GOT A HEARTY WELCOME.
Sir ThOnEs EiptOn Lands fn New
York city ind Receives Many Ova-

New York, Aug. 22.-Sir Thomas
Upton, owner of Shamrock H., chal-
lenger for the Americas cup, arrived
in this city last evening. He met with
a most cordial reception. The steam
ship Teutonic, on which he was a
passenger, received one continuous
ovation from Sandy Hook to her
dock. Sir Thomas and her party
landed at 8 o'clock and were driven
to the Waldorf-Astoria for dinner.
included in the party of Sir Thomas
were George Watson, designer of the
Shamrock; Hon. Charles Russell, who
will represent the Royal Ulster Yacht
club on the American cup defender;
j. II. Hilliard, a prominent Clyde
yaehtsman, whom next to Mr.. jamie
son, Sir Thomas considers the best
amateur yachtsman of the United
Kingdom; Mr.. c. O'Malley, Mr.. John
Westwood and w. NJ. Duncan. Sir
Thomas comes to America for his Sec
ond attempt to lift the cup, cheerful
and resolute. He had this to say to
the newspaper correspondents:
81 am thoroughly delighted to be
again in America, and should be un-
grateful if | did not say that l am
thoroughly pleased with the recep-
tion that has already been given me.
| think / can do better this time, for
] have in Shamrock II. boat at
least nine minutes faster over 30
mile course than the Shamrock l.,
and the old boat during the trials on
the other side was faster than when
she raced in American in 1899. At
any rate we expect to make a good
race against the American defender,
whether she be the Constitution or
Columbia. / am hoping for a good
breeze during the race, for certainly
Shamrock ii. is something better
than a light weather boat. Whatever
is the outcome | shall be satisfied
that the better boat has won, for I
have good opinion of American
craftsmanship and the fairness of the
New Ye"k Yacht club, under whose
auspices the races are held"
The only thing that Sir Upton has
to criticize in American yachting is
the rule of measurement.
"The English method" said he, sis
much to be preferred. 1t results in
more beautiful, healthful and com

form tends to produce racing ma

THE TEXTILE MARKETS.
They Alone Show Weakness at
the Present Time.
THE HIGH PRICE OF CORN.
H Drives Foreign Customers Away, to
the Advantage of Russia and Argen-
tine-EXceptionnI Activity In the
Shoe Manufacturing Industry.

New York, Aug. 24.-R. G. Dun &s
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Though there are some drawbacks,
notably the labor troubles in the iron
and steel industry, business is of we'll
sustained volume, to which fact pay
ments through the country's clearing
houses, railroad earnings and the
strength of prices of staple and part
ly manufactured merchandise offer
ample testimony.
Except in certain branches of the
textile markets, sellers of merchan-
disc have an advantage over buyers,
and distribution is as large as stocks
will permit
The Amalgamated association sue
ceeded in enlisting the sympathy of
other workmen, with the result that
the output of merchant bar and wire
rods is curtailed to the extent of
about 10000 tons monthly. Beyond
this detection, wage earners in allied
branches of the steel industry have
refused to break their contracts.
Many idle mills resumed during the
past week and even in the tin plate
region there is a moderate output.
Plates have begun to arrive from
abroad and prices in the London mar
ket sharply advanced.
Exceptional activity is still the rule
at shoe shops and promises to con-
tinue for some months. Old orders
are being filled as rapidly as possible
and shipments from factories show a
steady increase over last year of
about 80 per cent.
Grain quotations eased off some
what during the week, though the
net decline was small. Corn is still
close to the highest price since 1892.
Foreign customers have been driven
away by eXorbitant prices, to the
benefit of Russia and Argentine.
Failures for the week numbered
205 in the United States, against III
last year.

IN GOULD'S HANDS.
Control Of Norfolk &1 Western
Road Is Now Vested.
He Purchases a Majority of Its Stock
and VIII, IL Is Said, Use II as
Club to Force the PennsyIya-
mia Railroad People to Ace
cede 10 His Demands.

Philadelphia, Aug. 23.-The North
American says: Control of the Nor
folk & Western railroad has passed
out of the hands of the Pennsylvania
railroad and is firmly in the grasp of
the Gould interests.
This was announced yesterday as a
fact and will probably occasion
greater surprise in financial and rail-
road circles than any similar an
nouncement made this year.
The Gould interests, it is asserted,
now hold an actual majority of the
capital stock of the Norfolk & West
ern. 1t is believed that the Pennsyl-
vania interest is about $1O,0O0,00O out
of the $23,OOO,O00 preferred stock and
$13,500,0 900 out of the $66, 100000 com
mon stock.
The Gould party began, it is said,
by purchasing the foreign holdings
of Norfolk q Western stock and fol-
lowed this by quietly picking up the
floating shares in the New York
market.
Control of the Norfolk & Western
will be used by George Gould to fur
ther the interests of his railroad sys-
TEN. If the Pennsylvania railroad
will withdraw opposition to the Wa
bash in Pittsburg and agree not to
thwart Gould in his effort to get an
Atlantic seaboard outlet, the recently
acquired interest in the Norfolk &
Western will be surrendered at a
price which is fair. This is the latest
of series of strategic moves by the
Gould group, to the end of forcing an
eastern outlet.
1t is believed that President Cas-
satt, of the Pennsylvania railroad
will decline to make any compromise
with the Gould party which would be
disadvantage geous to the Pennsylvania.
He will sail from Europe on August
80, and is expected to take the inn
mediate direction of things on Sep
tember 0. 1T is understood that the
Pennsylvania will make no agreement
to handle Gould freight from Pitts
burg to the seaboard unless Mr..
Gould will agree to abandon, abso-
lutely, the project for new railroad
across Pennsylvania to Philadelphia.
In the meantime arrangements are
being perfected for a number of
feeders, which will draw together at
Pittsburg over the Wabash a heavy
freight traffic. The Big Four has
agreed TO let Wabash trains use its
tracks between wellington, o., and
Cleveland under u 999-year agree

THE LINE OF MARCH.
Parade of the G. A. IL. at Cleveland
VIII be Two Miles Long.

Cleveland, Aug. 23.-The greatest
number of visitors who will be in this
cit during Grand Army encampment
week will be reached on Wednesday,,
September IL, the day of the grand
parade. This is the history of every
encampmen;. For the fact there can
be little wonder. The parade of the
veterans of the civil war is unique
thing; unlike anything else in the
world.
The departments of the Grand Army
will march in the order of their SEMI
ority, Illinois first because the order
was organized in that state. The
line of march will be just two miles
long. 1t will begin at the intersec-
tion of Euclid and Case avenues. The
start will be at 10 a. IN. and will be
announced by the firing of three guns
from a point near the head of the
column. 1t will be fully o'clock
before the veterans all have marched
and the procession disbanded. The
parade will march west on Euclid
avenue to Bond street, north on Bond
street to Summit street, and west
into Lake View park and Wood, On
ario and Seneca streets for dlsband-
ing. At the foot of Bond street will
be the large grand stand to be occu-
pied by the school children who will
sing patriotic songs as the parade dis
bands.
The greatest possible pains will be
taken to make the march as easy as
possible for the veterans.

SHOVEL MAKERS COMBINE.
| Five Firms, Making Three-rourths of
| the Country,s Product, Have United.

Boston, Aug. 22.-The promoters of
the shovel combine which was recent
ly formed under the laws of New Jer-
sey have issued a statement here.
The statement in part is as follows:
"a consolida tion of the principal
shovel makers has been effected un-
der the name of Ames Shovel and
Tool Co., of New Jersey, with cap
ital of $4,000 900. The Ames Shovel
and Tool Co. is really a merger of the

North Easton, Mass; 7. Rowland's
Sons, Chelsea; Wright Shovel works,
Anderson, Ind; Ii. II. Myers Co.,
Beaver Falls, Pa, and the st. Louis
shovel works of st. Louis"

a GREAT TRIUMPH.
Colombian Reb Claim to Have-Wo
big Victory In Fight with Gov
ernmenI Troops.

New York, Aug. 23.-Dr. \. J. Res
trepo, diplomatic agent of the liberal
party now attempting to take posses
sion of the government in Colombia,
received a dispatch Thursday from
the liberal agent at Quito regarding
the recently reported battle between
the government, or clerical force, at
Pasto. The dispatch was as follows:
quito, August 20.-The expected
battle near Pasto was fought on Sat
urday, the 18th, and the liberal gem
erals, Perez and Rosas, won a great
triumph over the clericals."
Through his secretary, DR.. Res
trepO explained that Pasto, where the
battle was reported to have been
fought, was in the extreme southern
part of Colombia, 1000 miles from
where Gen. Tribe was operg g, and
that it indicated a success eXecu-
tion of the plans of campalc i mapped
out by Gen. Tribe and fc awarded to
the commanding officers of the other
liberal forces before the general left
New York early in the summer.

lutionary movement that was about
ready to start, was captured near

arouse Guarico. On being taken to
Caracas he was set at liberty by or

RIOT IN AN ALABAMA TOWN.
WOuId-be Lynchers Attack Deputy
SherIRs-One Man Killed and An-
other Fatally Wounded.

Ashville, Ala, Aug. 23.-One man
was killed and another probably
fatally wounded in battle here
Thursday to save negro, Jim
Brown, from the vengeance of a mob
after he had been tried and sentenced
to be hanged on September 20 for
rape. Killed:
Walter Blankenship.
Wounded: Arthur Blankenship.
A small boy, the son of James Han
ley, slightly wounded.
The attempt of the mob to gain
possession of the negro followed one
of the swiftest and fairest trials ever
witnessed. The judge and court of
ficials were on the defensive to sup
press the rising anger of the crowd
as detail after detail of the crime
was told by the witnesses for the
state. There was no evidence for
the defense.
The clash with the sheriff came in
half an hour after Judge Pelham had
pronounced the sentence. BY ruse
the court room was cleared OF half of
its angry occupants. The remaining
half was surly and seemed bent on
mischief At the request of Judge
Pelham, j. L. Garrett, the father OF
the girl outraged by Brown, mounted
a table and spoke, c6unseling peace.
He had hardly addressed the assem-
bly, as his friends and neighbors be-
fore he broke down in tears. In con-
cluding his appeal he said:
''If you have any respect for my
feelings, if l can have any weight in
your hearts, let me urge you as good
citizens to go home and obey the
law and | will never cease to thank
you from the bottom OF my heart"
After some difficulty the court
room was cleared. Sheriff North
thought it unwise to attempt to take
Brown to the Jail few blocks away,
for the crowd was rapidly increasing
around the front door of the court
house. Twenty-eight deputies armed
toned in the front hall and at the
windows of the court room. The first
sign of an outbreak. came when one
man from the outside, with a pistol
in his hand, started to mount the
stairway. He was followed by two
or three others.
Several shots were exchanged and
the mob leaders retreated to the out
side, when two members began firing
into the windows. Arthur Blanken-
ship was hit first and his brother was
shot while emptying his revolver in
the direction of the windows above.
A hard rain began falling. The
bodies of the wounded were removed
and the crowd scattered about in
front of the stores across the street.
The officers took advantage of this
lull and spirited the negro away in
charge of two special deputies.

ANOTHER CRIB HORROR.
Five NIen Killed by an Explosion Five
Miles Out In the Lake from Cleye-

Cleveland, Aug. 22.-Five men were
killed in the new waterworks shaft at
crib No. 3 at o'clock Tuesday night
An explosion at the bottom of the
shaft is responsible for the accident.
The force of the explosion displaced
the air lock at the top of the shaft
The sides of the shaft caved in, and
the men at the bottom, providing
they We're not killed by the explosion
at first, were buried in the debris.
The water of the lake poured into the
shaft and filed it up to the level Of
the lake. 1t is thought that the
men at the bottom of the shaft
struck a pocket of gas and caused the
explosion.
Those who were killed are:
James Williams. foreman: Dan Hig-
gins. Ray Tratochaud, Albert Valin-
court, John Burt.
Two men, Henry Coe and V. c. sny-
der. locktenders, were also in the
shaft at the time, but escaped unin'
jured.
The crib proper was not injured
by the explosion. all the damage be-
ing done in the shaft. The air lock at
the top of the shaft was forced up
for a distance of Is feet and struck
the top of the crib. 1t settled
back, however, in a crooked position
over the top of the shaft.
There was no boat or raft at the
crib and no means of communication
with shore, save steam whistle. This
in spite of the fact tb gt 35 men were
at the mercy of the many dangers
that accompany tunnel building, and
that the city officials and contractors
had the terrible warning of a week
ago. All night long the whistle was
sounded in vain.
At 6 a. m., Wednesday, just ten
hours after the catastrophe, Capt.
Coulter, of the tug Alva B., heard the
whistles and went out to investigate.
1t was not until the tug returned. an
hour later, that the disaster was
known to the city authorities.
Judge Dellenbaugh has ordered a
special grand jury summoned to
meet to-day to investigate the two
crib disasters.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-James Bashford,
president of Ohio Wesleyan uniyer-

Northwestern university and will be
offered the position to-day when he
arrives at Chicago from California.
Intimate friends of DR.. Bashford say
he will accept the offer. In making
the choice the committee of seven has
closed one of the hardest compaigns
ever fought in university affairs. The
selection of DR.. Bashford, it is be-
lieved, will close the breach which has
existed between the various factions

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 23.-Gov. Long.
ino has issued a statement of the con-
dition of the state treasury, showing
that on August Is he found by actual

said shortage would be replaced if

fore the result of said count was
made public and that the state might
thus recover the money without fur
ther trouble, explanation or loss L,
therefore, in the interest of the state,

to the whole proceedings and agreed
with Mr.. Showers that ! would make
another count of the money on Tues

The governor closes the statement
by saying: "The condition of the
funds in the treasury on said count is
made by me as required by Section 13
of the constitution, and in my opinion
the books of the treasury show cor
rect statement of the amounts which
should have been in the treasury on
the said 18th and Goth days of Au-
gust, 1901, respectively, and before
doing or saying anything further in
the premises, | deem it just to Mr..
Showers (the treasurer) that. he be
given full opportunity to make such
explanation of the matter as he may
see fit.'
The publication of this report has
created no end of excitement Mr..

Notorious Eandit Is Killed.

Havana, Aug. 24.-Lino Iona, the
bandit for whose capture, dead or
alive, the military government offered
a reward of $1,000, has been killed at
Macurijes, in the province of Matan-
zas. The police assisted the rural
guard and four other bandits were
captured at the same time. Loma's
operations in the provinces of Matan-
zas and Havana eXasperated the mill
tary authorities. For several months
there was a reward of $500 for his
head. During July he sent word
that he would surrender for $500, pro-
vided he were allowed to leave the
island. Upon receipt of this letter
the reward was doubled.

Bears Heavily On American Product.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The state de-
partment has received from Consul
General Mason, at Berlin, a long re-
port setting forth in detail the fea-
lures of the proposed new German
tariff which will affect United States
products. By far the most import
ant of these is noted in the advance
of from so to 300 per cent. in the
rates on food materials, meats and
live animals. The present treaty
rate on wheat of 43 cents would be in
creased to $1.54 per 100 kilograms.
The United States sent 465, ,933 metric
tons of this commodity to Germany
last year. AS to American manufac-
lures, the most notable advances
made by the new bill, are in the rates
on bicycles and shoes.
