JAPAN AND SPAIN UNITE.
Significant Visit Of Prince Take
heito to the Spanish Court
at San Sebastian.

London, July 16.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette says:
THE most notable event thus far of the
Spanish court station at San Sebastian
has been the visit of Prince Takeheito
Japan's ambassador extra ordinary, who
was sent to invest King Alfonso with the
Japanese imperial order of the Chrysan-
themum.
THE visit is considered of peculiar i'm
portance. The envoy was received with
extreme cordiality by the Queen and the
government. The prince. who was ac-
companied by the Marquis Ito, was re-
ceived with full state by the Duke of
Tetuan. Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs and all the court functionaries. The
streets were lined with troops. The dis
tinguished visitors were conducted to the
palace, where the Queen and brilliant
retinue welcomed them with high honors
Banquets. balls and other marked cOmpli-
mentS followed and the warships in the
bay were decorated with flags and bunt-
ing.
The Duke of Tetuan has gone out of
his way to protest that the mission is
purely complimentary and without pOliti
cal significance, although Japanese lega-
ton may be established at Madrid.
1T is said that the occurrence is being
carefully observed in the United States"

A MOB'S VENGEANCE.
Negro Brute is Kicked and Shot to
Death and His Body Burned
in the Streets.

Florence, Ala, July 16.-Near West

Rene Williams was found brutally MUIR
dered in the woods near her home. Yes
terday afternoon Anthony Williams, her
murderer, was captured near Pruitton,
and last night he expiated his crime in
the streets of West Point, in the presence
of 500 people. Williams was riddled
with bullets and burned in the streets
OF West Point. Before u shot was fired
the negro was knocked down and
stamped to death. Then the crowd fell
back and those who had pistols fired vol
ley after volley at him. The crowd then
gathered wood, and, building a fire over
him, watched the CHASTITY scene until the
murderer was only ashes.
The mob was composed of most sub

Nashville. Her intended husband came
down from Nashville and was at West
Point to meet the crowd of avengers and
assist them.
The young woman left her home early
Tuesday morning to pick berries. When
she did not return for dinner, her friends
went in search of her. She was found
dead and tied to a sapling with leather
strap around her neck. One of her eyes
had been gouged out and in her tightly
clenched hands were leaves and grass.
All around the ground showed that ter
rlble struggle had taken place. When
the negro was captured his face and
hands were terribly scratched and torn.

Umbrellas are of great antiquity;
among the Greeks they were a mark of
elevated rank, and one is seen on
Hamilton vase in the hands of prin-
cess. We ind the umbrella figured upon
the ruins of Persepolis; and the Romans
carried it at the theater to keep off the
sun. Yet Coryate, the traTeier in 1911,
notices the umbrellas of Italy as raft-
ties These and other umbrellas are only
described for keeping off the sun, which
may be explained by the comparative
scarcity of rain in the above countries
The frequency of rain in other lands led
to their being used for a very different
purpose. Jonas Hanway is described to
have been the first to walk the streets
of London with an umbrella over his
head, which he had probably used in his
travels in the East. And in 1878 one
John Macdonald, a footman, was ridi-
culed for carrying in the streets an UNI
brela which he had brought from
Spain; however, is he tells us, he per-
sisted for three months in carrying his
umbrella, till people took no further no.

HAvEmEYER NO LONGER KING.
Searles Likely to Succeed Him at the
Head of the Sugar Trust.

New York, July 16.-Wall street is say
ing that Havemeyer is no longer king Of
the sugar trade. 1t has been suspected
by a few insiders for two weeks or
more. The stock of the Sugar trust has
been cutting up curious capers. Large
connected with the Standard Oil con-
pany, have been withdrawn from tine
market. The old-time Hayemeyer manip-
ulatiOnS have ceased.
These facts have led to the inference
that Sugar trust affairs are on q new
basis. Half a dozen brokers who have
been closely connected with the Have
meyer interest have admitted that Henry
0. Havemeyer was no longer the owner
of the controlling interest in the -Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company.
In case of Mr.. Havemeyer-s retirement
from executive connection with the trust
which may occur at the next annual
meeting, according to Wall street opin-
ion, John E. SearleS will be the proba bic
choice of the Standard Oil interests as
the head of the trust.

Another week has passed and the posi-
tons in the Western league pennant race
are about the same, although the Brew
ers have gained few points over the
leaders. The Hoosiers still lead with
margin of eleven points over the Apostles
while the Columbus team has dropped to
within three games of the Milwaukee
club. There will be some hustling when
the HOLSTERS and Brewers get together
today and should the Brewers be able to
win a majority it will place them right
in the race Victory for the Hooseirs
would almost mean the pennant at this
time as they are in excellent shape to
cope With the weaker clubs. Detroit is
still in fifth place with a good show Of
remaining there. The Cowboys are IN
the rear end with the Millers and Bobo-
links fighting for sixth place.
In the National league the Bostons are
ahead. with the Cincinnati and Ralti-
more clubs coming up fast. The chances
are not SO rosy for the Beaneaters now
and they will have to fight hard to re-
tain the lead. They have met with many

reau OF STATISTICS
Washington. D. c., July 16.-The
monthly statement of the exports and

markable showing that never before in
the history of the country have the eX-
ports of merchandise. which includes

during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1897, nor has the excess of exports over
imports ever been so large. The only
time these figures were approached was
in 1892, when the United States was
making heavy shipments of grain to feed
EurOpe's suffering from a series of def
cient harvets.
The statement for 1897, with COMPARE
sons, is as follows: Exports of domes-

disc, $1,051, 9S7 ,091, as compared with
$751; COG, 93S for 1896. The total i'm
ports of merchandise during the fiscal
year just closed amounted to $764, 3733,-
905, of which 1881, 932, 605 was free of

over any previous year.

portant gain. The domestic exports of

Bullets from Eraag-Jorgensen Rifle Go
Through six Feet of Pine.

Fort Brady, Mich, July 16.-Recently
a test was made with the Kraag-J orgen-

power of the bullet. Two Norway pine
trees which were in line, and twenty feet
apart, were selected for the, test. The
trees were thirty-six inches in diameter
The rifle was fired at distance of thirty
PAGES from the first tree. The ball en-
tered the tree about four feet from it's
base, took a slight upward course and
passed through It entered the second
tree and passed through it and lost itself.
The trees were bored clean by the bullet.
Another test will be made, shortly with

SELLS HIS GIRL FOR $50.
Reartless italian Father Unable to Full
fill His Contract.

Chicago, H., July ia case wherein an
Italian father sold his daughters hand in
marriage for $S5 to a countryman was
disclosed yesterday through letter sent
the police by Count Rozwadowski. the
Italian consul of this city. The girl re-
fuses to wed the man chosen for her by
her parent, and the prospective bride
groom threatens to sue the father for OBJ
tanning money by false pretensee.
Ciccio Tomaselli is the name OF the
father who contracted to make his
daughter the wife of Angelo Riggio.
'Tomaselli lives at 135 Ewing street, in
the basement. Riggio lives at 37S Des-
PLANES street. The daughter whose
name is Graziella, is not quite Is years
old. Riggio is seven years her senior.
He is a peddler.
One reason why Graziella will not
marry Angelo is because he has only one
leg. Another reason is that she left a
sweetheart behind in Italy when she
came to Chicago seven months ago.
