PULLMAN COMPANY VAST DAMAGES

Milwaukee & St. paul.
Chicago, May 31.-The suit of the
Pullman Palace Car Company against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. PAU
railroad for 500, 900 came up before
Judge Seaman in the United States
court this morning.
In 1882 the two companies entered in
to q 15-year contract which the road
was privileged to end at the expiration
Of five, eight or eleven years. The rail
road furnished $500, 900 and the Pullman
company 100000 for the building and
equipment Of 10 parlOr and sleeping
cars to be run on the road. The Pull
man company was to take charge Of
the operation Of the cars and each year
render an accounting and make q di-
vision Of profits according to the inter
ests of each.
The contract provided that the rail-
road should pay the Pullman company
100000 and become sole owner of the
ears and the service. At the expira ton
Of eight years, in 1890 the railroad gave
notice to the Pullman company OF its
intention to buy out the latter. The
Pullman company claimed $105, 900 for
its fourth interest and the railroad in
dollars for damages to the cars This
was not allowed and now the Pullman
company Is suing for 100000 DANA ges.

TO MAKE GOOD FARMERS.

President Stickney, of the Maple Leaf, Fig
 uring on a Unique Project.
 SIOUX CITY, la, Aug. 17.-President Stickney, of the Chicago Great Western road, proposes to open number of preparatory agricultural academies in which the farmers boys may secure short courses of instruction in the com mon branches along lines which will inspire them with ambition to enter agricultural college. Even if the boys never get further than the preparatory school, they will be better farmers, he thinks, than if they had no training. He does not go into the undertaking as a charity, but on purely business prin- ciples. If the boys become better farmers, they will do more business, ship more products, have more money and buy more goods and will be corrc- spondingly useful to the road. The price of tuition will be small, but will be made sufficient to pay the expenses of the academies. The managers of the agricultural college encourage the plan, and the probabilities are that a start will be made in the course of another year.

Hurricanes and Floods Cause an Awful
 Loss of Life and Property.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-Advices have been received from the Orient to the effect that Japan was visited by a terrible storm on July 24 and 26. The hurricanes swept across Kiusba, passed along the shores of the island sea, crossed over the central districts of the main island and merged into the Pacific ocean. Its track was everywhere marked by great loss of life and destruction of property, and as the catastrophe was followed by heavy rainstorm, inunda. tions added their devastating efforts to the havoc wrought by the wind. II is calculated that over 1, 1000 people were killed or drowned. Ujina, the town that served as a military basis during the recent war, felt the full force oi the tempest. The place was completely swamped by the sea, and over 160 boats were smashed. Among these boats were 120 belonging to the army stores They were laden with supplies destined for the use of troops in the Lio Tung peninsula.

Secretary Morton Orders White Metal Giv-
 en to Men Who Favor Silver Coinage.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, - Secretary Morton, of the department of agricul- ture, gave what he regarded as an ob- ject lesson to the employees of his de- partment Thursday afternoon. He heard arguments by many of his sub ordinates in favor of silver. Thursday being the semi-monthly pay day, he or dered the paymaster of the depart ment to pay out Sl,oO0 in silver coin, this money weighing sixty pounds The silver coin was paid to all the em- ployes about the grounds of the agri- cultural department, to messengers and we'll known silverites in vari- ous positions in the department. Unless Mr. Morton receives a petition to the contrary, it is ex- pected that silver will be paid out again and again on pay day to the men who are known to favor it as currency. There was a good deal of kicking among the employees, and good many of them have indicated to the pay master that they want paper money on their next pay day.

Venezuelan Gunboat Bends the Sails of a
 British Vessel
 NEW YORK, Aug. l7.-Advices from Barbadoes, under date of July 20, stelte that breaches of international law, like tilibustering expeditions, seem to be on the increase in the Caribbean sea. The latest, as well as the one likely to attract considerable atten- tion, is the firing upon a British schoon- CT in British water by Venezuelan gunboat. The schooner Ellen, which is owned and sailed by Capt Truxillo, British citizen, and registered at Trinidad, passed under the muzzle of a Venezuelan gunboat and though the captain sent the British flag to his mig zenmast head, the Venezuelans simply ignored it and continued their firing, rending the sails of the British ves- sel in several places, and declined to cease firing until the British ves- sel had been hove to and allowed the Venezuelan cruiser to come alongside. Capt Truxillo reported as above to the harbor master at Port au Spain. He was asked to make a sworn declaration of the facts as stated, which he imme- diately did. The Trinidad govern ment has reported the matter to the colonial office in l. ondon and the out. come is anXiouSly awaited.

FAMOUS ARTIST KILLED.
Died In Heroic Effort to Save the Life
 of Little Girl.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16.-Thomas Hovenden, the famous artist, was killed by a Pennsylvania railroad freight train near Norristown Wednes- day evening. He met a hero's death trying to save the life of little girl The sacrifice of Mir. Hovenden's life was useless, because the child that he attempted to save also met her death beneath the wheels of the engine that ground out the life of the artist
 Thomas Hovenden was one of the leading artists that America has pro, duced. His best known painting, Breaking Home Ties" has been en. graved probably more than the work of any other American artist and is a familiar object on the walls of thou sands of homes in the United States. The painting was one of the most able of the groups at the worlds fair.
 A more recently painted picture of note was his Bringing Home the Bride," which was exhibited at the worlds fair and again in 1894 in the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia.

Dun & Co. Report the Shrinkage of Busi-
 ness in August Rather Conspicuous.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-R. G. Dunn & o., in their weekly review of trade, say: It is belated season; a frost may set everything back. The heavy busi- ness which ought to have been done in May and June was pushed in July, so that the midsummer decline due in July comes in August. With this in mind, one is not surprised to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usual. The disappointing crop reports of week ago, though evidently dis trusted, lessen confidence in regard to the future of trade, even while some speculators gain by them. Back of all doubts is the fact that the industries are doing better than anybody could have expected.
 Atlantic exports for the week have been ss0,3Ol bushels, against ?, ,749, ,535 bushels last year, flour included, and for three weeks, 2,552, ssO bushels, against 8,242, ,6S2 bushels last year. The official reports for July show exports of s,6ll,000 bushels, flour included, against 10, 500, 900 bushels last year, but the Pacific exports increased fve-fold, at an average of g cents per bushel while Atlantic exports at about 72 cents per bushel were but 6,O22, ,s63 bushels, flour included, against 10, ,265,. 500 last year.

 WASHINGTON, Aug 17-The office of minister to Mexico was practically de. clared vacant yesterday and Hon. Matt w. Ransom is no longer minis ter from the United States to our sis ter republic. The decision was ren- dered by Holmes Conrad, solicitor. general of the United States, and act ing encouragement Mir. Ransom's incumbency was declared to be con trary to the federal constitution and the acting attorney-general sustained the action of Thomas Holcomb, auditor of the treasury for the state depart ment, in declining to pass favorably upon Mir. Ransom's vouchers for salary and expenses.
 The decision of the acting attorney general was based on a question raised by Auditor Holcomb as to the legality of Mr. Ransom's appointment in view of the existence of section ?. article 6, of the constitution, which declares that no senator or representative, dur ing the time for which he is elected be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created, the emoluments whereof shall be increased during such time. This provision ap- parently fitted the case of Mir. Ran som, for he was nominated by Presi- dent Cleveland and confirmed by the senate before his term as senator had expired, aud during that term the salary of the Mexican mission had been increased S5.
