number of big shingle mills, including
o5 e owned by Graham & Patten. To-day,
a courier arrived IN the city from McMur-
ray to notify Graham & Patten that theirs,
as we'll as the other mills, would surely be
destroyed, unless extra steps were at once
taken to protect them. He said that, ow-
ing to breakdown on the road, he was
compelled to walk four miles through
burning forests to catch the Great North
ern train for Seattle. Several times he had
narrow escapes. and once found himself
completely surrounded by flames.
He had provided himself with water
soaked blanket, which he had wrapped
around himself, and this saved his life. A
big force of men has been sent to McMur-
ray to protect the mills.
At Wickersham, on the Lake Shore road,
the operator and station-master fought the
flames all night long, night before last, to
save the station. They were about ex-
hausted when some trainhands put in an
appearance and assisted them. At Mont
burn, on the Lake Shore, several carloads
of shingles were burned, and on Wednes-
day night two carloads of cedar logs at
Fremont caught fire from the forest flames
and were partially destroyed.
ALI around Lake Washington and on
the. lower sound, among the islands, the
fires which have been raging seem to have
increased. Tonight it is given out at the
Lake Shore Office that fires. are raging all
along the line.

TURNING OVER PROPERTY,
South Dakota'S Defau.ting
Treasurer Pays Part of the
Deficit.
Bondsmen VIII Put Up the Remain
der, and Then MIR. Taylor Is to
Be Prosecuted.

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 9.-The Taylor
.defalcation matter is about to be cleared
up and the defaulting Treasurer will be
tried on Tuesday next. His bondsmen
and himself, through their attorney,
Charles Mccoy of Aberdeen, this morning
turned over to the State Treasurer, K. Y.
Phillips, through Attorney-General Craw-
ford, 100000 in checks and drafts. as
agreed that they should when Taylor sur
rendered himself in June, and list OF
properties in which the defaulter held
equities or owned prior to his retreat to
South America.
= The value of the properties will be as
sessed by the State Board and the amount
agreed by them and the 100000 will be
credited to his deficit. The bondsmen will
make up the balance as soon as the amount
is made known to them. As the time ap-
proaches for the trial of the defaulting
Treasurer mich speculation is going on as
TO which statute he will be tried under
whether it will be the one which provides
the two-year, the fve-year or the twenty
one-year punishment-but whichever it
may be, the opinion of the attorneys of the
State is that it will not be the last named,
which is faulty.

SUCH A REPORT MADE.
Master in Chancery Cornish
Sets Forth Interesting
Figures.
EARNINGS JUSTIFY PAYMENT.
Upon This Statement the Court May
Order Interest and Principal
LiquIdated.

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 9.-Judge W. D.
Cornish, master -in-chancery in the Union
Pacific foreclosure cases, to-day completed
his report on the petition of the American
Loan and Trust Company, as trustee, ask
ing for the payment of defaulting principal
and interest on the equipment trust bonds
of the Union Pacific Company. The report
finds that there is money on hand, upon
which these bonds have a claim, and
recommends an order allowing payment
of past due principal and interest.
These bonds were issued in October,
1887, in payment of lot of new equipment
bought at that time, and amounted to
So, ,541 600, due in installments of about
one-eighth each year, the last being due in
1869. The equipment in this mortgage
trust consists of 9S passenger, baggage
and mail cars, 3705 freightcars of various
classes; including refrigerator, fruit, furni-
ture, stock and coal cars, and 155 engines.
q There is $7S9,000 of principal past due, and
the trustee ask that the court order it
paid, together with the back interest.
The report of Judge Cornish says:
''If a separate account should be stated
OF the value of the use of said equipment.

of allowances for rental between divisions
of said railroad. and upon the actual use
of said equipment, such an account would
have rental value for said property
greatly in excess of the annual principal
and interest charges as fixed by said trust
indenture."
This means that the equipment more
than earns its interest and principal due
Inasmuch as separate foreclosure suits
have been instituted against the Union di-
vision, being the main line from Council
Bluffs to Ogden, the Kansas Pacific and
Cheyenne division, it is necessary to ap-
portion the charge and burden of these
payments among these three receivershps.
In order to get the proper relative proper
tIons the master has gone back and taken
figures for the last fourteen years, and, as
q result of his Investigations reports that
the three divisions have received the pene-
fit OF this equipment in the following pro-
portion: Union division, 20 per cent; Kan
sas Pacific division, % per cent: Cheyenne
division, 5 per cent; and that these pay
ments should be charged to them IN that
proportion. The master also finds that the
said three divisions have produced more
than enough to justify this payment, and
recommends an order authorizing the re-
ceivers to make the payments, with all in
terest due.

HYPNOT|zED HIS DAUGHTER
mTrilby" Performed in a Most
Realistic Manner by
Amateurs.
Musical Jew With Too Much
Success.
RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y, Aug. o.

RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y, Aug. o.
The extraordinary case of a daughter be-
ing hypnotized by her own father devel-
oped here last evening in the "Trilby"
tableaux given by some of the leading
guests at the Richfeld Hotel. The pro-
ceeds OF the performance were to go to St.
Joseph's Catholic Church, and the sum-
mer theater where the entertainment took
place was crowded early in the evening.
| The patronesses included the Baroness de
Barrios, Baroness von Westernhagen and
Mrs. T. c. T. Grain, wife of the ex-Cham-
berlain of New York City. Music, recita-
tions and poses by Nine. Ricci of London
and the Misses Braem of New York and
Mather of Albany preceded the "Trilby"
performance, in which the role of Svengali
was assumed by Vice-President Frederick
s. Howard of the Fourteenth-street Bank,
New York City, while the Trilby was his
only daughter, Miss Jennie Louise.
1t had been intended that r. L. Craw-
ford should pose as Svengali, but or ac-
count of his refusal to rehearse it was
found necessary this morning at the dress
rehearsal to substitute DR.. Howard. He
is man of strong intellectual force and
threw his whole mind into the part. After
the dress rehearsal Miss Howard seemed
quite exhausted, and it was noticed that
the pupils of her eyes were set and her
features singularly contracted, but it was
supposed that rest would restore her.
The performance last night was great
success, Miss Howard's Interpretation of
Trilby's peculiar obsession by the musical
Jew being generally commented on. When
it was found that Triiby continued after
the curtain fell in the same distraught con-
ditlon in which she had been since the
dress rehearsal, however. she was carried
to her apartments in the Darlington, and
her family, now much alarmed, called in
DIR. Grain, who succeeded finally in de-
hypnotizing her.
1t was then recalled that DIR. Howard,
who practiced medicine some years ago,
was all that time able to an@sthetize
patients simply by an effort of the will,
although until then he was ignorant of his
remarkable hypnotic powers.

SENECA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. 9.-The
heirs of Cornelius King, who died in Cali

The entire estate is in cash and securi-

James and Daniel King. who also live

Mrs. King said yesterday that the only

officially notified of the proposed contest,
and that in all probabilities the claim is
fraudulent one.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Rev. A.
B. Leonard, D. D., corresponding secre-
tary of the Methodist Episcopal Church
Missionary Society, said this afternoon
regarding the recent Chinese outrages:
"The cablegrams which l received
during the last few days fully confirm the
published reports of the mob violence in
China. From them 1 Judge that the
Americans there think our Government is
lax in demanding protection for our
citizens in China from that nation.
81 notice that the English citizens in
Hongkong held an indignation meeting
at which severe things were said concern
ing England's apparent unconcern. 1t
seems to me that England and America
must do something more than simply de-
mand indemnity for property destroyed.
missions were established there. People
have been killed, property has been de-
stroyed time and time again, yet China
has gotten off by paying indemnities and
without giving guarantee for the security
of life."
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 9.--The chairman
of the indignation meeting held in Shang-
hal to protest against outrages upon for
eigners and to demand protection, has
sent to the Times the following statement,
which will be printed tomorrow:
eve strongly urge upon the British
people and the House of Commons that
Lord Salisbury's demands upon the Chi
nese Government are utterly inadequate.
"The Chinese authorities have always
promised to protect missionaries and to
punish the guilty, but they never perform
their promises. We believe that the out
RACES are generally inspired by officials.
1t is imperative that the Consul at Foo
Chow shall have British escort to accom-
pany him to Cheng Tu. The Commission
of inquiry must be reformed. Boil. cases
require that more than one British official
of adequate rank shall be appointed. De-

charges against the Viceroy, Chico Taoti,

after everything was quite destroyed did
the Viceroy make an effort to restore or
der in the meantime having sent out tele-
grams that a mutilated child had been
found at the foreign place, with result
that nearly all the natives believed the
story.
Mr.. Lanir scores the Viceroy severely
and demands the punishment of hostile
officials. He incloses copies of the infam-
matory placards that were posted every

kidnapping children and using oil from
their bodies.
A letter from DR.. Harry L. Cartwright

IDENTITY OF A LOST SHIP,
The British FOur-MaSter Holt
hill Probably the One
Sunk.
Many Reasons for Believing That
She Was the Vessel to Collide
With the Prince Oscar.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 9.-It is be-
lieved that the vessel with which the
British ship Prince Oscar was sunk in a
collision off the coast of Brazil is the
British ship Holthill. The survivors of
the Prince Oscar, who were taken from
their boats by the steamer Capac and
landed at Philadelphia yesterday, were un-
able to furnish the identity of the craft
with which they collided, as it sank i'm
mediately. They said, however, that she
was four-master with all sails set and
sailing with the wind, which was south
east. This pretty well precludes that it
was any Of the American four-masters, of
which there are five. Two, the Dirigo and
the Kenilworth, are now at this port.
The other three, the Roanoke, the
Susquehanna and Mary Flynn, are bound
from here for San Francisco and would not
have been sailing the course of the ILL
fated ship.
The Holthili sailed from San Francisco
for Queenstown April %, probably carrying
only grain. On July 8, four days before
the collision, she was spoken about 442
miles south of the scene of the disaster
With fair wind she would have been on
the 18th in about the position indicated.
The facts and figures above are considered
conclusive by men in shipping circles that
the HolthilI was the unknown vessel with
which the Prince Oscar collided and sunk
with all on board.
The Holthill is four-masted steel ship
of 1869 tons register, and was built in
Glasgow in 1890. She is owned by William
