CHASED In THE WHIRLPOOL
The Man who Shot Niagara Rapids
Talks About 1t.

(From the Chicago Times-Herald.)
L did not do the thing for notoriety,
nor with the intention of afterward ex-
hibiting myself in dime museum. 1
simply did it for fun and adventure and
to prove or disprove certain theories of
mlne.'
Thus spoke Peter Nissen, better known
to the public as "P. M. Bowser, y hero
Of the whirlpool at Niagara Falls and the
latest OF the little band OF men who have
gone through the rapids and survived to
tell the tale.
Some years ago when the Parliament
can Exposition was first talked about, /
conceived the idea, - he said, that q
boat line through the rapids at Niagara
would prove a paying venture, prOvid-
ing it was practicable. [ set about de-
signing boat that would do the work,
and finally built one.
1t was this little craft that I used in
my "trip. My experience has proved that
the project cannot be carried out for
various reasons, the principal one being
the uncertainty OF the current just out
side the whirlpool.
II had considerable difficulty in get
ting my boat off the car and into the
water on the Canadian side, owing to
the opposition Of the police. However,
1 succeeded, and started on the trip last

had an exciting ride goes without saying,
but at no time during the trip did lose
consciousness nor my presence OF mind,
or was l exhausted, as has been stated.
was as fresh at the end of the run as /
had been at the beginning but fearfully
cold as the day was a raw one / went
round the whirlpool about twenty times
that is, in the centre; part of the time
l was under the wafer, and at one time
my boat was perfectly perpendicular in
the centre of the eddy.
u had complete conf 1ence in the boat
from the start, and knew that 1t would
carry me through, providing it was not
smashed by the heavy timbers that were
sWirltng around in the vortex Of the
pool. There must have been at least two
or three carloads Of lumber there-trees,
logs, and even the side of the bridge.
The only time l was at all frightened
was while that timber was chasing me
around. The logs and trees did not
fear so much as l did that piece of bridge
work 1t and an immense wedge be-
came very neighborly, too much so for
my comfort but at the last the current
threw me to one side of the whirlpool
and my pursuers to the other.
''But here l am back in Chicago, with
little more notOriety than is comfort
able for modest man, but ready to go
back to work at the Office and let the
world forget BOWser.'

on his way to the capital, may be able to
WELD sufficient power and influence to
accomplish this. In this direction lies
about the only hope left of saving the
foreigners alive. 1t is rather a
fOrlorn one, for though Ii Hung Chang
has protested to be the friend of the for
eigners, it is by no means certain that
his professions have been sincere. Meth
er is it at all certain, assuming the sin
certify of his professions, that he can
check the fanaticism that is raging in
the capital and that seems to be deter
mined to be appeased with nothing short
of the blood of the foreigners. 1t will be
observed that Minister Conger describes
the assailants of the legation as Chine Sc
troops, - which indicates either that the
government is conniving at the assault
il not directly ordering it, or has become
pOWerless to control it's own troops. One
strange thing about this business is the
great length Of time the legations have
been able TO hold out Weeks ago they
were reported in state of siege, with
ammunition and food nearly exhausted,
and yet, if Minister Congers despatch is
authentic, they were still holding out no
longer ago than Wednesday. The ex-
planat ion may be that the legations have
had defenders among the Chinese as wen
as assailants, and that the latter have at
times been driven oil by the former.

OLD HOME WEEK.
To Che Editor of the Press.

Limerick, July IA. In a recent issue
was letter from Biddeford which, after
calling attention to the fact of their
having met the evening before, and or
gan1zed for Old Home Week, contained
the following assertion: 1--WE are the only
city or town in York that has taken any
action in this matter. Please allow me
to say through your paper that BiddefOrd
is much mistaken, for up here in the
back woods, ten miles from a railroad,
in the smallest town in York county, an
Old Home Week association was formed
more than a month ago. Our officers
were all chosen and our committees all
appointed. We have held several COM
mittee meetings, and some of our com
mittees having finished their work, have
been discharged and placed on other
committees.
Our location for our meeting has been
chosen, our programme is all arranged,
our menu is made up, our invitations are
ready for distribution, and some have al
ready been sent out. Our financial COM
m1ttee have also done their work and we
stand flrn-on a gold basis. Old LINER
lex is small, and the electrics are not yet
here, but there is lots OF hustle here, and
before BiddefOrd crows again we would
advise her to know whereof she speak. s.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE CUBAN TEACHERS.
(Boston Advertiser. J

Needless fears are expressed sometimes
that our visitors from the gem of the
Antilles will have their time SO occupied
and their thoughts so distracted with
excursions, picnics, receptions, dances
and such social and adventurous recre-
ations as any one, two or more Of them
may from Jime to time undertake in an
informal manner, that there viii be
small opportunity left for serious study.
We do not understand that they were
expected to come to these parts for any
very arduous course OF mental labor. 1t
is presumed that they are one and all
professionally equipped for their life S
work. The idea of bringing them here
was more than anything else to give
them chance to become acquainted with
the people Of the United States under the
most favorable auspices, to associate
for a few weeks with representatives of
the best American culture and to go
back to Cuba refreshed in body and mind
to begin their labors in the school rooms
next autumn. There is every reason to
believe that these praiseworthy objects
are in process Of satisfactory accom-
pliShment,

President Mckinley and General Wood

The State Department. seems to believe
fully in the genuineness of the despatch
received through the Chinese minister at
Washington. Doubtless it's faith is large
~ due to the fact chat the despatch is in
its own cipher. This certainly is strong
ly corroborative evidence, and yet it is
difficult to understand how Minister Con
ger, besieged, as the despatch says, in the
British legation, managed to get mes
sage out. Assuming the despatch to be
genuine it shows that the legations were
still holding out on July IS, that they were
then in desperate straits, and that unless
speedily relieved general massacre was
inevitable In view of the fact that a re-
lief expedition cannot under the most
favorable circumstances arrive at Pekin
under several weeks, there is
little reason for expecting that the am
bassadors and their families will ever be
rescued unless there is some power
among the Chinese potent enough to ar
rest the attack upon the legations before
it has succeeded in compelling their sur

There are signs of friction between
the Russians and Japanese at Tientsin.
Japanese correspondents are accusing
the Russian soldiers of cruelties toward
the Chinese, alleging that they slaughter
innocent women and children as we'll
as soldiers, pillage the shops and massacre
their owners. The allegations are quite
likely within the truth, for the average
Russian soldier is probably but little
above q savage.

The Appellate division of the Supreme
Court of New York has just rendered a
very important decision relative to the
rights of labor unions. The case arose
out Of an attempt on the part of a labor
union to prevent the employment OF OBJ
jectionable men by threatening the EN-
ployers with a strike not only on their
own part but on the part of other organ
izations with which they were allied. An
injunction was issued by the courts re-
stralning them, but the Supreme Court
has now dissolved this. The Court OBJ
serves, in the first place, that every work
man has the right to say for whom and
with whom he will work. This right is
nothing but the constitutional right of
free contract. 1t implies that the right
may be exercised from any motive; and,
the Court adds, the employer has an
equally absolute right to say whom he
Will employ. 1t follows from this, that a
man may refuse to work for the purpose
of inducing his employer to discharge an
Objectionable felIow-woI kman. The pur-
pose is not Illegal nor is the method.
The Court then proceeds TO say that if
the individual workman has this right,
''he does not lose 1t when acting with
others, clothed with an equal right so
that employers may continue to say they
viii not employ persons who are mem
bers Of labor organizations, and laborers
may continue to say they Will not work
for employers who engage any but men,
bers Of labor organizations. -

The Kentucky Democrats have with
drawn one potent issue from the cam
paign in that state by themselves recon-
mending a modification of the infamous
GosbeI law. The claim which they make
that the law was passed to put stop to
Republican frauds, and that they now
recommend it's modification because it
and hypocriticaI of course. The law
was enacted to enable the Democrats to
steal the state, and by means of it they
did steal it. The real reason of its modi-
fcation is that it was so outrageously
unfair that many Democrats protested
against it, and that the party did not
dare to face the issue at the polls.

Those persons who are demanding a
third ticket on the ground that they do
not want to choose between Bryan and
Mckinley should bear in mind that they
cannot really escape making that choice
by taking refuge in third ticket. No
third ticket that can be put in the field
has the slightest chance of success. The
only real tendency Of the votes given it is
to help or hurt one or the other of the
leading candidates. Democrats who vote
a third ticket help elect Mckinley Re
publicans who vote lit help elect Bryan.
The assistance is of course less in each
case than if they had voted for one or the
other of the leading candidates, but it is
nevertheless assistance to the leading can
ddidates and to them alone.
