should be entered into between Great
Britain and her colonies, and that the
import duty imposed by Great Britain
on food products OF other nations with

not enhance the value OF food products

CAN 1T BE TRUEp
A Report That Prof. Ed. Hogan the
Aeronaut, Is Alive.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-"Prof." Hogan,
the aeronaut, who was supposed to
have been lost about two years ago,
twelve miles oil Sandy Hook, is. from
all indications, yet alive, awaiting an
opportunity t. return to the world i'll q
manner that will be of financial advan-
tage To himself. He sailed away from
Brooklyn, y. v, III an airship nearly
two years ago, ana was last seen by
passing vessel slowly descending to the
ocean. Peter &. Campbell, the Brook
lyn flying machine man, who is now in
this city, throws much light on the dis
appearance of Hogan. He met several
OF Hogan's relatives in Detroit, VINO
were not at all grleved at Hogan's loss.
They evidently know hun to be still
alive, though keeping his whereabouts
from al but his wife. Mrs. Hogan
lives IN Jackson, Mich. Hogan left
property amounting to nearly 0,000,
some OF which is now IN litigation.
Hogan's relatives in Detroit said they
believed he was alive. living quietly in. a
foreign country. The fact that Mrs.
Hogan has been absent for three
months at time from her home, and
that she is cheerful at all times regard
ing her husband, gives color to the
story.
