A COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS
TREATMENT ADMINISTERED TO
AN ILLINOIS DOCTOR.
Compelled to Marry the Girl He
Ruined and Threatened His
Father-in-law's Life.

St. Louis, Aug. ga special to the
Post Dispatch from Carrollton. ILL.,,
says:
Dr. l. C. Davis has been horse
whipped. tarred and feathered and
driven out o. this city by indignant
citizens.
DR.. Davis came to this city about two
years ago as the representative of an
Indianapolis sanitarlum. He became
acquainted with Miss Maude Hensier,
the daughter of Mr.. John HenSler,
Well-known wagon maker and black
smith After he kept the girls COM
pany nearly a year they disappeared
and on returning reported themselves
married. They took up their residence
in Alton, where a child was born. MI.
Hensler, on making an investigation,
discovered that they had not been mar
ried. He had Davis arrested and COM
PEELED him to marry his daughter Since
then 1enSler claims Davis has been
extorting money from him by threat
ening to take his life.
Davis raised a disturbance, IIensler
had him arrested and locked in tie
county Jail. On his si@ning an agree
ment to leave tie city. Hensler de-
clined 20 prosecute him and he was
released. Instead of leaving he re-
turned to the Hensler residence last
night. Being afraid of him, Hensler
had him again arrested and locked up

cred him. His life was spare on the
promise that he would leave the city.

CERvERA MADE A BIG MISTAKE
SPANIARDs SHOULD HAVE RE-
MANNED At SANTIAGO.
Commander Clark's Views On the
Naval Battle-At Least One Span
ish Cruiser Could Have Escaped.

New York, Aug. 26.-"Cervera should
have STAYED in Santiago harbor for
ever. rather than come out the way he
did, was the solemn remark of Cap
tain Charles H. Clark, lately of the bat
tIeship Oregon.
THE fleet was a fortress. With his
guns he could have driven the United
States army away from shore until
such time as il could mount 1O-lnch
guns to sink his ships. He was master
of the situation and should have hung
on until every last member OF ms
ships' crews died of absolute starva-
ton Then would he have been a real
hero-an eternal figure IN history.
''Think os the chances in his favor.
yellow fever might have come and de-
cimated the American ranks. A gale
might have broken loose on the Carrl-
bean sea that would have scattered our
ships TO the four winds of heaven, att
er which Cervera could have sailed
away without opposition and returned
to his native land indicated.
Captain Clark is at the marine hos
Dital, where he proposes to rest for
few days until his family shall have
arrived from Michigan. He is merely
suffering from a temporary allment,
brought on by the low fever and long
continued sea diet.
What are the lessons of the Santl-
ago fight?" he was asl 81.
First, smokeless poN, der; second, no
woodwork on warships. The Spaniards
were burned uD."
What is your opinion about the
scuttling OF the Spanish ships after
their surrender"
1T WIS wrong, and in violation of
every principle OF good faith, on the
part ot a conquered foe, replied the
captain. THE men who did those acts
forfeited their right to be protected,
and ought to have been shot then and
there. Scuttling a ship after surrender
is treachery. l do not believe that Ad-
IniraI Cervera gave orders for anything
of the kind. No, no, he is gentleman.
irresponsible men committed the out
rage"
How did the speed of the Spanish
ships in action compare with that
promised by their builders?'
1.-The vessels certainly came out with
a rush and in fine style" said Captain
Clark, "but they failed to maintain
their speed, owing to the inefficiency
of their stokers or the neglected con-
dition ot their machinery. That rush
of Cervera's was really one of the fin
est things of history and had the ships
divided. at least one might have got
away. There was no promo 1itory symp-
ton. not a sign that the fleet was COM
ing"

MYSTERIOUS BILLY WON.
Matty Matthews Had Enough In
Fourteen Rounds.

New York, Aug. 2S.-"Mysterious"
Billy Smith met Matty Matthews be-
fore the Lenox Athletic club tonight
and outfought and outgeneraled his
opponent five to one. Smith was the
aggressor throughout the fight, and at
the end of the fourteenth round Mat
thews seemed TO have had enough.
From this time to the end of the con-
test Matthews adopted sprinting tao
tics in order to last the limit. which
he succeeded in doing.
The opening bout. between Joe Burke
of Brooklyn and Eddie Morris (colored)
of California, was to have been of ten
rounds duration, but was stopped at
the end of the third round. In the
first round each scored a knockdown.
1t was anybody's fight up to the end
of the third round, when Morris hit
his opponent a very hard blow very
low on the body. Referee White stopped
the fight and disqualified Morris for
fouling. Burke was declared winner,
and he was cheered as he left the
ring.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Reaction In the Market and De-
crease In Activity.

New York, Aug. 6.-Bradstreet's
review tomorrow will say: Reaction
airy tendencies marked the early part
of the week, the market also showing
a decrease of activity and a falling off
of the recent public interest in Specu-
lation. a firmer tone and a renewal
OF the advapcipg tendencies, has, now
ever. appeared in the last two days.
There has been no positive news of
an unfaVorable character. apart from
rumors that warm weather was in
juring the corn crop at the west, and
hardening of the money market,
which latter circumstance is partially
offset by the easier tendency in rates
of exchange. The depression may, &C
cordingly be charged partly to the
heated term. partly to the temporary
falling off of public interest and partly
to professional spectators realizing
on their purchases. There was also re-
newed evidence of bearish manipula-
ton, and the sharp decline Of Manhat-
tan. which was one of the features of
the week was generally charged to
that cause. It's subsequent firnness
and recovery also seemed to represent
covering of a short interest in it. While
a few stocks, notably Northern Pa
cific. were exceptionally strong, the
general list SaGged off under realizing
apparent in the granger and other
portions of the list that have recently
made such marked advances. London,
while sending prices higher, has on the
whole been seller of our stocks on
balance. The bond list is strong.
though its features have been mainly
cheap specialties-lilze Texas Pacific,
second incomes and Standard Rope &
Irvine securities, in all Of which mark
ed advances have been scored.
Government bonds have not been as
active, as the demand for the older
issues has slaekened and fractional
recessions have been recorded in some
cases. The new 8 per cents, after
touching 1.O51s, also receded to ]. O52s on
sales of allotments by subscribers for
amounts up to $4,000, which this week
received notice of acceptance.

compiled by Rradstreet shows fne
bank clearings at 50 cities for the week
ended Aug; p, with the percentage of in
crease and decrease as compared with
the corresponding week last year:

THE VANDERBILT LUCK.

Newport. R. l., Aug 26.-Pluck and
luck saved William K. Vanderbilt, jr
from being drowned in Newport har-
Dor, where his half-rater was caught
in a nasty squall and went over

captain in the water. They managed
to right the little boat and clambered
aboard again, but twice afterward she

he would come out of the squat alive

panion, was pretty we'll done for, but
the sight of help corning to them en-

TROUBLE in SAMOA.
Disagreement Between the United
States and Germany.


New York, Aug ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Trouble is brewing over the Samoan
lands which, under the treaty of 1890,
are governed under a joint protector
ate by the United States, Germany and
Great Britain. Correspondence is
now in progress by the United States
and Germany that may lead to serious
friction. Recently the municipal coun-
Gil OF the di:trict of Apia became in
volVed in a dispute over a proposition
to extend municipal boundaries of
the district which were laid down in
the treaty of 1880. The chief justice. a
man recommended by the United
States, decided in favor of extending
the boundaries. The result was to in
clude the property of certain Germans
and TO subject them to higher taxation.
The German government protested, on
the ground that the chief justice had
exceeded his powers.
The reply of the United States was
that though the action of the judge
might not have been strictly in ac-
cordance with the treaty, it was
similar to action taken by a former
chief justice, who was nominated by
Germany, and that in view of the
precedent, it ought to stand, or the
treaty ought W Ue l1CulHCu SO DIS 10
provide for such contingencies. 1t
was strongly insisted that the United
States was entitled to equal rights
with Germany.
Germany, in reply, admitted that if
the precedent was right, the present
action of the chief justice ought to
stand, but she has not decided to con-
sent to a modification of the treaty by
an exchange of notes. 1t is thought
probable that there will have to be
eventually a new committee to frame
new treaty and il so, it is not i'm
probable that Germany will then pro-
pose the partition of the islands This
the United States will not consent to.
Great Britain has always taken
rather passive interest in Samoan af-
fairs. but there is no doubt that her
influence will, in the future as in the
past, be thrown ON the side of the
United States.

HOAR FOR AMBASSADOR.
Massachusetts, Senator May Succeed
Ambassador Hay at London.


Boston, Aug. 26.-The Journals
Washington correspondent says: If
George II. Homer will consent to ac-
cept an appointment as ambassador at
the court of St James, the appoint
ment will probably be made. The pres
ident is seriously thinking of asking
the senior senator from Massachusetts
to take the place which will be soon
vacated by Ambassador Hay, and he
is restrained only because of mis- reluc-
lance to remove Senator Hoar from
his present position. 1t is hardly like
ly that Senator HOar would be willing
to abandon the senate after SO ma
years to enter the diplomatic service,
involving the formation of ties and the
acceptance of strange conditions, but
the president has thought that he
would be the ideal representative in
London at the time when the relations
between the United States and Great
Britain have become so close and the
duties of ambassador are to be pecul-
iarly delicate and important.
Senator Hoar is the one American
who. could, without great wealth, main
tain the prestige of an ambassador in
London. for he is almost the only
American who is so we'll known and
highly regarded that he could safely
live as he liked. The one thing which
causes the president to hesitate is that
he has not already sounded the sena-
tor on the subject, and is unwilling to
take him out of the senate

Beginning to Boil In the Outside
Counties.
ROBERTS SAVING WOOD
WHEN OTHER CANDIDATES
WERE UNSUSPECTING.
How the Democrats and Silver Re
publicans of Eastern Utah Feel
About the Proposed Union of Re
publican Factions-Party Calls
Made-New Candidates.

Ephraim. Aug. 26.-Political interest in
this section now centers in the contest
for the nomination for member of con-
gress. 1t would raise the hair of some of
the other candidates could they but know
the force the Roberts wave is gathering
IN its sweep through this county.
Roberts was the political idol of the
Democracy of this section until he went
back on the stand he made in the famous
reconvened convention. That action lost
him many of his best friends.
An amusing feature of the contest is the
fact that while the other candidates have
haQ their friends to push them forward
Roberts was very industriouSly saving
wood by addressing private letters to his
friends all over the state ASKING their
support. Many of these letters have
reached friends of MIR. Roberts in this
county and they are greatly aiding the
sentiment in his favor.

buttons:
Resolved, By the United Typo
thetae of America, that this body does

Resolved, That the secretary of this
convention be instructed to forward
copies of these resolutions to the presi-
dent of the Printing Freshmen and
Assistants union, and Mr.. George w.
Harris. chairman of the committee ap-
pointed by the International Typo
graphical union.
Resolved. That a committee of
five be appointed by the convention,
to whom shall be referred the ques-
ton as to what measure if any can
be adopted by the employing printers
which will give a shorter work day
practicable without endangering undue
loss upon the employers AID that this
committee be authorized to confer with
the representatives of the International
PreSSmenS and Assistants union and
International Typographical union and
such other similar organizers as it
may deem proper"

ports, the most important being that
of the committee on use of the union

the enforced printing of the union la
bel on public printing matter, national,

constitutional rights of the individual
and is class legislation.

and prosecute a test case on printing
