the waves do not cause so much rolling as
when they strike the upright sides of a
common vessel. The bow end is sharp and
circular and the stern rounded in a similar
way. With all these advantages Captain
McDougall thinks that seasickness can al
most entirely be avoided, but at present
his designs have reference only to the
c%heapening of freight transportation.
In towing barges the saving is enor-
NOUS. The "whaleback" barge runs so
evenly that the bow does not "yaw," and
consequently the tension is uniform on the
tug line, and at the same time the absence
Of top hamper in the barge greatly de-
creases the rolling. The total result is
that in a smooth sea the saving is over a
third and in a rough sea much greater
at least 80 says Mr.. Wetmore, secretary
of the American Steel Barge company,
which is organized to work Captain Nc
Dougall's patents. Many striking instances
are cited of the success of the "whaleback"
in storms. AS to the passenger steamer Of
this pattern there is yet much to learn,
but it is plain enough that if Captain Nc
Dougall can prevent seasickness he will
have a tremendous patronage, whether he
saves anything in expenses or not.

His Ninth Victim,

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 17.-Anto-
MO Carrisci, a noted bandit chief and
desperate and the slayer Of eight men,
has added another victim to his list.
Torriboro Pastrango, a deputy sheriff,
who had secured evidence showing that
Carrisci was the murderer of Charles
Fusselman, a sergeant Of Texas rangers,
attempted to arrest the bandit Friday
night at a fandango given on the Texas
side of the river. AS the deputy sheriff
advanced into the room the bandit drew
a revolver and shot Pastrango dead,
after which he made his escape. Fifty
Mexican rangers followed his trail into
the mountains, but it is not likely he
will be captured. The residents Of the
peninsula have made application to Gov.
ernor Hogg that a detachment of state
troops be stationed there.

Germany Weakening.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-It is reported from
Berlin that the government is preparing
for a surrender to a certain extent on the
question on corn duties. The clamor
has become so overwhelming that chan
cellor Caprivi can hardly maintain him
self against it. It is said that the kaiser
has referred the matter entirely to
the chancellor, to act in his discretion.
Both the kaiser and the chancellor
would rather give Austria and Hungary
the exclusive benefit Of the German de-
mand for foreign corn, under the COM
mercial treaty soon to go in force. and
this has been the chief motive for delay
but the distress on account of the high
price of bread is SO great and growing
that prolonged waiting may, it is. feared,
result in riots and blOodshed. Hence
probable mitigation Of the corn duties
within a few days. The government it.

President Harrison Will Not Refuse to Be
a Candidate for denomination.
CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to The
Tribune from Cape May, N. j., says:
President Harrison, through Private Sec
rotary Halford, Saturday, denies the
story that he is about to declare over his
own signature that he will refuse to be
a candidate for denomination. The presi-
dent replied in his usual name that he
would not discuss newspaper articles.
Mr.. Halrison's friends say. that while the
president is not chasing after a nominal
ton he desires a denomination. His
s~ubordinates are doing the work while
he looks on and notes the effect. The
president has not written any letter de-
Ginning to permit his name to come be-
fore the national convention, but it is
said that there exists an implied under
standing between Mr.. Harrison and Sec
retary Blaine to the effect that one of
them will decline in advance should the
other develop the greater strength. This
is simply a TACT agreement existing only
in the inferential sense, but it seems to
be an agreement nevertheless. All of
MI. Harrison's friends seen lately seem
confident Of his denomination,

which the son worked. At the age Of
nineteen, on Sept. 10, 1861, he enlisted in

had taken part in a very large number of
engagements, and always with honor. AT

Three Parachute Leapers Killed

and browns.
Aeronaut johnson Falls 1000 Feet at
Tacoma-A Lady Performer
Killed at Cincinnati.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Professor
De I've, the noted aeronaut and parachute
leaper, was drowned, while giving an ex-
hibition at Pleasant Beach, one Of the
pleasure resorts on Onondaga lake, and
from 10000 to 10000 persons witnessed
the catastrophe. The professor had been
sngaged for a week with Prince Leo, an
other a%eronaut, and this was the initial
performance. At the height of about
1000 feet, he swung himself loose from
the balloon. The descent was very rapid.
Professor De I've was in a sitting posture
on the trapese when he struck the water.
There was a big splash, a motion Of the
hands in appeal for help and the daring
performer
Was Seen No More.
The drowning took place in fifty feet
of water and at a distance Of 500 feet
from the shore. Not IN attempt was
made at rescue though q boat had been
provided for the purpose before the as
cension. 1t was at first supposed the
professors feet had got tangled up in
some way with the guy ropes and that
he was thus unable to assist himself.
But the theory now is that he was stun
ned bx the shock Of the descent and by
contact with the cold water of the lake.
He had become very much heated by
his exertions in the imitation Of the ba-
loon and still more so as a result of a
trepeze performance during the ascent.
He was an excellent performer and
swimmer, and when advised to take a
life preserver with him boosted that he
could swim the length of the lake twice.
The body has not been recovered. The
professor was from Manchester England.
