Possibility of Emperor William At

BERLIN, Aug. s. The American
Worlds Fair Commissioners had a
lengthy conference to-day with Herr
Warmth, the Imperial Commissioner.
regarding the details of the German ex-
hibit. The principal points were fully
and satisfactorily explained to the Com
missioners. The committee are still re-
cipients of much official attention. This
evening dinner was given in their
honor by DR.. Won Boetticher Secretary
of the Imperial Home Office. Among the
the prominent guests were Chancellor
Won Caprivi and United States Minister
Phelps
A paper of this city says Chancellor
Won Caprivi told Phelps, the American
Minister, that Emperor William will
perhaps visit the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
This statement, however, lacks con-
tirmation.
The VoScische Zeitunq says the idea of
holding Worlds Fair in country
bound by McKinleyism is grotesuue.
The German manufacturers cannot hope
to obtain market there. Only Ameri-
cans will profit by the experience gained
of inspecting exhibits, and they will
probably then increase the duties.

; PARIS, Aug. 5.-The Figaro of this CITY
has in its columns to-day letter alleged
to have been written by Prince Bismarck
to the Russian leader of the German
party in st. Petersburg. This letter
makes the German ex-Chancellor declare
the visit of the French squadron to Cron-
stadt would not have occurred had he re-
manned in power. The visit, the letter
says, is the result of three gross mistakes
of German diplomacy. The first mistake
was the visit of Empress Frederick to
Paris, the second a renewal of the Triplo
Alliance, which was divulged with such
eagerness by Emperor William, and tho
third was the Emperor's noisy visit to
London.

ASTORIA Or, Aug. 5.-Gloom was cast
shore, this afternoon at 1890 o'clock,
when Miss Nellie Boise. daughter of Cir
cult Judge Boise of Salem, Or, and Will
lam Steel, stepson of Postmaster George
a. Steel of Portland, were drowned while
bathing in the surf. The accident hap
pened in front of Stout's Hotel, in view
OF twenty or thirty persons. A huge
wave, attended by fearful undertow,
swept a party of bathers into the deep
water, and before the undertow subsidized
the unfortunate young people had worn
themselves out in struggling against it.
There were about twenty of the party to-
gether.
George Myers was further down the
beach than the others, and was the first
to feel the irresistible pressure of the un-
dertow. AS it swept him off his feet, he
shouted to those further up, and mo-
TONED them to go in shore. They all
started, but treacherous wave overlook
them and lifted them off their feet.
Some OF the young men were farther
out than the ladies, and when the under
tow caught them il swept the ladies past
them. All were very much excited. and
Miss Boise tainted in the arms of her es-
cort, Ben Lombard. He was a good
swimmer and made herculean efforts to
reacha a safe footing with her, and would
have undoubtedly succeeded had not a
second wave torn her from his grasp
and she sank out of sight Lombard tried
in vain to reach her again, but could not
and in an exhausted condition was
dragged on the beach by the others.
Steel, who was trit1e farther out than
Miss Boise and Lombard, was seen on
the crest of wave after the deadly un-
dertow had partially subsidized, but was
apparently too weak to help himself, and
before assistance could reach him he, too,
had perished.
An effort will be made to find the
bodies this evening, but it is doubtful if
they can be recovered tonight, as the
tide does not run out within three feet of
low-water mark, and unless they are
found within the next twenty-four hours
it is doubtful if they can ever be recov-
cred.
When the news of the drowning was
spread along the beach it created intense
excitement, and the widest rumors were
afioat. Every man who was missed was
thought to be drowned, and while it is
uncertain whether others were drowned
or not, yet it is hardly probable.
Miss Boise was the elder of two daugh-
ters of Circuit Judge Boise of Salem. She
was % years old, and was leader in So
ciety in the Capital City. She went to
the beach last Saturday, and was staying
at the cottage of Judge Stolt of Portland.
Although unable TO swim, she was al
ways very cautious while bathing.
William Steel was 10 years of age.

CORBETvT AND HALL.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5. - Battery D was
crowded to the doors tonight with a
noisy collection of humanity assembled
to see Jim Corbett and jim Hall spar
four rounds. There was no hard hitting
INDUCED in, but a splendid exhibition of
scientific boxing given. In skill Corbett
had plainly the better it. Although Hall
was quick as a cat and reached the big
Californian frequently, the latter seemed
to have surprising knack of getting
away when he tried hard.
Corbetts ducking was wonderful, and
he also showed himself a great judge of
distance, several of Halls blows falling
short hairs breadth only. Hall, how
ever, made good showing against his
opponent, and proved that with one of
his class he would cut considerable of a

A NEW COMPACT.
Agricultural Implements Not to be
Exhibited at Fairs

ROCHESTER,, Aug. 5.-Leading manu-
facturers of agricultural implements
throught the country have formed a
compact which virtually amounts to a
boycott upon county and State fairs and
agricultural exhibitions of all kinds.
The agreement, which has been signed
by LOIS of the principal manufacturers.
including Mccormick, William Deering
and the AultmanM Miller Company, reads
as follows: 1--WE hereby agree that during
the season of 1891 we will abstain from
exhibiting at any and all county and
State and other similar expositions. ),
The reason given for this step is that
manufacturers have come to the conclu-
sion that the thousands of dollars spent
in advertising, while it goes toward sup
porting fairs, brings no returns.

rupee by American legislation. He an
nounced large decrease in revenue from
opium, and a steady increase in the land
revenue.

grain-producing districts, owing to the
long-continued droughts, which in the
State Of Vera Cruz, where large crops are
expected to be harvested, the heavy
rains, which have fallen incessantly SINCE

and the San Juan Rivers to rise, and the
extensive farming tracts along their
banks are under water. All the crops, in
consequence, are reported failures, and
the situation in Vera Cruz is desperate.
Cotton is heavily damaged and Alacotal-
pam is threatened by the rivers, which
are increasing in volume, and the people
residing there fear total destruction of the
place.
The crops between Tuxtepec and Omat-
tan are swept away, and these two towns
are under water, as are also four other
towns. The corn crop of Sotavento,
