fore his death, Mr.. Donaldson left for
California. At that time his health
was excellent and he looked forward

Pneumatic straw stacker.

a company has been formed at Maple
Bay, Polk county, for the manufacture
OF pneumatic straw stacker, patented
by a. d. Felsing. The stacker has
been manufactured during the past
two years on a small scale and has
been put to some of the, severest tests.
1T has proven itself able to do the work
of caring for the straw at the rear of
any threshing machine totwhich it has
been applied, and a company will be-
gin to build them on a large scale. It
will be known as the Felsing- Gustaf-
sen company. A peculiar feature of
the stacker is that it requires less than
one horsepower to operate it.

WHERE ARE THEYp
Samoan Commissioners, Due In San
Francisco, Have Not Arrived.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The non arrival
Of the Samoan commission is beginning
to attract attention in official quarters,
as it is thought some complication may
have arisen In Samoa to keep the COM
mission there. The last report was that
the party would leave Apia July is, and
if this had been carried out, the COM
mission would have been due in San
Francisco before the present time. As
the bulk of the natives were disarmed
there is little prospect that they could
cause serious disorder.
Yet in case of renewed trouble be-
tween the factions, 1t is believed the
commission would wait until quiet had
been restored. Respecting Consul Os-
borne's assuming the duties of chief
justice of Samoa, it is understood here
that he had the support of the Germans,
as the latter, while strongly opposed to
Chief Justice Chambers, at no time
made a point against Consul Osborne's
part in the Samoan difficulties.
The state department is still in ignor-
ance of the manner in which Consul Os-
borne came to be made acting chief JUS
tice in view of the vigorous contention
by Herr Solf, president of the municipal
council, that he was entitled to the sue
cession. A long report on the proceed
ings of the Samoan commission has
been submitted by Mr.. Trip, the United
States commissioner and president of
the commission, but coming by mail it
Is of date month back and does not
bring the history OF events down to the
breach between Chief Justice Cham
bers and the commission.

SIR WILFRED CHILLY.
Will Not Visit Chicago
Through Fear Of
Indignity.

Washington, Aug. At. w. Fitzpat-
rick of the treasury department has
just returned to Washington from OF
tawa, where he went at the instance
Of the committee of citizens of Chicago
in charge of the ceremonies of laying
the cornerstone of that citys great post
office building, next October by Presi-
dent Mckinley, to arrange for the for
NAL invitation and expected acceptance
Of an invitation from Chicago's citizens
to the governor general and cabinet Of
Canada, to participate in these festivi-
ties.
To an Associated Press representative
Mr.. Fitzpatrick admitted that his Off
oial reception was slightly chilly, Sir
Wilfred Laurier candidly telling him
that under the present conditions, it
would be impossible for him to accept
or even to consider any social invita-
lions to this side of the border. Mr.
Fitzpatrick says that in substance, Sir
Wilfred Laurier's statements and an
swers to queries were as follows
AS friend in whom l am deeply in
terested, / am very glad to see you, but
frankly, as a representative of the fed
eral or any local government in the
United States, your visit could not have
been more untimely. When received
your first letter, l took up the matter
with his excellency the governor gem
eral, and he expressed a sincere desire
to visit Chicago, and seemed as anx-
ious to accept the invitation as was.
We would have been delighted to go
and were looking forward to the day
with much anticipation. But since then
the tone of your press has become so
harsh in dealing with the Alaskan
boundary question such misrepresenta-
tions have been made about our gov
eminent and particularly about me,
that it would be undignified for us to
visit you, and | cannot advise his ex-
cellency to CO."
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wifred
intimated that in the present state of
public feeling in the United States, as
indicated in the press, it would not
be entirely safe for the governor gem
eral and himself to visit Chicago, as
he feared that they might in q great
gathering at Chicago be subjected to
some unpleasantness or indignity.

HERRESHOFF'S FLEET,
Three Past Defenders Will
Try Conclusions at
Newport Today.

Newport, R. L, Aug. Awhile the
new cup defender, Columbia, will not
race tomorrow with the other three
Herreshoff single stickers-Defender,
Vigilant and Navahoe-those who go
out with the idea of witnessing con-
test will not, probably, be much disap-
pointed, as the Columbia will be in the
feet, although not as an actual partic-
ipant in the race. That is, she viii
be about the bay aud will quite likely
try conclusions with the other three
sloops, but she will not start in the
race.
This was definitely decided this af :
ternoon, and Mr.. Iselin, with his
friends, Herbert c. Leeds and Capt.
Woodbury. Kane, came down from Bris-
toll about $50 p. m, with that under
standing. Mr.. Leeds said the work of
stepping the new mast had been done
very satisfactorily, and that when the
party left there this afternoon, good
progress had been made by the rig
gers.
Said he: I'VE expect Columbia will
be towed down here tomorrow morn
ing early and that she will 60 outside
for spin, but not for race" Mr..
Leeds further said that he expected to
be with the New York Yacht club fleet
at New London, Monday
w. Butler Duncan said Defender
would start in the race whether the
Columbia did or not. There is oonsid-
cradle regret expressed here tonight
over the inability of Columbia to race
with the other three boats, but no
blame is attached to Mr.. Iselin, as he
authorized no statement that the boat
would race. The other three boats are
in the harbor today, and sood contest
is expected, while the Navahoe people
are praying for wind.
Besides the regular cup to be raced
for by all three boats. the Yacht Rae
ing association has also offered hand
leap cup for the three boats, but the
handicaps will not be announced until
after the race. The Syce and Kestrel
are also in the harbor, ready for their
contest. There is a large fleet of yachts
in the harbor tonight, including those
of the Corinthian club of Philadelphia.

Insulted In New

ELDERLY DOCTOR PRIME MOVER

New York, Aug. Ain the presence
of several hundred persons, william
Waldorf Aston was burned in eff1gy to-
night in Long Acre square. DIR. Seldom
w. Grove, an elderly physician, was the
prime mover IN the affair. DIR. Grove
has been much interested in the re-
ports Of Mr.. Astor's declaration of al
legiance to Queen Victoria, and the
more he read, the more indignant he
grew
Tonight he went through the Ten
derloin" and invited about thirty men
to call at his residence. He promised
each man a two-dollar bill. He had lit
tie trouble in getting recruits. He then
hired truck. When the crowd assem-
bled and the truck arrived, DR.. Grove
brought out an effigy of Mr.. Aston. 1t
was almost perfect in appearance.
The figure was tied in a rocking
chair. 1t was hoisted into the wagon.
An oil saturated barrel was put in with
it and also several quarts of kerosene.
High on a pole in the wagon was a
sign, four by six feet in size, bearing
the inscription in great black letters,
'Astor, the traitor"
"A unique pdTdue through Tue uOlel
and theatrical district of the city fol-
lowed. When DR.. Grove stopped in
front of the leading hotels he was re-
quested to move on by the police, but
no attempt was made to arrest him
Still he was not allowed to carry out
his plan of burning the Aston effigy in
Greeley square. When the crowd
which followed the wagon reached
Long Acre square, the efflgy was
placed on top of the barrel, kerosene in
liberal quantities was applied, and the
doctor applied match. The pile blazed
fiercely.
The spectators cheered and loudly
called on DIR. Grove for a speech. The
Doctor made some remarks vigorously
attacking Mr.. Astor. The speech was
interrupted by a report that the police
were coming, and DIR. Grove dlsap-
peared. When the officers reached the
spot they found hole burned in the
asphalt pavement, and they ordered
the truckman to drive to the police sta
ton, but after he had told his story
he was released Up to late hour thu
police had not succeeded in finding DR.

DAY OF SURPRISES.
Leo Ware Beats Dwight
Davis, the Har-
ward Crack.

Southampton, L. L, Aug. 4-This
tournament has now produced more re-
cord-breaking up sets than any other
meeting of the year. This afternoon
Leo E. Ware, the ex-champion of Cana
da and Massachusetts, defeated Dwight
F. Davis, the Harvard expert. The
other sensational match was in the Sc
mi-fnals OF doubles and resulted in a
decisive victory for Allen, of Yale and
McKettrick of Harvard, who were
paired against the colt Harvard team
composed of Davis and Holcombe
Ward.
For weeks the lawn tennis sharps
have predicted victory for the two
Harvard experts when they appeared
at Newport to battle for the twin chal-
lenge cups for the double event but
from their showing today, they have
both had too much tournament play.
In the WareDavis match the Har-
ward man was only in his true form
during the first and third sets During
the opening games he led Ware, but
the former champion caught him at
five all, and the two had it hammer and
tongs over the net until Ware finally
pulled out the set at 1873 The set

streak of brilliant play and took the
third set easily. He then experienced
relapse and his opponent romped
through the deciding games to victory.
This will bring Whitman and Ware to-
gether in the final and championship
round tomorrow morning.
When the match between Allen and
McKittrick and Davis and Ward was
started the sharp play and long rallies
gave promise Of a well contested
match. The plucky Yale man proved
early in the game that he was out for
the scalp of his adversaries. This is
partially due to the fact that with his
partner, Hackett, he will meet the Har-
ward men at Newport for the champion
ship title. Had McKittrick been equal
to the demands made upon him the
match would not have been prolonged
through five heart sets. He
made repeated double faults" in his
service, and in changing sides with AL
len during play he seriously interfered
with him and allowed the Harvard
men to score four straight games in the
third set after which they pulled out
The volleys in this match were of I'M
usual brilliancy and Aliens cross court
smashes were a factor in the result OF
the match. The match occupied -four
hours of playing time and the quartet
of players are badly used up tonight.
The Bostonians, Winslow and AL
fred Goldman, were defeated by Whit
man and Ware in three straight sets
This gave the final round to Allen and
McKittrick and Whitman and Ware
the match being scheduled for tomor-
row afternoon

VISIT To BRAZIL.
Brasil Talks of the
Convention of
Presidents.
MAY AFFECT UNITED STATES.
Meeting Will Have to Do
Merely with Local
Affairs.
MAY AFFECT UNITED STATES.

Newport, r. l., Aug. Al. F. De Assis
Brasil, envoy extraordinary and minis
ter plenipotentiary of Brazil to the
United States, was interviewed today
regarding last nights dispatch which
reported the departure of President
Roca and others from Buenos Ayres for
Brazil. He said:
The Associated Press can rest as
sured that any alliance that may be
formed between South American repub-
lies will be wholly for the better adjust
ment of domestic questions. These re-
publics along the coast line make them
essentially weak when measured
against great foreign powers, so it is
necessary that they should be wise
Brazil alone has 200 leagues of coast
line measured in Portuguese leagues,
which are much longer than the pres
ent standard league. But it is not a
necessity that makes Brazil cautious
She is naturally pacific, and with nc
nation are her relations more cordial
than with the United States.
President Roca is seeking to estab-
fish more intimate commercial relations
between South American republics, and
this movement may ultimately have a
great pecuniary bearing on American
exports, for Argentina is a serious com
petitor of the United States, while Bra
I'll is a great consumer. Argentina
raises enormous crops Of wheat, barley
hay and beef which meet American
products in the Brazilian markets. Bra
lillian coffee, tea COR matte), tobacco
chocolate and sugar are largely con-
sumed in Argentina. If the door OF
commerce is. more widely opened be-
tween these republics, the United States
will be likely to feel it sharply.
Mr.. De Assis Brasil then took a copy
of the Rio De Janeiro Journal of Com
merce of June 80, and read an editorial
regarding the prospective visit Of
President Roca. One significant para
graph was: His visit means a contin-
uation of the relation of good friend
ship which Brazil and Argentina have
entertained through half a century
Their flags have been united in the
most memorable campaign in this part
of the continent. Mr.. Roca comes to
show US with his presence, his own es-
TEEN towards Brazil and it's govern
ment."
Mr. De Assis Brazil was five years
Brazilian minister to Argentina, beside
being a European diplomat to Portu-
gal and other courts, and has long
known President Roca, whose feelings,
he says, are most cordial to this coun-
try.
He is inclined to think, however, that
the growing tendency toward expan-
sion in the United States must ulti-
mately lessen the feeling of sympathy
with which the South American repub-
lies now regard the United States.

ENTRY BLANKS SENT OUT.
The Century Cycle Clubs Meet at Crystal
Lake Promises Well.


Over 300 entry blanks for the Cen
fury Cycle Clubs open amateur races
were issued yesterday by James w.
Grady of the racing board C. E. Os-
good of the Gardner grounds has the
other 200 blanks and will issue them in
that section Mr.. Grady has heard
from the railroad and has the promise
of special rates from this city to Card
ner. The rate will be rs cents and will
include admission to the grounds.
Trains will leave this city at $40 and
11.45 in the morning.
1t has been decided to award second
individual prizes in the inter-club race
provided enough teams enter to war
rant There is a prospect of having at
least II teams in the race, and already
j. W. Grady of the racing board has
received assurances that the Worces-
ters and Newports will enter. The
Centurys will of course, and many of
the other local clubs will enter. c.
e. Osgood says he will guarantee team
for team that Mr.. Grady gets, and as
the latter is sure of six he will look to
Osgood to get six more. The latter
says that the entries of Gardner and
Athol teams are practically assured.
The Associated Cycle Clubs, though
no official action has been taken, are
not to engage the oval for Labor day,
as it would cost too much money to
bank the tracks properly for bicycle
racing. Since w. L. Allen returned
from New Bedford he has thrown cold
water on the project. It will cost at
least $250o to bank the track properly
and the clubs are in no position to
throw away that amount of money.
The entire cost of building a quarter
mile board track would be only $45O0,
and the boys are to do this eventually
if their plans come out as they should
With $4,000 James w. Grady is conf
dent that the Associated Cycle Clubs
can build track that viii invite com
parison with any in the country and
be fully equipped with the best grand
stands that will seat 1000 people.
The Century Cycle Club will go to
