THE NAVAL MANEUvERS.

Request of the Japanese Government to
Witness Them Denied.
New York, August ga Herald
dispatch from Washington to the navy
department. has refused permission to
the japanese government to have one
of its officers witness the maneuvers of
the North Atlantic squadron. The re-
quest was preferred by the Japanese
minister some days ago, and he has just
received reply containing the refusal.
The department. authorities state in
this communication that the maneuvers
will be extremely simple in character
and will be simply preliminary to
others to be held in the future.
Japan is not the only nation inter-
ested in the coming naval maneuvers
of the North Atlantic squadron. Other
nations have determined that they
would like to have an officer witness
them, but none has gone to the length
which Japan took. Besides informing
the japanese government of their re-
fusal in this connection, it is under
stood the reply says they will be glad
to have Japanese officer witness the
maneuvers of our squadron when our
navy is more familiar with drills, ex-
ercises, etc. The vessels will leave
about August for Newport, where
they will remain for a short time, and
then go to Portland to attend a fair to
be held there. Great interest is being
manifested in the maneuvers, and con-
siderable benefit is expected to result.

Nothing to Prevent the Fight.

Dallas, Tex, August 3.-Ex-C City
Judge Charles Fecklor, regarded as
one Of the clearest legal minds in Dali
las, stated the law governing prize
fighting as follows: 1.-The last legis-
lature adopted new criminal code
which made prizefghting misde-
meanor, punishable with fine of not
less than $500 nor more than 81, 900,
and an imprisonment Of thirty days.
This law went into operation July 20.
The legislature also subsequently pass
ed civil code and it enacted that
fight may take place by taking out
license for $500. This law goes into
effect September 1, thirty days before
the Corbett Fitzsimmons contest
There is no doubt the supreme court
will hold it is or will be the law after
the 1st of September. The civil code
was adopted last and, therefore, will
take precedence over the other" This
opinion is concurred in by every lawyer
in Dallas, who has read the law, and
there is no power to prevent the Cor
bett- t-Fitzsimmons fight.

Another Federal Investigation.

San Francisco, August 5. - The
Chronicle publishes an article in regard
to alleged frauds In the railway SER
vice on the Pacific coast which it says
promise to lead to one of the most far
reaching federal Investigations ever
held here.
1t is alleged by Railway Postal Clerk
E. s. Glover, and others, that the
United States mails were fraudently
stuffed, with the advice and consent of
superintendent Samuel Flint, of the
eighth division of the railway service,
during the month of June, 1894, in Or
der that the weights carried during
that month, which formed the basis for
estimating the compensation to be paid
the railroads for the next four years,
might appear unduly large. Railway
postal clerks of long standing say there
are great opportunities for stufing the
cars in such way as to rob the gov
ernment of millions each year. The
Chronicle says that this local scandal
opens up wide field for congressional
investigation.

THOSE UNION PACIFIC RAILS,
Shank on Trial in Nebraska for AT
tempting to Steal Them.

Shank on Trial in Nebraska for At
tempting to Steal Them.
Grand Island, Neb., August g.
George 81. Shank, who, with one Rails
ton, was charged with attempting to
load $25, 200 worth of rails stolen from
the Union Pacific company, and ship
the same during the nightEof July 4,
was given preliminary hearing yester-
day and was bound over to the district
court in the sum of $500. President
Patrick, of an Eastern road now build
ing, testified to contract With Shank
to furnish 1000 tons of new and five
tons of relay rails, and that he has
come here to ascertain why they were
not shipped.
Shank and Ralston claimed to have
bought the rails. The state attempted
to show that several days before the
alleged attempt was made, Ralston, in
the presence of Shank, openly boasted
that he would take the pile Of rails in
dispute. It was shown against Shank
that the plan was to load the rails that
night and ship them, and that Shank
and Ralston had made trip on
branch roads to find more rails.

THE CLOTHING-MAKERS.
Every Contractor Will Sign Agreement
Else the Strike Continues.

Every Contractor Will Sign Agreement,
Else the Strike Continues.
New York, August 6.-The execu-
tive committee of the Garment Makers
Union held a meeting today to discuss
the attitude of the contractors, as laid
down by Secretary Wilkowsky at the
midnight conference. Should single
contractor decline to sign the agree
ment, the Brotherhood of Tailors will
refuse to declare the strike off, but it
| is believed that all the contractors will
submit to the terms of the brotherhood.
At today's meeting the executive
committee of the garment-makers de-
cided to obtain reports from all the
shops and have them read at the meet
ing in Cooper Institute tomorrow.
It is possible that the union will
decide to ignore the action of Secre
tary Wilkowsky in making the surren-
der, and will prolong its resistance to
the strikers.
Acting Chief Conlins had a confer
ence today wiGh Secretary Wilkowsky,
of the contractors association. The
acting chief said he had reason to be-
lieve that at least $50 shops would
start up for business with nonunion
men, and that he was ready to furnish
police protection which would natur-
ally be required in such an event. He
said, however, that Secretary Wilkow-
sky had given him no assurance that
such would be the case. He said that
Mr.. Wilkowsky told him that some
shops might open, but that they would
not be compelled to call upon the po-
lice for protection. In the meantime,
however, the off platoon of police has
been ordered to remain on duty as they
have for the past week.

CONDITION OF CORN.
This Years Crop Will Be the Largest
Ever Known.

1
| Ever Known.
| Chicago, August 5.-A local paper
says: The crop of corn this year will
be the largest that has ever been
known. It is estimated at present
that the yield will exceed by 200, 900,
900 bushels the record of any previous
year. The condition did not exist a
month ago. At that time continued
drouth in nearly all corn states made
the outlook dubious for an average
yield. But the rains came, heavy and
continued showers, just at the time
most needed, and today prosperity
hovers closer over millions of homes
than for many years.
How much depends on the corn crop
is realized by few. The crop will
bring more money, if marketed, than
all other products combined. The es-
timated yield of corn for this year is
from 2,25O, ,00O,0 900 to 1850, 900, 900
bushels. At the present price, which
is 35 cents for December or May de-
livery, the cropsswill be worth $780,
600, 900. A decline of cents bushel
would mean difference of $115, 900,
in the value of the crop.
To emphasize the immensity of this
product, it may be said that the state
OF Iowa alone will raise enough corn
this year to supply more than five
bushels to every man, woman and child
in the United States. Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and
Kansas comprise what is termed the
corn belt. This section furnishes nearly,
if not quite, two-thirds of the entire
corn product.
So favorably have the reports be.
come of an enormous crop that the
managers of the various railroads that
traverse the valleys of the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers are already making
arrangements and perfecting their
equipments for handling the crop. The
force of workmen has been increased in
a number of shops, and all rolling
stock is being overhauled and made
available for use, in addition to new
freight cars that are being hurried
rapidly in construction.
The government report of July 18
indicated that there would be an I'm
usually large yield of corn, but since
that report was issued, the conditions
have vastly improved. Secretary
Morton has called for special report
on corn from all weather stations,
which will be furnished soon. The
previous greatest yield of any year was
in 1889, when the acreage was 49,
189, 651 and the yield 2,112,892 BUSH

THE NEGROES run OUT
Illinois Co1ored Miners Put
to Flight.
GIVEN A TASTE OF MOB VIOLENCE
Their Discharge Having Been Denied,
the White Miners Took the Matter
Into Their Own Hands.

Spring Valley, Ill. August 6.-"The
Location" patch of some hundred.
odd company houses near No. shaft,
inhabited almost exclusively by ne.
groes, was this morning visited by
vengeful mob of 500 white miners
from this city, and given taste of
mob violence.
Last night, near midnight, five col
ored men held up white man, Barney
Role, between this city and "The Lo-
cation" and after robbing him of near
ly 500, fired three shots into him and
left him for dead. Role is the third
man shot at "The Location" in the
past few weeks.
When the white miners of this city
heard of the outrage they assembled on
the public square, and decided to march
in a body to General Manager Dalziel's s
house and demand of him the dis
charge of every colored man in ''The
Location" A brass band was Sc
cured, and the mob repaired to the
general managers house. He refused
to grant what the white miners want.
ed. They then told him that as he was
not disposed to run them out of town
they would take the matter up them
selves, and with that they marched to-
ward No. 8. By the time the mob ar
rived at "The Location" most of the
negroes, having been notified of the
wrath of the whites, had fed to the
woods. About dozen were caught
and treated to most violent kicks.
Stones were hurled at them and shots
fired. Two were shot, but not seriously
hurt. The clearinghouse for colored
men at No. 8 was then attacked. All
the inmates fed for their lives. The
mob ransacked the houses, breaking
furniture and committing other depre-
dations. By noon today every negro
had fed. All the afternoon a gang of
men with pistols and shotguns secured
the woods hunting for negroes to shoot
at.
Sheriff Clark arrived late this after
noon with band of deputies. No
more trouble is anticipated, unless the
negroes attempt to come back. There
is terrible prejudice here against
them for frequent and bold outrages
they are charged with committing.
There is much feeling against Dalziel,
at whose instance, it is alleged, they
were imported. Everything is quiet
tonight, but trouble is expected if the
negroes go to work.
A later investigation shows that
there were more negroes seriously hurt
than at first reported. Two persons
were fatally injured and twelve others
severely wounded.
The rioters were all Italian miners.
There has been bad blood between them
and the negroes ever since the latter
were imported here, and it is asserted
that they have been waiting for good
excuse to drive them out. This was
furnished by the shooting of last night.

THE NEW DYNAMoMETER.
An Important Invention by Officers {
the orthern Facific.

An Important Invention by Officers OF
the \ orthern Pacific.
Tacoma, August 6.-An important
invention has been perfected by FL. H.
Warner, master mechanic; General
Manager Kendrick and Chief Engineer
McHenry, of the Northern Pacific. 1t
consists of an instrument for measur-
ing the drawing force of engines and
is an ingenious dynamometer. The
measuring is done by means of dia-
phragm working in cylinder or ves-
sell containing confined fluid, as water,
oil or glycerine. AS the engine draws
on the load behind it, the diaphragm
presses against the liquid, operating a
needle or indicating gauge, which re-
cords every ounce of pressure exerted.
The dynamometer has been sent to
st. Paul and back on freight train,
returning here Friday. Officials say it
will greatly reduce operating expenses
by enabling the makingup of trains
on each division according to the pow
ers of the engine, while heretofore
they have been made up of so many
loaded cars, and there was no way of
accurately proportioning the weight
of the train to the drawing power of
the engines on each division.
Its use will result in reolassifica-
tion of engines on the Northern Pa
cific as soon as enough of the instru-
ments can be made for use on all
trains. The invention results from a
conversation had few years ago be-
tween the inventors regarding the need
of such an instrument.

The publication uf Helen Keller's won
lerful article caused u food of letters 10
be poured uron her by ersuns, young
and old, wEo were interested by her
charming story. SO many were these
letters that we have been requested to
say to our readers that Helen's time is
much occupied with study and that she
cannot reply to any of her friendly un-
known correspondents even by acknowl-
ndging the receipt of their letters.
To one of the earliest of these CORE
spondents Helen wrote letter, which
we are permitted to copy, which is thor
oughly characteristic of the writer and
shows q maturity Of thought little less
than marvellous in one so young as she:
II want you to know that your kind
letter made me very happy, so write
this little note to thank you for writing
to me and TO tell you how pleased am
that you enjoyed my story so much.
81 had no idea when wrote it that
such simple little story would make
me so many new friends. so have been
astonished at the large number of letters
which have received since its publica-
tion. cannot possibly answer all OF
them, but your letter made me feel that
your heart was sad about something, so
thought | would write you a few
words of loving sympathy.
81 wish l knew the magical word that
would dispel the darkness which you say
has descended on your spiritual sight,
but sometimes by simply waiting things
come right. The darkest night brings
with it its own lamp, and while waiting
for God to light tive can multiply sweet
acts of love and hold out tender, help
full hand to those more unfortunate than
ourselves. Youths Companion.

there is no waste room in it from square

impossible for it to spread, as the sheet
