FIRST CLAIM OF THE KIND.
Great Britain VIII Ask for Indem-
nifty for the killing of One of
Her Subjects at Manila.

Chicago, April "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: With
in the next two weeks this govern
ment will be asked by Great Britain to
indemnify the family of British sub
ject, named Simpson, who was killed
during the battle at Manila February
%. Simpson, who represented an En-
glish paper house, was accidentally
shot. He was looking out of the win
dow of his house when the battle was
in progress, and being dressed in
white clothing he was mistaken for Il
Filipino. This viii be the first claim
of the kind growing out of the Span
ish war and the operations in the Phil
ippines.Wh the facts are presented to
the state department it is believed
the justice of the claim will be ac-
acknowledged, and congress will be
asked to make an appropriation, as
there is no fund at the disposal of the
department to meet such cases.

DOMINION'S ALLEGED ARMY.
Gen. Hutton. the New Commander,
Declares That it is Not Worthy
the Name of Army.

Buffalo, \. Y, April "a special
from Quebec says: 1t is now publicly
admitted that the Dominion of Canada
is without defenses, and has no army
worthy of the name. This statement
is made upon the authority of the head
of the supposed army, the general
who commands it. Gen. Hutton is a
first class imperial officer. who has
seen active service in various parts of
the empire, notably in Egypt, where
he has served with Gordon, Sir Evelyn
Wood and Kitchener. He has been
newly appointed to the command of
the Canadian forces, and his first Of
fetal report upon the condition of the
supposed army has created more that
a mild sensation, both in military,
civil and political circles in Canada.
The general declines to speak of the
force at all as an army. In fact, he
declares that it is not an army.

STOCK TOO MUCH DILUTED.
Trust to Effect Organization by
Reason of Too Much Water.

East Liverpool, o., April 3.-The
American Potteries Co.. the name Civ
en- to the proposed $27,oOO,OoO trust, to
include all the potteries of the United
States, is dead. The projectors, it is
said, spent $25o,Ooo in trying to effect
an organization, but failed because
of over-capitalization. They could not
persuade investors to buy stock. Tt is
said the property to be included was
intrinsically worth $7,O00,OO0, but had
been appraised for sale to the trust at
$4,000, 900. The trouble arose in con-
vincing investors that dividends could
be paid on $15,000,00O more than the
high valuation. The options here ex-
pired midnight, Saturday, and will not
be extended.

1t has been known tor some time that
ID. D. Sturgeon had a number of the
largest steers in Wayne county. Some
Of them were about eight years old and
had been fattened for the market as
many as three different times. To see
them grazing in the field they
had somewhat the appearance Of a
herd Of elephants. The buyers and Mr..
Sturgeon never could come to an
agreement regarding the price of them,
SO Mr.. Sturgeon shipped As head on
last Sunday morning. They were
weighed at the depot and were said to
average 1870 pounds each. They were
SO large that only fifeteen could be
crowded into car. The singular part
of it is that among the lot were a
number Of Jerseys and the Jerseys were
among the largest steers. The above
steers brought 81 cents per pound or
800 per head above all xpenses.-Cory.
