WAS LOGAN MURDERED?
That the Major Was Dealt
with Treacher0usly.

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-If stories told
by those who returned on the transport
Sheridan, which carried the Thirty
third infantry to the Philippines, are
true, Maj. John A. Logan, Jr., may not
have met his death at the hands of Fill
pino sharpshooters, as cable stories
have reported. According to the state
ment of George H. Kappitz, the purser
of the Sheridan, supported by others of
the crew of the transport, Logan was
shot by some of his own men. Purser
Kappitz was disinclined to go into par
ticulars regarding the young majors
taking off, but on being pressed to ex-
plain some of the circumstances, he
said:
MAI. Logan made himself particularly
offensive to the men by his overbear ring
manner toward those under him. and this
feeling was heightened by an incident
which occurred one day out at sea. Maj.
Logan had pet dog to which he was very
much attached. One of the soldiers also
had dog which was looked upon as a sort
Of mascot among the men. It happened
that the two dogs got into fight and Lo-
gan's dog came out of the scrimmage the
worse for the encounter. Logan was so an
gered that he seized the soldiers dog and
threw him overheard. This action only
served to make the feeling more bitter
against the officer and threat was openly
made and repeated many times that Lo-
gan would not last after the first battle.''
The fact is pointed out by the men
who returned on the Sheridan that the
cable accounts of just how Maj. Logan
received the wound in battle at San
Fabian are rather vague, and they think
this is significant.

VICTORY FOR CHICAGO.
Wisconsin University Team Fails to
Win Championship Game
Played in Rain.

Madison, Wis, Dec II. - The foot
ball elevens of the Universities Of Chi
cago and Wisconsin,, admittedly the
two strongest in the west, lined up on
Randall Field Saturday for game on
the result of which depended the west
ern championship. Probably $4,000
people, the largest crowd that ever wit
messed football game here, were pres
ent, when Referee Evarts blew his
whistle for the commencement of the
play.
About noon cold rain began falling
and before the crowds of crimson and
maroon followers had taken possession
of grandstand, bleachers and field, the
turf was wet and slippery and the air
heavy with mist. The enthusiasm of
the spectators was in no wise dimin-
ished, however, and when the four un-
dergraduate classes of Wisconsin
marched around the gridiron with
f1outing flags and booming drums, the
yells of the contending factors seemed
to raist the temperature to 4 fairly COM
Portable point.
The score of the game was as follows:

THE pen DO IN CHINA.
Decision 81 Powers Is Main tain Thi.
Policy Very Gratifying to
S. United States.

f Washington, Dec. 1.-THE various
publications coming from European
sources, touching the decision of the
powers to meet the United States re-
quest for formal written undertaking
to maintain the *'open door, in China,
are giving satisfaction to the officials
here as indicating the success of this
important diplomatic negotiation.
However, it may be stated the responses
of the European governments have not
yet reached the state department. 1t
is realized thoroughly that in a matter
of this Importance the negotiation
must be conducted with the greatest
circumsPection and deliberation.
Hence it is no matter for surprise that
the responses have not yet been re-
ceived. 1t is hoped that the final sue
cess of the negotiations can be COM
municated to congress in the shape of
a special message from the president,
accompanied by an explanatory state
ment from Secretary Hay, soon after
the holidays.
London, Dec. 1.-THE Berlin corre-
spondent of the Standard says: All the
powers concerned have favorably re-
ceived the proposals of the United
States regarding the maintenance of
the ''open door" in China, each Offer
ing to sign the desired assurance if the
others will do so.

F Springfield, Ill, Dec. II. = At one
o'clock in the morning telephone mes
sage to the police stated that mob was
tearing up the street railway tracks at
Eleventh street and Black avenue,
Ridgely, and that wires were being
cut. Although outside the jurisdiction
of the police, several officers with Sher-
if Woods and deputies fastened to the

A dozen shots were fired at them and

Great excitement prevailed in Ridge
ly upon the arrival of the officers and

Harry Hayes was the man shot. He
was wounded in the left leg by bullet
fired by an officer, who commanded him
to halt. The other men arrested were

the car company.
The prisoners were brought to the
county Jail at three o'clock in the morn
ing in the patrol wagon.

New York, Dec. 11-Bradstreet's says;
The last month OF the year has opened
auspiciously, finding trade and industry
generally we'll employed demand treating
close upon and even passing supply, labor
troubles averted in some instances by
widespread advances in wages. of small
Importance except in one or two cities, and
with the general level of values of staples
at the highest point reached for eight years
past Holiday demand has opened well and
collections from retail trades therefore
show some improvement After year OF
unprecedented activity and advancing
prices, iron and steel are quiet with few
significant changes, partly because the
season of the year does not favor new
work, and partly also owing to the fact
that producers are very generally sold up
to the middle of next year.; Prices show no
conditions have further stimulated the de-
mand for boots and shoes at numerous
points. and hides and leather retain all
the strength gained as a result OF last
months general rise. Notwithstanding
advanced stage of the season. lumber,
hardwood particularly, continues in active
demand at most markets."
II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF trade
says: ''The approach of a new year usual
~ brings SO much of hesitation In business
that the small shrinkage this year is sur
prlsing. Probably never before have the
productive forces of the country been SO
largely covered by contracts at this date,
insuring employment and profit far into
the coming year. This results, not from
any mere speculative excitement, but from
actual demands for consumption running
far beyond the producing capacity hereto
fore, and pushing it to remarkable expan-
sion. The increase in foreign trade has
been insignificant, compared with the in
crease Of $24.0O0,OOO in payments through
ho nnVnAnfQ
have been 2o.3 per cent. larger than last
year. and 3S.1 per cent. larger than in 1892.
Wheat has risen three cents and corn
fraction, with decline in western receipts OF
both. Atlantic exports of wheat for the
week, -four included. were only 1859 ,677
bushels. against $3.50, 767 last year. and Pa
cific exports 1861 against 556. .523 last year.
'Failures for the week have been 221 In
the United States, against 248 last year, and
SO in Canada. against 22 last year."

ADvICEs received from Sardinia re-
port a most deplorab1e state of poverty
and famine among the peasantry ow-
ing to the almost total failure of this

meager pasturage is almost entirely
exhausted and the cattle are rapidly
being decimated. The shepherds and
cattle drivers of the country live on
wild figs and in many parts of the
country the peasantry live on bread

Z INAsMUCH as the e!ectrolysis, which,
according to experts. is causing rapid
deterioration of the New York ele-
5vated railroad structures, comes sup
sposedly from current carried over
the Brooklyn bridge. it is feared the
bridge itself may be undergoing dam
age from the same cause. The places
where electrolysis would be the most
dangerous to the structure are at the
anchors of the cables, which, being
covered with masonry, can not be :a-
sspected. If, however, the moisture
has been excluded there is no danger
of electrolysis

CONTRARY to the general opinion,
more people go mad during the sum-
mer months than IN the usually gloomy
and dull months of November, Decem-
ber and January, when times are bad
and the general conditions appear
more conducive to insanity. Not only
in this country but also in many 9TH
ers, it is found that more people go
mad during May, June and July than
during any other portion of the year.
and that suicide-which is due to some
form of insanity--is also more preva-
lent during the summer.

SYSTEMS of electrically lighting rail-

current is generated by a dynamo
geared to the car axle, are in use on q
number of railroad lines in this coun-

Washington, Dec. II. - Hon. John
Wanamaker Saturday testified before
the industrial commission on the SUBJ

these stores were beneficial to society,
having substantial economic and NOR
al basis for their existence. 1T is," he
continued, "a natural product evolved
from conditions that exist as result of
fixed trade laws. Cheaper capital, bet

any government act until the year 1864

stamped on the copper two-cent pieces.
Before that time, "E Pluribus Unum"
had been the motto. Strange to relate,

authorized by law. Like Topsy, it just
grew. Nearly all the constitutions
mention God.
