STORM ON GREAT LAKES.
Steam Barge Founders and Fears For
Many Boats.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-During a severe
wind and rain storm this evening. the
steam barge Cleveland, laden with 10O..
600 feet of lumber, sunk in the harbor
near the mouth of the Chicago river
Captain Henry Davis and a crew OF
eleven men were rescued by tugs with
considerable difficulty
The Cleveland left Frankfort. Mich.
Saturday. She sprung a leak off Wau-
kegan and, owing to her water-logged
condition, was driven on a reef while
attempting to reach the inner harbor
here. The vessel was built thirty years
ago.
The life-saving crews of Jackson
park, Chicago and Evanston, were sum
moned on a dozen different errands to
rescue pleasure seekers on yachts re-
ported to be in distress Many boats
had rough experiences and two were
missing late at night.
A score of small sailing craft in the
inner basin suffered severely after their
owners had abandoned them. several
being overturned by the violence of the
wind
The yachts Prairie and June, which
left on cruises early in the day, had not
returned to their mornings up TO mid
night. The former is a staunch craft
and is supposed TO have found shelter
on the Michigan shore. Fears are. en-
tertained that the June, which is less
seaworthy, may have foundered Some
anxiety is also felt for the tug Dorr
from Michigan City, with two scows
in tow

FROM THE EDMONTON TRAIL
NUMBER OF SURVIVORS AR
RIVE AT WRANGEL. ALASKA.
Two Were From Montana and One
From Boise, Idaho-Report Terri
BILE Hardships.

Wrangel. Alaska, Sept 20 (via Seat
tie, Wash, Sept. 24)-More Klondikers
off the Edmonton trail reached here
Sunday. having come down the Stikeen
river from Glenora in canoes. They
were Hudson Calvert, Montana; Ger
man Luhi, Wisconsin; Peter Ries, Wis
consin; Joseph II. Wilson, Boise City,
Ida; Thomas Kerr, Colorado; Ralph N.
Grey, California; William A. Wood, San
Francisco; Oscar Ames, Oregon; John
fallen, Minneapolis; John F. Hoskins,
Butte Mont
All these survivors We're in good
months laboring on the Cassiar Central
which to reach the states.
John fallen was member Of the
Minnehaha party from Minneapolis,
the frightful trail last winter. Hudson
Calvert was one of a party of five that
left Montana twenty-five months ago.
Two of this party passed through here
two weeks ago. Joe Lamb of Butte,
Mont, is still on Peace river, suffering
from scurvy. Frank Haynes is i'll at
Lizard Post. This party, with pack
horses, left Edmonton about nineteen
months ago and wintered or the Mud
river, where the snow was ten feet deep
for four months. Provisions ran low
and the remaining six horses were killed
for food
There are still few on the trail, and
as navigation closes on the Stikeen in
about six weeks, it is likely that they
will pass the winter at Dease lake.

REBELS HAVE BIG GUNS.
Important Fact Disclosed By the Re-
cent Bombardment.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Acting Secre-
tary Allen of the navy department re-
seived cablegram from Rear Admiral
Watson today giving brief account OF
the engagement at Subig bay. 1t is
dated the oath, at Manila, and says:
.Mandora discovered heavy gun
mounted opposite Kalaklan point, SUI
big bay; exchanged shots with Charles
ton Sent Charleston, Monterey, Con-
cord and Zafiro with detachment of
marines and sailors from Baltimore to
capture and destroy. Attacked insur-
gent position 23rd; after bombardment,
landing party carried entertainments,
dispossessed enemy and DESTROYED one
sixteen centimetre Krupp gun
Casualties: William Shepherd, ap-
prentice. second class, Charleston, Sc
riously wounded; Charles Haffke, coal
passer, Concord, heat prostration.
.Insurgent fire heavy, but poorly act
ed; enemies loss unknown. a report
mailed"
The important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to obtain
Krupp guns. 1t was known at the time
of the outbreak of the insurgents
against the Americans that the art1l-
lery of the insurgents consisted of a
few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards.
Acting Secretary Allen says that it is
evident the navy at Manila does not
intend to allow any fort to be erected
by the insurgents which can be reached
by the ships, and he is convinced that
the squadron under Rear Admiral Wat
son will be able to keep the shores
guarded and repeat the lesson OF yes
ferday if the insurgents are found to be
operating on the coast.

CONDITION OF Mr.. HOBART
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PRESIDE
OVER NEXT SENATE.
His Ailment May Also Prevent His
Being McKinley's Running Mate
Again.

New York. Sept. 24.-The Press says:
1t is possible that Vice President Ho-
bart may be unable TO preside at the
next session of the United States SEN
ate. More than that, it is now recog-
nized as a serious probability that he
viii not be in physical condition to ac-
cept nomination as running mate of
president Mckinley in the next cam
paign.
The disease from which Mr. Hobart
suffers is a kidney trouble, not acute,
but of form requiring absolute rest
for long time. The fact has been
known to his friends, but this is the
hrst announcement that his illness is
so serious as to threaten an actual
withdrawal from the duties of his pub
lie position.
This illness began with an attack of
the grip in Georgia last spring. He re-
turned thence to Washington, where ne
suffered relapse, being confined to his
house for several weeks. Then he went
to Long Branch and recovered suffi-
GENTLY to join his friend, the president,
during part of his outing at Lake
Champlain.
Since his return last Tuesday to his
home in Paterson, Carroll Hall, the vice
president has not visited his office in
the Savings bank building. II is said
he can make no effort without exhaust
ion. His private secretary says:
The trouble with Mr.. Hobart is that
as soon as he feels strong enough to
work he pitches in so hard that he
makes himself i'll again.
1t is now nearly six months since the
vice president, despite long periods of
rest, has been able to devote time con-
tinuouSly to business

MORE SCOPE TO WORK.
Chicago Civic Federation Wants a
National Organization.


Chicago, Sept. 24.-The executive
committee of the civic federation OF
Chicago has authorized its president,
Franklin H. Head, to appoint a COM
mittee of twenty-five to organize a
national civic federation. The commit
tee is to be composed of men repre-
Senting different sections of the coun-
try and different phases of social and
economical questions of the day The
object of such an organization is stat
ed to be TO provide for a thorough dis
cussion and consideration of questions
OF national Importance, affecting either
the foreign or domestic policy of the
United States; to aid in the crystal
lization of the most enlightened public
sentiment in the country in respect
thereto, and to promote necessary leg
islation in accordance Herewith. The
leaders of the civic federation have
contemplated this move for some time,
deeming it essential if national work
were to become anything more than
educational
In January, 1898, the Chicago civic
federation called a national conference
on primary elections and municipal re-
form, which was held in New York.
and was attended by representatives
OF over forty of the largest cities of
lnt OnIleu states. Inc impetus given
to primary election reform resulted in
both New York and Illinois securing
new laws at the following sessions of
their respective legislatures But be-
yond this and the publication and dis
tribution of proceedings, the Chicago
federation has found it impracticable
to go.
In August 1893. it called at Saratoga
a national conference on the foreign
policy of the United States, which. af-
ter two days of animated debate by the
leading men of all parties, unanimous
ly agreed upon some broad principles
which called for further effort to rem
der it of permanent value to the coun-
try. This work could not be followed
by the Chicago organization
The four days trust conference re-
Gently held in Chicago was not ex-
pected to agree upon general principles.
but it was believed the free discussion
by representatives of so many schools
of thought would furnish material and
basis of more thorough work here
after. 1t is to make it possible to fol-
low up the practical lines Suggested bv
the conference that the national civic
federation is projected.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 24.-Phil Carr, a
desperate who has figured in Several
shady deals over the west, was killed
at ranch near Divide this morning.
by Sheriff Pyle of Beaverhead county.
The authorities learned that Carr and

ranch. Sheriff Pyle and a posse started
out TO capture them. Sheriff Pyle went
TO the tent in which the desperadoes
were sleeping and pointing his rifle I'M
der the flap Of the tent ordered the men
to surrender. The sheriff in poking the
rifle in, accidentally drew his thumb
across the hammer Of the gun, thus ex-
ploding the cartridge.
After the gun had been discharged
the officer rushed in and again COM
manded the men to throw up their
hands.
Mines up yelled Cohn.
where's your partner, Carr de-
manded the officer.

clean off, . was the reply.
Sheriff Is Sorry.
1t was not daylight and the sheriff
was then given the first intimation of
the havoc his accidentally discharged
gun had wrought. The sheriff told
members of the posse that he would
would not have killed the man for any
amount of money.
1--WE knew that Carr and Coan were
desperate characters" said he in a
conversation with a reporter this af-
ternoon, from experiences of officers
of Silver Bow and Beaverhead coun-
ties in the past, and did not propose to
take any chances with them and it was

Il was holding mS gun in my hands
and the stock was not even at my
shoulder. If the muzzle Of the gun had
been held quarter of an inch higher
/ would have missed him. L was per-
fectly cool and cannot account for my
thumb slipping from the hammer of the
rifle"
Cohn was brought to Butte and on
the train some one asked him why he
had not given himself up long ago. He
replied that he had never intended to
be known by any of the officers. Sher-
if Pyle is not censured for this unwill-

Fighting Is Resumed Between Mex
leans and the Yaquis.
MANY LIVES ARE LOST
THE INDIANS PUT UP A DEs-
PERATE RESISTANCE.
In One Encounter They Left Eighty
seven Braves Dead On the Field.
While the Loss of the Mexicans
Was Fourteen Killed and Thirty
six Wounded.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. 24.-Official
reports of two battles between Next
cans and Yaquis have just been re-
ceived here. General Luis Torres had
declared the campaign suspended until
October, but the Yaquis were not con-
suited OH that point Lorenzo Torres
also appears to have made different
arrangements.
On Sept. IA Lorenzo Torres crossed
the river to Vicam, a town supposed to
nave been captured by Luis Torres in
August, and found the Indians. They
attacked his rear guard and running
night ensued. The report says the In
dams were dispersed and nine killed
The Mexican loss was five killed and
nine wounded, among the latter Lieu
tenant Colonel Navarreo of the Elev-
enth battalion, one of the best officers
on the Mexican side.
The report of a. battle on the 18th
comes from another source also official,
and its statements of the number killed
may be accepted. According to this
report, the forces under Colonel Her.
nandez, number not stated, encountered
1000 Indians near Lake Zaquaca, a
small lagoon between TORN and Potam
Many Were Killed.
The Indians retired from the open
field and sought cover in the thick
woods. where the combat ragged for
more than two hours. beginning at 6
O'Clock in the morning. The report says
the Indians were defeated and dis
persed, leaving on the field eighty-seven
dead. The Mexican losses are stated as
fourteen soldiers killed and thirty-six
wounded.
Major Ruiz of the national guard was
mortally wounded, and Julian Esponza,
captain of the Yaquis who are friendly
to the Mexicans, and Tetebias, a lieu
tenant in the ten years war, were
killed.
An interesting feature of the reports
is the statement that several inhabit-
ants of river towns taken prisoner by
the Yaquis in July, have been released
and have returned to headquarters in

HOLE In SHIPS BOTTOM.
Transport Leelanaw Arrives at San
Francisco Looking Badly.

San Francisco, Sept, 24.-The United
States transport Leelanaw came into
port today with the pumps steadily at
work to overcome the effect of a hole
in the ships bottom.
The Leelanaw sailed for Manila on
Sept. 2 with a cargo of commissary
stores and 200 horses for amy use. At
ter leaving this port, distemper was
developed among the horses and so
many of the animals died that the Lee
lanaw put into Honolulu and landed
there the commissary stores and the
surviving horses.
The transport then started on the
return trip to this city. During the
three days prior to reaching this port
so thick and constant was the fog
that no observations could be taken,
and having lost her bearings, the Lee
lanaw struck reef near Montana
twenty miles south of this port, last
evening. She was for five hours stuck
fast on the rocks and when she finally
foated off at high tide, it was found
that the jagged rock had torn a hole
in her bottom.
1t will be necessary for the Leelanaw
to go on the dry dock for a consider
able overhauling. In addition to the
leak, the vessel was badly strained by
her experience on the reef

weeks session. During the term. be-
sides the local bar, there were in at
tendance Judge John A. Street of Salt
Lake. J. A. Bagley and Alfred Bulge
of Montpelier and Judge NJ. c. Brown

Filipino Town Bombarded For Three
Hours BY Americans.
DESTROY SHORE BATTERY
VICIOUS FIGHT PUT UP BY THE
INSURGENTS.
Their Aim Was Good and One Shot
Came Very Close to the Smoke
stack of the Monitor Monterey
Rebel Cannon Blown Up By Gun
Cotton.

Manila, Sept. 24.-The United States
cruiser Charleston, the monitor Monte
reg and the gunboats Concord and Ia
fro, with marines and bluejackets from
the cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite Sept
10 and, as already cabled, proceeded to
Subig bay to destroy an insurgent can
non there. Owing to the bad weather
! the operation was postponed until yes
! terday, when the swarships for three
hours bombarded the town of Olangapo
and the entertainments where the gun
was situated.
! Men from the Charleston, Concord
and cairo were then landed under a
| heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon, which was utterly destroyed
by guncotton, and then returned to the
warships. The Americans had one man
wounded during the engagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for better
weather, the Americans deserted Fill
pino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. AT $40 a. m. yesterday, the
Monterey began to advance upon the
town, which was about, three miles east
of the monitors anchorage. The Char
lesion, Concord and Zafiro followed.
At 7:25 the Monterey opened fire with
her secondary battery and main batter
les. the Charleston and Concord join
ing Immediately At 1888 the insurgent
cannon answered, the first shot passing
close to the Monterey's smokestack.
The gun was fired twice only.
Was Heavy Bombardment.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $50 the Monterey ad-
vanced to a range of 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 800 yards
east of the cannon at IL o'clock under
a severe Mauser fire. The men from the
Charleston were the first to reach the
beach, but the Concord's men were the
first at the gun, which they reached at
n:10. The cannon was found to be
sixteen centimetre Krupp gun, presum-
ably obtained from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued to
shell the shelving beach on the east and
west side to silence the insurgent fire
upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded fifty rounds
of guncotton in three discharges in the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the warships.
The Americans then returned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept up
to protect the embarkation. The Con-
cords men were the last to reach the
shore, and the warships were reached
at 1850.
Did Excellent Work.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord's
launch, armed with Calling, did ex-
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Captain Myers of the marines
captured Misunderstanding field piece.
Lieutenant Mcdonald was in COM
mand of the landing party, and the
movement was splendidly executed and
controlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained, and no dead
were SEEM
The Monterey fired for four hours
twenty-one shots from her ten-inch
guns and seventeen from her twelve
inch guns. The town, which was rid

points.
