HOSTILE TO AMERICA.
Canadian and Australian Trades
Delegates Make Startling
Statements.

London. June 1O.-The greatest inter-
est in the congress of chambers of COM
merce of the British empire is caused by
the attitude of hostility toward the Unit
ed States assumed by the Canadian and
Australian delegates. This eliminated
in an outra geous attack made by Castell
Hopkins of Toronto, delegate from the
Canadian Manufacturers association,
who, springing to his feet and wildly
waving his arms, vociferously and eX-
citedly declared that perhaps not the edu-
Gated and travelled Americans, but GER
tainly the larger body of the people de-
sired earnestly war with England.
Thus any hope of commercial reciproci-
ty is, he said, hopeless fallacy. He
was proceeding further with his virulent
abuse of Americans, amid frantic cheers
from the Canadians and Australians,
and equally frantic hooting and kissing
Of the English delegates, when the presi-
dent, Sir A. Rollitt, peremptorily called
him to order.
Mr. Stiebel German manufacturer of
Nottingham also made an impassioned
attack upon what he termed 'the Ameri-
can cut-throat policy" declaring himself
in this respect better Englishman than
those present.

Il do not generalize. Whatever opin-
ion I might have of women, [ should not

''You understand how to pay compli-

He made no reply, but gazed at her
with so earnest look, expressive of
such unconscious admiration and wor-
ship that she flushed, and with nervous
futter of her fan arose. Bergman rose
Also bowed and made a movement to

She held out her finger tips, which
he pressed so warmly that she hastily
withdrew her hand. Going to one of
the three large windows in the draw
ing room she opened it, and stepped
which on the second story extended
along the whole front of the CASTLE
Leaning against the balustrade, both
silently watched for moment the
scene before them. The July night was
warm, and the air was stirless. Not a
cloud appeared on the blackish blue sky,
the stars were sparkling brightly, and
among them, almost at the zenith, sailed
the full moon. At their feet lay the
park, from which rose faint odors of
unknown wild flowers and the more
pungent fragrance of dewy grass and
LEAKAGE. Directly in front of the build
ing extended a lawn, with beds of flow
ers, on which the moonlight poured a
sort of flmy, glimmering mist, which
gave the green grass and the bright
hues of the flower beds light, silvery
veil. Beyond the lawn, on all sides,
lowered the trees of the park, inter-
sected by broad paths, through which
the moonbeams flowed like a cleaning
white stream between steep black
banks. At the end OF the central ave.
nue. appeared the Main, flowing in a
broad, calm stream, with here and there
Il noisy, troubled spot in the midst of its
peacefully gliding waves, where rock
or sandbar interrupted the mirror-like
expanse, and caused rushing, foam
sprinkled whirlpool. Beyond the river,
amid the light, floating night mists were
dimly seen the houses of a little vii
lage, in whose window panes a moon
beam often flashed, and at the left of
the park rose the indistinct mass of the
city of Marktbreit, whose steep, narrow
streets were filled with shadows, while
above the steeples and higher roofs the
moon-rays rinpled, bringing them out in
bright relief against the dark picture.

FLOODS IN MINNESOTA.
Several Lives Lost in Cloudbursts
Hundreds of Cattle Are
Drowned.

st. Paul, Mimi, June S-The great
storm which swept over Southwestern
Minnesota Saturday night resulted in
the loss of several lives, the drowning
of many hundreds of sheep, cattle and
hogs, and did damage to property TO the
extent of over 100000.
Among those who lost their lives are
]. w. Catterson of Ash Greek, e. w.
Hunter. Adrian; George Andrews of
Sabula and III. T. Bulod of Murray
county. All of these were drowned dur
ing cloudbursts, two of these having
struck that section between and II
p. m.
The greatest damage was in Rock
county, the most southwestern county of
the state The rain fell in such torrents
that the Rock river overfOwed its banks
and drowned livestock by the hundreds
before they could get to the high ground.
In the region of Luverne the river was
in places three miles wide The water
rushed into Luverne at such a rate that
business houses were flooded many feet
deep and their contents ruined. To add
to the horrors of the situation calls for
help were heard at midnight from all
along the river. A rescuing party was
organized and set afoat but the swift
current upset it and the party narrowly
escaped with their lives. A second party
about twenty people rescued. 1t is not
yet known whether any body was drowned
at Luverne. Many of those taken off
were found on housetops and in trees.
Thousa ids of acres of crops were
washed out and entirely destroyed.
Many Luverne buildings were shattered
by lightning and hundreds Of feet of the
Burlington and the Omaha tracks were
washed away at Adrian, Worthington,
Hastings, Bird Island and Tracy.
At Vigil S. d., warehouse contain
ing several thousand bushels of grain
was blown down, together with the De-
lay house and other buildings. Ten
thousand acres of grain were destroyed
in South Dakota.
The storm damage in this city Satur-
day night was severe, the city railway
being the principal sufferer. About one
mile of the interurban line between the
two cities were so badly damaged as
entirely to stop street railway business
until Sunday. Poles and wires were
blown down and knocked out by the
electricity causing the blockade. For
seven blocks all the wires and iron poles
were completely destroyed by bolt of
lightning, the accident being most pc
culiar.

HESING WILL BOLT.
If Democrats Declare for Free
Silver He will Vote for
Mai. Mckinley.

Chicago, Ill.,. June 11.-Postmaster
Washington Hesing and the Chicago
Staats-Zeitung will belt the Democratic
party if it declares for free silver. They
will support the Republican nominee for
President if platform and candidate de-
clare for sound money.
Mr.. Heslng holds that the financial
question is the overshadowing issue of
the campaign, and he will sacrifice every
thing in the interest of sound money.
He believes the Democratic national con-
VentiOn will declare for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at 16 to l, and
he is ready to vote and work for Maj.
Mckinley as the unequivOcal champion
of the gold standard.
Mr.. Hesing believes the Democratic
party is going to commit suicide. He
says it will not carry Northern state if
the Republican party takes a bold stand
for an honest currency. The Germans
are likely to cast 100000 votes, and he
predicts that % per cent. will be for
q sound money candidate. He says the
German vote holds the balance of power
in the states Of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa and Wisconsin, and can be won
almost solidly for the Republican nomi-
honest dollar. If the Republican party
should try to straddle on the financial
issue Mr. Hesing will join the German
American Sound Money league, which
threatens to organize an independent par
ty.
Il will never in the world support
Democratic candidate for President on
free silver PLATFORM declared Mr.. He's
ing yesterday.
will you vote for Maj Mckinley if
he is nominated by the Republicans?''
Yes. if the Republican platform de-
clares for sound money and Maj. McINin-
ley makes declaration that will
leave no doubt he is for an honest cur
rency."
'"Then you will leave the Democratic
party?"
Il do not consider myself as leaving
the Democratic party. l think the party
is leaving me- | was attracted to the
party because it stood for honest money,
revenue reform and personal liberty. If
one of the cardinal principles that drew
me to the party is taken away the party
will have abandoned me and not | the
party. It isn't the Democratic party. 1t
is the Populist party. It is misnomer
to call a silver organization a Democrat

YOU are the two most interesting people

to address a few kindly words to the
architect of the castle, who was sur
rounded by numerous group.
Bergman stood before Mrs. Burgess,
gazing at her gravely and intently. The
more at ease of the two, she sat down
on a sofa, and with a gesture of the
hand invited him to take the armenian
in front of it.
ssFrau Won Jagerfeld has talked of you
a great deal, and very enthusiastically, :
she said, in q musical, somewhat deep,
resonant voice, which thrilled his every
nerve like the sound of bells, and as he
bowed, she added smiling mischievous-
ly: "And of me to you; watched you

ly interrupted. "You are a physician,

''Why?"
Eyes, why? l like them because they
are usually earnest, talented men, who
have experienced much, know much, and
from whom new and remarkable things
can always be learned. fear them
because they have no illusions"
perhaps that is not always correct. +
ooh, pardon me; how is a physician
to preserve any illusions, when he knows
human beings thoroughly, sees that an
emotion depends upon the nerve of a
tooth, a mood upon the degree of moist
ure contained in the air, and a character
upon the healthy or diseased stomach.
You leave your illusions upon your dis
secting tables"

''What you call illusions are ideal i'm
ages and aspirations, which originate in

airy and more deeply rooted, thought

countless generations that have preceded

nounced that the engag,

against his fathers expressed wish and
without his consent.
Miss Grace Wilson, the future Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., has been in So
ciety several years, and it is understood
that the main objection to her being mar
ried to young Vanderbilt, on the part of
his family, is the difference of their
ages, Miss Wilson being nearly eight
years the senior of her fance, and the
been for their son not to marry SO young.

His attachment for Miss Wilson is a

lovers. 1t is said that Mr.. Vanderbilt's

Asked to give his reason for having
his funeral sermon preached before his
death, he said: Il am not having this
done to be queer, or for notoriety. The
Bible says that the days of man are
three score and ten years. I have al

A WOMAN IS HANGED.
Mrs. Dyer, Proprietor of a Baby
Farm Near London, Dies on
the Scaffold.

London, June 10.-Mrs. Annie Dyer,
the baby farmer of Rudbig, who was
arrested on April 8 on the charge of
numbering many infants entrusted to her
care, was hanged in Newgate prison at
9 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Dyer was one of the most ex-
traOrdinary criminals of the age-a
wholesale, cold-blooded murderess. The
police first became suspicious of her and
her son-in-law, Arthur e. Palmer, early
in April when the bodies of number
of children, apparently strangled to
death were recovered from the river
weighted down with bricks, etc. An
investigation resulted in the arrest of
Mrs. Dyer.
Letters found in her house showed
th@t many of the parents with whom
she and her accomplice had dealings
were aware of the fate intended for
the infants. These letters We're from
persons in all ranks of society. The
preliminary examination developed
most horrifying condition of affairs. 1t
was proved that since Christmas at
least twenty children had been entrust-
ed to Mrs. Dyer's keeping, and of this
number only. four were then living. In
addition, prior to Christmas, many other
children that had been placed in the
and are admitted to have been murdered.
A conservative estimate places the num-
Der of children killed at forty, but other
estimates have it that as many as 100
infants were either strangled or drowned
by Mrs. Dyer.
Mrs. Dyer and her son-in-law lived in
Reading, where they had a great reputa-
ton for piety Over the door of her
home was a figure of Jesus Christ, be-
meath which was the inscription: "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not, for of such is the king
dom of heaven"
Mrs. Dyer had been arrested upon four
previous occasions but somehow she not
only managed to escape punishment but
succeeded in maintaining her reputa-
ton for piety. But in court the woman's
nerve deserted her and during her sub
sequent incarceration in prison she made
several attempts at suicide.

More of "the wilson luck

His children have all married most
fortunately, and ''the Wilson luck" has
been sort of byword in society. His
oldest daughter, Miss May Wilson, was
married about twenty years ago to Og-
den Goelet, whose fortune then was only
prospective. The next marriage of note
in the family took place twelve years
ago, when Mr.. Wilson's oldest son, Orme
Wilson, married Miss Caroline Astor,
youngest daughter of Mrs. William As
tor. A few years later Miss Belle Will
son became the wife of Michael Henry
Herbert son of Lady Herbert of Lea, at
that time second secretary Of the British
legation in Washington. Mr.. Herbert S
brother succeeded to the title of the Earl
of Pembroke. Mr.. Wilson's youngest
son, r. T. Wilson, Jr., is unmarried.
Miss Grace Wilson was engaged to be
married to the Hon. Cecil Barring, Lord
Revelstoke's son, about four years ago.
This engagement was broken just before
the Barring crash.

unbOunded gratitude. Bergman was
handsome man, still under 3d. whose
grave manner made him appear some>
what older. A thoughtful brow, an alb
solutely straight nose, large grey eyes,
which on first meeting them looked cold
and penetrating, lips somewhat large,
yet well modelled, dark beard, and a
luXuriant head of hair which was per-
mitted to wave, stand up, or lie fiat
at will, were the individual features
which collectively formed remarkably
interesting head. His manner showed
timidity, and vigorous self-reliance 1t
was evident that he was unaccustomed
to the drawing-room and large com>
panies, and felt at ease only beside a
sick-bed. He was rather awkward in
aimless chatter, but, on the other hand,
firm and clear in professional CONVERSE
ton. A mere boy in the presence of a
talkative, pretty girl, but a hero and a
conquerOr when with a suffering, anxious
human being, beseeching his aid His
lefthand neighbor, the wife of a Frank
fort banker who chatted rapidly about
the architecture of the dining hall and
the Wagner performances at Bayreuth,
received monosyliabic, hesitating replies,
while he talked elOQuently and animated
ly to the lady on his right, the hostess,
upon the influence of modern nervousness
upon social forms.
He paid little heed to the guests, and
had only glanced at them carelessly two
or three times, bowling to acquaintances,
and hastily obtaining a general impress
sion of the strangers. At each of these
surveys his eyes had remained fixed upon
a lady who sat directly opposite to him,
and whose beauty was remarkable, pc
culiar and fascinating. SO far us her
figure could be seen, while seated, it APP
peared slight and delicate, without fra
gility, girlishly immature yet not lean in
form. The small head, supported by a
slender, snow-white neck, was marvel
of grace and elegance, instantly recalling
the bust of Clytia in the British mu-
scum. One involuntarily looked for
the sunfower from whose calyx it really
ought to bloom. The brow was narrow
and dazzling fair, the nose uncommonly
delicate, slightly arched at the root, with
mobile nostrils, so delicate that one
might believe them transparent; the
mouth not very small, but exquisitely
shaped, with thin lips, curying obstinate
Iy, which curled sometimes sternly, some
times scornfully, sometimes bitterly, but
could also smile with infinite sweetness
and charm; the chin round and statu-
