BEAR SHOWS IT'S PAW.
Russia Would Prevent Anglo-AmerIc,
Alliance


LONDON, August 2S.-Upon author
ity of undoubted reliability, areporter
for the Associated Press has ascer-
tanned that into the Alaskan dispute
there has crept craftiness OF Russian
diplomacy. Russia, it can be stated,
will do everything with every possible
energy to prevent practical cohesion
OF the two great English-spealxing
nations. In all her mbassies instruc-
lions have been received to thwart
the Anglo-American understanding.
A prominent diplomat, who is init
mately acquainted with the details of
the negotiations the past few years
said to reporter of the Associated
Press: ''1n any arrangement looking
to working agreement between Eng
land and the United States, Russia
sees the defeat of her dearest projects.
/ believe her intense activity in China
is to no small extent due to her fear
that the Anglo-Saxons' power, once
centralized. will sweep everything be-
fore it in the far east. Dreading the
rapid realization of this nightmare,
she is making hay while the sun
shines, in the meanwhile intriguing
to her utmost to tie the hands of those
who are working to materialize the
Anglo-Saxon sentiment. The latest
evidence of this is in the Alaskan
affair"

To Fight the Meat Trust,

New YORK, August 26.-The execu-
tive committee of the Retail Butchers
Protective Association met to consider
the means to fight the Chicago whole
salers. They decided to recommend
the raising of fund of S5,ooO,o 900. OF
this sum SO, 900, 900 is to be raised by
the retailers themselves and $4,000, 600
by subscription at 81 a share. When
the committee had finished its session
it had pledged subscriptions to the
amount of 81, 900, 900. President Wag-
ner said there was no doubt whatever
that the entire 100000 would be
quickly raised by the retail dealers in
New York city alone. The remaining
81, 900, 900 it is intended to dispose of
to customers, small merchants, labor
organizations and others who are OPP
posed to trusts.

ROUNDED UP THE RIOTERS.
Henry Delegal surrenders to the
Soldiers.


DARIEN, Ca, August 2s.-The
round-up of riotous negroes in Mcln-
tosh county by the military authors
ties resulted IN the surrender of Henry
Delegal, the murderer of Deputy Sher-
if Townsend, and the location for
future arrests of Delegal's brother and
the woman directly implicated in the
killing. Delegal's surrender was
made to Lieut.. Wood, in charge of a
detachment of Savannah soldiers sta
toned fifteen miles in the country to
back up the sheriff's posse, who were
securing the swamps. Delegal stated
that he surrendered to the troops for
protection, as he saw the sheriff's posse
was closing in on him and his capture
was only a matter of few hours or
minutes. The arrest of Delegal and
the arrival of reinforcements for the
military have broken the back bone of
the defiance of the law by the negroes.
A whole regiment Of troops are on
duty IN and about Darien, under COM
mand of Colonel Lawton, but it is not
believed there will be further blood
shed. There are still several ring
leaders Of the blacks wanted by the
officers of the law. Unless they come
in and surrender or are brought in by
their friends and turned over to the
authorities, the troops will 60 after

H. Schaw proposes to blast with
high-pressure steam, instead of the
usual inflammable explosives, which
are so dangerous, in fiery mines. Mr.
Schaw suggests that a cartridge OF
water lodged in shot hole could be
converted into steam at a pressure OF
about $50 pounds a square inch by
means of low-tension electricity, and
the cartridge should be made of such
strength that it would burst at about
this pressure, when the force set at
liberty would break down the coal.
When the cartridge bursts the wire is
fused and the electric circuit is broken,
so that there is no further risk OF
ignition of firedamp or coaldust. Mr..
Schaw maintains that the force devel-
oped by the water cartridge will be
sufficient to break down the undercut
coal in a mine.

INDIGNATION AT CAPE.
Rumors That Ammunition Is Going to

LONDON, August 26.-Much indigna-

Nails correspondent, 100000 car
tridges and 500 rifles have been sent

weeks. Altogether, the pressure upon
the Transvaal is getting strenuous.
From Johannesburg comes the news
that the imperial government has no.

The agrarian party in the Prussian

with a strong hand very plain in his

Paymaster's Guard Attacked at Santiago
de Cuba.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, August 24.-Five
men are dead and ten wounded as the
result of fight between gendarmes
and disappointed Cuban soldiers at
Cuevitas, three miles from Santiago,
where the payment of the Cuban
troops is progressing. Five thousand
Cubans had gathered there to receive
payment and after three days only
$50 had been paid. Thousands who
had been disappointed at other points
had come to Cuevitas. A rumor Cir
culated that the paymasters were
about to leave alarmed the men who
had not been paid. They began to
collect IN groups and finally their
threats became serious. Captain
Baliat with twenty gendarmes were
present to preserve order among the
applicants and the United States
States troops protected Colonel NJ oule,
the officer having charge of the pay
ments. Suddenly Captain Baliat, who
was mounted, was surrounded by a
mob, struck with stones and bottles
and shot in the arm. His men
promptly fired volley into the mob,
three persons being instantly killed
and thirteen wounded, two of whom
have since died. Colonel Moule's
guard promptly surrounded the money

Scheme Revived to Unite Mississippi
Valley Grain Growers.
TOPEKA, Kan, August 27.-Walter
N. Allen has revived his scheme to
organize the farmers of the west into
a mighty trust, to be known as the
Farmers Federation of the Mississippi
Valley. This was attempted nine
years ago, but the formation of the
Farmers Alliance stopped it. Mr..
Allen proposes to make every farmer
a member OF the federation by the
payment Of 81, and then start the
scheme by the issuance of debenture
bonds instead of stock certificates. lie
holds that his plan of issuing deben-
ture bonds solves the problem of
double liability, which he says would
otherwise be drawback in starting
the movement. The charter provides
for the establishment Of warehouses
and elevators in Kansas City, Omaha,
Chicago, Cincinnati, indianapolis and
other cities, where the products will
be collected and stored. The selling
will be done by agents of the trust,
and the prices will be controlled by
the amount of supplies placed on the
market

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, August 2s.-In a
speech here Joseph Chamberlain, sec
rotary of state for the colonies, said:
''If we are forced TO make further

much longer, we shall not hold our
selves limited by what we have
already offered, but. having taken
this matter in hand, we will not
let go until we have secured con-
ditions which, once for all, will
establish us as the paramount
power in South Africa and secure for
our subjects there those equal rights
and privileges promised by President
Kruger when the Transvaal's lnde-
pendence was granted. If it comes to
this, if the rupture which we have
done everything in our power TO avoid,
is forced upon us, am confident we
shall have the support not only of the
vast majority Of Britons, but of the
