WlNSTED. Conn, May III
Edwin Dauchy is perhaps the best
spanked man in America today. From
early yesterday morning until late in
the afternoon six stalwart men
took turns at him. Three OF the
men were in state of collapse from
their arduous labors. Their arms are
sore. but their soreness is tritling COM
pared with that of the subject OF their
attentions The spanking was witness
ed by a large crowd as 1t was public
Mr. Dauchy Is SO years old, and OF
herculean build. He has made three
trips to the Klondike in search of
gold. Dauchy attempted suicide by
swallowing an ounce of 1audanum at
the home of a friend here yesterday
morning when Deputy Sheriff w. f,
Coe served divorce papers upon him.
Physicians were hastily summoned
and a battle which teemed with laugh
able incidents was begun to save the
mans life. For eight hours half a
dozen men took turns at pounding
Dauchy with boards and wet towels to
keep him awake. A large unmber of
persons gathered to witness the work.

AS Dauchy was recovering from the

o'clock in the afternoon it required

CUBAN RELIEF
Reciprocity Will Come Easy
Next Winter, Says Payne,
of New York.

From The Journal Bureau, 1soo's SO, Posi-

good bye to the president said Repre-
sentative Payne of New York, the floor
leader of the house, this morning, land to
tell him. added Mr.. Payne significantly,
that Cuban reciprocity would pass in the
next congress by a nearly, unanimous
vote in both houses. I base this predic-
ton not only on: such action as that of
the Minnesota convention, but on the
whole tide of sentiment. When these
men who have been opposing Cuban reel
procity get home and go among the people
they will find opinion all one way and
they will yield to it. The presidents pro-
gram will have an easy victory next win
ter, OF course, the question will come up
in a treaty, and it will have to be passed
on by the house. I do not believe a
treaty making an appropriation would be
valid without the concurrent action OF the
house, much less a treaty affecting the
revenues"

n. Y. SAILORS
ON I0NKA ICE
Eastern, Ice Yachtmen In
vited to Join the Mime
tonka Club.
An Ice-Breaker Steamer Has
Spoiled the Hudson
for Them.

Many Of the most prominent Hudson
river ice yachtsmen will move their ooats
to Lake Minnetonka, and become mem
bers of the Minnetonka club, If the plans
of Theodore Wetmore, of the latter or
ganization are carried into effect
Ice yachting on the Hudson river is now
practically thing of the past. The New
York Central, on account of the damage
done to its tracks by the formation Of
Ice gorges. last winter, will run steel
steamers between New York and Albany
all next winter, breaking the Ice and
keeping the river open all through the
cold weather. There are half dozen ice
yacht clubs in New York and it's suburbs,
and the members of these organizations
will now be without an opportunity to
enjoy their favorite sport.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Wet
more believes that these sportsmen can
be induced to become members of the
latter organization. It spoils a day and
night for New Yorker to go ice yacht
ing on the Hudson, and only two days and
a night would be- needed to make the
journey to Lake Minnetonka. The east
ern yachtsmen are all wealthy men, to
whom the expense of a trip west would
be nothing, and weeks trip would en-
able them to enjoy more sport than they
get on the Hudson, perhaps in months
After talking the idea over with mem
bers of the Minnetonka club, Mr.. Wet
more has written to Irving Grinnell, one
of the most prominent ice yaclttsmen of
New York, and in fact, the man who has
placed ice yachting in America upon the
plane which 1t now occupies. Mr.. Grin
nell is asked to communicate with repre-
sentative men in the New York clubs, and
extend to them an invitation to become
members of the tMinnetonka club.
| 1t is believed that If these men can be
persuaded to join the local organization,
it will mean much. not only for the sport
of ice yachting at Lake Minnetonka, but
also for the city in business way If a
score of such prominent business men as
the New York ice yachtsmen can be
brought to Minnesota for three or four
weeks every winter it will naturally lead
to their transacting business and invest
ing more or less money in Minneapolis.

MORE BINDING
Carbuilders, Blacksmiths and
Helpers Likely to Join
u, P. Strikers.

Omaha, Neb., July 3.-The strike of the
Pacific road took on more serious proper
tions to-day, when the carbuilders and
blacksmiths and their helpers, numbering
1926 men, declared themselves opposed to
the piecework system which is being
adopted in the railroad shops.
A week ago it was announced that the
carbuilders had settled their differences
with the railroad company, but they de-
clare the settlement did not mention
piecework.
II the company insists on enforcing its
announced intention of COD tinuing the
new system, it is very probable the car
builders and blacksmiths and their help
ers will join the strikers.
