Horrible Death.

Magnus Ry berg, who was one of the
machinists at the Phoenix mill, Mime
apolis, was strangled to death while
adjusting some machinery. His body
was found a few moments after the ac-
cident occurred, but life was extinct.
Ryberg had entered head first tub
ular dust collector, in which there was
an air pump. In the bottom of the air
pump there is an aperture. Through
this Ry berg stuck his head, and just
then he was caught by one of the two
dust carriers which revolve within the
pump. The carrier caught him beneath
the chin in a yice-like grip, and it was
but a few of seconds until he was dead.

reois1duc,h Kite.

A peculiar accident, which came near
ending The eafthly career of Charles
BARKER occurred at Winona during a
kite flying contest. Mr.. Barber, who
inaugurated the contest, appeared with
kite measuring eight feet from top to
bottom, and with the assistance of a
couple Of friends he proceeded to fly it,
After the kite was well in the air, Bar
Der fastened the rope by which it was
held around his body in order to hold
it better. No sooner. had he done this
than the friends who were aiding him
let go the cord, thinking that Barber
could hold it all right. AS they let go
Barber was dragged along the ground
for some rods, and then lifted bodily
into the air. His friends tried to res
cue him, but they could not reach him,
and he was afraid to DROP even if he
could have done 80. The kite pulled
him up into the air over Is feet and
then the wind seemed to die away. Bar
Der and the kite began to sink slowly
|and gracefully, and lin a few minutes
she was dropped into the river, which is
wide. Tied as he was to the kite, Bar
Der could not sink, and in short time
he was rescued by a man with boat,
who brought him to shore after cutting
the rope which held the kite. The kite
fell in marsh land on the Wisconsin
side of, the river. Mr.. Barber is none
the worse for his trip in the air.

MAKING OF ARMoR PLATES.
The Indian Head Tests the Beginning
ola Revolution.


NEW YORK, February 25.-The opin-
ion is generally expressed by naval ex-
perts in this city that the results OF tests
made on the fourteen-inch armor plate
at Indian Head Thursday are only the
beginning of revolution in the process
of making plates Of this class. John IL
A. Leishman, the president of the Car
negie Steel Company, came to New
York to-day in company with Mr.. Frick
to consult Mr.. Carnegie in reference to
the trial and future experiments in this
process of making plates. MIR. Lelsh'
man in an interview said:
at is perhaps a little premature to
say that the entire process OF making
armor plates will be revolutionized by
the extraordinary results of the tests
made at Indian Head Thursday, but it
| is certain that new field for develop
ment has suddenly been opened to us,
and it is i'm possible to say what results
NAV not be obtained after the series OF
experiments suggested to us by the trial
have been made. One thing is very ev-
ident, and that is the making of armor
plate is in its infancy, and it now seems
to have been reduced to a race between
the steel manufacturers in countries
building warships as to who will soonest
attain the highest perfection in the art
of producing the plates.
1.-THE qualities of steel are so peculiar
that any change in the process OF han
ding it in its manufacture may lead to
great changes IN the result. 1t might
be said that the manufacture of steel is
also in its infancy, SO that armor plates
made of this material are susceptible of
great improvement. | cannot say that
the government will order all future
plates to be made by this process, but |
believe that Captain Sampson was very
favorablv impressed with the result at
Indian Head Thursday. OF course it is
not our place to urge the government to
adopt any particular process. 1t is our
place to make the plates and show what
they can stand. The plate that was
tested Thursday was not made Tor any
particular ship. 1t was harveyized
plate seventeen inches in thickness,
which we had placed under the rollers
and reduced to fourteen inches. The
trouble with the surface hardening is
that it makes an uneven strain on the
plate, so that the shock of a projectile
striking it is not evenly distrib uted, and
makes the plate liable to crack. BY
taking harveyized plate and heating it
over again and then putting it under
the rollers the whole mass is made more
even, and the strain of shot striking it
is more evenly distributed"

THE LAST FROM CHINA.
Howie. the Captured American. VIII he
Severely Treated.

LONDON, February 26.-The Central
News agency's correspondent in Toxic
SAYS the naval reports from Wei Hal
Wei mention eleven foreigners, who
were captured with the island forts sur
rendered by the Chinese. Ten of them
swore to take no further part in the
present war. George HOWE. the Amer
lean who came to the East with scheme
to blow up Japanese vessels with sub
marine Internal machines, has been de-
tanned aboard the Japanese flagship,
pending the decision of his fate. The
Japanese made reservation as to
HOWE i'm the articles of capitulation.
They are inclined to treat him severely,
for he was let go on parole after his ar
rest aboard the city of Sydney yet lost
no time in breaking his word and plac-
in his services at the disposal of the Chi
nese.
The Japanese marines, who were killed
in the early torpedo attacks on the Chi
nese fleet at Wei Hal Wei, were buried
with military honors.
The Japanese reports speak highly of
Admiral Ting and the orders which he
wrote just before his suicide to direct the
course of his officers in completing the
arrangements for the surrender.
The Central News correspondent in
Hal Cheng telegraphs under date of
February q, that Northumberland
Katsura then reported the Chinese force,
which formerly held Ryan Wat Sa, had
retreated to New Chwang. The Chinese
forces at In Knng Tong and Sa Tai Su
were about 1000 strong and had some
twelve guns. At Kung Pein Tas the
Chinese had some 1000 men. The gar
risons at New Chwang and Wing Kow
seemed to have been decreased.
The Central News correspondent in
Peking says high officials there express
the hope that Ii Hung Changes appoint
ment to be peace envoy will be accept
able to Japan. He will have full power
to close the negotiations without refer
ring matters to Peking. The time and
place of the negotiations have not yet
been determined.

just What Action Was Taken by the
Legislature of North Carolina.
RALEIGH, n. c., February 26.-There
is a wide misunderstanding over So
called Douglass adjournment by the
general assembly OF North Carolina,
and in connection with 1t there have
been statements which do not present
the matter accurately. The actual facts
are as follows:
The dav after the death of Frederick
Douglass colored repres entative named
Crews offered a resolution providing
that the house adjourn at II noon as ii
mark of respect to Mr.. Douglass. Mr..
Cruptor, Populst, offered an amend
ment to make the hour 2 O'Clock, which
was the regular hour for adjournment.
Speaker Walser ruled the amendment
and resolution both out of order, saying
that the house would not adjourn until
the business of the day was disposed Of.
He then suggested that a motion might
be made that when it did adjourn, 1T
would be as mark of respect. A stand
ing vote on a motion to this effect was
taken and carried. The senate branch
OF the legislature took no notice what
ever of the death of Douglass.

THE THEATER HAT.
Comment Upon the Action of the Cali
fornia Legislature.

CHICAGO, February 25.-The Post has
the following editorial:
"The California legislature is the first
to put in form the rage of the matinee
man against the high theater hat. 1t
has passed law forbdding the wearing
of hats in places of public amusement
and providing for fine of $50 for its
violation.
What silly thing this California
law is. What puerile notion of their
position must these assemblymen enter
tain who fancy their duties comprehenf
a censorship over dress. In other times
and in other countries laws were seri-
ously enacted forbidding this class or
that from wearing boards, or allowing
their hair to grow long, or appearing in
public in certain colors, or donning
blouses of certain kind, or boots of a
certain length. But one would think
that Americans of this century had gone
beyond this sort of experimenting. Pos
sibly the action of the Californians was
tomfoolery which clownish legislators
have engaged in OF late, in which case it
is doubly reprehensible.

COLLEGE KIDNAPPING.
A Bold Affair Which Failed to Break
Up Rival Society's social.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, February 26.-J. E..
Rhinehard, Frank Twineman, Walter
Bum and young Shamel, the university
freshmen who were kidnapped by num-
Der of Greek letter fraternity men, have
been rescued or voluntarily brought
back to their friends. The kidnapping
has caused more excitement than any
thing which has occurred here for years.
The manner in which the men were
seized, blindfolded, tied hand and loot,
thrown into carriage, driven five m .es
out into the country and held captive
in an empty farm house for nearly tif-
teen hours makes a highly interesting
story. The freshmen's social last night,
which the kidnapping was intended to
have broken up, was, however, sue
cess.

New YORK, February 26.-The recent
correspondence relating to the coming
international athletic games between
selected teams representing the New
York and the London Athletic Clubs

done so, it is said, expressly for this
competition. All the events are to be
governed by the customs, rules and
practice prevailing i'll this country, and
MIR. Holman, secretary of the London

prohibitive will be attempted.

THE SEALING DAMAGES.
They Must Be Paid to Maintain the Ma
tiOn's Honor.


tiOn's Honor.
WASHINGTON, February 25.-Secretary
Gresham has decided he will make no
further effort to induce congress to pass
the bill appropriating $4,000 to pay
the damages sustained by British seal
ing vessels seized by our naval ships and
revenue cutters in Behring Sea before
the making of the modus vivendi. If
the bill fails now, then he will proceed
Immediately to draw up treaty for sub
mission to the senate creating an arbl-
tration committee to al just the claims.
The United States will have no other
course open than this, for we should be-
dishonored among nations If we failedt
to carry out the obligations imposed
upon us by our voluntary act in submit
ting the sealing question to the Paris
arbitration. The Paris arbitration tri-
bunal ruled out all claims for conse-}
quential damages, and allowed claims,
only when the vessels had actually been
seized and where the crews had been
imprisoned. Even on this basis the
claims amount to nearly 81 900 900. Be-
sides there were about two-score OF men,
officers and crews of the seized vessels,
who suffered imprisonment, and their
claims were compromised by the agree
ment made by Mr.. Gresham. The Sec
rotary believes if all these claims are
submitted to a committee for adjust
ment, the United States will fare much
worse than under the terms of the pend
inc hill
