The supreme court rendered IL de-

There has not been much change in
the situation since the supreme court

become flooded with outside agents to

because of the fact that il is still with

PART OF PIRATE LOOT.
Coronation Gift from Jamaica Disap
pears in New York.


New York, July "a bell weighing
about 200 pounds and bearing the in
scription, Prince of Wales, 1140.
which was found by two fishermen near
Kingston, Jamaica. five weeks ago, was
stolen during the other night from the
hold of the two-masted English schoon-
er Attractor, Captain w. Scott, lying at
the Norris street dock in Jersey City.
The after hatch was found open, and it
is thought that the bell, which Was in
two sections, was hoSted to the deck by
two or more men while the skipper and
his crew were asleep.
Captain Scott says that the Jamaica
government officials asked to bring the
bell to New York for reshipment to En-
gland as a coronation gift from the
government to King Edward VII.
Captain SCOTS story of its finding is
that two natives, who We're fishing in
about eight feet of water on reef, saw
something shining on the bottom ana
began diving for it. After several days
work divers recovered 100000 in gold.
principally Mexican coins bearing dates
between 100 and 1885. There was also
many English, French and Spanish
coins of the same period. The find is
said to have been part of the loot of a
wrecked pirate ship.

The Chicago Great Western is build

before the road is completed and pos

THE REGATTA CALLED OFF.
Iowa oarsmen Will Not Meet at Clear
Lake July % and %.

Lake July u ana 20.
Special to Times-Republican.
Dubuque, July 9.-The regatta of the
Iowa State Amateur Rowing Associa-
ton, which was To have been held at
Clear Lake July % and %, has been
called off. and altho there is Il slight
chance that the event will be held later
in the summer it is believed by the
oarsmen in the city that there will be
no boat races this summer under the
auspices of the state association.
For years Dubuque and Sioux City
have been the standbys of the annual
regatta, as they always had two or
ore crews entered. This year the SEMI
ors are rowing, but the other club
members have not been so enthusiasts
tic. A letter was received from Com
modore Currier by President j. r.
Lindsay of the state association In
which he says that owing to lack of
interest the Sioux City clubs will not
have crews entered. AS Council Bluffs
and Ottumwa are not training, it
means that there will not be enough
crews entered for the regatta and that
none can be held.
An effort will be made to hold the re-
gatta during August.
