CHICAGO, ILL. Aug. 13.-Ca plain John
Windrow OF San Francisco does not be-
lieve the story that Professor Andree's
balloon was seen floating in the ocean by
a ships captain. The captain is visiting
his brother, DR.. S. Windrow OF 233 LasalIe
avenue. He has returned from Sweden,
where he visited his relatives, among
whom is the family of Professor Andree's
brother. The captain said: 81 was in
STOCK holm when the news arrived that
Andree had left Spitzbergen in his bal
loon. His family, that is, his brother's-
Andree is not married-fuliy believe that
he will be heard from. Andree himself
told them that if no news was received
from him in two months, probably moth
ing would be heard from him for a year,
as he would then have landed in such 10.
caIity that it would be months before be
and his party would reach locality
where they could communicate with the
oursde world.
my own belief is that Andree has
struck a southwest wind, as these are the
winds that usually prevail at this time of
the year In the northern latitudes. and
that he has been carried into Siberia, and
it may be months before he will be heard
from.
''As to the story Of a vessel having
passed balloon floating in the sea, that
is a good yarn for landsmen. There is
not a captain SO inhuman. so absolutely
without sense, that he would not at once
send boat to investigate the thing and
anyhow the basket and provisions that
Andree carried with him weighed six tons,
and would sink the balloon when i'm
mersed in water. Never fear, Andree
will be heard from: depend upon it,"

Service Com mission investigating the
affairs of the city water office discovered
to-day Irregularities duplicating former
employees OF the department in a con-
spiracy to deiraud tie city during the
Swift administration. 1t is believed that
the city is loser to the extent of 5000 600.
The system by which the city was de-

given in full. Approval of the reductions
was made By using duplicate stamp,
indicating that a high official had sane

SILV YER Il DEAD ISSUE.

bur on FederdE Courts.
TOPEKA, KANs., Aug. 13.-The Popu-
lists of Kansas have decided that free sill
yer is dead ISSUE and the leaders pro-
pose to make the abolition of Federal
courts the principal issue of their next
campaign, hoping also TO secure its adop-
ton as one of the principal planks in the
platform of the next National Conven-
tion. The State Com mittee has decide ed
to issue call for National convention
or conference of leaders and committee
men at an early dale to consider this new
scheme.
This means the entire reorganization of
the party on new lines. Free silver and
Government ownership OF railroads, SUBJ
treasury land and loan theories and all
the cardinal principles of the old-line
Populist will be abandoned and the parry
elevated to a position from which an
attack upon the Federal Judiciary can be
made. The proposed action will cause
split at once. The plan is creating great
opposition, but the leaders assert that the
only salvation is in destroying Federal
courts.

ARiZONA'S BANDIT CHASE.

PRESCOTT, ARIz., May 11.-Advices
received from the posse after the crimi-
nails who escaped on Sunday from the
Prescott Jail. killing Lee Norris in their
fight, are that the tugitives have sepa-
rated. The Mexican, Cornelia. is believed
to have started for the Santa Maria mines
in Western Arizona. where he has friends.
Miller, who was wounded, is undoubtedly
in hiding in the Bradshaw Mountains
Parker, the Atlantic and Pacific train
robber and the man who shot Norris, has
a reward of over $1,000 on his head, and is
being pursued vigorously.
Fully fifty of the most experienced men
in Arizona are on his trail. After the
fight with the two Deputy Sheriffs in the
Bradshaws, Parker rode off to the east
ward, crossing the Black Canyon road in
the direction of Bloody Basin, in the
Verde Valley, and OF Tonto Basin. If he
tries to hide himself in the Businesses of
Blood, Basin he will undoubtedly soon
be captured, for two bloodhcunds, the
property of J. d. Moore OF this city, are
with the trailer, and appear to have no
d difficulty in keeping the scent.
Cowboys are joining in the search and
several posses are watching the passes
into Tonto Basin. The officers are conf
dent that Parker will be taken within
two days, though probably as corpse.
There is no doubt that he will make q
fight 70 the death.

Brown Sisters of Lark

for Assault.
Marshal Creed of SauSalito
Wanted for Drawing His
Revolver.
Legal Combat the Outcome OF the
Girls Fight Against a Cor
pOration.

LARKSPUR, CAL, May 1.-THE
fight waged by the Brown sisters,
Belle and Mary, against the American
Land and Trust Company and C. w.
Wright, its president, in particular. took
another turn to-day, and the wealthy
landowner and president of big corpora
ton had warrants for the arrest of the
young women sworn out in San Rafael.
The scene OF destruction presents a
sorry sight to-day. Where the fences of
the corporation stood all that remain are
the stumps OF a few posts. Evidently the
Sausalito workmen who made the raid
yesterday were not experts, for the ragged
edges OF the stumps present an ugly ap-
pearance. In a tangled heap on the right
hand side of the road, twisted into con-
fused mass of posts and barb wire, lies the
remains of the fence. while few feet dis
tant stands the house which was moved
clear across the road and out OF the way.
All is quiet to-day. Both factions are
placing their reliance in the legal proceed
ings already instituted. President
Wright's hands are tied, so far as replac-
ing the shanty or rebuilding the fence, by
the injunction obtained by the Brown
girls from Superior Judge F. NJ. Ange-
lotti.
This morning President Wright jour.
neved to the county seat and visited the
hall OF justice. He claims that an attempt
is being m ade to steal the land from him,
and this. he says, he wifi resist. Here at
L1rkspur every one sides with the Browns
and row almost occurred to-day because
nj of to N
for Wright. This was Tim Murphy, who
looked down tie barrel of Marshal Creed's
revolver yesterday. After yesterdays ex-
perience Murphy had enough, and to-day
he has even quit having an opinion.
However. he thought it well to swear out
a warrant to-day before Justice Gardner
of San Rafael charging John E. Creed OF
Sausalito with assault to murder with
deadly weapon. He also swore out one
against Mary Brown for the same offense.
c. W. Wright was not so generous in
his actions. He went before Justice
Gardner and got warrants out for the ar
rest OF Mary Brown, Belle Brown and lit
tie Peter Keegan, charging them all with
assault with deadly weapon, for be it re-

the humiliation and the shock to his dig
nifty are to be considered also.
The arrests will be made tomorrow,
when the trio will be brought before the
justice. Some sensational stories are
promised and more details of the battle
which took place in the wooded canyon
near larkspur will be related.
Tonight both parties are awaiting the
morrow's legal conflict.

Bright NardE Cadets Hiu No Longer Be
Sent -4broad.

Sent 4broad.
WASHINGTON, D. c., MAY 1.-THE
Navy Department proposes to abandon
the policy of sending the two lead
ing cadets OF each years graduating
class at Annapolis to Europe for an ad-
vanced course OF instruction in naval
architecture. 1t will after June next edu-
cate its young men for the construction
corps entirely at the schools of this coun-
try For several years it has been the
custom to send one or two cadets each
wear to the Royal School at Greenwich to
be educated for two years at this Govern
ments expense and then commission
them as assistant naval constructors.
In all instances the American lads have
taken the highest honor of their class and
in competition, too, with men their
seniors by many years OF about twenty
boys sent from the naval academy TO
these foreign schools all are now mem bers
of the construction corps, save live, who
have died, aud one, Lewis Nixon, who
runs ship-bullding plant. Three OF the
cadets died from the heavy strain pro-
duced by efforts to maintain the records
esta bished by the American boys, two
having committed suicide and another
dying soon after his return. Eight cadets
are now taking the course abroad. Five
of them have already been commissioned
assistant naval constructors. Three will
return in June.
These young men are being educated at
Glasgow and Paris. England some years
ago positively declined to receive further
American cadets at her naval schools and
other advanced institutions of naval arch
itecture were selected. Lately she has re-
fused TO permit cadets at Glasgow to in
spect her reading shipyard or receive any
information OF u technical nature. Her re-
fusal to grant courtesies is said to have
been due to jealousy at the high stand
taken by Americans over her own men,
| especially at Greenwich.
Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn has
written Q statement showing the same
course can now be secured at either the
Cornell or Boston schoo! of technology,
and that it will be more patriotic to send
cadets intended for the construction corps
to one of these institutions than to for
eign schools, where the course is saio to
be no better.

The Deputy Constable
Arraigned for Murder
at NeWhall.
Strong Evidence Connecting
Him With the Death OF
Mccoy Pyle.
Network OF Proof That He Muir
dered His Brother Officer
and Friend.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 1.-THE ex-
animation OF Deputy Constable Ed Nc
CamIsh. charged with the killing of Con-
stable Henson Mccoy Pyle of Fillmore.
was begun before Justice Clayton at New
hall to-day, and the evidence was uncom-
fortably strong against the accused. A
mum Der of witnesses testified to facts that
contradictei the story of McCamish of
how he and Pyle had arrested two Iram ps
for committing burglary in the room of
Mechanism, and how the two prisoners
escaped from their captors at Castaic Sta
tion after killing Pyle.
The original story OF McCamish might
have passed as the truth but for the fact
that he talked too much and drew suspi-
cion upon himself.
DaIlison Lineberger, a brother-in- law Of
the deceased, testified that he had en-
tered the room of Mechanism and found
there the clothing and other articles that
the defendant had claimed were stolen by
the two men who, he said, he and the
other officer encountered at Castalc.
Line berg found in the room even the
identical pair of handouts which Nc
Camish said be had snapped on one OF his
prisoners and had been carried away by
the culprit 1t was the discovery of the
things claimed to have been carried away
that appeared to fasten guilt upon the
deputy constable.
Sheriff Charlebois of Ventura County
also found some of the articles, and he
identified q number that had been de-
scribed TO him as among the plunder of
McCamish's robber. The deputy constabl
had teIephoned to Los Angeles q minute
description of the robbers, but to Sheriff
Charlebois he claimed that he had been
sandbagged and chloroformed, and had no
idea what the fellows looked like.
Other witnesses said they hsd examined
the ground about the scene OF the shoot
ing and could fnd no footprints but those
of Mechanism and Pyle. There was no
sign of struggle, such as had baen de-
scribed by the defendant, and no indica-
tions that any men other than the con-
stable and his deputy had been on the
spot that night.
All the evidence tended to tighten the
coils about Mechanism. The examination
will be continued tomorrow. The pris-
oner is detained in jail here.
1t is not likely that an attem pit will bs
made during the preliminary examina-
prompted by Iowa for Mrs. Pyle-an al
fectioE which was not returned by that
estimable woman. The evidence already
taken is sufficient to warrant the hoIdin g
OF the accused man, and the story of his
unrequited love will not be brought out
until he is placed on trial for his life.
