Special for this
Week j.

Every Shirt Waist Manufacturer in the
country thought that nothing but dimities,
lawns and the thinner fabrics were going to
be used for Waists this summer The result
was, the heavier fabrics, such as Imported
Ginghams, Madras Cloths and fine Per-
Gales were discarded, and for six and eight
weeks these materials were thrown on the
market at any prices 10 close, but the man
ufacturerS' judgment was wrong, the heaV-
Ter materials are now in great demand, and
manufacturers are eagerly buying them at
big advance prices. We bought enough ma
terial when they. were at their lowest for
about $50 dozen Waists, had them made up
last week into the newest. shapes and to-
morrow we place them on sale at less than

And Now IA Milk Trust.

Chicago, Dec. pa special to the
Tribune from New York says: A milk
trust has been incorporated with a cap.
ital of SIS, 900 900. The articles of
incorporation have been filed. John D.
Gilmer, the promoter of the new COM
pany, is a rich baker of 203 Greenwich
street. He formed the famous
tion known as the New York Biscuit
Company. Mr.. Gilmer and his asso-
ciates have been busy for over a year

gin business at once. He a y he has
control of the milk delivery of over
1000 wagons, and that a large major
ity OF the %milkdealers of the city are in
the corporation. Three hundred
creameiies and 800 retail companies
who deliver milk to sun are to
be consolidated in one great company.
The present price of milk is six cents,
and Gilmer says the trust could do
business at Il profit by selling at three
cents q quart.

ADRIFT ~ A GALE.
Rough Experience of the Steamer Kai-
ser Wilhelm Der Crosse.


New York, De. 27.-The giantess of
ocean liners, the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, of the North German Lloyd
line, arrived from Bremen Il day late.
She brought over 461 cabin and 1893
steerage passengers. The passengers
told of a terrible experience. From
Cherbourg she met gale after gale.
On the third day out from Cher
bourg, while a heavy sea was running
and nearly all of the passengers were
seasick in the berths, the ships ma
chinery was suddenly stopped. Some
of the officers thought the mahcinery
had broken, others that the engines had
gone to pieces, and still Others that the
rudder was disabled. After the ponder
GUS vessel was hove to she began to
drift. For eight hours she was adrift
till she was 80 miles out OF her course,
when she started again.
The facts in the case are that on the
evening of the 10th the head OF the
main boiler was wabbling. Inyestiga-
ton showed that one of the steel bands
had broken off. To prevent the boiler
from vibrating and a possible eAplo-
sion, it was necessary to draw the fire,
stop the ship and allow the parts to
cool. Captain Englehart laughed when
the idea of danger in connection with
the break was mentioned.

BEHRING SEA AWARD.
arbitrators Agree OF the Amount Can
ada Claimed.

Ottawa, Dec. 24.-The government
has received a communication from the
a%rbitrators appointed to deal with the
claims of the Behring sea sealers
against the United States government
for losses caused by the seizure of their
vessels, submitting the award. The
arbitrators were Judge King of the SUI
preme court of Canada. and Judge Put
nam of the United States. The award
is $464, 600, with two reserved cases,
those of the Black Diamond for So, 900,
and the Ada for 81, 900. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1890 the United
States offered 800, 900, and Canada
claimed $3.50, 600. Afterward, a COM
promise was reached, and the amount
placed at$425, 600, but congress refused
to vote that sum. The present award
is virtually what Canada agreed to ac-
cept, with interest.

OUR ONLY INTEREST.


ONhIh Chiih'
Washington, re,. 24.-It is understood
the authorities here have been unof1i-
| cially sounded as to the attitude of the
United States toward the complications
in the Far East, with the view of learn
ing whether American interests in
China were regarded as sufficient to
warrant any active step by this govern
ment.
From what source the inquiries have
come is not disclosed. Ii from Great
Britain, they must have come through
Colonel Hay, the American ambassador,
as the British officials here have re-
ceived no instructions rs to the Chinese
situation.
1t is well understood, however. that
Great Britain would look with favor on
any active step by the United States
which would serve as a check for the
advances of Germany and Russia. The
British interests in China are ten times
greater than those of Germany, Russia
and the United States, and yet, with
Germany and Russia firmly located on
Chinese soil, Great Britain is left in a
sort OF cul de sac. 1t is known also
that the Chinese authorities would well
come a movement by the United States,
and that this has been communicated
to officials here.
Although these soundings, for they
amount to nothing more al yet, have
not taken official form, they have been
sufficient to gain a pretty general I'M
derstanding as to the attitude of this
government. This, in brief, is that
the United States has no interest in
territorial extension now going on in
China; that she will not land at any of
the coast ports of China, as Germany
and Russia have done, and that her
only consideration is to guard estab-
lished American interests in China.

TO CONTROL COAL MARKET.
Plans of IA Great Combine Forming in
the East.

New York, Dec. EFT has de-
veloped that a big coal-selling combina-
ton of the anthracite railroads where.
by the production is to be doled out by
the supreme head, is only II part of Il
vast project for control OF the entire
coal industry in the East. j. Pierpont
Morgan's plan involves the creation of
a similar central selling agency to
cover each of the great bituminous coal
districts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Indiana and Illinois and u
uniform working arrangement be-
tween them that shall put II stop to rate
cutting and decentralization OF trade.
The companies are to agree upon the
proportion each is to mine and haul,
and the buying company is to call upon
them accordingly as fast us it needs
coal for the market.

THE METHOD WAS FlENDlSH


Jacob Weinan Strangled With Cloth
Ramnled Down His Throat.
st. Louis, Dec. GA post norton
was held yesterday on the remains of
Jacob Weinan, who was found dead in
his kitchen Friday evening, having
been murdered. At the time a towel
was found tightly twisted about his
throat, but the post norton revealed u
peculiarly tiendish method the muir
derers had resorted to. Far down in
the mans throat, tightly imbedded in
the bronchial tubes, was Il wad OF thick
cloth, which had been wrapped with
horsehair. Fingers could not have
reached that far, and a stick was prob
ably used to ram the wading down.
In 1898 a soldier at Jefferson barracks
was murdered in a similar manner, and
the similarity OF the murder of Friday
with the latter has caused excitement
in police circles.

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.


Twenty Persons Injured on the Lacka-
wanna Railroad.
New York, Dec. 24.-Twenty persons
were injured, three perhaps fatally, at
a grade crossing on the Delaware, Lack
awanna u Western railroad, between
Passiac and Delaware, N. j., tonight.
They were in a stage which was struck
by a train. That any of them escaped
is regarded as a miracle.
All the victims are employed in the
Wothern & Aldrich mill, at Delawana,
two miles from Passiac. They ride to
and from their work in a big covered
stage. There were SO persons crowded
into the stage tonight. The party re-
lieved the monotony of the trip by
singing, and it was not until the horses
were OF the track that the engine was
seen by the driver. The driver str uck
his horses sharply with the whip, and
they leaped forward, and then stopped
abruptly as the gate closed on the other
side of the track. The locomotive
struck the stage almost in the middle,
hurting it several feet ahead, then
struck it again, throwing it from the
track. The occupants of the stage were
scattered in all directions.

would Abolish Coroner's once.

New York, Dec. 27.-The December
grand jury handed to Judge Hurd, in
the county court today, a recommended
ton that the Office of coroner be abol-
ished, because that Office is of no prac-
teal effect in ierreting out crimes; the
methods are open to the most severe
censure; the manner of conducting the
business is inefficient, and the power
of the coroner is delegated to subordi-
mates, whose chief functions seem to be
to collect fees incidental to their Office
for their chief.

TRAIN WRECKERS AT LARGE

ington Passenger.
Thayer, Ia, Dec. 27.-An attempt
was made between here and Murray
last night to throw from the track the
Burlington train No. 2. Whether the
attempt was made for the purpose of
robbery or for righteousness is not
known at present. About $3.50 o'clock
as the train was approaching the foot
of Murray hill. the engine left the
track. Fortunately no particular dam
age was done to it OF to the train, nor
was anyone on board injured. On ex.
aminations it was found the track had
been tempered with, and footprints of
men were seen on the hill leading away
from the roadbed. Spikes had been
pulled out of tine ties for three rail
lengths, the work being done with a
wrench and pinchbar, which had been
stolen from the carhouse at Thayer.

ALL IN THE SAME BOAT
Will Not Recognize Claims
of Any Commission.
BOLD STAND TAKEN BY KINCAID
Position, Much Money Would
BE Saved the State.

Salem, Or, March 15.-Secretary of
State Kincaid today addressed letter
to Hollister d. Mcclure, state fish and
game warden, that should set at rest all
questions as to how claims against the
state by the various commissions,
normal schools, charitable homes, etc.
will be treated by the secretary of state.
Mr.. Mcclure asked what form of claim
he should file for services and expenses,
and IL he might not obtain certificate
for moneys actually paid out for the
hire OF patrol boats and other necessary
expenses.
Answering, the secretary of state
said:
Il decline to file or recognize in any
way claims against the state by the
various commissions, normal schools,
charitable homes, etc. They depend
upon appropriations of the legislature
for what they receive, and when there
is no appropriation they have no valid
claims against the state, and will not
have any until an appropriation is
made for their benefit. In the case of
those claiming to be commissioners
there is also doubt as to whether they
are legally in Office. They can present
their claims to the legislature, if they
think they have any, but they cannot
file them is this office nor receive any
certificate or other recognition of claims
against the state without mandate of
the court
Here are some OF the institutions
affected by this ruling, and the mini
mum that the state would save during
the biennial term, if the secretary is
sustained.

New York, March 15.-Fire invaded
the cruiser New York on Tuesday
while the vessel was lying off Tomp-
kinsville. The forward magazine is
surrounded by coal bunkers. In it were
1900 pounds of guncotton and 5000
pounds of powder. Smoke poured from
the magazine and an alarm was given.
For the first time in the history of the
ship the automatic fire alarm had
failed to work.
Water was turned into the coal bunk
ers and there was no stint in the guam
tity. so that before the cruiser had
passed Governors island it had taken
into the hold such weight OF water
that it gained three feet in draught and
had to be sailed with great caution.
Arriving at the navy-yard the New
York was pumped out.
An examination was made, when it
was found that the fire had not origi-
mated in the magazine, but in the coal
bunkers adjoining.
