Senator Pierce had located here,

Hansbrough reports the United States
government appropriated 100000 for Il

sunday Morning.. Frost,

As will be seen by the telegraphic re-
ports below, the frost seems to have
been general over the state on Saturday
night, though it is probable that the
damage will lot be found to b. SO severe
as some of the reports would indicate
5omerepcrts from points north OF Grand
Forks, however, say that coed deal OF
wheat will not be cut, as much of it was
very backward.
Most of the farmers around Fargo
who had much wheat yet uncut, stayed
up on Saturday night and prepared
smudges where they did not rlready
have them ready. The reports from
those who used them were generally
strongly in favor of their use, as pre-
ventative of damage by frost.
The following are reports furnished
by the Western Union:
Red Lake Falis-Very little frost in
places.

Buried Alive.

ASPEN, Colo, Aug. 2s.-There was
cave-in on Phillips lease of the J. O..
johnson mine at noon yesterday, by
which Gus Anderson was imprisoned in
a drift. A large force of men was put
to shoveling away the dirt and ore that
blocked the drift, but it continued to
come down faster than it could be re
moved. This mode of rescuing the en-
tombed man was abandoned at 10 clock
last night An upraise is being driven
from the level below the one in which
the miner is imprisoned to connect with
the latter. Anderson was alive at 10
O'Clock, as he could be heard striking
with hammer at his end of the drift
It is believed he can yet be rescued
alive, but lie is confined in a space only
about ten feet long and six feet high,
and the air must be very foul by this
time. 1t will take two days to drive the
upraise.

Dnmnxe bx the Storm.

LONDON. Aug 2G.-It is feared the
full tale of the damage done by last
nights storm has not been told, and
there may have been considerable loss
OF life off the coasts. This assumption
is to some degree based on the fact that
the telegraph wires are down in many
sections where wrecks are likely to oc.
cur, and that. in the Clyde at least,
a number of yachts are known to have
been driven ashore. 1t now transpires
that four seamen who were thrown into
the water when tho steamer pinnace of
h. M. s. Pallas capsized, and who were
supposed drowned, were subsequently
rescued by boat from one of the other
British war ships.

New YORK, Aug. 21.-Captain Baker
of the Netherland line steamer Abaam
underwent an experience during his
last voyage which has caused quite a
sensation in marine circles here. The
ship reached here late yesterday and
went to her pier this morning. As soon
as the skipper got ashore this morning
he went to the office OF the agent of the
line, Van Den Toorn, and informed him
there was an attempt at mutiny on the
trip home and that one of the ring
leaders had paid the penalty of insub-
ordination with his life. According to
the story of Captain Baker the out.
break on board the vessel was the result
of plot to take possession of the ship.
The Abdam left this port on July 1S for
Rotterdam. She had on board upward
of 300 cabin and steerage passengers.
The craft had been running off shore
but twenty-four hours when the officer
on the bridge called upon the captain
and informed him that there was

evidence of their autagonism to the line
on previous trip of the vessel to this
port Captain Baker went below to
the furnace rooms when informed by
his officer that mischief was brewing
His presence was the occasion for
round of misses. He said nothing to
the men and returned to the deck. Go.
ing to his cabin he sent for Chief Engi
neer Beel. The latter told his superior
officer that the men were on the verge
of mutiny, and that he had pleaded
with them in vain. Il fear, he added,
"the men will draw the fires and leave
us in nice mess.'' "You do your duty
and let matters shape themselves, " said
Captain Baker. II have 300 passen-
gers on this ship and any man below who
tries to run this vessel will pay dearly
for it. Everything went we'll that night.
A quiet search was made among the
effects of the stokers for rum. but very
little was found. The craft was forty
eight hours out from port, ard Captain
had about made up his mind
that the fears of bis officers were ground
less when the vessel
