REAR ADMIRAL IRWIN DEAD.
Hauled Down His Flag and Retired In
Honolulu Harbor In 1894


Washington Aug. Rear Admiral John
Irwin, retired, died here Monday night
He was So years old. He was retired ii
1894. John Irwin was appointed mid
shipman In 1S47. He passed twenty-three
years of his life in active sea service and
seventeen years on shore or other duty.
During the war of the rebellion he served
continually, with great distinction, in the
South Atlantic squadron. Part Of the
time he was executive officer of the steam
frigate Wabash, bearing the flag Of Ad.
miral Dupont, and he afterwards COM
manded several vessels Of the blockading
feet, being present and giving great as
distance in all the actions and operations
OF the army and navy on the Atlantic
coast. He was remarked and commended
F for cool courage, correct Judgment, sturdy
persistency in the line of his duty and
earnest study of his profession. Although
known to the navy as rigid discipline
rian, his manners and bearing were gem
tile and winning, and he won the conf
dence OF his superlors as well as the Off
GERS and men under his command.
AS commandments Of the Pacific
squadron he took prominent part in the
pcrplexing questions attending the solu-
ton Of the Hawaiian difficulties. Adj
miral Irwin hauled down his flag April
is, on the Philadelphia, in the harbor OF
Honolulu The coincidence has been noted
that Admiral Benram and Admiral Irwin,
after forty-seven years Of service, should
have hauled down their respective Gags

ton districts of the Indian lands recently
thrown open for settlement We're prepar-
Ing to sell their claims to the highest old
der and that the officers of the general
land office would not be able to enforce
the provisions Of the homestead law
against such transfers.
Secretary Hitchcock said that on previ-
Gus occasions when lands were thrown
open Tor settlement it may have been pos
sible that such transfers were made, ow-
ing to a lack of proper registration facli-
ties. The introduction of the new system
of allotment ard the care that has been
exercised on this occasion in keeping the
records would prevent effectively any such
land Juggling by spectators. He pointed
out that by terms Of the homestead law
five years must clapse between the taking
out of a title by a settler and the perfec.
ton of the title and payment of the final
fee. During the interval the settler must
live upon and improve his property. and
any transfer of his rights before the eX-
piration Of the five year limit would in
validate the title to his claim. 1t would
be absolutely impossible. Mr.. Hitchcock

VICTORY FOR THE PRESS.
Gagging Attempt OF British War Office
a Failure,

u
London, Aug. 3.-The contest be-
tween the war office and the Daily Mail
has terminated in a victory for the pa
per. The war office had not only cut
off the Daily Mails South African
casualty lists and other official news,
but had also ordered the various news
agencies not to supply the Daily Mail
with any information distributed from
the war Office.
Thereupon the Daily Mail sued the
news agencies under its contracts to
compel them to deliver the news
The war office then held back the bull
letins until near the hour for the morn
ing papers to go to press. This raised
storm of protest from the provincial
papers, and the war office finally cap
3itplated and called off the boycott
. The experiment in press gaggiag
aroused bitter criticism among all
classes of papers at time when the
government was not too popular and
could i'll afford to aggravate popular
discomfort.
MIR. Borderick's personal bereavc-
ment in the death OF his wife precludes
journalistic celebration of his defeat,
but there is much quiet satisfaction in

Canton, Aug. 3.-Violent anti-foreign
placards, emanating from Boxers have
been posted in the vicinity Of Christian
chapels. The placards protest against
the imposition Of the house tax, saying
it is only exacted in order to meet the
indemnity to be paid to the powers,
and proceeds:
IF money can be obtained why not
make war on foreigners? China is not
yet defeated. 1t Is only the govern

loyal ministers. II we refuse to fight
then it is case of being greedy to live,
yet fearing death. How can carefully
studied military arts be used except
against foreigners? How can we 9TH
erwise employ our regiments? During
1900 much money was collected through
lotteries, gambling and general taxes.
But they were never satisfied. There
fore, should the house tax be collected,
we will demolish chapels and drive out
the Christians. II the emperor is UNI
able to pay, we Boxers have an excel

Western Drought Broken, But 1t Is Worse
In Ohio Valley.


Western Drought Broken, But 1t Is Worse
In Ohio Valley.
Washington. Aug. 1.-The weather
ditionS follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the
greater part of the week throughout
the central valleys. but the temperature
during the past three days has been
moderate Good rains have fallen over
a large part of the drought area in the
Mississippi and upper Missouri valleys,
but drought conditions have become
more serious in the Ohio valley and in
Tennessee, where the week has been
rain!ess except in a few localities.
In Atlantic coast districts weather
conditions have been generally favor
able, except over portions OF the Car
olinas, and Virginia, where rain is
now needed.
Conditions are favorable on the Pa
Citic coast
Recent rains improved late corn in
portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Okla no.
ma ard Missouri, but the early crop
was practically ruined before the rains
came. In Iowa the crop sustained less
injury than In the before mentioned
states. The rainfall has been copious,
and we'll distributed. In the great corn
cept over northern Illinois, drought
and excessive heat have continued with
disastrous effects upon corn Which is
now in a critical condition.
In Michigan, and generally through
out the middle Atlantic states and
New England, the corn crop is in fine
condition.
The winter wheat harvest is general
on the north Pacific coast with good
yields. Harvesting of spring wheat is
we'll advanced over the southern por-
| ton of the spring wheat region, and has
begun in southern Red river valley.
Premature ripening has reduced the
| yield and quality of the crop over the
| southern portion of the spring wheat
| region although threshing returns
show better yields in Iowa than an
ticipated. In North Dakota and north
ern Minnesota the crop has sustained
| but little injury from heat.
| The oats harvest continues in more
northarly sections, having been delayed
by rains in Michigan. Reports of pre-
mature ripening continue from the up
per Missouri valley. A light crop is in

Pittsburg, Aug. s.-The Commercial
Gazette this morning says:
The Amalgamated executive board
last evening received by telegraph
fat refusal from j. Pierpont Morgan to
reopen the wage conference where 1t
was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln
nearly three weeks ago. The powers
of the steel combine insist in this COM
munication that the only basis Of set
Element will be on the terms which the
financial hacker of the combine, Presi
dent c. NJ. Schwab and Chairman E.
IL. Gary laid down at the melting With
the Amalgamated executive committee
in New York last Saturday.
A member Of the executive board of
the association last night said
These terms are denomnated by
those who have the best interests of
the organization of the steel workers
at heart as the most unfair, the most
unjust ever proposed to any body Of
workingmen by a set of employers or
corpora ton. The terms are such that
the executive board Of the Amalga-
mated association cannot accept, and
has already gone on record to that eff
feet.
This morning the answer Of Mr..
Morgan IS expected by mail. There is
scarcely a fragment Of hope that the
Amalgamated association will back
down from its we'll known position. The
leaders of the workers will in reply out
line their plans to the. steel corpora
ton for continuation of the great
struggle. They will include the stop
ping of every wheel possible in the
works of the combine, and the extern
sion of the strike in all possible direc-
ton by the Amalgamated association.
To-day may develop much, but if the
combine cannot be made to waVer

brought to bear, the great conflict will
probably be fought to the bitter end. -

age have given agriculturists in the
same area the most Wonderful winter
