CANADA NOT RETALlATiNG.

Foster and the British Charge dAflalrcs
Talk Over Canal Discrimination.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Secretary OF
State Foster had conference with MIR.
Herbert, British charge datfaires, over
the question of tolls on the Canadian
canals in connection with the reta!ia-
ton act passed by congress. The con-
ference was quite extended, but what
results, if any, were reached, are care
fully guarded. 1t is said that Mr. Her.
bert intimated that the discriminating
tolls charged against American vessels
for using the Canadian canals, while
within the letter of the treaty between
the two countries respecting the navi-
cation of the canals and the St Law
renee, was proba bly, not in accordance
with the spirit of the document. He
disclaimed any knowledge OF an inten-
ton on the part of the dominion govern
ment or that of the mother country to
enter upon or authorize series of re-
prisals against the United States in case
President Harrison acts under the terms
of the new law. He probably recog-

of such course, as it would Mt once
lead to the entire suspension of great
part-if not the greater part-of the
traffic of the Canadian transcontincntal
line 1t was said at the state depart
ment that the officials did not know
that Sir John Thompson, of Canada, Is
on his way to Washington to secure n
pledge from the president that he will
not issue his proclamation until the OPP
portunity has been given the Canadian
government to hear from England and
decide on a line of immediate action.
While President Harrison does not usu-
ally act precipitately in such matters,
it is believed that whatever delay there
may be in issuing proclamation will
be due to a consideration of interests on
this side of the border

NO ORDINARY FANATICS.

The Rowling Dervishes Said to Bo Rip
Snortcrs il Their Line.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-The thirty howl
ing dervishes, who arrived at this port
on last Friday, were landed at Ellis ISL
and yesterday, and later taken in n
large express wagon to an uptown
hotel These are no ordinary fanatics,
but dervishes of the most bowling kind.
Each one is said To be high priest of
his order They were gathered from
different parts of Egypt and the Sou
toum, and profess to have known the
late Gen. Gordon while he was besieged
ut that place. Their costumes consist
of flowing robes aod turbans of many
colors. During their progress up Broad
way they attracted considerable atten-
tion. One of them held spear and
another stroled the fur of n large tiger
cat. All looked wild and picturesque.
Although these dcrvishes while ut home
devote most of their time to prayer and
believe in Allah as the only God, and in
Mohammed us his prophet, their mis-
sion to this land is not to make con-
verts out to take in American dollars
by giving exhibitions through the
country Incidentally they will exhib-
it themselves ut the world fair. Among
the things they do with the special per-
mission of Allah and his prophet are
dancing barefooted on sharp swords and
cut glass, swallowing live snakes, eating
pounded glass and burning Goals and
cutting off each others heads There
are three sects of them-the Sadly or
dancers, the Melawy or howlers and
general magicians, and the Kadry or
fire-eaters. They do not neglect their
prayers while here, but devote several
hours each day TO that duty. During
prayers they face the north, pray alone
and in the absence of ''unbelieving
dogs" howl to their hearts content
Alabar Hassan is their sheik or chief
and Effendi Mulluk, until recently a
merchant of Damascus but now living
in this city, is their financial hacker.

Ncw Monetary systcm.

VIENNA, Aug. 3-The Nieu Free
Press publishes the details of a scheme
elaborated by Prof. Sielber to harmon
lie the monetary systems of the world.
The professor recommends that the
coming international monetary con-
ference agree that no gold coin
containing less than 9sO65 grains Of
fine gold be allowed to be coined or cir
culated in the contracting countries;
that silver be coined in the proportion
Of twenty value units of silver to one o
gold: that silver be legal tender up to
SEQ and that silver coins not of the fixed
standard Of purity be withdrawn from
circulation. Prof. Sieber agrees that
everything depends upon the attitude
of Great Britain.

FARMER FOUND.

The Harper County Abducting Case -storS
Of Bond Voting la New Kansas Counties
Anything to Get the Bonds In the
Hands of .lnnocent Purchasers"
ANTHONY. Kan, Aug. 3.-Farmer, the
abducted county commissioner, has
turned up A correspondent obtained
an interview with him Mt o'clock yes
terday afternoon and gained the follow
ing particulars:
About o'clock in the morning he
was called to the door of his home.
Opening it, he was confronted by five
masked men, one of whom pointed
pistol ut his head and said: I'VE want
you. Come along" He made u show
of resistance but was grabbed from
both sides, bound and blindfolded and
lifted into waiting carriage. One
man got in with him and the other four
got into another carriage and both
teams were started off on the jump.
Farmer asked them to return for his
clothes, as he did not want to be taken
in that shape. They granted his request
The teams then went on n jump Tor
over half an hour when they were
stopped and Farmer lifted from the car
rage. He was placed in what seemed
to be a storm cave, bread and water
placed beside him and the door barred
from the outside. At noon Il good dim
ner was showed through Il window to
him.
Some time that night his abductors
returned, blindfoldcd him and placed
him in carriage. He was driven to
the neighborhood of his home, lifted to
the ground, his abductors, driving
rapidly OFF.
This is his version of what occurred.
He said he was not scared very much,
nor did he try very hard to get out OF
his prison. as he thought no violence
was intended and that it was done to
keep the commissioners from making
the levy; that his abductors, after fail
ing to secure Commissioner Terrlll,
and finding their work all in vain, re-
turned him to his home He said il 1t
was done for that purpose it was Il good
thing and ought to succeed, as the levy
ought not to be made.
The detective employed BY the clll-
zens claims to have obtained proof that
the kidnapers of Farmer are four prom
inent county officials, assisted by an
alliance leader living southwest OF
town. Also that Farmer knew OF the
intended abduction and went willingly,
and was taken to the home of said alli-
ance leader, that their object was
political move in one respect;
thinking that under the maada-
mus of the supreme court the levy
would have to be made on Monday
the alliance leaders got their commits
sioner out of the way so as to compel
the two republican members to make
the levy Discovering on Monday that
the board had nine days in which to
make the levy, they turned Farmer
loose.
This much the detective claims t.
have proof of, and h is yet at work OBJ
tanning further evidence before any
definite steps are taken in the matter
Farmer handed in his resignation, but
the board refused to accept it under
the present situation.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN or The WIS
C0NSlN WEATHER SERVICE.

Cold, heavy rains have prevailed.
with the rainfall about double the
normal amount, and the temperature
averaging seven degrees below the
daily normal. OF course this means
a continuation of the unfavorable con-
ditions which have so long prevailed
in regard to corn and potatoes. Our
correspondents variously estimate the
two crops as being from one-half to
three.fourths planted. With heavy
rain last night over the whole state
and prospect of showers to-day, the
date of getting in the remainder of
these two crops is uncertain. A little
of the early planted corn is coming up
while fears are entertained that many
fields have rotted.
Wheat and rye are making a heavy
growth with no rust reported. Grass
is heavy; hay will be big crop. The
ground is in poor condition for tobacco
plarts. All fruits promise well.
The average rainfall for the first
week in June is about one inch. The
following total rainfalls are reported
from selected stations: Prairie du
