MR.. SHERMAN BETTER.
He Returns from AmaEansett and
TaIks to a Reporter.

kaIks 10 n reporter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secretary sher-
man returned to the city this afternoon
from a brief rest OF two weeks at Anna
gansett. L. /. He appeared refreshed and
improved by his brief respite at the ocean.
His face is tanned and he says he feels
the absence of that lassitude and fatigue
which he felt while in the city. The secre-
tary will get promptly in the harness, and
said tonight that he expected 10 be at the
State Department tomorrow. Later in the
season, if he feels a change necessary, he
will take another brief vacation in the
mountains.
The secretary does not anticipate any
important developments in pending diplO-
matte questions while the President is
away on his vacation. Secretary Sherman
tonight denied the recent statement from
San Francisco that Minister SeWall had
instructions to establish a pro.ectOrate over
Hawaii in the event the Senate failed to
ratify the annexation treaty. When asked
what the minister's actions would be If
some overt act were committed by the Jap
anese, the secretary said in that event
Minister SewalI might raise the American
flag If he had special instructions to that
effect. AS to whether Mr.. Sewall has
such Instructions, Secretary Sherman did
not say.
Secretary Sherman said that the United
States would not guarantee the carrying
out of the terms of arbitration between Ha-
vail and Japan If the decision of the ar
bitrators were against the former. That
was a matter between the countries in in
terest. If the treaty of annexation is rat
fled before the arbitration is concluded
then the arbitration failed, the secretary
explained. He left the inference that the
matter of Japan's claims against Hawaii
might then be a special subject of legis-
lation by Congress.
Mr.. Secretary, you nave seen the reit-
Grated reports that you intend TO resign"
suggested the reporter.
Yes" replied Mr.. Sherman, Tm!lingly,
while at Amagansett l vas very lnLCn
resigned He intim Led that there was as
much ground for me present reports CT his
resignation as there HAD l,een Tor IlcN ious

Dawson City is nearly ten degrees further
to the south than the ancient Norwegian
town of Hammerfest, where men make shift
to live comfortably the year round. To be
sure there is no gulf stream to temper the
iron frosts of Klondike, and the average
winter cold is % degrees below zero; but
there are warm winds from the Pacific in
the summer that max the climate far
from forbidding. The average temperature
for the summer months is SO degrees. ana
the "a degree mark is by no means un-
known to the mercury. 1t is, of course, too
far north for wheat. but barley, oats ana
rye ripen freely, and ordinary vegetables
can be cultivated with success. A fair in
dex to the soil and climate is afforded by
the timber. The finest white spruce grows
abundantly in the Klondike region. The
trunks even attain a diameter of two feet
where the forest is not crowded. AS for
the danger of starvation, that should not
exist If the miners exercise common pru>
dence. The streams swarm with salmon.
and a few weeks of fishing in the fall should
provision the settlement securely.

L. us STEADY GROWTH.
Heavy Increase in Students Expected
This Year.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Aug. Cone of
the best evidences of returning prosperity
is the fact hat all indications point to a
decided increase in the attendance at the
Indiana University for the coming wear.
The students are largely sons and daueh-
ters of farmers and the statement that
every mail brings assurances of increased
numbers from the various parts of the
State shows that money matters are get
ting easier, and that renewed prosperity
is to come to the Indiana University. AL
ready a large number of prospective stu
dents have been here to engage houses for
the college year. These are married men
who will bring their families, and the scar
city of houses for rent makes it necessary
for arrangements to be made early. Never
in the history of Bloomington has there
been such a demand for houses as at pres
ent. This, too, in the face of the fact that
there are more new houses in course of
erection than ever before. Ten years ago
bloomington was a town of four Thousand
people and to-day there are nine thousand.
This growth has not been a boom, but a
steady, substantial increase with every
FOR rent are few, there is an abundance
OF single rooms, so that students who de-
sire accommodations of that kind will nave
no trouble IN securing quarters. 1t is est
mated that two thousand students could be
thus provided for without Inconvenience.
The summer school just closed showed a
decided increase over last year. There was
an enrolment of two hundred and fifty
two, which is almost equal to the number
OF students for the entire year ten years
ago, a statement which shows the univer-
sity's remarkable growth during recent
years. In 1884 there were IA students here.
This number graduaIIy increased under
the administration of Presidents Jordan
and Coulter. and in 1898. when President
Swain entered on his duties, there were
5!2, Under President SWANS administra-
ton the attendance anu number of grad
yates have been as follows:

GpTcia Not in Africn.

MADRID, Aug. 6.-The premier, Senior
Canovas del Castillo, has received a dis
patch announcing that 1.-THE Cuban chief
Garcia and another Cuban" had escaped
from the fortress at the Spanish PENAL set
tlement of the Chaffarine islands, off the
coast of Morocco. 1t is believed the es-
capped prisoners have reached the coast of
Africa.
1t would appear that there is some mis-
take in the information sent to the Spanish
premier. Maj. Gen. Calixto Garcia, the
famous insurgent leader of Cuba, who
would seem to be- referred to in the above
dispatch, is not known to have been cap
tured by the Spaniards. much less sent to
the Chaffarine islands. A letter from Gar
cla was received at the Cuban headquarters
IN New York last month. dated from a
CUBAN stronghold, giving a full statement
or the situation of affairs in Cuba.

IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAYOR.
Russell Harrison Unable to Collect n
Street-L;ghting Bill.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 6.--Mayor
Ross has declined to sign an order for the
payment Of s., 1893 to Russell Harrison's COM
pany for street lighting for July. Mayor
Ross says that the company owes the city
A,949 back taxes and $S,415 for street i'm
provement assessments. He says that the
amount of the lighting bill should be de-
Quoted from the amount owing the city
for taxes. He also claims that this spring
Harrison transferred the good will, fran
chise, etc, of the lighting company to his
street-railway company, with which it was
connected, and that there is now no such
company as the Citizens Lighting Com
pany, to which the order for street lighting
was made out. This in itself, he says,
would make the payment illegal. Russell
Harrison is president OF both companies.
He claims that the law passed at the last
session Of the Legislature entities him to
the privileges of the Barrett law in making
ten annual payments on street improve
mentS for all that is due from the street
railway company, and that by reason of
that law he wants the city to refund what
he has paid for the Main-street pavement.

MOB AFTER WALSTEIN.
Ia Preacher who Shot Baby Standi-
ford FIees to Illinois.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. GA special to
the Commercial Tribune from Washington,
Ind, says: The shooting of the three-year-
old Mamie Stamford by Rev. John Wal
stein at Concord Church is still widely dis
cussed. The report that the little girl had
died is erroneous. She is still alive, but in
a critical condition. Walstein's where
abouts is still unknown. Early this morn
ing It was reported that Walstcin had gone
TO Elnora. The report was true, but where
ne went from there is unknown. A crowd
OF nifty men drove to Elnora, woke up the
saloon Keeper and purchased whisky to
liven up the crowd and swore Walstein
would be lynched if he was found. But,
lucky for him, he was not found. 1t is
thought he has gone to Illinois to wait for
the sentiment against him to die out, when
he will return to his church. Since the
father of the victim refuses to make an at
hdaVit against Walstein, it is likely that he
viii never be tried for the Shooting.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind. Aug. 6.-Operations

of what appears to be sure territory mark.

Manhattan Oil Company would advance the
