Stomach-Was Easily Removed.
Chicago, August 3.-Little Frances
Nelson, one and one-half years old,
daughter of o. Nelson, merchant of
Schlessingerville, Wis, while playing
with hat pin six and one-half inches
long, few days ago, in some manner
managed to swallow it. The child was
brought to this city, where prominent
physicians gave it as their opinion that
it was an impossibility for such a
small child to swallow a hat pin and
live. But in order to satisfy the par
ents they suggested that the X-ray be
utilized. The child was taken to
Roentgen laboratory, where photo
graph of its stomach was taken. There

A SEVERE STORM.
UNPRECEDENTED Rainfall Floods Streets
and Cellars in Philadelphia.-.Street
Car Traffic Suspended.

Philadelphia, Pa, August 3.-The
excessive heat of the last three weeks
or more eliminated to-day in one OF
the most terrific electrical storms that
ever visited this city. The rain fall
was the heaviest in the history of the
local weather bureau. In one hour
and three quarters 5 4-10 inches of rain
fell. The heaviest rainfall was 1-5
inches in about twenty-four hours,
about twelve years ago. There was an
almost continuous flash of lightning,
aid many flag poles and buildings in
nearly every section of the city was
struck, causing small fires and doing
great damage Telegraphic and tele-
uhone service throughout the city was
practically at a standstill for several
hours. The cellars and first floors of
hundreds of business houses and
dwellings were flooded. In the base
ments of the city hall and post office
the water rose to such a depth that
the fires under the boilers were extin-
guished.
The Easements of Gimbel Brothers
and Wanamakers two of the largest
department stores in the city, were
flooded, and heavy damage was done.
The street car service was practic-
ally at a standstill Many of the
streets are flooded to a depth of two
and three feet. The steam roads in
this vicinity also suffered severely, and
nearly all trains up to o'clock were
behind their schedule
Peter Schell, aged twenty-eight
years, was drowned in the cellar of
his home, at Twenty-third and Chris
tian streets. He was working in the
cellar removing some of his property,
when he was caught by sudden rise
in the water Before he could reach
the stairway the water had risen to
the first floor, and he was drowned.
One of the large oil tanks of the
Atlantic Refining Company, at Gibson
Point, in the lower end Of the city,
was struck by lightning and entirely
destroyed by fire. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000 A number of fire.
men were overcome by the heat while
fighting the fire, but they were soon

THROUGH TO EUROPE.
Inventor of the Whaleback Thinks That
Glass of Boats Can Run Through the

Glass of Boats Can Run Through the
Canals.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, August g.
The largest whaleback ever built, the
steamer Alexander McDougall, has left
the slip at the barge works and gone to
the Missabe ore docks to load with 5000
tons of ore for her maiden trip down the
great lakes
Captain McDougall, the inventor of the
whaleback, is of the opinion that the
boats will soon be going direct from Su-
perior to Europe. He says:
Next year the new Canadian canal will
be opened and it will offer broader field
for lake carries. Boats carrying 1000 to
200 tons will be able to go direct from
Duluth to Montreal and Quebec, and
thence to England and European ports.
The new canal will permit of the passage
of a boat 212 feet long and drawing "a feet
of water. Vessels of this type can sail on
the lakes during the season of navigation
and can then go to the sea aud remain
there in commission all winter, when
freight rates on the ocean will demand it.
Within the next five years l expect to see
a fleet of at least 100 boats of this class
trading between Duluth and European

A FAMILY ROW.
The Princess of Wales Has Gone Home
to Her Mother--A Disagreement
With the Prince.

COPENHAGEN, August 3.-The reports
of the indispostion of Queen Louise of
Denmark, mother of the Princess of
Wales, are untrue. The visit of the
Princess of Wales, who starts for Copen-
hagen to-day. is perhaps earlier than eX-
pected, but a family reunion had been
arranged fog August. The Queen drove
out this afternoon.
LONDON, August 3.-There appears to
be some mystery in connection with the
departure of the Princess of Wales for
Copenhagen. 1t is semi-officially reaf-
firmed that her leaving England is due to
the Illness of her mother, the Queen of
Denmark; but two denials or her majes-
tvs illness have been received from CO.
penhasen and rumors are current that
the Princess has had another disagree
ment with the Prince of Wales, similar
to the quarrel which took place abroad
for some months in 1893.
She then threatened to summon a fam
lily council to meet at Copenhagen and to
expose the whole domestic situation.
Some support Is lent to the rumor of
the Queen of Denmark's sickness by a
telegram from Athens this afternoon say
ing that her son, the King of Greece,
leaves there at o'clock this afternoon for
Copenhagen in order to see his sick mo-
Their.

TYPHOID PATIENTS.

Atlanta, Ga, August 3.-One hun

brought from the camp at Tampa,
Fla, were landed at Fort Mcpherson
to-day by Major Tyler with his hos
pital train. Nearly every man aboard
the train had typhoid fever, and was
unable to rise from his berth, and with
few exceptions every man on the

time and many acts performed that are
incident to actual warfare.
1t is expected here that the Spanish
pledge to accept the broad conditions laid
down by the United States will take the
form of a written agreement, something
in the nature of a protocol, which, while
very necessary step in the negotiation
of treaty, is not always a part of the
document. The negotiations have not
progressed sufficiently to indicate who
shall be the parties to this agreement, or
rather who shall represent the principals,
the United States and Spain. 1t is posi-
Bile that it may be sigred in Washington
as between Secretary Day and NJ. Cam
bon, or on the other hand the ambassa-
doris of Spain and the United States in
one Of the European countries, probably
in this case France, might meet and hv
the authorization of their respective gov
ernments
SIGN THIS AGREEMENT
The protocol, i 1t might Re 80 called, in
either case would not take The place in
any manner of the ire ty Of peace which
would be drawn up later by commission
err; to be appointed for this purpose.
Under the terms of the Presidents nnte.
If they shall be accepted by Spain, TIE
Spanish government IS bound TO evacuate
Cuba and Porto Rico Immediately. This
action is not to wait upon the work of
the neace commissioners, but IS TO pre-
cede it and &. to follow Immediately upon
the signature of~the memorerdlol accom-
panying the Presidents conditions. The
word Immediately in this case - per-
haps a little deceptive. The experience
of the war department in the endeator to
remove to Spain the Spanish troops sGr-
rendered at. Santiago. has not justified
the expectation that the large force of
Spanish regulars caa be gathered up and
shipped home to Spain In ;ess than about
60 days, at least. This estimate is based
on the fact that it is not expected by the
Spanish troop transports that they VIII
be able to return all of the Spanish pris-
oners to Spain before the first of Septen-
Der Therefore, what is melnt by the
word Immediately" is that the Spanish
government shall at least begin the ar
rangements at once for The evacuation of
the islands.
On the whole it is 4, rather fortunate
circumstance that this evacuation can
not take place en- mas Sc and Immediately,
for it has been determined that the Span
ish troops withdrawn must be replaced
by United States TROOPS. This IS 1eemed
to be absolutely necessa y To guard
against anarchy and 70 secure the estab-
lishment of a stable form of government
in Cuba under proper constitutional guar
antees, but in all probability ret many OF
them will have to go thore before the

Havana, August 8. : The German

The free kitchens here have distri-

about $4,000 persons are being fed daily

Thereupon the Union Constitutional
says: IF the United States sincerely

SPANS sovereignty the most satisfac-

affairs about. We are convinced as to
the impossibility of discovering any
