THE PRESIDENTS MEDDLING
Mr. President. for five long months the waves and
Cartoons editorials. lying correspondents and dema-
gogues had accused the Senate of having been sold
out to the Sugar Trust. Everywhere and anywhere,
by night and by day the question was IN regard to
the sale Of the Senate TO that monopoly. When we
had agreed with our brethren Of the House and the
sugar duty had been disposed of fondy supposed
that the great obstacle 10 agreement had been
moved. and that we should then be fair and embrace
like brethren and stand as one before the American
people Imagine our surprise when we found that
the nsuperabe obstacle was not In the sugar duty
but that II from the duty upon coal and iron
ore. From the 10Th day OF March, when the pending
bill made public 10 the world TO the 7th day of
July when the President wrote his celebrated letter

Mr. Villas left that point and applied himself to
a defence OF the President against the anmadver-

the Presidents allusion to party peridy had had

said that the Finance Committee should not have

atcnces OF that fear without giving the matter a
trial In the Senate. There was the point which he
made.
Mr. Vest remarked that the difficulty all the time
was that the House conferrees. like the Senator
from Wisconsin. imagined that the Senate con-
ferrecs exaggerated the obstacles in the way OF
passing anything that could be reported IN the
senate chamber. Finally. he said. all the Senate
confcrrees agreed to offer to the House conferrees
that they would report disagreement to
each House and let each House vote the disa
greements. He himself had even said to the

Shan Yeng. A battle ensued and after
heavy fighting the Chinese were put
completely to rout, and large number
of prisoners and munitions of war were
captured by the Japanese. Taruhito
Arisugawa is commander-in-chief of
the army of Japan. On the morning
of the 3Oth the Japanese proceeded to
march against A-San. Shan Yeng is
situated between Seoul and A-San,
where the fight between the japanese
and Chinese resulting in the loss of
1000 Japanese is reported to have oc-
Cured.
1t is the opinion of the legation Of
ficials here that the reports from Chi
nese sources containing rumors of the
defeat of the japanese at A-San are
probably gross eXaggerations, though
no dispatches referring to a fight at
the latter place have yet been re-
ceived.
a long telegram was received at the
legation confirming the official account
of the sinking of the British transport
Kow Shung, reiterates the statements
made by the japanese government that
the first attack was made by the
Chinese cruiser Chin Yuen by firing a
torpedo on the japanese cruiser Naniwa

Forty Acres Burned Over in the Lumber
District-SeveraI Lives Lost and Over ST.
100000 Worth of Property Consumed.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The lumber dis
trict of Chicago was last night visited
by one of the most disastrous fires in
its history and the loss will probably
foot up between 81 ,200, 900 and 81 .500,-
600, although it will be twenty-four
hours before the damage can be esti-
mated with accuracy. The following
concerns were entirely cleaned out by
the flames, and everything contained
in their yards has been utterly de-
stroyed: S. Z. Martin Lumber Co. !,
Brown & Richards Lumber Co., Wells
& French Co., car builders; Perley,
Lowe & Co., lumber; Shoemaker &
Higbee Lumber Co., John Spry Lumber
Co., Edward Hines Lumber Co., Con-
way & Co., cedar posts; w. c. P
Palmer, cedar posts; Whitcomb Cedar
Post Co., Liemens & Halsl1e, manu-
facturers of dynamos.
The burned district is about sig
squares from east to west and about
three from north to south. The great
est portion of the district, bounded by
Blue Island avenue, Lincoln street, the
river and Ashland avenue, was burned
over and forty acres of lumber yards
are now nothing but smoking embers.
Several fremen were injured and
two men received injuries which will
prove fatal.

TRoMsoE, Norway, Aug. 3.-News of
the Wellman polar expedition has been
received. It was brought by the sealer
MaIygen, Capt. Petersen, which arrived
at Tromsoe yesterday with news dis
patches from the expedition, and also
with Capt. Bortolfsen and three sailors
of the steamer Ragnvald-Jarl, which
carried the Wellman party, but which
has since been wrecked. Capt. Bot
tolfsen furnishes the following nara
tive of the experiences of the expedi-
ton:
After several battles with winter ice,
the Ragnvald-Jarl arrived ON MAY IL at
Table island, one of the Seven Island
group. The ice, however. compelled a
return to Walden island, where Mr..
Wellman left the ship, on May "a, with
thirteen men forty dogs and ITO days
provisions. After the party had estab-
lished depot they proceeded eastward
a distance of 60 miles, thence north
east, hoping to reach the land that is
believed to exist in that direction.
Up to the day of the departure of the
sledge party the expedition had had
good weather, the worst being only
20 degrees below zero.
On May %, four days after Wellman
and his companions left, the Ragnva1d-
Jarl was broken up by the ice and to-
tally lost. The men in charge of her
managed to save some of the stores. A
message was sent to Wellman, inform
ing him of the catastrophe, and it
reached him at Martens island. Mr..
Wellman, C. S. Dodge and two others
then returned to Walden island. With
material taken from the wreck of the
ship they built good house to accom-.
modate the crew and as a precaution in
case the expedition was compelled to
winter at Walden.
q The latest news received of Mr.. Well.
man was of June II date, when Mr..
Winship, member of the party, with
one man, left the party at spot 6
miles east of Cape Platen, where the
explorers had met with impossible ice
and were waiting for open water. All

An Oklahoma Bank Raided-A Citizen
Killed and One of the Robbers Shot and
Captured.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Aug. 1.-The little
city of Chandler, 40 miles east of here,
was the scene on Monday of one of the
hottest bank robberies in the history
of the territory, the particulars of
which reached here at n late hour last
night. About 10 o'clock five men rode
inio the town dressed as cowboys and
armed to the teeth, and proceeded at
once to the alley in the rear of the Lin
coin County bank.
All of the men dismounted, one held
the horses. one entered the front door
of the bank and two the back door,
while one remained on guard outside.
The first man to enter stepped up to
the teller's window and showing a Win
chester into the face of Harvey Kee,
president of the bank, ordered him Ito
shell out the cash and be quick about
it, too"
The second bandit took care of the
cashier, o. b. Kee, who was at work on
the books, while a third went into a
back room and compelled f. B. Hoyt,
who was lying very sick, to get up and
open the safe. He attempted to COM
ply, but fell exhausted in front of the
safe door, and the robber then snapped
his Winchester in his face, but luckily
it did not go off.
BY this time firing was heard on the
outside and the men seized all the cur
rency on the counters, about $500, and
ran. The first man to give the alarm
was J. B. Mitchell, barber. He saw
the men in the bank and cried out:
1.-The Dalton gang is in town" and
started into his shop but fell dead in
the doorway, pierced through the
heart by bullet from the Winchester
of the bandit on guard outside the
bank.
A moment later the robbers mounted
their horses and rode away. A ball
from citizens rifle brought down one
horse, but the rider mounted behind a
pal, and just out of town, as another
horse was shot, two farmers were
robbed of their horses and the five rode
on In ten minutes Sheriff Parker was
in hot pursuit.
About 10 miles out the bandits made
stand and a battle ensued, in which
several hundred shots were fired, and
one bandit shot through the hips and
captured, the rest of the gang scatter
ing in the timber. The wounded rob-
Der is but 90 years old and gives his
name as Elmer Lucas. He says the
others were Bill and Tom Cook, Jack

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2.-William Wake
ly, Omaha's city clerk and a well
known politician, was the principal in
a spectacular suicide last night. He
accompanied party of ladies to a To-
cal bathing resort, and after seeing the
ladies to the waters edge, climbed into
the ropes marking the danger line and,
facing a large crowd of sightseers,
slowly drew revolver and with smile
on his face blew his brains out and
dropped into the lake. His conduct
had not been unusual up to the mo-
ment when he drew the gun. His af-
fairs are supposed to be in good order,
and his family, one of the most promi-
nent in Omaha, can assign no reason
for the deed

tors that usually witness the arrival of

A Dynamite Explosion

CHICAGO, Aug. by an explosion
OF dynamite at the Hawthorn stone
works of Dolez & Shepard to-day three
workmen were killed, two fatally in
jured and several others wounded.
The explosion was terrific, completely
wrecking the boiler house, engine
rooms and machinery of the plant and
breaking windows for a quarter of a
mile around. The accident occurred
during a test of a new stone crusher.

caused by spark dropping into the
dynamite magazine. The magazine
was 800 feet away.
