LOWER THE LAKES.
Report of the Government Commission on
the Drainage Canal.

Report of the Government Commission on
the Drainage Canal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The report
OF the board Of army engineers ap-
pointed by the sec1 etary of war to re-
port upon the effect the Chicago drain
age canal would have upon the waters
OF Lake Michigan has been received at
the war department.. 1t probably will
not be made public until the return of
Secretary Lamont. Very little can be
learned as to the contents of the re.
port although it is understood that the
board finds that the canal probably
would reduce the average level of Lake
Michigan about inches, and possibly
Lake Huron the same. This lower
level no doubt would be objec-
tionable to the shipping interests,
but the fact that the lake
has varied from one cause or another,
such as a lack of rainfall, or unusual
evaporation, more than one foot, in
different years, ships have been built
with view to accommodating them
selves to this reduced level. It is IN.
derstood that the ros'tion taken by the
board is that the former variations are
such as to not make this reduction Of
six inches Of very great Importance.
What action will be taken on the re-
port will not be determined until Sec.
rotary Lamont has given hearing to
all interested parties.

Fire Along the Dock Destroys Immense

MILWAUKEE, Aug. "a A fire which
threatened to make havoc equal to that
wrought In the THIRD ward three years
ago, broke out at o'clock in the ware
house OF the Uuion Steamboat com.
pany on the Menominee river. A
strong wind was blowing and the
flames spread rapidly, destroying the
following buildings: Union Steam
boat company's warehouse, Anchor
Line warehouse, Pennsylvania railroad
freight warehouse, Wisconsin Central
ireighthouse, part of Pritzlaf ware
house, Delaney Oil warehouse and E.
1. Doyn's plumbing shop. In addition
to those mentioned q row Of frame
dwellings on Fowler street were de-

IMPERSONATED THE VICTIM.
Principal Piece of Evidence Against Mrs.
Perkins.

Principal Piece of Evidence Against Mrs.
Perkins.
MINNEAPoL1s, Aug. 26.-The sensa-
tional arrest of Mrs Lora Perkins for
the murder of Mrs Lola Hawkins is
still the talk of the town. The funda-
mental and principal piece Of evidence
which the state has against Mrs. Per-
.kins is the assertion that she impersOn-
ated Mrs Hawkins in taking out the
two insurance policies, forged Mrs
Hawkins signature to the policies and
herself paid the two premiums. The
agents who wrote the policies will both
swear that it was Mrs Perkins, the de-
PENDANT, who made out the application
for the policies and signed them, repre-
senting herself to them to be Mrs.
Hawkins and signing the name, Lola
Hawkins
Another Strong Point,
this being circumstantial evidence, is
that Mrs. Perkins boy, Frank, told
certain parties that his mother had
told him the night before the fatal fire
to sleep with all his clothes on. The
state can prove that the boy stated
his mother told him to do this and
that he also said she told him to have
all his clothes on the night before the
first fire occurred At the hour the first
occurred certain of the neighbors were
a little surprised to see Frankie rush
from the burning house fully dressed,
and asked him how it happened, receiv-
ing theply that his mother told him the
night before to sleep on the lounge with
his clothes ON.

BULL FIGHTING IN AMERICA.

Six Thousand People Witness the Mexi-
can Sport in Colorado.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Aug. &c.
Another bull was killed in the arena at
Gillett Sunday in the presence Of 5000
people and the work was done in the
style of Spain and Mexico. The first
bull turned into the arena was an ex-
ceedingly tame animal even after the
darts were in him. He refused to fight
and the multitude cried for new ami
NAL. Arizona Charley appeared to be
equally disguised and he upbraided the
band Of cowboys that drove the bull into
the arena. The next animal made a
fight for his life, but it's fight was quick
~ over. Chieta, the king Of the arena
in not only Mexico, but in Spain, made
two stabs at the animal and then left
him practically dead, but the Mexicans
with the ret. cloaks released the creature
and made him dart at them. One came
within all ace Of losing his life and
there was great excitement i'll conse-
quence, especially among the little party
from the country to which the i'll
Gividual belonged. Not a few women

An Exhibition of Cruelty.
At the ring not a single shout Of ap-
approval was heard. Not all applaud
ing hand was raised. For four minutes,
which to many seemed to stretch into
49, the bull had fought with death and
men in the full sight of them all, blood
squirting from gaping sword wounds
just back of his right shoulder, yelling
from his mouth and nostrils, flecking
his own sides and forming great pools
on the ground. For over two or three
minutes the bull stood motionless al
most, save for heaving sides as he gave
long gasps for breath, then fell. Only
a few seconds he lay quite still. Then
he slowly struggled to his feet and
leaned against the heavy barrier Of
the bull ring as if for support, pitifully
weak from the crimson streams fast col
oring the ground about him. Then he
gathered himself and started slowly
forward,
Staggering and Waving
from side to side. For 20 feet the bull
advanced, weak, bloody, faltering, then
fell again, his fresh, warm blood welled
up little over the clotted mass on the
animals shoulder, at every step lessen
ing the pulsation of the heart. A
Spaniard in a gaudy costume stepped up
to the quivering beast and sent the sharp
point of sword blade into the neck Of
the animal, swapping the spinal chord.
The legs of the animal drew up con-
vulsively and then life, chung to so des-
perately and long, was gone.
It was simply an exhibition of cruelty
and was not enjoyed at all by the
crowd.
Over a hundred deputy sheriffs were
in attendance and the management was
again placed under arrest, but no at
tempt was made to stop the proceed

report on credentials and resolutions,
and the time was thus consumed in
the contests between the
Gold and Silver Mon.
The gold men, headed by Senator
Brice, had claimed that there would be
less than 800 and probably not more
than 200 of tho sos. delegates vote for
free silver. The silver men claimed
that they would have no less than 800
and probably $50 delegates for free
silver. 1t developed that there were
27O free silver delegates. 1t was a
fighting minority but it did not carry
the fight further than on the plat orm.
The nominee for member: of the board
of public works is said to be the only
free silver man on the state ticket, al
though the silver lines were not drawn
on the candidates. There was consid-
cradle enthusiasm over the nomination
of Campbell. He defeated ex-Gover-
nor Foraker in 1889 and was defeated
for reelection as governor in 1891 by
William Mckinley, Jr., the present in
cumbent. The nomination Of Campbell
Means an Aggressive Campaign in Ohio,
where Mckinley is now recognized as
a candidate for president and Foraker
for senator, the tate of both depending
largely upon the pending contest be-
tween Campbell and Bushnell for gov
ernor. 1t is generally understood that
Governor Campbell was induced TO
make the race by promises of support
for the presidential nomination, in the
event OF his success next November, in
which contingency he again confronts
his old opponent, Mckinley, should the
latter be nominated. And in cooper
atlng with Senator Brlce for Demo
cratic legislature Ex-Governor Camp
bell is also again confronting his other
old opponent, Foraker. 1t is thought
the contest between these old leaders
in Ohio will overshadow the currency
question and other issues.
Previous to his election as governor
in 1889 Campbell had been three times
elected to congress in a Republican
district and is recognized as the best
campaigner of his party in Ohio.
The Platform.
The fight OF the day in the conven.
ton was on the money question, the
majority report favoring ''sound
money" being adopted by a vote of
525 to 40. The resolutions endorse
Cleveland and Brice anu point with
pride to the work of the last Demo
cratic congress.
