A. Shotgun Fired I'm the Police
Station BY Accident.

Patrolmau Long is recovering from a
fright at the police station that he will
remember as long as he lives
He was standing behind the jailer's
desk at the police station just after he
had gone off duty. and was examining a
winchester shot gun which stood in the
corner He pressed the trigger and
the gun went off with crash that
made all the prisoners think they were
being blown up by dynamite. The
room was filed with flying plaster
and smoke and Patrol Driver Bundy fell
out of his bed in the room just above
where Long stood and came rushing
down stairs to inquire whether the sta
ton were falling down.
Long stood behind the desk. He was
rubbing the plaster from his eyes and
suffering. 81 didn't know that gun was
loaded" he faltered. "As long as live
l will never in my life fool with another
harmless gun"
The charge of shot had struck the
chimney over Longs head and glanced
off tearing off a large patch of plastering
near the ceiling.

Murdered BY Tramps.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, June 2O.-This
morning John Paul and Jacob
Hayes, Of Wyoming, Mimi, were
murdered by unknown tramps, who
also seriously injured DIR. Foster,
OF st. Paul. DR.. Foster wanted to
be driven across to Wyoming Mills
and Paul and Hayes were getting
a team ready for him when three
tramps appeared and ordered them
all to hold up their hands. DIR.
Foster showed fight and Paul and
Hayes promptly came to his relief.
The tramps fired one volley, Hayes
and Paul both falling dead. After
pounding Foster about, the head
the murderers escaped and officers
are now hunting for them. DR..
Foster has been brought to the

Coaching the Yale Boat Grew

Observation-Disclosures, Eng, June
2O.-This morning was dull and
cloudy with sprinkles Of rain. The
boat crews were up early and
mustered at the boat house by 10
O'Clock, all in fine condition.
Trinity hall occupied the same
boat house as the Americans and
when the latter entered their shell
the English crew crowded near the
water in order to watch the start.
The bridge was lined with specta-
tors and many experts were
noticed timing the Yale men. They
pulled down the stream and turned
and went toward Temple Island.
Bob Cook coached them on horse
back and was accompanied by
Armstrong, who rode bicycle.
The start was made with twenty
four strokes which was increased
when nsaring the island. A strong
wind was blowing and the water
was rough. The crew then went
behind Temple Island were Cook
exercised them on fine points in
short stretches and the men re-
turned to the boathouse with
twenty-five strokes.

No Reciprocity in Theirs.

NEW YORK, June 20.-A dispatch
to the World from Buenos Ayres,
says: DR.. Romero, mioister of
finance, who bitterly opposes the
bill providing for the unification
Of the provisional debt, is using all
his influence with senators to bring
about an arrangement which will
allow the Intervention Of Ger
man syndicate interested in the
debt. 1t Is said that IL such an
arrangement could be made, the
syndicate would receive large COM
missions. The senate bill now be-
fore the congress provides for a
settlement with creditors in Great
Britain without any resource to
other foreign aid.
The opinion is strong here among
all those able to judge, that great
diminution in trade between the
United States and all South Amer
lean countries without exception,
will arise because of the planks Of
the platform adopted by the re-
publican national convention at
st. Louis, relative to reciprocity
and discrimination.
Reciprocity is the most objec-
tionable plank, as all affirm that
no South American republic will
ever again accept or even enter
tain the proposition.

CRETAN AFFAIRS.
THE SULTAN OF TURKEY BREAKS
HIS WORD.
A Patriotic Call on ALI Hellenism to Re-
sist the Sultan-The Powers Scorched
for Their stupidness in the
Matter.

NEW YoKK,June 20.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Athens, says:
In spite of Turkish assurance that
orders had been given to suspended
further movements OF troops for
Crete, two battalions passed for
ward to the island on Thursday.
This lack of faith has intensified
the bad impression already created
since the announcement OF the
sultan's trade. 1t has been 70 und
impossible here to restrain public
expressions of sympathy for the
Cretans. The majority favor In
PREVENTION by Greece In favor OF
the Cretans.
Palinski, the ministerial organ,
says: "The responsibility for
present events falls upon all
Europe. The audacious provoca-
ton given by the sultan will be
taken up by Crete and by HELEN
ism in general, and the struggle
will continue more terrible and
stronger than ever. All that this
country's force and energy can
command will be placed at the
service OF the Cretans, who know
how to chastise severely the abuse
and cruelties of the Turks. The
Greek nation will not abandon
Gambia to the violence of the Turk
ish sovereign, the half furious
mailman who six Christian powers
will permit to shed Christian
blood"
The Astoria says: "The opposi.
ton calls upon the government to
give up the case of the Cretans,
since the powers confine them
selves merely to futile representa-
tiyes and demonstrations"

Boosts the Associated Peess.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 2O.-The
Syracuse Herald says: The As
ISOLATED Press covered itself with
glory in It's record at st. Louis dur
ing the week. It's reports OF the
convention in all its detail were
superior beyond comparison to
that OF any other association, and
it sent its news in fine shape, this
facilitating greatly the handling
Of the mass of reports from the
convention city. The Associated
Press sent over its wire an average
of 5000 words a day on the con-
vention, since Monday, and our
readers will understand 1t could
have been no easy task to handle
and set this mass of material in the
few hours in which an afternoon
journal has for the mechanical
part of, its work. The Associated
Press assisted the editors and COM
positors greatly by its systematic
and clear cut style OF reporting and
transmission.

What the Colonial Office Says.

LONDON, June 20.-Inquiries
made at the Colonial office today
show that the secretary Of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber.
lain, has received no confirmation
OF the report from Caracas that a
sanguinary conflict has taken
place in the territory in dispute
between British Guiana and
Venezuela and the rumor is not
credited here. 1t is further stated
that no information has been re-
ceived from Caracas or George
town which would tend to alter
the statement made by the secre-
tary OF state for the colonies In
the house of commons yesterday,
namely that it was true that Vene-
zuelans had crossed the boundary
and had interfered with the Brit
ish officials who were engaged In
the work of surveying. But no
mention was made of a conflict OF
q sanguinary nature.
Mr.. Chamberlain was questioned
as to whether the Marquis OF Sails
bury still adheres to his determi-
nation not to submit tho British
claims to arbitration, whereupon
the colonial secretary referred his
cuestioner to the Marquis Of Sal
isbury,

The Evening Leader under the
caption ga Triumph" says:
"The Associated Press has again
demonstrated its superiority as a
news gathering and news distrio-
uting organization. Its report OF
the st. Louis proceedings was the
most complete in detail and
prompt in delivery OF anything OF
like character ever accomplished
in newspaper history.
"Never before has Connections
newspaper been able to print such
complete details of a great conven-
ton almost simultaneously with

Faster Time to the Pacific Coast.

OMAHA, Neb., June 90 The
Union Pacific fast train service
between Chicago and the Pacific
coast via the Northwestern and
Southern Pacific has been in opera
tion six months, and measures are
being discussed for reducing the
time several hours more. During
this time some competitors have
withdrawn their fast trains, but
the overland limited has been so
patronized until now its business
Is on such q certain basis as to
warrant the Union Pacific officials
in retaining the fast service as
fixture. In reducing the train
service several hours less than was
contemplated, the overland limit
ed has secured a number OF new
cars prepared especially for that
service, including the buffet,
smoking and library cars. The
officers are confident they can still
further reduce the time from Chi.
cago to San Francisco several
hours.

sages has subsidized In the least.
In the very first batch which
reached the governors hands was
an autograph letter from ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, which read:
MY DEAR GovERNoR-1 beg TO
extend to you my hearty congratu-
lations upon your nomination and
to express my confidence that the
people in November will ratify the
work of the st. Louis convention.
Please present my respects to Mrs.
Mckinley. Very truly yours.
BENZ. HARRISON.
The earliest delegation to arrive
this morning was a special train
load CT distinguished New Workers
from st. Louis, with whom came
Abner Mckinley, Of New York, a
brother of the republican presiden.
tial nominee. The delegation was
headed by Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss,
president of the American Protec-
tive Tariff league; General Horace
Porter, president Of the Union
league; Gen. Arson McCook, OF
New York, and Gen. E. H. T. Col
lis, commissioner of public works,
of New York.
Cornelius N. Bliss said to an
Associated Press representative
that New York would undoubtedly
be solid and enthusiastic for Nc
Kinley, although 1t is certain none
of the candidates mentioned for
vice-president in the Empire state
could possibly have carried the
united party in all its strength.
A gentleman near by referred Bliss
to Milholland's address In present.
ing Warner Miller to gathering
in front of McKinley's home last
night, and speaking of him as the
next governor of New York. Mr..

HELLO! HELLO
A Soldier s Fortune.

NEW YORK, June 20.-The
Morning Advertiser says: After
fourteen years of faithful work rs
an enlisted man in the United
States army, Sergeant E. Hogan, Of
Company F, First artillery, has
come into a fortune OF 100000 and
now thinks Of leaving the service.
Sergeant Hogan is stationed at
Fort Wadsworth.
A "personap asked as to the
whereabouts of "John E. Hogan,
formerly of Dallas, Texas" He
responded in person and at a hotel
found q lawyer from the west who
informed him that land In Texas
to the value of about 100000 was
waiting to be divided between him
and his sister.
Hogan remembered that years
ago, his father had some land near
Dallas, which had been squatted
upon and the title to which was
in litigation. His father died and
he had not heard from his family
in years. 1t seems that the title
to the land, after suits leading up
to the Supreme court, had been de.
cided in favor of the Hogans. Capt
Hubbell, who commands company
F, said: "Well 1t is good luck
for Hogan but had luck for
me. He gets 5000, 900 while / lose
a splendid first sergeant"
