SHIP BLOWN UP BYA TORPEDO
CASUALTY OCCURRED WHILE
GRAPHING FOR MINES.
Four Killed and Two Injured-Ves-
sci Sank Out of Sight In Deep
Water at st. Philip, La.

New Orleans. La, Sept. 3.-The govern
ment steamboat John l. Meigs was today
destroyed by an explosion at st. Philip.
She had aboard Lieutenant Jervy and a
party engaged in removing the torpedoes
laid in the Mississippi river during the
beginning of the war. Lieutenant Jervy
had a narrow escape.
The killed are: Charles Starr, COM
mander of the boat; Sergeant John New
man, of the engineers; Pat Carlos, Ralph
Rogers. Those wounded We're: Fritz
Koch and d. Il. Reddy.
Major Quinn of the engineer corps
was advised tonight that the Meigs
had been blown up by a torpedo or
mine. The government engineers had
been unable to recover the mines and
tOrpedOes from shore by means of the
cables to which they had been attach
ed. owing to the fact that the sand in
the river had weighted them down and
caused the cables to part. On this ac-
count crew was ordered down on the
Meigs to grapple for the mines and
bring them to the surface. The crew
had almost completed the work when
the accident occurred. The Meigs sank
out of sight in deep water.
Carlos and Newman, among those
lost, belong to the United States en-
gineer battalion that came here some
time ago from Willets Point, N. Y.

The Petite Republique says that the
afternoon of the day that Colonel Hen
~ was arrested ne was visited in his
cell by an officer who remained alone
with the prisoner considerable time.
The Petite RepubliGue, however, re-
fuses to accept the denial. and says
that in 1894 Colonel Patty du Clam en-
tered Dreyfus' cell and offered him a
revolver in order that he might COM

Petite Republique asks if the officer

cess of the requirements of the % per

The New York Financier says this
week:
The question that confronts the New
York banks at present is how to fur
nish the $30.000.0O0 or 100000 900 usually
required to move the crops on reserve
that is below SIS. 000, 900. Ordinarily the
situation would be regarded as critical.
but conditions are such that money
rates have advanced barely l per cent
and the outlook is regarded with
equanimity. The surplus reserve of the
banks is now lower than at any time
since the presidential election of 1896.
1t will be recalled that money during
the close of that campaign rose TO pro-
hibitive figures and gold flowed from
Europe in consequence. 1t does not

be delayed much longer, but the incen-
tive of very high rates will be lacking.
The domestic money supply was never
more abundant, but the sale of bonds
and the collection of war taxes coupled
with a stoppage of the heavy expendi-
lures are locking up the money at the
treasury at the expense of the banks.
If this money can be placed in deposit
DRY institutions the situation will be
relieved, but the difficulty of obtaining
bonds as security for public deposits
has operated to retard the transfers.
AS il is, the treasury reserve stands at
the highest point in its history, while
the majority of the New York banks
are loaned up to their legal limit and
many are below the required reserve.
The movement to the interior has be-
gun and will continue in large volume
for some weeks to come.

Heat Frustrating Many Not Here

New York, Sept 3-The hot weather
is increasing the death rate among the
sick soldiers in the hospitals at Camp

more have occurred since midnight.
President Mckinley was shocked on
learning of the terrible sufferings OF
the Michigan troops from the heat
while en- route from the camp TO Long
Island City by rail. The president
urged that something be done at once

plenty of ice so that their discomfort
while in camp may be as light as pos
sible.

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Campaign Closed and the Democrats
Will Win Monday.

Little Rock, Sept. S.-The state cam
paign closed tonight and the election
will occur on Monday. A full set OF
state and county officers are to be
elected, as we'll as members of the
legislature. But little interest is CEN
tered in the general result, it being
conceded that the Democrats will have
an ample majority over the combina-
ton on state officers and that the
ticket headed by Governor Jones will
lie elected.
While the success of their state ticket
was never in danger, the Democrats
have conducted a very vigorous cam
paign, mainly for the purpose of keep
ing up representation in their conven-
tions. The Populist and Republican
candidates for governor have also can
vassed the state and tonight joint de-
bate is being held in the city before a
large audience.

CONDITIONS IN HAVANA.
Prices of Necessities of Life Higher
Than Ever.

Havana, Sept. 3d. p. m.-Although
not day has passed since the block
ade without two or three vessels ar
irving here with provisions. the price
of necessities of life are not only ex-
cessive but in some cases are higher
than they were during the blockade.
AS the Red Cross societys supplies on
the Clinton were not landed, this con-
dition of things seriously affects the
poor. Rice is selling at 61a cents a
pound retail; lard at 20 cents and meat
at 60 cents. During the blockade meat
sold from 40 to 45 cents a pound retail.
The retailers are taking advantage of
the situation and wish TO raise the
prices still further, regardless of the
distress of the poor, who, as they can
not afford to pay even the present
prices, must continue to suffer.
