NOT A PRIVATEER.
Saga is Domestic Vessel enning-
ton Programme May Be Changed.

Saga is Domestic Vessel-B enning-
ton Programme May Be Changed.
st. Paul. Mimi, July AT is believed
here that the steamer Saga, belonging
to a syndicate of South Dakota capital
lists was the mysterious craft which
gave rise a few days ago to reports
from the Pacific coast that a Spanish
privateSr was in that part of the world
lying in wait for treasure laden ships
from the Klondike. The Saga has just
arrived at Vancouver, having been
taken by it's owners from Central
American traffic to engage in the Alas
ka trade. The vessel is of foreign build,
and as it carries the flag of Holland.
some timid captain seeing the Saga at
a distance while on it's way up the
coast to Vancouver doubtless mistOok
it for a Spanish priVateer and hastily
carried the sensational news to the
nearest port.
San Francisco, July Aft has been
learned that in accordance with orders
just received from Washington the
-gunboat Bennington will probably sail
today. probably for the Alaskan coast
in quest of priVateers. Captain NicOlls
of that vessel has been examined by
medical board of survey but failed to
pass and Lieut.. Mosier, of the Alba
tross, has been appointed to command
the Bennington.
Lieutenant Commander Curtis will
assume command of the AlbatrOsS and
will probably be in command of the
mosquito fleet when Admiral Miller
transfers his flag to the Philadelphia
and leaves for Honolulu.
The work of coaling the Bennington
is being rushed.
The revenue cutter Grant will begin
coaling today and may sail on Friday
also for northern waters.
Admiral Miller says that the Benning-
ton is neither going to Manila nor to
the Ladrones, but he will not affirm the
report that she is destined for the
North Pacific

POPE COUNSELS PEACE.
Advises the Queen Regent to Ask for
Terms.

London, July 1.-THE Madrid cores
pondent of the Daily Telegram after
Quoting an assertion of Ell Liberal to
the effect that the fall of Santiago de
Cuba is the governments most earnest
desire, says:
If Gen. BIanco and the army in Cuba
continue in war. I am informed on the
best conservative authority that Senior
Sagasta will resign and a ministry in
GLIDING Senior Romero y Robledo and
Gen. Weyler will be constituted.
NV private belief is that on the fall
of Santiago the peace negotiations
which have already been informally be-
gun will become official. The pope has
teIegraphed the queen regent strongly
advising her to solicit peace and ex-
planning the grounds of his advice. It
is reported that the French colony at
Malaga has petitiOned the French gov
eminent to protest against an American
honbardment of that Spanish city.

Illinois might be decided by arbitration.
The operators at Pana have informed
the state board of arbitration that they
would agree to arbitration. Ward Mar
BILE president of the Chicago and Alton

MORTGAGE FOR Ss,OOO,OOO
About to Be ForecIosed on the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie.

Cleveland, July 14.-Col Myron T.
Herrick, receiver for the Wheeling &
Lake Erie railroad, when asked about
the proceedings which have just been
begun here in the United States circuit
court to foreclose a consolidated mort
gage for $8OOO,OOO on the road, said:
I am only an officer of the road I'M
der the direction of the court and know
nothing about what may be going on,
on the outside. However, I presume
that the action was commenced in view
of the fact that a new company is now
being organized and will in all proba-
bility take possession of the road FL
nanciaIly the road has been doing ex-
celIently recently"
Mr.. Andrew Squire, who is Colonel
Herrick's attorney, also said that in
his opinion the proceedings were COM
menced for the purpose of e-organiz-
ing the company.

WEST COAST PATROL.
Klondikers Will Be Protected From
Mythical Privateers.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE story
which has been widely circulated that a
Spanish privateer is lurking in the
North Pacific for the purpose of looting
treasure laden vessels from the Klon-
dixie is not credited in maritime circles.
1t is openly asserted that the statement
was made simply to divert traffic from
American to British vessels. The gov
eminent, however, has determined to
take no chances and has ordered a
number of vessels to the equipped for
patrol duty along this coast
Lieutenant Commander MoZier of the
AlbatrOss, will be at the head of the
fleet. The vessels under his command
will include the Grant, Captain J. A.
Siamm, the Corwin, Captain w. J. Her
ring, the Rush, Captain Roberts, and
the Perry, Captain Kilgore. The Cor
win is now at San Diego and the Perry
IS in Columbia river. These vessels will
be supplied with new rapid fire guns
and some of them may ultimately be
sent to the Philippines for revenue
work or scouting duty.

NAMED mcguire.
California Populists Place a Democrat
on Their Ticket.

Sacramento. Cal, July 14-The fus-
ionists in Populist state convention
routed the middle -the-road men by
nominating Congressman J. G, Mcclure
for governor, the vote standing 154 for
Mcclure to 1875 for T. w. E. Shanahan.
The platform reaffirms the party s
convictions in the principles enunciated
in the national platform. An amend
ment to the constitution is demanded
favoring the initiative and referendum
The free and unrestricted coinage of
silver and gold is demanded at the pres
ent ratio of Is to l.
A demand is made that there shall
be no further issue of United States
interest bearing bonds. Opposition is
made to all funding bills, calculated to
extend the time for the payment of the
Pacific railway debt. Demand is made
upon the government to fOreclOse the
Central Pacific mortgage. The plat
form says the war against Spain should
be prosecuted with overwhelming vigor,
but deprecates the war loan. The mid
dle-of-t he-rOaders bolted and nomi-
mated Shanahan for governor.

TAR and FEATHERS.
Frank Miller of Halstead, AS
saults 4-Year Old Girl.

Halstead, July 14-Frank Miller, a
music dealer at Halstead, was whipped,
tarred and feathered by a mob for at
tempting to assault the 4-year-old
daughter of DR.. J. F. Hertzler of this
city.
1t is claimed that Miller, who lives
next door to DR.. Hertzler, enticed the
girl, Agnes, into his house and there
made his despicable proposals.
The little girl ran home to her mother
and told her that Miller had hurt her,
and as we'll as she could she described
what he had done. The girl was not
badly injured.
When Miller was taken from the
house he was tied hands and foot and
gagged. Deep gashes were cut in his
back by the whipping. His clothes
were stripped off to the waist and he
was beaten with a twisted rope for
some time and was then tarred and
feathered and given notice that unless
he left town inside Of twenty-four
hours he would be more harshly dealt
with. Miller was found near the spot
of the whipping crawling up an alley
He was taken home and attended to.
1t is said he is in a. bad condition.
