TAKING BIG CHANCES.
Boer Prisoners Risk Shots and Sharks
Trying to Escape.

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 21.-The
Boer prisoners of war confined on
Darrelrs island make almost nightly
attempts to avoid the patrolling at
Midway and gain the main land by
swimming. The water between OAR
rell's island and the beach is calm and
all night long the gunboats sweep 1t
with their searchlights. Sharks
abound and the British guard will
shoot on suspicion, yet several of the
Beers have escaped from their deten-
ton camp. On the night of July g. Fl.
j. Du Toit, NJ. l.. Louvens, j. p. De-
roux and j. G.. Du PreeZe, Boer pris-
oners, evaded the guards and the
sharks and reached the shore half a
mile away by swimming. By daylight
they had reached the southern shore
of the island. Here they approached
a colored man, asking him for food.
He charged them with being Boer pris-
oners. The colored man at once in
formed the guards at Warwick and
the escaping prisoners were captured.
A night or two after three others
tried to escape by padding shore on
planks. They were seen and fired on
by the guards. One was wounded and
returned TO the island, while the other
two were caught

TIE ePWoRTH LEAGUE.
Religious Enthusiasm Aroused and Big
Meetings Held.

San Francisco, July 22.-The relig-
ious enthusiasm aroused by the inter-
national convention of the Epworth
league here had its elimination at the
grand meeting held yesterday, the last
Of the gathering at the Mechanics pa
vilion. About 10000 persons were in
attendance and not seat was yacat-
ed until the conclusion of the sermon
preached by Bishop Joyce, president
of the league His theme was Faith
in Christ" and no more eloquent ad-
dress has been heard since the assem-
bling Of the convention. At its con-
clusion the bishop was rendered an
impromptu reception, not being al
lowed to leave the platform until
large part of the great congregation
had grasped his hand.
The influence of the league was not
alone felt in The central meeting. All
over the city, in churches OF many de-
nominations, services were held and
the local pulpits were occupied by Wis
iting divines. At Grace Episcopal
church, where Rev. j. NJ. Buckley OF
New York preached, ii was impossible
to gain admittance long before the
time announced for the opening of the
doors, and in none of the churches was
a vacant pew. Love feasts were held
in the early morning In more than
dozen places, including the Japanese
and Chine missions.

SIX MEH La.
Their Bodies Found Near Cape Ro-

Nome, July 10, via Seattle, July %.
"A tragic story comes from st. Mich

A party of men, en- route TO Nome
recently found the bodies of six men
near Cape Romanoff. II is presumed
they met death during one of the ter
rible billiards of last winter.
The bodies were scattered at inter
vals-five of them about quarter Of a
mile apart. They were outstretched
on the tundra and each was wrapped
in blankets. Each had some camp
equipment near, but no food.
One of the dead men had been evil

DROUTH and DEATH
Again at Work Throughout the
West and Southwest
THE HOTTEST EVER KNOWN
Absolutely No Rain Fell in the Corn
Belt According to the Official Re-
ports Received From Places in That
Locality.

Washington, July 23.-One hundred
degree temperatures were common
throughout the great corn belt yester-
day according 70 the reports to the
weather bureau here. In various
places in Illinois, Iowa and other
states all previous heat records were
smashed. There appears to be no pros
pect of decided relief from these eX-
hausting conditions for the next two
days at least except such as may come
from the always present possibility of
scattered thunder storms, which are
predicted for some portions of the SUI
perheated area. Dry thunder storms
accompanied by rain prevailed in sew
eral sections of the west-hundredS of
miles apart. They temporarily cooled
the atmosphere but brought no relief
to the furnishing crops. Absolutely no
rain fell in the corn belt according TO
the official reports received here. In
western Iowa ii was a trifle cooler,
while in the central portion of the
state il was warmer. There is a little
belt of high pressure over the great
lakes and another over the south At
lantic coast, but it offers no prospects
of relief in the west so long as the con.
tinued low pressure remains in the
northwest The warm weather again
was general throughout the entire
country except on the Pacific coast
In the east the temperature, while
high. did not approach anywhere the
extremes prevailing in the west, and
recurrence OF the hot wave of two
weeks ago is believed TO be unlikely
in the Atlantic coast region. Thunder
showers have continued from the
south Atlantic coast westward into
Arizona and a continuation of them is
predicted for the south and southwest.
In Des Moines the temperature Off
cially reported was los, in Springfield,
H., 10S, in Cincinnati loo and in Louis
vile 106, in each case breaking all
past records. In Indianapolis it also
was 106, five degrees higher than ever
before reported. In st. Louis it was

Thronged With Crowds.

Milwaukee, July 23.-Trains and
steamer lines brought about $4,000
Elks to the city yesterday and a large
number will arrive today, the opening
day of the convention. The all absorb
ing topic of interest centers in the
election of the next grand exalted
ruler. Supporters OF the active candi-
dates, Charles E. Pickett Of Iowa and
Judge John G.. Nethaway of Minnesota,
make large claims, each faction declar-
ing their man will be elected.
Out of the 700 or 500 delegates to
the grand lodge, 400 registered yester-
day.
The committee on the national home
for INDECENT and aged Elks gave an
audience to Col Cody, who spoke in
favor of the home being located at
Cody, Wyo. No decision has yet been
reached by the committee and the re.
port will not be presented before Wed.
nesday.
The air was filled with music last
night and the city presents the most
beautiful drapery and illumination in
it's history.

FosBURGH MURDER TRIAL.

Evidence of the Brother of the Ac-
cused Created Favorable impression.
Pittsfield, Mass, July 23.-James
Fosburgh was called as witness for
the prosecution in the trial of his
brother, Robert S. Fosburgh, for the
murder of their sister, May Fosbureh
The summons was a sudden and start
ling one made as ii was by Dirtrict At
torney Hammond, who heretofore had
taken no part in the examination OF
witnesses. The young Yale graduate
made an interesting figure on the
stand, and his testimony was direct
and conclusive. II apparently left no
doubt that his explanation Of the rea-
son why he did not know that the
burglars had been in the house and
killed his sister was truthful AMI
straightforward. HIS testimony great.
ly increased the faith OF the defense
in the ultimate acquittal Of his
brother.
In contradiction OF the testimony Of
a previous government witness TO the
effect that he had seen James Fos
burgh in the house after the murder
with his suspenders hanging down.
young Fosburg swore that he had not
owned a pair Of suspend ers for five
years. Dramatic, however, was the
scene when James FOsburgh described
his ascent of the front stairs after be
had heard terrible shrieks," yet not
knowing just what had happened; the
meeting with his sisterin-law, who as
he said, appeared before me in the
light" She was in her night dress,
said the witness, and exclaimed IN
fear: Your fathers gone crazy"
