COMPLAIN OF BENNINGTON.
American Citizens Say She Endangered
Their Health OFF Honolulu,

Boston, Nov. 10.-A letter has been
sent to the secretary of the navy by
several men, citizens of this country,
who were passengers on the II. M. s.
5. Warrimoo from Vancouver, b. c.,
to Australia. The letter is signed by
p. A. Sanford. Of Philadelphia Arthur
Lewis. Of Iowa. Harry Willard French.
OF Boston, Arthur +. Pate, of Des
Moines, Ia, and others. 1t says that
when the steamship arrived Off Homo
lulu the night of Aug. 30 last Il was
found that cholera was raging on
shore. The ship accordingly anchored
outside.
At this time and until nearly noon
on the following day the United States
cruiser Bennington lay inside close to
the wharf, flying the yellow flag hay-
ing already lost man from cholera the
day before. Several hours before the
Warrimoo could get away, the Ben
n1ngton ran out of the harbor made
circle close about the Warrimoo, and
came to anchor directly to windward of
her and SO close by that the smoke and
doors from her galley We're offensive
to those on the deck Of the passenger
ship.
AS the passengers of the Warrimoo
could see no possible excuse for this
action, which they regarded q menace
to their health, they call upon the navy
department for an explanation. They
say this action was uncalled for. un-
gentlemanly. and insulting, and greatly
to the discredit of the United States
navy, and they beg that the matter he
inquired into and those responsible
dealt with as the case demands.
Geological Survey Party Attacked.
Washington, Nov. 1O.-The interior
department was advised by Hersev
Monroe, OF the United State Geological
survey, now In the field, that he and
his party were attacked and beaten
with clubs and stones by a crowd ~
men on Campbell Creek, near Mon
mouth. w. Va. The people of that re-
gion had previously been duped by peo-
pie representing themselves as govern
rnent representatives. and in revenge
they jumped on a genuine government
party by mistake.

WILL RELEASE WALLER,
France Offers to Set Him Free as IN Act
of Graciousncss to the United States.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Secretary Oh
ney has received an intimatlon of the
Willingness of France to release John
l.. Waller from prison as an act of
graciousness to the United States, but
as an acceptance of this offer might
prevent this government from subse-
quentiy demanding an indemnity for
his imprisonment, a condition to which
waller, 1t is understood, does not agree
the prospects are that tedious diploma
tic negotiations are the last resource
1t Is ispositively denied that Mrs. Waller
has been compelled to appeal to the
state department to secure Walters re-
lease on the ground that he Is dying, in
his cell. Mrs. Waller herself declares
cmphatically that she has not received
from her husband, nor have any of his
friends. letters saying that his health
is 1ailing, or expressing the belief that
he cannot live much longer, as tele-
graphed from Washington last night.
Crainmond Kennedy and John NJ
Langston, Waller'S attorneys, had a
conference with Mrs. Waller and her
son, Paul Bray. They all agreed that
II would be unwise to sacrifice the
chances for indemnity at present to So
cure Walters release, as he was un-
doubtedly well fed. clothed. and housed
IN the best of French military estab-
lshments. where, even in the case of
Illness. he was provided with better
hlodicai attendance than be could hope
10 secure outside. Mrs. Waller was
convinced that the French government
would spare no e&pense to maintain
nm in good health. and concluded that
II ne were really i'll he could not stand
tne ocean voyage home, and would
therefore be stranded and i'll among
strangers. So she very wisely conclud-
eu 10 trust the matter entirely to Sec
retary Olney and Ambassador Eustis.
IN both OF whom she imposes the full
est confidence. AS she understands IT,
the two questions now under considern
uon by the state department are
whether 1t will be possible to accept
FRANCES offer of Walters release as
an act Of grace, and continue the mat
Ter or indemnity for subsequent ne
EQUATION. or, whether all the facts Jus
Try the United States in peremptorily
demanding indemnity and release sim
ultaneously. 1t is known that the state
department Is not at all satisfied vet
that Waller has valid ground for an in
demnity, some of the evidence on the
SUBJECT being extremely conflicting.

THE BITUMINOUS COMBINE.
gcther for Mutual Bencfit-TO Regulate
Coast Prices

SOuSt fTtScS.
Philadelphia, Nov 10.-Negotiations
are said to have been nearly completed
by which practically all the soft coal
operators Of Central and Western
Pennsylvania and the Cumberland re-
gion interested I'm the tidewater trade
have formed q combination for the allot-
ment of tonnage, much like that which
is supposed to prevail in the anthracite
trade. This important deal which is
understood to include the railroads as
well as the producing corporations and
individual operators, has been attempt
ed several times before. but could never
be carried to successful conclusion
owing to the many conflicting interests
involved. Recently, however, the
threats Of strikes and the demoraliza-
tion Of prices have co-operated to bring
the bituminous people together and the
new combination, or pool, Is the result
of numerous conferences. The parties
to the deal are said to include the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Beach
Creek, Huntingdon and Broad Top,
West Virginia Central, Maryland and
West Virginia. The Norfolk and West
ern Chesapeake and Ohio railroads are
said not to be included in the deal
The operators interested In the move
ment include practically all, both large
and small, whose mines lie In the coun-
try tributary to the railroads named,
and whose products comes to tide In
arranging the combination each mine
has been allotted a certain percentage
of tonnage and central agencies are
to be established for each railroad sys-
tenn. This does not mean that the Of
fees of the individual operators are to
be abolished. but that a strict watch Is
to be kept to see that the percentages
allotted are closely adhered to. The eff
feet of the deal will be, it is expected,
that the output can be better regu-
lated according to the demands of the
market than has been possible hitherto,
and that prices can be better main
tained than under the present fierce
competition for trade.

LIFE SAVED BY A KISS.
Result of q Married Mans Filtration with
Farmers Daughtcr.

u hSt . DuuSutSEs
Topeka, Nov. 10.-It is not often that
so small a thing as a kiss saves a hu-
man life, but If l.. l.. Baker, the bag
gageman on the recently wrecked Mis-
souri, Pacific train, near Neaton, had
remained in his seat a moment longer
his life would have been crushed out of
him in that accident. A few hundred
yards from where the wreck occurred
lives ell-tO-do-farmer. Several
months ago his daughter stood in the
kitchen doorway one day as the train
in the open doorway of his car, and,
seeing the girl. carelessly waved his
hand to her. She slightly returned the
signal, and from that incident sprang
up a passing Irritation" as the train
men call it.
On the day of the accident to his
train Baker was sitting In his chair.
and when the engineman whistled for
the crossing near the farmhouse. Baker
quickly arose to give his accustomed
salutation, which had grown into
throwing kiss to the girl. Just as his
part of the greeting was performed
and before she had time to return it,
the crash came, and Bakers car was q
mass of ruins in an instant. His
stading in the strong door frame saved
his life. AS 1T was, he was pinned un-
der mass of rubbish, but got off with
a few bruises and slight scratches. Pas
sengers succeeded in extrlcating him
among the first, and when he was re-
leased and stood upon his feet the
first greeting was from the farm lassie,
who begged to know if he was hurt
He assured her that he was not, and
with a smile she blushingly ran back to
the house. Then Baker realized a new
danger. An innocent passing fiirta-
ton" was of consequence. but here was
n pretty. bright young person suddenly
becoming deeply interested In his well
fare and to satisfy q little wife with
two children at his Mcpherson home
that 1t was all right, was the anxious
problem in his mind. The girl and her
father were around the wreck during
the time they remained there, but Bak-
er found himself too busily occupied
with other matters to give her more
than a passing notice.
When Baker arrived at home he told
his wife all about 1t. and Conductor
Patterson assured her of the manner
IN which her husbands life had been
saved, when the wife frankly said that
her husband could ilirt with every farm
lassie along the entire run If 1t would
only save his life. All the facts have
been carried to the girl. and between
her and Mrs. Baker there has sprung
up a friendship stronger and more en-
during than usually results from q
passing Irritation"

GOOD SHOWING MADE.
Pennsylvania Footbnllers Arc Hopeful
Notwithstanding Certain Draw backs.

Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-Pennsylyania
foot ballers today were disposed to look
upon the prospect of their eleven in a
mre encouraging light than they had
been previus to the game with State
College yesterday. The men them
selves were much encouraged by the
showing made. The interference and
team play was improved, as was also
their defense, in spite of the fact that
State scored much stronger. Captain
Williams, Minds and Guard Woodruff
gave unmistahable evidences that they
are badly In need of rest, and they were
sent to Atlantic City today for a few
days to regain their health and
strength. Half Back Colbert and
Guard Wharton are still In poor shape,
but 1t Is expected that few days. rest
will see them fit again.
The practice which the team takes in
the next ten days will determine much
in the minds of the coachers as to the
teams chances of victory over Har-
ward. That Harvard will present n
much stronger article of foot bali
against them than they presented
against Princeton Is pretty certain and
Pennsylvania will need to play q much
better game than did the Tigers. Har-
yard freshmen will probably defeat the
pennsylvania freshmen easily in their
game next Saturday, as the local team
Is very weak one.

POISONED AT WEDDING.
In Both Cases tho Mischief Was Caused
by Pressed Chicken.


Ottawa, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-About forty
persons were poisoned at wedding in
Grand Ridge on Thursday night, and
only the prompt action OF the village
physician saved from death those seri-
ously affected. 1t was the wedding Of
John \. Caldwell. the mayor of Cherry
Vile. Kan. and Miss Alcetta Malacy, Of
Grand Ridge, at which the poisoning
occurred. Soon after eating the sup
per the guests became i'll. and great ex-
citement prevailed. 1t is thought that
the poison, through some chemical ac-
tion, was formed in the pressed chicken
which had been prepared several DAYS
In advance of the wedding. Many Of
those afflicted are still Ill, including the
bride and bridegroom. Clark Moss is

YALE TO BE STRENGTHENED.
The Conchcr Feels That the Team Has
LOafcd Long Enough.

New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. 10.-The
coachers Of the Yale eleven held a con-
sultation today and discussed means to
strengthen the eleven. 1t is no secret
to Yale that the team went to Brown
yesterday to roll up big score against
the Providence boys, and the fact that
their best efforts were Intellectual in do
ing better than score single touch
down, while Brown was doing the
same, has left the coachers in supreme
disgust. The practice this week will be
terrific. The coachers feel that the
team has loafed long enough, and some
hard work will be done.
The Princeton game Is ten days dis
tant and some radical reforms will be
introduced into the development of the
eleven. Hartwell and Hlnkey have
been selected as the virtual head coach
ers of the team from now until the end
Of the season, but will be assisted by
half dozen more who will arrive soon.
