AMERICAN RUSH TO EUROPE.
Steamship Agents and Hotel Manaa.
ers Agree That Travel is
Unparalleled.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-There is per
haps nothing more surprising to the
average Britisher just now than the
prodigious influx of visitors from
America. Despite that last year the
Paris exposition and the great relig-
ious convention made the American
rush to Europe greater than ever be-
fore, this year It has been greater
still
This is the season of the year when
the presence of American visitors is
most noticeable, for whether they
want to land in British or other Eu-
ropean ports they all want to return
via London From August 20 to Oc-
tober is is the time mostly selected
for homeward voyages. Consequent
steamship passages are booked
weeks ahead and berths are now at a
premium.
At Cooks offices they say this is the
heaviest year for American travel
they ever had. The Hamburg Amer
lean agents say that all their boats
have been full during the season,
which has been much longer than usu.
al. The Atlantic Transport Line re-
ports that il has carried more pass
engers this year than ever before
So or down the list. Everybody is as
busy as can be.

Wherever the Armour agents go

it if the battle at st. Louis brings
victory to the banner of the combine
The aim of the Armours is to buy
not less than one million barrels OF

two other American banks have a cap

Bank of Commerce, but the surplus of
neither sof these exceeds $1,000. 900.
When the First National acquired

its surplus of $1,000. 900. the price be

Thirty Men Suffocated in the
New Cleveland Water
Works Tunnel.
Crib Caught Fire and Destroy
ed-Several Workmen
Drowned.

CLEVELAND. Ohio Aug. 14,-Thir.
ty men were suffocated in the new
water works tunnel here this morn,
ing and number OF workmen were
drowned in the awful calamity.
The new water works tunnel crib
caught fire and was almost destroy
ed by the flames. Three gangs OF
crib We're caught like rats in trap
and either had to jump into the lake
and drown or go back into the uln-
mel and meet death by suffocation
Thirty men who were at work in
the tunnel are probably all dead from
suifocation.
At 6 a. IN. when a tug reached the
scene of the fire it had died down
somewhat. The life saving crew of
the tug Clevelander and four other
tugs We're soon at hand. but nothing
could be done to learn the fate of the
men in the tunnel because of the still
burning crib.
The opinion of many on the scene
was that the men had all perished for
the lack of air Others thought they
might be safe and that possibly the
supply of compressed air had not been
shut off
At 80 a tug arrived here and II
already been found
Nine men We're recovered alive from
the ruins at 10 o'clock this forenoon.

REPORTERS WEAR SILK HATS.
London Newspaper Requires Staff to
Dress Like Gentlemen"

LONDON. g-ti.-Fleet street
has been enjoying a quiet smile over
the predicament of the unfortunate
members of the staff of daily papes
whom recent ukase from the powers
that be compels to appear on duty
in silk hats and black frock coats.
AS the paper in question has built
mp reputation for hustling. the re
porters are obliged to live up to this
reputation. Their misery chasing
news in the stiflling London streets
with the thermometer soaring century
ward can be imagined better than de
scribed.
The reason for this order is said to
be that one of the staff recently had
occasion to go TO one of the govern
ment Offices to interview some minis
ter or private secretary The lordly
doorkeeper who stands guard against
the intrusion of common mortals.
Judging from the reporters appear
ance. in straw hat and alpaca coat
that he was some vulgar person. treat
ed his request that his card be sent in
with disdain. When the incident was
reported back TO the newspaper office
he editor complained to the minis
ter. The later after making investi-
cation. replied to the editor, uphold
ing the action of the door-keeper. who
had decided by appearances. Hence
the general order requiring every one
of the staff to appear dressed like a
gentleman"

manufacturers are greatly discouraged

TO UPSET LAND LOTTERY.
Woodward, Okla, Attorneys Threaten
to BEGIN LEGAL Action,

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 14.-Accord.
ing to Judge Marum, of Woodward
o. r, steps are to be taken to upset
the recent land lottery in Oklahoma.
Judge Marum is member of the law
firm of Houston & Marum.
I'VE will go into court to contest
the lottery, and we will win said
Judge Marum today. THE question
We will raise will be. Has congress
the power to delegate to the presid Ant
the right to unmake old laws and In
stitute new ones?'
''It has not. and Oklahoma is being
settled today under laws unlegally
made and unmade. For instance. no
man can take up land until he has ex.
amined it for mineral. II he finds
mineral upon it he cannot hold /, II
he does not find mineral then he can
prove up on it. Claims are being
sworn to as non-mineral bearing
The claimants have not prospected tn
eral upon them. The consequence is
the nonmineral oath is false, and we
propose to undo the lottery"
'Then who will get the land?"
"The first man to file on It. 1t will
be well for the man who drew TIE
claim to be on it the day the decision
is given, knocking out the lottery. n
If he is not there, squatter will
be, and the squatter will have the prior
right"
When do you intend to begin the
fight"
Just as soon as the nonmineral
oaths come in," was the reply.
