MONARCH HIS SPECIES.
KiIing of an Alligator That Measured
Fourteen Feet in Length.

killing OF an Alligator That Measured
Fourteen Feet in Length.
To F. A. Dennettee and to his
brother, Elton D. Dennettee, belongs the
credit for the killing of Fort Georges
famous gator, a giant in size and so
old that his back is crusted with bar
nacles and moss. But their encounter
with the saurian was not without ex-
element and some damage to the hunt
ers. They found the gator in one of the
small creeks that run through the is
land, sneaked upon him in their boat
and let him have a bullet from a Win
chester. The big fellow gave a roar Of
rage and pain and at once started for
the small craft, his jaws wide open and
his tail lashing the v ater into yeasty
foam. They jammed an oar into the
gators mouth and he crunched it into
pulp, and then they took the other 10
stem his onslaughter, but he broke that,
too, and ground it into kindling wood.
When almost upon the boat he swung
his tail against it and nearly upset it.
Elton Dennettee was knocked over
board, and no sooner had the gator
seen him than he made for him, and if
the young man had not hastily scram-
bled on board he would certainly have
met an awful fate. The two men had
two pairs of oars and with these they
managed to keep the little craft away
rom a swing of the saurian's tail, which
would have crushed in the sides as if
they were paper. While one of the
hunters kept clear of the enraged beast
the other kept pumping lead into him
from the Winchester until the water
was covered with red foam, telling that
the monster was badly hurt. Finally
he appeared to give up the ghost, turned
over on his back and hoated upon the
surface. They 1assoed and towed him
ashore, but the gator was not dead,
and still had any quantity of fight in
him. and SO. when one of the sportsmen
ventured too close the gator gave
lash with his tail, knocked the young
fellow upside down and para1yzed his
legs for the time being and went for
him, grabbing his foot in his frightful
jaws, and in1icting a painful and per-
haps serious injury. It was just two
minutes before the jaws of the beast
could be pried open, and it was an hour
later before the last spark of life fed
from the reptile.

not endnre her absence and came to
Chicago to secure her return, taking her
watch as pledge that she would
again join the angel band. The
case was compromised after the trial

FROM CAPITAL TO CAPITAL
A Direct Line of the Associated Press
Connects Mexico and Washington.

A Direct Line of the Associated Press
Connects Mexico and Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The Post this
morning says: For the first time in the
history of American newspapers a direct
line for the transmission of news con-
meets the capital of the United States
aud the capital of Mexico Hitherto the
dispatches between this country and the
city of Mexico have travelled a round
about way. Some of them came by
Laredo, Tex. overland. and others travel
ed under the waters of the gulf to Gal
weston and then began their long
journey to the east.
The way was devious and much valua-
bic time. was lost. Last night. however.
by leased wire arrangement perfected
by the Associated Press with the Co
operation of the Western Union telegraph
company there was inaugurated
direct rapid connection between Wash
ington and the City of Mexico The
news of the two capitals will be flashed
from one city to another in an incredibly
short space of time.
An event in the City of Mexico worthy
of the knowledge of the readers of the
Post for instance. will be known in
Washington within ten minutes after it
has been placed on the wire.
But this interesting exhibition of en-
terprise does not stop here. This morn
ing for the first time full report of the
Associated Press is printed in the Mexi-
can capital appearing in the Herald, the
leading paper of the republic. This is
an innovation which suggests wide
field for the Imagination and illustrates
how closely the interests of the two ro-
publics are allied.
MEXICO CITY, Aug 29,-President
TAiaZ rof0rrinn IN M mt
that the service of the Associated Press
from now on would be received in the
capital every day, said that ia his opin-
ion this would be great advancement
in journalism in Mexico.
"Here in the capital of the republic" "
he said, twas printed the first book ever
printed in the world, and here also was
published the first daily paper on this
hemisphere. For three reasons Mexico is
greatly interested in everything pertain
ing to the progress of journalism Mex
leo has always been grand civilized ma
ton. maintaining schools and colleges
and literature has received protection
from various governments since the most
remote times. At the present time the
government is publishing at her own
cost many scientific books for distribu
ton among public literary and scientific
men.
"All honorable and conscientious jour
nalists who devote themselves to matters
| of practical interest receive the protec
tion of the government. Notable i'm
provements are already apparent in the
most enterprising journals. They use
| illustrations to explain and illustrate
their articles and show spirit of ad-
vancement worthy of great praise
81 am much pleased that Mexico by
means of the new telegraphic service
will be put in intimate contact with the
rest of the world 1t is another sign of
prosperity and creates new bond to
connect Mexico with the other nations of
the civilized world"

WANTIT ABOLIS HE'D.
Wichita Citizens Petition Gov. NIOrrilI to
Do Away With Police Commission.

k1cn1ta ClG1Zen9 RGI1C1On SIOFs AOFT1k1 to
Do Away with Police Commission.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. ga special to
the Star from Wichita says: Petitions
are being circulated and largely signed
urging Governor Morrill, to abolish the
the present city government under the
police commission.
The petition says that the expense of
police supervision az it now exists is in
excess of $4,000 per year and that there
by the payment of revenue, every fund
has been overdrawn until at this time
there is deficit chargeable to each fund
in excess of the amount which may be
raised to meet them.
It states that at the urgent demands of
various mass meetings held before the
last election, men were elected pledged
to rigid economy in city expen-
ditures and cites the fact that
since that time the lighting ex
penses has been reduced 20 per cent; fire
department maintenance 20 per cent
street department expenditures 40 per
cent, while corresponding reductions
have been made in all other city depart
ments.
1t also says: "There should be a re-
duction in the expenditures of the
police department or the city will
be utterly unable to raise funds
to meet them. We earnestly urge that
this department again be placed in the
hands of the mayor and council to the
end that retrenchments may be made
here as in other departments.

socialists had the flag ready and said
they would fly it at the big open air dem

John Swinton are to be present as guests

unfurl any purely red flag on the streets
and I doubt if they be allowed to unfurl
it at the grounds"

ROBERT ]. TOO GOOD.
Wins from Patchen and Gentry
in Straight Heats.
Race Was Free-for-All Pace at
Fleetwood.
PATCHEN WAS FOURTH
The Favorite Couldn't EyenBeat
Mascot or Gentry.
WAS FOURTH
Time Of the HeatsWas 2:O4 1-2 !;
2:O6 IL; 2:O4 3-4.

New York, Aug. 29.-Today's race at
ing class with Joe Patchen, Robert ].
and John R. Gentry as the starters, is
likely to be the event of the year in har-
ness racing, those three famous PAGERS
being the fastest trio ever seen in con-
tests up to this time.
All are in good condition apparently
and each has his followers who believe
him to be invincible when fit and right
for race. Joe Patchen, who has beaten
both of his rivals during the past month,
is the favorite in the betting but it is
conceded that he will probably have to
pace the race of his life to win. F. P.
Olcott has offered $1,000 to the horse that
beats the stallion record of 2:03M now
held by John r. Gentry.
The temperature is nearly 90 in the
shade and the track dry and hard.
The purse in the free for all pace was
S., 600. Joe Patchen was naturally the
favorite in the betting on account of his
defeat of Gentry last week at Chicago in
previously beaten Patchen at Freeport,
Illinois. Robert Us record is 2:0116, Joe
Patchen 2:034 and John r. Gentry 2:04.
First heat-Robert J. won, Mascot

Kier Hardie Says Condition of Sweat Shops

New YORK. Aug. 29.-Before leaving
for the west Kier Hardie, the English
labor leader, and his colleague and CO.
worker, Frank Smith, called at the office
of the general executive board of the
United Garment Workers association.
Mr.. Hardie told General Secretary
Riechers he found the condition of the
east side sweat shops much better than
that of the shops in London. Mr.. Reich
ers told him this condition was due to
persistent agitation and strikes.
Mr.. Harde said it was his intention to
call at the Offices Of all big labor organi-
cations in his tour through the country.
Il want to see how they run things" he
said 81 think the garment workers are
doing excellent work. What the labor
organizations need are the same business
methods that capitalists use. After the
labor organization has been perfected a
socialist party can be built on it. The
socialistic and the trade union move
ments go hand-in- band"

THE SPASMODIC CYCLIsT.
A Week of Inactivity and Then Long
Sunday Ride.

sunday R1des
We think that every community pos
sesses it's quota of cyclists who need to
pay better heed to intelligent methods
OF using taeir bodies. A week of phys
ical inactivity, such as is the lot Of most
men who earn their living with their
brains, cannot safely be followed by
hard, smashing, all day Sunday ride.
Thousands Of riders suffer for not realiz-
ing the necessity of using some rational
and natural system of keeping them
selves fit for muscular work Daily light
exercise to begin with, increased rea-
sonably as development advances, will
soon enable any healthy cyclist to do
fairly hard riding without fear of injur-
ing himself. Those who find pleasure in
such riding and are limited in their in
diligence to one day in the week should
contrive to take enough daily exercise to
keep in form. A half hour every morn
ing and evening, weather permitting,
should not interfere with business, and
if used understandingly sufices to keep

of stiff riding. Cyclist.

She Must Bide ED glands Pleasure In MOSS
HumiIiating Fashion.
The people of Canada are finding to
heir cost what an anomalous position
hey occupy among the nations of the
earth when it comes to looking to Great
Britain to press their claims upon
foreign powers with which she dare not
or prefers not to quarrel, says a Quebec
special. In the dominion parliament
last week the circumstances under
which Canadian ships were seized by
Russian war vessels in 1892 were
brought again up by one of the OPP
position leaders, Mr.. Davies, to the at
tention of the government. The ves-
sells were the Carmelite and Willie Nc
Gowan, which were seized on the high
seas and confscated, the crews being
taken to the nearest Russian ports,
treated with great inhumanity, and left
to shift for themselves. The value of
the two vessels and their cargoes was
$50 0OO
He quoted from the report Of the
Russian commissioners appointed to in
vestigate the seizures, which found that
the seizure of the Carmelite was legal,

Canada's claim in regard to that yes
sci was, he contended, a perfectly good
one The finding of the commissioners
in the case of the Willie MCGOWAN was
that the seizure was Illegal. The seiz-
ure of the Aerial was also pronounced
irregular, and the Russian government
declared it not indisposed to make
reparation for both vessels. The Cana
dian minister of justice, Sir Charles H.
Tupper, in reply, admitted that the
Canadian governments power was
limited. It was keeping the case and
all its material points fully before tho
British government, and he made the
further humiliating admission that

going out of Office, had assured him that
they were pushing Canada's claims as
far as possible, but the minister of JUS

was at his wits end to appreciate any

ment possessed for promoting greater

STREET FIGHT AND CROWD
Walter j. Mcdonald and Charles C.
johnson Come to Blows.

Walter j. Mcdonald and Charles G.
johnson Come to Blows.
A street fight occurred at 1.30 today
between Charles G. johnson and Walter
J. Mcdonald, at Fifth and Kansas ave-
nue., which drew two hundred specta-
tors but there were no policemen among
them.
The fight began at the Crawford fats,
where johnson says Mcdonald struck
him for not telling him something he
(McDonald) desired to know
johnson. whose real name is N. B.
Leroy, but who uses johnson as his
house. Walter Mcdonald is known in
connection with the Electric Belt Musi-
cal company.
johnson is a tremendously big man
and Mcdonald a very small one
and very pugnacious. Both came out
of the alley near the Office block
after leaving the Crawford fats on the
run, the big fellow ahead and the ban
tam jumping up to strike him. Each
time the little fellow struck he would
fall down and twice tumbled fat on his
back in a mud puddle, making a sad
looking spectacle.
The crowd cheered and guyed the
combatants, or rather the little fellow,
for the big Que refused to fight
Finally the crowd became SO dense
the big fellow managed to escape,
and as he disappeared he muttered
| did not want to hit him,
he's foolish. A pole fell on his
head. At this juncture a buggy drove
up, the S'bantam" dashed down East
Fifth and then two policemen appeared.
johnson afterwards swore out warrant
for McDonald's arrest on the charge of
assault and battery.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, Aug. 29-Yes-
terday the first practical application of
the electricity generated by the water
power of Niagara to industrial pursuits
was made when the first batch of aIu-
minum was turned out from the Pitts
burg Reduction company's new works
near here. A number of newspaper
men and others were present by
invitation to witness the process of the
electrolysis of the metal, souvenirs of
which were afterwards distributed
among the guests
The present capacity of the works is
about 5000 pounds of pure aluminium
day. This will be increased as rapidly
as more pots can be set in position, till a
capacity of 10000 pounds is reached,
The metal is worth in small quantities
fifty cents pound. The works will be
run day and night and seven days in
the week
