A BEAR In CHARGE.
Animal in Travelling Show Breaks Out
and Chases Conductor.

Bucyrus, O., July 27.-Several bears
took charge of a train yesterday on the
Toledo & Ohio Central and made things
interesting for a time A train was car
rying a show from Corning to Toledo.
The car next the caboose contained two
cages of bears, together with some other
wild animals.
Just after the train left Bucyrus one
of the bears broke out of his cage and
started on an exploring expedition The
conductor made his escape, with the bear
in hot pursuit, to the caboose, where the
train crew was The conductor won the
race and slammed and locked the door.
The bear, seeing that he could not get
the conductor, contented himself with
climbing around over the other cages, in
which pastime he was joined by other
occupants of the broken cage Seeing
that the chances were good for a whole
train full of fighting wild animals, the
train was sidetracked and the cowboy OF
the aggregation armed himself with
larfat and started to lasso the bears.
The train was delayed over an hour
and messages began to accumulate ask
ing the cause. The conductor, however.
had troubles of his own. and he wired
the general Office here that he was side
tracked to take a straw vote and find
out who was running the train, he or the
bears.
He then gave the particulars, and said
if they would send up a dozen of the
office men, who usually take month off
every year to go hunting big game in the
Northern woods, he could give them
enough game to last them several sea
sons The bears were finally lasSoed
and got back into their cages.

Dowie Considering Proposition to Lo-

waukegan, Ill, July ga report is
current among land owners in Benton
township that Dowie will forfeit the land
contracts he has not already paid for and
move his proposed Zion city few miles

Winthrop Harbor-
Last week Dowie arranged to take title

his advisers spent the day in Winthrop

is quoted as saying that prominent Chi

refer to Winthrop Harbor.

Rain Falls in New England, the First

Boston, July 27.-The long New Eng
land drouth, which had lasted for weeks,
has been broken by a rain that lasted,
with more or less force, twenty-four
hours. The precipitation in this city
and vicinity was l. As inches. There was
less fall in the southeastern part of the
state, but the eastern part, as well as
the central, northern and western por-
lions, was thoroughly watered. South
ern Vermont, southern New Hamp-
shire and southern Maine were well
soaked. The downpour at Portland,
Maine. amounted to .92 inch, a fair sam
pie. Already there is marked change
in the appearance of nature. The pas
ture lands have lost much of their
scorched appearance, and a new shade
of vigor has appeared over the new
truck gardens in the vicinity. 1t is
feared that the hay crop will be only
about half the usual bulk, and the early
potato crop has been withered one-third,

SHIP CAPTAIN TOO HASTY.
Honolulu Officials Impose a Fine for
Disregarding Rules.

Honolulu, July 27.-Collector Stacka-
bic has levied a fine of $1,000 against
the American ship Marion F. Chilcott,
Captain w. F. Weldon, for violation of
the United States laws regarding dis
charging cargoes. The Chilcott's vio-
lation of the law consisted in beginning
to discharge without permit to do so.
The fine was paid, but there will be an
appeal to Washington and Captain
Weldon will try to have Collector Stack
able's decision overruled by the treasury
department on account of the sudden
change in the laws here.
1t is stated positively that the pro-
posed scheme of importing labor from
Porto Rico to Hawaii has been aban-
doned, temporarily at least, as it might
be regarded as a violation of the for
eign contract labor law.
Some time ago a number Of TyroleSe
were brought to this country to work
as 1aborers on plantations. 1t had been
represented to the Austrian minister at
Washington that the immigrants were
iIl-treated in Hawaii. Governor Dole
has received a letter from Secretary
Hay on the subject.
Alexander and Baldwin are the en-
ployers of the Tyrolese and the laborers
are said to be pleasantly treated on the
plantations of that firm on Maui They
are not under contract nor have they
been since they went to work in this
country.

FILIPINO STUDENTS.
Coming to the United States to Be
Educated.

Berkeley, Cal. July 27.-The Philip
pine commissioners contemplate send
ing natives of the islands to the United
States to study. The first news con-
corning this important new policy was
brought by a letter from Bernard
Moses. professor of history in the Uni
versity of California, and a member of
the Philippine commission, in letter
just received by President Benjamin
Ide Wheeler. The letter says, in part:
From observations already made,
am inclined to think that we shall find
among the young people of the islands
a large number of eager, competent
students and I hope some arrangement
may be made by which, from time to
time, a goodly number may be sent TO
the schools of America. 1t may, per-
haps, be found advisable to render some
OF them assistance from public funds
L is quite likely that in this way we
can help to bring the people of these
islands to appreciate somewhat the civ
ilization of the United States, and to
mark the difference between America
and Spain"

Chicago, July 27-The conference of
the representatives of the steel and iron
interests of the country was resumed
at the offices of the Federal Steel COM

stated to the Associated Press that all

that so far as he knew no general shut
down of the mills was probable. He
said the combine had been shutting
down the furnaces from time to time
as the exigencies of business required,
but no radically new policy is now con-
femplated. Some of the steel mills had,
he said, been closed and more might be,
if a prudent financial management
should deem it advisable.
