dorf, one of the solid men of the Austrian
Capital. met at his club a handsome
American, who was introduced to him as
Mr.. Armstrong of Chicago. The two
men were attracted to each other, and
soon became confidential. Then Mr..
Armstrong told the banker that he was IN
reality Edward Vanderbilt, a nephew of
William H., and that he was travelling
incognito to avoid attention. He was
charmed, and invited the young Cr9sus
to his home.
The invitation was accepted. Mr..
Vanderbilt went to the bankers house
and at once seemed to fall in love with
Freda, his beautiful daughter. Papa
Endorf rubbed his hands in glee when he
beheld this, which seemed to be recipro-
Gated. But his joy lasted only short
time.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Vanderbilt and
Freda fed from Endorf's home TAX
ing the equivalent of $50, 900 in hard cash.
The girl had yielded to her lovers sollcl-
tation and cast her lot with him, without
going throught the marriage formality.
The police of Vienna told Mr.. Endorf
that Vanderbilt was Ker, a confidence
man. No trace of the swindler was
found in the city, and it is supposed he
did not come to this country at once.

PAssENGER-RArE WAR.

Effort to Raise the Fares East of the
Missouri River.
CHICAGO, March 21.-The Western Pas
senger Association line struggled all day
with the proposition to raise the $40 rate
between Chicago and the Missouri River.
Nothing was done, and the meeting will
be resumed tomorrow, when it is hoped
the Union Pacific will be represented.
Heavy pressure was brought to bear upon
the Atchison to induce il TO consent to an
elevation of rates, but it steadily refused.
1t declared the reduction of rates East
from the Missouri River had nothing to
do with the troubles with the Southern
Pacific, but was made necessary by the ac-
ton of the Union Pacific and certain lines
within the association. The conditions
calling for the reduction still existed. and
therefore the Atchison announced that it
could not consent TO raising the rate. The
Northwestern, which has all along been
charged with cutting rates in connection
with the Union Pacific, was anxious to
have the rates put up both East and West
of the river.

THE FLIGHT OF DA CANA.

Action of the Portuguese in Giving
shelter May Lead to Trouble.
Rio DE JANEIRo, March 2I.-The Por-
tuguese warships were allowed to leave
the harhor under the stipulation imposed
by the Brazilian Government, that Adj
miral Da Cana and the insurgent officers
and men who are with him should re-
main on board the Portuguese ships
when the question of their ultimate des-
tination has been settled between the two
Governments.
The international complications aris-
ing from the revolt and subsequent sur
render of the Brazilian war vessels in
these waters is assuming grave aspect.
There is considerable excitement here in
regard to the action of the Portuguese
naval officers, who have so far protected
Admiral Da Cana and the insurgents
who are with him. 1t is feared the ac-
ton of the Portuguese in giving shelter
to the rebels will lead to dangerous con-
dition of affairs. This is all the more
likely, as it appears President Peixoto
has obtained possession of important
documents which show beyond a doubt
that certain European vessels systemat-
ically gave aid to the insurgents.

SANTANDER SPAIN, March 21.-An-
other fatal accident occurred here this af-
ternnon, caused by an explosion of dy-
Mantle. Ever since the awful disaster
that occurred in this city on the night Of
November Sd last when the Spanish
steamer Cabo Machicaco was blown up
by the explosion of a large consignment
of dynamite on board of her, the wreck
of the hull has been lying at the bottom
of the bay. 1t was discovered by divers
who went down in search of the bodies
of some of those who were killed at the
time that a considerable amount of dyna~
mite was still in the wreck. This was
considered a menace to shipping, and the
authorities determined to have it res
moved.
To-day, while number of workmen
were engaged in the work of taking the
dynamite from the hull an explosion Cc-
Cured and several men were killed.
The loss of life occasioned by the dis
aster last November has never been accu-
rately ascertained. IL is known, how
ever, that the list of dead. missing and
wounded numbered nearly thousand.
The Machicaco was lying alongside
wharf discharging part OF her cargo,
which consisted OF general merchandise.
including iron ore, flour, and petroleum
in cases. While this work was going on
the steamer took fire. and the blaze at
tracted large crowds of people to the
water front. Officers and men went to
the assistance of the fremen, who had
been hastily summoned. Suddenly there
was deatening roar and the steamer dis
appeared.
The slaughter among the spectators
was frighttul. Houses along the water
front were either completely destroyed
by the shock of the explosion or else so
badly damaged as TO be unfit for occupa-
ton. Large quantities of burning oil
was thrown into the city, and at one time
it appeared as though the whole place
would be destroyed. Fortunately, how
ever, change in the wind prevented
this, but terrible damage had been done.
4 hundred small vessels sank in the har-
Dor, and q number of others, including
the Mercha and the steamer Alfonso NIL,
caught fire from the rain of flaming oil
and We're burned. Forty of the crew of
the Alfonso lost their lives. Mangled
and blackened corpses were scattered
along the quay, and the scene was one
that detied description. Among the dead
was Don Manuel De Lapena, the Pro-
vincial Governor, and number of other
officials.
Just as the ship blew up railway train
arrived at the station considerable dis
tance from the scene of the explosion.
This train was completely wrecked, set
on fire, and most of its passengers burned
to death

farms until large farms have been rem
dered profitable.

plan. He thought that this was still an
experiment. In Utah and California
where 1t had been tried. it had been sue
cessful.

and Donald Campbell of Denver ex-
planned the water system of irrigation in
Asia.
Judge J. D. Emery addressed the con-
vention on the duty of the General Gov
ernment in the reclamation of the semi
arid plains. All the economic facts should
be gathered by the Government and the
rest by private capital. An irrigation
supply was needed. There must be a

these two clerks it was their practice to
take them. repunch them to another
point, say Los Angeles, and repunch also
the date from January to April aud sell
