UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Serious Condition of Affairs at Pana,
Ill.-Miners Not Responsible
for Situation.

Pana, H., Sept. THE city was
placed under martial law Tuesday
afternoon, Notwithstanding the atti.
tude of the minersis absolutely quieter
than at any time since April. Citizens
are indignant, and unless Gov. Tanner
acts, may appeal to the president to
send United States marshals to arrest
the sheriff and deputies for endeavor.
ing to incite riot. Emboldened by
martial law projections, ex-convict
negroes from springside camp came
into the city Tuesday afternoon and
boldly paraded the streets, taking
complete charge of the sidewalks and
badly frightening citizens. The as.
pect is serious. The miners are con.
Quoting themselves very orderly.
There are no outbreaks. Notwith.
standing the deputies are taking ad-
vantage of the law and committing
overt acts, the miners take the pro.
ceedings coolly, believing the action
of the sheriff and negroes is to incite
them to riot and lawlessness, to induce
Gov. Tanner to send troops. There is
positively no need Of martial law nor
deputies, and this movement taken by
the operators, Mayor Penwell and
Sheriff Coburn is unjustifiable. Citi-
zens are afraid to venture on the
streets

Hope to See the PresidenI,
The Des Moines business men who
ere arranging for carnival here early
in October have had some difficulty in
securing the necessary funds, but now
they have hopes that President Nc
Kinley will make brief stop in the
city en- his way west to visit the Trans
Mississippi exposition. They have as
much assurance as any of the places,
from Chicago west, that hope for a
visit from the president and his party
If he has the time to spare to come
west
Will Outdo Other States.
The Iowa commission having in
charge the Iowa exhibit at the Omaha
exposition will Guido all other states
in the display that will be made on the
state day at the exposition. 1t will be
a splendid affair. that is assured. The
commission is planning for an exhibi-
ton of Iowa population that shall
'astonish the natives" The plan il to
have parade that shall extend from
Farnham street. down in the business
center of Omaha, to the middle Of the
exposition grounds, more than two
miles. Fifteen bands have already
been engaged for this monster parade.
Iowa and her comfortable building
have made an excellent impression at
the exposition and the commission
wants to keep it at high tide by maxi
ing Iowa day, September 81, the big
gest of all.
Appointed n Nurse.
Miss Della Weeks, the trained nurse
who was sent out from Des Moines at
private expense to help care for the
soldiers in the Fifty-frst regiment,
Iowa volunteers, in camp at San Fran
cisco, has been appointed nurse in
the army and will be retained with the
regiment in an official capacity. She
has done wonderful amount of good
while with the regiment, since about
June IS. The Fifty-first, like the
Forty-ninth, now in camp at Jackson
Vile, has not been notified of early
mastering out, and these two regi-
ments have chance of seeing service
of some sort.
A Sad Addiction.
Brig. Gen. James Rush Lincoln, Of
Ames, stationed at Tampa, had the
misfortune to lose his little ten-year-
old daughter, who was at home, while
Mrs. Lincoln was with her husband.
The child died OF typhoid fever before

was favorite in Camp Mckinley, for
she spent the entire time there while
her father was in command.

TROUBLE AT CANDIDA.
British Troops on Island of Cret.
Have Trouble with Mussulmnns
City Is Bombarded.

Gambia, Island of Crete, Sept. t.
Gambia is in state of anarchy. A col
lision between the Mussulmans, who
were demonstrating against European
control and the British authorities,
who have been installing Christians as
revenue officials, eliminated Tuesday
in bloody fighting between the Mus
sulmans and the British troops. Riots
took place in various parts of the city,
and many have been killed. When the
outbreak was iercest warship sta.
toned in the harbor began firing shells,
with the result that portion of the
city is in flames. The greatest con.
fusion and uproar prevails.
The trouble began with the attempt
of the British military authorities to
install Christian officials. They had ap.
pointed council of internal control
to administer the 1.-THE revenues, and a
detachment of soldiers was stationed
outside the office as a precaution. A
crowd of unnrmed Mussulmans, who
had been demonstrating against the
Christians, attempted to force an en-
trance into the Office. The British sol
diers fired and wounded several. The
Mussulmans ran for their arms, and re.
turning attacked the soldiers. Other
Mussu1mans spread rapidly through
the Christian quarter, shooting into
windows and setting many houses and
shops on fire. 1t is reported that the
British consul has been killed.
Canea, Sept. Z, via Paris.-Four war.
ships have started for Gambia where, II
is reported, three English persons have
been killed and four wounded and six
Mussulmans killed. Special precau.
tions are being taken here and at Reti.
mo, troops being held in readiness
The fighting has ceased at Gambia, but
the troubles continue.

MANY ARE MISSING.
Bridge over st. Lawrence River Gives
Way-Thirty Thought to Have
Perished.

Hogansburg, N. Y, Sept. About
noon Tuesday two south spans of the
international bridge of the New York
g. Ottawa railroad, now under con-
struction across the St. Lawrence
river about three miles above st.
Regis Indian village, fell without
warning, with 80 men at work on the
bridge, all being thrown into the river,
some GO feet below. Over 80 were
picked up and taken to Cornwall hos
pital and many are now missing. The
bridge consists Of three spans, of
which two were completed and the
third was nearly completed when the
south pier gave way at its foundation,
causing both spans to fall into go feet
of water, taking it's load of human
freight with 1t. The names of the killed
and drowned cannot at present be
ascertained, as they We're mostly from
Pennsylvania, excepting a few Indians
from the ST. Regis reservation.
The scene of the accident is located
about four miles from Hogansburg,
above the st. Regis Indian reservation.
The bridge that gave way was being
built across the ST. Lawrence river
at the foot of Long Saulte rapids, near
Reinhardt's island. The water at this
point Is known to be as swift as in any
part of the river. The immediate
cause of the disaster and the giving
way of the span of the bridge seems
to have been from the washing away
of one of the large piers. The pier
In question was begun last fall, and
work was continued all winter and
finished this summer. The contract
work was in charge of Messrs. Sooy
Smith & Co., who are we'll known as
extensive and careful contractors in
their line, and known to have had in
structions from the railroad company
to build for "permanency." The pier
had been accepted as perfectly relia-
BILE and safe. It would seem from this
that the sWiftness of the current was
underestimated.
Late reports from Cornwall hospital
say 33 men have been taken out OF
the river and transferred to the hos.
pital. Eighteen of them have since
u1cu. L uc 1dteSU- INFORMATION makes
it probable that the death list will
reach 30. AS far as can be learned, 81
men were on the pay roll, of whom SO
reported for work Tuesday morning.
Of this list only So have actually been
accounted for. ;' ~:
Two spans Of the bridge collapsed,
the immense mass of timber and iron
dropped and the agonizing shrieks of
the men who were being crushed in the
wreck were drowned by the rushing
waters. Then the work of rescue be-
gan. This was helplessly inadequate,
there being only a few boats in the
vicinity and very few men who would
undertake to swim out into the tur-
bulent waters, Many who might have
been saved We're drowned before HELM
could reach them. Piteous appealing
faces sank beneath the waters before
the eyes of helpless on-lookers. Man
gled bodies came to the surface for q
moment and then passed out of sight.
It vas terrible and heartrending
scene: Even THOSE who were got to
land alive were in such condition that
many died on the way to the hospital.
Some had their bucks broken, Others
both legs, while others were crushed
by the heavy irons.

A SHORTAGE OF COAL AND VITUALS.
An OverweaninS Confidence an Pope and
Powers Caused the Proverbially IndO-

paratiOns to Sustain a Campaign.

LONDON, April - = ,iispasuI !" the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via
Paris, says:
Grave apprehens;ons ere enter
tanned in the highest government cir
cles that the issue of war may be de-
cided, not by valor and enthusiasm and
dogged perseverance, qualities ofwhich
the Spaniards possess an abundance,
but by reserves of coal and vituals, of
which they have made but scanty pro-
vision in Cuba. Ii appears that in
respect of coal in particular they are
worse off than they have hitherto i'm
agined.
1.-The Spanish government, firmly
believing down to the very last moment
that peace would be preserved through
the intercession of the pope and tls
Powers, neglected to lay in sufficient
provision of coal, despite the repre-
sentations made to them by one or two
far-seeing naval officers.
Besides this. it is believed they never
once inquired of the British or other
neutral governments whether coal
would be regarded as contraband of
war. The result is said to be a state
of things which may be fraught with
unpleasant surprises and bring hostili~
ties to Il premature end.
''Those in the secret We're anxious t.
overthrow the cabinet on other grounds
before the beginning of war, for pa.
triotic considerations forbade public
discussion of the country's weak point
on the eve of hoetilities. The short
time allowed for the deliberations of
parliament rendered this intention
difficult of execution. and the liberal
