srs dash over Duncan at all stages OF

Between the rocks and Tatoosh island the
channel Is deeo. and IN clear weather
steamers pass inside. but IN stormy
weather they make wide detour. so as
TO completely avoid the possaoaiity OF .
collision. The Tatoosh light Is so ar
ranged that a red ray. the signal OF dan
ger. shines over Duncan rock. Vessels
approaching see the great white hight,
but when in line with the rock they
see only the red ray. and accordingly are
made aware Of their bearings When
the rock Is passed the range OF the red
ray gradually disappears. and finally only
the great white Hght can be seen. A
vessel passing close to the Light and In
side the rocks sees only a red fash, but
II Il Is coming into the Straits. seven or
eight miles away. the range being wider.
the ray can be seen Tor several minutes.
Taaoosh is also provided with a siren for
use In thick weather. the duiefa sound
of which has tendency TO chiA one to
the marrow, and gives the uninitiated
the horrors.

SOCIALISTS AND THE POLICE
A Lively Engagement in the Streets of
Vienna
Attempt to Rescue a Prisoner Precipitated
the TrOuble--A Number of the
Officers Injured

VIENNA, June 9.-The long expected
conflict between woikingmen and the po-
lie took place today. Ten thousand Ia
borers gathered on the streets of the city,
according to preconcerted arrangement
and Depuy Pernerstorfer and other social
ist leaders made speeches to the crowd.
Upon the arrival of the police they de-
clured the meeting illegal and requested
the audience to disperse. The crowd noislly
separated, but the arrest OF man named
Feigl caused collision between the po-
lice and the cialists, who tried to rescue
the prisoner.
The police were stoned and many small
fights occurred in various portions OF the
city. A mounted inspector had his arm
torn off and was nearly pulled off his
horse. Another inspector was thrown
and kicked in the abdomen. Three Police
were. injured by the shower of stones.
Nineteen socialists nave been placed un-
der arrest.

WAS LURED TO HIS DEATH
W. H. ChappelI Shot and Killed at
Omaha
The Tragedy Occurred in Residence and a
Woman Claims Responsibility
for the Crime

OMAHA, June 9.--About o'clock this
morning W. IL. Chappell was shot and
instantly killed at the home of James
ish in this city. He had sold the family
a sewing machine ana mad been sum-
moned several times to fix it and was
sent for Saturday. He came this evening
instead, and according to the story told
by Mrs. lsh, att empted to assault her
while her husband was in another part of
the house. She claims that when she
screamed Chappell drew a revolver, but
that she grabbed it from his hand and
commenced shooting at him. Her hus-
band rushed into the room revolver in
hanu, and Mrs. Ish says she grabbed that
revolver also and continued the shooting.
In all nine shots were fired. four of which
struck Chappell.
Mrs. Ish was placed in custody, but
later developments indicate that it is like
ly the woman's husband did the shoot
ing, and that the assault story was told
to screen him. The letters found on the
person of the dead man show conclusive
" that he and Mrs. Ish had been unduly
intimate.
Chappeli came here from Kansas City,
where he was formerly a detective in
the employ of one of the railroads. He
leaves u widow and one child.

THE LONDON MARKETS
Plenty of Money Offered Chile-The Stoc
Exchange Quiet


Exchange Quiet
LONDON. June 9.-The Chilean loan
which has Just been hoated here was COW
loan being regarded as especially advan-
tageous by European tinanciers.
There has been considerable disappoint-
ment because OF the exclusion of London
bankers from taking part III the Chilean
Loan recently guaranteed by Russia and
this kept money rather weak during the
past week. The stock exchange since
the holidays has been quiet to dullhess.
The demand for gilt-edge securities for
investment mas been as keen as ever, but
other securities have been demanded in
certain directions only when business
has been realizing profits. Prices have
been generally depressed.
The Spanish markets have been weak
because of the Cuban troubles, while the
porte's refusal to grant the Arm enian
reforms has kept the foreign market ex-
tremely dull.
South American securities have been
fat, and even the South African mining
shares have been dull.
Business has been restricted to these,
being Mexican securities. Canadians re-
main at u low price.
American securities, except the best
class bonds, have relapsed. Despite the
improving nature of the traffic returns,
the general public has not recovered from
the feeling of timidity, and as soon as
holders see small profit they hasten to
take it.

70 ESCAPE FROM THE HEAT.
Justice Stephen J. Field Arrives
on the Coast
CHANGES IN THE CABINET
The Jurist Pronounces MIR. 0Iney a
Very Able Man
Judge Field Says That Sentiment Is Growing
In Favor Of Taking Possession of
the Nicaragua Canal
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 9.-Justice
Stephen J. Field arrived from Washing
ton today and will remain on the coast
several months. With him are Mrs.
Field, Mrs. j. Condit-Smith, Miss Con-
dit Smith and Miss MARY o. Condit-
Smith.
Judge Field says that he came out on
account of his health and to get away
from the heat of the east and into the
cool breezes OF San Francisco. His
knee, which was injured many years
ago, is giving him considerable trouble.
Judge Field had heard of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Harmon as attorney gene
raj but did not remember him. Speaking
of Mr.. Olney the new secretary of state,
he said: Mr.. Olney is very able man.
l have no idea, however, what his
position will be on questions of foreign
policy. There is great deal of feeling
in the east that we should have a more
decided foreign policy.
The sentiment is growing very much
in favor of the United States taking
possession of and opening up the Mica
ragua canal. What Mr.. Olney's posibio
on that subject will be | cannot say.
- am sure that the feeling all over
the United States is in favor of that
canal. Admiral Ammen lately told me
in Washington that if Mr.. Cleveland had
not withdrawn from the senate the treaty
with Nicaragua. which ceded the
United States control of a canal and
granted land ten miles on each side, it
would have been completed five years
ago. | have strong impression that Mr.
Cleveland is more in favor OF the project
now, and l think that is the general i'm
preston in the east.
Senator after senator with whom
have spoken speak of the building of the
canal by this country as thing that is
bound to take place soon.
My opinion is that it would change
the commerce of the western world as
much as the Suez canal changed the com
merce of the eastern wclld. 1t seems
amazing to me that anyone would have
any objection to it. California and all
the people from British Colum bia down
along the whole Pacific coast have an inn
mense interest in it.
Il remember conversation with Mr..
Chase. who said that there are certain
great events in the history of the world
that stamp character on countries, and
spoke of the completion of the Suez canal
as one of the great historical events, and
then he passed on to the subject of some
interoceanic canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific.
1T would rebound greatly to tn honor
of country that would carry it through
