DELEGATE FLYNN.

RETURNING FROM HAWAII.

Last night, on the No. passenger
train from the west, there arrived
Hon. Dennis T. Flynn, the we'll known
and popular delegate to congress from
Oklahoma. He was returning to Guth.

Hawaiian islands, and stopped over

and to them Delegate Flynn stated
tEat he was positively certain that the
omnibus statehood bill would become
n law in the coming December at the
short session of congress. He spoke
entertainingly about Delegate Rodey
and stated that his great work for
the cause of statehood was the ad
miration of even those who had
sCruples about the admission of the
territories into the sisterhood of
states. For the cause and as reward
for his unselfish work, Delegate
Flynn said the people of New Mexico,
almost irrespective of party affilia-
tons, should see to it that Rodey was
returned to congress at the fall cleo

Delegate Flynn is not a candidate
for reelection, but when Oklahoma is
made a state his friends there, no
doubt, will see that he is one of the

KNOX A FIGHTER.
The Attorney General Had Row with
Noisy Toughs.

New York, Aug. S.--Attorney Gen
eral Knox and Mrs. Knox spent last
night in this city and left early today
for Oyster Bay to visit President
Roosevelt. Knox admitted today that
he had been a participant in an un-
pleasantness in cafe at Atlantic City
last Wednesday night, but said that
the published accounts of the occur
renee had been exaggerated. He said
that no blows were exchanged. Knox's
version of the incident was that he en-
tered the cafe with a party of friends
consisting of four ladies and three
men. At a near by table sat party of
three men, one of whom he knew, but
declined to give his name. These men
became noisy and were disagreeable
He asked -The waiter to have them put
out of the room. The waiter requested
the disturbers to be quiet but instead
they became more noisy. Then Knox
escorted his party outside and return
ed to the cafe alone. An alteration
ensued and one of the men made a
lunge at Knox, but did not hit him,
and in a few minutes it was all over
and he returned to his friends. Knox
said that the statement that the
trouble was in any way connected with
the trust question was absurd.

gard the strike as practically settled.

GENERAL FUNSTON LAID UP.

Chicago. Aug. S.-Lewis G. Toombs
was hung at 11:25 this morning for
the murder of Carrie Larsen, on De-
cember 80. Toombs was o cook of the
steamer Peerless and had hired a
young woman to assist him on board
the boat, which was lying ice bound in
its winter quarters in the Chicago
river. The only other occupant of the
boat was Robert Keissig, roustabout.
1t was the story of Keissig that con-
victed Toombs of one of the most hor-
rible crimes ever discovered in this
city. Late at night, Toombs had come
on the steamer and had tried to force
his way into the young woman's
room. Failing of this, he ordered her
to cook him a meal AS she started
to comply Toombs strangled her and
mutilated her body horribly and then
compelled Keissig, who was an unwill.
ing witness, to help him bury the body
under the ice of the river. Several
days after the boy ran away to the pc
lice. fearing for his own life and told
the story which resulted in the recov.
cry of the body of the woman and
Toombs' conviction. Two trials were
held In the first two brothers on the
jury held out for absolute acquittal.
The verdict in the second trial was
rendered after a deliberation of only
twenty minutes. One stay of execution
was granted and the supreme court APP
pealed to for snpercedeas.
Toombs, went to the scaffold without
a tremor. He made short statement
in which he protested his innocence
and expressed confidence that his
name would be cleared of the crime
attributed to him. Death resulted from
strangulation.

contractors agreed to accept payments
by annual instalments of 100000, be-
ginning on the completion of the dams
and extending over thirty years-a to-
tai of S24,000,000. Work was begun
Immediately after the contract was
signed, and about a year ago it was
stated that progress had been so much
more rapid than had been expected
that there was reason to believe that
the undertaking would be completed
six months earlier than was originally
thought possible. Continuous employ
ment on the Assouan dam has been
given for the last eighteen months to
5000 operatives, so per cent of whom
are Egyptians.

Inauaration of Assouan Dam.

London, Aug. Sit is stated that
the Prince of Wales and General
Kitchener will be present with the
khedive of Egypt at the inauguration
of the great Assouan dam in Decem-
ber. The dam at Assouan, the last
coping stone of which was laid with
suitable ceremonies last week, marks
the completion of the Nile Reservoir,
which, with the exception of the Suez
canal, is considered the greatest of
all the public works constructed in
Egypt during the British occupation of
the land. 1t is but fitting therefore
that its inauguration should be attended
by the heir TO the throne and the gen
eral who did so much for the pacifca-
tion of the upper Nile region.
The new reservoir will enable wide
tracts of land to bear two crops year
instead of one, will bring waste dis
tricts into tillage and will supply L.
900. 600 900 cubic meters of water an
pualIy. The dam at Assouan is IA
miles long. II is pierced by lS0 open
ings. which have steel sluice gates.
The news that the Nile reservoir
was TO be begun was contained in an
announcement on February 20, 1898, TO
the effect that the Khedive in council
had approved a contract with John
Aird & Co. which settled the much de-
bated question. The contract called
fer the completion of the two dams in
five years from July l, 1898, and the
