DROWNED AT LAT0NA.
J. Donaldson and Ida Sundberg
Perish in the Lake.
RESCUE WAS CLOSE AT HAND.
while They Are Changing Seats Their
Boat Capsizes-They Sank Once
and Never Rose Again.

4 young man named J. Donaldson and a
young woman named Ida Sundberg lost
their lives in a boating accident on Lake
Union, near Latona, last evening.
Between 5 and o'clock Donaldson, who
was aged about . years, and was an en-
ploye Of the Fremont mill, borrowed a
boat from Louis Anderson and John
Hendrlckson, who run bakery at the
Fremont end Of the Lake Union boulevard.
and went rowing with Ida Sundberg, aged
about 70 years, domestic who works for
family in the city. They rowed straight
mp to the portage between Lakes Wash
ington and Union, and about O'Clock
passed under the Latona bridge on the re-
turn trip.
They were about 80 yards west Of the
bridge when several persons who were
watching them from the Latona shore saw
Miss Sundberg take off her cloak and step
from the stern 10 the bow, apparently TO
change places with Donaldson. The boat
swayed 10 one side as she walked forward
and Donaldson jumped 10 catch her. The
whole weight Of both persons was thus
thrown on one side, and the boat turned
over, throwing them both into the water.
Il came up right side upwards, but was
full of water. Donaldson held TO the boat
with one hand while with the other he
supported Miss SundbeTg, who was
screaming so loudly for help that she
could be heard distinctly on the shore and
threw her arms wildly around her COM
panion.
The news of the accident soon attracted
a crowd to the Latona shore, and Charles
Pinkham and his young brother Albert
started TO the rescue. Without waiting to
bring oar-locks from their house. they took
their boat and padded out as quickly as
they could.
They were within twenty feet Of the
young couple when Donaldson, apparently
exhaused with holding on so long and by

MINERS WARNED AWAY.
Notice From the Strike Committee
Corey's View OF the Situation.

Corey's View OF the Situation.
The miners committee of the Western
Central Labor Union has accepted the de-
cision of the Black Diamond and Cedar
mountain miners, as contained in the res
olutions published yesterday, and issued
the following notice, which was distrib-
uted about the city and posted on the
walls IN all directions:

This notice attracted the attention of
Mr.. Corey and provoked him 10 a sardonic
smile. In jest he wrote across several
copies, which he saw posted on the walls.
the words:
Approved. T. b. Corey. superintendent of
mines, oregon Improvement Company
Superintendent Corey returned to Frank
lin yesterday. He was in good spirits and
seemed 10 think that the action ofthe Black
Diamond and Cedar mountain miners
in deciding that either all white men or all
negroes should be employed in the King
county coal mines, would prove favorable
TO the coal companies, as it made the issue
one Of race between the white and colored
miners. and not one of wages or conditions
of work between the coal companies and
their employees.
In regard TO the situation at Franklin
Mr.. Corey said: Many of the whites
have left the camp. and we can only count
about thirty-iiye who are still there. Some
of them have gone 10 work both at Frank
lin and Newcastle and number have rol a
away 10 Nanaimo. both from those mines
and from Cedar Mountain, Black Diamond
and Gilman. Many of the men are anx-
ious TO work, but are prevented by fear of
the radicals, and seem TO be going awav
until the present storm blows over. We
have more colored men at Franklin now
than We had at first, and they are mining
more coal than our present hosting ma
chinery will raise"
Reports from Gilman are that the strik-
ing miners have placed armed pickets all
around the mine and the town in the ex-
peciation that number of negroes will be
imported.

Tn. Cotton Growers Problem.


! The convention which met in Atlanta
Thursday for the purpose OF agreeing upon
q plan for reducing the amount Of cotton
produced does not seem to have done any
thing that will effect the object aimed at
The report that was adopted recommends
that the cotton acreage be reduced one-third,
and that on large plantations only twelve
acres 20 the pillow be planted.
The recommendation is q good one, but
will it have the effect which the cotton
planters desired 1t is quite certain that it
viii not. Col. Livingston, who was a MEM
Der OF the committee which made the re-
port, said in some remarks he made to the
convention that general practical co-orers-
ton in reducing the acreage was difficult TO
accomplish. If he had said that it was
something that could not be &C.
compiished he would have come
nearer the marx. As far back as the Oldest
inhabitant eau remember there has been
talk about reducing the acreage Of cotton
whenever the price OF cotton has been be-
low the profit line. But the talk never had
any effect as far as anybody could see In
reducing the acreage The cotton growers,
suffering from low price Of their product
one season hope for a better price the
next, and so they go on from year to year,
planting all the cotton they can cultivate
They must find it pays them to do so or
else they would plant less cotton aud give
more attention TO raising stock and c0iti-
waiting grain and fruits There does not
seem 20 be any other explanation Of the
tenacity with which they cling 70 cotton.
The recommendation Of the cotton coD-
vention will meet with the approval Of the
cotton growers, and each one of them prob
ably will advise his neiGhbors to plant less
cotton next year, but very few, IL any will
plant less themselves. Acting upon the i'm
preston that many will comply with the
recommendation about all Of them will en-
deavor TO increase their crops, with the
hope that there will be a reduction in the pro-
duction of cotton, aud that therefore the
| price OF it will be higher.
1t may be that if the price continues low
for four or five years the cotton growers
will reach the conclusion that they are
making a mistake. and will reduce their
cotton acreage. 1t looks now as il the only
way they could be convinced OF the folly OF
planting 30 much cotton is by having to
sell their crops at a price that yields no
profit.
Col Livingston told the convention tnat
the consumption of cotton in this country
could be increased by increasing the volume
of the currency. 1t is not easy to see how
he reaches that conclusion. He admits,
however, that slight increase in the con-
sumnfion in thia country would pof ha ~
much benefit in increasing the price, be-
cause the bulk Of the cotton goes abroad
The truth is, the problem OF reducing the
cotton acreage cannot be solved by conyen-
tons.

Chile Talks Back.


The Chilean government assumes very
independent tone in replying to this govern
ment's request for reparation and an
apology for the unprovoked attack upon
sailors Of the United States warship Bslti-
more in the streets Of Valparaiso. 1t In
! tends to take its own time in investigating
the attack upon the Baltimore's sailors, and
when the result is reached il will make IL
known. In the meantime II wants 1t dis
tinctly understood that It does not recognize
eny other authority than is own to judge
of the criminality of any of its citizens.
This sort of talk is on the line OF that
which appeared in Mr. Blaiae's dispatches
IL his controversy with the Italian govern
ment in the New Orleans affair. 1t is be-
lieved that the Chilean minister Of foreign
affairs has copy of Mr. Blaine's dispatches
in that controversy, and is shaping his
course ia accordance with the position
assumed IL them. He is aware, Of course,
that there are essential differences between
Valparaiso. but it suits his purpose at
present 10 appear not TO be.
1t is not probable that the Chilean govern
ment VIII persis: in its course to the point OF
a rupture with this government, because it
would be folly 20 do so. 1t is practically
bankrupt. the government OF Balmaceda
having wasted all the Immediately avail
with the congressionalists. And the Chileaus
can hardly be anxious for a war in which
they would have no chance for success.
1t has been suggested that President Hsr-
rison's administration would like to have a
war with Chile, because he might make it
the means Of assisting him 10 get renomi-
nation, but this suggestion can hardly
be considered as having any foundation.
The probabilities are that while the de-
mands Of this government will be insisted
upon with flrmness, they will be pressed in
such a manner that the way will be open to
Chile to give ample satisfaction to this gov
eminent without unnecessarily humilating
itself.
The dispatches indicate that there is a
very bitter feeling in Valparaiso against the
crew Of the Baltimore, and that IL is not adj
visable for any of the sailors TO visit that
city. In view Of the fact that Valparaiso
favored Balmaceda, and this country is
charged with having favored him also, the
hostility Of the people OF Valparaiso TO
Americans is rather remarkable. TO say the
least Of it. Probably they are seeking 70
show their loyalty to the new government
by an unfriendly attitude to those who were
supposed to favor Balmaceda. But what
ever the cause Of their hostility may be,
this government cannot submit to insult
and outrage at their hands. 1t is strong
enough TO protect its citizens in any part of
the world and must do so.

His Patient Wouldn't Tell.

A somewhat breezy incident happened in the
Office of Winsted professional man a few days
ago. He had concocted a very savory liquid
from mixture of several choice commercial
brands. says the Hartford Courdnt, and invited
his friend, local physician, TO ''have some
thing" which he did. A day or two afterward
the invited friend thought he would like an
other taste, and leisurely wended his way to
his friends office
When he entered the doctor had lady in his
dental chair, filing her teeth. He looked
around, and seeing his caller. said: Hello!
come after some more RUM" The caller nearly
tainted at the salutatoD. and simply stared at
the dentist, who finally again blurted out
You look pale around the gills. Hold on
minute and I'll give you some more rum"
The caller again was thunderstorm, but
finally managed to say, Doctor, con l see you
moment In your parlor?"
Certainly" said the dentist and he imme-
diately stepped away from his lady patient and
passed into the parlor.
When there the friend bridling his indigna-
ton, said in freezing tone: Doctor what is
the matter with you, anyway? Are you crazy?
Are you drunk: or are you the simon-pure ex-
tract OF BANKED fool? What's the matter
with you, anyway"
20 that's all right said the dentist that
lady won't give you away-she's deaf and
