REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Aug. 20
(SpeciaL)-This town is all torn up
over the efforts of the preach
ers to interfere with Sunday base
ball playing. Even the churches are di-
vided and no one minister can hold his
congregation together in an opinion OF
whether his action was right or wrong.
Many prominent church members are en-
phatic in their denunciation of the policy
of the ministers. The outcome of the af-
fair bids fair to have a far-reaching in
fiuence one way or another.
The balance of the sentiment is plainly
with the ball players. Their reason for
this stand, a number of the prominent
citizens state is that although they do not
advocate Sunday amusements of any
kind, they were given the impression that
the action taken by the ministers and
others was not animated by spirit Of
justice. There were three ministers ar
rested by the advocates Of Sunday ball
playing and six church members, all
charged with witnessing and contributing
to assist in Sunday amusements. The
only ball players arrested were four Of
the local club.
The trial was postponed for one
day because of inability to tie the
county attorney, who is away home.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Col Dunwoody, acting chief signal Of
ficer, has received dispatch from Capt.
Green, at St Michaels, Alaska, report
ing upon the conditions of the Alaskan
cable between st. Michael and Nome
City. 1t appears that this cable has
been broken in several places, and parts
of 1t lost and destroyed. Capt Green
says it would be wholly inexpedient for
the government to spend money In re-
pairing or to rent new cable at this
place.

WINONA, Mimi, Aug 2O.-(special)-
Further information has been received
here regarding the two strangers in the
city last week looking up railway mat
tiers. Some more Of the information that
they secured here has leaked out, and
from the nature of their inquiries there
is no longer any reason to doubt that the
road desires a more direct entrance into
the city than the roundabout line of the
WinOna & Western road, and that it is
likely that a direct connection will be
made with the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
track at some point between this city
and Minnesota City. 1t is understood
that the Great Western is also seriously
considering a Wisconsin connection with
the purchase of the Winona & Western
road If it is made. The strangers made
careful inquiries as to the bridge facili-
ties for crossing the river, and it is
thought that if no arrangements for the
use of the Green Bay tracks is made, the
proposed new line to Eau Claire, may be
built.
Rev. Father Meier, pastor of st. Jo-

NOTABLE GATHERING.
Former superintendent Mt st.
Cloud Revisit the Institution.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 20.-(Special)
-Supt. Frank Randall, of the state re-
fCrmatory, entertained notable gathef-
ing today at that institution. 1t took the
form of a picnic given in honor of d. IL.
Myers. the first superintendent of the re
formatory, who is now a resident OF Cali
fornia, on visit TO his old nome. IN
addition to Myers, William e. Lee, Of
Litchfield, and w. II. Houlton, sof Elk
River, who succeeded as superintendent
of the reformatory, were present, togeth-
er with a number of former members ca
the boards of managers, including John
Cooper, st. Cloud; Charles Keith, Prince
ton; George O'Reilly, St. Paul; O. e.
Merriam, Minneapolis; d. II. Evans and
George W. Stewart and wife, st. Cloud;
c. S. Crandau, Owatonna, and j. q.
Hultkranz. Supt. Coleman, of the Anoka
insane asylum, happened at the reform
atory on business and became mem
Der of the picnic party.
The forenoon was spent in renewing
acQuaintanceS and inspecting the instttu-
ton, the older superintendent finding
methods since the years in which they
were in full charge. The regular morn
ing military drill, in which practically
all of the inmates take part, was delayed
until after the arrival of the guests OF
the day Then followed a trip through
the different portions Of the institution.
Mrs. Randall took charge of the guests
at noon, and lunch was served at the
Randall home This afternoon the mem
bers of the party were driven to Pleas
ant lake for an outing, returning late
in the evening. This is probably the first
occasion where such a picnic has been
held at which all of the superintendent
of a state institution have been present.
Mr.. Mycr was naturally the lion of the
day, owing to his being the father OF
the institution" and he found many
amusing incidents during the day with
which to regale the later working force
at MinneSota's place of reform for men.

$325, and notified him to keep the price
secret.
Mr. Phelps publishesth the letter of Chair
man Leavltt, of the board of control, in
the Duluth papers today, together with g
red hot roast for the board.
On the face Of It, the matter did look
rather queer but the difference grows
out Of an error of Mr.. Leavitt in notifying
Mr.. Phelps of the contract. He stated
mat the price was f 9. b: on track in
Duluth and Mr. Phelps applied For the
price of the same coal at the same point.
The Northwestern Fuel company, Of this
city, which has the contract says the
price of $685. was for coal delivered at
the school. This allows about 60 cents
for the haul which is about two or three
miles and long way up hill.
Ordinarily the companies get so cents
a ton for delivering coal in Duluth, but
claim that the longer haul to the normal
makes it worth 60 cents. Mr.. Phelps
could have learned of this error by in
quiring at the office of the Northwestern
Fuel company here. At its office today
it was asserted that if the normal board
repudiates the contract, it cannot make
a new one under 81 ton.

SENIOR VIGUNA DEAD
CHILEAN MINISTER TO THE UNITED
STATES PASSES AWAY AT
BUFFALO
WELL LIKED AT THE CAPITAL
His First Service at Washington
Was in IS7o,eas First secre-
tary of HIS Countrys
Legation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The state de-
partment is advised by telegraph of the
death of Senior Don Carlos Morla Vicuna.
minister from Chilerto the United States.
which occurred at Buffalo this morning
Senior Vicuna was one of the best known
South American statesmen.
The notification came. from Senior In
fanta, first secretary of the Chilean Legal
ton, who has been with the minister at
Buffalo, and gave no details beyond the
simple announcement that Senior Vicuna
mad passed away. He had been Ill for
some time with pneumonia and after
throwing off the first attack suffered a
relapse from which he was unable to
rally. Owing to his being the diplomatic
representative of Chile to the United
States, the government will show every
consideration of respect and honor to the
deceased. Beside being minister from
Chile, he was commissioner to the Pan,
American exposition and lately a delegate
on the Chilean claims commission.
Senior Vicuna came to Washington
about three years ago, succeeding Min
lister Cana who was transferred to Lon
don. The Vicunas have been prominent
in South American affairs, and the min
lister soon endeared himself to the officials
and diplomatists in Washington by his
charming personality and mis- ability. He
was accompanied by his wife and family
who have been an interesting acquisition
to the diplomatic circle. OF late the le-
cation in Washington has been closed.
the minister and family and the entire
official establishment being removed to
Buffalo, where Chile had taken the lead
of South American republics in the mag
nitude of it's exhibit. Soon after the re-
ceipt of the dispatch announcing the
minister's death, Secretary Hay sent a
message of coincidence to the bereaved
relatives and friends.
A dispatch was sent from the state de-
partment to Director General Buchanan.
of the exposition at Buffalo, authorizing
him to represent the department at such
ceremonies as will be held for the late
minister, and asking him to send a floral
wreath in the name of the department
Minister Vicuna began his diplomatic
career in Washington in1S70 as first sec
rotary of the Chilean CATION serving in
that capacity for two years, and was
then transferred to London Subsequent
ly, while filing the same office to the
legation in Paris, he was appointed
financial secretary Of Chile in connection
with the various European legations. In
1895 ne was appointed envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotertiary to the re-
publ.cs of Uruguay and Paraguay, and in
1896 was transferred to act in that ca
pac,ty in the Argentine Republic. During
the latter part of 1896 he was made secrc-
tary of state in the Chilean cabinet, and
after holding that office for a period of
ten months, was sent as minister to the
United States.

CAR TO VISIT FRANCE
WILL BE PRESIDENT LOUBETS
GUEST ABOUT SEPT. Is.

PARIS, Aug. 20.-The Parlsians were
delighted today by the unexpected an
nouncement that the car Of Russia has
accepted President Loubet's invitation to
witness the close of the grand maneU-
vers at Rheims and that he will land at
Dunkirk after having previously witness
ed, with President Loubet, a review OF
the northern squadron, which will well
come his majesty to French waters. 1t
is also said that the cZarina viii accom-
pany the car during his visit to France.
There is a drop of bitterness. however,
mingled in the cup of JOY, and that is
that the car will stop on his way for
the purpose of seeing Emperor William
of Germany. But the papers are consol-
ing the Parfsians with assertions that the
interview between the car and Emperor
William will take place at sea, off Dant-
zic, so the car will not set foot on Ger
man soil before treading that of France.
The Temps says the visit was personally
arranged between President Loubet and
the car themselves, through the inter-
mediary of a Russian court official.
President Loubet only informed the MIN
listers fortnight ago, when the matter
was practically settled. He then showed
them the warm letter of invitation which
he had sent to the car, and the cordial
acceptance which was shortly afterward
received
The Temps also says the foreign Office
has no news of an intended meeting Of
the czar, Emperor William and King
Edward at Kiel Sept. Z, as telegraphed
from Berlin this afternoon. The foreign
office thinks it can even deny the truth
of the story. 0 30
The papers already are publishing elab-
crate so-calIed official programmes Of
the visit, but the correspondent of the
Associated Press learns. from the foreign
Office here that these are largely In-
aginary, as even the exact dates of the
arrival and departure of the car are not
fixed. The only thing certain is that he
will arrive between Sept. 10 and 20. He
Will remain four or five days and will
join the czarlna, who will come by the
land route to Compiegne, to which place
he viii proceed from Rheims, where he
and President Loubet will review 10000
troops about Sept. 49, 81.
The officials of the foreign office irti-
mate that the exact dates are purposely
withheld, in order to prevent the plot
ting Of anarchists and others.

WRECK OF THE GOLCONDA.
Known Dead Number Seventeen
Boat CapsiZed by Hurricane

PADUCHA, Ky, Aug. 2O-The horror
Of the City Of GOlconda disaster at Cot
tonwood Bar, four miles above Paducan
last night, grows, as body after body Is
brought into the city and taken 10 the
undertakers. The boats register has not
yet been recovered. but It Is certain tho
death list will number seventeen and per-
haps twenty-five An official investiga-
ton Will be made as II seems certain that
the most culpable carelessness caused
the catastrophe.
M. A Peck, the pilot, claims the en-
gineer deserted his post and that he
could not manage the boat with the en-
gines helpless. The engineer denies this
and claims that he remained at the thrOt-
tie until the water was waist deep.
Frank Finders, one OF the passengers,
corroborated by several others. declares
that the effort TO land brought the side
Of the boat around 80 that the wind struck
It full force There had been almost
gale blowing for ten minutes, and one
man who could not swim, went 20 the
pilot house and begged the pilot TO land.
When he did finally consent to land the
hurricane, visible as huge black streak
sweeping across the river. struck tho
boat as IT swung around in a position
unable to resist It. Early this morning
the work Of searching for the remains be-
gan.
The reason the work Of recovery IS 50
slow Is because the boats furniture is
piled on the bodies. The boat IS being
dismantled as she Hes In eighteen feet
Of water, in order that the dead may DO
reached. Hundreds are on the scene as
spectators and volunteer assistants. The
crowd is 50 great that the wrecklng crew
has difficulty in working.

Ill, the only woman gaved Is badly
bruised When she went down she ciung

by rougters. She was sitting on the lower
guards so she could be near her husband,

VIII Help Retailers.

The lumber manufacturers, at the semi
annual meeting Of the Mississippi Val
ley Lumbermen's association Yesterday
at the West hotel, decided to stand bv
the retail dalers throughout the coun-
try, and to desist from selling at retail
rates to men they think should be pa
irons of country yards
This does not mean that they will not
sell to consumers. The manufacturers
will stand by the retailers and allow
them profit, even on sales with which
they have no connection
A resolution was adopted by the assoc
citation defining the limits of retail yards
and the attitude of the association TO-
wards retailers and retail associations
The most important clause was one in
which it was set forth that all persons
buying from manufacturers for shipment
except retail dealers shall be Compelled
to pay 10 per cent above the wholesale
price, the freight as well; that this IN
per cent shall be turned over to the sec
rotary of the Mississippi Valley associa-
ton. to be distributed among the retail
lumber yards in the district to which the
shipment was made. '--0

A serious problem confronts the Min

grave fears of an outbreak of SMALLPOX
in the lumber camps during the winter.
Last year many Of the camps were Wis
tied by the plague, and some camps were
quarantined by the health authorities.
A workman broke quarantine at one
camp, and while maing his escape was
killed by one of the quarantine guards
Employers had much difficulty in holding
their crews as a result of the scare in
the Minnesota and Wisconsin pineries.
While the state board of health took
extreme measures in an attempt to wipe
out the disease in and about the camps
danger still, and reports from Lake Su-
perior districts say the disease is preya-
lent at camps where summer logging has
been carried on.

Grand Bourg, the principal town Of this
island (having population of about 1900

some 500 houses. before the flames were
extinguished. From 5000 to 1900 persons
