John r. Tanner, former Governor o.
Illinois, is dead. Rheumatism of the
heart attacked him Thursday afternoon
and was fatal within half an hour.
His end was as sudden as it was uneX-
pected. Outside of his family and imme-
diate personal friends. nobody in Spring
field knew he was i'll. They thought, al
though he had been confined TO his room
in the Leland Hotel for nearly week,
that he was suffering only a slight indis~
position which would pass off after Few
days of rest and care.
Mrs Tanner and her sister, Mrs. Cor
burn Fields Buck. were the only persons
in the room when the former Governor
died. The physician, called when his
symptoms became alarming, arrived toe
late
The former Governor returned from
Chicago the previous Saturday complain
ing of rheumatism in the left side. He
had such pain at times that he kept to
his apartment, but he was not confined to
the bed. He was up less than an hour
before the fatal attack. His son, Col.
j. Mack Tanner, called at . o'clock and
remained with him not more than fifteen
minutes. The former Governor dictated
a couple of kilograms which he wanted
sent Immediately and asked after some
business matters. He made no complaint
of suffering.
Soon after his son left. Mr.. Tanner be-

STRIKE INFLUENCE SMALL.
Seen to Have Very little Effect on
Tra1a

General Trade.
THE labor situation is the cleGd hover
ing ever the business world, but The diff
c-lties are not sufficiently widespread at
present seriously TO interfere with the
progress of manufacture and distribution.
Some settlements Of strikes have been
effected during the week and others seem
probable at an early date. Meanwhile
prices hold firm, the capacity of prodrc-
ing plants in the leading industries IS
well employed and crop advices are sat
isfactory," says the weekly trade review
of Z. g. Dun & Co. 1t continues: "A
feeling Of confidence in the permanence
of values appears TO have settled in all
divisions of the iron and steel manufac-
ture. To this may be attributed the de-
crease in orders for distant delivery, pur-
chasers merely contracting for their re-
quirements for one to two months in ad-
vance. Tranquility regarding the future
is undoubtedly due to the action of the
large combination, which has made no
effort TO secure exorbitant prices, but
manifests an intention TO maintain quo
tations at the current level Failures for
the week numbered $50 in the United
States, against 1S5 last year and % in
Canada, against 20 last year.

MUCH SUFFERING IN ALASKA.

Government Offers to Transport All
Supplies for Destitute Natives.
Reports received of the Interior De
partment in Washington through official
sources in Alaska contain stories of great
restitution and suffering among the ma
tives in the valley of the Kushokim river.
The people have no means of support,
their numbers have been devastated by
ravages of the grip, and their dogs, on
which much reliance for assistance ID
maintaining a livelihood is placed. are
dying. There are no government funds
available to assist these people, but In
terror Department officials suggest that
If charitably disposed persons forward
supplies to Seattle arrangements will be
made for their transportation to Alaska
by the revenue cutters which cruise in
the waters Of that country. One priest
reports that there were 800 deaths among
the people coming under his supervision,
the population thereby being reduced in
numbers from 500 to. 500.

A NEW SHIP CANAL.

Proposal to Connect New York with
Albermarle Sound.
An earnest effort is now being made for
the construction of a new inland water
way in this country. The proposed route
would rim from Albemarle sound to
Chesapeake bay, thence, following the
line of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal, to the Delaware river. The lat
ter stream would be connected with the
Raritan river, which enters Raritan bay
to the west of the lower harbor of New
York. This waterway would be a useful
artery for the vast seaboard commerce.
and big ships would constantly pass
through in safety without fear of sudden
storm. New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore would be brought into closer
community in their commerce, and it
would rebound to the benefit of all. In
times of national danger it would be Of
the greatest Importance. Even were the
whole seaboard blockaded commerce
would continue to float through the canal
without interruption.
A bill calling for the appropriation of
$4,000 for securing an estimate Of the
cost of the national ownership of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal. as a
link in the proposed waterway, was be-
fore the last Congress and was favorably
regarded by both houses. But it shared
the fate Of the river and harbor bill.
which Senator Carter Of Montana talked
to death. The same measure will come
before the next national Legisla ture and
its friends claim that there is no ques-
ton as to its passage.
The new waterway is to have a depth
Of thirty feet and will be able to accom-
mediate the largest vessels in our navy.
The proposed link connecting the Della
ware river with the Raritan river hax
already been surveyed, and from time 10
time there have been efforts to push II
to completion. The connecting link at the
southern end would probably be by way
of the present Dismal Swamp canal from
which a waterway might be secured from
the Chesapeake to Albemarle sound in
North Carolina.

CADETS FIGHT BLOODY DUE
One Dying of Knife Wound and Other
in GuardEouse.


The other morning, just after reveilie,
two cadets attending the State industrial
school at Rochester, n. Y, had an alter
cation which resulted in their drawing
knives and engaging in Il bitter fight. Ar
thur Colby, II years of age. Of Canton,
y. Y, came out of the encounter with Il
long, irregular knife wound in his side.
The boys have a rule among themselves
never to tell anything that takes place
inside their institution, no matter how
serious the case may be, and the best
that Coroner Killip could get from the
lips Of the dying boy was that there was
a friendly scuffie in which he got hurt.
Others who were present at the time did
not see the fight, and it is with the great
est difficulty that anything can be found
out. The cadet who used the knife with
such deadly effect is Henry Caraher of
Utica, who is now confined in the guard
house
