A MOST REMARKABLE TRAMP.
Man Beating His w Around the Globe
in Seven Months.

Chicago, Nov. J.-August Stuhr the
young Dane who started out from Co
penhagcn in April last on IL reinarkn-
Bile, If foolish task. is now in Chicago.
Stuhr had n wager that he could make
n tour of the world in seven months,
starting out without n cent of money
and returning with $3.50. He is har-
dy and intelligent young man. who
spent two years in England, where he
learned the English language thor
oughly. His physical endurance is III
most unlimited, and this was one of
the facts that induced him to make
the attempt. But hardy as he is. his
strength has been put to some severe
tests, and he is now many hundreds
of miles away from home. with the
Atlantic ocean between him and his
destination, pretty well worn out. He
has seventeen more days In which to
reach Copenhagen. but will have to
sail from New York on the 10th in or
der to reach there in time. Stuhr
reached Chicago Friday, coming In
from Helena on n cattle train. He has
found little encouragement here, lie
says, and last night expressed appre-
hcnsion as to whether he would be
able to reach New York in time to
make the boat. my only hope" said
ne, Is tu ger uuDtlleT t'tliie tFillh uul
of Chicago"
Stuhr has, of course. had some re-
markablo experiences In his long and
singular journey. His hardest time
was in going through Russia. He
slept out of doors and went hungry
many days. He left Copenhagen April
%, and his trip has taken him through
st. Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, Ham
burg, London. Antwerp. Melbourne
tvia Cape of Good Hope), Honolulu,
San Francisco and Helena. His most
remarkable experience was the jour
ney from Moscow to Berlin. This he
made in IL box so small that he had to
sit In n cramped position the entire
journey. which required thirty-six
hours. When released he was so sore
and bruised that he could not walk for
over n day. Stuhr had been put In
the box by n Russian dealer In Mos
cow. to whom the Dane managed to
make known his wants, although he
could not speak the Russian language.
At the end of the journey Stuhr had n
hard time avoiding arrest. but the Ber-
lin railway officials finally let him go.

A BRITISH ULTIMATUM.
They Make Demand on China, Accom-
panied by Threats.

panied by Threats.
Shanghai, Nov. G.-The British of
cials here have sent an ultimatum Ia
the viccroy demanding Il settlemeni
of the Chung King affair within seven
days. The British demands are thai
Taotal Sheng be dismissed and d.
graded. the Chung King is TO be salu'
ed with 81 guns.
If these demands are not compile Il
with within the specified time repr;a
ais upon the part of the British tico,
nre threatened.
The Chung King affair is one of the
remarkable incidents of the war be
tween China and Japan and may have
serious results. On August 4 Tien
Tsin dispatch announced that 13 Jap.
anese soldiers who had been forcibly
removed by the Chinese from the Brit
ish steamship Chung King were re-
turned Immediately upon the viceroy
Lii Hung Chang, being notified. and it
was added that the viceroy appologlz
ed to the British consul. On August
Z, however, n dispatch from Shanghai
announced the Arriyal there of tie
steamship Chung King and the captain
of that vessel gave his version of the
affair. which gave 1t n more serious
aspect. The captain said that while
his ship was mt Tung Ku, on the Gulf
of Pe-Chi-li, Chinese soldiers went on
board of her for the purpose of selling
the Japanese passengers. They foun:l
on board that steamship 60 japanese
mostly women and children, and nj
once began to hunt them down. The
Chinese pursued the Japanese all over
the vessel. bound them hand and foo,
as soon as caught and flung them eyer
on the wharf.
Lii Hung Chang eventually, upon thG
protests of the British consul, com
manded the Japanese to be returned
on board the Chung King and ordered
the Chinese soldiers who had made thr
raid to be severely punished.

Boston, Nov. G.-The storm in Boston
and vicinity was confined TO heavy
rains until about 10 o'clock last night,
when the temperature became lower
and snow began to fall. 1t is still fall
ing quite heavily.
The government weather bureau here
has experienced much difficulty in OBJ

regular blizzard with n wet snow and
sleet prevails generally throughout the
state.
New Haven reports that Il genuine
blizzard Is raging there and this con-

1O:45 o'clock the last of 10 wires of the
Postal Telegraph Co.. between Boston

A report from Springfield states that

The storm was first reported at Falls
Vile In the northwestern part of Con

was more severe there than at any
other place In the state. The storm

WILL GO TO SALT LAKE.
Union Pacific Omces TO be Moved Ava,
From Denver.

Denver Nov. 3.-Receiver 8. n. H.
Clark, General Manager e. Dickinson
and other officials of the Union Pacific
system are now out ON Il tour OF In
Spcction of the road and We're in Salt
Lake City last week where they re
mained for several days looking about
for suitable quarters for offices.
1t is generally understood and ac-
ccptcd US ii fact in railroad circles,
says the Republican. although no Off
cial announcement has yet been made,
that II is the intention OF the Union
Pacific to remove It's headquarters
from Denver 10 Salt Lake, which Is
practically the western terminal Of the
company. In that event the supgryi-
sion over the Kansas Pacific division,
now exercised from Denver, will be
transferred 10 Kansas City, and the
conduct of the line from Denver to
Ogden will be In the hands of the otti-
clals at Salt Lake General .Superin-
tendcnt Deuel. will remove hSs offices
TO Salt Lake City and there will be
nothing left of the Union Pacific i'll
Denver but local superintendent
passenger and freight agent
The reason assigned by the company
for this move is economy. The officers
claim that there is no necessity FOR
keeping up the expensive establish
ment hitherto maintained in Denver
since the separation of the Gulf and
South Park roads from the main sys-
TEN. This reason. however, is regard
ed by many railroad men as some
what diaphanous, They assert that
since the Gulf road was taken away
from the control of the Union Pacific
by order of the United States court,
the Union Pacific people have been
disgruntled, as much at the people of
Denver as at the Gulf road officials,
and it is this feeling that has led mp
TO the contemplated new departure.
There Is no doubt that the loss of the
Gulf road was Il severe blow at the
earning capacity OF the Unlcn Pacific
and that 1t reduced materially the ne
cessity FOR general office employees in
Denver. but railroad men are of
the opinion that this is the least of this
company's reasons for making the pro
posed change. When 1t will 20 into
effect is not yet known. Should MIR.
Deuel. so to Salt Lake under the new
arrangement it will be a promotion
for him since the mountain division be
tween Denver and Ogden is regarded
as the most Important in the system.

cldent insurance with the defendant
association. On August 21, 1891. he
was killed by a train Oh the Chicago
and Northwestern tracks on Rockwell
street at the crossing of Monroe street
and coming to the tracks found the
gates down. Paying no attention To
the warning. Mr.. Miller passed under
the gates and attempted to cross the
tracks. He was struck by the cngin"
and almost instantly killed.
There was no claim advanced by thu
complainant. his widow. that he had
exercised "due care" in attempting TO
make the crossing. The evidence
showed conclusivcly that he had neg
lected to take proper precaution and
could have prevented the accident by
obeying the warning signal.
Judge Loomis, for the Mutual Acct
dent association, argued that the care
lessness of the policyholder was in vio'
lation of the terms OF the contract and
relieved the defendant from all liabll-
ity. The principle laid down by Judge
Duncan. for the complainant, however,
in which the court concurred. was that
the highest purpose of accident insur-
ance, held out by solicitors rs an in
ducement for taking out policies, WAS
to secure idemnity against those acct

that the association was liable only
where "due care" was exercised, II was
urged, would require the policyhulhcr
to guarantee himself against acciden,

association would be no more liable
than the railroad company, which
needed only to prove that 1t was not
guilty of reckless or wanton conduct,
in order to prevent the recovery OF
damages.
