BABY DROWN ED.
Policeman Finds the Body of an
Infant In the East River.

A Policeman Finds the Body of an
Infant In the East River.
New York, Sept 26.-There was found
floating In the East River, at the foot of
Stanton Street, yesterday, the body of
little three-months-old baby. Some
heartless mother had probably flung it
into the water. There were no marks of
violence on the tiny body, but whether
the mother suffocated her child or wheth-
er il died by drowning only the autopsy
Of the coroners physician will show.
Policeman John Rodgers, of the Union
Market Station. at 1870 O'Clock yesterday
morning, noticed a curious object floating
beside the bulkheads at the foot of Stan
ton Street.
He made his way out on the docks
there to get a closer view OF the object
which he discovered was a bundle. from
one end of which protruded the head of
a child. The policeman leaned down and
tried to catch hold of the bundle, but was
not successful.
Then Rodgers obtained a boat and
rowed out. securing the bundle. He found
that it contained the body of a baby
clad in a long white slip. The pins fast
ened the underclothing were not rusted,
showing that the body had not been long
in the water.
There was newspaper wrapped about
the body of the child, the head alone be-
ing uncovered. The bundle was tied with
packing cord. Rodgers carried the little
body to the Union Market station. There
the police examined the child. but could
find no marks to indicate that violence
had caused it's death.
1t was the body of a well-developed
boy baby; which, they judged, must be
about three months old. The police no
titled the coroner's office and took the
little body to the morgue in a patrol wag-
on.
II don't believe the mother will ever be
discovered" said the police sergeant who
made the examination. THE baby may
have been thrown into the East River
from either shore. We could find no trace
of marks in the clothing that might lead
to an Identification"

WANT A MEATLEss BARBECUE.
Chicago Vegetarian Views on Pence
Jubilee Viands,

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The local society of
vegetarians has filed a protest against
the use of meat in any form at the Chi
cago Peace Jubilee.
The vegetarians declare that as the diet
of the soldiers and sailors who won the
battles consisted of little or no meat,
that article has no right to a place in the
celebration of no victories.
Besides, the vegetarians argue. bar
becue is of itself of Spanish origin, and
for this reason should be tabooed.
There are, however, no vegetarians on
the banquet committee, and the outlook
is that the society will have its trouble
for its pains.
Col David. Kentucky barbecue ex-
pert, will be in charge of the feast, and
he takes no stock in the vegetarian the

a WILDCAT KILLS A DOG.
Dispatched by Villagers. Who Rid
die Him With Bullets.

Port Jervis, Sept. 26.-Thomas Cuff
met huge wildcat in the woods at
Pines Brook, Delaware county, Saturday.
The cat, snarling, his eyes flaming. sat
on low branch of a tree and showed no
disposition TO back out. There was not
room for the cat and Cuff in the woods,
so Cuff backed out, although he carried
an axe.
The neighbors, alarmed armed them
selves, took dogs, and started after the
cat, which even then didn't back out.
At the first shot the cat sprung from the
tree on a dogs back and literally tore
the dog to pieces.
A volley killed the cat, a brindled chap,
which measured four feet from the tip
of his nose to the tip of his tail. And his
tail wasn't longer than a Manx cats tail.

Bourgogne Returns From Europe.


Plainfield, N j., Sept. 26.-Mr. and Mrs.
La Casse reached home from their Eu-
ropean trip yesterday, having returned
from France on La Gascogne. Mrs La
Casse was the only woman passenger res
cued from the ill-fated La Bourgogne On
her voyage to Europe. She was saved by
the heroic work of her husband.
When asked if she had noticed any
signs of -mindedness on the part OF
Capt Deloncle during the trip of La
Bourgogne, she said that she saw the
captain frequently from the time the ship
sailed until she went down, and at no
time did she notice anything which would
lead her to think there was anything
wrong with the captains mind. After
the collision, she said, he was in his right
mind certainly and exhibited bravery and
coolness that was remarkable.
Mr. La Case said he did not believe
Capt Deloncle had been suffering from
mental trouble. On the contrary, he
he seemed il perfect health in every

MAY GIVE PART OF ALASKA.
PROPOSAL to Cede Canada u Strip for
Scaling Concessions.

A dispatch from Quebec yesterday says:
The American members of the international
commission have today received many tele-
grams from different parts of the United
States, and particularly from Seattle, ask
ing about the cession Of American territory
to give Canadians freer access TO the Yukon
river in Alaska.
1t has been reported that the Canadian
commissioners were demanding the cesson
of the territory from Yakutat bay to Dix
on's entrance, including the cities of Skag-
uay and Dyea, thus extending the Cana
dian boundary line TO the Pacific ocean be-
tween the points named, the cession being
given in return for the surrender OF all
British rights 10 the seal fisheries in the
Boring sea.
1t is quite possible that such a proposition
has been made by the Canadian commits
sioners, but it is stated officially that the
matter has not been fully considered by
the Joint commission and that no PROPOSE
ton whatever has been accepted.
