Rumor of the Landing of Marines From

Rumor of the Landing of Marines From
the Vanadito.
KEY WEST, Fla, Sept. 30.-Great ex-
citement and indignation has been oc-
casioned here by report that marines
from the Spanish cruiser Conde de Van
adito has been cruising in these waters
for some time looking for filibusterers.
1t is the general opinion that filibuster-
ers have arms and supplies secreted on
the keys north of this city, and the
Spanish cruiser has evidently been try
ing to find them.
Fishermen who came in from the
keys Saturday report that Spanish
marines have been making diligent
search. This is considered an outrage
here and a gross Insult to Florida and
the United States. The state depart
ment at Washington will be asked to
investigate and demand an apology.

MILLERS TO COMBINE.
Movement Begun Some Time
Ago Reaching a Success
full Issue.
The Plan Proposed Will Regu-
late the Output and Fix
the Price.
Flour Market at Present
Flooded by Heavy Over
production.

BUFFALO, Sept. 30.-The efforts being
made by the leadi~g millers of the
country and the chief members of the
National Milers' association to bring
about an arrangement which will pro-
vide set rules regulating the output Of
flour on the market and fixing mini
mum price for -four, appear to be on the
point of reaching successful issue.
The details of the plan have been worked
out and made known to the principal
millers in the country, and the agree
ment of the large millers of winter and
spring wheat to abide by the regula-
tons, or in other words to enter the
combination, is all that is now lacking.
The Scheme an Old One.
To fully understand the movement it
may be said that two months ago at a
meeting of the leaders of the National
Millers' association in Minneapolis, it
was suggested that plan be formulated
whereby the brokers and other outsid-
ers could not toy with the -four market
as they saw fit and force the millers to
dance to their music, but by which the
millers themselves could control the
market to an extent sufficient to protect
themselves, if nothing more. The men
at this meeting were principally
spring wheat millers. The spring
wheat millers produced about two
thirds of the flour of the country.
Their action was rendered doubly neces-
sary by the fact that the markets are at
present flooded by an overproduction Of
about $4,000, 900 barrels of -four. After
two weeks more deliberation
A Plan Was Worked Out
and submitted for Judgment. This plan
proposed to form a combination of mil
lers and fix the minimum. price at which
the output of the mills will be sold. No
miller may go under this price. All
may sell above it. To solve the over
production it was decided to have all
mills reduce their production Is per
cent, which would make difference of
almost 1000, 900 barrels in a year. If
the market should pick up at any time
the per cent of the reduction in produc-
ton would be proportionately reduced.
All mills failing to reduce their pro-
ducts when notified, shall, according to
the agreement, pay to the association or
combine 10 cents for every barrel of -four
in excess of the agreed rate of produc-
ton. The agreement is to hold for q
year and to be renewed thereafter yearly
if satisfactory.

IT'S A BIG FIGHT.
Suits On in California Courts Involving

Suits On in California Courts Involving
S6O,OOO,OOO.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 80. - The
Chronicle says: The most reaching
law suit ever tried in California is on
the calendar Of the United States Cir
cult court of appeals for the present
session. 1t is the struggle of the heavy
creditors of the Union Pacific Railway
company and it's S2 branches to have
the entire business of the great trunk
line thrown into common pool and ad-
ministered on as q trust fund by the
federal courts.
Though the capital stock of the Union
Pacific company is alleged to be more
than $50, 1000, 900, plaintiffs aver that its
Indebtedness is so great and its mis-
management so apparent that its officers
ought to be administered by the federal
courts. 1t is alleged that the govern
ment debts alone are sufficient to cause
the foreclosure of the franchise. The
fact is reiterated with emphasis that
the falling off of the roads revenue is
alarming, reaching as much as 81, ,400,-
900 in two months,

PASTEUR DEAD.
The Eminent Bacteriologist Victim Of
Paralysis.

The Eminent Bacteriologist q Victim Of
Paralysis.
PARIS, Sept. 80.-Professor Louis Pas
teur, the eminent bacteriologist, is
dead, victim of paralysis. For
several months he had been practi-
cally without the use of his legs and the
spread of the disease was so steady that
hope of saving his life was given up
last Monday. The end was absolutely
without pain.
Pasteur was to medical science what
Edison was to electricity, and that he
was not confined to medicine alone was
proved by the great service he rendered
to the industrial arts.
The work which perhaps more than
anything else is distinctively associated
with M. Pasteur's life is his exhaustive
researches for the cure of hydrophobia.
The government has decided to hold
a state funeral of Professor Louis Pas
teur. The government desired to inter
the remains of the distinguished savant
in the Pantheon, but it was the family's
wish that he should be buried at the
Pasteur Institute. The obsequies will
be held at the Cathedral of Notre Dame,
probably on next Thursday.
