me cupOla, net NOIk Ol SPoutiiS E connecting the various mills with machines upon the floor above: supported by hangers from the ceil- ing, line shaft for driving ma chinery above, connected by belt with the line shaft in the basement; stempel fire extinguisher, and standpipe and hose, connected with double acting power pump in the main building outside.
 Upon the bolting floor in the third story are one 48-inch Uni versal bolter, two Gray centrifugal reels, one Gray round reel, one Allis purifier and one Smith puri- fer, one Eureka wheat scourer, one Prinz dust collector, and stor- age bins for flour and clean wheat.
 In the attic (the cupola) are two line shafts, all the elevator heads, and two Cyclone dust collectors.
 In the washing and cleaning building, upon the first floor there are weigh hopper and scale for receiving and weighing wheat, four elevator boots, one steamer containing hot air coil in an iron chamber to heat air to be used in drying the wheat after washing one wheat, washing machine the only one in Sonora, one fan for delivery of hot or cold air as needed into the wheat drying column. a perforated iron cylinder about two feet in diameter, passing from this floor up into the room above and line shafting and pulleys running the machinery.
 Upon the second floor is the re-
 
 ceiving separator, machine, which separates from the wheat carried to it automatically from the hopper of the weighing scale below, all dirt, sticks and stones 1t may contain, returning them below to be weighed and deducted from the account of the vendor. The wheat bin from which the washer is fed is also upon this floor, and the upper end of the drying column.
 In the attic, in the cupola above. are four elevator heads, one line shalt and two dust collectors.
 The power consists of two Allis 4s H. P. boilers, one 40 H. P. en- zine, built in Mazatlan, one Still we'll and Beard heater, two Hooker pumps.
 To follow the wheat from the weigh hopper through the various processes, until it comes out ot the mill finished product is very in- teresting. From that machine it goes immediately to the receiving separator upon the floor above, where, as hereinbefore stated it IS purged of all extraneous matter, and thence conveyed by means ot spouts and conveyors to the storage galleries, where 1t rests until 1t IS wanted for milling. Of these galleries there are four, holding

autOmatlc cOnVeyOrS the wheat IS
 conveyed from one to another.
 Into whichever bin the grain first
 flows it finally goes into No. I
 whence it is conveyed by an auto
 matic carrier a distance of twenty
 feet to an elevator, which delivers
 it to the milling separator, where it
 passes over a series of sieves in a
 strong curreRt of air, after which 1t passes through an elevator to a
 washing bin, and from that through a spout into the washer upon the floor below, where in a revolving iron hopper 1t is subjected to a stream of water removing all inn purities yet adhering to the outer shell of the kernel. Then the grain goes into the drying column through which a rapidly revolving fan forces a continuous stream of air, hot or cold, as needed. If hot air is wanted steam is turned on and the fan draws the air through a coil wound around inside of the steamer, heating as it passes; if cold air is wanted the coil is discon-
 nected and the air comes directly
 from the outside. From the drying column the grain passes into the
 mill, and is put through the Eureka scourer, where it is subjected to strong current of air, which fairly polishes it, thence into a bin and out upon the automatic weighing scale, whence it passes to the first break rolls and through three of these to on Allis sieve scalper which separates the coarse and fine: then the fourth roll is passed into a Gray centrifugal reel, separating the bran and carrying 1t away to the bran room. Passing another roll the flour is sent to the Universal bolter, for further separation, the coarse and fine middlings going to the two purifiers, where light inn purities are removed by strong current of air. The purified mid dlings are again sent to the smooth rools and again passed through the universal bolter, and the finished product goes to the packing bin, from which it is packed into sacks and is ready for market, the best flour made in Sonora.
 As hereinbefore stated the mill comprises all the latest and most receut improvements in Touring machinery, and is without an equal in Sonora. The machinery is all from the shops of E. P. Allis & Go. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U. s. A. and the mill is in charge of MT. Oliver E. Field who was sent out from Milwaukee by Alis Co.,, at the special request of Aguilar & Morales for a man thoroughly fam iliar with the Allis system of mill ing. MT. Field was several years one of the foremen mill wrights with the Allis & Go. and this is the fourth time he has been sent by

placed on the boilers in the engine
room to thaw. They were evidently
forgotten, as the men were preparing
to go to dinner when the stuff explod-
ed. The engine house was literally
blown to pieces. Impossible as it
seems the engine boilers were not dam

are on top OF the boilers. were torn of.

wagon, but inflicted no injury on the

VIII Comply with All the Demands
of the Powers.
Pekin, Feb. 20-Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang have received a tele-
gram which virtually means that the
Chinese will comply with all the de-
mands OF the powers, although they
still desire information on a few minor
points The foreign ENJOYS look for
ward confidently to absolute compli-
ance tomorrow at the latest.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
have been greatly worried by the prep
arations for the expedition into the in
terror, and they have strongly urged
the court to yield, pointing out that
otherwise the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
empire was probable.
The Pekin correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Post telegraphs his paper
that he understands that Gen. Voyron,
the French commander, Is willing 70
serve under Count Won waldersee IN
the expedition. He emphasizes the
difficulties OF transport and commits
sariat likely TO be experienced In the
provinces OF Shan-Si and Shen-Si. both
OF which are AFFLICTED with famine. and
says:
"A large Chinese army Is preparing
to meet the foreign advance. Even II
the empress dowager yields on the
punishment question 1t is desirable
that the expedition should bring the
emperor back and detain him until the
demands OF the powers are satisfied"

CONGER TO PROTEST
Against Waldersee's Proposed Ex-
petition Against the Chinese.
HIS INSTRUCTIONS FORWARDED

Proposed Expedition. Are In Viola
ton OF the Rights OF the Individual
Parties to the Peace Negotiations,
Because They Menace Success.
Washington, Feb 20.-Minister Con-
ger has been instructed by cable to
communicate to the foreign ministers
at Pekin the feeling OF the United
States government that further hostile
expeditions should not be INDUCED in
at this time.
This action was taken by the state
department after the cabinet discussion
had developed the attitude OF the ad-
ministration. 1t Is understood that
this course was regarded as best, since
1t left room for another appeal to the
powers directly through their foreign
offices In case Mr.. Conger's efforts are
futile. The state department officials
decline to make public the text OF the
note. However, 1t was said to be in
perfect accord with the policy already
developed and to make manifest the
deep conviction OF the United States
government that these proposed hostile
expeditions are in violation of the
rights OF the individual parties to the
peace negotiations, because tending to
bring about the failure OF these nego-
tiations.
If the threat of military expeditions
Is based upon desire to force the Chi
nese ENJOYS to speedier action upon
the ministerial proposals, then Il must
be stated that our government disap-
proves, feeling that it has not yet been
demonstrated sufficiently that the Chi
nese government is not acting to the
best OF its ability. Regarding the in
sistence OF the foreign ministers on the
imposition OF the death penalty upon
the whole list OF prescribed Chinese Of
ficials, 1t is recalled that the Chinese
agreed to administer the severest pos
sible punishment, and II is conceived
here that it may be entirely impossible
for that government to go to the length
demanded by the ministers.
These considerations are Of course
known to the foreign ministers in Pc
kin, but 1t will be Mr.. Conger's duty
to refresh their recollections as to the
engagements their governments enter
ed into with the United States, as well
as with China, and he will point out
that our attitude Is in exact accordance
with the line laid down in the formal
notes preceding the beginning Of the
negotiations. The United States gov
eminent will continue to deal with the
other powers through their diplomatic
agencies, ignoring the suggestion that
the ministers at Pekin have no control
over the military forces stationed there.
and carrying out the same theory Gen.
Chaffee will act In thorough harmony
with any suggestions made by Mr.. Con-
ger.

That Callahan, the Man Under Ar
rest, Was the Man who Guarded
Him-Prisoner Denies Completely.
Omaha, Feb. 20.-The police have
under arrest James Callahan, charged
with completely In the abduction Of
Edward Cudahy, Jr., on the night OF
Dec Is. Callahan was arrested LAST
Saturday. but the police kept 1t q secret
until yesterday in the hope OF securing
other arrests. Young Cudahy has pos
ttively identified him as the man who
accosted him near the Cudahy real
dence and represented himself to be a
sheriff from an adjoining county and
forced him into a buggy, and also as
the man who kept guard over him at
the Melrose Hill house during the so
hours he was kept prisoner, pending
the negotiations for the ransom OF
5000 which Mr.. Cudahy paid for the
return OF the boy. Daniel II. Burrss,
who sold horse and buggy to two
men who are supposed to have used II
to procure the abduction. also identi-
ned Callahan as one Of the men with
whom he made the deal. Marie Lar
sen, servant In the employ OF J. N.
II. Patrick, of whom the kidnapers
rented a house, was the third person
to identify Callahan, and says he Is
the man who paid a months rent In
advance for a cottage in Happy Hol-
low, which the bandits Abandoned two
weeks before the abduction, fearing
discovery.
Callahan denies absolutely that he
had anything to do with the kidnapping,
but admits that he was a close friend
OF Grove. He says he can prove an
alibi, and states that during the time
which It is claimed he spent guarding
young Cudahy he was at the home OF
his sister, a Mrs. Kelly, living at Pop
pleton avenue and Fifty-third street,
which is short distance from the Mel
rose Hill house.
Mrs. Kelly was asked last night con-
corning the whereabouts OF Callahan
at the time OF the abduction and said
the day following the deed he was at
her home, but acknowledged that she
does not know his whereabouts the
night before
Last night the police secured infor-
nation which they expect to lead to the
arrest OF another man connected with
the crime. He is coachman OF fam
lily friend OF Mr.. Cudahy, and II Is
claimed he has been acting very queer
ly in the matter ever since the kidnap-
Ing. The coachman is not suspected as
being one OF the principals. His son
Is the man really wanted, and the elder
man is expected to tell OF his sons
actions at the time OF the stealing OF
the boy. The coachman's son, Chief
OF Police Donahue says, fits infinitely
the description OF man No. 3, and Is
| now the object of the search.
Callahan is 80 years OF age and has
lived in Omaha for several years. He
| has been employed in the packing
house OF the Cudahy Packing company
| at South Omaha up to three months
ago. He has not been employed for
some time, but the police claim he has
been spending money freely and taking
life easy. In 1898 he was given a Eve
year penitentiary sentence for highway
robbery, but after serving Is months
was paroled- Six months later he was
convicted OF stealing and sent back to
serve the remainder OF the sentence.

BREAK IN DELAWARE DEADLOCK
Addic<s Comes Within Six Vote. Of
Being Elected

Dover, Del, Feb. 20.-There was
break in the ranks OF the regular Re-
publicans yesterday, when the ballot
for United States senator was taken.
Four regulars" who have opposed the
election OF ]. Edward Addicks to the
national senate-Senators Groves and
hcFarlan and Representatives Baynard
and Dayett-voted for him yesterday
for the short term. Six more votes
weuld have elected Addicks. This Is
probably the forerunIer OF what the
Addicks followers have been claiming
for several days past, namely, that there
would be serious break in the ranks
OF the regular Republicans, and that
their candidate would ultimately be
chosen to the senate.
Senator Groves and Representative
Baynard were elected as Union Repub-
hcans, and have been credited to Ad-
dicks from the first, or whenever he
needed them. Senator McFarlan voted
for Addicks two years ago. This leaves
the vote Of Representative Dayett as
the only gain for Mr.. Addicks.

contents OF a notorious joint smashed
broke into cold storage plant In
search or liquor, ruined the mirrors on
several bars found stored in a livery
