A BIG SLUMP IN THE TEA MARKET
Dealers in Japan and China Alarm
ed by the Probable Action
of GouurPSs.

Tacoma, Wash, July IA big slump
has taken place in the tea market in
Japan and China since the last steamer
sailed that could land tea on this coast
before July /, when the new tariff was
expected to go into effect. At Yoko-
hama Japanese tea dealers did not lin
the fall in prices II with the inten-
ton OF coercing foreign buyers they
combined and notified merchants they
would withdraw their samples and do
no further business for three days. A
meeting of foreign merchants was called
and replied that they not only sympa-
thized with dealers, but would extend
holidays and do no business for five
days. This plan did not materially help
the situation and a few days later the
market was depressed again by news
that congres would probably drop the
proposed duty.
Many growers have abandoned the
second picking OF tea and some have
talked of pulling up the plants by the
roots. Yokohama tea dealers nave pro-
tested against this, believing that the
American demand will not be seriously
interfered with. AT Kobe inc other
ports stocks of tea are large and the
demand light. 1t is reported that New
York and Chicago dealers will lose o
ey on recent heavy importations, pur-
chased at high prices, because of the
failure of the proposed duty.

THAT STRANGE CATTLE DISEASE
Was Either Hydrophobia Oh Cerebro
Spinal Meningitis - Sensation
Sprung in the Erick-
son Case.

Chamberlain. July ia letter re-
ccived here from Fort Randall o n
vcys the information hat a small cy-
clone struck the old chapel there and
practically demolished it. Half the
roof was blown away and some Of the
walls were orr down. The building
has an interesting history. 1t was con-
structed early in the seventies when
Fort Randall was at the height of its
glory as the finest and liveliest of
frontier military posts. Gladstone
furnished the material for the prin-
cipal portion of the building, which,,
from an architectural standpoint.
would have done credit to a town of D.
600 population. The first Odd Eel
lows lodge in Dakota met in the old
chapel, and although Fort Randall
was abandoned by the war depart
mCnt six or seven years ago. the lodge
room has since been maintained, and
members Of the order from surround
ing towns To a distance of thirty or
forty miles were accustomed to go
there occasionally to hold lodge meet
ingS in what WAS one of the best and
most handsomely furnished lodge
rooms in the state. A general feel
ing of regret will be occasioned among
Odd Fellows throughout the state
when they learn of the disaster which
has overtakcn the old chapel. If
money can replace the structure in its
old condition. Odd Fellows, especially
in the southern portion OF the state
should by all means take the steps
necessary for repairing and preserving
the birthplace OF Odd Fellowship in
this region.

AN INNOCENT MAN CONVICTED
A Sensation sprung In the Erickson

F%landreau, July l9.-Thc Erickson rob,
berry case, which has occupied the atten.
ton OF Moody county people more or less
for two years, has developed a new sem
sation. 1T will be remembered that q
man named Jim Smith was convicted O..
this crime and sentenced to the peni-
tertiary for fifteen years. Smith died
in prison after serving a few months of
his sentence. His conviction was large
ly due to the testimony of Clyde KEEP
hart, who swore that the robbery was
committed by himself, Jim and Joe
Smith and Gust Kroening.
Recently one Sairom Staugeland
caused a sensation by confess.ng thar
the crime was committed by himself
and two others, altogether different
parties from the men implicated by
Kephart. Staugeland's ~accomplices, Id
alleges, were Ole Nelson, now in Jail
here, and a mar named G. ], Smith.
The three men were arrested on war;
rants sworn out by Joe Kirby of
Sioux Falls. who was the attorney OF
the former defendants. and word
brought before Justice Carter for pre-
liminary hearing.
IT was at this juncture that the
greatest sensation Of the case oc-
CURED. Clyde kephart appeared on
the scene and took the stand. He de.
clared his former story, which ilnpli-
Gated himself in the crime and which
convicted Jim Smith, was absolutely
false. Kephart was Immediately ar
rested on the charge Of perjury. and
stands a good chance Of getting a long
sentence.

SHERMAN'S DISPATCH
GIVES CRITICS CHANCE
Englishmen Do Not Like His Charge
Of Bad Faith in Bering
Sea Affair.
CHARGE AN UNDUE BREsQuENEss
While Not So Much So as the Clevt
land Venezuelan Message IL
Was Sufficient TO Fan the
Smouldering Embers.

New York, July IA Tribune Lon
don special says: The publication of
Secretary Sherman's dispatch on the
Bering sea question relights m
tarily in the press the s~mouldering en-
bers of recent criticism. The text of
that dispatch is not pleasant reading
here as the Pail Mall Gazette and other
journals frankly admit. If it's forti-
ter in re had been combined with its
suavitcr in modo there would have
been no cause for complaint. If one
hundred words had been taken out of
the tex of the dispatch it would have
been accepted as an unobjectionable
statement of the American case. AS
the matter stands the implication that
England has not acted with good faith
Is considered a blow below the belt.
The petulant comments of the Lon
don press today ought not, however,
to be taken too seriously. The action
of the foreign Office has disclosed a
willingness on the part OF the gov
eminent TO discuss the question with
put irritability. This dispatch was one
Of the earliest state papers presented
by ambassador Hay to the foreign of
flee after his arrival in London and
while a reply to Salisbury was a re-
fusal to set aside expert testimony the
British agent employed in the case.
There was no indication that unfriend-
" feeling had been eXerted either be-
fore or after Fosters return to Lon
don from st. Petersburg. Negotia-
tions nave remained in progress with
an increasing probability that the
British government will ultimately
consent TO send "A representative TO the
conference at Washington when Rus
STA and Japan have been drawn into
il. The situation remains unchanged
and is not effected by the comments
of English journals upon a few phras-
es in Secretary Sherman's dispatch
is considered here unnecessarily
bresque and aggressive, although mild
and innocuous in comparison with
President Cleveland's Venezuelan
message.
Negotiations are controlled by Am
bassador Hay, and his tact and tiexi-
bility have had "a tendency to mini
mize the effect of the two or three pas
sages in the original dispatch, which
the critics in the London press consid-
er Objectionable in form and lacking
in courtesy. The protection Of the seal
herd is really a question, not of inter
national law, but of international COM
fty and natural history, and there is
no reason for undue excitement over
IL on either side of the Atlantic. Both
Hay and Foster decline TO discuss
the question or to say anything except
that negotiations are making satisfac-
tory progress.

THAT KANSAS CRY TRAGEDY
DITTO Weber Tells Why He Had IL
In for SchIeigei's Victim,
DIR. Rerrer.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 17.-Since the
arrest of Otto Weber, WHO is charged
with being an accessory TO the murder
of DIR. l.. A.. Berger, and Weber's nd
mission that he was a bitter enemy OF
Or. Berger, there has been much Curl
osity concerning the cause of Weber's
hatred of Berger. When questioned
about the matter Weber told the
story:
When Mrs. Weber was sick her nus
band employed DIR. Berger TO attend
her. At ! o'clock at night Weber says
he called up DIR. Berger by telephone
and asked him to come at once, as his
wife was very sick. Weber says DIR.
Berger answered that he would come,
but he declares that the doctor did not
arrive until 3 o'clock, and that then he
was drunk. Weber says That his dying
wife said TO him;
"Oh, don't let that man near me. he
is drunk"
But DIR. Berger attended Mrs. Weber
ard she died. Weber believed that her
death was due TO the neglect ana
drunkenness Of DIR. Berger, and from
that hour he was DR.. iierger's sworn
enemy.
The defense of John SchIegel when
he is tried will he that he was insane
when he shot Dr.. Berger, driven SO
by brooding over the story told 10
him by his wife, that she was assault
ed by DR.. Berger. Weber's defense
will be that he did not advise Schle-
gel to kill DIR. Berger.
The Pinkerton detective force and
the city detective force are working
together to get evidence against Mr..
and Mrs. Schlegcl and Otto Weber.
The relatives of DR.. Berger say IT ~
probable that Mrs. Schlegel will be ar
rested o for completely in the XIII
ing of DR.. Berger.
John Schlcgel was taken before jus
tice Krueger's court yesterday after
noon for his preliminary hearing on
the charge OF numbering DR.. Berger.
Justice Kruger, however, also is a
physician, and as the doctors are tax
ing an active part in the prosecution
of Schlegel, the latter's attorney con
cluded to take "A change Of venue n
