was caused by the issuance of the gov4

for this year at 8 ,600,00O bales. This is
over three-quarters of million bales
less than the crop last year, which was
only about two hundred thousand more
than the governments estimate. Ii
the estimate for this year comes as
near being correct. the crop will still
be about six hundred thousand bales

FIGHT WITH BOERS
ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN FORCES
OF DIXON AND DELAREY. :
The British Lost IA Killed and Wounded and
the Beers Left IS Dead on the Field
The South Africans Were Driven Back
Battle Was on Anniversary Of Lord Rob-
erts' Entry Into Johannesburg.

London, June 3.-The war Office
today gave out the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, from Pretoria !:
General Dixon's force at Vlad-
fontein was attacked yesterday by
Delarey's forces and there was sevree
fighting. The enemy was eventually
driven off with heavy loss, leaving 35
dead. I regret that our casualties
also were severe. The killed and
wounded numbered 174. Four Off
GERS were killed"
On the anniversary of Lord Rob-
erts' entry into Johannesburg the
country has been startled by the news
OF desperate fighting and heavy Brit
ish losses within 40 miles of the gold
reef city. The battle at Vladfontein,
on the Durham j johannesburg rail-
road, is the most serious engagement
since General Clements reverse at
Nagaliesburg. It shows General De
larey is in no way daunted by the
capture of IL OF his guns by General
Babington six weeks ago. The gar
rison of yiadiontein was apparently
largely composed of yoemanry. That
their assailants came to close quar-
ters and suffered heavy loss is shown
by the number of dead left on the
field,

IN A RUSSIAN JAIL.
Prominent American Confined Arbitrarily in
Neya Fortress.

New York, June 3.-The Press
this morning publishes statement
that L. James Gordon, sales and con-
tracting agent in Russia Of the Bald
win Locomotiv e Works, disappear
ed in st. Petersburg last January,
and that his disappearance was caused
by his arrest.by the Russian authori
ties on charges unknown to, the pub
lie. On the day succeeding the arrest
st. Petersburg paper contained the
following notice: eMr. L. J. G.,
a prominent business man, was ar
rested yesterday" Those who know
Gordon knew that it referred to him,
but that ended the matter in st. Pte-
ersburg. It is only within few
weeks that it has become known that
he is confined arbitrarily in the fort
ress of the Neva. The American
ambassador has been asked to inter
est himself in the affair by brother
and two sisters of Gordon, who are in
this city at the present time, but
without result.

MRS. McklNLEY's CONDITION,
Doctors Say She Is Not Out of Danger
Grave Features of the Case.

Washington, June 3.-Mrs. Nc.
Kinley passed a very comfortable
night, and sat up for a while this
morning. The three physicians who
are in attendance, after consulta-
tion this forenoon, issued the follow
ing statement of her condition:
MRS. Mckinley is recovering
from the fatigue of the trip. The
illness from which she was suffering
in San Francisco still continues,
though in less intense form. She is
still feeble, and cannot be considered
out of danger. Her progress will no
doubt be slow, but improvement is
looked for.''
Mrs. Mckinley failed to show any
improvement during the day, and
tonight her condition is reported as
unchanged from the status given in
the bulletin issued this morning.
One Of the grave features of the case
is the fact that she continues ex-
tremely weak and fails to gain in
strength. She is very seriously i'll,
but has had severe attacks of illness
heretofore, and this gives rise for hope
that she will yet show improvement.

MOST UNIQUE CLAIMS.
Government win Be Asked to Restore Value
Of Bonds Burned.

Washington, June A. A most
unique claim will be presented at the
next congress. It is that of certain
heirs of Joseph L. Lewis, who was a
millionaire of Trenton, N. J. Lewis
was bachelor crank. His will pro-
vided bequests Of from $4,000 to
$100, 900 to various relatives and
directed that after these bequests
should be paid the residue of his
estate should be invested in govern
ment bonds. and as he expressed it,
sin order to reduce the public debt, !"
the bonds should be burned. His
wishes were carried out, 1895, 900 in
government bonds were purchased
and burned. This occurred 25 years
ago. Now certain distant relatives
who were not benefciaries of the will
are seeking to have the government
restore to the Lewis estate the value
of the bonds burned, and a bill pro-
yiding that this shall be done will be
introduced. in the next congress.

HER CASE CRITICAL.
Mrs. Mckinley. Condition Causes Much
Concern.

Washington June Mrs. Nc
Kinley continues very weak. Her
condition is not greatly changed from
that of yesterday, but each day that
elapses without a gain in strength
lessons her power of recuperation.
The complaint which came near end
ing her life in San Francisco is still
present. It is in a slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the ply
sicians and president much concern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remarkable
vitality, but her illness has SO re-
duced her strength as to leave her
very feeble indeed. 1t is feared that
unless a change for the better soon
manifests itself, her strength may
become so near exhausted as to
leave her without rallying power.
The news given out by the physi-
clans in attendance today was not
reassuring. though hope of better
things still continues. After con-
sultation between the doctors the
following bulletin was issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed comfort
able night, but her condition has not
materially changed since the report
of yesterday"

TRADE RELATIONS RESTORED
Our Exports to Spain This Year Promise to
Break all Records.

New York, June 5.-A special from
Washington says:
Commercial relations Nbetween
Spain and the United States seem to
be fully restored and it is not improb-
able that American exports to that
country in the fiscal year 1901 will
be greater, with possibly single ex-
ception, than in any preceding year.
Exports from the United States to
Spain in the nine months ending
with March, 1901, were valued at
$11, ,879, 349, against $7,091, o43 in
the corresponding period in the fiscal
year 1899. The figures for the year
up to this time indicate that the total
exports from the United States to
Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be
about SIG, 5000
On the import side the figures OF
the present fiscal year are largely in
excess of those of 1899, though slight
ly less than those of 1900 which were
the largest since 1891. The annual
imports from Spain into the United
States since 1891 have ranged from
So, 500, 600 to $4,000, 600, averaging
about 81, 500, 900, while for the pres.
Eent fiscal year they seem likely to ex'
ceed $5, 600, 900.

CHICAGO EMPLOYERS MEET.
Will Not Settle Machinists' Strike Unit
June II.

Chicago, June 5.-There will be no
settlement of the machinists' strike
in Chicago until June IL. This was
the decision of the local manufactur-
ers today, when the members of the
Chicago Association of Machinery
Manufacturers pledged allegiance to
the National Metal Trades Associa-
tion, and agreed not to enter into ne
gotiations until with any of their en-
ployes until after the great gathering
of employers in New York city June

While the manufacturers were dis
cussing their future action, the ma,
chinists were not idle, number OF
machinists leaving. the three plants
of the Crane Company to join the
strikers Statements differ as to
the number of men who left the
Crane plant. Besides these men, 80
workmen struck in three other places,
while agreements were signed with
five firms whose names would not be
given out.

BUTTE AGAIN SLIDING.
The Strange Phenomenon Causes Alarm
Amouns the Citizens.

Butte, Mont, June 5.-The strange
sliding movement of the city of
Butte which has been noticeable at
intervals for several years has again
manifested itself by five large cracks
in the earth in different sections of
the city. The largest crevice was II
inches wide and of considerable
length and depth. Three of the..open-
ings occur on the west side of town
and two on the east side. There is no
caVing, but distinct parting of the
earth, and the granite walls can easily
be seen in them. The gas and water
companies have much trouble on ac-
count of the strange movement, which
frequently breaks their underground
pipes. The city engineer says the
engineering department of the city
encounters the same trouble as .eleva-
tions and bench marks in certain
parts of the city are constantly chang
ing. The continuance of the strange
phenomenon is beginning to cause
some alarm among the citizens of
Butte.

ALLIED TROOPS FOUGHT.
British Police Tried to Prevent French From
tiousebreakins.

Tien Tsin, June 5.-There was
serious affray yesterday between inter-
national troops. Some British fusil-
eers, who were acting as police here,
sought to prevent French soldiers
from house breaking, when they were
attacked with bayonets and bricks.
The fusileers, in self defense, fired
into the air. This brought num-
ber of Germans to the aid of the
Frenchmen. They numbered alto
gether 300 men. Five fusileers fired
again, killing one Frenchman and
wounding three others. In subse-
quent fighting, four fusileers, five
Germans and one japanese were
wounded. The arrival of German
officer and a strong guard ended the
fray

San Francisco, June 8. = The
steamer City of Sydney, which just
arrived here from Panama and other
Central American ports, brings the
following budget of news:
When the. City of Sydney was at
Corinto the people were expecting G
an invasion from Colombia. The
government of Nicaragua, in order
to make sure that it would not be
caught mapping, has stationed SOC
men at Corinto.
General Bruise, who fled from Mic
aragua some years ago, returned to
his home on one of the Central
American steamships last month.
As soon as he set foot on Nicaragua
soil he was arrested on a criminal
charge.

AN EXTRA SESSION
OFFICIALS FINALLY ADMIT THAT
1T Is QUITE PROBABLE.
1t All Depends Upon Whether the President
Has Power to Impose Customs Duties on
Trade Between the United States and the
Philippines Of Congress Haw
Scattered for the Summer.

New York, June 5.-A special from
Washington says:
Officials of the administration for
the first time since the announce
ment of the decisions of the supreme
court in the insular cases, admit that
there is possibility of an extra ses-
sion of congress in July. If Attorney
General Knox, after careful review
of the decisions, concludes that the
president will not have power under
the Spooner amendment to the army
appropriation bill to impose duties
on goods going into the Philippines
from the United States or coming
into the United States from the Phil
ippines, the president will seriously
consider the advisability of issuing
an immediate call for an extra ses-
sion of congress. This statement is
made on the authority of a member
of the cabinet.
Attorney General Knox and Secre-
tary of War Root have spent consid-
erable time discussing the legal
points involved. Mr.. Knox is work
ing hard on his opinion, in order to
have it for the next cabinet meeting.
This meeting is expected to be. of
very great Importance.
A call for an extra session would
play havoc with the summer plans
of senators and representatives.
They have scattered to the four corners
of the earth. Several are about to
start for the Philippines. Quite a
number are either in Europe or in
tending to 60 shortly. If congress
should be called back Immediately,
the house of representatives would
have difficulty in finding a place in
which to meet. The hall is complete
ly torn up and an army of workmen
is. engaged in the alterations made
necessary by the increase in the men,
bership of the house provided for by
the reapportinoment law enacted last
winter If the work should be pushed
night and day it would require several
weeks to get the hall in condition.

Fire RACED Ten DAYS.

Oaxaca, Mexico, June "details
of the great fire which ragged on the
isthmus of Tehauntepec for several
days have been received here. Over
70 people were unable to escape the
rapid progress of the flames and were
burned to death. The fire started
on coffee plantation, and owing to
the dryness of the vegation it was
soon beyond control and wrought
great destruction to growing crops.
Many thousands Of acres of coffee
trees, bananas, orange trees and other
tropical products were destroyed.
The fire burned for 10 days and was
finally quenched by heavy tropical
rain.

Burglar, Burned a Town.

Beaumont, Tex, June 5.-The
town of Jaspar has been entirely
wiped out by fire. Seventeen houses,
including every business house in the
place, and a number of residences,
were destroyed. The town has no fire
department. Previous to the fire the
postoffice safe and the safe of the
county treasurer had been blown open
and robbed The conclusion is that
burglars blew open these safes and
then set fire to the town to create ex-
citement that would afford them an
opportunity to escape.

SWEPT OVER A DAM.
Seven Persons Drowned in the SchuylkiIl
River.

Philadelphia, June 3.-A rowboat
containing party of eight young
people was swept over the Flat Rock
dam, in the Schuylkill river, and
seven of them, five girls and two
boys, were drowned. One young man
was saved.
The party, with large number of
others, organized a picnic. They en-
barked in gaily decorated wagons
early in the morning, and pitched
their camp at Rose Glen, along the
Schuylkill river, on the northern
outskirts of the city. The party split
up after dinner for row on the river.
Heavy rains during the past week
had made the muddy stream quite
high, and the current was much
swifter than usual. However, the
unfortunate party Immediately struck
out for midstream. All the girls
were huddled in the stern, one of the
bows was rowing and the others were
sitting in the bow of the boat. After
getting in the middle of the river,
and finding the current too swift fol
comfort, the boat was rowed in to.
ward the shore. During this time il
was being carried slowly down stream.
The boy doing the rowing decided
to go through the locks, and as he
approached the dam he was warned
by the lockkeeper not to approach
any closer. The warning was not
needed, and the young oarsman kept
on rowing until he found that the
lock was closed. He attempted tt
turn the boat, which was then about
SO feet from the dam and 25 feet
from the shore, but he turned the
wrong way. A moment later and the
boat was in the swiftly moving cur
rent. Swiftly it was carried toward
the brink of the falling waters, ane
just as it reached the breast of the
dam, over which 80 inches of watel
was pouring, the entire eight stood
up and the boat went over stern first
The drop to the rocks below is ap

struck the water bottom up, and a.

man was seen. to come to the sur
face and make a frantic effort t,

PLANS OF SEATTLE MEN.
Will Try to Get Non.Union Men in About
Sixty Days More.

Seattle, June 5.-If the strike OF
the metal working unions is not
settled within 60 days at the out
side, an effort will be made by the
manufacturers to operate their shops
with non-union workmen. A state
ment practically to this effect was
made today by leading member of
the Washington branch of the Metal
Trades Association of the Pacific
coast. It is said by members of the
Manufacturers Association that there
are plenty of non union machinists
in the East, who would readily ac-
cept work at the present scale of
wages in the Seattle shops.
