RAN DOWN THE TUG PATHFINDER
Fatal Accident the Result of Rivalry Be-
tween Lake Lines.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 1.-For some
months past there has been intense ri
valry between the Inman and Singer
tug lines at this port. Today this ri
valry eliminated in a fatality. The
tug Medinah, of the Singer line, was
running alongside the steamer Joliet as
the latter was passing up the bay, and
was about to take her line when the
Pathfinder of the Inman line cut across
the bows of the steamer and the Medi-
nah without signalling. A collision at
once occurred. The Medinah struck
the Pathfinder, and she rolled over like
a log. Her crew jumped, and all but
Fireman Jacob Wasser were saved, be-
ing picked up by a passing ferry. The
fireman jumped on the side toward
which the tug was rolling and was car
ried under her, the body being subse-
quently recovered.
The Pathfinder turned completely
over, and lies in IA feet of water with
her smokestack just protruding above
water.
Captain Lietzell, of the Medinah, and
Captain Brown, of the Pathfinder, were
arrested and locked up.

EDITOR SYLVESTER WRITES NO MORE
Sterling Newspaper Man of Washington
Passes Into the Next World.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 1.-Major
Richard Sylvester, the oldest and one
of the best known journalists in Wash
ington, died here today.
Major Sylvester had been identified
with the Washington Post, an editorial
writer since it's foundation in 1879, and
up to the year before his death, had
scarcely missed a day from his desk for
any cause. AS political writer he was
looked upon by his contemporaries as
an authority without partisianship or
prejudices. A widow and four children
survive him.
The deceased was born in New Ham
shire in 1880. Before going to Wash
ington he was engaged in newspaper
work in Iowa and st. Louis.

PLANTERS TOLD NOT TO MAKE SUGAR
Serious Complications Rising From the
Revolution in Cuba.

London, Sept. 1.-The Havana cores
pondent of the Times says:
Senior Torralbas, the holder of the inn
portant judicial post in Puerto Principe,
has been dismissed from the public SER
vice for completely in the rebellion.
The insurgents have given notice
throughout the provinces of Santa
Clara and Matanzas forbidding the
planters to make sugar during the COM
ing season, in accordance with the or
ders which have been received from the
revolutionary committee in New York,
the penalty for refusal to stop work
being the destruction of the property
and the burning of the sugar cane.
Unless the rebels are expelled from
these provinces before November, when
the cane is ready for crushing the situa
ton will become serious, as the plant
ers are unable to sustain the loss of the
crop and the lack of harvest will de-
prive thousands of laborers of work,
and they will revolt.
A quantity of arms and ammunition
have been landed at Cardenas from the
steamer Elliott from New York.
\ 1t is reported that the provisional
government has proclaimed a gathering
of insurgent forces at Najasa, in Puerto
Principe.

THE TAMATAve OFFENDER PUNISHED
Captain La Voisot Sent TO Jail and De.
privcd of Promotion.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The navy de-
partment today gave out the follow
ing:
"As a sequel to the Castine-Tama-
tave incident, concerning the landing
of officers and men, information has
just reached Washington that the
French authorities, with very credita-
BILE promptitude, sentenced Captain La
Voisot, because of his conduct in the
affair, to 20 days solitary confinement
in the military jail there. 1t is under
stood furthermore that he returns to
France with the entire loss of his pro-
motion; that is, he remains stationary
on the army list, which makes his pun
ishment to him personally a very seri-
Gus one. If these statements are cor
rect it will be seen that the French
authorities at Tamatave showed just
and proper appreciation of the original
incident"

AMERICANS ARE NEVER WHIPPED
London Times Comments on Balfour and |
His Speech on Bimetallism.

London, Sept. 2.-An editorial in the
Times this morning comments upon the
grave blow which A. ]. Balfour's state
ment struck at the hopes OF the Ger
man and American bimetallists. Mr..
Balfour, it will be remembered, stated
in the house of commons that he did
not believe that an international bi-
metallic conference would result in an
agreement on a ratio. The Times says:
THE American bimetallists are MADE
of sterner stuff than the Germans and
win therefore continue to carry the
country with them. There seems no
chance that each political party VIII
allow itself to fall under the sway OF
the silver men. The recent publicity OF
the aims of the bimetallic party mere
has been a revelation and a warning.
We trust the trade revival now In prog
ress will complete the cure, that we
shall hear less and less about bimetai-
ism from any quarter"

that the word free be inserted before

Each gave his reason. 1t was not that
they were opposed to free coinage-on
