Former Governor Drew Dead

Jacksonville, Fla, September 26--George F. Drew, the reconstruction Governor of Florida, died al his home here this evening, aged 73 years. Two years before his demise his wife passed away from the effects of a stroke of apoplexy.
 Governor Drew was born at Alton, New Hampshire. It was in the memorable cam palgn of 1876 that Governor Drew was se- lected as the standard bearer of the Demo- cratic party, and 1t Was largely through his hard work that the Republican party was overthrown. After his term as Governor he came to this city to reside

Affairs also cites an agreement with Bo- llva calculated to prevent all disagreeable questions and boundary incidents which, from time to time, have arisen. In the discussion with Peru both governments have shown a desire to reach an early set clement and the steps taken toward sat- isfactory adjustment are set forth.
 The secretary of the legation, speaking of the facts set forth said:
 'The official statement of the Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs clearly shows that Chileis foreign policy is treaty abid- ing, peaceful and friendly in regard to for eign countries and especially so toward its neighbors and that negotiations are being carried on to settle amicably all pending problems. The Chilean-Argentine boundary question now submitted to Her Britannia Majesty's arbitration, whose final award certainly will be acquiesced in and re- spected, is considered settled. There Is, therefore, no ground on which to base the rumors of an immediate war between Chile and her neighbors.'

STAR WITHDREW
Because Her Husband Objected to Ger
 tain Lines in Her Role

London, September 27-Interest in the production at the Duke of Yorks theatre last evening under the management of Charles r. Rohman of "The Lackeys' Car nival," by Henry Arthur Jones, was in- creased by the action of Miss Evelyn Mill lard in withdrawing from the cast because her husband had objected to certain lines In her role
 The phrase to which special exception was taken is the following:
 "I swear by the love I bear for my un- born child that I am a faithful wife,.
 The motive of the play lies in the tor lures which a cunning blackmailing ser want, by means of letters he has obtained from an innocent but indiscreet girl is en- abled to arouse in the mind of a jealous husband. This provides for months of men tai agony which is finally dispelled by the oath Miss Willard refused to utter
 Miss Edith Wynne Mattison, who assumes the role rejected by Miss Willard, achieved a personal triumph. The play was received with mingled cheers and misses.

FLORENCE
Lauderdale's Cotton Crop Will be A bou
 Same as Last Year

Florence, September 26.-(Special.)-The weather the past three weeks has been warm and favorable to the cotton crop, with sufficient rain to develop the plant and open the squares. The crop this year will be as large as last year, which was 40 per cent less than in 1898. The acreage is per cent larger than last year, but the yield will be about the same. Cotton pick ing is progressing rapidly as planters are anxious to market the crop at present prices. Worms have been reported in var ious parts of the county but are doing very little damage. Squares were reported shedding early in the season but are not giving any cause for complaint at this time. Seed cotton is making an average yield and the bolls are healthy and open ing nicely The top crop Is somewhat promising and will make a good yield if the early frost does not cut it short.
 Mathis, Reeder and Company, the lead- ing buyers here, state that there is some complaint from planters that the crop is not yielding as largely as they had ex- pected when they began picking, and they give significance to this as 1t indi- cates that the crop will be shorter than expected in this section Mathis, Reeder and Company estimate the South's crop at nine and a quarter maximum, with not less than nine million bales. The crop is moving nicely and is selling at 9Bc today

RUMORS OF WAR
 ARE CROUNDLESS
No Indication of Outbreak Be- tween Chile and Her Neighbors
RELATIONS ARE PEACEFUL
Chile Does Not Refuse to Submit Ques- tion of Sovereignty to a Popular ebiscite-Boundary Arbi-
 tration Progressing.

Washington, September 26.-The secretary of the Chilean legation today, in response to inquiries by a representative of the As
 sociated Press said that the reports of war
 between Chile and her neighbors were
 groundless. The war rumors have gained
 considerable circulation of late, 1t being
 stated that outbreak of hostilities was
 imminent between Chile on the one hand
 and the Argentine Republic, Peru and Be-
 livia on the other. The cause of the pos
 sible conflict is alleged to be the unwilling
 ness of Chile to conform to certain treaty
 relations, it being contended that Chile will
 not abide by the award of the British gov
 ernment in the boundary question with the
 Argentine Republic, and that it refuses to
 submit the question of the detinitive sover-
 eighty over the provinces Of Tacna and
 Africa to the decision of a popular plebis-
 cite, to be held in those provinces accord ing to a treaty between Chile and Peru. la response to these statements, it Is now set forth by the Chilean authorities that Chile is not trying to restrict the limits of the British award and that she certainly will abide by it. Chile does not refuse to submit the question of sovereignty to popular plebiscte and in general it is stated that "the diplomatic relations between Chile i and the Argentine, Peruvian and Bolivian governments are at present peaceful and friendly"
 As convincing proof of this the recent report of the Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs Is referred to. This contains the statement that "our boundary question with the Argentine Republic is now settled in a friendly manner and the relations be- | tween both countries have been cordial and sincere"

damage to the church, but the wires in
the transformer on a pole on the oppo-
site side OF the street from the church
were burned out, thus causing a total

OUT AFTER THE STORM.
A Few Coasters Venture North-Ex-
pertenee of Andrew HeseItine on
Californian Last Winter.

The clearing weather of yesterday after.
noon was gladly welcomed all along tht
water front; and in marine circles every
body hoped that at least after four days
of about as disagreeable rain storm as
has ever prevailed on the Maine coast the
changed conditions had come to stay fol
several days at least. The coasters Sun
set, White Foam, Maud s., Pendletor
and Waiter Holmes decided to take
chances and left Widgery's wharf al
which they have been tied up since lasi
week. Fish became all the more scarce
for another day passed by without any
being brought in. At Trefethen's on
Commercial wharf it was stated that
none would probably be brought into the
Portland market until the first OF next
week. The tug Knickerbocker arrived
and had in tow the bark Arthur G. Wade,
which she had brought from the Z enne-
bee.
At few minutes past tW O'Clock the
steamer Manhattan arrived from New
York. ''We had very rough and hard
trip, said one of the crew. "On Tuesday
night we left New York at the usual
time and the weather looked fair at that
time. But soon afterwards fierce rain
storm came up. This Increased all OF the
time so that at seven O'Clock yesterday
morning we anchored at Bass River, near
Nantucket, and remained there UP to
midnight last night when we resumed
our trip Portland. From that time
AI,.0
wind bIowed gale all of the time.'' The
steamer brought fifteen passengers and a
large freight.
The new officials who have been pro-
NOTED in the customs service, Messrs.
Grover, Tobie and Heseltine are receiving
the congratulations of their friends. Each
OF these three officials is popular and Col
Iec5or Moses could not have made better
selections Mr.. Heseltine, is the youngest
man of the lot, and is gone OF the most
competent officials in the service. He is
well remeln bered as the one official who
was assigned to take charge OF the wreck
OF the disabled steamer Californian last
winter. At that time the weather was the
coIdest of the season and there was not a
particle of fire In the big steamship. But
Mr.. HeseltIne remained at his post of
duty for stretch OF three weeks, coming
ashore not more than two or three
times He went ahead. adapted himself
to circumstances and never word OF
complaint was heard from him. In speak
ing OF this instance yesterday one Of the
leading officials at the custom house said
that Mr.. Heselt1ne managed to keep COM
Portable by pulling over his body couple
of uIsters, eight or nine REFERS, three or
fur leather coats, four pairs OF wooden
stockings and pair OF rubber boots that
extended up to his waist. These extensive
preparations which Mr.. Heseltine made
for his sojourn on the Californian at that
time and the constant attention to busi-
ness after he had once landed on the
wrecked ocean liner elected very favor
able comment from all of the officials at
the custom house. Mr.. Heseltine will
probably assume his new duties within a
few daus
