RECOVER MORE GOLD.
Detectives Find S65.OOO More of BuI-
lion Stolen from the seIby snielt-
ing Compnny's Plant.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-It was stated
at the office of the Selby Smelling COM
pany that force of divers under the
management of the Pinkertons had
taken S65,00O worth of gold from the
spot where it was hidden by Winters,
making nearly 100000 already recov-
cred. 1t is expected that the remain
der of the stolen treasure, amounting
to $4,000, will be recovered inside of
"a hours. Winters is still detained by
the officers in the city, but has not
been formally charged with the crime.
The fact that he has not been charged
with any crime lends additional weight
to the belief entertained in some quar-
tiers that he will be leniently dealt
with by the officers of the law for
oonfessing the crime and locating the
spot where he secreted the bullion.

THE SHAMROCK ARRIVES.
Sir Thomas bipton's New Yacht
Reaches New York and Is EN-
Enthusiastically Greeted.

New York, Aug. 13.-The new Amer
ica's cup challenger Shamrock II. lay
at anchor off Sandy Hook lghtship
Sunday night and Monday was towed
up the bay to Tompkinsville, Staten
Island. She will be taken at once to
the Erie basin, where she will be
stripped and her racing mast stepped.
Her spars are ready and there win be
no delay in getting her in racing trim.
Whether she will go into dry dock TO
have her underbody cleaned before
her trials outside is not yet known.
The challenger of 1901 received lively
and enthusiastic welcome from every
craft in the harbor as she came up the
bay in tow of the tug Robert Haddon.
She had her first taste of the enthu-
siasm with which she was to be greet
ed when two tugs filled with newspa-
per men and the team pilot boat New
York reached her anchorage near
Sandy Hook lightship at daylight. The
shippers of the tugs loosed their
whistles and the New York walled
salute with her siren. The Erin ac-

their first glimpse of the new chal-
lenger by daylight. The grace and
beauty of the lines of her slender body
were marred by her cumbrous cruis-
ing rig and the litter and confusion on
her deck as her crew were preparing
to weigh anchor. But one glance was
sufficient to convince the experts that
Watson had built a much handsomer
boat than the old Shamrock.
She looks the fastest boat ever
turned out in British waters. One of
her beauties is Watson's peculiar tilt
of the counter. There is no flatness
or tumble home along the top sides.

appearance of speed. She was painted

her upper works had been scraped off
in many places by the seas she had en-
countered, and these spots showed the
manganese bronze of which she is con-

Capt. Hamilton, navigating officer
! of the Shamrock, stated to a press
representative that the yacht had
been towed about two-thirds of the
way from the Azores.

the way. They got into the tail end

NO COUNSEL FOR SAMPSON.
Not Entitled to n Representative Be-
fore the Schley Court of In
quiry.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Specu.ation
has been INDUCED in lately at the navy
department as to whether Admiral
Sampson will be repre- by coun-
sci in the forthcoming Schley court of
inquiry and whether Judge Advocate
General Lemly will call upon the gov
ernment for legal assistance in hand
ling the case. Examination of the
law in the premises elicits the fact that
Admiral Sampson is not entitled to
legal representation at the hearings of
the court. From an official view
point Admiral Sampson does not figure
in the inquiry at all.
1t is improbable also that Capt.
Lemly, judge advocate of the proposed
court of inquiry, will ask the govern
ment for assistance in handling the
case. ~

A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 14.-Thirty men

death list of an awful calamity which
occurred at an early hour this morn

Of tunnel workmen who live at the
crib were caught like rats N trap,
and either had to jump into the lake
and possibly drown, or else go back
into the tunnel to probable death by
suffocation. 1t is known that at least
three men were drowned and num-
Der were rescued. They belonged to
the shift that was resting at the
time and were forced to jump into
the lake to escape death by fire.
Many of them were badly burned,
others slightly. However, the 30 men
who We're at work in the tunnel at
the time the fire broke out may all
be dead from suffocation. The life
saving crew, fire tug Clevclander and
other tugs were early on the scene
and the tiremen had the flames under
control at 1880 a. m.
The opinion of some was that the
tunnel men had perished for want of
air. Others thought they were safe.
as the compressed air was possibly
not shut off. The tug Sprankle

naked men to shore, where several
of them were taken in ambulances to

WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.
Ohio State Officials Intend 10 Go Gum
ming for the United States steel Cor
pOrntIon.


Columbus, o., Aug. 14.---Ex-Attor-
ney General Monnett,a as attorney for
the Antitrust league, yesterday fled
with the secretary of state a
list of interrogatories concern
ing the status of the constituent
companies of the United States Steel
Corporation doing business in Ohio.
Mr.. Monnett asks what records have
been filNd by the companies in ques-
ton, and if none have been filed,
what action has been taken to re-,
cover the penalties provided for nom.
compliance with the law.
The secretary of state to-day will
forward to the president of the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation blanks
similar tn those sent to other foreign
corporations doing business in the
state, notifying the corporation that
the state is ready to receive the tax
due it under the law applying to
foreign corporations.
If the. company refuses to pay the
tax, suit will at once be brought to
kill it. If;fhe corporation consents
to pay the tax it will have qualified,it
is claimed, merely to do a legal busi-
ness in the state. The secretary of
state and Attorney General Sheets
say they are convinced that the con-
stituent companies are doing an ille-
gal business in the state, in that they
are connected with a trust. and,
whether the United States Steel Cor
poration pays the tax or not, pro-
ceedings will be brought against the
Ohio companies under the antitrust
law.
The state of Ohio has no jurisdic-
tion over the United States Steel Cor
poration as whole, and if the cor
poration's return to the secretary of
state satisfies him that it cannot
qualify to do business in Ohio, it is
possible that the attorney general of
the United States and the attorneys
general of all states in which the
steel trust operates may be asked to
bring proceedings against it.
Attorney General Sheets admitted
that such course is within
the range of possibility,
Columbus, Aug. 14.-Attorney Cen
eral Sheets has sent ior n transcript
of the testimony of President
Schwab, of the United States Steel
Corporation, before the Industrial
commission at Washington for use in
an investigation into that concerns
status under the state antitrust
laws. Attorneys here think. the
United States Steel Corporation can
defy the state officials, for. the rea-
son that it has simply bought a ma
jority of the stock OF the constituent
companies in this state-not the full
properties. For this reason the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation is nei-
ther a trust under the Ohio laws, nor
foreign corporation doing business
in this state.

WE'RE FOUND IN A FOREST.
Two Six-lnch Cannon Mt Santiago De
Cuba are stolen and Broken Up.

Santiago De Cuba, Aug. 14.-Several
days ago it was discovered that the
two-modern siX-inch Spanish guns
comprising the Punta Gorda battery,
which commands the entrance to
the harbor of Santiago, were missing.
Yesterday the harbor police discov-
cred the guns, which had been car
ried to forest on the other side of
the bay and been broken by explo-
sives, ready for shipment as old
metal.
Several Spanish ships had been
searched by the police, who expected
to discover that the guns were being
shipped by the. Spaniards to Spain.
The sentries surrounding them were
removed six months ago. 1t was
considered impossible to carry off
the guns and there was no fear of
malicious destruction. The thieves
are now in all.

New York, Aug. 14.-Appraiser
Wakeman said yesterday that he had
called in the goods of number Of
silk importing houses and is making
an examination to see whether the
goods have been properly appraised.
This is because of the belief that GER
tain examiners in the employ of the
government have been making large
sums of money from the importers
by undertaking Japanese silk. One
examiner is alleged to have received
$4,000 a year from silk importing
firms. Another was sent to Europe
and another has come into the pos
session of valuable real estate.

Appeal to Public for Aid.

The appeal for financial assistance
was prepared on Friday last, but was
not sent out until Monday. 1t reads
as follows:
ITO the Members OF Organized Labor
Brethren: AS you are undoubtedly aware
the United States Steel corporation are
now waging a war against organized labor
by making the Amalgamated association
the subject on which 20 begin operations.
At our last convention II was unanimously
decided to ask the United States Steel cor
poration. when settling their annual scale
with the Amalgamated association, that
they sign or recognize the scale of the
Amalgamated association in all their mills.
When the matter was broached the matter
was peremptoriy refused. After the hold
ing of several conferences, 1he demand of
our organization was modified so as to
take in only the mills of three of their
constituent companies. viz: The Amer
lean Sheet Steel company, the American
Tin Plate company and the American Steel
Hoop company, where local lodges had
been formed, and where the men were
very desirous of being union men, and We
are now out on strike for recognition.
"In the conferences which were held by
the representatives of the United States
Steel corporation and the Amalgamated
association, the representatives OF the
United States Steel company's only argu-
ments were that they did not desire the
Amalgamated association to become too
powerful, and that they should hold the

show of strength advantage is with
the former The general strike order
issued by President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated association, has so far
been obeyed by only about $4,000 men,
according to the best figures obtain
able here. The first two preliminary
calls were answered by about $4,000
men, so that the total number now
outside is in the neighborho of Co.,
600. The strikers made gains here
Monday over the showing of Sunday,
and their prospects for further ac-
cessions at both McKeesport and
Wheeling during the week are very
favorable. The action of the Amalga-
mated men at Chicago, Joliet and Bay
View in refusing to come out, and
their failure to secure any recruits in
the Carnegie group throughout the
Eiskiminetas valley and the big
plants at Youngstown and Columbus,
o., have been markedly disappoint-
ing to them. They are keeping up
the fight. however, in spirited man
ner, and claim that they have
strength in reserve which will sur
prise their opponents. They assert
that they have gained foothold in
the Carnegie mills in this city. and at
the time desired the men will come
out They are pressing their advan-
tages at McKeesport and Wheeling,
and their organizers are still at work
in those two cities

rnE DEATH OF REEFS w1xrex.

| The intelligence of the death of Rees
Winton comes as shock to the entire
commanlty. He died Sunday evening
lat 300 o'clock at the home of his parents
in this city, from consumption, which
was brought on from a severe attack of
the grip which he contracted while at :
tending school at Boulder. Although
he has been in poor health for the past
year the family did not give up hope for
his recovery until few hours before his
| death.
/ Rees was born in Knott, Tennessee,
July 4, 1879 and with his parents moved
| to Delta in 1881 and has lived here con-
tinuously ever since, with the exception
OF few months when he was attending
school at Boulder. He was a graduate
Of the Delta high school and a,smember
/ OF the class of 80
He was good boy and only those who
knew him intimately knew the depth
| OF his character. In the home his life
was one of rare beauty, with always
kind word for father, mother and sister.
His bright cherry presence left an infiu-
ence which will be unconsciously felt by
all who knew him. 1t has been said that
certain stars shed reflected light upon
earth after they have passed from the
tirmament. SO il will be with the inf1u-
uence of this young life just closed.
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church at 1880 Wednesday
forenoon. H. c. Getty, Clarence Smith
A.C. Remington. James Girardet. Harry
Stewart and Welland Jeffers acted as
pail bearers. The choir was made up as
follows: Miss Minnie jackson, Mrs. Wm.
Mathers, U. w. Keplinger and Welland
Jeffers with Mrs. A. b Crabill as organ
| ist.
The services were opened by the choir
singing Nearer My God to Thee after
which Rev. Rockingham read few
verses from first Epistle to Thess., fourth
chapter 18th verse; 1st Corinthians, 18th
chapter, oath verse and 2nd EpistIe to
Timothy. 2nd chapter, 3rd verse. After
the reading, prayer was offered up by
Rey. Layton. The choir then with
great deal of feeling sang, Asleep in
Jesus After reading from the l1th
chapter of Hebrews, Rev. Dubois pro-
ceeded with one of the NEST able funeral
sermons ever delivered in Delta. yR.v
Frothingham then made few remarks
after which the convreyatiop was nor.
mite to view the remains.
The interment took place eimmediately
after the services at the Delta cemetery.
The remains were followed to their las
resting place by large number OF
sorrowing friends and relatives.
