BATTLE WITH A WHALE.
Thrilling Struggle Between Crew and a
Marine Monster.

An interesting fight with whale took
place about two miles off the beach from
Amagansett, l.. /. One of the life-saving
crew sighted large fright whale. The
news was Immediately telephoned from sta
tion TO station. Everybody rushed to the
beach to witness the scene, and old whalers
rushed for their paraphernalla.
In less than 80 minutes IL boats were out,
headed by the old-time whaler, Captain
Joshua Edwards. In Il short time the party
was upon the whale, and lines were shot into
the barnacled flesh
No sooner had the lines been shot than one
boat was seen to fly into the air. All hands
went to the rescue of the unfortunate men at
once and succeeded in getting the dripping
whalers into the boats.
Again the whale was sighted two miles
further eastward, and another effort was
decided on. . Soon they were upon the
animal n second time. Again the line was
shot, and instantly another boat was re-
duced TO kindiing wood.
At this stage everyone on the beach became
terrified over the result. A consultation
was held among the whalers, and II was de-
cided to come ashore, on account of the
boats being oyercrowded.
Captain Edwards says the whale was as
large as the one caught here six years ago,
which realized for the men over $4,000.

SUNsTROKE A POISON.
Blood Of Victims Injected Into Animals
Produces Convulsions and Death.

Another remarkable advance In medical in
vestigation has been made within the past
few days, and the cause Of sunArokc, sub
Iect until now obscure, has at length been
definitely discovered. TO the New YORK
state Pathological Institute, aided by the
Coroner's office, in New York, and the stars
of various hospitals, is due the credit for thiS
discovery.
These Investigations show that instead OF
the suns rays being the direct cause OF snn-
stroke, as has all along been believed by the
medical profession, rs well as by the people
Mt large, the fact Is that the internal chemis-
try Of the body and its secrctions is so modi-
fled by atmospheric condition OF excessive
hot weather that some Of these secretions be-
come abnormal, either In quality or quantity,
are absorbed by the blood and act as yirulent
poisons.
One Of the set Of experiments, the most In
tor sting and most decisive Of the lot, was
the injection OF the blood OF living cases just
after they had been stricken by the sun.
-Four animals received the injection through
the ear vein. They all showed uniform re-
suits. In 10 minutes after the injection the
temperature rose from two to three degrees,
and within As minutes to one hour and n
half, the animals had severe convulsions. In
the majority of cases one couvulsion was
sufficient 20 produce death. The poison was
intense and acted promptly; There was no
mistaking the fact that II was deadly.

SECRETS OF THE MOUND.
Explorers Have Found Over 2l0 Specimens
at MoKees Rocks,

very Interesting discovery has just been
made by the workmen at tho McKees Rocks,
Pa, mound, which will convince even the
most skeptical of the great antiquity of the
mound, and the burials therein Tho bones
of n skeleton were found directly under the
huge oak tree on the northeastern side ot the
mound. imbedded amid the large roots.
The body was buried In sitting posture
and surrounded with many large ilnt stones,
forming n cist. The great weight OF the tree
had pressed the body down compactly, and
the bones were found in very small space.
The large roots, which had TO be entirely cut
AWAY before the bones could be secured, had
also pressed the stones out OF their original
position
The tree was cut down, when work on the
mound commenced. IL stood over 100 feet
high, and was 81 feet In diameter and III
feet In circumference. The tree has l6S tree
growth marks, indicating II to be at least
that many years old. How long the skeleton
was buried there before tho tree sprung up
there Is no means of knowing. Only the
femur, pelvic and other large bones remain
ed. and they are very soft and brittle. MIR.

Tho mystery OF the missing military pass

road authorities became alarmed and u 0
military authorities were notified. Apparent
ly, however, the latter were very slow in
taking action in the matter. In any case,
throughout Monday the military authorities
professcd absolute ignorance of the
whereabouts Of the train, although IL was
understood that some description had been
sent along the line, but without any definite
result. This failure TO obtain the necessary
information caused the railroad people TO
renew their representations TO military
headquarters, and, eventually on Tuesday
several exploring parties were sent out to
search for the train. Two OF these parties
consisting Of cavalry scouts. reported hav-
ing heard heavy firing between Bacunagua

ATTACKED AN ITALIAN PRINCE.
The Nephew of King Humbcrt Assaulted
at Valparaiso.

News Of an attack In the streets OF VAL
paraiso on July 1G by Chilean mob upon
Prince Louis, of Savoy, nephew of King
Humbert, OF Italy, and party Of officers
and some OF the crew Of the Italian warship
Christopher Colombo, was received by the
steamer City OF Para. The object OF the
visit to Chile was to assure that country that
Italy has none but the best feelings for the
Southern republic, as much bitterness OF
feeling has existed In Chile since Italy sold
the Argentine republic two cruisers.
A party from the Christopher Colombo
landed at the Valparaiso pier and proceeded
up town. The Priuce and several lieutenant
were In the lead. A crowd of Chileans fol-
lowed the mnn-of-war's men, occasionally
jeering the sailors. AS the party advanced
the crowd grew bolder and in short time
stones commenced TO fly. For safety's sake
the Prince was hurried out Of harms way.
The seamen did not fare so well. Several
were struck with stones and knocked down
with clubs. They fought back, pulled their
knives, and held the mob at bay until body
OF police came charging down the street.
The Chilean authorities lost no time in hur-
rying an apology TO Prince Louis.

EXPORTS STILL INCREASING.
Business Checked by the Difficulty of OBJ

II. @. Dun & Co.say in their weekly review
Of trade: Failures for the week have been
$50 in the United States, against 222 last year
and 27 In Canada against AZ last year. Po-
litical events OF the week had no definite In
fluence upon business prospects, for the phe-
nomenal variations In sterling exchange and
The beginning OF imports OF gold, although
following the great meeting In Madison
Square Garden on Tuesday, may be fairly
attributed to the accommodating excess OF
merchandise exports over imports, exports
from New York for the past week having
seen 20 per sent larger and imports here II
per cent smaller than last year. The rapid
movement OF grain and the unusually early
marketing OF cotton tend strongly TO aid the
banking syndicatewhich has undertaken to
regulate foreign exchanges.
Withdrawals OF money to the interior are
rather large, and commercial loans are hard
to place. and this difficulty checks many new
enterprises and business In many depart
ments. Railroad earnings are not as good
as might be expected for the first half Of
August, exceeding those OF last year by only
81 per cent. Leather Is weaker, with n
small demand. although restricted supplies
have cnuscd shade OF advance In some
kinds. Hides at Chicago averaged more
than per cent. lower for the week again,
the fall In the past five weeks having aver
aged about 20 per cent. The iron and steel
manufacturer has only continued depression
to report, and Bessemer pig has sold at
5000 at Plttsburg, while Southern No. Is
offered at prices equivalent to Si0 at New
York, and nearly all finished products are
being sold below the current quotations.
There Is rapid curtailment of production,
but In spite OF this the supply OF finished
products appears TO greatly exceed the de-
mand for them. The one bright spot is a
sale OF 5000 tons steel rails TO Japan, for re-
lifting railways in that country which makes
nn aggregate Of $4,000 tons exported during
the year Nothing encouraging can yet be
said regarding the wooden manufacture, and
the demand for goods. even Mt recent re-
ductions in prices, is still disappointingly
