YOUNG AMERICAN IN PERIL
Captured with Band of FiIibusters in
Nicaragua and Is Likely
to BE Executed.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The State de-
partment has taken active steps to save
the life OF DR.. Russell Wilson, a young
Ohio physician. who is held under arrest
at Bluefields by the Nicaragua military
authorities.
Wilson was a member OF a ilibustering
party which made landing near Monkey
Point about four miles from Bluehelds.
Most of the party were captured owing to
the inability Of the commander of the ex-
pedition to land reinforcements on account
of heavy weather, and among the number
was Wilson.
The Nicaraguan general was about to ex-
ecute him summarily, but was induced by
the pleas of some of the English-speaking
people of Bluefelds to allow the law to
follow it's course. This meant trial by
court-martial and II is the understanding
that death sentence was almost inevitable.
Wilson lives at Milan, o.. and Senator
Hanna has interested himself in his case.
Today Acting Secretary Hill telegraphed to
the United State consul at San Juan del
Norte to make an immediate investigation
and report the facts at once, not only to
the department. but also to Senator Hanna.
In addition the consul was directed to
use his Offices with the Nicaraguan author
tiles in favor of young Wilson, as Senator
Hanna has represented that he was not a
combatant. but was attached to the revolu-
tionary expedition in a rnedical capacity.
The department, however. has not been
informed oficially Of the facts connected
with Wilson's capture and in this case is
acting entirely on Senator Hanna's rep
resentattons.

AFTER HENDERSON'S SCALP
National Federation of MilIers VIII
Attempt to Defeat Iowa Man
for Congress.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 22.-H. S. Kennedy,
secretary of the National Federation Of
Millers, tonight announced that the milling
interests Of the country are in league to
procure the defeat Of Speaker Henderson In
his race for reelection TO congress. The
announcement was made prior to Mr.. Ken
nedy's departure for Des Moines. to attend
a meeting at which measures and means to
encompass Speaker Henderson's political
downfall will be discussed.
The resentment OF the millers arises from
Speaker Henderson's action in holding up
the London dock clause amendment to
the Harter bill, designed to do away with
what American exporters regard as unjust
discrimination against United States -four
in the unloading charges at London. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kennedy, Representative
Loren Fletcher had practically secured as
surances Of the passage of the amendment
and the millers Of the country felt GER
tain that their wishes would be carried out
when Speaker Henderson suddenly inter
posed his interference and held up the
measure.
Mr.. Kennedy explains that no funds will
be solicited outside Of Iowa to prosecute
the campaign against the speaker.

WOULD INCREASE TARIFF
Committee of Reichstag Makes Addl-
tions Despite Vigorous
Opposition.

BERLIN, July 22.-During the last sit
-tings Of the customs tariff committee of the
Reichstag numerous increases upon the
schedule proposed by the government were
adopted, despite the vigorous opposition Of
the Prussian representatives. Furniture,
wood pulp, paving stones, brick and cellulose
all had the tarff raised. Count Won Posa-
dowskl- Wehner, imperial secretary Of state
for the interior, protesting, said:
Through such increased duties our COM
mercial armor may become heavy for JUS to
hRht In IL successfully. The tariH hiil,
framed after long discussion in the federal
council, already constitutes a compromise
which should not be imperilled In order to
crafty private wishes and local interests.
The Lokal Anzeiger quotes Count Won
Posadowski- -Wehner as telling the tariff
committee today: 'I can say to you, gen.
tlemen. that my belief is our tariff bill will
never pass"
Count Posadowski made use Of the above
expression as a climax to his speech against
the proposed increases in the tariff. His
declaration has made a tremendous sensa-
tion in political circles, and the ministry,
probably through a desire to modify the
naked statement Of Count Posadowski. pub
fishes a weaker statement Of his words.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 22-President
Mitchell will leave for Chicago tomorrow
afternoon. He will stay in that city day
and will then go direct to, Wilkesbarre TO
resume active management of the strike.
The national officers attach a great deal
OF Importance to the resolution reported
by tho committee appointed by the con-
vention to draw up an expression in regard
to the recent mine horrors in which so
many of the men lost their lives. In this
resolution attention is called tc the fact
that in several instances the men have
been sent back to work in mines before
the dead bodies of their friends had been
removed.
Miners from the Johnstown district,
where the worst horror occurred, have de-
clared emphatically that the men had been
sent back to work there without making
an effort to remove all the bodies first
This afternoon several large contribu-
tions for the strike fund were received.
District No. 13 Qowa) sent IS 900; the
Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders' Ma
tional union, $546; local union Of mine
workers of Glen Carbon, ILL.,. $500; local
union OF Jackson Hill, Ind, 5000; district
No. 3, Danville, ILL.,. 800: local union at
Vandercook, ILL.,, $50 and other unions
smaller sums.
Mr.. Mitchell says the national officers of
the organization are considering the ques-
tion OF accepting the offer of the British
trades union, through their federation, OF
financial aid in the strike.
Indianapolis unions met tonight and re-
solved to assess members at least / per
cent per week on their earnings for the
anthracite strikers. This will amount to

CANADIAN HAS NEW IDEA
Way TO Best Morgan t. 20 Operate
Lines between Halifax
and England.

LONDON, July 2z.-The House of Com
mons committee appointed to inquire into
the question Of steamship subsidies was In
session this morning and examined Senator
@. A. Drummond OF Montreal.
Mr.. Drummond said he had arrived at tn
conclusion from recent developments Of
American shipping combines that the land
lines practically controlled the situation and
that the ocean lines were merely adjuncts.
At nrst sight 1t would appear that the pur-
chase of a number OF old British steamers
by the American combination could be
remedied by building new boats But he be-
lieved that IL this was done by a new or
ganization It could be made improbable by
the Americans, who. by means Of true bills
OF lading from the producing eenters, could
control freights as well as a considerable
portion Of passenger traffc.
He believed the only hope OF escape from
the combination lay through Canada. He
advocated a speedy, up-to-date service Of
twenty-two-knot steamers between Great
Britain and Halifax, instead Of New York.
Such line ought to be subsidized at from
SS5O,OO0 to S400, 900 for ten years, half pay
able by Great Britain and half by Canada.
Thereafter, he believed. the line, II judi
ciously maintained. would be salf-support-
ing. II would be advantageous TO both coun-
tries TO cement the trade between Canada
and Great Britain.
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
told the committee that he did not favor
fostering trade by means Of bounties. He
objected to subsidies, but attached the
greatest Importance to Great Britain own
ing a mercantile marine containing vessels
Of great speed and favored postal subven-
tions for the encouragement thereof.
Lord Beresford suggested that the gov
ernment might build twenty-four knot
liners and allow the companies to work
them. the government sharing in the
profits.
The conference Of the colonial premiers
today also discussed steamship subsidies
from the double standpoint Of the econom-
ical carriage OF goods and combating the
subsidies policy Of the foreign govern
ments. Nothing Of a definite character,
however was accomplished.

LATIMER MYSTERY DEEpENs
Testimony at Coroner's Inquest serves
only 10 Make New York Murder
More Complicated.

NEW YORK, July 22.--The coroner's in
quest called to investigate the shooting Of
Albert G. Latimer at his home in Brook
lyn on the morning OF July was re-
sumed today. Latimer died in a hospital
All he told Of the shooting was that he was
shot in bed, and that he did not believe
It was done by burglar.
Frank Taylor testified that he had heard
shots on the morning Of July and that
someone cried out, Waiter. Walter"
Mrs. Belle Treadwel1 testified that a long
time ago Mrs. Latimer said It was hard
to be tied to a man and see some one else
you really loved" Mrs. Treadwell thought
the remark was made without any refer
ence to Mrs. Latimer herself
William H. Tuthill was called. He said
he read hat Latimer, when in the hospital,
asked II he (TuthilD was being watched.
He denied that meeting between him and
Mrs. Latimer in Twenty-third street, New
York, told Of by Latimer's sister, was pre-
arranged. The matter was explained to
Latimer and they continued friends. On the
night OF the shooting he went to the Clar-
endon hotel, called on q young woman
friend, whose name he would give II re-
quired but then he went home. arriving
there at 11:15.
Later a patrol wagon was sent for him
by Mrs. Latimer and he went to her home
and did what he could for her. He said
he could not account for Latimer's question:
rs Tuthill being watched?" II was true,
he said. that he stayed at the Latimer
house two nights after the shooting, but
he did so because none OF Latimer's s
brothers was able to remain there.
Hannah Larsen. a servant in the Tuthil
home, corroborated Tuthill's statement. that
he arrived at his home at Ills. The wit
ness said she could not describe TuthilPs
clothes.
Elias Kasendorf, who lived near the Lat
liners. said he heard loud voices from Lat
liners house FIVE minutes before the
shooting. He could see the back yard Of
the house where the shooting took place,
and he was sure no one escaped that way.
Mrs. Albert G. Latimer, the woman, was
recalled aud asked to describe the man she
said shot her husband. She said the in
truder wore a mask that she could not
see his face, therefore she did not know
the color of his eyes. nor whether he had
mustache. He was of medium height. He
wore the peaked cap found in the house
after the shooting. The hearing went over
until tomorrow.
Latimer's will was fled today 1t disposed
Of property worth $4,000. with the will
was codicil written on a prescription
blank while Latimer lay on his deathbed
In st. Mary's hospital. This codicil, which
is incoherent, reads as follows:
Codici: 1 desire all OF my among my
children only. A. G. LATIMER.
The original will gave the widow one
tenth of the property absolutely and the
income Of one-third additional for life, the
remainder of the estate to go to the chill
dren.

he did not keep his word and proceeded In
the direction Of Tripoli De Mores death

idea OF the chivalrous character OF the
Touregs. whereas they were treaeherous and
