Washington. September 3.-Secretary
Sherman and the new minister from
Peru, Senior Egugueren, had a confer
ence at the state department yesterday
the long pending case of Victor McCord
being among the subjects talked of.
1t was stated that the United States
had presented and ultimatum to Peru
demanding the immediate payment of
$4,000 in settlement of the McCord
case. 1t is learned from official sources,
however. that no ultlmatum has been
presented, although courteous and
firm note was directed by Secretary
Sherman to Peru, urging that this long
and irritating controversy be speedily
closed. There Is good reason to believe
that Peru's answer will be of such a
nature as to do away with any chance
of friction between the two countries,
and that n final adjustment will be
made at an early date. At the same
time Peru will make it clear that any
adjustment that is reached is made to
continue the friendly relations long eX-
isting between the two countries. and
that the claim of McCord is not re-
sarded as a just one.
Senior Eguigueren was seen later at
the Peruvian legation, and consent
ed to give Peru's side of the case. 1t
differs in many respects from the state
ments made in connection with the So
called ultimatum. In brief it is con
tended, first. that McCord was not, as
claimed, United States consul Mt the
time the alleged indignity to him &C.
Cured but was superintendent of the
National railway of Peru, and without
any official connection with the United
States.
Secondly, that the fine and lmpris-
onment imposed upon McCord was JUS
titled by the fact that his action during
the revolution of 1885 led to the trans
portation of large body of armed
troops from Mollendo to Arequipa,
where bloody conflict ensued, result
ing in the death of large number of
Peruvians; third, that any grievance
Mr.. McCord may have had was long
ago settled in writing by Mr.. Thorndyke,
his superior in the Peruvian railroad,
and, finally, that McCord himself is
now resident of Peru, and is not de-
sirous of having the United States urge
the claim.

Mail for the Gold Fields.

Washington, September 3.-Postmas-
ter General Gary has issued an order
establishing an exchange of mails once
month between the postoffices at
Dyea, Alaska, and Dawson City. The
service Is to consist of one round trip
each month, the first trip to commence
at Dyea upon the arrival at that place
via Juneau of the mail steamer sched-
uled to leave Seattle on the 18th of Sep
TENDER and to arrive at Dyea on the
goth of the same month"; and the sub
Sequent trips to commence upon the
arrival at Dyea of mail from Seattle.
The mails in question shall contain only
letters and postal cards to the exclusion
of all other articles.
The mails made up at the office at
Dyea for the office at Dawson City
shall contain letters and postal cards
addressed for delivery at any place in
the Yukon region of Canada; and the
mails made up at the office at Daw-
son City for the Office at Dyea shall
contain letters and postal cards ad-
dressed for delivery at any place in the
United States. This is the formal an
nouncement of the Inauguration of the
new postal service into the gold region
which has been established through an
agreement between this country and
Canada. The contract for performing
the service will be let by the Canadian
government, the United States paying
the latter for its share of the expense

Washington, September 2.-The dock
ct for the next term of the United
States supreme court, which will begin
on the 18th of October, is being prepar-
ed. 1t contains to date 446 cases. show
ing an addition of sixty-three cases
since the adjournment of the court in
May. OF those cases 12S are from the
state courts, 119 from the New England
court of appeals, forty-nine from dock
cts, twenty from the Territorial.
thrty-two from the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia, twenty-nine from the
court of claims, twenty-slx from the
private land courts, seventeen from the
United States district courts. There
were 500 cases on the docket when the
court convened in October, 1896. This
year the number will be fully 100 loss.
The constant falling off indicates tEut
the court will soon be quite up to date
with its business. The diminution OF
cases coming to this tribunal has been
caused principally by the creation of
the United States courts of appeals,
causing falling off of from 1000 to
1900 cases per year in the cases brought
to this court from the United States
circuit courts.

Claim Klondike.

Port Townsend, Wash, September 8.
A letter just received from John U.
Smith of the United States mission at
Dyea and Skaguay intimates that gov
eminent officials now on their way to
the upper Yukon may, by their official
acts, bring on serious international
complications with the Dominion gov
eminent. He says
st is announced here by deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim
10 large portion of the Yukon gold
fields, which heretofore has been sup
posed to be in British territory and that
the territory which is claimed as being
within Alaska includes Dawson City.
The basis of the claim to be made by
the United States officials to the dis
puted territory is the fact that the
boundary line has never been deter
mined and the United States author-
ties are claiming to possess informa-
tion as to surveys made by the Cana
dian government that fixes Dawson
City and large portion of the gold
district within Alaska"

Galveston, Texas, September 81. Il.
Wallis of Wallis, Landes Il Co., says
the information received by his firm
leads him to believe that the estimates
of the Texas cotton crop are too high.
Reports from our patrons and ship
pers," said Mr.. Wallis yesterday after
noon, "lndicate that the condition of
the crop in Southern Middle Texas, in
Southwestern Texas and in Eastern
Texas is even more serious than was
shown by the statements so far pub
liShed. In some places our reports
show that it will take from ten to iif-
teen acres to make a bale and in other
places from seven to ten acres to make
a bale. The drouth has been much
more severe than we We're led to be-
lieve. From half n dozen places we
have reports THAT the gins can not be
operated because of the scarcity of wa
ter. These reports are from Jasper Ty-
Ter, Nacogdoches, Trinity and Polk
counties. My understanding is that
half way between here and Beaumont
there has been no rain at ALL"

Dallas, Texas, September 1.-The Dial
las Commercial club held special
meeting this evening to consider the
ocean freight situation. A resolution
was adopted that the merchants of Dali
las who are members of the Commercial
club stand by and patronlze the Lone
Star Steamship line for all character of
shipments, including cotton, grain and
general merchandise-now matter how
rivel lines may cut the rates to run the
Lone Star line out. The resolution re-
cited that the Lone Star was the first to
give Texas fair rates, and Its rivals
seek to cripple 1t therefor. During the
debate on the freight situation it was
favorably discussed that the Lone Star
Fine be requested to put on two more
steamers between Galveston and New
York, and that THE Texas merchants, IL
necessary, raise subsidy to induce the
company to do this.

Atlanta, Ca, September The mis-
demeanor prisoners of Georgia are on
the verge of universal amnesty, which
Governor Atkinson may issue at any
moment.
The continual obstacles which are
being placed in the way of the COVER
nor's efforts to force the cancellation on
the private contracts have angered him
considerably, and he has expressed his
intention to clear the jails by a whole
sale pardonng if nothing short of that
extreme step will accomplish the pur-
pose. The contractors who have the
benefit of the labor of two regiments of
men for almost nothing are strongly en-
trenched politically, and hold, though
in check, the proper official agencies
through which the work of release
should be done. The county solicitors
gain their salaries through the hire of
these convicts, hence their delay in
moving for clearing out of the system.
The governor declares that he may be
forced to empty the jails, but that the
cause to be attained would justify it.

being plowed to stop the progress of the
fire. The Kankakee marshes are as in

Mills in Full Blast.


Galveston, Texas, September 2.-The
rope mill reopens next Tuesday, and
will be operated regularly without
stoppage.
The cotton mill will work month in
and month out the whole year.
These three manufactures, employ
inging 1000 operatives, are now in a
condition that warrants the belief that
they will afford continuous employment
to the army of toilers whose work here
tofore has been none too regular. The
cotton mill has been heavy tax upon
the men who put their capital in 1t, but
ultimately it is expected they will re-
ceive n fair return for their capital in
vested. The cotton mill, to be sure,
has since it opened eight years ago
worked steadily, never having shut
down by reason of strike, hard times
or other complications.
The bagging mill has heretofore been
stopped every winter for repairs to
machinery, and once or twice 1T was
necessary to close down because Of
inadequate storage capacity Now ar
rangements nave been made whereby
these obstacles have been overcome.
The rope mill has heretofore been
closed about half the time. Now, it
is understood, the mill will run regu-
larry without stoppage.

His right hand was caught by the saws
and in an instant he was drawn up to
them and their sharp teeth cut into his
flesh. His right arm and side were
literally cut to pieces. His breast and
side We're cut until his lungs were ex-

groaned and gasped, and was dead. His

by and threw the belt off and stopped
the saws, but it was too late-all was
