COMMERCE ON THE LAKES.
The Next Congress Expected to Devot
Much Attention to the Subject.

The Next Congress Expected to Devote
Much Attention to the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Aug. - The COM
merce on the great lakes is a subject
which viii probably receive more atten-
tion during the next congress than has
ever before been devoted to it. The fact
that already steamer laden with up
wards of 1900 tons of grain has made a
successful trip from Duluth to Liver
pool adds greatly to general interest
in the matter. With view to person
ally inspecting the requirements neces-
sary for successful navigation OF those
vast inland seas, number of congress
men and Washington correspondents
have visited the waters during the sum-
mer as guests of the Vessel Owners asso-
citation of Cleveland. A party of cores
pondents has just returned from tour
of the entire American chain Of
lakes from Duluth to Buffalo, taking in
Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, ST..
Clair and Erica distance Of 2,617 miles.
There are now engaged in commerce ON
the lakes more than 1000 vessels, repre-
senting an investment of upwards of
$50, 10000 The average carrying ca
pacity of the steamers plying thsee
waters Is about 2,500 tons. The 500
canal at Sault Ste. Marie, through which
all commerce for the Northwest has to
pass, will only permit a draught OF
fifteen feet, five or six inches, there be-
ing but sixteen feet of water in the great
lock at that point. Nearly all the coal
transported to the Northwest passes over
that route and should anything serious
happen to the single lock now in use a
coal famine would probably follow.

THINKS THE WAR OVER.

England Will Recognize the victors When
They Reorganize the Government.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Chilian war Is
acknowledged to be over and it is stated
semi officially that as soon as the gov
eTnment of Chill is reorganized by the
victors the new administration will be
recognized by Great Britain. AS this
would not necessarily mean the end Of
the war from an official point of view,
no action will probably be taken here for
the present. A recognition of belliger-
ency would be useless and is not prob
ably desired by the successful Insur-
gents, as that would imply what they
now pretend to deny--the right of Bal
maceda to belligerency, or that even any
war had been carried on. 1t is expected
here that Balmaceda will join the list of
exiled ex-monarchs and ex-presidents in
France. His family left Santiago some
months ago and are said to be iu Buenos
Ayres awaiting his arrival in the event
Of defeat.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. - The Sioux
Indians of South Dakota have made a
claim against the government for $10,-
000, 600 for the destruction of the game
that formerly abounded In the great
West. This claim lis forwarded to the.
Indian Office by Special Agent Cooper,
now at Pine Ridge, engaged in prepar-
ing and settling the claims of the In
dians for losses sustained during the late
Sioux uprising. There was in the last
Indian appropriation bill 800, 900 APP
propriated to pay the Indians not en-
gagged in the war, but who sustained
losses by reason of hostilities. Agent
Cooper says that the Indians are great
claimants, every one coming forward
and declaring that he was friendly, and
that he had lost "heap" stuff during the
troubles. The $40, 600, 900 claim, how
ever, is unique, but indicates that the
red men are getting the ways of the
whites very rapidly. The claim Is in the
shape of petition and reads as follows:
Sir-We Indians wants to get paid for
all these wild animals. once we live upon
for our food. Not only those things, also
there are all kinds of iron was found here,
and should mention some of names of
these things Buffalo, elk, black-tail
deer, big wolf, all other kinds of deer and
wolf; also gold, silver, also all other kinds
of iron
This petition is signed by 792 Indians,
or least their names are appended, and a
fantastic list it 10, showing the nomen-
cature of the Sioux to be not only
unique but vigorous. Young Man.
Afraid-of- His Horses, in presenting the
petition to Agent Cooper, said that some
time ago when he was in Washington
he had talk with the Great Fathea
about this claim for game killed, and
was encouraged to believe that the Great
Father would make some return to hi
red children. When Agent Cooper askei

MORE WEATHER.
The Government Endeavorine to Estab-
lish Novel System of Forecasts.


lish Novel System of Forecasts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE weather
bureau is endeavoring to establish q
novel system Of weather forecasts. AL
ready the principal railroads of the
country have adopted the plan of dissem-
mating weather prediction by displaying
signal flags on trains and the bureau
hopes to extend this system by having
locomotives give their signals by means
of their whistles. Professor Harrington,
the chief of the weather bureau, has ar
ranged a system of whistle combinations
by means of which persons living at
distance from the railroads can receive
the forecasts. By repeating each COM
bination few times, with an inter-
val of ten seconds between, possibilities
of error in reading the fore
casts will be avoided, such as may arise
from variable winds or failure to hear
the warning signal. As the weather
forecasts are telegraphed daily to large
number of stations Of the weather bu-
reau, and to railroads in various sections
of the country, there are many small
towns which may obtain them by tele-
phone, free of expense; they may also be
obtained from the daily newspapers.
Those desiring to display or sound the
signals, and who are not able to obtain
the forecasts as above, should communi-
cate direct with the director of the state
weather bureau, and If it is impracti-
cable for the United States to bear the
expense Of transmission they will be fur
nished at the regular commercial rate
and sent collect"

The suItan's stand.

LoNpoN, Sept. 1.-The sultan has
alarmed both Russia and France by his
UNEXPECTEDLY firm attitude in favor of
Bulgaria and against Servia. The Rus
sian demand for war indemnity, or as
an alternative the cession of territory,
has failed to produce any effect, or at
least any effect favorable to Russia. In
stead, the sultan becomes stern and ag-
gressive, and declares substantially that
Servia must not menace Bulgaria. For
some time past the English government
has been taking active measures to coun-
teract Russian and French intrigue at
Constantinople, and to convince the sui
tan that the English were his friends
and that Russia under any guise could
only be an enemy of Turkey. These ef
forts have apparently been successful.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The Herald

Valparaiso, Chill Aug. 3.-The Chan
eral regiment of the Congressional army
hHs taken formal possession of Santiago
and practically the last act in the bloody
drama of revolution which has torn
Chill to pieces for the past seven months
is closed. As soon as the news reached
Santiago of the overwhelming defeat of
the government troops on the heights of
Placilla and the fall of Valparaiso, and
the people knew that Balmaceda's
power was gone and they had nothing
to fear from his wrath, their enmity to
this government broke forth. The cry
was raised that the president should be
killed, and mob started for his house.
It grew in numbers and fury as it went
through the streets, and by the time it
reached the executive mansion was
Ripe for Amy Bloody Deed.
Short shrift would have been allowed
to the president had he been caught.
The bloodthirsty fury of the mob was
balked. Then the mob's desire for re-
venge found vent in the application Of
the torch. Soon Balmaceda's house was
mass of flames. Before it had been
destroyed the mob marched off to the
house of Senator Goday, the ex-ministel
Of the interior and an ardent Balmaced
est, and set on fire his house. Then the
residence of Balmaceda's, mother, Gen,

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Worlds
special from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
II have had an interview with Manigal,
Legitime, Prophete and Piquant. There
has been fusion between Manigal and
Legitime on one side and Prophete and
Piquant on the other. Manigal is OPP
posed to Hippolyte chiefly because he
claims that the president promised to
cede Mole st. Nicholas to the United
States government. Legitime indorses
the views of Manigal and accuses Pro-
phete of attempting to poison him in
July. Prophete denies this strenuously.
The time Of the departure of the rebels
for Hayti is uncertain.
