Especial to The Herald.)

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 2S.-When the
brief cablegram was received here
about three weeks ago containing the
laconic announcement, Dante shot
dead" it was generally understood by
the theatrical world, and the impress
sion was current among theatre-goers,
that he had performed a risky feat
once to often. The general belief was
that Oscar Eliason, as he was known
to the people of Utah. or Dante. the
Ilusionist" to the greatest portion of
the public had been shot and killed
while performing that difficult trick he
often accomplished in the United
States of Catching bullets fired from
a rifle at close range.
This belief was wrong, however, for
such was not the way he met his fate.
According to advices received by the
Aorangi from Sydney, he was shot
while rabbit hunting on Nov. 20 and
died, from the effects of the wound re-
ceived, three days later.
Tt seems that while enjoying brief
rest before continuing his tour of the
Australian colonies, he and a party of
friends went up to the prairie country
in the vicinity of Dubbo a small coun-
try place not many miles distant from
Sydney, to have a few days rabbit
shooting, which, by the way, is ia
vorite pastime and one of which the
magician had become quite fond.
Fatal Hunting Trip.
The party had two days good sport,
having shot over all the country from
Dubbo to Mayfield, and were about to
return when the sad accident occurred.
The men were engaged in loading up
the buggy in which they intended TO
return to Dubbo, and Dante was
walking toward it with his gun and
some of the impedimenta of the ex-
petition. Suddenly someone shouted,
Look; rabbits" and a few of the party
ran 10 get shot.
George Jones, pianist of the Dante
company. was among the number, and
when running with his gun resting
across his arm, through some unknown
reason il was discharged. the charge
entering the groin of the magician. He
at once sank down to the ground and

party. did what he could, but he had
no instruments, eOne of the sportsman
took the buggy and drove as fast as
possible to a small way station, whence
a telegram was sent to DIR. Mccormick
of sydney, asking him to come at once.
The doctor secured a special from the
railway people, who. when they were
informed Of what had happened. did all
that they could to facilitate his jour-
ney.
Hoped For His Recovery.
He reached the scene of the accident
about four hours after the occurrence.
The wounded man was then in great
pain and had lost much blood. 1t was

held out hopes for his recovery.
That it was expected that the wound

fact that Mr.. Leach, the manager OF
Dante, although canceling all the en-
gagements until Christmas. made ar
engagements for his appearance at Bris-
bane during the holidays.
On the arrival of DR.. Mccormick,
the wounded magician was taken to

An Interesting Discussion
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-29

New York. Dee. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald. from Berlin says: The Lo-
kal Anzeiger publishes the contents of
the German English Portuguese secret
treaty. This double treaty will have
executive force as soon as the Swiss
jurists, Messrs. Blaesi, Hensler and
Goldau, have given a decision in the
Delagoa Bay arbitration.
The decision, it is expected, will be
given in January or February, and
will probably be in favor of England, in
which case Portugal must pay to Eng
larA and America an indemnity of e1,-
900, zee sterling.
England obtained in 1891 from Por-
tugal the right of presumption in Della
goa Bay, and the cession of Delagoa
Bay to England may. therefore, be ex-
pected in March next. 1t is possible
that President Kruger may now de-
clare war on Portugal and attack Del
agoa at once.
In order to prevent any interference
by France or Russia, England conclud-
ed a secret treaty with Germany re-
garding the complete partition of Por-
tuguese colonial possessions. Germany
is to receive all Portuguese possessions
in Asia-that is to say. Timor, Goa, Da-
maio, Macao and T>fu, with 10000
square mites of territory and 1,000,O 900
inhabitants.

What GERMANY Gets.

Germany further receives in Africa
all Portuguese territory north of Mo-
zambique except a strip of land three
miles wide for Mr.. Cecil Rhodes trans
African railway. For this the German
government will pay Portugal 25,000,OGO
marks.
The surprising part in the statement
of the -Lokal AnZeiger is that 1t refers
to Asia, when it has repeatedly been
asserted at the foreign office that the
treaty only refers to Africa, and did
not refer to Asia. It must, however,
be remembered that the Lokal An
zeiger was in a position TO publish tie
Samoa treaty twenty-four hours before
the official publication took place.
England receives the remaining
African possessions of Portugal, when
contain 100000 square kilometres, and
have 100000 inhabitants. The con-
sent of Portugal to this arrangement
has already been obtained in principle

fsneciaI TO The Herald,

Boston, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The original
ten days limit covering deposits of
United States Mining shares with the
Old Colony Trust company expired to-
day. The committee having the mat
ter in charge will order an extension
of ten days.
Up to the present time progress in
pooling has been much slower than
had been hoped. At the latest canvass
only $4,000 shares have been deposited,
leaving 49,, GOO shares which have not as
sented OF this amount possibly 10000
shares are held by the fifty
different banks in this city and
throughout this section. Thus
far the banks have signified no special
desire to come into the plan. although
they have not definitely gone on rec
ord as saying that they would not. In
dividuals hold approximately $1,000
shares of the stock.
Manager Neill of the United States
Mining company, who arrived from
the west several days ago, has not yet
been called upon by the committee to
furnish his testimony as to the value
of the territory owned by the COM
pany.
Objections of Banks.
A new phase in the situation devel-
oped at the meeting of brokers held
yesterday afternoon. The meeting was
a small one, and only a few of the more
important banks were represented.
Counsel for these banks objected par
ticularly to the provision in the agree
ment that allowed the pooling commit
tee to dispose of the shares at any fig
ure. They contended that the property,
despite present conditions, was a valu-
able one, and that a fixed price should
be demanded at which the pooling COM
mittee could dispose of the stock.
Counsel for the firms in the pooling
committee admitted the force of the
arguments presented by the bank men,
and it is understood that they will con-
suit with the firms and arrange for a
new agreement, fixing the price for alb
solute disposal of the property at a
figure satisfactory to the banks. If
this is agreed upon. the banks will de-
post their holdings. with the pooling
committee.
