copditions of dress in frantic endeavor
to escape The Easily remained along
side the Gambler and rescued many
of the latter'S passengers aud crew.
Notwithstanding her efforts, the
Gambler filled so rapidly that 1t was be-

water, then she settled back, and, sink
ing stern first, she disappeared from

calm and the night was clear, and it is
claimed by many persons that proper

When asked to night what the status
of United States Minister Egan would
be if the Congressional party took con-
troll of the government. Mr.. Foster said ::
"He cannot remain as The United States
minister. We would request the United
States government 10 recall him. We
could not put up with man who has
been partial to Balmaceda and an en-
envy to the COngreSsiOnaliStS, and one
who has always persisted that Balma-
ceda would not be defeated.
"If Balmaceda is entirely dethrOned," /"
said Mr.. Foster, ''he and his followers
will not be punished. as we believe the
greatest punishment to these men, who
for the first time have figured in the
upper strata, will be their shOrt-lived
power and the public indignation
heaped upon them" Mr.. Foster
said Minister Egau has son who
holds office Indirectly under Balmaceda.
1.-The son is about nineteen years of
age" said Mr.. Foster, land is employed
on a government railroad in the capacity
of clerk. and is paid for his services by
a contractor who is employed by the
Balmaceda government, and | under
stand that this son has other employ
ment under BaImaceda also. 1t is an
unusual Occurrance for foreign minis
ter to place his son in the employ of a
country which he serves in diplomatic
relations"

raVeling this case, says that there are a
number of others, both in this city and
surrounding towns, who will be arrest
ed before next Tuesday, the day set for
trial, for their connection with this case.
Whether or not others will be arrested
depends on what the district attorney
thinks of the case.

fessed to a knowledge of Nine. AStle's
practices. another lady of Greeley. well
known in church and society circles, is
SAID to have profited by the English

WILLING TO SETTLE.
Anheuser-Busch People Want the
BOyCOtt Raised.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 2s.-The brew
ers' convention to-day received com
munication from the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing company, asking that the con-.
ventiOn appoint a committee to call on
the brewing company to discuss the
boycott question and to arrange a set
tlement of that matter. The committee
was appointed. 1t is stated in connec-
ton with the above that the brewing
company is paving the way for the sale
of its establishment. 1t is alleged
that the settlement of the boycott is one
of the conditions imposed by the Eng
liSh capitalists before closing the deal.
At the evening session the committee
appointed to confer with the AnheuSer-
Busch Brewing company regarding the
boycott on the latter made their report
to the effect that they had long con-
ference with the representatives of Mr..
Busch, and that they were unable to
reach any conclusion, as the brewery
people wanted the boycott raised before
the would discuss the question looking
to a settlement of the difficulties. The
convention, by unanimous vote, iu-
dOTsed its former action in resolving to
continue the boycott. A motion was
then adopted that in all cities where
there is no central organization the
local union shall at once set to work and
organize them thoroughly. Milwaukee
and Chicago were especially referred
to. After some routine business the
convention adjourned to meet in Buff

RUSK Is SANGUINE.
The Secretary Says Europe Must
Have Our Pork.

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-Secretary Rusk
is in this city. In an interview, he
said: 1--WE will have our pork on the
European markets in very short time.
Everything is favorable for our packers
to place their products before the Eu-
ropeans and the prices the pork will
bring will be highly satisfactory to the
exporters. This conclusion l have not
arrived at hastily, nor without due con-
sideration. | have devoted much of my
time to it. The small crops of cereals
in the European countries, and the
financial troubles in Great Britain, will
necessitate the admittance of our pork,
as it will be cheaper than any of it
there, and the result will be much
larger sale of our products than ever
before, not only of pork, but of other
articles of food as WE'LL"

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2S.-A Donaphan
special to the Bee says: A neighbor-
hood feud, which has existed for sew
eral months between j. P. Farr and G.
A. Schultz. two resident farmers with
lands adjoining, eliminated this morn
ing in the shooting and mortally wound
ing of the former by the latter. The
immediate causes which led up to
this mornings tragedy are these:
Early Thursday morning of this
week. seven head of Mr.. Farr's
horses, which had broken out of
their pasture during the night. were
found in Schultz's possession. Schultz
demanded S. damages. Farr offered 81.
which was refused, whereupon Farr
and his men tore down the enclosure
and recovered the animals, while
Schultz started for Grand Island, bent
on having Farr arrested for trespass.
Failing to procure the necessary papers
for Farr's arrest, he returned home late
in the evening considerably the worse
for liquor.
At daylight this morning he arose,
and, telling his family that he would
never eat, sleep or drink until he killed
Farr, he Immediately began to prepare
for the intended murder by washing out
his gun and loading it with shot, bullets
and chunks of lead. All things being
in readiness, he calmly lighted his pipe
and started for Farr'S residence, half a
mile distant. Arriving there and seeing
Farr in field near the house, he
walked up to within fifty feet Of him
and raised his gun to his shoulder, and
within full view of his terrified family,
and while Farr was begging him for
Gods sake not to shoot, he deliberately
discharged the weapon with the above
result. Farr, terribly lacerated and un-
conscious, was carried into the house
and physicians were summoned from
Donaphan and Hastings, who entertain
no hopes of his recovery. Schultz sur
rendered to the authorities.

THE HENNEPIN CANAL.
Condemnation Proceedings En-

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The first move
toward building the much-talked-of
HennepiD canal was made in the United
States court at Peoria to-day. Con-
demnation proceedings were entered
against fifty or more property owners in
Rock island county, through whose,
land the new waterway will pass. The
improvement will cost the government
S5O0,OOC. Plans call for channel eighty
feet wide at the watermark and
seven feet deep. The locks will
be 10 by so feet in dimensions
and capable of use by vessels OF
2SO tons burden. In addition to the
canal proper a feeder from the Rock
river will be built.
The canal was authorized by an act
of congress passed Sep. 10. 1899. 1t
will connect the Illinois river at Henne-
pin with the Mississippi near the mouth
of Rock. Most of the land to be con-
demned is used for farming purposes.
