Arthur at 10:40. announcing the drown
ing of Mr.. Dana and Mr.. Luther.
The news is brief statement of the
fact sent by County Attorney Butler. of
the thousands of friends of the t wo un-
fortunate men in this city.
Mr.. Dana has been chief clerk of the

tions. and was very we'll and favorably
known in this city as business man of
integrity and sterling qualities. Upon
him both Sheriff Bean, during his two
terms. and the present sheriff relied for

MIR. Dana was prominent and active

by the members of that order.
Mr.. Dana was born in Portage, Wis,
and is thirty-six years old, His parents
were s. e. Dana, who died in this city
about year ago. and Mrs. A. G. Dana.
His father was prominently known in
Wisconsin, and for many years was in
charge of the Minnesota Transfer in this
city. Charley Dana. as he was popu-
larly called, came to this city with his
parents in 1872. He graduated at the
high school of this city. In 1878 he
entered the law Office of Gen. John B.

DEMOCRATS ARE sANGUINB
OF Eiecting Some Men in North
Dakota


Dakota.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., July 27.-The
Democratic state central committee or
ganized by electing Burke Corbett. of
Grand Forks, chairman, and j. l.. Holt,
of Fargo. secretary. The committee
will hold meeting at Fargo July 81.
Aside from the unfortunate discussion
of the platform the Democrats profess
great satisfaction with the result of
their convention. They hope to bring
pressure 10 bear to secure the with
drawal of Newton, Populist nominee
for supreme judge, leaving the track
clear for Templeton; also the with
drawal Of Standi sh, PopuliSt candidate
for attorney general. in favor of John
Burke, Democratic nominee. 1t Is said
that n. g. Larimore, Democratic nom-
inee for congress, may be induced to
withdraw in favor of Walter Muir, Pop
ullst on condition that Wallace, the
Populist nominee for governor, will get
off the track in favor of Senator kinter,
nominated by the Democrats yesterday.
If this could be- effected the more
sanguine Democrats say the
combine might elect both Kiln
ter and Muir on an estimate
that the Populist vote had increased
from 5000 TO 5000 over two years ago,
which. of course, the Republicans deny.
The Democrats are specially friendly to
Ueland. Popuist nominee for lieuten-
ant governor, and indorsed by the con-
ventiou last night on the ground that
Ueland, as a member of the last house,
was the head of the Populists III line
for Senator Roach. Missouri slope del
egates say the Endorsement of Ueland
will defeat Worst, the Republican nom
inee. 1t is claimed that the difficulty
in Pembina county which prevented
the Endorsement OF Cameron, the Popu-
list nominee for railroad commissioner,
will be adjusted, Sheehan Withdrawn
from the Democratic ticket and Cam
eron put on. The Endorsement Of
Ueland is especially gratifying 10 Sena-
tor Kinter.

DlTCHEO A TRAIN
ANO POUNDED ENGINEER AND FIRE.
MAN-OESFERATE W0RK.

Strikers are getting more bold and
desperate, as their chances for success
grow less with each passing day. Last
night the freight transfer train of the
Milwaukeeroad left the union depot at
11:30 for its regular trip to Mendoza,
where the switching is done for the
Iowa & Minnesota branch line. This
train has to cross the river over the
Omaha bridge. On the west end of that
bridge is short sidetrack and switch
for the purpose of allowing passenger
trains to clear the right of way across
the bridge. When last nights train
struck the switch the engineer noticed
that it had been turned and his train
rolled onto the sidetrack. The engi-
neer at once succeeded in stopping his
train before he had reached the farther
end of the side track, or there would
have been serious wreck.
No sooner had the train come to
standstill when about a dozen men
jumped on to the engine and COM
menced to pound the engineer
and fireman. The latter, Ed
ward Parren. living at 2ll9 Six
teenth avenue south, Minneapolis,
was badly used up, and was taken to
the cit, hospital by the central station
patrol wagon. His assailants were net
content TO use their fists. but took
clubs and stones TO do up their
victim. A call for assistance was
sent to police headquarters. and
several officers were sent TO the scene
of tine trouble. With their protection
the train was brought back to this side
Of the river. The engineer was not
seriously hurt, succeeding in getting
away in the darkness.

order should determine whether the
senate should have the right to pass
upon this odiouS differential, the strlk-
ing out of which meant the defeat OF
the whole bill. Mr. Manderson then
reviewed the precedents bearing OH the
point of order, citing numerous cases
in the house where the conferees had
been instructed. He also gave prece-
dents in the parliamentary history Of
the senate.
Mr.. Platt Rep., Conn.) followed in
opposition to the point Of order. Mr..
Harris then gave his ruling. After hav-
ing recited the course of the bill in con-
terence, he said that all conferences on
disagreeing vote are intended to be
full and free for the sole purpose of
compromising and adjusting differences.
An instruction from either house i'm
pairs fullneSs and freshness. He held,
however. that he need not decide the
broad question. The motion OF the
senator from Minnesota was to instruct
its conferees to amend an amendment.
THE POWER OF EACH HOUSE
is absolute and complete over the whole
question, whatever the conference may
do. The report must be acted on by
either house before it has force. The
occupant of the chair believes that the
senate cannot directly amend an
amendment that has gone to conference
and that it cannot do SO indirectly. The
point of order of MIR. Gray, he concluded,
was therefore sustained.
Mr.. Washburn appealed from the
decision of the chair, and Mr.. Faulkner
moved to lay the appeal on the table.
The yeas and nays were demanded.
Mr.. Harris, the president pro tem.,
caused a roar of laughter in putting
the question by saying impetuouSly
1.-The yeas have it" before the call of the
roll commenced. He caught himself
up with an explanatory Oh" but the
senate had already caught the point and
embarrassed the punctiious Tennessee
all with its laughter. As the roll call
proceeded the senate became very Sc
riouS, and Mr.. Pasco, in charge of pairs,
hustled about the floor. Tho announce
ment of the vote-yeas 81, nays So
caused sensation, as 1t meant failure
of the motion to lay Mr.. Washburn's
appeal on the table. and prospectively
vote on his motion to recede from the
one-eighth of a cent ditferential. The
vote on the motion to lay on the table
was in detail as follows:

LONDON, July 27.-Carl Siewers, the
Norwegian enthusiast, tonight received
a telegram from the captain of The

saying that all were well on board. The
Ragnvald Jarl had been beset by pack
ice which had delayed her progress
considerably. Put Wellman and his
party were then free of the pack ice
and they should now be we'll on their
way to the North pole. The jackson

termined effort to reach the pole.

CORN is DOOMED
In Kansas Unless Copious Rains
Fall Soon.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 27.-Raliroad
Commissioner John Hall, just in from
the West, says that unless rain falls
within forty-eight hours there will be
no corn in that section. In the central
and western parts of the state the most
favorable weather would not make n
crop. Further east rains would save
it. Mr.. Hall says the hot blast
has affected all kinds of vegetation as
far east as Wamego. in Potta-
wottamie county. Equally discouraging
reports continue to come from the
Northwest as far east as REPUBLIC
county. and on the southern border OF
tue state, 1t Is said. the corn has been
burned out from the western border OF
Cowley county to the Colorado line.
including tue south half of the counties
lying immediately north.
PITTsBURG. Kan. July 27.-The bot
winds and drought are injuring all kinds
of crops. Gardens are being devoureQ
by worms and insects, and everything
tends towards damage and ruin. The
thermometer is ranging every day from
100 to 104. Those best posted claim that
if a rain does not visit this section soon
there will not be more than half crop
of corn. AT Washington, Kan, the hot
wind yesterday increased the damage
to corn 80 per cent. To-day wind from
the southwest, same as yesterday.

The President anu Speaker Hold

w WASHINGTON, July 81. - Speaker
Crisp was again at the White house
today, and, although there is a strict
reticence on the part of those who are
informed of the conference, it is ac-
cepted as fact in congressional circles
that the talk was concerning the solu-
ton of the tariff problem. Mr.. Crisp
did not make his visit known to
members of the committee on rules or
to other close associates. and the meet
ing with the president has not as yet
beeR productive of ahyTesults so far as
shaping the course for the honse. The
feeling continues to be very strong
among the members to end the struggle
with such concessions from the senate
soon as can be got. MIR. Crisp as vet
has given no intimation that he shares
this feeling, although it is the general
belief of members that tine conferences
at the White house are with view of
reching results and the passage Of a
bill with little delay.
