CHAPTER w.
ppmApn avn nNNvAUp

AS stated, the dynamite had explode d
The heavy freight train coming at full
speed, completely closed tha tunnel,
thereby Transforming Il into huge can
non. The compressed air, caused by the
rapidity Of the train, aided consi.i .rably
to the force of the explosion, which
naturally found vent at the open end or
lnuzze. The fret thought of Shorty
Jones cur Klondiker was that he had
been blown TO atoms, and, as he felt
himself borne outward and upward
| through the air without an effort of bis
own, it flashed through his mind that he
was climbing the golden stairs.
For only an instant did these thoughts
occupy his time; for, on feeling around
and pinching himself, he found that he
was all there, and very much alive and
so far as be could determine after hur-
ried examination but slightly damaged.
His next thoughts were OF soft place
to alight, but he derived no comfort
from their entertainment. His contem
plations and anticipations being some.
what confused he deferred action till
later. In less time than it takes to tell
1t he was sailing through tho air at an
speed OF ten miles minute.
Seeing some object whirling near him,
he involuntarily put out his hand, as
a drowning man would grasp at q straw,
gradually stopping its gyrations. 1t
proved to be box containing two hum
dred pounds Of onions, the only part oi
his outfit he had Reen since he had been
so uncetemoniously elevated. Drawing
it to him he placed it under himself,
reclining on it, as 1t were. 1t seemed to
buoy him up; to give him strength /;
which no doubt 1t did -onions being
noted for their buoyancy and strength
giving qualities Becoming somew b. at
accustomed TO his aerial flight, our Klon-
diker found by experimenting that he
coul ! change his course, up or down,
to the right or left, ct will, by simply
extending bis hands forward and incin-
ing them in the direction he desired to 60.
Thus was demonstrated by an accident
which had hitherto been but theory
that is, with the proper altitude and
sufficient momentum one can sail
through the air indefinitely, with little
effort on his part; like birl with mo-
tionless pinions, the resistance of the
atmosphere being equalized by the pres
sure OF the same, as it closes in after the
aerial navigator.
On making this discovery, Mr.. Jones
proceeded TO make his calculations &C.
cordingly. He decided to steer for the
Klondike, regardless Of consequences.

"When my SON was years old he was
in very poor health and we could get
nothing to relieve him. At the age Of z
years he began to complain of soreness on
both sides Ct his neck and soon Jumps be-
gan to gather on one side and grew to
half the size of en- egg. We then became
more uneasy and began to doctor him for
scrotula. He gradually grew worse, how
ever, until at the age of twelve years we
had lost all hope OF his recovery. He be-
came SO weak he could sit up but q few
minutes at time. My wife saw Hoods

EUROPE Is WATCHING FOR IT'S
OPPORTUNITY.
Spain Splits More Diplomatic Hairs.
Believed to BE Trying to Make the
Best Financial Bargain.

NEW YORK. November IA cable
to the journal from Rome SAYS: Rus
STA now proposes to the powers that
they present note to the United
States regarding the control of the
Philippines. Italy, however. is nor
disposed to accept this proposition.
An official journal today published a
note in which il was declared that
Spain has little hope of gaining any
advantage by retaining the Philip
pines, and that the best she will be
able to do is to compromise the mat
ter.
PARIS. November THE Ecairc
today, after reproducing all the six
articles of the peace protocol, says:
at is to be hoped the United States
will not maintain their first preten-
sions in regard to the Philippine ISL
ands. 1t is one. however. which in
terests Spain only, but Germany from
time to time allows it to be thought
that she is not Indifferent to the fate
of the islands and the possibility of
interference from the powers will per-
haps cause America to be less exact
ing"
MADRID, November THE Pre-
mier. Senor Sagasta. was questioned
today as to whether it was fact that
the Spanish government had address
ed note to the powers asking the
latter if they would support Spain in
protesting against "the intentions of
the United States toward the Phillip
pine islands," He replied that such a
note had not yet been dispatched.
Members of the Cabinet assert that
there will be three or four sittings of
the peace conference at Paris.
LONDON, November S.-The Daily
Mail this morning urges the American
people to pronounce boldly in favor of
retaining the Philippines, for other
wise there will be scramble for coal
ing stations that will endanger the
peace of the world
The Standard says editorially this
morning: 1--WE can see no alternative.
Spain must accept as inevitable the
loss of the Philippines. No doubt the
United States will assume a heavy and
serious responsibility, but it argurs
well for the future that the public
men of America appreciate and are
ready to meet. England will watch
the experiment with every wish Tor a
favorable issue"
The Daily News wonders whether
trouble is brewing in tie Philippines
annexation.
1t is. of course, difficulty to treat
such a demand with patience, and
Spain forfeits some sympathy which
she might otherwise have gained from
Europe in advancing it. AS matter
of fact, it is only another attempt to
raise the financial question. which. as
has been many times indicated in
these dispatches, is the only issue
with which Spain is deeply concerned.

DEAL WITH SUGAR TRUST
TWO HAWAIIAN CROPS TO GO TO
AMERICAN REFINERY.
Arbuckles Refused to Buy-Idea of a
Refinery Here Given Over-A Big
Planter Talks.

The Hawaiian planters have CON
tracted with the American Sugar Re
fnery for the sale of the entire sugar
output of the Islands for the next two
years, excepting only about $4,000
tons, which will be shipped to the re-
finery at Crockett, Cal. An amount
sufficient for the american sugar
Company's refinery at San Francisco
will be held at thai place and the rest
forwarded to New York TO be used
there in competition with the indie
pendent refineries.
Yes, we have sold out to the Trust,
if you wish to put it that way" said
"A leading planter this morning; but
it was case of couldn't help our
selves. Our first overtures were to the
Arbuckles. We wanted to patronize
the Independent refineries and were
open in our opposition to the Trust.
But the Arbucltles would not buy, and
the American Sugar Company held
out inducements that no one else
seemed prepared to meet.
at is not a fact that the Arbuckles
are unfriendly or put out because the
American Sugar Company is to re-
ceive our next two crops. On the
other hand, they appreciate our posi-
tion thoroughly and it was their fault
alone that we did not sell to them. Our
deal gives the Trust a big swing in
the sugar market west of the
Rockies
Asked if the deal would end the pro-
posal to build refinery here, the
sugar man replied: 1T will not affect
it specially for the reason that unless
there is radical change we will not
require a refinery here. Our business
in raw sugars has proved satisfactory.
1t would be next to impossible, in view
of our isolated position, to compete
with American refineries in prepared
sugars. Again, the marketing of re-
fined sugars is attended by numerous
dimculties. Raw we sell "a great
quantities to the refners. Refined
goods would have to be disposed of
in smaller amounts to the trade.
1--WE will, therefore. keep out of the
refinery business as long as possible.
If the worst comes we will have the
refinery at Crockett to fall back on:
but as matters now appear we will for
many years find it more advantageous
to deal exclusively in the raw pro-
duct. With some people who clamor
for refinery it is merely Il question
of sentiment"

SOLDIERS Thanksgiving THANKSGIVING WITH FLAGS At HALF MAST FATE Of THE PHILIPPINES THEY ARE OFF 70 MANILA
TWO SHIIS ENTER WITH SIGNS OF
MOURNING.
The c. f. Sargent Loses Her First Of.
ticer to the Sharks--Captain Dow
Dies of Dysentary.

TWO ships came into port this NOR
ming with flags at half mast. The {.
f. Sargent lost her first officer over
board yesterday, and the Planter ent-
cred port in command of her chief Of
iicer, with Captain Dow's body pre-
served in brine aboard
The Planter had hard and unsuc-
cessful trip this voyage. Besides los
ing her captain, she was able to Sc
cure only forty-siX tons of guano, and
besides lost both her anchors and for
ty fathoms of chain.
Captain +. A. Dow was not a well
man when the Planter sailed for Ly-
san Islands, a month ago. His ener-
gy kept him on his feet, however. The
vessel after its unsuccessful efforts to
load cargo, sailed from Lysan Islands
October 30th. Captain Dow was very
sick then with dysentary and malari-
al fever. November 2nd he died at
sea. His body was preserved and was
brought here. 1t will be embalmed
and seut to his home in California for
interment.
Captain Dow was one of the best
known ship masters in this port.
At Lysan Islands the Planter eXpe-
rienced heavy weather all the time it
was there. The seas were so heavy
that the breakers formed out three
miles from the shore; something very
unusual. They carried the Planter
away from her anchor. The anchor
was recovered but the next day it was
lost again with forty fathoms of the
chain, and the second anchor was also
lost in the same way. When this hap
pened there was nothing to be done
but leave. The twenty-five japanese
and two wife men employed on the
islands were taken aboard and start
made for Honolulu. After the death of
Captain Dow, Chief Officer Perry took
command.
William Noring. first mate of the C..
F. Sargent, while at work in the rig
ging, yesterday, fell overheard. The
ship was sailing about ten knots an
hour at the time. \ life buoy was
thrown to him at once and n boat was
lowered. He was a splendid swimmer
and was seen swimming easily toward
the bdoy. Wien he had almost reach
ed it he went down as though pulled
down by some force under the water.
The boats crew that had been sent
to his rescue cruised around for some
time but could not see him. They
saw number of sharks. however, and
it is believed Noring fell victim to
them.
This was his first trip on the Sar-
gent.
