RATES ARE TOTTERING.
Returning Endeavor Business May
Precipitate a War

Chicago, July 14.-An open cut in the
eastbound Christian Endeavor rates is
one of the strong proba bilities. Cali
fornia lines have been officially notified
that one would be ordered if they do
not live up to the terms of the original
agreement regarding these rates. Ad
vices from San Francisco show that
they were about to set the agreement at
defiance in at least three vital particu-
lars.
They proposed to pay commissions on
business, they wanted to allow stop
overs in territory east of California and
they desire to increase the number of
dates of sales of tickets.
The executive committee of the West
ern Passenger association, after consid-
ering the matter, decided that was the
only effectual way of stopping democrat
ization arising from that source. So far
as the other two offenseS were concern
ed, the lines INDUCING in them were
notified that neither stop-overs east of
California nor extra dates for selling
tickets could be allowed, as a solemn
contract had been entered into with the
western lines.

MONOPOLY IN SCULPTURE.
Proposed Art Commission of theUnit-
ed States Arouses Great Opposition.

New York, July 14.-Every endeavor
has been made to keep from the public
the fact that a monopoly is sought to
be created in sculpture work in this city
with a view ultimately to controlling
the work throughout the United States.
The principal object just now is to OBJ
tain the passage of a law by congress
requiring the approval by commits
sioner of all art works purchased or
adopted by the United States govern
ment.
1t is to be known as the art Com
mission of the United States" with
power to appoint officers, juries and en-
ployes to carry out the plans of the
commission.
The bill provides that the art COM
mission shall pass on every work of art,
painting and sculpture, architecture,
landscape, etc, purchased, constructed
or ordered as gift to the government,
and all coins, seals, notes, medals,
stamps and bonds to be fabricated by it
and it shall arrange for the organiza-
ton of competitions.
President Fernando Miranda of the
American Sculpture society was seen
today al his studio. He said:
IF such a scheme be carried out it
means the death of American sculpture.
The people who institute any such I'M
dertaking intend to benefit themselves
only by creating a number of well pay
ing positions for themselves and their
friends, at the same time obtaining an
autocratic control, which may result in
their own immense benefit"

GREAT SHIP PROJECT.
Proposed Inland Harbor in the Heart
of the Calumet Region.


Chicago, July 14-Chicago and New
York capitalists have organized to con-
struct a great inland harbor in the
heart of the Calumet region, II miles
south of Chicago.
The expenditure of private capital will
be $4,000. 900. The harbor will be adapt
ed to the deepest draught navigation.
The enterprise will give employment to
1000 men.
Under the present plans work will be
formally begun in October. Completion
is expected within two or three years.
II is intended to deepen Wolf river,
Wolf lake, Lake George and the Calu-
met river and connect them by system
of canals.
The route agreed upon is from Lake
Michigan south and west via the Wolf
river one mile to Wolf lake, which is
two miles in length; thence south and
east one mile TO Lake George, the
length of which is one and One-half
miles; thence in an eastern direction
two miles to point east of East Chi
cago.
A canal from this point south to Cal
unet completes the proposed route. The
total length would be seven and one
half miles. The right of way has been
secured, surveys made and plats record
ed Swinging bridges will be built eX-
cept at the mouth of Wolf lake. The
width of the canal at the entrance to
Lake Michigan will be 600 feet.

YOUNCERS STAY.
Missouri Must Get Along With
out Her FavOrite Sons.
Minnesota Officials Prefer to
Take No Chances.
PRESSURE WAS GREAT
Senators and Congressman of
Missouri Pleaded for Pardon.
The Outlaws Must Serve Out
Their Terms.

st. Paul. Mimi, July 14.-After an ex-
tended hearing on the petition for the
pardon of Cole and Jim Younger, mem
bers of the Missouri outlaw band who
raided a bank at Northfeld, Mimi, in 1876
the state board of pardons, consisting of
the governor, attorney general, and chief
justice, refused to grant the required re-
lief by unanimous vote declaring their be-
lief that the Youngers should complete
their term of life Imprisonment.
Several previous attempts have been
made to secure pardons for the Youngers.
Governor Pillsbury refused to pardon
them sixteen years ago, and eight
years ago Governor Merriam followed the
same example, both declaring that they
believed the ends of justice would be bet
ter served by keeping the Youngers in
confinement.
TIL present attempt to secure the par
don of Cole and Jim has been notable for
the amount of pressure that has been
brought to bear on the board. Friends of
the Youngers were present with long Pc
titions signed by the senators and con-
greSSmen from Missouri and by leading
citizens of that state. Long arguments
were made in support of the application,
a petition from Cole Younger was read
and Warden Wolfer of the penitentiary,
appeared in person and asked for the par
don. On the other hand citizens of North
field and of that section of the state
where the raid occurred. were out in
force, with attorneys, and some of the
sufferers in the famous raid, and present.
ed strong arguments against the pardon.

POPE TO REVISE MUSIC.
Objects to Haydn, Mozart, Violins and
Female Voices.

London, July 1.-THE vatican has
called upon the French bishops to sup
ply informal ton as tC the different kinds
of ecclesiastical music in their dioceses
and the pope is preparing instructions
on the subject, with the intention of in
augurating certain reforms, including
the abolition of female voices at htur-
gical services.
While approving of instrumental mu-
sic, his holiness thinks it should be linn
tied to the use of the harp and the
gentler wind instruments, the violin be-
ing discarded as sensual and pro-
fame.
The music of Haydn and Mozart does
not meet with the epope's approval.

with an italian BARRIERS wife by Mrs
Westcott, who had been doing a thriv-
ing business with patients sent or
brought to her from Worcester or Bos-
ton, the dead infant belonging to a
city.
Mr.. Thurber kept his eye on the hos
pltal and obtained evidence that Mrs.
Westcott was unlawfully boarding an
infant named Harold Wilson.
Mrs Westcott was taken to Judge
JOhnson's office, pleaded not guilty and
gave 5000 bail for her appearance next
Friday, John S. P. Comstock becoming
her surety.

WHEELS IN HIS HEAD.
Bicycle Hating Dog Creates Reign
of Terror Among Canucks.

OF terror among Canucks.
New York. July 14.-Lodged in the
Pasteur institute are four men from
Canada, who were bitten by New
foundland dog with a violent prejudice
against bicycles. They were the ad-
vance guard of party of fourteen, who
all received their wounds on the same
day.
The men are Delbert Mayberry, aged
10, and George Spencer, aged AZ, of In
gersolI, Ont. and bitten respectively on
the right and left legs; James Mooney,
aged 10, of North Dorchester, Ont, and
John Merrill, aged 20, of Deerhan, Ont.
The first named has two wounds in his
left, and the second has decorations on
his right wrist and leg.
To whom the dog belonged, or whence
he came no one has yet discovered. All
that is known is that for nearly two
weeks he practically owned section
of the country covering fifty miles
square, and in that time carried on
completely successful crusade against
everyone who dared to ride a wheel.
In less than fifteen hours he had
scored fifteen victims. His plan of ac-
ton was to crouch in a hedge by the
road which he had reason to believe
would be used by bicyclists; he waited
until the tinkle of the bell warned him
of the approach of the enemy. Then
he crouched for spring, and as the
bicycle and it's rider came abreast of
him he dashed out, leaped on the BIZ
cycle, dug his teeth into that portion
of the anatomy which was most con-
venient, and then with triumphant
bark disappeared in the underbrush.
The sufferers told the story of their suf-
ferings to DR.. Labadi of the Pasteur in
stitute
Reports of the dogs depredations
were publicly known and searching
parties sought to kill 1t, and secured
the woods for fifty miles.
At last the dog was found in the
woods and shot

A NEW ILLUMINANr.
Nevada Find That Can be Used in
Stoves and Bicycle Lamps.

Carson, New, July 1.-THE town is
much excited over the discovery of a
new gas which is being tested at Evan
Williams residence. Wood is convert
ed into a kind of charcoal. Water is
dropped on this coal and then it is
lighted.
1t has been used in lamps and stoves
with success, and is also used in bicycle
lamps.
A piece of the substance as big as
pea will burn five hours, and cents
worth will last SO hours. The flame is
as bright as an electric light. but it is
soft and has no shadow. The gas is not
deadly and is non-explOsive. Evan Will
Jams says a plant for the manufacture
of the substance will soon be erected
and gas bicycle lamps will be placed on
the market.

CASTELLANE'S BIG YACHT.
Jay Gould's Noble Son-in-Law Has
Chartered the Valhalla.

New York, July 14.-The news comes
to New York from over the waters that
the Count de CaStellane has chartered
the big ship-rigged steam yacht Val
halla, owned by Joseph Frederic Lay
cock, one of London'S foremost bank
ers. The amount of money paid is not
mentioned, but it is said to be some
thing almost fabulous. The tremendous
pleasure craft is often thought to be
transatlantic liner or man-of-war 1t
is known, for example, that Ogden GOe-
let paid a fortune to Lily Langtry for
the use for a few years of the much
smaller vessel White Ladye.
1t will cost $150,000 a year merely to
float the Valhalla about. She had a
crew of 12S men and boys when in New
York harbor in September, 1895. They
say in the American community in
Paris that the Count and Countess de
Castellane are now spending 81, 600 900
a year And the gossips point out, too,
that life in the charming capital and
the new associations have quite trans
formed the daughter of Jay Gould from
a rather plain American girl into a tru-
ly fetching Parisienne.
In the selection of the Valhalla he
relied on the judgment of his brother
in-law, George Gould, who is now in
England. The Count and Countess and
the youthful heir to his fathers title
and his mothers money will now sail
about the world in search of decorative
art treasures with which to beautify
the new Partisan dwelling. They will
visit China, Japan, India, Spain, Rus
STA and elsewhere. While on their trav-
els the Castellanes will participate in
the gayeties of the cities they visit.
1t was fortunate that, having mar
ried a man with such big ideas and ex-
pensive tastes. Anna Gould had more
of a fortune than the other younger
members of the Gould family. 1t will
be recalled that the elder brother and
sister-George and Helen Gould-had
their special millions. Anna Gould, the
youngest of all, had the advantage of
a few years of minority during which
she was at no expense beyond school
ing. The accumulation of 81, 000,0 900
she is said to have settled outright on
Count de Castellane on her marriage.
She was then credited with a fortune
of $4,000, 600, which is $4,000, 900 more
than the young Duchess of MARI
borough carried to her ducal spouse.
According to all accounts the Countess
has had phenomenal luck in money
matters, and her fortune, though not
increased by saving, has enlarged be-
cause of good investments.
