A CRUEL CANARD.
Millionaire Sibley's Party Is Safe
and Sound in the City of
Montreal.
A Discharged Cook Started the
Report of the Loss of the
Wapiti for Revenge.

SAGINAW, Mich, Aug. 27.-The re-
ported loss of the yacht Wapiti proves
to have been cruel fake. A dispatch
from Owen Sound, this morning, says
the yacht is all right and that III. w.
Sibley and party left by rail for Mon
treal: The cause for the report is mex
plicable. AS the yacht left Mackinaw,
Aug. %. for Georgian bay, and home, no
doubt was entertained as to the truth of
the report.
CoLLINGwooD, Ont, Aug: 27.-Capt.
James Eldredge, of the yacht Wapiti,
says that George w. Shoman. the half
breed cookswhO spread the report that
the yacht had been wrecked. was

charged here for drunkenness. Mr..
Sibley, who is in Montreal, has teIe-

matter in the hands of a lawyer
MONTREAL, Aug. 27.-H. w. Sibley,
the New York capitalist, and party
Mrs. NJ: B. Pond and Miss F. w. Dur
bin. of Rocher, N. Y. are at the Wind
sor hotel in Montreal, and not at the
bottom of Georgian bay, as falsely re-
ported. Mr.. Sibley declares that he
and his party are the victims of cruel
hoax, which he intends to investigate to
the fullest extent. The yacht Wah-
pitt left Mackinaw Aug. 81, and
after an extremely pleasant trip, Mr..
Slbley says, reached Collingwood. Ont,
where she was left in charge of the
crew. The party came on to Montreal
reaching here last night. They were
greatly astonished this morning when
they read in the papers sensational
story of the yacht foundering in gale
yesterday off CollingWood harbor, and
have been busy telegraphing their
friends, assuring them of the party's
safety.
Asked to how such a false story could
have originated, Mr.. Sibley said that he
could only attribute malicious desire on
the part of the yachts cook, George
Sherman, to play cruel hoax on the
party. He also severely censured the
lady telegraph operator at Colfingwood
for allowing the COOKS message.
so palpably false, to pass through
the office. "My yacht" said
Mr.. Sibley, sis lying in front
of the telegraph office in plain sight,
and the operator must have known that
there was no truth in the telegram sent
to Saginaw, which has given rise to the
reports of the loss of the yacht and her
occupants. However, am leaving for
Collingwood this evening, and | pro-
pose to make it hot for both the cook
and the operator"

DEFIED THE FLAMES.
With Fire Raging All Around,
Augusta, Ga, Printers Stick

Account of Disaster "Set Up,"
and the Issue Put to Press
and PPin ted.

AUGUSTA, GA, Aug 27.-The great est
fire in the history of Augusta in recent
years occurred this morning in the
heart of the city. Over quarter of
million dollars went up in flames. The
firemen ran stream of water up the
rear stairwayS of the Chronicle office
and from the gangway fought the flames.
The story of the fire was put in type,
although the heat almost scorched the
men at work. Smythe's store sue
cumbed, as did Thomas & Barton's
great music house, but the Chronicle
force worked to the last moment. 1t was
a race between steam and fire, but steam
won the victory, and when the press
ceased to revolve it had turned out the
entire issue of the Chronicle.
The floors of the composing room then
collapsed and down came immense stone
slabs and thousands of pounds of type,
making deafening sound. The walls
came down. completely burying frame
house in the rear.

The Atcilison Will Follow and
the Association Probably
Will Die.
First Step Taken in New York
and Threatening the Pa
ciffc Mail.
Northwestern Cities VIII Be
Gamers by the New
Idea.
Under the Present Agree
ment They Are DiSerim-
mated Against.

The Great Northern has declared
itself i'll. a move that will carry eonster-
nation to all other railroads that are
parties to the agreement of the Trans
continental association. now in session
in New York city.
Last night President J.J. Hill officially
announced that OIL Jan. l. 1893. the GreaG
Northern railway would withdraw from
the transcontinental agreement,a and no
tlce TO that effect was wired to New
York. This declaration is frought with
great Importance and may mean the de-
mOraliZatiOn and disruption of the asso-
citation. Atpresent all railroads having
transcontinental lines or arrangements
are parties to the agreement and in
cluded in it. though the Southern Pa
cific has the great Pacific Mail
subsidy. By means of the agree
ment the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce law
is practically wiped out. For example,
the rate from ST. Paul to Spokane is the
rate from st. Paul to the coast, plus the
rate from the coast to Spokane. Every
inland city of California and the Pacific
NOrthwestis thus Disseminated against,
and great subsidies have been paid on
the coast to maintain this condition of
affairs.
There is strong probability that all
this will end with the withdrawal of the
Great Northern. By the time the notice
takes effect its Pacific coast line will be
completed, and it will be master of the
situation. General Passenger Agent
Whitney said last night:
The purpose Of this notice Is to
place our company in position, upon
the completion of its line to the Pacific
coast, to adopt policy with respect to
rates which will promote the interests
OF the cities which itreacheS and which,
it appears, have heretofore suffered
from discrimination. The Great North
ern will have the best built and the
most cheaply built line to the coast, and
can handle traffic at a minimum of cost.
The road is operated under capital
stock about half, or less. of that of any
competing transcOntiuental line, and
can pay dividends on receipts that
would be merely fixed rates for any
other line.'
1t is believed the withdrawal of the
Great Northern will force the Northern
Pacific to follow suit, and it may eventu-
ally compass the disruption of the asso-
citation. While it is certain that the an
nouncement carried CONSERVATION to the
meeting in New York, there is no indi-
cation thereof in the telegraphic reports
received

1T WILL TUMBLE.
The Atchison Will Follow Hill's
Lead. and the Otf,arc Gonna Naxt

The Atchison Will Follow Hills
Lead, and the Others Come Next.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-When the news
reached this city of the withdrawal of
the Great Northern railway company
from the TranScOntinental association,
an official of the Atchison road said:
'Inere is no apparent excuse for con-
tInuing the association any longer. 1t
certainly benefits no company except
the Southern Pacific. 1t is the most
useless of all the useless associations
we have anything to do WITH
From this it may be inferred that the
Atchison will not wait long before fol-
lowing the example of the Great North
ern, and giving notice of withdrawal.
1t is not to be expected that the North
ern Pacific will remain long in the or
ganiZation with the Great Northern out.
and certainly the Canadian Pacific will
hasten to put itself on an equality with
its two immediate competitors. Besides
the Canadian Pacific has a quarrel of
its own with the Southern Pacific.
Some time ago these two roads entered
into an agreement whereby the Can
adlan Pacific, for a consideration, was
to keep its hands Off of San Francisco.
Now the Southern Pacific wants to va
Canadian Pacific out of San Francisco,
on the ground that it has no line of its
own to that city. This is not
strictly true, for the Canadian Pacific
controls steamship line, with which it
can make things very lively for its COM
petitors. and it proposes to sail in and
get share of the traffic unless the
agreement is strictly observed.
Whether the Transcontinental asso-
citation goes to pieces at once or remains
In existence two months longer depends
upon the action of the New York meet
ing. 1t can be dissolved by general
consent; otherwise the notice of with
drawal cannot take effect under sixty
days. and in the meantime the as
sociation will remain in opera
ton. A meeting of the passenger de-
partment has been called to be held in
Chicago Sept. 5. and if the association is
still in existence at that time a very
interesting conference may be expect
ed. The 'Atchison Will be prepared
to show that its competitors are paving
as high as SIS per ticket as commissions
on business between San Francisco and
New York. An effort will also be made
to prove that commission of SO is be-
ing paid On the sale of tickets from the
Pacific coast to Chicago, So of which is
paid by the lines west of the Missouri
river and So by the lines between the
Missouri river and Chicago. On busi-
ness to New York this leaves the East
ern trunk lines S5 to pay as their pro-
portion of the Sl5 commission.
In addition to this it will be charged
that exorbitant commissions are paid on
west-bound passenger traffic. The
agreed commissions ON west.bound
trans-continenta business is 50 between
Chicago and the Missouri river and IS
from the river to the coast, and yet it is
a well-known fact that many tinfes
these amounts are paid by roads that
have never formally Withdrawn from
the agreement.

A GRAND OVATION.
Mr.. Lawler Delivers in Magnificent
Form the Campaign Keynote.

Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen:
The principal and almost the only ma
tional issue between the great parties
during the present campaign is the
question of reform in the laws of the
federal government relating to taxation.
The Democratic party plants itself
squarely and honestly upon the position
that the laws relating to taxation have
drifted away from their legitimate pur-
pose, and are today employed to extort
money from the people of the United
States for private interests and for pri-
vate ends. In all the political history
of the world there have been no nobler
fights for liberty than those which
have been waged upon questions
of taxation. In the history of
England. 200 years ago, upon the ques-
tion of "ship-money." the yeomanry of
England went to battle for justice and
for right that ended in taking the head
from one king, the crown from another.
and the Punishment of the Stuart line
from the throne of Great Britain. In
our own history, the thirteen colonies
by the side of the Atlantic drew the
flaming sword of revolution because the
laws of taxation had been violated, and

large measure. the necessary result of
the Mckinley tariff. By that bill the
treasury was deprived of fifty millions
of revenue by repeating the sugar tax;
but in order to compensate the sugar
grower for this loss of 'prOtectiOn" af-
fOrded him, ten millions of dollars an
nualiy, for fifteen years. are to be paid
him out of the treasury as 4 bounty.
The consumer is TO be deluded into the
belief that he is the recipient of great
benefits under the free sugar clause of
this bill, while under another section of
the same bill ten million dollars are to
be taken annually from the pockets of
the taxpayers and given to the sugar
growers.
In addition to this. whatever benefit
might come to the consumer by the
free sugar clause OF the bill is over-bal-
anced many fold by the largely i'll
creased cost of wOolen goods. and of all
other neceSsaries Of life. The repeal of
the sugar tax was simply intended to
reconcile the consumer to the still great
er taxes laid upon him.
The Democratic house of represent
atives Of the present congress has
passed bill removing the increased
duty imposed by the Mckinley bill upon
tin plate. and providing that within a

list. Ii has also passed the free wool
and cheap clothing bill, by which wool is
admitted free of duty, and large re
duction sought TO be effected in the
tariff upon WOODEN goods of all descrjp-
tions. 1t has also removed the tariff
upon binding twine. But for the hostl-
ity of a Republican senate these meas
ures. so Just, so beneficial to the people,
would now be upon our statute books.
The reduction OF tariff taxes to the min
lmum ipon the necesSaries of life is
impor5.nt to all of our people; it would
prove of ineStimable value to the mill
ions who earn their bread by daily toll.
My fellow citizens, to you the ques-
ton is not how much of your earnings
shall he given to the support of the gov
ernment. but how much shall, under
the FORMS of law, be seized by the IA
yored-the protected" classes.
