SWAN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Pat McNa1ly Got to Within Three
Miles of the Opposite Shore.

LONDON, July 25.-Pat McNally,
who was scheduled to make an attempt
to swim the English Channel on July
18th, telegraphed to the Associated Press
to-day from Calais that he made the
crossing yesterday. He says he started
from Dover at 1f:30 in the morning,
and was in the water fifteen hours,
in which time he covered thirty-five
miles. He landed at 2:30 O'Clock in
the morning at point three miles
from Cape Griznez.
McNally left the Admiralty Office at
Dover in the presence of a crowd at
11:20, intending to go merely for a
trial swim. A lugger manned by two
local sailors accompanied him. Nc
Nally's trainer, Brown of Boston, and
one London journalist, were also
aboard the accompanying boat.
McNally swan steadily at the rate
of one and one-half miles an hour
Four miles out the temperature had
fallen to 81 degrees, and the weather
was foggy. Six miles out the fog lift
ed, and all circumstances were so per-
feet that McNally announced his inten-
ton to cross the channel. He had been
heading direct for Calais, but a strong
west current had drffted him to a po
sition nearly off Folkestone. He now
took refreshments, consisting of beef
extract and ginger and a long piece of
American chewing tobacco.
He swan almost continuously with
a breast stroke, with occasional changes
to a side stroke for relief. but never

At 4 o'clock the Varnel lfghtship was
seen by the swimmer. One and a half
hours later he passed the Varne, which
proved Captain Webb's greatest diff
Guilty when he attempted to swim the
channel. At 10 o'clock he began to
show signs of exhaustion but contin-
ued. From this time until , o'clock the
temperature of the air grew lower
McNally suffered severely, the swelling
of his hands giving him great trouble
and he was seized with cramps in his
legs, neck and arms. and the position
of his nose and mouth became swollen
so that breathing was difficult
AT 2:30 he had reached a point with

he commenced to splash wildly He
was blinded by the salt water, and they
tried to persuade him to get on board
This he refused to do, and he was
forcibly dragged into the boat. He i'm

UNION PACIFIC DEBT.
Important Step in the Foreclosure
Proceedings.

OMAHA. July pa petition has been
filed in the United States Circuit Court
asking that Judge VIM. d. Cornish be
appointed Special Master in the decree
of foreclosure which is about to be is
sued against the Union Pacific Railroad,
to make the sale and execute the pro-
visions of the decree.
This petition is signed by all the par
ties in interest as follows: The United
States of America, by George F. Hoad-
lev. solicitor; Union Pacific Railroad
Company and the receivers of the same,
by w. r. Kelly, general solicitor; +.
Gordon Dexter and oliver Ames, trus-
tees, by Winslow Pierce and r. S. Hall,
solicitors: the Union Trust Company of
New York, ]. Pierpont Morgan and Ed
win F. Atkins trustees; and the Central
Loan and Trust Company of New York.
The filing of this petition is regarded
in railway circles as one of the most
important steps yet taken in the fore
closure proceedings against the Union
Pacific Company. 1t is believed that the
appointment of the special master will
soon be announced, and that the fore
closure sale will follow at an early date.
The sale of the main line will take place
in Omaha, and that of the Kansas
branches probably at Topeka.
w. D. Cornish has acted as special
master of the Union Pacific since it went
into the hands of a receiver. He is a res
ident of st. Paul, but his principal Off
ces are located in the Union Pacific
headquarters in this city. In company
with General Solicitor Kelly of the
Union Pacific, he is now in Boston, TAX
ing testimony regarding the interests
that will be affected by the foreclosure.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Prince Teka-
hito Arisugwa and his suite left this

entertained for an hours time, and
then eturned to the Waldorf, where
they remained until they went to the
Grand Central Station to take their
train.

The New Bathing Suits.

7 don't see that any of our female
bicyclists and bathers at Ocean Beach
have become so importunate as their
sisters at Naragansett Pier are, thus
early in the bathing season. Nara
gansett has always pretended to set
the fashion in bathing apparel and
now that a contest has arisen among
sporting women as to the propriety OF
utilizing one suit for golfing and BIZ
cycling. the bathers there have set up
a cry for permission to bicycle from
their homes to the bathing ground in
the costume they propose to wear in
the water be the distance long or
short. On emerging from the sea they
would have their wheels at the waters
edge and go scorching back at the
top of their speed. This, it is said.
would make the bath extremely at
tractive' Yes, and the wet clothing
would make a fine, rusty bicycle, too.

Daily Occupation.

1t is not unusual to Danish from this
portion of life any idea of hope of
peace. That is kept for the evening,
when labor is over, and the comforts
of home and rest take its place; or it
is reserved for the evening of life, when
exertion ceases and energy drOops; or
it is relegated to some time in the fu
ture, when sufficient means have been
secured to make work appear unnnec-
essary 1t stands for the realization in
some way of ease, comfort, leisure, lux
ury, opportunity. On the other hand,
toll, effort, hardship and struggle are
all put in opposition to it. Thus men
will often live lives of labor and sacri-
flee, hoping by this means to obtain
peace and tranquility when toll is over.
But, to unite the two, to enjoy peace
in toll tranquility in effort, seldom oc-
ours to them. Yet no peace worth hav
ing exists without its power. and power
must have it's outlet in activity.-New
York Ledger.

CRETANS DETERMINED.
Turkish Troops Must Leave Before
They VIII Treat for Autonomy.

CANEA (Crete), July 25.-Djeveod
Pasha, the special Turkish commission
er sent to Constantinople to mediate
between Russia and the Mussulmans
and the Admirals of International fleets
for autonomy for Crete, visited the Ad-
mirals unofficially to-day, and they re-
turned his visit. In the eyes of the
Christian inhabitants of the island the
fact that Djeveed Pasha was permitted
to land is a blow TO the prestige of the
great Powers, and the Cretans have al
ready sent delegates to Admiral Cano-
var, commanding the combined fleets,
notifying them that they will decline
TO entertain proposals for autonomy so
long as Djeveed Pasha or the Turkish
troops remain in the island.

NEW AMERICAN TARIFF.
Pessi1nistic View Taken by the
London Spectator"

LONDON, July PA pessimistic
view is taken by the Spectator" of the
condition likely to be developed under
the new American tariff. 1t says:
Never before has the complete domi-
nation of the trusts over the Repub-
lican party been made so palpable to
the average man. Congress has been
ordered to protect the trusts and has
obeyed We found protection stripped
of its old pretensions and excuses. 1t
is reduced to a bare mercenary aspect.
1t means the enabling Of wealthy cor
porations to levy tribute upon the
masses, and to use the powers of the
Government to enhance piles that are
already enormous. We believe that
with a just cause behind them the
United States might safely defy all the
Vaccinations of hostile Europe; but in
aggressive policy, dictated by selfish
pecuniary interests, 1t must be said
plainly that the United States runs a
serious risk, and how fatal that might
be to all the highest interests of man
kind is abundantly clear. We trust
that all wise and rightly guided Amer
leans will sound a warning against this

FOR THE HEALTH's SAKE.

Cold drinks, ice cream and frozen
ices do not make people cool. If over
heated, cold drinks are most disastrous
to the digestion. Hot drinks, rather
than cold, are more. conducive to COM
fort in hot weather.
If the eyes are much inffamed, bath
ing them in cold water is sometimes
more restful than bathing them in hot
water. Never, under any circumstances,
apply warm poultice to the eyes. If
they infiame easily, great care should
be taken about going out where the
winds are boisterous and the dust is
flying.
To cure fiatulency take ten drops of
the tincture of nuX vomica in cold
water before meals every day for eight
weeks; also take the phosphate of So
dunn, teaspoonful in a teacupful of
water (boiling water to be preferred)
upon rising in the morning and upon
retiring at night. After meals take a
teaspoonful of pure glycerin
A bed should never be made up un-
der two hours from the time it has
been slept in. 1t should be aired thor
oughly and beaten until it is light.
Open all the bedroom windows and let
the fresh air and sunlight into the
room. Hair pillows are much more
conducive to healthful sleep than
feathers, and light woolen blankets are
better than heavy coverings.
Eating between meals, says a wise
doctor, is bad habit for one to ac-
quire. 1t will certainly injure the di-
gestive process, and soon upsets a nat
ural, healthy appetite for regular
meals. 1t is a very easy habit to get
into, and is rather difficult to break
up. If any eating is INDUCED in be-
tween meals, perfectly ripe, fresh fruit
is the least harmful kind of refresh
ment.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Japan Will Continue to Wage

is conclusively shown by the latest news

date of July 10th, which is now made
public for the first time.
While couched in polite and diplo-
matte language, the protest is sufficient
ly firm in tone to show that Japan will
continue to wage a diplomatic war, and
possibly go further to prevent the con-
summation of the annexation policy.
