WORLDS FAIR COMPROMISE.
A Plan by Which II Can Set the Money
without Direct Appropriation.

Without n Direct Approximation.
WASHINGTON. July 30.-Representative Terry
OF Arkansas has introduced compromise
proposition to help the House out OF the
Worlds Fair difficulty. Tho idea is to permit
the Worlds Fair people to coin. free Of all ex-
pense. SO much silver bullion-say ten or If
teen millions-into silver half dollars.
The bill provides that the presentation OF
the silver bullion requisite for that purpose
by the Secretary Of the Treasury is hereby
authorized. the same to be coined into SOU
venir half-dollars OF the Same weight and
fneness and to have the same qualities
in all other respects as the silver half
dollars now authorized by law. and to
be OF such design and stamped and
engraved with such inscription as shall
designate their value as coin Of the United
States. aud also mako them suitable souvo.
Mrs OF the celc hration Of the 40Oth anniversa-
~ Of the discovery Of America by Christopher
Columbus. TIE coin shall be free from all
seignorage ard cost OF mintage to the
Government. and such silver bullion shall
shall be delivered to the Secretary Of
the Treasury. and such souvenir coins made
therefrom shall be turned over to the proper
officials OF the Worlds Columbian Exposition
until the number of silver half dollars 80
coined shall amount to Sl5.OOO.OO0. and said
half dollars shall be full legal tender for all
debts. public and private. as is now provided
The bill will probably meet with the approval
Of Mr.. Holman and other members OF the
House who opposed an outright appropriation
for the Worlds Fair.

pRosphCroRs DIE OF THIRST
Recovery OF the bodies or Three Men who
perished IN the Colorado Desert.

San DIEGO, Cal.July 30.-Details OF the recov-
cry OF tho bodies OF the three prospectors who
recently persisted on tho Colorado Desert. near
tho Mexican line. reached here last evening
from Campo, and the rescue party is expected
here before to- morrow. The bodies OF the elder
Breedlove aud Farnum Fish OF Meadvllle. Pa.
were found more than week ago. but the
body OF the younger Breedove was discovered
10y this party only q short distance from that
OF Fish. The position Of the bodies told the
tale Of a terrible death. They had struck out
on muleback for water. which the animals
scented. They reached within two miles OF 1t
when Fish fell. unable to hold his head up.
His companions made him comfortable with
a blanket. and pushed on. trying to follow the
trail OF the mules. which had broken their
fnstenings In their cravings to reach water.
The younger man evidently fell soon. but his
father. who was a veteran desert prospector.
staggered along for q mile Then he threw
away II can of meat he was carrying quar-
ter of mile further he threw away . portion
Of his clothing; q hundred Yards farther his
hat was found He struggled up q heap Of
sand. fell. rose again. fell. staggered to his
knees. crawled n few feet. fell again. and died
within less than three-quarters Of a mile OF an
abundance Of water. As he pitched forward
his canteen was thrown into small bush. and.
ing for 1t In another desperate effort when
death relieved him.
The men had evidently been dead thirty
days. All the bodies are dried up. The wagon
with its rifles and brandy and dried
provisions will probably rust out where 1t now
is. surrounded by sand. 1t is not worth tho
expense Of bringing 1t in. The rescue party
had a very hard time. although they never ran
out of water or provisions. One member
Jewell. came near perishing. He agreed to
overtake tho others In u few hours. but they
made such quick time that he was lett two days
without water and only the strength Of
his horse saved him from leaving his body on
tho desert Jewell saw many evidences OF the
recent big earthquake. he saw ono fissuro.
fully foot wide. that extended as far as the
eye could see. The hot springs at Jucumba,
once n landmark. have disappeared.

from him say he had a tough time. When he
felt tho worst his Indian com panion cheered
