for believing that her deisy was &C

day, they travelling westward over
the ocean track that would be fol-
lowed by the belated steamship,
and reporting that nothing was
seen of her, Neither was there any
sign of vessel that might have re
quired the Ems services.
The theory that she has broken
down or been disabled by coming
in contact with the heavy ice which
has been blockading TRANSATLANTIC
lines for weeks, is well founded.
That she was not seen by incoming
steamers after she became disabled
is explained by the fact that after
breaking down or becoming unman
ageable, she drifted to the north

tune to collide with a gigantic ice
berg she may never be heard of,
It is quite unlikely, however,
that ale has struck an iceberg. All
of the bergs thus far reported have
been surrounded by field ice, some
times extending two miles IN every
direction around the berg. Even
in the case of heavy fog, if The
steamship was approaching an ice

Land frauds at Cincinnati Cause Prop
erty Owners TO Investigate.
C1SeINNArI, Oct. 25. Every man in
this city who owns property of any
value is having the title of his possess
sions looked up. For years land frauds
have been common here. Attorneys for
building associations worked off bogus
mortgages and only recently an elee-
mosynary institution was robbed of
$65, 000 on fesieieus lots and others alb
normally increased in value. Not many
days ago an attorney interested in a GER
tain piece of property made the start
ling discovery that fully so per cent of
the realty in this county Is held under
clouded titles.
The start of this trouble is not due to
criminality, but to neglect or incompe-
teney on the part of the officials. 1t is
found that many mortgages thought to
be first are third mortgages, and, in
scores of instances, not a trace of the
alleged property can be found. This
particularly affects building association
mortgages. 1t will require years to un-
tangle the mixed up records and the cost
will be enormous.

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
The Remains of Miss Mary Jonas Found
Swinging From Beam.

VIRoAoUAY, Wis, Oct. 25.-Miss Mary
Jonas, 45 years old, was found hanging
at her home, eight miles south of here,
Tuesday. She lived alone in an out
of-the- way place and had but few call
ers. She was last seen alive by q neigh
Dor last Sunday. The neighbors be-
came suspicious because her cows had
not been milked and a few of the wo-
men called at the house last night.
They found the door unlocked and
upon entering found the bed had the ap-
pearance of having been slept in, but
was then empty. They then went up
stairs, half-story in an old log house,
and found Miss Jonas hanging to the
beam dead. A chair was overturned at
her feet and it looked as if she had tied
the rope around her neck and then
kicked the chair out of the way.
Three hundred dollars in cash, a
watch and some other valuables known
to have been In the house at the time
were nowhere to be found. An unfin-
ished letter was found to her mother
dated the 10th instant, and she ap-
peared at that time to be in excellent
spirits.
The autopsy revealed healthy condi-
ton of all vital organs. The neighbors
suspect foul play.

AFTER THE OUTLAWS.
Secretary Smith Requests Sol

GENERAL soHoFIELD NOTIFIED.

Before Taking Action He Asks That
the Legality of such a Move Be
Looked Into-The Secretary of the
Interior May Also Offer a Reward
For the Cook Gang,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has requested the secretary
of war to send troops to the Indian Ter
ritory to suppress the lawless bands
which have been operating there and
in the adjacent country. Accompanying
the request was the communication that
Secretary Holle Smith received from the
Indian Territory detailing the deplor-
able condition of affairs there.
These communications were sent to
Acting Secretary Doe at the war de-
partment, and after reading he referred
them to General Schofeld, commanding
the army. General Schofield looked
into the matter and then returned the
papers to the acting secretary with the
suggestion that the request for aid of
troops be maturely considered with
view of ascertaining the legality of the
position. This Endorsement from so
high an authority upon the complex re-
lations between the military and civil
branches of the government undoubt-
edly will cause the war department to
move with caution in acting on the re-
quest for troops and may result in re-
fusal.
1t is also rumored that Secretary
Smith is considering proposition to
offer government reward of $1,000
each for the members of the Cook gang

Steamer Tacoma Brings More Particu-
lars of the War.
VICTORIA, B. o., Oct. 25.-The North
ern Pacific steamer Tacoma arrived on
Tuesday, bringing the following Yoko-
hama advices up to Oct I, the time of
sailing:
The only fresh facts concerning the
sea fight near Tai Kosan harbor, that
can be trusted, are supplied by private
letters from the officers of the feet.
They are not numMcus and none are
especially valuable. They indicate,
however, that the battle was planned
with care and deliberation, and, what
ever prudence may have been shown by
individual commanders, the admiral
acted with good judgment throughout.
He warned Viscount Kaba- Yama,
chief of the staff, who accompanied the
expedition as a spectator and who ex-
pected to participate at some extent in
the proceedings to keep his mail steamer
Saiko out of danger and who also sent
instructions to the Akagi that she should
not expose herself to a greatly superior
force, but both ships accepted heavy
odds and suffered accordingly and at
one stage of the affair they continued
against the large ironclads with 500
meter gauge and were frequently made
targets for torpedoes. The Saiko. with
no armament but small arms and three
rapid firing guns and merchant crew
not used to handling artillery, was in no
condition to measure powress with
pair of 7-ton battleships.
1t is now known that several Euro
peans in addition to Won Henneken,
served on board Chinese ships in the
battle. Two of them, both English,
were killed. Puryius, and the engineer

ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY.
Carbonic Gas Used In Preserving Fruit
In Shipment a Success.

In Shipment a Success.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25--The first carload
of fruit shipped from California under
the new process of preservation by car
bonic gas instead of refrigeration, has
just been disposed of on the market
here. The car was shipped from Sacra-
mento on the 18th, and owing to numer-
GUS accidents en- route did not reach
Chicago until midnight OF the 2lst.
Even then it was subjected to further
delay in the yards and did not reach the
consignee's warehouse until "A hours
later.
The car contained two alright com
partIhents, ont of which, after the fruit
had been loaded, the air was exhausted
and the colnpar tments charged with the
carbonic ach gas. In one of the acct
dents on the road, the car was partially
derailed and one compartment sprung
in such u manner as to permit a leakage
of the gas. The other was not injured.
When the fruit was unloaded, that
from the damaged compartment was
found to be partially spoiled owing to
the admission of air, while the frnit
from the other was in as perfect Gsndi-
ton as the day it was loaded. The
prices it brought were as high as any on
the market. Those interested in the
new experiment are delighted with the
success of this initial trip and assert
confidentially that it settles beyond a
doubt the utility and value of their
planof preservation as compared with
refrigeration.

The American black bear goes to pas
ture, kills the sheep, skins ID and takes it
away. The best backwoods authorities
declare that bear can take the pelt off a
sheep as neatly as butcher can, and as it
is net wool he is out after, but simply
muffin, he does not see any point in bur-
denine himself with a heavy fleece, and so
leaves it for the man whose proprietary
interest in the sheep he Is transferring to
himself-that is, he leaves the pelt for the
man II the man is not so inconsiderate as
to interrupt the bear before he has finish
ed stripping 1t from the sheep If the man
intrudes, lie will lose the pelt as well as the
mutton, for the bear doesn't want to hurt
the man, neither does he intend to sur
render the dinner he came to get; SO he
carries Off the sheep, pelt and all, and
skins 1t when he gets home.-New York
