OF the naval committee, in opening the
debate sounded note of warning
against the overconfident belief that
our navy is invincible. He declared
that our victories at Manila and San,
tlago were due to the fact that we
were contending with an effete and de-
caylns nation, and that our strength
TAR outmatched Spain in those con
tests. -
Mr.. Rixey (Va.) also spoke for. the
Dill, most Of his time being given to
an argument for government construc-
ton of warships.
The conference report on the omni
bus Claims bill was rejected on the
ground that claims not considered by
either branch Of congress had been
inserted in the measure by the confer
ees and the measure was returned to

THREE BOYS DROWN,
One YOUTH Loses His Life in an Al

One YOUTH Loses His Life in an At.
tempt to Save Two Others.
Chicago, May '14.-After rescuing a
smaller boy who could not swim, Fred
FOWLER, II years of age, living at
DoWners Grove, near Chicago, plunged
into an artificial lake at that place in
the attempt to save two others, and
lost his life, the pair he was trying to
save perishing with him. The four
boys had embarked on the lake in a
!eaky canoe and it soon let them all
into the water. Fowler seized Albert
Smith, IL years Of age, and swan
with him to the shore. He then re-
turned for Leonard Wall and Harry
Morris, but they grabbed his arms
so that he was unable to swim and all
three sank. Young Smith, standing on
the shore, seeing the other boys go
down, tied rope to his waist, and,
although unable to swim, leaped into
the water in an attempt to save them.
He managed to paddle out to the three
boys, and like Fowler was seized in
such a manner that he was unable to
do anything. Some men who had
come to the scene pulled desperately
on the rope in the hope of bringing
the quartet.e to shore, but Fowler,
Wall and Morris lost their holds on
Smith and were drowned. Smith was
pulled ashore more dead than alive,
but was revived. The three dead
bodies were recovered later.

FIGHT OVER EXPORT TRADE.
MI'ers Claim to Be Struggling for Its
Preservation.

Chicago, May 14-The mil:ers of the
country are engaged in what they
claim to be struggle for the preser-
walton of the export trade. The fight
is being headed by the Millers' Nation
al Federation, of which B. A. Eckhart
is president. Arrayed on the side of
the millers are the Western roads,
under the leadership of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, and against
the milling interests are the, Central
Traffic association and Trunk Line as,
ISOLATION roads. A meeting was held
in Chicago during the day at which
representatives of all lines from Chi
cago to the seaboard and from Chicago
to St. Paul and Minneapolis and also
representatives of the lake carrying
lines and of the Millers' National Fed
GRAFTON were present. No agreement
was reached, as the St. Paul refused
to withdraw it's rate of 20k cents on
flour for export going by the part
lake and part rail route. The East
ern lines, with one exception, refused
to participate in the rate, and two COM
mittees were appointed with a view
to a solution. One reported in favor
Of maintaining the rate and of placing
flour on the same basis as wheat, while
the other made a contrary report.

MESSAGE ITO GENERAL WOOD,
Rathbone to Be Given Another Chance
to Prove His Innocence.

Rathbone to Be Given Another Chance
to Prove His Innocence.
Washington, May 14.-The method
by which the president proposes that
Rathbone shall be given another
chance to prove his innocence is fully
developed in a message sent by Sec
rotary Root to General Wood. It
should be explained2 that there is not
now, under Cuban law, any means of
taking an appeal to a supreme court
in cases where there has been an err
ror in procedure in the lower court.
Appeals can be taken only where there
have been errors of law. To make it
possible to review Rathbone's case,
therefore; General Wood has been or
dered to promulgate a special modi-
fication of existing law, which, by the
way, will also-ft the cases of any 9th
err persons held under arrest unde con-
ditions similar to those of Rathbone.
BY promulgating this law now, and
before the Cubans assume their own
administration, General Wood will
cause it to become the law of the land,
under that section of the Plat amend
ment which continues in force the
laws as they are left by the American
military administration.

RUINS CEASE SMOKING.
Access to the Destroyed Town of St.
Pierre Now Easier,

Fort de France, Island of Martin
lque, May 14.-As a result of the meas
ures taken by the authorities, access
to St. Pierre is now easier. The ruins
OF the town have ceased smoking.
Two thousand corpses have been found
in a carbonized condition. It is
learned that the rain of fire ceased at
a distance of 200 yards from the vii
lage Of LIE Arbet.
Talk with survivors of the disaster
confirms previous statements as to the
awful suddenness of the catastrophe.
1t is thought that an enormous guam
tlty OF gas was liberated, producing
great atmospheric pressure which
overwhelmed everything before it..
The gases absorbed by the bodies Of
the victims caused them to burst, and
the fire, coming afterwards, carbonized
them. This was followed by rain of
stones which enveloped the town, but
there was not, as has been said, any
flow of incandescent lava. -'.y.

FARMERS USE DYNAMlT e,
Dam at Outlet Of Otter Tail Lake Is
Completely DESTROYED.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, May 14.-The
dam at the outlet of Otter Tail lake
was blown up during the night. A
party of rs farmers congregated with
axes, saws and dynamite at 1870 "a.
m. and did thorough piece of work.
The dam was put in by a company
of Fergus Falls men several years ago
to make the lake a storage reservoir
and give additional power to the dams
here during the low water stages in
summer. The farmers have always
objected, as they maintained it flooded
their lands, and they have used dyna-
mite on one or two previous occasions,
but never succeeded in destroying it.
Several of those engaged in the work
were recognized and prosecutions are
likely to follow.

him with larceny of bank funds to the

but fail to do so in the books of the
bank.
