dian-American frontier. Col Towns

statement the Express says: I'm the
event of war between Great Britain ard

easily march over the frontier and seize
Canada before anything could be done to
resist them" The statement is made
that there are one cartridge and she'll fac
tory in Canada and little ammunition in

MYSTERY IN DOUBLE ATTACK.
Montana Couple Seriously Injured
Man Lives, Head Half Severed.

Ira PRESLEY and his wife, whose home
ranch is near Superior, are at Parsons
hospital in Missoula, Mont, both lear
death and unable to tell who wounded
them. Pressley's throat is cut from ear
to ear, and the woman is unconscious
from a blow on the head that caused con-
fusion of the skull. The man says he was
in bed when his throat was cut, but says
he does not know who did the cutting.
How PRESLEY has continued to live is
wonder. His windpipe is completely sew
cred and esOphagus cut through clear to
the back and the head is almost half
severed BY pressing the chin down to-
ward the chest in such a manner rs to
bring the severed windpipe together, the
man can speak in barely audible voice,
and in this manner was able to answer
few questions. He denies having any
trouble with his wife.

SOLDIERS SHOOT AND WRECK.
Another Outbreak by Troops at the
Presidio Reservation.

There has been more rioting at the east
erly outskirts of the Preside reservation,
San Francisco, Cal. A band of soldiers
gathered opposite Anderson's saloon and
began throwing stones in the direction CT
Anderson's place and the police were
summoned. The soldiers then assailed
the police with sticks and stones. Some
shots were fired by the soldiers, who then
rushed across the street and proceeded
to wreck Anderson's place. They set fire
to it, but the flames were eXtinguishcd by
the fire department. The soldiers then
directed their attention to the saloon of
Adolph Rehfeld and partly demolished
it, while other houses in the vicinity were
also more or less damaged. The rioters
were finally quelled and patrol from the
reservation forced them to retreat to the
reservation. SO far as can be learned no
one was seriously hurt and only enc
slightly injured a policeman being struck
with beer bottle.

ENORMOUS DEMAND FOR STEEL
European Manufacturers Now Selling
1t to Americans.

European manufacturers Now Se11ing &
1t to Americans.
Chicago is importing steel and iron
from Scotland and continental Europe,
and the importers say the product is laid
down more quickly than the domestic
manufacturers can fill the orders.
Within the last week 10000 tons of Eu-
ropean steel billets have been received
in Chicago, and the custom house reports
show importations of structural steel and
iron. Several Chicago construction con-
Germs admit they recently have placed
large orders with European mills for
structural steel and iron, and this mate
rial is expected to arrive within the 1ext
two months.
In view of the demand from America
for their products, foreign manufacture
ers Of structural iron have changed the
character Of their product to meet the re-
quirements of American construction, and
have issued new price lists to the Amer
lean and Chicago trade. American con-
struction steel and iron is much lighter
than that used abroad, and as a result,
in order to supply the demand. European
mills have reduced the weight of their
output.

SECRET DRIVES TO SUICIDE.
Lieutenant Morris Knew Inner Facts
of Maine Disaster.

Lieut. John A Morris, U. S. N, was
found dead in his stateroom on the Unit
ed States ship Olympia by fellow Off
Ger. He had committed suicide by shoot
ing with revolver. The Olympia is an
chored off the Boston navy yard. He
was the engineering officer of the Olym-
pia. No cause is known for his act. Nor
ris has had a weight of some kind on his
mind ever since the blowing up of the
Maine at Havana. Morris was an cleo
trician on the Maine, with the rank Of
assistant engineer. When he visited
Kansas City after his providential escape
at Havana he was very averse. to talking
about the matter, but his friends gathered
the impression that he knew the cause
of the explosion and that it was not due
to Spanish mines or torpedoes. They
have always believed, from Morris ac-
count, that the explosion was due to de-
fectiye electric wiring on the Maine.

Believing himself out of harmony with
some of the people of his district and of
the State on the question of tariff revls-
ion, David B. Henderson of Iowa, Speak
err of the House of Representatives, has
declined denomination
The tariff plank in the platform adopt
ed by the Republican State convention on
July 80 was the point which had the chief
influence in prompting Mr.. Henderson's
action. He held it a step in the direction
of free trade and declining to follow the
party into ways he could not approve, he
decided to retire.
Formal Letter of Withdrawal.
Mr.. Henderson's withdrawal was an
nounced in the following letter, addressed
to G. e. Albrook, chairman of the Motif
cation committee, at Eldora:
my Dear Sir-I have never answered
the kind notice communicated by you and
your associates, advising me of my nomi-
nation for the eleventh time, by accla-
nation, as the Republican candidate for
Congress for the Third Congressional
District of Iowa. Reported conditions in
the public mind in my district upon pub
lie policies induced me to make this de-
lay. Since my return to the district l
have made a careful study as to the SEN
timent in this district and State, and
believe there is no little sentiment, and

of $3O,OOO,OOO.

of $3O,OOO,OOO.
All the paper manufacturers in Wlscon-
sin, Minnesota and Michigan have been
asked to sell out their plants to glgan-
tic paper mill trust, which, under the
name Of the American Consolidated IA
per Company, is to be capitalized at $780,
100000. The promoters of the deal are
Dewar & Yerkes, brokers, of Chicago,
whose interests in the matter are being
attended to by John Strange of Oshkosh,
formerly manager Of the John Strange
Paper Company of Menasha. The propo-
sition is to have the plants sold outright
at their full cash value, the owners not
to be compelled to purchase stock IN the
trust or to take stock in part payment.
Blank forms of contract have been dis
tributed to each of the mills, providing
that for stipulated consideration the
mill owner agrees to give an option to
Dewar Il Yerkes, agents, or to their as
signs, running till Jan. 1, 1903 for the
purchase of all mill property, including

ernacIe-No Fatalities.
While 1000 persons were struggling to
enter the new Sons of Zion synagogue in
st. Paul to witness the dedicatory exer-
cises the temporary steps leading to the
entrance suddenly gave way and 500 per-
sons fell in a heap. Men and women
screamed and fought in a panic to get
out of the mess, and it was only by
prompt effort that fatalities were avert
ed. The police platoon which led the
procession to the church broke ranks and
rushed into the crowd, preventing frantic
men, women and children from crushing
one another in the scramble. When quiet
had been restored it was found, except
for a few who were bruised and cut, no
one had been seriously injured.

The Sydney, N. S. W., correspondent
of the London Daily Mail says that res
olutions in favor of the dissolution of the
Australian commonwealth have been laid
on the table of several legislatures. These
resolutions are likely to provoke plain
speaking, but they will not be carried. Sir
William j. Lyme, minister for home af-
fairs of the commonwealth, said in
public speech Sept. 10 that he recognized
the fact that discomfort prevailed. He
admitted that the federation machinery
was weighty and intricate and difficult of
expansion, but he appealed to the Austria
Hans not to give up and urged that CO.
operation would bridge over their difficult
ties.
