SKAGUAY IN EARNEST.
Ask High Joints to Come Out and
See For Themselves.

Washington, May 19.-Each of the
members of the American branch of the
joint high Canadian commission has re-
ceived a handsomely prepared invita-
ton from the chamber of commerce of
Skaguay through its president to visit
that port and see for themselves the
conditions. The invitation recites in
strong language the desire of the peo-
pie of Skaguay to have the commission
maintain to the utmost the claims of
the United States to every foot of terri
tory within the ten mile limit lying be
tween the sea and the' boundary line,
as it has heretofore been recognized.
The invitation has made an impression
upon some members of the commission
because of the earnest expression of the
determination to maintain American
rights to the utmost. For one thing it
is taken as completely negativing the
statement published some time go that
the majority of the people of Skaguay
are desirous of annexation to Canada.
There is every indication of the abso-
lute and final determination of the,
American commissioners to uphold this
view of the proper boundary line set
off by the people Of Skaguay if the
boundary line is to be retained as one
of the subjects for the action of the
Joint commission.

Chicago, May 19.-William J. Bryan

it such planks as new conditions might

affirmation of the Chicago platform in

ratio of 16 to l.

Sought to Marry Her.

Ter, aged %, was shot and killed at her
home. near the village of Dimondale

AZ years old, who was living in the Flag

Young woman and her mother.
After an hours absence from the
house this morning the mother returned
to find the daughter dead.
Brumm for several years had been

CRASH SKIRTS.
Williards are the largest manufac-
turers out of Linen Crashes in America
and good judges pronounce their pro-
duct superior to all other skirt makers.
We have again secured the sole agency
for these goods in Topeka. We were
very successful with this line last year
and expect to be still more so this as
our stock is larger. All their Crashes
are thoroughly water shrunk. The
styles this season are unusually attrac-

very reasonable.
SILK UNDERSKIRTS.
Rrainerd and Armstrong's Taffeta
Silks are the only Taffeta Silks that we

BLACK SILKS
To accommodate small dealers job
bers cut full pieces of silk in lengths
to suit their customers. This usually
leaves them at the close of the season
with a lot of ends running from three

at a sacrifice. Our buyer secured a
lot of them this trip and we are offer
ing them much lower than we could
afford to otherwise. In them are some
wonderfully good values in Black Satin
Duchesse and Poi De Sois at S9c CSC

Black Silk and Satin Brocades at 69c

tail at $1.OO and $1.25 AS there are
many duplicates buyers can easily get
full dress patterns among them. This
is very economical way to buy first

Diamond state Iron Co.'s Plant to be
Leased TO the New Concern.
The plant OF the Diamond State Iron
Co will be leased to the Diamond
State Steel Go. and steel industry
will be installed on the Christiana
which will probably result in the man
ufacture of double the present tonnage
Favorable action looking towards the
lease of the plant by the directors was
taken at meeting Of the stockholders
of the Diamond State Iron Co. Mon
day afternoon. More than nine -tenths
of the stock was represented at the
meeting. The details are now in the
hands of the directors of the two COM
panies for a consummation of The
plans. A permanent arrangement will
probably be made, under which the old
company will retire from active bust
ness.
Arrangements for tho combination
of the iron plant with steel plant to
be established have been in charge of
the Philadelphia banking houses of
Edward B. Smith Il Co. and Dick
Brothers. The old company has capi-
talization of $1,000, 600, and tho new
company, which was chartered at
Dover has q capitalization of S3, 600, ,000,
Wnlcn means tnat tne new concern mas
practically capital of S4,000, 600. The
incorporators of the steel company were
Edward b. Smith and Walter Nj. Cor
ham of Philadelphia and Howard 4.
Wallace of this city. 1t is expected
that the new concern will take charge
at an early date. The works now en-
ploy about 1900 men and are busy in
every department.
The new company has acquired a
large block of land adjoining the
present plant on the south side Of
the Christiana. The old company
has 16 acres; the new company has
bought 36 acres from the Lobdell Car
Wheel Co. The new land lies to the
west of the Old Ferry mill and has a
frontage on the Christisna of about
l, 100 feet.
The directors and officers of the new
company are yet to be selected. Some
of the stockholders OF the old company
have stock in the new. 1t has been
reported that Howard L. Wallace will

INTERESTING NEWS EXPECTED.

Uncle sam Not TO Permit the Proposed Ex-
tortion IN Nicaragua.
Washington. May 1.--Advices from
Bluetields, Nicaragua, indicate that the
situation there, SO far as American
interests are concerned, is extremely
unsatisfactory and discouraging.
1t is being impressed upon the
officials here that persons high in the
Nicaraguan government are pursuing a
policy calculated very deliberately to
crush the American BUSINESS interests,
now of considerable magnitude in the
mosquito country. The reports are to
the effect that, ever since the Clarence
rebellion, some years ago, the Nicara-
guam government has been jealous of
the growing Importance of the Ameri-
can settlements, and the Reyes rebellion,
recently, seems to have confirmed it in
the determination to destroy the Ameri-
can influence in that section.
The American interests in Bluefields
alone now aggregate fully 50, 900, 900 In
geld, and the State Department is
determined that they shall be protected
against the proposed extnrtion, SO that
interesting news is expected at any
moment, in view of United States
man-of-war, the Detroit, being there to
execute the orders of the department.
