 The hope expressed that another steamer would reach Nome this fall seems to be vanishing. The shipping men of the Pacific Coast seem to have much to learn concerning the ''open season" in Bering sea. There is no reason why a steamer could not safely leave Nome as late as December l.

HEAT DROVE HIM INSANE.
r. Ii. Braci<ett. q Retired Farmer. Killed
His Wife and Himself While on
Visit to Their Daughter.

Des Moines, Ia, July 6.-F. A.
Bracket, a retired farmer from At
lantic City, Ia, killed his wife and
then shot himself in their rooms at
the home of their daughter, Mrs. Otis
E. Powell, 2O2 West Ninth street,
about one o'clock Friday morning.
The tragedy was not discovered until
ten o'clock when Mrs. Powell went up
stairs to call her father and mother to
breakfast. Bracket was lying on
the bed with bullet hole through
his forehead, while his wife was upon
the floor with a bullet hole in her
temple. Both were dead. Ill-health
and the extreme heat is supposed to
have been the cause which led to the
commission of the deed. The couple
had come to Des Moines to spend the
Fourth and had gone to the park dur
ing the day, where Bracket frequent
ly complained that the heat of the
day was making him ill. It is be.
heved his mind became affected.

TRAFFIC STILL TIED Up.
Striking Freight Handlers in East
st. Louis Hold Their Own and
Are Confident Of Success.
RETALIA1oRY MEASURES ARE ADOPTED
When Railroads Sought to Bill Freight
Through to st. Louis the Strikers Crossed
the River and Began to Can Out the
Men In the Freight Houses ON the Mis-
souri, Side.

St. Louis, July 6.-An effort made
by the striking freight handlers of
East ST. Louis to call out the men in
the freight houses on this side of the
river was only partially successful.
Less than 100 went out. A crowd of
200 strikers and sympathizers from
the east side succeeded in getting
most of the men in the north ST.
Louis freight houses, near the river
front, to quit work. They were dis
persed by the police, however, when
they reached Cupples station district
and make d demonstration around the
Frisco and Missouri Pacific ware
houses. The attempt to extend the
strike, which has been in progress in
East ST. Louis since Monday, to the
Missouri side, was made, it is said, in
retaliation for the policy the rail-
roads adopted of billing freight
through to ST. Louis in order to avoiN
the congested warehouses on the east
side.
In East st. Louis the congestion of
traffic continues, only small quantity
of freight being moved. The Illinois
Central railroad has imported 120 ne
groes, whom they put to work in the
places of the striking truckers and
sorters. A car. full of youths and boys
from nearby points are also being
used by the road as checkers and
clerks. They and the freight han
llers are working without interference.
Small forces of pen are at work in
the warehouses of the Chicago & AL
ton and Mobile & Ohio railroads. The
1.5OO striking freight handlers are
still out. They are confident of win
ming through the cooperation of the
other railroad men.

or INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Census Bureau VIII Issue Statistics Deal
ing with the Agricultural Interests
of the Country.

Washington, July 6.-Within a few
days the census Office will issue the
first of series of bulletins relating to
the ownership of farms and the value
of farm products. These bulletins,
which will deal with the farm subjects
exhaustively. will show whether or
not there is any foundation for the
claims that the land of the country
is going into fewer hands each year,
and that those who owned farms a
few years ago are becoming tenants,
and, therefore, less prosperous citi-
zens. 1t will not only show the num-
her of farmers who are living on their
own farms, but it will show the aver
age area of each farm, together with
the value of the products. These fig
ures will give some idea as to the in
come of the farmers of the country.
This data will be compiled in such a
way that it can be compared easily
with the data of the same character
which was collected during the census
of 1890.

NEXT MONDAY MORNING
The Proclamation of Pre-. dent Mckinley
Opening Indian Lands VIII BE Given
to the Press.

Washington, July 6.-At the cabinet
meeting Friday Postmaster General
Smith explained how the revenues
of the postal service were being kept
at point far below what they other
wise would be but for the fact that
under the present classification large
class of periodicals We're being
handled at the rate of one cent a
pound, which was a great financial
loss to the service. 1t was his pur-
pose to modify the regulations SO as
to compel this class of publications to
pay eight cents a pound instead of
one as now. These new regulations,
it is said, will be issued in a few days.
Secretary Hitchcock stated, after
the cabinet meeting, that the procla-
nation opening to settlement the
Wichita, Kiowo and Comanche lands
in Oklahoma would be given to the
press for publication next Monday
morning. The date of the opening
will not be announced until that
time.

In Kansas, Missouri and Middle Atlantic
Region the TOrrid Weather Is Drying
Up Crops and All Kinds of Vegetation

Washington, July Ga break in the
hot wave has occurred in some por-
tlons OF the country but it is still very
hot in most of the territory east of
the Rockies. baltimore and ST. Louis,
according to the official observations,
are the hottest cities in the United
States. Both recorded nine degrees
above the average for the week of
July during the past 80 years. Relief
has come in New England and the
temperature is below the seasonable
average there. In Boston it is four de-
grees below the normal.
The hot wave has been dissipated
in the states in the extreme upper
Mississippi valley, the Lake Superior
region and the northern Rocky noun
tain districts, where heavy rains have
sent the mercury downward. The
seat of the hot wave is in the middle
Atlantic states, the middle Missouri
and middle Mississippi valleys. At
many points in this territory the
temperature ranged from six to nine
degrees above normal. No permanent
relief is in sight, although thunder
storms are likely to occur at any
time.

Colonies of United States In Far
Distant Chimes.

Washington, July 6.-Not only the
United States but it's colonies as well
celebrated the Fourth of july this
year, and the boom of the cannon, tie

event at Manila The end of military
rule was hailed with JOY, and natives
and Americans alike joined in the
demonstration, which not only COM
memorated Independence day, but
marked an important stride of the
islands toward actual home rule. Ha-
waii, Guam, Tutuila, and Alaska are
all believed to have made special eff
forts to celebrate. Details of their
demonstrations must come by mail.

Americans in patriotic exercises, even
Spaniards taking advantage of the oc-
casion to pay tribute to the work
done by the United States in the re-
construction of q government.

large cities in every part of the world

of land frauds in the northwest Thus
Tar the revelations are confined al
most wholly to Montana and Idaho.
Interior department officials are in
clined to believe, from the extent of
the alleged frauds and the apparent
system under which they have been
perpetrated that they are not confined
to that area. The Montana cases grow
out of the transaction by which Sen
ator w. \. Clark has obtained posses
sion of about $4,000 acres of the pub
lie domain and timber lands in that
state. 1t appears that Senator Clark
purchased this property outright from
group of men in Montana.

in an interview here says:
The fact that 1000. 900 or more Mahom-
etans have been brought under our flag
In the Philippines renders statehood or
territorial government for some of the
population of some of the islands an i'm
possibility for many years to come
Believers In the koran occupy the south
half of Mindanao and the islands to the
southwark. Their conversion to the
Christian faith is considered by many
to be practically hopeless. although
Jesuit missionaries have gone among
them undauntedly. They were won to
the Mahometan faith from their native
paganism by Mahometan missionaries,
who had an outpost in Borneo.
The relations of the Christians and Ma
hometans in Mindanao are not altogether
harmonious. According to the original
mandate Of their prophet. the latter were
told to kill all unbelievers. unless such
slaughter should interfere with their
own advantage, The Jesuits deal with
them so automatically, however, that
outbreaks are infrequent. The Mahom-
etans will grow jealous and hostile. how
ever, as soon as the zeal of the Christian n
missionary becomes greater than his tact
The United States has dealt literally with
them, however. In order to show that it
has no rartiality to any creed re-
ligion. They are called Moros. or Moors,
by the Spanish, after their ancient enc
mics.
These Mahometans welcomed our rule
They said they were glad of the protec-
ton which we can offer them. and that
they dread conquest by some European
