bravely during the fatal illness, is now
PROSTATE with grief. All the church bells
are tolling, and thousands of citizens are
expressing deep regret at the premier's
demise. For hours the members of the
household had been watching at the bed
side, waiting to see the life depart. AL.
though the physicians declared
last night that Sir John
could not survive until the
morning, they had not made allowance
for his marvellous vitality. He had lost
consciousness thirty hours ago and had
taken no nourishment since, save small
quantities, of champagne, which were ad-
ministered with difficulty. The premier,
sick unto death, kept up the unequal
struggle until after 10 o'clock tonight.
For days, 1t is assumed, he resisted the
inevitable by sheer force of his powerful
will, but yesterday consciousness disap-
peared never to return. In the ensuing
period nature, now no longer restrained,
asserted itself; life's fire, already burning

a complete collapse set in. In the sue

h College and Academy Students at
Beloit, Wis, Indulge in a Riot.
BELo1T, Wis, June 5.-There is con-
siderable excitement to-day over the fra
cas- of the college and academy students
last night, which resulted in an %incipient
riot. The senior academy class was to
have it's annual banquet, which event for
years has been the occasion for more or
less of a muss. Usually the members of
the banquetting class are kidnapped by
the other classes, or otherwise detained
from participating in the festivities.
Last night some of the College and acad-
envy students made a charge on the ban
quoting class. One student was shot in
the side by another, but his wounds are
not dangerous. Windows we're broken
in the hotel where supper was to be
served. The toast master was taken
from his home to the banquet hall under
guard of police. There are several ban
daged heads at the recitations to-day. 1t
was the toughest event the college boys
ever engaged in here.

No Truth in 1t.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Michael Cudahy,
n of the largest stockholders in the
Omaha, stock yards, now in this city has
no knowledge of the rumored negotia-
lions for the sale of the property to
an English syndicate, as reported in a
Sioux City dispatch. "Nothing of the
kind could take place without my know
ledge" said Cudahy this morning. "This
is especially true when it is remembered
that Elk. Congressman McShane is a
warm personal friend of mine, and ac-
cording to the Sioux City correspondent
it was McShane who negotiated the deal.
No such negotiations are pending and so
far as | know no offer to buy the Omaha
yards has been made"

CHICAGO, June 6.-Banker Charles e,
Cook of Juneau, Wis, is being driven
across country, through rain. Following
him is a deputy United States marshal,
with a federal writ of habeas corpus,
which, if served, will again delay Cooks
removal from Chicago. Cook was ar
rested two months ago on requisition
from Wisconsin, charging him with iIle-
gal banking at Juneau. Before the mes
senger from Wisconsin, could take his
man out of the state, a writ of habeas
corpus, issued by Judge Baker, prevent
Ell further proceeding. Hearing on the
writ was postponed from time to time
and the last argument was not finished
until this morning. Judge Baker then re-
manded Cook to the sheriff 8 custody. In
obedience to the requisition that officer
gave the man to Deputy Sheriff Pratt of
Wisconsin and the party drove away
from the county building. Cooks
friends hurried to the federal court and
there obtained another writ. Only twen-
ty minutes after the banker had been
hurried away from the sheriff's office,
Deputy Marshal Foster came in with
the papers. He took a carriage and the
chase began. The further prosecution
of the Cook case is something of a sur
PRISE, for a week ago dispatches from
Wisconsin announced that criminal pro-
ceedings would be discontinued be-
cause Cook had turned over his property
to the bank creditors.
CHICAGO, June S.-Sherif Gilbert to-
day made a return in the federal court to
awrlt of habeas corpus Used by Judge
Blodgett on Saturday requiring him not
to deliver up to the Wisconsin authori-
ties Banker Charles E. Cook of Juneau,
Wis. Cook was arrested some time ago
on a charge of illegal banking at Juneau,
and on an order of the state courts was
turned over to the Wisconsin officer
Saturday. Twenty minutes later a
habeas corus writ was issued by Judge
Blodgett and a United States marshal
started in pursuit of the Wisconsin
sheriff who started with his prisoner
across the country through the driving
rain storm. He failed to overtake the
flying pair. The return made by the
sheriff of this county to-day recited the
fact that Cook was no longer in his GUS
tody when the writ was served on him.
Cook was safely landed in Wisconsin
and will have to answer to the charge
egainst him at Juneau.

Why Barring Bros. Failed.

New YORK, June Gas soon as the
collapse of the Barring Brothers was an
nounced the New York World sent a
staff correspondent to the Argentine Re-
public to inquire into the investments
which precipitated the failure. The
correspondent made thorough investi-
cations and his report makes a remark
able story, showing how Charles H. San
ford, a Yankee drummer for the sale of
pills and toilet preparations, first Sc
cured membership in the American firm
of S. B. Hale & Co., in Buenos Ayers
and after making 100000 by a single
financial coup went to London and won
the confidence of Lord Revelstoke, head
of the Barring firm, thence returning to
Argentine and investing untold millions
of the Barring gold in doubtful enterpri-
ses and securities. When Sanford went
to London he besieged Lord Revelstoke,
head of the firm of Barring
Bros. Long, varied and piano.
ramic" was the tale the man poured
into Revelstoke's ear. Sanford talked
to Revelstoke about the extraordinary
of Argentine and the unbound
ed prospects of the country. Soon the
head Barring was heard to say Sanford
was the cleverest man he had ever met.
When Sanford departed from London,
carrying with him the confidence and
admiration of Lord Revelstoke, and with
the millions of the Barring bank behind
him to spend and invest, the universe of
chances was revealed to his triumphant
vision. The correspondent then relates
in detail the story of the investment OF
the Barring gold by Sanford. First he
was obliged to subsidize the government
officials to obtain the great water
works contract. This part of the story
is told in these words: The estimated
cost of the entire works on which inter-
est was to be allowed was $36, 500, 1000 in
gold. The price of concession to Barring
Bros, through s. B. Hale & Co
was $21,0O0,0U in gold, payable
to the minister Of finance in three
installments. This was the public price,
but there is another side to the business
and it forms 9 dark chapter in the record
of the Barring Bros. bank. Nothing ia

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June SIT was
brought to light here to-day that w. E.
Minchln, for some years an individual
bookkeeper at the American National
bank of this city, was a defaulter to the
extent of about $4,000. Minchin left the
city in company with his wife May 25th,
stating he would be absent only a couple
of days. His continued absence caused
an investigation of his books with the
above result. The bank will lose moth
ing as he was bonded by a reliable guar
antee company whose agent is on the
ground and will take active steps to
catch and prosecute him. Minchin is
81 years of age, was born and raised here
and stood very high with all who knew
him. His defalcation was a surprise to
the community. It is supposed he had
lost money in speculation.

lQUIQUE, June 4.-The Itata arrived

aboard. She was Immediately surren-
dered to the American admirals, McCann
and Brown. The commander of the Itata
states that the arms we're not embarked
at San Diego; but at a point many miles
at sea: The I~quique government claims
that this circumstance modifes the stu
alton considerably and will probably re-
suit In a speedy solution of the Difficult
ties. The authorities at the same time
declare that the charge of the Itata is of
little Importance, taking into considera-
lion b small number of the arms.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Secratary
Tracy received no word to-day from
Chill respecting the Itata. He says the
next step will be to send the ship back
to the United Safes, to stand trial.
There is no expectation that the officers
and crew of the Itata will jeopardize
their liberty by returning with the vessel
to San Diego, and in fact, as it was re-
ported from Mexico that the commander
OF the lnsurgent war ship Esmeralda acted
as captain of the ltata as far as Acapul-
co, there are good reasons why he at
least should return to the United States.
SO 1t may be necessary for Admiral Nc
Cam to detail some of his W men to
act as a crew. In official circles it is be-
lleved that the ltata is not likely to suffer
heavily as a result of her escapade.
Credence is given to the statement tele-
graphed from Chill that the vessel took
c%ontraband arms and ammunition from
the Robert & Minnie on the high seas,
outside of the jurisdiction of the United
States. If this should be true, her offense
against the neutrality laws is minimized,
and it is very doubtful if a case could
be made out against her in the present
state of uncertain construction of the
law. There is little doubt that she can
be held on other charges, such as con-
tempt Of court, in sailing away while
under an injunction, kidnapping the
marshal and sailing without clearance
papers, but these are minor ~ofenses,
whose punishment is likely to take the
shape of fines and not go to the length
OF forfeiture of the vessel. Attorney
General Miller said to-day that the de-
partment of justice would take no action
in the case of the Itata until that vessel
had been turned over to the law officers
OF the government at San Diego, when
the course usual in such cases would be
followed, that is to say, she would be
llbelled and held subject to the findings
OF the proper legal tribunal.

Why the Itata Was Surrendered,

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The navy de-
partment received official information to-
night of the peaceful surrender of the
Chilian insurgent steamer Itata at
lquique to-day. This information was
contained in a dispatch from Acting Rear
Admiral Mccain, received by Secretary
Tracy several hours after the regular time
for closing the department. The dis
patch came in cipher, and it took about
three hours to translate it, and even then
there we're several instances in which it's
contents had not been fully interpreted.
In effect, the dispatch stated that the
ltata had arrived at Iquique from TOGO
pilla last night and was placed at the
he disposition of Admiral Mccain this
morning. She had on board, the dis
patch says, 5000 rifles and also
the ammunition taken from the
schooner Robert 4 Minnil off
the port of San Diego, Cal. She had no
other munitions of war than those be-
longing to the ship and had transferred
nothing to tue Esmeralda, with whom
she communicated when off Acapulco.
Mexico. After communicating with this
insurgent cruiser, she went to Tocapilla.
Admiral Mccain says the Charleston
arrived to-day and the Pensacola was ex.
pected before tomorrow. The Itata will
be delivered to the United States court
at San Diego, and proceedings against
her for violation of the laws will be- re-
sumed at the point where they we're in
terrupted by the unlawful departure of
he's steamer, and the responsible parties
will, if they appear also be called upon
to answer the additional charge of con-
tempt of court in running away while
under an INDUCTION. Secretary Tracy
gave to an Associated Press reporter to-
night
THE CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES
that has led up to the surrender to the
United States of the Itata to-day. The
secretary said the desire for the surren-
der came from the leader of the insurgent
party at Iquique. Shortly after the YES
sci had finally escaped from the custody
of the marshal at San Diego, the govern
ment was informed by these leaders that
they dlsapproved the action of the Off
SoIo " VIC SOooCl, duu O10I0u through
Admiral Mccain, to peacefully surren-
der her as soon as she arrived in Gillian
waters. These offers we're then commu-
nlicated to the department at Washing.
ton and in due time we're accepted by
this government without, however,
implying any recognition on the part of
the United States of the insurgents as
b~elligerents. A proposition for a peace
full surrender was pending at the time
the Charleston, which was in
pursuit of the Itata, was
at Acapulco, replenishing her
diminished coal supply. AS soon as the
offer was accepted, a telegram authorize
ing to cease the chase was sent to Capt.
Remy of the Charleston, but he had al
ready sailed when the telegram reached
Acapulco. The fact of the acceptance of
the offers to surrender the Itata on her
arrival in Gillian waters was therefore
communicated to Admiral McCann who
was therefore prepared to receive the
ltata On her arrival. Secretary Tracy
said the Itata would be sent up coast to
San Diego to answer the charges against
her in the court.
