WILLARD TALKS,

He Tells a United Press Reporter How
He Found Things in tho Northwest.
NEW York, Nov. 23.-Henry Willard
has just returned from a tour of the
Northwest. To a United Press reporter
he said: During my trip I did not find
half as strong a sentiment for silver as I
expected. Nine-tenths of the business
men were against the existing silver law
and against any additional legislation
on the subject. I believe with proper
legislation the bulk of these silver states
west a be brought to take a proper
view of the matter. Trade in st. Paul
and Minneapolis has been greatly re-
vived under the impetus of a bountiful
crop in Minnesota and the two Dakotas.
This revival of trade is certain to affect
u earnings" Mr.. Willard further
stated that while it was trne that some
of the cities of Washington and Oregon
have shown rapid growth during the
past two years, it was equally true that
the whole Pacific Northwest has been
suffering for a year past and is still suf-
fering from an ~unfavorable condition of
every branch of business. This depres-
sion, he said, had been felt in the de-
cline of traffic since last spring, but the
vast amount of money now going into
circulation in the Pacific states in pay
ment for the crops-estimated at $780,
DOC, OOO-would produce a general i'm
provement next spring.

THE CHANNEL CLOSING.
Tugs Working Night and Day to Get

Tugs Working Night and Day to Get
Wheat Out of West Superior.
DULUTH, Nov. 20. Will there is no
Ice in Duluth harbor, there is in the up
per bay, and the two elevator compan-
los at West Superior are working tugs
day and night to keep it broken. They
have about 1900, 900 bushels of wheat
chartered to go out before the close of
navigation, and the vessel owners are
being bonused 1 cent a bushel by the
companies to take their vessels to su-
perior. A large steel tug and two
wooden ones are working steadily at $40
an hour apiece to keep the various chan
nels and docks at Superior open, and
the tug men are charging $40 for shift
ing vessels between adjoining docks.
Indications now are that wheat re
ceipts here for the three months of Sep.
TENDER, October and November will
foot up 2 5000, 900 bushels, with ship
ments of about $4,000, 900. If these
figures prove correct they will exceed
the greatest full year ever known here
by 5000, 900 bushels receipts and by
1000, 600 bushels shipments. The move
ment to Duluth this fall has far ex-
ceeded any wheat movement ever known
anywhere, and will have required by
the close of this month about 50. 600
freight cars and 1926 vessels of the
largest. average size.

The Servians Discontinued.

VIENNA, Nov. 20.-A dispatch from
Belgrade says that great discomfort ex-
lists with the terms granted by the re-
gency to ex-King Milan, and hat the
populace are SC aroused that an out
break is feared. The poorer Servians,
ground down by taxation, regard the
1900, 900 francs paid to Milan as out
rageous extravaganza. Milan, it is said,
threatened to remarry Natalie, come
back to Belgrade and let Natalie have
her W way with the men who had
driven her out of Servia. This was
not an empty threat, as Milan is a fav-
orite with the army which would
doubtless have obeyed his commands.
The regents, therefore, yielded to
Milan's terms, after an Intellectual pro-
test, and hereafter he is to have
1900, 900 francs a year for leaving Ser
via entirely alone. AS the ministry is
now seldom able to make both ends
meet, some new method will have to be
found to raise the money for Milan to
spend i'll luxurious idling in Paris.

News of the Sailing of War Ships Has a
Salutary Effect on Chiiinns.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-Special dis
patches to The Herald from Valparaiso
says that Chill has at length conceded a
point to the United States in her treat
ing of the case of the assault upon the
Baltimore's sailors. Captain Schley re-
ceived anotice granting his request that
the United States representatives be
furnished by the court Of inquiry with
copies of all dispositions made before it
in investigation. It will be remembered
that this same request had been alb
solutely refused on all previous occa-
sions. 1t is supposed that the CHILEAN
authorities, finding that our government
was maintaining fair but firm attitude,
has determined to meet it half way. 1t
has become known here and in Santiago
that the United States was dispatching
a large force of war ships to the Pacific
squadron, and there is no doubt that
this news had a salutary effect in Chill.

He Gives His Life to Save His Fellow
Workmen from Death.
WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 19.-Napo-
leon de Montague, a miner, was killed
In the Lance colliery, at Plymou tn,
while endeavoring to save his fellow
workmen from a horrible death. He
had fired a shot and ran behind a pillar.
When it exploded the flash set fire to
some gas near the roof of a chamber
communicating with the main gangway.
Realizing that the fire might spread in
a moment through the whole mine De
Montague tore off his coat and smoth-
cred the fame. Just as the fire was ex-
tinguished the roof of the chamber,
loosened by the blast, fell upon him.
He was extricated as soon as possible,
but only to die in the arms of his res
cuers. Had the fire spread to the large
bodies of gas in the mine a terrible acct
dent would have followed, endangering
the lives of over a hundred men. De
Montague leaves a widow and five chill
dren.

MAIDEN Rock, Wis. Nov. 19.-Robert
S%paulding was shot dead near here by
John Fertig without cause. There

tween William Spaulding and Fertig
about some wood, and Fertig threatened

Agitation in Norway Viewed with Alarm
by Sweden.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-Advices from
Stockholm state hat the direction of
events in Norway is viewed in Sweden
with the .gravest anxiety. The Nor
wegian agitation is attributed to Rus
sian and Danish influence and is said to
be supported financially from abroad.
The Norwegians are more closely at.
tached to the Danes than to the Swedes
and make no "concealment that they
would prefer union with Denmark. It
is feared in Stockholm that the storth-
ing may follow up it's action for separ-
ate representation abroad by declaring
Norway a republic. In that event war
would be inevitable, as there is a strong
feeling in Sweden that the common peo-
pie of Norway, most of whom are ex-
cluded from voting, would not sustain
the storthing in the event of a civil war
and especially as Sweden would promise
a more liberal suffrage as a reward for
adhering to the union Of the two coun-
tries.

q wonderful phenomenon from
Rossville, a little town nineteen miles
west of Topeka, on the Union Pacific.
For nineteen days, it is said, rain fell
necessarily on the orchard belonging to
d. Klein, a prominent resident. This
orchard is in the town and is bounded
on the east by MI. Klein's residence, on
the other three sides by fences. The
rain did not fall outside of Mr.. Klein's
premises, but for nineteen days there
was no intermission in the fall and it
was only stopped by the present cold
snap. Il

IT FINALLY GIVES OUT.
Now Yofk's Long Threatened Water
Famine n Reality.

Now York's Long Threatened water
Famine u Reality.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-As a result Of
the big break in the conduit in East
New York Saturday afternoon, by
which four men were killed, Brooklyn
is on the verge Of a water famine.
There is scarcely enough water in the
Ridgeway reservoir to last, even with.
the utmost care, over twelve or thirteen
hours. The situation is serious, indeed.
Heroic measures have been adopted to
make the present supply of water last as
long as possible, or until relief comes. and
a number of the great industries of the
city will be at q standstill for at least
one day. All the factories using the
city's water have been ordered to shut
down, so as to w the water for the
necessities of the general public. The
great engine which runs the cable on
the Brooklyn bridge has been stopped
and as many people as possible are being
showed across the bridge by locomo-
tives.- All the fires under the boilers at
the Brooklyn navy yard have been
drawn and work generally suspended.
The water has been shut off from the
boilers in all hotels and Office buildings
and as a consequence, not an elevator in
the whole city was runningin the morn
ing. Work in the city depending on
motive power has been suspended, and
the number thrown out of work runs
far above 80, 900. II is hoped the repairs
can be completed by night, but well in
formed persons say that the work can
not be finished before morning at the
earliest. !.

Railroad Commissioner Powerless.

HURON, S. d., Nov. 19.-Up to a late
hour the state board Of railway COM
missioners had failed to hit on any plan
afording immediate relief from the ex-
listing grain blockade. Warehouses
}evators, barns and every available
building at many stations are filled
with wheat and nc cars to haul it away.
Thousands Of bushels are piled in heaps
on the. open prairie, and unless soon
cared for will spoil. Many buyers re-
fuse to receive any more grain for lack
of storage and shipping facilities The
demand for ars exceeds the daily sup
ply from fifteen to eighteen hundred.
In one day the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul was short 700 cars, the
Chicago and Northwestern 800, and
the Great Northern 800. Each COM
pany is doing it's utmost to supply
the demand, but it is impossible to do
80. Ten extra trains have been added
by the Northwestern, and nearly as
many by the other two principal systems
in this part of the state, but they are
unable to make any neadway in moving
the grain now awaiting shipment.
Hundreds Of thousands of bushels are in
sight with no probability of early ship
ment. Reports from Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Duluth show grain shipments
from South Dakota up to date to be far
in excess of the entire shipment last
year, and only about half the crop is
threshed. Cold weather and snow the
past week interrupted threshing, and
the farmers have taken advantage of

lions looking to a peaceful settlement OF

Pelotas on Monday opened up communi.
cation with the dictator saying that un.

made a long and bloody civil war could
not be averted. The visconde did this
in spite of the fact that he only repre-
sented n out of three parties con

Grande Do Sui, another party favorins
an immediate advance upon the dicta
tors forces, a third advocating a simple
defense of the new born independence OF
Rio Grande Do Sui. The dictator has
replied to these overtures by appointing

is said in this connection that both
parties have agents in New York and
London, who are commissioned to OBJ
tain war material for the dictator and
for the junta of the blossoming republic
of the South (Republica Do Sui. The
only question at issue in regard to these
proposed purchases seems to be the i'm.
portant one Of payment. British mer-
chants here have declined to execute
orders for ''machinery and other ap-
paratus for the development of Brazil
ian industries" on the ground that they
fear a further fall in the rate of ex.
change. Those refusals, it will be re-
membered, were made in face of the
fact that the Brazilians offered to de-
post an ample amount of paper cur
rency with the Bank of England as
security. In this connection it is now
surmised that the machinery and other
apparatus for the development of Bra
lillian industries may have been, in
some cases at least, machinery and
other apparatus for the development of
the war industry in Brazil.
