It is hard to determine whether
the Sultan considered the United
States q preferred creditor, or
whether he paid US first merely be-
cause our bill was the smallest in
the batch.
Governor Savage has seen n of
the bull fights at South Omaha. He
has also been initiated into the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. He is of
the opinion that the bull fight, by
comparison, is innocent amusement.
Fifteen years ago Joseph Haaga
arrived in Buttes county, Kan,
with five cents in his pocket. He
went to work for a farmer, with
whom he remained five years, saving
something from his wages each year.
At the end of that time he started
farming on his own account. To-
day he owns five hundred acres of
land, and has it stocked with a fine
herd of cattle. A short time ago
he went to Ell Dorado to bid on an
other half section of land, which he
had the money to buy.

RIVAL FOR ~SHAMROck~u.

KarfRd Put Forward as a Possible
Competitor For the Americas Cum.
Kenneth NE. Clark, a member OF the
Royal Ulster Yacht club and owner of
the cutter Kar1ad, who has witnessed
all the trials of the two. Shamrocks
since the challenger was reftted, has
asserted II whether the, Shamrock
IL IS good enough to send to American
waters in challenge for the Americas
cup. He believes, according to a dis
patch from Rothesay, Scotland. that
the Kariad is a better boat than the
shamrock II and desires to see this
question settled before any yacht goes
out as a challenger.
1.-THE race for the Americas cup"
said Mr.. Clark the other day, sis an in
ternationaT affair in the fullest sense of
b word. and for the credit Of British
yachting and the good of sport it is de-
sirable that the British side of the con-
test should be upheld by the best avail
able boat. I believe the Kariad is fast
er than either Of the Shamrocks, and I
desire an opportunity to enter the Ka-
Rad in the trials. If this request is not
granted, I shall challenge Sir Thomas
Upton to trial races between the Sham
rock II and the Kariad to be sailed
over courses similar to the course for
the Americas cup and on the American
measurement in order to decide which
should be sent as the challenger"
So far as the eligibility of the Kariad
Is concerned Mr.. Clark said he under
stood there would be no serious difficult
ty, as the Royal Ulster Yacht club had
challenged On behalf of a cutter under
80 feet water line, and his boat answer
ed the description.
eff Sir Thomas Upton has the better
boat" Mr.. Clark concluded, 81 shall be
delighted to stand aside. My only de-
sire Is to insure the sending of the fast
est British yacht, and this cannot be Sc
cured beyond question without a trial."
The Kariad was built last year to a
Watson design by the Hendersons for
O. D. Rose. Mr.. Rose lost two sons in
the South African war, and on that ac-
count the Kariad was moi launched I'M
til purchased this year by Mr.. Clark.

Small POx in This Country.

Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Up to the time of issue of the
latest number of "The Public
Health Reports" there were re.
ported to the United States
Marine Hospital service a grand
total Of %, 413 cases of smallpox
for the United States. The
period covered was from Decem.
Der 70, 1900, to June IA, 1901.
For the corresponding period
one year before only 2,O92 cases
were reported. Thus it appears
that smallpox has increased very
greatly in it's frequency, being
more than twice as prevalent as
last year. But the mortality
tables show a strikingly different
result. For he last year there
were reported $50 deaths, while
for this year although the
disease is more than twice as pre-
valent, the number of deaths has
been only 1856.

Richmond, Va, July 12.-The

shape OF a couple of resolutions

The first was offered by Dele.
gate Pedigo, Of Henry county,
and provides for a reduction of
representation in the General
Assembly in proportion to any
negro disfranchisement which
the convention may adopt.
The second resolution was of
fered by Mr.. Mundy, of Botet-

DEEPENING SUEZ CANAL,
Vessels of Large Tonnage Find It's
Present Depth insufficient

Vessels OF Large onnag Find It's
Present Depth insufficient.
Consul General Guenther Of Frank
fort-on-Mafn sends to the state depart
ment at Washington some interesting
facts concerning the Suez canal, the
deepening Of the channel Of which has
already begun. 1t is to be deepened
30 to 81 feet and lighted by electricity,
so that the work may proceed at night.
T~ransoceanic navigation has for some
time realized that the use of small
steamers for long distances leaves but
a small margin of profit. Vessels Of
large tonnage like some of those of the
present day were practically unknown
at the time of the opening of the ca
nal. and Its present depth is INSULT
Gent for them, which is undoubtedly
the reason that the year 1900 shows no
increase in traffic.

'sIS ABSOLUTELY FALSE
Governors Comment on a Story
That He Desired to Sue
coed Pritchard.

Raleigh Post.
A report in the Greensboro
Record that Governor Aycock
had designs on Senator Pritch-
ards seat and that he had formu-
lated plans to succeed him was
promptly denied by the Govern
Or yesterday when brought to
his attention.
It is generally conceded that a
Western man viii, be elected to
succeed Senator Pritchard and
this fact alone would debar the
Governor eYen if he had such
intentions.
The Governor said when
shown the story:
SIT is absolutely false. The
people of the State have already
given me the highest office in
their gift, and my only ambition
is to serve them well not for any
thing I expect or want in the
future but on account of the
honor they have done me in the
past"

go over from Washington to

nation and the most beautiful city

All the departments of the Gov

Within easy distance of one n

of the entire trip.
1t is very probable that the

PURSUED BY SHARKS.
THREE HORRIBLE DAYS
WITHOUT EAT OR DRINK.

Lashed to Wreckage of Their
FOundered Vessel, More Dead
Than Alive--For Three
Days They We're Cuff

TOrrid Sun.
Tampa. Fla, July, 13.--Cap-
tain G. F. Watts, of the Inflated
brig L.. F. Munson, Mobile to
Sagua, LeGrande, is in the city
en- route to Mobile. He himself
is a physical wreck and tells a
most thrilling story of the wreck
of his vessel. The suffering
of Captain Watts and his men is
something which is almost too
horrible to be put into words.
Wrecked upon a little raft,
without food or water, under a
blistering sun for three days,
followed by huge, gloating
sharks, seeing vessels pass with.
in hailing distance and then fade
into distance, was almost too
much for human strength to
stand. He says:
"The men beaten and battered
by the wreckage, lay more dead
than alive upon the raft, and
many of them with wounds
which had begun to mortify
whep they we're rescued.
Sunday, while about two
hundred miles west of Tortugas,
the vessel was literally battered
to pieces in a storm. Almost in
an instance all on board realized
that the vessel was sinking. The
lifeboat had been made ready
and provisioned for several
days. ALI hands rushed to lower
it, and in their haste the boat
was overturned and rendered
useless to them. They barely
had time to climb upon the after
house when the vessel sank,
leaving them in the eddy of
water where the vessel had
been.
For three days, the crew
dashed to the top of the after
house were tossed by the angry
waters of the gulf, without food
or water, covered at times by
the waters for a foot or more.
They saw four vessels loom into
view and disappear, When the
nights came on chilling winds
made the men SILVER and suffer,
to be followed by the blistering
heat of a tropical sun the next
day. With dry and parched
lips and threats they suffered
only such agonies as ear be ex-
perienced. but not described.
monster sharks followed I'M
their wake and occasionally one,
more venturesome than the rest,
would come and place his snout
against the little raft. These
harbingers of death were alwavs
with the unhappy and helpless
crew.
"Beaten and battered in al
storm of a few days before, three
men were wounded. They could
do nothing for themselves, and
modification set in soon and adj
ded to the horror of their situa-
Captain Watts says he does not
believe his men will recover from
their terrible exposure, as when
he left them at Key West they
were in a horrible shape.
