section, and it is rumored that Mr..
Walker and ]. J. HILL president OF the
Great Northern railroad, are working to-
getherto the end that railroad which
will eventually develop into transcon-
tfnentalline will tap the timber lands pur-
chased by Mr.. walker A survey for a
transcontinental road through this section
was made In 1893. H. ... T.
For several years Mr.. Walker has spent
much of his time in California looking over
the timber situation. His first purchase was
made about four years ago, when he in
vested heavily in lands bearing fine stand
OF sugar pine. Since that time he has added
steadily to his land holdings there, though it
was supposed that he was buying solely with
view to cutting. the timber. 1t is known
that he has had a new railroad under con-
sideration for several months, but Mime
sofa friends have not credited Mr.. Walker
with planning anything more than a logging
road. It. is true, however, that the logging
road frequently takes in settlers and devel-
ops the country SO that when the logs are
gone, the territory is speopled with producers.

Cincinnati, Aug. 13.-The convention Of
the International Typographical Union to-
day was addressed by Harry ]. Schefing-
ton, label agent of the United Boot and
Shoe Workers Consideration was con-
tinued on the elaborate report OF the COM
Eaittee on laws. The committee was sus-
tanned in most Of its adverse reports on
the propositions for changes. The COM
mittee recommended that all unions put
forth every effort to abolish the inter-
change Of matter previously used in type
or matrices, and the convention changed
It, so as to read: tThe practice Is unlaw-
full and shall not be permitted"
This proposition was recommended after
long discussion with instructions for the
law committee to construct such law as
would prevent the exchange Of local mat
ter but not interfere with syndicate mat
ter. .-- -,
All attempts to change from the refer
endum system In the election Of officers
were defeated.

crawled to within few feet of the SEN
tinels and then .sprang upon them sud

relief of the sentinels but they were too
late and the Moros escaped, although pos

The attacking Moros were all from Bac-

suit in a move against that town which

that terrible battle started on Sunday,

reach the center of the city. At mid
night on Thursday two-thirds of the city
was in the power of the revolutionists.
On Friday the government strongholds
were carried, and the last survivors of

LIKED FRIED POTATOES
But the Vendor Lost Her Customer r
by Recognizing Him. a.:,


by Recognizing Him.
Brooklyn Eagle. r
Like Haroun AL Raschid, Of Arabian
Nights fame, many of the notable per-
sons in Europe like to go about in mufti
One Of the causes is desire to see what
is going on, but that is rather antiquated
in these matter -of-fact days. The main
reason, it is believed, for this apparent
erratic conduct Is to crafty some taste
that might seem to smack of the common
crowd a taste innocent in itself, but not
to be displayed before ones aristocratic
associates. Whether this might be said
of the liking for fried potatoes INDUCED In
by the Grand Duke Alexis Of Russia or
not, this is, at any rate. a story told of his
recent visit to the city of Paris: H..
Every day the grand duke slipped away
from his companions and went to street
stall where an old woman served him
with crisp fried potat oes. She hadn't the
| slightest notion who he was, but, one day
because he paid her ten times the price
she asked, she determined to find out who
her patron was. She inquired persistently
and, finally, one of the neighbors said
''He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle Of the
czar. and one of the greatest men in Rus
sia.''
Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In
heavens name, how should adress him ~
ooh, call him Your Excellency.' or
Your Royal Highness,' was the answer.
The woman resolved to do so, and the
next day, as s,,e was sprinkling some salt
over the smoking potatoes which-=the
grand duke had bought, she said: ..I can
recommend them to your royal highness,
for know your excellency has never
| tasted better potatoes. s
The grand duke burst out laughing, and
paid more for the pot otatoes than he had
ever paid before. but he was annoyed at
finding himself recognized and never re-
turned to buy another potato. sdT.s

tween the crown prince of Germany and
Miss Gladys Deacon, says that the Ouch
,ess of Marlborough is in entire sympathy
with Miss Deacon in her dreams of be-
coming an empress. The duchess, the
the paper says, argues that she married
a duke and why, then, should not her
protege marry a prince of the empire.
The Matin says that the Duke of Marl-
borough was at first ironical, but after.
ward fell in with the dreams of Miss Dea-s
con and the duchess, but Emperor Will
liam, viewing the affair in different
light, sent message to Miss Deacon de-
manding the return of the ring given to
her by the crown prince and saying that
the ring was not the property of the
crown prince. but was a gift OF the Em-
press Frederick to the German nation.
Miss Deacon, backed by the Duchess OF
Marlborough, Indignantly refused to part
with the precious love token. Messenger
succeeded messenger, each of higher
rank and each more diplomatic and
charming in his manner than the pre-
ceding one, until the girl, in At of anger
and wounded love, threw the ring In the

Castro Likely to Make His
Escape on His Own

An American Warship Now
at Barcelona-The
.'-.
Cable Cut.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Over night the
navy department received word that the
Cincinnati had sailed yesterday from
i2asrto Cabello for Barcelona under the
instructions cabled yesterday to Com
mander Mclean directing either the Gin
cinnati or Topeka to proceed Immediately
to that point. Commander Mclean, who
is the senior officer present, evidently de-
cided to go himself and leave the Topeka
to protect American interests at Puerto
Cabello.
1t is probable that the Cincinnati al
ready has arrived at Barcelona, but that
fact may not be known officially here for
several days, as Minister Bowen cabled
the state department from Caracas to-day
that the cable from Caracas to Barcelona
again had been cut by the -revolutionists.
On Monday he reported that this cable had
been cut but presumably it. had been re-
paired in the interim and his last dis
patch indicated that the connection again
has been lost. -
Neither the state nor the navy depart
ment has received confirmation Of the
press dispatches from Port of Spain, which
were conveyed there from Barcelona by
DooI, VI LuS SAISuI u LuS uSuL1uS
Barcelona and of the report that the
American, Italian and Dutch consulates
had been pillaged. The officials of the
navy department are confident that Com
mander Mclean with the Cincinnati will
be able to take care of American interests
there.
Owing to the general disturbed condi-
tion of affairs all along the line of the
Venezuelan coast and the appeals of Min
lister Bowen for warships, the i.question
whether our naval force in those waters is
sufficient to take care Of the existing situ>
alton and to meet future contingencies
has been canvassed. For the present it
has been decided that it is unnecessary
| to send an additional vessel.
We now have three ships at the three
| critical points, the Cincinnati at Barce-
| Iona, the Topeka at Puerto Cabello, where
| the Germans have landed force, and the
| Marietta at the mouth of the Orinoco,
which was declared blockaded by the Cas-
| tro government. :.~- :"
| The question of affording an asylum to
| President Castro aboard an American war
ship in case he should be obliged to fee
Hfrom the country and should have no other
means of escape, has not been seriously
considered by the state department, as It
is not believed that his condition at pres
Lent is desperate enough to make such a
move imperative. Besides, 1T is reported
| through the press dispatches that he has
| a vessel at La Guaira upon which he can
| embark for France if the necessity should
| arise.

row YORK. su,, s0eosa, ssrxnc.

Boston, Aug. 13.-The announcement
from Paris that Miss Gladys Deacon,
daughter of the late Edward Parker Dea-
con, is the object of affection of the crown
prince of Germany, who wants to give up
the throne for her, thereby causing a row
between him. and his father, Emperor
William, does NOT cause great surprise
among those who knew her and her par
ents when they resided in Boston. Miss
Gladys was educated in France and has
lived there most Of her life. She is
beauty and has been much In the company
of royalty, having been taken about by
the Duchess of Marlborough. Once when
she was stopping at Blenheim the crown
prince of Germany was a visitor, and the
affection which 1t is said the prince now
has for her may have begun there. Since
the death of DR.. Deacon at the Mclean
asylum a little more than year ago,
Mrs Deacon has had little to do with
Boston, and the friends Of the family
know little Of the love affair between
Gladys and the prince.
