HUNDRED
RACE WITH DEATH
Hair-Raising Spectacle in Niagara
River Gorge-Great Ice Bridge
Broke Loose.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, Jan. 23.-
While nearly 100 persons were on the
great ice bridge in the gorge of the
Niagara river, the ice mass was broken
loose from the banks at either end.
There were thousands of Sunday sight
seers in the parks and upon the upper
arch enjoying the beauty of the chrystal-
like structure. They heard the cracking
of the ice and saw the great mass as it
was moving by the swift current of the
river, and hundreds shouted warning to
those on the bridge.
Some of these Yenturesome persons
had only gone a short distance from the
river bank, while others were out in the
center of the bridge and were crossing
the river. Those near the end soon
found safety, but further out toward
the center were number of small boys.
Before they were fairly started for'the
shore the great bridge was loosened from
it's fastenings. Then it became race
for life, but the youngsters, amid wild
shouts, finally reached the shore.
It was seen then than that all except
three persons had reached places of
safety. One was man not far from
the New Yerk side. The others were a
man and woman who were fleeing
across the ice to the Canadian side.
The man near the New York shore
kept his courage well. His eyes were
directed toward the steel arch under
which he would pass if the ice continued
to move down the river. Onward it
went. and just as 1t reached the bridge
he leaped from the ice and caught the
arch as it rises not far out from the
abutment. The man and woman made
record time meanwhile and safely
reached the Canadian shore.

Two Idaho Fatalities.

LEWISTON, Idaho, Jan. 23.-Mrs.
Henry Tobin was drowned in the Clear
water river Friday night, just after 9
O'Clock. She deliberately walked into
the water with suicidal intent. A email
boy witnessed the tragedy. An alarm
was Immediately given, but the body
has not been recovered. The unfortun-
ate woman is said to have lost her mind
over trouble. The family came here
from Walla Walla. They lost fortune
by the Edmiston bank failure three
years ago. Henry Tobin tried to shoot
the banker but failed on account of his
revolver being loaded with blank cart
ridges. Mrs. Tobin is said to have taken
the ball cartridges out of the pistol to
save her husband from the consequences
of murder. Tobin pursued and shot the
banker, but the blank loads caused no
serious injury.
The little 2-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. T. McCarty was burned to
death Friday at the home of the family
at Melrose, on the reservation, about %
miles from this place. The father was
away from home at the time. The
mother was in the corral when she
heard the screams of her daughter, who
came running toward Mrs. McCarty
with her dress afire. The child hac
been burned so seriously that she dice
within an hour.

NAUGHTY DONS
TAUGHT A LESSON
Spanish Schooner Deprived of Its Flag
as a Penalty for Insulting the
Auxiliary Cruiser ResoIute.

New YORK, Jana dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: Captain
Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser Resolute,
captured 20-foot Spanish flag in the
harbor and incidentally taught the
Spaniards a lesson in manners.
A Spanish schooner of about 20 tons
sailed alongside the Resolute, when it
hove to, and with cheer of defiance
from the men aboard, an immense
Spanish flag was run up to the mast
head, with the Cuban flag beneath il.
Captain Eaton was forced to recognize
the insult, and ordered Naval Cadet Mar
rant and Marine Officer Thorp, with a
file of marines into a steam launch,
which speedily overlook the Spaniard.
the captain refused to obey the order
to lower the flag, whereon the marines
went aboard and took forcible possession
of the Spanish flag, leaving the Cuban
flag flying at the masthead.
The occupants of the schooner were
then compelled to give three cheers for
the Cuban and American flags after
which the vessel was allowed to proceed.
The captured flag will be held as q

nized in England that Americas inter
ests in the Nicaragua canal have ma
terially increased since the negotiation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It is
now essential as a military work for
uniting the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific
coasts and for concentrating the naval
forces: As power with possessions in
the East and West Indies it Will be an
essential link in the American impartial
system as the Suez canal is in the Brit
ish empire.
The Panama enterprise has warned
British ministers that a private COM
pany cannot undertake so ;grea. work
without vast increase of financial out
lay.
They are convinced that the success of
the Nicaragus canal as an engineering
and financial undertaking will be inn
practicable under the management of a
private company, whereas with the
credit of the United States government
behind it, the bonds will be hoated
above par and the enterprise be released
from the burdens of high rates of in
terest, On this account the British
government will readily consent to alter
the treaty so as to allow the United
States to construct the canal and to be
responsible for its regulation and con-
troll.

HAY AND SAILS
BURY AT WORK
No Attempt Will Be Made to Unravel
the Tangled Skein of Diplomacy
Which Enmeshes the Clayton-Bul-
wer Treaty, but Fresh Start Will
Be Taken-England Will COncede
American Interests Paramount.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The Tribune's
London correspondent writes: The
Nicaragua canal question has been taken
up bv Secretary Hay and Lord Salisbury
in practical rather than a controversial
way. It is not believed that either of
these statesmen is anxious to attempt to
unravel the tangled skein of diplomacy
with which the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
has been enmeshed in the course of so
years. They will prefer to make a
fresh start in spirit of mutual accom-
mediation and good feeling.
The practical business now in hand is
that of adopting the Clayton Bulwer
treaty to new conditions affecting the
interests of both countries. The COM
mercial interests of the world and the
highest ends of civilization will be pro-
NOTED by the construction of water
way through Central America. One
country may be more directly interested
than the other in the completion and
control of the inter-oceanic canal. but
both England and America will benefit
commercially by the opening of the
waterway, and neither can have any
adequate motive for hampering or re.
tarding a great work which will con-
tribute to the progress and civilization
of the world.
On the other hand the truth is recog.

Unusually Well Matched-A Record En-
try of Home-Bred and Imported CANNES
Many New Men Among the Exhibitors.
From Tuesday 10 Friday will DO dog days at
Madison Square Garden. the period being set
apart for the annual bench show OF the West
minister Kennel Club. In numbers It will be
the greatest canine exhibition ever held in this
country. and one OF the biggest held In any
country. for the entries foot up to 2,O55. a total
only surpassed by Crufts London show, with
3.435 entries, and a few OF the other large
shows in Great Britain. In the class of
the exhibits the show will also be n record
breaker in two other ]rcspccts, the unusual and
varied array of foreign priHc-winners entered
for the first time hero and the prominence Of
young home-bred stock. The development OF
the latter is the greatest advantage OF bench
shows. and to attain this prestige is the mo-
tive that impels our amateur dog fanciers TO
pay long prices for noted winners abroad.
In many breeds the goal has been passed.
notably in bull terriers. collies, st. Bernards
and smooth fox terriers. for homebreds in
these types have more than once swept the
boards at the Westminster show. but this has
not checked the zeal OF the amateurs in en-
deavoring to strengthen the bloodlines Of their
dogs, In the hope that every specimen pro-
duced will be perfect. while it has stimulated
them to take up breeds hitherto neglected
here. An instance Of this il the fresh interest
in Alredale terriers. a sterling old breed in
Great Britain. Last year only eight
were entered. but this years list shows
thirty -seven nominations. two Of which.
Clonmel Marvel and Yeracity. are at
the very top OF the breed in Eng
