to both the Norfolk and Grand Island
factories, all Of which will be worked
here. 1t is now expected to start the
campaign on Saturday morning of next
week. 1t is POSSIBLE that the rains may
delay the date of starting up somewhat,
but this is not probable The estimate
now placed upon this years crop is
30 900 tons, which will make cam

CAPTAIN NOT TO BLAME.
Water Tight Compartment Opened
 Without His Knowledge.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 20.-J. T. Snyder a resident of Juneau, who arrived on the steamer FarallCn today, said that at the Islander inquest at Juneau, evi- dence developed which may tend to ex- cuse the captain for not bleaching the steamer at once. MT. Snyder said 'The pilot testified that he was on the bridge and ttat as soon as she struck he told the captain he was going to beach her. but the captain said: Mo- there is a better place about three miles from here and she will easily float that long, .,--
 "The testimony showed that there was a stowaway in the forward water tight compartment. When the vessel struck his cries caused the sailors to rush down and thoughtlessly open the compartment which allowed the sea to come rolling in. This was done with out the captains knowledge. and l think excused him from thinking the vessel would float several hours. It was established that if the pilot had carried out his intention, he could have ootten her on the beach without the loss of any lives except that of the stOwaWay."

WAS BURNED AT STAKE
ABE WILDER, MURDERER, VIC
 TIM OF MOB.
Had Slain Mrs. Caldwell, a Bride of Six Months and 300 Men Took Law into Their
 Hands.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 20.-A dispatch re- ceived here tonight from Whitesboro, Tex, is to the effect that the negro Abe Wilder, charged with the murder of Mrs. Caldwell, the wife of Gray son County farmer, at her home on Saturday last, was captured by a mob and burned at NeIson's ranch, two and one half miles east of Red Ranch.
 The burning occurred early tonight. The mob was composed of 300 men.
 The negro was taken to a tree and swung up in the air. Wood and coal were piled beneath his body and hot fire made. Then it was suggested that the man ought not to be permitted to die too quickly, and he was let down to the ground while a party went to Dexter, about three miles distant, to procure coal oil. This was thrown on the flames and the work completed.
 Wilder was captured near Dexter about ? o'clock this afternoon. He had been seen the day before by a negro who knew him, and who had informed the citizens of the fact. A posse was at once organized and the work of beat ing the Red River bottoms began. It is said that it was the intention of the mob to take him back to the scene of his crime and there lynch him, but messages by telegraph and telephone gave warning that the authorities were hastily repairing to the scene with a considerable force. and the work of eX- ecution was expedited.
 At Whitesboro a great crowd had gathered in anticipation of a chance to participate in the lynching, and when it was learned that the work had been done. they expressed great disappoint- ment.
 Mrs. Caldwell was a bride of six months.
 Dexter is far removed from railroads. There are no telegraphic facilities, and it will be some time before the details of the lynching will be known.

New Explanation of Loop.

New York. Aug. 2o.-Walter B.. Adams. of Gloucester. Mass. a sea- man. who claims to have been sta- tioned at the wheel of the Brooklyn in the battle of Santiago is quoted as giving a new explanation of the loop made by Admiral Schley's flagship, ac-- cordiRg to a special from Bellows Falls. Vt. Adams says that when the Viscaya was pointing her course. with the evident intention of ramming the Brooklyn. Commander Hodgkins, the navigating officer. issued the order to put the wheel hard down.
 This would have thrown the Brooklyn directly toward the Viscaya. Adams says he understood the order. but invol- untarily threw the wheel hard up." causing the Brooklyn to swing away from the Spanish ship. Noticing his mistake instantly he eased the wheel down. and in getting the ship back to her course the loop was formed, which Adams says was not over half a mile in length.

SELLS NOT A CANDIDATE
The Democrats of Iowa Must Look Further for Man to
 Nominate.

Des Moines. Ia, Aug. 20.-At noon prac- tically all of the Democratic leaders of the State had arrived in the city to at- tend the State Convention, which opens tomorrow in the Auditorium at il o'clock. The convention will place in nomination a cs rdidats for Governor, Lieutensht- Governor. Railroad Commissioner and Su- preme Court Judge.
 EeaffIrmati on of the principles adopted by the Kansas City platform concerning the monetary question will undoubtedly be passed. The silver men announced this morning through their leader, John $. Murphy, of Dubuque, that they will be content to have simple indorsement of the pla'torm without any elaboration as to doctrine. and little. if any, eulogy of Bryan.
 Silver men already on the ground claim that those who opposed the Kansas City platform will not number more than 300 out of the l, ,450 delegates.
 Unquestionably the feature of the con- vention will be the adoption of a plank in the platform calling for the just and equal assessment of railroad and corpOr- ate property. and denouncing the Repub- llcan platform recently adopted at Cedar Rapids as meaningless and without back bone.
 Cato Sells of Vinton, who last year headed conservative delegation to the Kansas City Convention, but afterwards took up the cause of silver for the good of the party, is the most talked-of-man to head the ticket Sells is pronounced anti-railroad man, and was the author of the anti-railroad clause in the Democratic platform of last year. Sells was United States attorney in the Iowa district under Cleveland.
 Cato Sells said he would not accept the nomination for Governor on the Demo- cratic ticket He said:
 "I am not only not a candidate, buC l will not permit my nomination.
 The fight between the Kansas City and Ohio platform is expected to come to a head in the committee meeting and may not get to the floor of the convention.

 "There are no more than 13.500 Boers now under arms. Although they are no longer able to undertake extensive operations, their apparently inexhaust- i've supplies of food enable them to maintain an obstinate resistance with out retaining anything or defending the smallest portion of this vast country
 "The wearing down process is neces- sarily slow, rendering the employment of a large number of troops still neces- sary."
 Since this dispatch was written the losses of the Boers have brought their forces down to about il, ,000

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Few Negroes Will Be Seated as Dele
 gates to Convention.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. 20.-The RepubN- can State Convention will meet here to- morrow. Col. J. Hampton Hoge of Roanoke will probably be the nominee for Governor. Gen. Thomas L. Rosser of Charlottesville is a possible candi- date for Governor. A. F. Gillespie or TazewelL will almost certainly be the nominee for Lieutenant Governor
 For the first time in many years in this State, the Republican State Con- vention will seat few negroes. The delegates have been chosen from among the whites in pursuance of policy which seems to have been adopted to that end.
 The platform will endorse the na- tional administration and reaftirm the principles of the Republican party; ap- prove the policy of Mckinley, both for eign and domestic. It will denounce the Democratic party and the Consti- tutional Convention for curtailing the franchise as the last hope of maintain ing Democratic domination.
