was heard on time throughout the
tournament There were many
watches held by spectators in the
grand stand aud IL was remarkable
that the time keepers were always
close 10 the spectators The Judges
were G.. J. Murray, Of Michigamme,
Thos. Murphy, Of Baraga, Alex Me
Kichine, OF Sault Ste Marie and Jas.
Tolan, of Escanaba. These gentle
men gave entire satisfaction to all
concerned.
The first race up was the regulation
hose race with lshpeming on the line.
This team played in hard luck. one
OF the men was spiked by another
runner and fell, thus preventing him
from pulling the hose properly. The
team Is fast one and in all the races
had the best time TO the hydrant but
fell down on coupling and ladder work.
No time was given lShpeming because
the pipe was not on the three full
turns BesSemer followed and this
team made a good run but likewise
made miss in the coupling. They
got time. however, Of 50 As. The
Calumet team was next up and a
pretty run was made. The coupling
was done well and when the Judges
compared notes they found that the
best time made al Calumet last year
was tied 30 hat. Amasa, the baby
team of the association, lined up next.
1t was easy to see where the sym
pathy Of the crowd was for the rooters
in the grand stand yelled themselves
hoarse as the Amasa boys came down
the stretch making very good time.
The coupler misjudged the location Of
the coupling and ran by IL but re-
turned in time TO get the pipe ON in 80
seconds. Had he not missed the coup
ling, the time Of this team would have
been up among the winners. Negau-
nee came down the stretch at very
good gait and finished IN good shape

remained to be heard from and while
an expected good race from this
team, none expected the record that

MIR. VANDERBILT HERE.
He Talks About the General Business
Outlook.

Outlook.
Former Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Frank A. Vanderlip Is in Washington
and called at the Treasury Department to-
day to shake hands with many of his old
associates in office. Mr.! Vanderlip is now
vice president of the National City Bank
Of New York city. He recently returned
from Europe and Is now living In New
York. He went to Chicago from New York
on his way to Washington, however. and
Is here fresh from the west. In speaking
Of general financial conditions in the east
and west Mr.. vanderlip said to Star re-
porter this afternoon:
1.-THE outlook In financial matters both
In the east and west seems particularly
free from any great unfavorable condi
tions. My observations led me to believe
that the Chicago banks are at present un-
usually full of money and show every evil
dence of strength and prosperity. Their
growth in the last two or three years has
been something phenomenal. as indeed has
been the growth of banks everywhere in,
the country.
There has undoubtedly been some dam
age done by unfavorable weather condi-
tions to the crops Of the great agricultural
sections of the west, but l think that re-
ports which have come cast have been
greatly exaggerated. The total of crops
will be fairly large and taken in connec-
ton with the exceedingly large wheat and
corn outputs the situation of the farmers
is not one to cause much concern.
'In New York there is some concern over
the great steel strike. The labor situation
in fact is being Viewed by the financial eIe-
ment with very sober consideration. 9th
erwise all the conditions are excellent The
banks are in exemplary shape and all have
an abundance of money on hand for bust
ness.

ATTEMPT ON ROWAN's LIFE.
A Filipino Assassin Misto0k Corporal
DALEY for the Captain.

A Filipino Assassin Misto0k Corporal
DALEY for the Captain.
The latest mail from Manila brought to
the War Department highly interesting
account of the attempted assassination of
Captain Andrew 8. Rowan of the 10th In
fantry at Bohol. Philippine Islands, several
months ago. Filipino appeared one
morning at the camp of Company I of the
10th Infantry, which was commanded by
Captain Rowan, and inquired for the COM
manding officer. He was directed to the
captains tent, but on the way came upon
a knot of prisoners in charge of Corporal
Daley, whom he mistook for Captain
Rowan. The native handed the corporal
note, and while the latter was reading it,
the Filipino drew a dagger, stabbed the
non-commissioned officer, and turned to
run. Soldiers of the company soon brought
him to earth lifeless with their rifles and
Daley, too, died in q few minutes One of
the enlisted men went to a nearby convent
to secure implements for the interment of
his comrade, and was excitedIy asked by
the padre If Captain Rowan was dead yet
Other happenings brought partly to light
an infamous plot against the life of the
young officer and he is to be congratulated
on a narrow escape from death. Captain
Rowan was a conspicuous figure during
the early days Of the Spanish-American
war.
