A COLORADO JUDGE.
His Decision that Aliens Cannot Sue
for Damages Is Said TO Violate Our
treaty with Italy.

Denver, Col, Aug. S.-Tnternational
complications have arisen between
the United States and Italy, on ac-
count of the decision of court that a
nonresident alien is not entitled to
sue for damages in the courts of Col
orado.
Several months ago Fenice Ferra-
rao, an Italian woman living in Italy,
brought suit for $1,000 damages
against the Auric Mining Co. in the
courts of Hinsdale county for the
violent death of her husband in the
Ute and Uray mine.
The suit was transferred to the
court of Pueblo county, and there the
decision was rendered that non-resi-
dent alien had no right to sue for
damages in the state.
Mrs. Ferrerao took the matter to
the Italian consul, Joseph Cuneo.
II will act without delay" said DR..
Cuneo. II am now preparing my re-
port, which will be sent to the pleni-
potentiary at Washington. He will
bring the case at once before the fed
eral government and | am satisfied
we will have immediate redress. A
decision such as was rendered in this
case is in direct violation of the
treaty of 1871, made with my coun-
trV"

THOUSANDS DROWNED.
Overflow ofthe Yang-Tse River Causes
the Death of Many Chinese.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. S.-Great
floods caused by the overflowing of
the Yang-Tse have caused the death
of many thousands in China. The
river has risen 40 feet and for hun
dreds of miles the country is Il great
lake, with only the tops of trees and
an occasional roof showing. At Nam
kin the town is flooded, some of the
houses to their roofs. At Kiu Kiang
the native town is flooded and two
feet of water stands in the foreign
settlements. Lower down the river
the destruction was greater and boat
men estimate that 10000 were
drowned in the district.
Chong Teh was wiped away by
floods and 10000 people drowned
there and many other points have
been inundated, involving awful loss
of life and great destruction to prop
erty. 1t was feared an embankment
built near WI Chang would break and
cause the drowning of hundreds of
thousands.

A WORLDWIDE COMBINE.
Window Glass Manufacturers are Said
to Plan a. Gigantic Industrial Trust.

Pittsburg, Aug. S.-The Times says:
Another vast industrial combination,
one of the greatest that has ever been
planned, is evidently under way and
two prominent Pittsburgers are taxi
ing the leading part in the consum-
nation of the project that has for its
object the placing in the power of one
corporation the control of the worlds
supply of window glass.
The proposed combination is to
take in all of the window glass manu-
facturers of the world, and if effected
the business will be conducted from
Pittsburg, as the nucleus of the or
ganization is the American Window
Glass Co., of this city. This company
practically controls the window glass
business of the United States and the
only factories in Europe that amount
to anything are in Belgium.
A combination of these, Judging
from the information from Brussels,
is now under way as one of the men
is accredited with being one of
Pittsburg's leading financiers, one
who has participated successfully in
previous deals of like nature, it is
safe to assume that the present one
will be consummated.
The Pittsburgers who are conduct
ing the negotiations are President
James A. Chambers and Vice Presi-
dent NJ. c. McMullin, of the American
Window Glass Co. They left this
city for Europe about ten days ago.

Ogdensburg, n. Y, Aug. s.-Efforts

MAC ARTHuR's REPORT.
Eso Tells of Progress Made by Ameri-
cans In the PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Aug. 9.--In'his annual
report Gen. MacArthurs says the cap
ture of Aguinaldo may be regarded as
the most momentous single event of
the year.
Speaking of Aguinaldo he says that
the important immediate results and
the remote consequences make it the
important event which he character
ICES it. He calls it a unique, isolated
military transaction. The capture
.dispelled the growing tendency to
idealize Aguinaldo's personality, and
to surround him with mythical leg
ends of invincibility, which millions of
natives believe to be true, and which
ultimately would success for the re-
bellion. Aguinaldo was the incar-
nation of the insurrection. His
death would have magnified the le
gends of invincibility, which millions
of natives believed to be true, and
which ultimately would insure success
for the rebellion. Aguinaldo was
the incarnation of the insurrection.
His death would have magnified the
legends which surrounded him, while
his capture dispelled great deal of
the fictitious value he had.
After discussing the various con-
tentions regarding the friars, Gen.
Macarthur says:
''Properly speaking, and in broad
scope, there is no church question in
the Philippines. Under conservative
procedure and if no extra-constitu-
tional methods are invoked there is
nothing to cause any considerable
public concern"
Gen. Mac Arthur says the Filipino
will work when properly paid, and
the Chinese are not necessary as la
borers, as has been claimed.
Under normal conditions, he says,
American trade will increase with the
growth of American ideas and intel
ngence throughout the archipelago.
Speaking of the conditions in the
Orient. Gen. Macarthur says: The
power that holds these is lands must
of necessity exert an active and po-
tential influence upon the affairs of
Asia"
Col. Groesbeck says that since Sep
tember /, 1900, 70 natives have paid,
with the death penalty, the debt of
murder, assassination and treachery,
while 50 others sentenced for similar
offences are now serving terms of life
Imprisonment.
Col. Woodruff, of the commissary
department, reports that his division
has supplied nearly 100000 persons
with food. He says that the present
army ration is about perfect for serv-
ice in the tropics. Col. Woodruff
discusses the charges of commissary
frauds in the Philippines and refers
to the action taken in the conviction
of the two officers and three commits
sary sergeants.
Major Sweet, reporting from the
third district of Gen. Kobbe's depart
ment, says that slavery, although not
recognized by the United States, is
still a fact and constant source of
trouble. He adds that thousands of
Moros are held as slaves, who are by
right free people.

Narrowly Escaped imprisonment.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. S.-Thomas Adj
erhold reached his home here yester-
day direct from the Transvaal, where
for IS months he ministered to the
sick and wounded Beers as a Red
Cross surgeon. Mr.. Aderhold says
the Beers are as far from defeat now,
apparently, as year ago, and that
they are confident of winning. His
return is, due to being captured by
the British and being sent from the
country. The English were very bit
ter at those aiding the Beers, and
only by persistent efforts of the
American consul was Mr.. Aderhold
permitted to escape a term at St.
Helena.

1861 he resigned his commission as
commander in the United States navy

eral in 1863. He commanded the
outer defenses of Mobile bay at

CRUISER IN BAD SHAPE.
The Columbia Leaks and Is Filthy
and Altogether Unseaworthy.

New York, Aug. 10.-A board of in
spection consisting of Rear Admiral
Evans, Naval Constructor Woodward,
Captain Folger and Lieut.. Rodgers
went to the navy yard Friuay for the
purpose of examining the collier Bru-
tus and the cruiser Columbia.
The navy yard board of survey
went aboard the Columbia on We'd
nesday and Admiral Barker's report
was forwarded to the department at
Washington on Thursday. 1t was
said that this report fully confirmed
the statements that had been made
regarding the filthy condition of the
Columbia, and it was owing to this
report that the board of inspection
was ordered to look into the mat
ter.
An officer of the navy yard said
yesterday that if the Columbia had
lain at League island much longer he
believes she would have sunk at her
moorings. He continued:
81 am surprised that the Columbia
reached here without more difficulty
than she encountered. There is not
a pump on the vessel that will work,
for the corrosion and rust that COW
ers everything. 1t is only by the
use of hand pumps that we can keep
her from settling in the water. Until
the pumps have been taken apart and
cleaned they are useless and we shall
have to keep her free from water by
the use of hand pumps. If she was
without care at the League island
navy yard, and she evidently was,
am surprised that she did not sink at
the wharf"

LABOR TROUBLES.
Uncertainty 10 Their Duration
Causes Hesitation In Trade.

New York, Aug. 10.-R. G. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
There is no complaint from any part
of the country over the volume of
current distribution of merchandise
and what hesitation is observed in
general trade is chiefly due to the
uncertainty as to the duration of the
labor troubles in the steel manufac-
ture. Collections continue good, bet
ter weather has helped the agricul-
tural classes, money is easy and
stocks of merchandise carried are
not above the average for this season
of the year.
Relief is felt in all departments of
the iron and steel industry, now that
uncertainty is ended and the position
of the contestants made clear. Now
the issue must be determined perma-
nently, and a settled condition will
greatly facilitate operations. Struc-
tural, wire and plate mills are not af-
fected, and the production of rails
will not be materially curtailed.
A healthy demand from domestic
millers and phenomenal Atlantic eX-
ports give strength to prices of
wheat. As the season advances it
becomes more apparent that foreign
crop losses will necessitate unprece-
dented shipments from the United
States.
Eastern shoe manufacturers find
conditions more encouraging. Pros
poets improve in the market for
wooden goods.
Failures for the week were 173 in
the United States, against III last
year, and 81 in Canada, against %
