BEATS HER OWN RECORD.
ST. Louis Cuts Down Her Running
Time Nearly Two Hours
A Wreck Sighted.

New York, Aug 3.-The American line
steamer ST. Louis, Capt. Randle from
Southampton, arrived at Sandy Hook bar
at ESQ this morning, having made the
run from the Needles in 6 days II hours
and 20 minutes. The best previous record
of the St. Louis was made On her last
trip, and was 6 days IS hours and Il
ninutes. she has therefore, on her pres
ent trip reduced her record by 1 hour and
p minutes. The days runs We're 44S,
ATS, 475, 465, 464, 457 and 2G1 knots to
the lightship-total distance 3046 knots
at an average speed of 1889 knots per
hour. The average speed made by, the
st. Louis in her previous voyage from
Southampton was 1917 knots. but she
covered a distance of 1921 knots. Had
she made the same speed average on this
trip her time would have been Is days 10
hours.
On August ?, at 1885 p. M, fifty miles
vest of Nantucket, the st. Louis passed
an apparently disabled steamer with
black funnel, barkentine rugged. She
showed no SIGNALS recurring assistance.

TREATY WITH FRANCE.
Effort to Establish an Arbitration
System for Settlement
of Claims.

Washington, D. c., Aug 5-The state
department has been notified by Ambas-
sadOr Eustis of the action taken by the
French Chamber of Deputies looking to
the arrangement of a treaty between
the United States and France by the
terms of which any difference that may
hereafter arise between the two cOun-
tries will be adjusted by arbitration.
The ambassador reports that Il resolu-
ton to this end passed the chamber by
a unanimous vote. 1t does not appear
that this fact was officially communi-
Gated to Mr.. Eustis, and as, by the terms
of the resolution, the French govern
ment was invited to negotiate for such
a treaty, it is probable that the first Off
cial notice that our government will re-
ceiye of the intention of the French gov
ernment will be a proposal to open nego-
tiations to see if common ground Gan
not be found. This proposition may be
made to our state department through
Ambassador Patenotre. At the state de-
partment it is thought the subject prom
Uses to be extremely difficult of adjust
ment, owing to the see ming impossibility
of reconciling the CLAIMS of the United
States under the Monroe doctrine with
the French view

4 USELESS SACRIFICE.
Only Way Marines Gould Go to
Chinese Missions Would
be in launches

Washington. .. c., Aug. 5.-The
statement from United States Minister
DENLY and Consul General Jernigan that
no Americans were injured in the at
tack by the Chinese mob upon the mis-
slons at ku Cheng relieves our navy
department from the necessity of order
ing some of the American naval forces
to the scene of trouble, although this
incident will undoubtedly form the sub
Ject of another demand upon the Chin
csc government for reparatiOn and in
demnlty for the outrage upon the prop
erty rights Of the American mission
aries.
The nearest American naval vessel is
the Detroit, which arrived at Shanghai
Saturday, but she could not get within
hundreds of miles of ku Cheng and
the only manner in which her force
could operate would be by means of
armed launches. This is a most perilous
method Of campaigning under such con-
ditiOnS as exist in interior China and,
while Acting Secretary McAdoo is will
ing to give the order if requested to do
SO by the state department officials. ex-
perienced naval officers feel that it
would be q useless sacrifice of the lives
of our seamen, and they are glad to
know that the state department does
not regard such move as necessary at
present.
Shanghai Aug. 5.-At a crowded meet
ing of the European residents of this
city speeches condemning the action OF
the Chinese authorities in the case of the
Massachusetts missionaries at What Han
near ku Cheng on Thursday last were
made, and a resolution was adopted to
appeal directly to the European govern
ments aginst the outrage. The resolution
also referred TO the inadequate manner
in which China has dealt with the per-
DetratOrs of former outrages.

RACE RIOTS CONTINUE.
Threats to Exterminate Every COL
Ored Resident of an H.
linOiS Town.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. "a special to the
Post from Spring Valley, ILL.,, says that
the foreigners, under the leadership of
the Italians and the negroes, who have
concentrated their forces at Seatonville,
are both organizing today, and as the
towns are practically under mob law, a
deadly conflict is anticipated. The nom
English-speaking miners of Spring Valley
to the number of 1000 held a mass meet
ing at the lumber yard near the Hock
Island depot today and passed a resolu
ton that no negroeS-men, women or i'll
valids-would be allowed to remain in
side the city limits after O'Clock to-
Morrow evening. Speeches Of the most
infammatory nature were made advocat-
ing the immediate opening up of hostll-
ties.
The negroes at Seatonville held a meet
ing at the Union church later and organ
lied themselves for active service. Blu
reau county has 300 repeating Winchester
rifles stored in the courthouse at Prince
ton for the protection of the citizens and
an effort will be made to secure these.
Should this fail the men will arm them
selves with shotguns and rifles and make
an effort to regain their homes and house
hold goods.
They also passed a resolution that
they would continue to work in the
Spring Valley mines until discharged by
the coal company.
In addition to the negroes reported
injured in yesterdays conflict, four 9th
ers are missing, as follows: Washington,
aged Al; Arch Fleming, 80 years; Sam
Johnson, 30 years; Lewis Martin, 80
years. OF these it is the opinion that
two at least are lying dead in the woods
surrounding the late negro colony, as
farmers report having seen their bodies.
Spring Valley. H., Aug. 5.-The "Lo-
cation" a patch of some hundred odd
company houses near No. 3 shaft nhab-
tied almost exclusively by negroes, was
Sunday morning visited by a vengeful
mob of 800 white miners from the city
and given a taste of mob violence. Sat
urday night near midnight five colored
men held up a white man named Barney
Role between this city and Location
aad. after robbing him of nearly 500 in
money, fired three pistol shots into him
and left him for dead Role is the third
man shot at Location" in the past few
weeks 1t was in vengeance of this that
the white miners attacked the negroes

seriously injured

AFTER MARSHALL'S PLACE.
Lively Scramble Likely for the Vaca MT
Circuit Judgeship.

Chippewa Falls, Aug. J.-There is like
II TO be an early scamper for the seat
on the circuit bench made vacant by
Judge Marshalls promotion. Since
Chippewa Falls has the justiceship and
congressman besides she will prob
ably not be in it in the fight Superior
will claim the place. Already half the
bar of Superior is in the field Among
those mentioned are Charles Smith, the
present Superior judge; Assemblyman II.
G. Sloan, recently appointed district at
torney to fill the vacancy caused by c..
j. Monson's death; l.. S. Butler, Frank
A. Ross. A. J. Vinge, ex-District Attor-
ney Champ, Green and Phil II. Perkins.
Should either Smith or Sloan be chosen
there would be another vacancy for the
governor to fill.
Should the Superior factions be I'M
able TO harmonic there are other candi-
dates. L. H. Mead, eX-assemblyman
and county judge of Shell Lake, will be
put forward by Washburn county. Then
P. Fl. Burdick of Osceola, who was chair
man of the Assembly judiciary commit
tee last winter, is prominently in the
field Should the fight get too warm,
Col. L. J. Rusk of Chippewa Falls
might be agreed upon as a good COM
promise.
Eau Claire, Wis, Aug. 5.-LSpecial]-
Judge Marshall is home. There is no
doubt that he will accept, though he
saws nothing.

WAS SHE G0ULD'S WIFE?
Woman Claims She Married Him
When He was Sur
Veyor'S Helper.

New York, Aug "a suit has been
brought against the estate of Jay Gould
by Mrs. John Angel on the claim that
she was his first and only legal wife.
1t is asserted they were married ia
Rouses Point n. Y, in 1903. She was
then Mary Brown. Gould was young
engineer, and Rev. DR.. Clayton per
formed the ceremony in the parlor of his
house. Gould at that time was em-
ployed to survey the Ogdensburg & Lake
Champlain railroad route. lie was then
IL years old. The girl was 10.
Rev. DR.. Clayton is alive today, says
Mr.. Angel, whom she subsequently mar
ried, and he is now living in Pennsylva-
MIA. Although he is an old man his
memory seems to be perfect, and he has
recalled many little incidents in cOnnec-
ton with this event. Just at present the
fate of the certificate is a mystery. Mrs.
Angel says it was destroyed. and this is
corroborated by her husband, although
he did not witness the alleged deStruc-
ton.
Mrs Angel admitted, it is said. during
the last week that after the departure of
Jay Gould from Rouse Point she made
no effort to communicate with him and
followed his career with but languid in
terest. The story goes on to say Mrs.
Angel has a daughter in the West, the
nrSI chllQ porn AFTER CQe1r ludFfldSo-
Mr. Gould says Mrs. Angel, left her
soon after the marriage and she never
saw or heard of him again.
Lawyers in the case say it was boy
ish freak. 1t was nearly ten years after
this that Gould married Miss Ellen
Miller, the mother of the Gould children.
The lawyers say he probably thought
Mary Brown was dead, and it is init
mated he changed his name from Jason
to jay to hide his identity.

SEAL FISHERIES SCANDAL.
Russian Officers Sent to Patrol
Behring Sea Slaughtered
the Animals.

London, Aug. 3.-An extraordinary
scandal has just come to light in connec-
ton with Russia and the Behring sea
patrol. About the middle of last winter
a firm of brokers in Hamburg received
5000 beautiful sealskins with instruc-
tons to forward them to London in time
for the big February sale, which occurs
here every year. 1t was noticed that the
packages did not bear the usual marks
or other indications of their having been
sent through the ordinary channels, and
what will also strike people as peculiar
was that one of the skins had a bullet
hole in it. 1t is now reported on good
authority that these skins were sent by
the officers of the Russian warship which
left Robins island last September and
it is presumed that the enterprise was
the private speculation of those who
were sent there to protect the seals. The
Russians were encamped on the island
for four or five months and, as is custom
airy, no one was allowed to land on the
island during their stay there. 1t is
presumed that the crew employed their
inc in clubbing these seals. The skins
ere sold at Lampson's big sale here last
