Panic on Board Two Steamers in the

KINGSTON, Ont, Aug. 1.-Two pas.
esngst steamers, the America of the
American line, and the Algerian of the
Richelieu and Ontario Navigation COM
pany, collided in the famous Lachine
rapids Of the St. Lawrence river near
Montreal. Both were crowded with
passengers, and a panic ensued when
the two crafts came together. Above
the roar of the rapids came the grind.
ing of splintering of wood, as the two
boats dashed down the rapids together.
Many Of the passengers tainted and
pandemonium reigned on board. BY a
miracle, seemingly, no one on either
boat was injured and the damage to
both boats is comparatively slight when
the peril they were in is considered.
The bulwarks of the America on the
side she struck the Algerian are torn
away and the woodwork is otherwise
damaged. The Algerian, being the
larger and heavier boat, escaped much
serious damage. AS soon as the end of
the rapids was reached the steamers
were headed for docks, and the passen-

Certain South Dakota Railroad Affidavits
May Prove Boomerang.
PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 5.-During the
session of the state board of equaliza-
ton Governor Lee exploded a bomb
under the representatives Of the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the
Elkhorn roads. In the litigation now
pending in the United States court to
enjoin the railroad commissioners.from
putting into effect schedule Of rates,
those roads have filed affidavits stating
that the valuation of these lines per
mile was approximately $1,000. Gov
ernor Lee made a motion that the val
uation as fixed by their managers in the
affidavits be the basis of determining
their value for taxation.
On the same percentage that bank
stock and other property is assessed,
this would make the assessment about
Sc, 900 per mile instead of an average of
less than $4,000 as at present. One re.
suit may be the modification of the at
fidavits in the injunction proceedings.
The governors motion is still pending.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-An ultimatum
has been presented to the Peruvian gov

Cord claim of $4,000. While no threat
of coercion is made in case of refusal,
the note makes the statement that any
further delay on the part of Peru to
close the incident will be considered as
injurious to the cordial relations exist
ing between the two governments.
The Peruvian minister has cabled the
note to Lima, and is now awiting in
structions from his government It is
expected the Peruvian government will
try to secure further consideration Of
the case, but such an attempt will not
meet with success. The state depart.
ment has informed Peru that her liza.

self, and that this government will not
consent to further discussion of the
matter.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 5.-The Hawaiian
government decided on July 2S to issue
no more six months residence permits

indisputable authority by Watson H.
