to free the country
from Guatemala's dominance, to bring
about rupture.

Mora Favorable Report,

OMAHA, Neb., July 24.-The fort
nightly crop report of the Union Pacific
freight department shows much more
favorable state of affairs than in the
previous report Wheat is about har-
vested in many localities along the
branches north of Columbus and Grand
Island. The crop has done splendidly
and the yield will be a full average,
probably fifteen to twenty bushels to
the acre. In other localities the cry
weather early in the season seriously
affected the crop and the yield will not
be more than one-third to one-half sn
average. West of Kearney the yield is
merely nominal except in few local.

KANSAS CORN CROP.
Varying Reports Regarding Its Condition
Received.


Received.
TOPEKA Kan, July 24-Reports
from all parts of Kansas as to the exact
situation of the corn crop are still as
apparently unsatisfactory as ever. One
county will report excellent prospects
and the next very great damage, while
on the other side will indicate half
crop.
The most careful estimates show that
the average of the whole State will
probably be about so per cent of the
crop of last year. This, however, does
not mean ruin to the farmer by any
means, for last years crop was enor-
nous.
Reports as to wheat generally agree
that the yield will be fairly good as to
quantity and away above the average as
to quality. Indeed, it may be said that
no such grade of wheat as that Of this
year has ever been known in this State.
Oats are reported panning out better
than had been anticipated and the hay
crop is first class

A Housekeeper Considered a dependent
I'm an Insurance Ruling.
CHICAGO, July 24-Judge Tuley gave
novel opinion upon the subject of
what constitutes dependent and
member" of a family. Rev. Michael
Horgan, Roman Catholic priest, was
insured for $1,000 in the Illinois
Catholic Order of Foresters. The
policy was originally made payable to
his mother. She died, and Father Hor-
gan executed will leaving the insur-
ance tc his housekeeper, Margaret Daily.
After Father Horgan's death the Forest,
ers declined to pay over the money on
the ground that the housekeeper being
no relative was not member of the
priests family or dependent thereof,
conditions required by the rules of the
Order of Foresters. Judge Tuley, how
ever, after full hearing, decided to the
contrary, and awarded her the money.

Exciting Battle For Life ON q Burning Veo-
sci In Mid-Ocean-The Rescue.
LONDON, July 25.-The oil steamer
Manhattan arrived at Dover yesterday
and the crew of the Egypt were landed
in boats They were greeted by large
crowd of spectators and friends and the
scene was an exciting one. The stories
of the survivors of the disaster were
eagerly listened to.
1t appears that the fire broke out at
ten o'clock on the night of the 18th.
1t was discovered by fireman in the
starboard coal bunker, who promptly
gave the alarm, and the men were
ordered to hose and pumps They
behaved in an orderly manner through
out the trying ordeal Despite their
efforts the flames blazed fiercely and
the fire continued to spread. There
seemed to be no chance of escape, and
the prospect was most gloomy one.
Many of the cattle on board were suffo-
Gated in their stalls. Numbers of others
were terribly burned before breaking
loose and rushing overheard. The bel
lowing of the suffering animals was
horrible.
At one o'clock, when the men were
nearly exhausted and the fire had COM
plete possession of the steamer, the
German vessel Gustav Oscar, of Ham,
burg, bore down upon the Egypt and
there was great rejoicing among the fire
besieged crew. Six of the Egypt's boats
were lowered, and by three o'clock all
the crew had been safely transferred to
the Gustav Oscar, whence they watched
the burning Egypt until noon.
When the Manhattan approached the
Egypt she saw the Gustav Oscar giving
signals of distress. The ninety-five
men from the Egypt were crowded on
her decks, with hardly room to stand,
and the little vessel was almost sink
ing. The Manhattan quickly lowered
her boats and transferred the sufferers
to her own decks. Captain Summers
face is badly burned and his eyes are
much injured. All the Egypt's crew
speak in high praise of their accommo-
dations and treatment on board the
Manhattan.
According to the official statement in
regard to the burning of the steamer
the fire originated in bales of cotton over
the boiler. The fire soon damaged the
pumps so as to greatly impair their use
