THE MONONGAHELA.
a RELIC OF THE CIVIL WAR. NOW \
TRAINING SHIP. REFTTTINGi
In RROOkIYN.
IN BROOkLYN

A special heard from the Construction De-
partment Of the United States Navy was ar-
pointed recently to examine the old traiHin,
ship Monongahela. which has been tied up il
the Navy Yard at brooklyn for several weeks
While the commission at work
circulated to the effect that the ship would be
put out of commission because her condition
had been found bad beyond repair. The hull
was said to be rotten and the reports went into
details to the size of the holes found in the
ships sides below water.
At the office of Rear Admiral Barker the
mOrs denied and later it reported
from Washington that the Monongahela wouli
remain in commission. Within a few weeks
she will go training cruise under
commander.
She is wooden vessel and was built durinc,
the Civil War. Steam was her motive power at
that time. but eight years ago her engines
removed and she converted into sailing
training ship. She looks antique. but is fitted
with 1.-THE best and newest ordnance. and when
| the repairs have been made in keeping with
the report of the special board she will be ready
to go into active service again as a training
ship

bpaskan Confirms
tho Story.

Salem, Ills, July 10.-William j.
Bryan, who is in this city visiting his
sister, confirmed the statement that
Aguinaldo's agents attempted to cor
rupt him during the last presidential
campaign. Mr.. Bryan read carefully
an article published In reference to
the matter. He nodded afirmatively
as his eyes passed. over the statement
that told of the offer Of the leader OF
the Filipinos. Having finished he laid
down the paper and said:
Yes, that statement Is substan.
tally correct"
Mr.. Bryan then explained how the
cffer was made and refused. Some
time before the emissaries OF Agui-
raldo called at the Hoffman house In
New York last fall, Mr.. Bryan re.
ceived letter telling him that Agui
naldo's representatives would call,
and they would make the proposition
to Mr.. Bryan that Agulnaldo would
give 100000 to the Democratic cam
paign fund.
In addition they would promise for
the Filipino leader that he would sur
render If the Nebraskan were elected,
and that the surrender would be i'm.
mediate and unconditional In return
they would exact a promise that a
reasonable form OF government,
founded on the principles in force
in the United States, begiven to the
Filipinos.
When the Filipino agents appeared
at the Hoffman house, Mr.. Bryan re-
fused to see them. They clamored
for an audience with Mr.. Bryan or
some one who represented him.
TO all these appeals the Nebraskan
was deaf. He-not only refused to see
them, but he refused to delegate to
any one in authority to consider the
proposition they might make.
Finally, after trying to the utmost
to get to Mr.. Bryan and put the prop.
osition before him, they abandoned
the plan and took the advice Of some
of the attaches of the national head
quarters staff. which was to leave
New York and report to their princi
pals that the Democrats would have
nothing to do with the overtures
made. -.

Canal Dover, July 9.-Five burglars
blew open the safe in the clothing and
shoe store of f. Hostetler Il Co. at
Sugar Creek about ten miles west Of
this place Tuesday morning about l
o'clock. The robbers secured only a
few dollars.
Nitro-glycerin was used to blow open
the safe, which was almost demolished.
The men went from this city, having
stolen two rigs here, one from the
barn of Mayor Bold; the other from
Herbert Enck. The explosion awak-
ened number of residents in the
vicinity of the store, but on coming to
their doors to learn the cause were
met by armed guards who ordered
them back. A posse was organized
some time after the robbers drove
away, following them in the direction
of New Philadelphia. The rigs were
found along the roadside near the salt
works. A number of citizens appear
ed on the streets as the men were
driving away, and several shots were
fired over their heads by the fleeing
robbers.
Sugar Creek Is about mile from
lShancsville where the bank was rob-
bed last February. The methods and
actions of the men in this case were
very similar to those of the bank rob

SUMMER RESORT.
A Columbus Paper Tells Why
Canton 10 Entitled TO
the Name.

The Ohio State journal thinks Can
ton Is entitled to place in the list OF
summer resorts for at least one house
hold, and remarks on the matter as
follows:
An exchange facetiously remarks
that Canton can hardly be considered
a summer resort, and intimates that 1t
Is rather incongruous to note that
President and Mrs. Mckinley have
como to the Ohio town to spend the
heated term.
It is true, Canton is not summer
resort. 1t is q thriving city, filed
with busy teoylc, many of whom h"ve
homes within the corporation limits
that are quite as comfortable and rest
full in the hot season as can be found
at many summer resorts. 1t Is the
home of the president, and he has a
modest but very pleasant cottage
there. There are no lake or sea
breezcs and no magnificent scenic
prospects within range of the human
eye. hut IL is home, and to the pres
ident and his wife, who have spent the
greater part of the year in the wear
isome political and official atmosphere
of the national capital, it has attrac-
tions which could not be found at the
most delightful summer resort in the
world. The quiet and privacy of home
are the things for which they yearn
They could not escape the curious and
intrusive at any summer resort, how
ever well regulated 1t might be. But
among their old neighbors at Canton
they are free from all annoyances.
The faces which they see there are
lightened by smile of kindly recog-
milton. The curious stare of the
stranger, which is so disconfting, is
rarely noticed.
President and Mrs. Mckinley will
doubtless obtain more solid comfort
and greater benefits from their stay at
Canton than they could possibly obtain
anywhere else.

MONEY INTERESTS HELPED.

New York, July 10.--Support for
the market from the large banking in.
terests and syndicates which seemed
Monday to have abandoned 1t to the
effects of forced liquidation worked q
prompt transformation in speculative
sentiment Tuesday. The opening
dealings disclosed that there was still
urgent liquidation to be effected and
some heavy blocks were thrown upon
the market at sharp concessions from
Monday nights closing prices, but
brokers with supporting orders were
present at the same time and were
bidding above the prices at which
others were letting the stocks go. The
consequence was some wide open
ings in the prices Of the granger, Pa
cific and Southwestern stocks on sales
# 1000 to $500 shares Of each. The
average level Of prices was carried q
point or more below Monday night,
and there were exceptional losses In
Louisville OF 3%, in Baltimore and
Ohio Of 3A and in Southern Pacific
Of 1&. United States Steel received
determined support from the outset,
and although the first offerings were
of 10000 shares the price was held

rest of the day the market showed
veloped tone of positive buoyancy.
The stocks which suffered most
acutely in Mondays liquidation were
most conspicuous In Tuesdays rally,
notably st. Paul, Union Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Atchison. The move
ment in these stocks was eclipsed by
that Of Louisville, In which the deal.
ings were on a very large scale. The
opening loss in this stock and the
subsequent movement gave color to
the supposition that Il was raided for
the purpose Of accommodating stock.

other leaders from the low point

strength was shown by Illinois Cen

dend and the decision to Issue new
stock, and by st. Louis and San Fran
cisco second preferred on the placing
of the stock on 4 per cent dividend
basis. There was no apparent cause
Tor the recovery in the general list

the evidence that powerful support

GUS and urgent liquidation OF Monday
was thereby checked The disquiet
which was caused Monday by the
mystery surrounding last weeks large
loss in the cash reserves of the banks
was dispelled by the explanation that
cash had been shipped to Buffalo to
provide against possible run on the
banks there. The open-handed free

fears OF credit contraction and coun-
teracted the effect OF the recent pol
Icy OF the banks in discriminating

Giant Footprints In q Rock.

Almost in midstream, In the Loyal
hanna creek, near the old Loyalhanna
church, adjacent to Salisbury, there is
a large rock, of which about eight feet
square is exposed during the low-water
period. In almost the middle Of this
surface there is an imprint Of the foot
of a human being or possibly that OF a
bear. It p~enetrates the rock to a dis.
lance of almost two feet, and the out.
lines are as distinct as though chiseled
out by hand. This rock is a composite
sandstone, and in the shale, about LOG
wards away, there are petrified stumps
of trees. From the size of the foot
print, IL it belongs to man, it must
have been that of a giant or a mon.
strosity, when compared to our race.
IF it were a bears foot that left the
mark, it must have belonged to the
q of large mammals, and should
have been sufficient to frighten the In.
dians on their march to the Hannas.

AT any rate the petriied stumps OF
the two trees in the shale and the i'm.
urint of the foot in the rock are freaks
in their respective ways, and are pro.
