Money Laid Out on Lower Mississippi
Since 1879.

Washington, July 28--The Mississippi
river commission, having in charge the
work of Improvement of the river from
TIE mouth of the Ohio to the head of
the passes, has submitted its annual
report to the chief of engineers Since
the organizat ton of the comm ission in
1879 until the present time the total
amount appropriated for that portion
of the Mississippi under the commits
sion has been $43, ,572, ,693. Owing to the
failure of any appropriations since 1900
work has been restricted to repairs
In connection with the survey of the
river, the report says.
"Releveling parts of the line along
the lower river has shown discrepan-
cies which indicate geological dis
turbance along the shore of the Gulf of
Mexico. The interesting question thus
raised makes it highly important that
the line below the older formations on
the river bank. which give relative as
sltrance of the stability of the earth's
surface, should be rerun at proper in
tervals.'

did not give them the money he carried
The conductor surrendered the contents
of his pockets, amounting to $12 or $14.
While one of the highwaymen was re-

and compelled the moterman, whom he
found at the east end, to return to the
rear of the car. No money was obtain

A good deal of discussion is going on
among railroad men as to whether it
pays to go to the expense of putting in
such a system when telegra phic facili-

way system in the west that has so ex-
tensive telephone system. The Penn

similar system.
The system is expected to be of prac-
tical service in case of wrecks, well
as in keeping the various railroad points

n" TRAINS COLLIDE.
Six Cars Derailed, and Two
Persons Fatally Hurt.

New York, July 2S.-A head-on col
lision occurred today between two trains
of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad on
Adams street which resulted in the de-
railment of six cars, the wrecking of
two and the injury of a number of per-
sons, at least two of them fatally.
The collision is thought to have been
caused by a misplaced switch. A train
bound to New York from Bath Beach
was turning the curve at the junction
when it was met by a train from the
bridge station and the crash occurred.
Godfrey Moore and Henry Moore of
New York were pinioned beneath the
wreckage and probably fatally hurt.
1t was nearly ali hour before they were
released Thirteen others were bruised
more less seriously.
Charles Shattuck, motorman of the
Bath Beach train, was arrested John
Sullivan, the motorman of the other
train, has disappeared.

HAS HEART TROUBLE.
Joe Chamherlain's Condition is
Causing Anxiety to Friends.

New York, July 2s.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's condition is again giving
serious concern to his friends and grave
rumors are current, says World dispatch
from London. 1t is said, according to
the correspondent, that since Mr.. Cham
berlain was hurt in cab accident on July
Z, he has had recurring attacks of irreg-
ular heart action. The cardiac troubles
are so serious that he has been examined
by three eminent specialists in heart af-
fections and after consultation they
forbade him to resume work in the house
of commons last Thursday as he had pro-
posed to do. 1t is possible that specialists
feared the effect of the exciting scene
which would be certain to take place
upon his temperance in parliament.
Mr.. Chamberlain's secretary has pub
lished the statement that the colonial
secretary is recovering more slowly than
was expected"
AS the colonial office appropriations are
to be discussed in the house of commons
on Tuesday it is a matter of extreme in
terest whether or not he will be there to
take part in the discussion.
While heretofore the reports concerning
his health have been encouraging, it is
certain that his appearance is greatly

WILSON IS SAVED
Death Sentence COMMITTED Out
of Courtesy to United States.

Washington, July 2S.-The life of DR..
Russell Wilson of Ohio who was captured
with a revolutionist party in Nicaragua,
has been saved through the representa-
tions of Minister Corea of that country.
A cabegram was received at the state de-
partment today from Chester Donaldson,
United States consul at Managua, Nicar-
aqua, dated the 26th inst. as follows:
LAS a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother the presi-
dent will commute Russell Wilson's death
sentence"
Wilson was one of several Americans
who joined filibustering expedition
which landed at Monkey Point. near
Bluefelds, early in July. Most of the
party were captured or killed. Wilson
would have been summarily executed
but for the interpOSitiOn of Senior Corea,
the Nicaraguan minister here. Having
secured stay of proceedings and a
guarantee of legal trial, the minister
has now induced President Zelaya to
commute the death sentence, imposed
upon Wilson by court martial. Before
the receipt of this message it was not
been held. 1t is presumed that the COM
mutation is to Imprisonment for time,
and then expulsion from Nicaragua
Kingston, Jamaica, July 2S.-The
British cruiser Psyche arrived here to-
day. Her officers report that on July Z,
when the force of Nicaraguan revolu-
tionists landed near Bluefields by the
Colombian gunboat General Pinzon had
been completed the Pinzon steamed
away. The Nicaraguan forts fired at
the Pinzon but without success. The
commander of the Psyche landed and
insisted that the captured rSbels be CIV
en- a fair and impartial trial instead of
being shot without trial. 1t was believ-
ed that among those captured at that
time was DR.. Wilson, an American, but
the officials of the Psyche could not def
initely ascertain regarding his presence.
He had not been tried up to the time
the Psyche left last week. Telegraph
lines are broken and news is difficult to
get. According to officers of the Psyche

London, July 28.-Rudyard Kipling is
about to leave Nottingham, near Brigh-

live in a more secluded house in Tun-

sincere and unaffected. He has suffered
greatly from the attention of unknown
admirers. who made the pilgrimage to
rockingham in increasing numbers.
His new country house is surrounded
by extensive grounds inside high brick
wall, affording complete protection. from
the worlds gaze. Mr.. Kipling declines
more invitations probably than any
man in England, spurning the proffered
patronage of society with undisguised
contempt.
