ITALY ARMING,
Unusual Activity Among h italian Mill.
y-Leay Recalled.

Unusual Activity among the italian Mill
tary-Leaves Recalled.
LONDON, 10.-The news that Italy is
fastening to supply herself with a vast
quantity of new rifles does not tend to
allay the war feeling, as in the embar-
raised financial condition of that country
nc expenditure, aver for military pur-
poses, would be made except under a
conviction of immediate necessity. The
italian feet also has received instruc-
tions to be ready for service upon call,
and many both of officers and men have
been recalled from leave of absence.
This action. however, like the notice to
the German reserves, it is suggested,
may be simply precautionary. It is
rumored that the British feet now in
the Mediterranean will shortly be or
dered to Constantinople, as a hint
to the Sultan of the possible fate
Of that city should he become too ag-
gressive toward England. 1t is also
stated, in a dispatch from STEAMBOAT,
that the British feet, when it arrives,
will pass the Dardanelles into the Black
sea, and give notice thereby to Russia
that the Black sea is not a Russian lake.

Miss Villa Poole of McHenry County,
North Dakota, and Miss
Mamie Lane
Of North st. Paul, are Fatally In
jured in the Races at Mime
sofa Fair.
Their Horses Fall and Both Ladies
Thrown-Miss Poole's Arms
Broken.

ST.. PAUL, Sept. 1O.-A sad accident
marred the pleasures at the state fair
grounds this afternoon. In the ladies'
race, Miss Villa Poole, the well-known
equestrienne3 of McHenry county, North
Dakota, and Miss Mamie Lane, of North
st. Paul, we're fatally injured. The Ia
dies got away to a fine start, and we're
going down the back stretch at a great
rate. At the half, Miss Poole's horse
fell and Miss Lanes horse fell over
them. Both ladies we're picked up
bleeding and unconscious, and taken to
the grand stand. An examination by
physicians showed that Miss Poole had
both arms broken and was badly injured
abouG the head. Miss Lane had her col
lar bone and one rib broken, and was
badly injured about the head. It is
thought both will die.

The Sultan's Dilemma.

LONDON, Sept. ia Berlin dispatch
says that the utterances of M. Defre-
ceniet. the French minister of war, in
favor of peace, are not regarded as of
much weight in Germany, owing to the
fact that the attitude of the French
people remains so reselutely hostile, and
that of Russia is virtually aggressive.
It is not believed, however, that war will
begin on the Franco-Prussian frontier
but that the drama will be opened at
Constantinople. The news from that
point has for several days overcome in
interest anything heard from France,
and the opinion is openly expressed that
a collision will shortly take place be-
tween the British and the porte, unless
the sultan chooses to yield to England's
demands. If he defies Lord Salisbury,
he may expect to see the Russians, under
pretext of assisting him, promptly occu-
Ply Constantinople; and if he does give
in to the British, then the Russians be-
come his enemies. The sultan is said to
be most perplexed over the situation and
angry at the dismissed ministers, whom
he ccuse of having got him into the
dilemma,

They Want the Earth.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-"Indians are
developing into great claimants" said
an official of the department a few
days ago, and it would seem that it was
right.
John B. Bottineau, attorney for the
Turtle mountain band Of Chippewa In
dams, is now in Washington working
for a claim Of those Indians, in which
there is demanded from the government
10000, 900 acres Of land in North Dakota.
The territory claimed by these
Indians is bounded on the north
by the international line, on
the east by the Red river of the North,
on the south by the Cheyenne river to it's
head waters; thence in a n~ortheasterly
direction to the Little Knife river, q
tributary of the Missouri, thence to the
boundary line.
This is IN old claim and has been re-
vived at this time because the last con-
gross provided for a commission to nego-
tiate for the removal of the Turtle
Mountain Indians to White Earth with
the other Chippewas. Bottinean imme-
diately filed a protest and claimed tho
land described. There are about $500
Indians interested in tbs claims.

Minnesota Grain Growers Form a Big
Association-A War in Prospect.
ST. PAUL, Sept. l0.-The disclosures
made in the partial legislative investiga-
tion in the operations of elevator com
panies have evidently reused the farm
ers of Minnesota. They are determined,
it seems, to no longer continue at the
mercy of the elevator people, and a meet
ing Of prominent grain growers Of the
state was held at the capital, and it was
decided to forthwith incorporate the
Grain Growers association, with
a capital stock of 81, 00o, 900.
The farmers are anxious to become in
dependent of the elevator companies,
and towards that end they have com
bined to erect and operate elevators in
their own interests. This means that
there will shortly be a bitter, prolonged
fight between the farmers and the ele-
vator companies. State Senator PROFITS
field, of Ada, was elected president of
the association; Hon. Charles Canning.
of Duluth, treasurer, and R. J. Hall, of
Morris, secretary.

Republic of San Salvador Visited
by a Most Disastrous
Earthquake.
Whole Towns Reported to Have
Been Wiped Out of Ex-
istence,
Millions of Dollars Wor. b of Prop
erty Destroyed-Loss of Life
Not Known.

New YORK, Sept. ia cable dis
patch to The Herald from San Salvador
says: Millions of dollars worth of prop
erty and many lives were destroyed in
this republic by earthquake. Whole
towns were wiped out and hardly a city
in the country, except those along the
coast escaped the awful effects of the
c%onvulsion. There have been indica-
lions for several days past that a dis
turbance Of more than unusual power
might be expected. At just 1856 a. m.
the earth began to shake. The wave
had a strong vertical and oscillatory
movement. People rushed into the
streets in their night clothes, and while
the shock lasted only twenty seconds,
before it had passed away there was a
panic stricken mob making it's way to
the open country outside the city. The
scene was terribly sublime. Men,
women and children were weeping,
shrieking and praying in the streets;
walls of houses cracked, tottered and
fell; there was a deep continuous rum

overcast, and the air was filled with a
fine, penetrating dust. While the shock
lasted the earth

and strong men were unable to keep
their feet. The panic stricken people
fled to the open country outside Of the
city and temporary shelters were thrown
up wherever possible, but nearly all the
men and a great many of the women
and children had only the sky for a COW
ering. All through the morning there
were slight shocks, but none approach
ing the intensity of that which had been
30 destructive. The inhabitants are
afraid to return to their houses, and are
making themselves az comfortable as
possible in their temporary camps. Pres.
ident Ezeta is doing everything he can
to stop the panic and care for the home
less people until it is considered safe for
them to go back to their homes. The
towns throughout the country have suf-
fered more severely than the capital
even.
Comasagua Was Completely Destroyed.
~Cojutepeque, Santa Tecla, San Pedro
and Masah were so badly shaken that
they are practically ruined, while the
shock was plainly felt and damage done
by it at Santa Ana and Susimtepeque,
fully sixty miles from here. It is i'm!
possible at this writing to form any idea
as to the number of lives which have
been lost. Two people were killed here,
though there were many miracu-.
lous escapes from death. It is feared,
however: that there have been many
people killed in the smaller towns. The
loss of property will run well into the
millions.

TELLS A STRANGE STORY.


A Woman Who Claims to Be the Missing
Vera Ava Arrested Mt Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Sept. IA large woman
with blonde hair was arrested at the
corner of Ninth and Elm streets and
taken to the House of Detention. Her
clothing was torn and disarranged and
she presented the appearance of having
been roughly treated. She says her
name is Vera Ava, but she cannot ac-
count for her being in Cincinnati. She
tells a remarkable story of being in Chi
cago, and with a Mrs. Bolton drove in q
carriage to the house of Father Kelly, a
Catholic priest in that city. She went
to the priests house alone with a satchel
containing several thousand dollars.
While talking to the priest some persons
threw a shawl over her head and robbed
her of the bag of valuables she had in
her hand. They then put her in a car
rage and drove rapidly away. The wo-
man is under the impression that she
was brought here in the carriage from
Chicago. Before being arrested she
made application for a room at one Of
the leading hotels here, but was refused
on account of her shabby appearance.
The woman is held on suspicion.

A Plan Agreed Upon.

ST. PAUL, Sept. ia meeting of the,
Minnesota State Worlds Fair commits
sion was held at the governors office in.
the capitol building. President D. A.
Montfort presided, and all the members
were present except M. B. Harrison Of
Duluth and Secretary Reeve, who is at
present on a trip through the North
west. There existed a unanimity Of
opinion that it would be impossible for
the state to make an exhibit worthy OF
its greatness without at least 800, 600 in
addition to the $50, 900 appropriated BY
the legislature. This being agreed up-
on, the first problem that faced the COM
mission was the ways and means Of
raising the desired amount. The greater
part of the session was consumed in
discussing this question. All idea Of
attempting to have an extra session Of
the legislature called for the purpose Of
appropriating the necessary money; was
abandoned. 1t was decided to issue an
appeal to the people Of the state, through
the public press, asking them to volun-
tarily contribute the amount, on. the
basis of the assessed valuation Of the
property as returned by the assessors in
1890. 1t was thought that when it came
to be appreciated that the assessment yof
only II of a mill on each 800 would be-
sufficient to furnish all that was asked,
it could be secured by unity of action
Of the amount required the two large
cities of the state would, under this
plan, contribute nearly one-half or $$446,--3!
600, and the balance could easily be
raised by the counties in this year Of
bOunteOnS haryasts. - 8t

A Verdict Returned.

jury in the Park Place disaster has re-
turned its verdict. It is a very peculiar
n and does not specify any person OF
persons who are to blame for the disas.
ter or any definite cause therefor. N
finds that while the timbers and walls Of
the building were of fairly good mater
ial and construction, the iron columns
were not as strong as the specifications
called for. It also finds that the fall of
the building resulted from the breaking
of n or more of these iron columns.
but that the fracture of the columns was
due to some sudden shock applied to
the exterior and not primarily due to
their inherent weakness.
