taken from the ship. When the pumps were
set at work it was found that the ship could
be readily pumped out, and it was then de-

1t was fighter and was kept for that pur-
pose, but while being extremely ugly toward
dogs it was never known to be in the least
vicious toward any member of Mr.. Hem
ringhouse's family until yesterday. About
6 O'Clock last evening it slipped its collar in
some way and walked into tho house where
May, the three-year-old daughter Of its

girl petted it for awhile. and it seemed 10 be
in the best OF humor, but when she got
up from the floor, where she had been sit

the dog leaped upon her, and taking firm
hold of her body began tn shake her. Miss
Mary Keel, a friend of the family, was in
the room, but she was so much overcome by
fright that she was pOweresS to Interfere
The shaking lasted but a moment. the dogs
jaws relaxed and May fell to the floor. She
immediately crawled under a chair. The

| the chair seized her by the clothing, and be-
| gan to drag her about the room, shaking her
| all the time.
I At this point Mrs clearinghouse at
| tracted by the screams, came running into
the room. 1t happened that she had seen
her husband manage the dog when it had
fought other dogs, and she knew how to
take hold of it, She got it by the throat
! and ch0ked it until its hold upon the chiId's
! dress was l0OSened. Then she dragged il
from the room. Mr.. clearinghouse, who
was at work in the stable, also heard the
cries, and ran in just as the dog was thrown
out. He Immediately cIuterized the
wounds of his daughter and sent for ply

The wounds were all upon the head and
face of the child. There is an ugly CASH
over the right eye, another on the scalp and
another behind the right ear. besides a num-

are not considered dangerous, the little girl

ANOTHER VICTIM.
An Oakland Man Falls Into the Trap a.

An Oakland Man Falls Into the Trap at
the Ferry.
The man-trap i'll front of the ferry build
ing claimed another victim last night in the
person of Edward Nugent, a resident of
East Oakland. NaGent, who was some
what under the influence of liquor, got off
the Howard-street car and was running to
catch the 10 o'clock boat when he tumbIed
headlong into the open trench and disap-
peared into the depths below. Lights were
at once procured, and Z. d. Weymouth, an
erlsI>Loys of the Mafzst-stTeet cable road
went down. Nugent was found lying with
his face in the water and with the aid of the
byStanderS was got 10 the surface after con-
siderable difficulty, as the chasm is full of
timberS. Against these the mans head
must have come in contact when he fell, for
when brought to the surface he was covered
with blood from several severe scalp cuts.
Nugent was taken to the Waiting-roOm at
the ferry until the ambulance came. He
was badly dazed by his fall and when
placed in the wagon did not know where he
was. He is the second person who has
fallen into the same hole inside of twenty
four hours, a lady having been severely
hurt there Saturday night Unless steps
are taken to prevent them mere accidents
OF the same kind are sure to follow, as the
trap IS directly in the way of people going
from the Howard-street cars to the ferry.
There Is nothing whatever to prevent them
walking into it. Those present last night
were loud in their denuneallOn of the au-
thOritieS for allowing such place to remain
open, 10 the imminent danger of the public.

House Cat Sucks the Breath of Child
at Chicago.
The people of South Englewood ara on a
still hunt after the cats in the neghburhood
OF that village, and one large Maltese in par
ticular is doomed to an untimey end. That
animal, the property of Bernard Schram and
his wife, killed their fve-mouth-old child
Saturday night, and half the residents of the
village believe the feline sucked the infants
breath from its body. The Schrams reside
on Vinceunes road, between Elghty-seventh
and Eighty-nlnth streets. They retired at
the usual hour Saturday night, leaving the
baby in the cradle at their bedside.
They were awakened during the night by
the child's labored breathing followed by Il
piteOus, stifled moan. As Mr.. Schram arose
and struck light the large hOuse-cat leaped
from the cradle and escapad through tile
door. The infant was lying still, with its
little hand clenched and its face blue from
suffocaton. DR.. Tallman was hastily sum-
moned, but pronounced the child dead. He
said that suffocation was the cause, and that
the eat, attracted by the warmth of the
child's body, probably lay down on the
baby's face and smothered it.-Chicago

ing 1t having been denied by officials Of the
Dominion of Canada that overtures for a
reciprocity treaty with British Guiana had
been rejected, the Bureau of American Re
publics furnishes an extract from the annual
address of His Excellency Viscount, Cor
mansion, Governor General of British
Guiana to the Colonial authorities as fol-
lows: 1.-The passage Of the N Kinly tariff
act has. as you are aware, led the Govern
ment of Canada to make proposals for
reciprocal trade relations between that
colony and the British West In
dies and British Guiana. On this
subject l received from Hon. George f.
Foster, Finance Minister of the Dominion,
letter. ID which he proposes that in return
1or Glnerentlal treatment OF our sugars
and fruits exported to Canada equivalent
diiferential treatment should be accorded TO
certain Canadian products imported into this
colony. L replied that, while anxious in
every way to facilitate and promote an ex-
tension OF the commercial relations between
British Guiana and Canada, l could not en-
courage the Government of the Dominion
to believe that the consent of this Govern
nent would be given to any dfferential
treatment which will exclude the sugar of
this colony from admission to the markets
of the United States on the most favorable
terms.
The Latin American Department of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition has informa-
tion from Colombia that that republic will be
fully represented at the Chicago exposition.
The Brazilian papers which arrived
here on Saturday contained little else than
discussion of the reciprocity treaty with
the United States. While circumstances to
the treaty are very loud and earnest. they
come, friends OF the treaty assert, almost
entirely from English, French and German
importers who fear the loss of
large share of the trade to the
merchants and manufacturers of the United
States. The Brazilian Government pre-
pared to carry the treaty into effect upon

tiOns have been issued to ali collectors of

RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
The Alleged Manipulation Of Business by the

IOulQ LILIES,
CHICAGO, March 29-The chief subject
of gossip in railroad circles just now is the
alleged manipulation of traffic by the Gould
lines. That the result may be the dissolu-
ton Of the Presidents agreement is appar-
emily the firm belief of many managers.
Although the present coed behavior Of a
majority Of the Western roads is said, in
some quarters, TO be due to the operation of
the agreement, but freight officials tell a
different story. They say the reason they
are doubly careful In maintaining rates is
because of instructions from their PreSi-
dent, and that The latter are not influenced
so much by the agreement as by the Inter
state Commerce Commission in causing
Federal Grand Juries to investigate
violations of the law for the pur-
pose OF Furnishing offenders. 1t has
been learned that reduction of s
cents in the sugar rate from the seaboard
10 Missouri River points was assured wholly
by the Missouri Pacific, the kanawha Dis
patch getting its iull proportion to St.
