Only an Amateur,

Americans have proved world
heaters as skaters and swimmers,
but it remained for an amateur to
swim across the Strait of Messina,
between Scylla and Charybdis. He
covered the seven miles in little
over two hours, and demonstrated
that he was in fair condition by
going to the opera after his return.
This lusty swimmer should now
try the Dardanelles at the point
where Leander met his death. Lord
Byron plumed himself on swim
ming this historic strait, but we
fancy that some of our latter-day
athletes would not regard it as a
difficult feat.-S. f. Chronicle.

MONTREAL, Que.-The Montreal

the annexation of the Sand

pendent of the British we can join
with Australia in a winning fight
for the control of the Pacific, but
with Hawaii gone our connection
is broken at the middle and the
fight for a place in the commerce
of the orient is made immeasur-
ably difficult.

Denver was more hopeful. The prospece
OF resumption by number of banks
which had closed their doors yesterday
seemed good, and even when the Stat
bank and the German Nat. closed their
doors more trouble was anticipated, thl>
disaster which has struck the queen city
of the west readily finds IL explana-
t:on In the unsound doctrines recently
uttered by the governor OF Colorado.
Eastern banks could no longer afford
deal with banks situated in such COM
munities aud they at once shut down on
loans TO the Denver banks, with
out ready cash the banks were
compelled to close their doors. When
this panic Is well past and men
review their experiences and count
their losses they will find very
small portion of them due TO national
bank failures Under ordinary
conditions the Denver banks would
doubtless have continued bu't
ness without trouble. But tnen
securities were as unsaleable as whit
overcoats In July. Not that the ov r
coats are not good, or that the securities
are not valuable, but nobody wants them.
Il ae same is true OF stocks.
Exchange dropped today / q below yes
terday, and stood at 4.S3s<. The cause
was the more plentiful appearances Of
grain bills and the lack of demand for
bills to pay for stocks sold for foreign ac-

Assigned for Long Deiay-Matter In
tho Hands Of Mr.. sage's Lawyer.

NEW YORK, July 19-The fact that Rus
sell Sage Is defendant in a suit to recover

riage was revealed by proceedings In
Judge Bookstaver's part OF the court Of
common pleas. The case camc mp on a
motion, which was denied by the court,
that an order extending the defendants
time In which to Ale an answer be vacated.
The complaint In tha case was served
April 20 last; and q partial answer was
filed June 26.
Several conflicting motions have been
made In the court apparently for the pur-
pose Of concealing from the public tho
nature Of the action.
The Piaintin In tho Case
IL Miss Della Keegan of AS West Thirty
ninth street. In her complaint, which was
served April 90 last, she states that she
came to this country from Ireland In 1868.
Her sister was then employed as cook in
Russell Sage's home, and Miss Della went
there to stop temporarily with her while
she was looking for . situation. She
alleges that Mr. Sage, who was at that
time widower, there betrayed her under
promise of marriage. and that he even was
cognizant of q criminal operation that was
aftcrward performed.
1t il alleged in the complaint that he &C
companied her to the house of notorious
female doctrcss on Fifth avenue and
waited outside until the operation was
concluded. No reason Is given why the
plaintiff allowed period of Is years to
slapse before bringing the present action.
Russell Sage said that he would leave
all explanations to his lawyers II. S.
