Total Is Not So Heavy as Had Been
Expected.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-The British
commissioner to Samoa, Mr.. Eliot, has
received from Apia a full report on the
claims made by British subjects for dam
ages resulting from the bombardment,
and the native uprising. The claims ag-
gregate something above $1,000. Of this
amount about $4,000 grows out of the de-
precautions of the Mataafa rebels in jan
uary and March last, while some e1,00O
is Tor losses resulting from the lombard
ment of the British-American naval
forces and the succeeding operations on
land.
There are a large number of separate
claims, showing the damage to have been
widely distributed. A claim of eS4O for
the sacking of a residence near Apia and
the destruction of a cocoa plantation,
gives an idea of the wanton destruction
OF a cocoa plantation, gives an idea Of
the Wanton destruction characterizing the
native uprising.

ST. PAUL MAN IN TROUBLE.
j. F. bishop, Who Two Years Ago
Removed to Tacoma.

TACOMA, Sept, 81. f. Bishop came
mere from st. Paul two years ago with
his wife and took a position as. a conii-
dental clerk for w. II. Remington a
Northern Pacific railway contractor.
Bishop. 1t is alleged, gambed at every
opportunity and finally forged Reming-
tons name to obtain money Last week
he was confronted with proofs of his
acts and made no attempt to deny the
theft. So far his forgeries are said to
aggregate $1,000. Bishops wife pleaded
for him and Remington agreed not to
prosecute. but gave Bishop $500 to get
out of town. This also went over the
gambling table and then Mrs Bishon
gave him what funds she had and he left
for Spokane. Mrs. Bishop turned over
her household effects to Remington and
tonight left with her three children for
st. Paul where her parents reside.

John Cunningham Asphyxiated
in a Chicago Hotel.
BODY HAS BEEN SHIPPED
Aud Will Arrive in the City Tonight
The Boys Parents Reside
in Centerville

John Cunningham, a Butte boy who
had some local fame as a Jockey. and who
is known to horsemen as "Mortimer''
Cunningham, was asp1yxlated in a Chi
ago hotel Saturday, a brief mention of
the unfortunate occurrence having been
made in the Inter Mountain several days
ago.
The body has been shipped from Chi
ago and is now en- route to this city for
interment. It is expected to arrive this
evening. The funeral will take place from
Sherman's undertaking rooms at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
The dead boys parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Patrick Cunningham, reside at No. l12
Nina street, Ce%nterville. John Quinn, a
conductor on the Oregon Short Line rail-
road, is a brother-in-law of the deceased.
Before going to Chicago the boy worked
for a time on the Bitter Root stock farm.
Very little is known concerning the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
Cunningham. The Chicago Inter Ocean
of Sunday contained the following:
MORTIMER Cunningham, a stable boy,
II years old, and Sidney Bender, 40 years
old, also employed as a stable hand at
the Harlem race track, We're asphyxiated
by gas yesterday morning in a room at
the New Era hotel, No. II Clark street.
Both were well known at the local race
tracks, n We're employed by Lockhart
& Maley, horse owners, and also did work
for Jim Hand, an owner.
A 1890 o'clock Bender, accompanied
by the boy, appeared at the hotel and ap-
piled for a room. Clerk Lauberach says
he noticed they were intoxicated, and as
signed them to a room on the first floor.
He lighted the gas for them, and before
leaving cautioned them to turn it out be-
fore retiring. At 10 o'clock a chamber
maid, in passing the room occupied by the
men, noticed a strong odor of escaping
gas. She informed Clerk Lauberach, who
went to the room and found Bender ly-
ing on the floor and Mortimer Cunning
nam on the bed. Life, to all appearances,
was extinct in both, and the police We're
notified.
IAN investigation showed that Cum
ningham was dead, and his body was re-
moved to the morgue. Bender still
breathed, and he was hurried to st.
Luke's hospital, where he died five min
utes after his arrival. The only means
of identification We're badges of admis-
sion to the Harlem race track, attached
to the lapels of their coats. The names
on the cards were "Lockhart" n Ma
ley" Men employed by the horse own
ers were summoned to Rolston's UNDER
taking rooms and identified both.
"When the room was entered it was
noticed that the gas was turned on full.
and to all appearances the light had been
blown out. Mortimer Cunningham APP
peared at the local race racks on diff
ferent occasions. He was well thought of
by his employers, and was promised a
chance to ride more often next season.
His home was in Montana. Bender lived
in San Francisco. An inquest will be held
tomorrow"

THE COURSING STAKES.

The champion stake arranged for next
Sunday at West Side park did not fill,
so it has been decided to make an ordi-
nary stake for Sunday at $3.50 each,
open to any number. The draw for this
stake will take place Saturday night at
s O'Clock. 1t seems there are not enough
champions whose owners want to buckle
up against n another. Nine entries
were received, but five of them were from
one Kennel, which would not make a
very fair proposition.
For Sunday. the 9th, there will be a
stake for saplings and one for puppies.
saplings whelped on and after August l,
and puppies whelped IN and after Feb
ruary !, 1898, will be eligible.
