Then Nine insane Convicts Scaled
the Walls and Scattered.

AUBURN, N. Y, August 6-Nine insane
convicts confined in the state asylum in this
city, made daring escape this morning, ov-
empowering the attendants and scaling the
low walls of the asylum grounds. The men
were confined III ward 6, which at times Is
greatly oyercrowded. Four keepers were In
charge of the 81 patients in this ward. The
attempt to escape was made while two of the
keepers were at breakfast At a prear-
ranged signal number of the convicts threw
themselves on the remaining attendants and
in the tussle Keeper Welch was stabbed and
his keys taken. He was thrown into a cell
and the door locked. With the keys it was
an easy matter for the fugitives to open the
doors leading TO the asylum grounds, while
the remaing convicts held the other keeper.
Once in the yard the convicts scaled the wall
and separated. An alarm was given and in
a short time all the extra force of the asy-
lum employees were in hot pursuit. Before
10 O'Clock six fugltives were captured within
the city limits. In attempting to stop one
runaway citizen named George Salvage
was stabbed in the hand. dis captive final
ly yielded at the point Of revolver. Three
men are still at liberty. Young in years
they have memorable records In crime.

the Provisional Departments.
Captain Palmer Of New York at the
Head Of the Order.
Proceedings Of the Closing Day Of the
MeetIsg at Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, August Gas the session
of the Grand Army Encampment drew to a
close, Past Commander William Warner of
Missouri presented the report of the special
committee to consider the race question. 1t
says: "Your committee has carefully con-
sidered the clear and frank statements of the
Commander-in-Ch Chief regarding the Difficult
ties existing between the posts in the depart
ments Of louisiana and Mississippi The
committee has considered all the documents
submitted and arguments laid before 1t as
to the causes leading to the existing trouble
in that department. The old posts In
Louisiana and Mississippi are composed of
white comrades. the new posts of colored
comrades. The contention is that the latter
posts are tainted with fraud in their organi-
zation. The remedy suggested, of sepa-
rate department OF concurrent Jurisdiction
for colored veterans, involves an amendment
to our rules and regulations. In view of the
facts submitted to your committee, il is of
the opinion that it would be inexpedent to
place authority with the Commander in
Chief to organize new provisional depart
ments In states with organized departments. !"
A minority report signed by one man was
presented. Discussion arose, but finally by
a viva vOce vote the majority report was
overwhelmingly adopted.
Past Commander Warner, chairman of the
committee on the address of the Commander
in-Chief, reported resolution, which was
adopted, petitioning Congress for legislation
providing for the custody and care of the
Mount McGregor cottage, and for amend
ments to the Revised Statutes to provide
more explicitly that preference be given old
soldiers in government appointments.

Spreckels. Harrison and Z. G. knight refn-
cries OF Philadelphia, which for several days
have been selling 1-16 of a cent below the
trust rate have restored their prices to the
trust rate, and granulated sugar closed in
both markets at 1-16 cents. Even this fig
ure is an eighth below the ruling price of the
last month and makes sugar lower than it
has ever been. Although sugar usually ad-
vances in August, when the fruit season
opens, the tendency is now toward cheaper
prices. The wholesale dealers have various
opinions, however, regarding the sugar out

firm said:

fit OF cut directly, even though the cut is

THEY DIE OF STARVATION

India, dispelling all fears of failure of the
crops in that portion of the country were
rains have fallen. there has been no rain
in the Chingleput and North Arcot districts
in this presidency and all hopes Of averting
famine are abandoned. The heat is unprece-
have succumbed to the long drought and all
are withered and burned. The effect Of the
scarcity of food is being felt and great suf-
fering exists among the inhabitants of the
district. Many deaths from starvation are
repoIted 1t is impossible to get food for
cattle, and as a result. live stock of every de-
scription is dying in large numbers every
where in the districts. Not only the poorer
classes Of the population are suffering from
the scarcity of food, but many natives Of
high caste are making application to the
authorities for relief to keep themselves and

Men who Lived In Prison Pens.

DETROIT, August GA sensation has been
created today by the address of the presi-
dent of the National Association Of Union
ex-Prisoners of the War. E. 81. Williams of
Indiana. Referring to the treatment accord
ed ex-prisoners, the president says:
I'm view Of the great and unprecedented
hardship and suffering endured as prisoners,
we believe that special compensation is due
us. Many, when captured, were robbed Of
what little earnings they had saved from the
small compensation allowed by the govern
ment, as we'll as other valuables taken from
them. Many were held for months after
their term of service had expired, while 9th
ers were compelled to expend their own
means in order to get home after their re-
lease, all Of which ought to be valid claim
against the government. 1t would seem that
the sufferings and death of 1900 of our COM
rades, who are buried around southern pris-
Ons. should ever be kept sacred In memory
of what they suffered for their country; for
by the sacrifice by such men civilization
survives. Yet for % years our government
has never so much as given us vote of
thanks for these services"
This portion of the presidents address
was formally approved by the association.
Among the reports Of the committees was

ForeIen Notes.

The South Russian crop prospect is i'm
proving. The general yield will be about 60
per cent. Wheat Yields about IS per centage
on an average. Rye will be a failure. The
the crops in Volga provinces are bllghted
and famine is imminent.
England and France are negotiating to
take action for the protection Of the subjects
In China, If such action should become
necessary. 1t is stated that Germany will
join England and France in the work.
The French ambassador at St. Petersburg
has handed to M. De Giers, the Russian
minister, two holy banners captured by the
French in church at Eupat0ris during the
Crimean war and which were deposited in
the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The
restoration of the banners has deeply i'm
pressed the Russian public.
A Berlin paper says Chancellor Van Ca
privi has told Mr.. Phelps, American minis
ter there, that EmperorWilliam will perhaps
visit the Worlds Fair at Chicago. This
statement. however, lacks confirmation. The
Vossische ZeituDg says the idea of holding
the Worlds Fair in a country bound by Nc
KinleYism is grOtesuue.
