Canton. o., July 1.-Ex. Governor

to Ohio's favorite son upon this, the
occasion of the greatest triumph of his
life Governor Mckinley, in an able
speech, responded to Senator Thurston's S

Financial Panic at Georgetown.

Georgetown, British Guiana, June
29.-The financial crash which has
been expected since the boundary ques.
tion dropped down upon the colony on
top of the sugar depression, has come
with full force. The British Guiana
bank has been aided by the local gov.
ernment with 100000, as a guarantee
of the banks liabilities, hut still the
G5 currency notes are being sold in
many parts of the country for less than
"a.
A number of merchants are in trou-
BILE in consequence of the financial un.
rest. The incidental reason for the
crash was the disappearance of Hugh
Sproston, jr., probably the most IN.
portant man financially in the colony.
1t is said he committed suicide by
drowning, but it is also claimed he
has simply left the colony. A run on
the bank was started, and as the notes
OF the British Guiana and Colonial
banks constitute nearly the entire cur.
rency of the colony, the government
was obliged to guarantee the notes to
prevent ruin to many, as tradesmen
had begun to refuse the notes. 1t is
feared the lull which now exists will
be the forerunner of a greater storm.
However, as the men who have been
allowed to overdraw their account;
with the bank will be forced to either
pay up or sell out when the accounts
are Strengthened out, the opinion is
that there will be a great deal of sell.
ing out. No business is being done.

Death Caused by a Scorcher.

Chicago, June 30.-Three-year. .old
Ernest Schlickwein, the son of Franz
Schlickwein, German truck farmer,
living about four miles southeast of
Hinsdale, met his death in manner
hitherto unheard of. He was following
his mother along path beside the
roadway which fronts their home,
when they were passed by wheelman
riding at his best speed.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Schlickwein
missed her son. fastening back she
discovered him PROSTATE in the path,
while an ugly wound in his left temple
was bleeding profusely. A physician
was summoned, but the child died be-
fore he arrived. A jagged stone weigh
ing about four ounces, lying at the
point where he had fallen told the
story. 1t had been snapped from under
the wheel of the scorching bicyclist
with sufficient force to cause death.
The wheelman, who was of course en- :
tirely ignorant of the accident, passed
on, and no clew to his identity re-
mains. Mrs Schlickwein is prostrated
and may not recover.

THE ARREST OF Harrison
Our Friendly Offices Asked in
the Venezuela Matter.
BRITISH REQUEST OF oLNsy

The Arrest of Harrison Is Not Consid
cred Very Serious Matter Finsn-
ces at Georgetown-Busines Stoppsd
Washington, June 29.-Secretarv
Olney received calls today from Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British am.
bassador, and Minister Andrade, Of
Venezeula, with both of whom he con.
ferred separately concerning the arrest
by the Venezuela troops of British
Crown Surveyor Harrison, on the
Bitish- Venezuela boundary.
1t is understood that Sir Julian
acting under instructions from the
British foreign Office, requested the
friendly intervention of the United
States toward securing the release Of
Harrison, as was done by the British
authorities in behalf of the American.
John Hays Hammond. during the
Transvaal trouble.
Andrade was the first at the depart.
ment, calling before the usual hour
when diplomatic calls begin. He was
with Olney some time, going over,
quite fully, the circumstances of the
Harrison incident. The minister said
the affair had been magnified and was
lacking in circumstances of serious in.
dignity or wrong to the British. The
exact nature of the British request was
not made public, but its essential fea-
ture was the request for friendly in.
tervention by the United States. Ow-
ing to the British Venezuela trouble,
the British have no minister or consul
in Venezuela.
1t is believed that Olney has already
taken steps to communicate with the
Venezuela government through the me.
dium of the United States minister at
Caracas. Ordinarily the first step of
our secretary of state would be to seek
to ascertain for himself, through our
ministers, the exact facts, but in view
of the peculiar relations of the parties,
he might depart so far from ordinary
methods as to precede this, in the present
instance, with request that Harrison
be released and the status quo be thus
restored to what it was before the ar.
rest, it being understood meantime
that there should be no advance on
either side until the case can be settled
soberly on its merits. No official
knowledge of the arrest has been re-
ceived at the Venezuela legation.

shots were heard, and Vinette's horse
came back riderless. Took-a-F Fine. Gun

they had killed Vinette. Then, with
Mis-. Vinette, the trio rode away.
