WlNTRY ON THE LAKES.

fessels suffcr from Ice aud a Severe
Wind Storm.
DULUTH, Nov. 20.-Navigation is be-
ing brought to sudden stop by the
cold snap. The upper bay is frozen
solidly and it is almost impossible to
get to the Mesaba ore docks, while the
channels to West Superior are very
hard to keep open, Hgs keeping at
work steadily. The lower harbor is
still free of ice, however, and vessels
are arriving and departing at rapid
rate. Great difficulty is experienced at
the ore docks to unload from cars and
load into vessels, several locomotives
being employed at each dock simply in
generating steam for thawing the ore.
Vessels arriving are covered thick
with ice and have evidently met with
fearful gale. Vessel masters report
that the storm extended up the whole
lake and that the cold was intense and
the driving snow so thick that it was
utterly impossible to see a vessels
length. Several large craft are badly
delayed, and there are fears that they
have met disaster.

That Country Follows Germany's Example
Regarding Our Cattle and Beef.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 20.-The minister
of the interior, M. Hoerring, has issued
a decree, to take effect Immediately,
forbidding the import Of live cattle and
fresh meat from the United States.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Count Rev
entlow, the Danish minister, first heard
Of the action of Denmark in excluding
American beef and meats through tho
Associated Press cable fl IN Copen-
hagen. The count express d surprise,
as no action in that line hadF been con-
templated. He said tho action was
probably due to u request from Ger
many, as beef received at Danish ports
frequently finds its way into Germany
and thus overcomes tho German re-
striction. Count Revontlow says Den
mark uses very little American beef or
meat product.

Offer of the United States to Act rs Me.
djator Not Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The China
Japan incident, so far as the United
States offer of mediation is concerned,
is considered closed for the present, by
those in position to understand the
situation. At the state department and
at the Chinese and Japanese legations,
there is only negative information to
the effect that no positive answer to
the American suggestion Of mediation
has been received While it is believed
to be literally true, SO far as Japan's
answering by positive acceptance or
declination Of the suggestion, yet those
we'll informed on the subject say Japan
has made her position clear to this gov
eminent, in such way to avoid the EN-.
barrassment of a positive declination,
and yet to show that an acceptance
would have to be based on certain def.
mite conditions. 1t is said that Japan
could state this position with such ex.
pressions of good will for the kindly
motives of the United States and such
hopes that the time might come in the
future when the good offices Of this
country would be most acceptable, but
would rather increase the good feeling
between Japan and this country.

the Third Round. ~!
CoNEY ISLAND, Nov. 20.-The fact
that Jack McAuliffe was to appear, this
time after a careful preparation,
against representative Of the Quaker
City, attracted a crowd of $500 people
to the, Atlantic Athletic clubs arena
here. Inspector McKelvey and Cap
tain Clayton, with 40 Of the Brooklyn
police, were on hand at 8 o'clock to
prevent a recurrence of 'knockouts."
The first bout was between Jerry
Barnett of New York and Billy, Muir
ply OF Australia. 1t was declared a
draw. The next bout was between
Paddy Mcbride and Johnny German Of
Long Island City. In the fifth round
the pace proved too hot for the Quaker
lad and, after they had fought l min.
and 45 Secs, the bout was stopped on
account Of police interference. The
referee gave his decision in favor Of
German.
There was a long delay before the
contest Of the evening was called and
both men looked fit to fight for their
lives when they entered the ring.
Zeigler seemed to be getting little the
best of the fight, when, in the third
round, the police interfered and the
contest was declared draw.

Western Passenger ASSoia-
ton Practically Wiped
Out of Existence.
ALTON AND ROCK ISLAND OUT.
Meeting Called for Monday to
Discuss a Plan Of Re-
organization.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The Western
Passenger association, as it has existed
up.to the present time, was practically
wiped out Of existence Monday when
the Rock Island, Alton and the Mis-
souri, Pacific gave notice Of withdrawal
from the association. The passenger
association has for some time been in
very bad way and there has been much
dissatisfaction on the part of the mem
bers with the agreement under which
they were held together. The collapse
has been looked for as likely to occur at
almost any time, and the present diff
Guilty will, without doubt, result in the
reorganization of the association on
new lines and with some of the feat
ures which have proved Objectionable
eliminated.
Reasons For Withdrawal.
The reason given by the Rock Island
for it's withdrawal is that under the
association agreement it has found it.
self unable to meet the competition Of
strong outside lines, which, being out
of the association, were SO enabled to
manipulate their rates as to take much
business away from the Rock Island.
The seasons given by the Alton and the
Missouri Pacific are similar. The lines
which still remain in the association,
realizing that it is useless for them to
carry on the association with so many
powerful lines on the outside, have
asked Chairman Caldwell to call
meeting Of all the association lines for
next Monday, and ut this meeting
methods will be considered for the re-
organization of the association.
