an American SchOOncr.

Halifax, n. S., Oct. 1O.-Two Brit,
ish sailors, who had deserted from
the warship Niobe, were forcibly
taken from the American schooner
Mist yesterday afternoon. Warrants
for their arrest were issued by Adj
miral Frederick Bedford and a gov
ernment launch having on board a
squad of civil police AID an armed
escort of marines went out to the
schooner, which was lying in the
stream.
a demand was made for the men
and the captain of the vessel was
prepared to give them up, but the
sailors refused to come on deck. The
police boarded the schooner and fore
IDLY removed the men.
Previous to this action Admiral
Bedford had consulted with United
States Consul General Foster about
the matter. Mr.. Foster thought
that the marines had better not go
on board of the vessel. but gave his
consent for the civil police to take
the sailors.
In compliance with the consul's
wishes none of the marines boarded
the Mist. The two sailors viii be
court-martialed.

DEATH OF DR.. FUTILE.
Man who Discovered ThorIte, an Ex-
pIosIVc, Crosses the Divide.

Tacoma, Wash. Oct. 1O.-Dr. II. p.
Tuttle. we'll known as the inventor of
the explosive thorite, dropped dead
at his home in this city yesterday.
He was born in Iowa in 1914, came to
Tacoma in 1882 and practiced medi-
cine until about three years ago,
when he abandoned the profession to
study further the subject of eXplo-
sives, in which he had become inter
ested.
Thorite, the explosive which DIR.
Tuttle discovered, was the result of
experiments which he undertook in
Tacoma shortly after the discovery
of gold in the Klondike, when miners
were in need of some explosive that
could be used in the frozen ground of
that region. 1t proved to be a won
derful invention, and at once attract
ed the attention of army circles at
Washington. Arrangements were
made for testing the new explosive,
and its test fully justified the claims
DR.. Tuttlc had made for it. II pos
sessed remarkable qualities for use in
projectiles intended to pierce heavy

a GREAT PROJECT.
A Portion of Carnesie's Wealth to be
Used In Building and Maiptaining "A
school Of Technology.

Pittsburg, Oct. 10.-In developing
the proposition made by Andrew Car
negie at the exercises incident to
Founders day las year, the trustees
of Carnegie Institute yesterday
adopted plans for the erection of one
of the largest and most complete
schools of technology in the world.
Mr.. Carnegie's proposition was that
he have the privilege of endowing and
maintaining a chronological school of
the highest order in the city of Pitts
burg, the city to provide the site.
Since then the trustees of the Car
negie Institute have haG experts at
work on the plans and scope of the
proposed school.
The proposed school will be bu;lt
at cost of several millions of dollars
by Mr.. Carnegie, and he will also be
asked to give at least $5.000,O00 for
maintenance. The city of Pittsburg
will be asked to contribute t0 acres
of ground for a site. An influential
committee on municipal relations was
appointed by the trustees, which COM
mittee will confer with the city au-
thorities at once in regard to the do
nation of land. and it is confidently
believed the pan will go through
without hitch.

CHARLESTON'S BIG SHOW.
Exposition There VIII be Opened TO
the Public on December IA Large
Number of ENhIbiIs are Promised.

Washington. Oct. 10.-Among Pre2i-
dent Roosevelt's callers yesterday was
John Averill, the director general of
the Charleston, S. G., exposition,
which is to open on December l. The
president assured Col. Averill of his
hearty interest in the success of the
exposition. Col. Averill is here on
business connected with the transfer
of the government exhibit at Buffalo
to the Charleston exposition.
He says the arrangements for the
exposition are in an advanced stage
of completion and that it will be
ready for opening on the date set,
December /. A number of states and
cities have erected buildings and 9TH
ers are making arrangements to that
end. The Exposition company pro-
vided 100000 square feet of floor space
for exhibits. This all has been dis
posed of. principally to exhibitors
now at Buffalo, and the company is
now adding $4,000 square feet addi-
tional. There will be ample accom-
modations for visitors. The city on
December / will have good hotel room
for 1000 persons and h5useholders in
that city will do as is being done in
Buffalo, open their houses for the re-
ception of guests.
Col. Averill also had a conference
with railroad officials in regard to
passenger rates and says he is fully
satisfied with the schedule proposed.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
II Demolished a Brass Foundry and
Wrecked IL Portion of Hotel al
Erie. PA.

Erie, Pa, Oct. 10.-Last evening a
large boiler in the brass foundry of
the Hayes Manufacturing Co., on
West Eleventh street, exploded with
terrific force and completely demol-
ished the three-story brick building
in which it stood. Adjoining this
building and directly back of the Lie
bel House, which fronts on State
street, was another three-story brick
connected with the hotel by a COW
cred passageway across the alley. The
floor of this building was used as a
store room, the second for sleeping
rooms for some of the girls and an
ironing room, and the third floor as
the hotel kitchen, the covered pas
sageway leading direct to the dining
room, which is on the second floor of
the hotel.
This hotel annex was also complete
ly demolished, nothing but portion
of the side wall remaining.
At the time of the explosion supper
was being served and six girls. who
were in the kitchen, were carried
down in the wreck. A general fire
alarm was sent in and in few mo-
ments the entire fire department was
at work eXtingushing the flames
which had started and rescuing the
injured, who were as follows:
Mrs. Ella Dolan, cook, badly burned
and cut, found wedged against hot
cooking range; may die.
Frances Levenbuski. both legs and
one arm broken, badly cut, injured
internally and will die.
Anna Schimagau, kitchen girl,
slightly injured.
Two Polish kitchen girls, only
slightly hurt.
May Bentley, dining room girl,
slightly hurt.
Jack Davidson, porter in saloon,
very seriously cut about neck and
shoulders by glass.
The hotel was badly injured by the
conclusion and all the windows
wrecked, as were all the plate glass
windows in the stores in that vicin-
ity. The drift of the explosion
passed through the hotel bar room
and that part of the hotel was COM
pletely wrecked. How any one es-
capped serious injury seems marvel
Gus.
The cause of the boiler explosion is
unknown. Damage to the Hayes
Manufacturing Co. and to the hote!
about $4,000.

practice of allowing these men to
control federal appointments is re-
garded as an important cause of the
perpetuation of solid democratic
south. The heart of the evil lies i'll
the continuance of party cleavage
along the color line.
1t is believed that President Roose-
welt is seriously seeking some means
of changing this chronic situation.
President Mckinley succeeded in ban
ishing the last of the old sectional
spirit, and Mr.. Roosevelt is ambitious
to complete the good work by break
ing up the pernicious party division
on the color line. He hopes to see
southern voters supporting whatever
economic policy seems best for their
local interests, just as voters do in
the north. 1t would be great bene-
fit to the south and to the whole
country if this change could be
brought about.
If any man can create more health
full political conditions in the south
it should be President Roosevelt. He
is animated by a sincere desire to do
what is best for the south rs well as
for the rest of the country. He is
popular in that section, as elsewhere.
He has no political pledges binding
him to the party machine anywhere.
That he has the independence to act
as he believes best nobody will ques-
ton If he shall see fit to ignore
party lines in his southern appoint
ments or to take any similar steps
toward winning the support of the
best element to the people, he may
be able to accomplish beneficent
changes and at the same time add
to the strength of his party. His
policy in the south will be watched
with interest and we believe with APP
proval by the whole country.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

contentment among the people and
they are drawn together by
Christening affliction as they never
were before. With few exceptions the
fights are to be made between those
who are after the tieshpots.
Virginia can be relied upon to be
true to her traditions and go demo-
cratic. In Maryland the ground is
so debatable as to suggest a toss-up,
all depending upon the hold which
Senator German has upon the ele-
ment which constituted the simon
pure democratic party of yore. In
Pennsylvania there is a puZzling po-
sition. There is a fusion of those OPP
posed to Quayism, but it is a. ques-
tion whether the machine will not
find a way to break the force of pop
ular sentiment when it comes to
voice itself at the polls. New Jer-
sey, Ohio and Massachusetts can be
relied upon to elect their republic
an tickets, for every material consid-
GRAFTON tends to confirm them in the
wisdom of sticking to the party un-
der which the nation is doing so well.
1t is n significant fact that in the
state which gave us Mckinley the dem
ocrats are merely going through the
forms in perfunctory way, clearly
indicating that they are content at
this time to simply maintain their
organization.
Iowa will return to the days of re-
publican landslides, and the proba-
bilities are that Nebra ska will stand
by the administration party. 1t is
true that the so-called democrats and
popuIists have joined forces out there
and have Endorsed Bryan as well as
the Chicago platform, but in this
there is the prophecy of defeat, for
there is sturdy common sense among
the majority of her people, and they
have not delegated their free agency
to designing political leaders. In any
event there is to be no disturbance
of business, nor is there the slightest
sign of such political reversal next
year as swept the country in 1892.
Three years of prosperity, straight
away, can reasonably be counted up
on.-Detroit Free Press.

PRINCE CHlNG'S DEMAND.
He Requests that Foreign Business
Houses Withdraw from Pekin.


Pelin, Oct. 10.-Prince Ching has
written letter to the minister
of the powers requesting a
withdrawal from Pekin of the foreign
business establishments. He says
that Pekin is not a treaty port, that
foreign business houses are illegally
established here and that all such
should be moved to treaty ports. He
desires the ministers to secure their
removal.
The ministers have arranged a
meeting on the request of DR.. Mumm
Won Schwartzenstein German min
ister) to endeavor to agree upon joint
representations in opposition to
Prince Ching's demand. a contro-
versy regarding the payment of tariff
duties by foreign merchants appears
to have precipitated the issue. One
foreign house doing a large business
with the Chinese objected to the tax,
arguing that the goods were for the
use of the legations.
Prince Ching points out vhat goods
required by the legations can be or
dered by them from treaty ports and
when so ordered are not dutiable The
lorelgn business community III Hekln,
although small, is important. Its
presence is essential to the comfort
and convenience of the legations.
Foreign houses began to be located
in Pekin in the SOS with the tacit
consent of the Chinese. The Yoko-
hama specie banks intend to estab-
lish branches here and there are now
many foreign shops, the German pre-
dominating, in the vicinity of the le-
cation quarter.

A MAN HUNT IN FLORIDA.
Murd of Two People Is Captured
After IA Desperate Fight with n Sher-
ifI'sk Posse.


Madison, Fla, Oct. 1O.-Will Jones,
a negro outlaw, is in Jail here serious
ly wounded after a desperate fight
with a posse of officers. Immediately
preceding his fight with the officers,
Jones killed woman because of
jealousy and also negro man.
Sheriff Armstrong was notified of the
murder of the woman in the south
eastern part of the county, and with
deputies hurried to the scene. He
found that the woman had been shot
down Is she sat by the side of her
husband in her room and that Jones
had escaped to the woods. The out
law in the meantime in his fight had
run upon Dan Anderson, white man,
who was hunting, and believing the
man was an officer, without warning
shot him down. Jones was finally
surrounded in vacant house, but
kept the small posse at bay with his
rife and finally escaped.
The sheriff increased his posse and
resumed the hunt, following the trail
for miles. The negro was finally
surrounded on a live oak prairie near
Higdon. At the sight of the posse
the outlaw opened fire and a vigorous
fusillade continued for several min
utes. After the smoke had cleared
away, Sheriff Armstrong and Deputy
Marlborough were both wounded.
Neither officer is fatally wounded.
The outlaw was found PROSTATE in his
own blood, with several wounds in his
body

feet of coal, in two veins, ten feet
apart, with slate and sandstone inter
vening, have been discovered at
Swedeburg, few miles south of this
place. The veins were struck at a
depth of 235 feet and the coal is of a
good bituminous variety. There has
been for several years a standing
offer by the state of a reward for the
discovery of vein of coal of 26
inches or more and the owners of the
farm on which the vein was found
have filed afiidavits of the discovery
Nth the secretary of state.

NOTHING TO HINDER 1T.
The Outlook for Continued Prosper
ity and Good Times remains
Undimmed.

One of the marvels of the civilized
world was that this vast country could
come through the crisis precipitated
by the assassination of its chic f eXecu-
tive without a perceptible jar to its
financial and commercial interests. 1t
supplied tribute to the poise and self
command of our people that attracts
the respect of all other powers. 1t is a
repeated lesson of history that reac-
ton must come at some time, but at
present there is not an alarming
symptom in evidence. Even the po-
litical skies are clearer than usual
and a familiar menace to continued
prosperity is eliminated. 1t is the
repetition of truism to say that
our elections come too often, but
when they are not attended with ele-
ments of danger and are not too Sc
rious a disturbance of business, it is
a matter of congratulation.
Fall campaigns are to occur this
year in eight states, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Ohio, Iowa and Ne
bras<a. Even if there were bitter
fights TO be waged in each of these
states the local disturbances would be
scarcely perceptible to the masses
constituting our national citizenship
or those affairs upon which general
prosperity is dependent. In the fall
of 1851, following the death of Gar
field, political controversies were ac-
rimonious and party lines were
closely drawn. Now there is a com
parative Indifference because there is

OPPOSE DR.. kOCH'S THEORY.
American Physicians, Led by Chfs
cago Man, Express Their Disbelief
IN HIS IdeaE.

The theory advanced by Prof. Koch
that tuberculosis germs were not
communicable from the bovine to the
human animal has failed to meet with
the approval of the physicians Of
America. At the twenty-ninth annual
convention of the American Health
association. held in Buffalo the other
day, resolutions assailing. the Koch
theory were passed.
DR.. Liston H. Montgomery, of Chi
cago, who attended that convention.
has returned to Chicago and told of
the work done by the convention. 1t
was DR.. Montgomery who introduced
the resolutions assailing the Koch
theory and demanding that proper
precautions be taken to prevent the
spread of consumption. These resolu-
tions were passed by vote of 50 to l.
At the convention, which was at
tended by eminent specialists from
Canada, the United States and Mexico,
the first days session was devoted to,
the discussion of the causes of tuber-
culosis and the methods best calcu-
lated to prevent its spread.

THE SOUTH AND ROOSEVELT.
Banishmcnt of the Old Sectional
Spirit Is Undoubtedly in
Prospect.

The fact that President Roosevelt
recently invited Booker 7. Washing.
ton to the white house for a confer
ence of several hours on southern po.
litical subjects is justly regarded as
significant. His action in taking coun-
sci of the most highly cultivated
member of the colored race indicates
an intention of breaking away from
conventional methods in the south.
In a conference with Vice President
Roosevelt several months ago Booker
Washington remarked that il the re-
publican party wished to command
general respect and allegiance in the
south it should begin by getting the
best white residents to fill the federal
offices in the southern states regard
less of party lines. He said this
would be best for white and black
alike. His ideas were so clear and
sensible that Mr.. Roosevelt evidently
has wished to hear them more in de-
tail.
The southern people always have
complained that the federal Offices
in that part of the country were con-
trolled. under republican administra-
ton, by an insignificant handful of
professional southern republicans
who were in politics for the Offices
and who did not represent the best
elements of the community in which
they lived. 1t is asserted that these
machine politicians, by attempting to
exploit the negro vote. are keeping
alive racial prejudice and doing harm
to blacks and whites alike. The

ryThe fall elections of 1901 will not
make any important change in the po-
htical situation such as happened in
1881 after the death of Garfield. There
are no factions in the republican party
now as there were then. The elections
will be quiet affairs and quietest on the
democratic side because there is less
life there than usual. As matter of
fact, the only election which promises
to be a lively one is the municipal cleo

succeeding administrations. This
change would be due no doubt to the
tragedy at Buffalo, and is one that
had some measure of progress hither-
to. The public receptions at the
white house are great burden upon
its occupants. They amount to little
more, so far as the public is con-
cerned, than an opportunity to shake
hands with the president and his
wife. On occasions the wives of cabi-
net officers were added to the line,
but there was sometimes little in the
way of personal presentation. While
the function may have been source
of some pleasure to those who gained
admittance, it was nothing short of
a trial to those who for hours were
compelled to withstand the strain of
shaking hands with a motley multi
tude. Anyone who has ever under
gone or even witnessed such a pro-
cedure must have a comprehensive
idea of the burden it imposes upon
those chiefly concerned.
