OHIO BOYS LIFE SAVED.
President of Nicaragua commutes
Sentence of Russell Wilson.

Washington, July 29.-United States
Consul Donaldson, at Managua, Mica
ragua, cables the state department
under Saturdays date, as follows:
las a courtesy to the United States
end sympathy for mother, the presi.
dent will commute Russell Wilson's
death sentence"
Russell Wilson is the young Amer.
lean doctor who accompanied a party
Of fliburterers in an expedition
against Nicaragua and was captured
and sentenced to death. Senator
Hanna interested himself in the case
OF the young man and urged the state
department to take prompt action in
lis behalf. Mrs. Wilson, the mother
OF the young man, also worked hard
IN his behalf, and is understood to be
Gu her way to Nicaragua to intercede
for him.
Consul Donaldsons dispatch shows
that young Wilson had actually been
sentenced to death. He would prob.
ably have been executed by this time
had it not been for the prompt inter.
vention of the United States. 1t is
not known at the state department
whether Dr.. Wilson will be sentenced
TO Imprisonment, but his life having
been saved, efforts will now be made
to secure his release on the ground
that he accompanied the filibustering
expedition merely as a surgeon. If
he will pledge himself not to engage
in any further attempts of the kind
against Nicaragua, it is believed Pres
ident Eelaya will finally pardon the
young man and allow him 10 return
to the United States.

Dizziness.

New York, July 29.-The specula-
ton flattened out to a marked degree
in yesterdays stock market, and the
latter part of the day offered degree
of activity scarcely above the usual
midsummer dullness. Before noon
there was an enormous amount of re-
S.ising accomplished, which was cred
lied to the western operators who
have long been conspicuous in the
market. Unless it is considered that
the resources of the money market
threaten to become CONSTRUCTED, there
was no obvious cause for the weak

that the unexpected proportions OF
the gold engagements for today's

careful calculation as to the sufi-

CANNOT BREED SWANS.
All Efforts at the New York Zoo HAVE
ResuIted In Fail


All efforts to breed swans at the 200
have failed. Frequently the females
have deposited eggs in their nests, but
it takes a long time to hatch swan S
egg, and there are so many people and
so much excitement to distract the
birds attention that the maternal in
stinct has not proven sufficiently
strong.

of this the other day, drew compari-
son between English and American
people which was not flattering to the
latter, says the Philadelphia Record.
ain England" he said, "the people in
general, even the small boys, seem to
feel great interest in the lower order
of animals. In America 1t is just the
reverse. Here the spirit of destruction
seems dominant. Take, for instance,
a swans nest. Instead of being nur-
tured and watched and carefully guard
ed against harm, as would be the case
in England, it would be the target for
mischievous and destructive persons.
1t seems to be characteristic of the
American people"

Delirious From Starvation.
A TERRIBLE TALE Of SUFFERING.
Full Particulars Of Horrors of the
Samar Expedition Not Yet OBJ
tainable Owing to Lead
er's PrOstratiOu.

MANILA, Jan. 29.-General Chaffee
curtailed his trip and has returned
here. He says he found the conditions
apparently satisfactory everywhere ex-
cept at Samar, where continuous rain
during the past two months has re-
tarded the campaign, especially against
such an elusive enemy.
The condition of Captain David ID.
Porters marines who took part In the
expedition into the interior of Samar
is much worse than previously describ-
ed They suffered fearful hardships
and were without food for several
days. The natives who accompanied
the marines claimed they were unable
to distinguish the edible roots, which
the marines did not believe. The anger
of the marines against the natives is
intense. None of the latter returned
with the marines.
The marines suffered so acutely from
starvation that they ate the raw flesh
Of two dogs
When Captain Porter and the first
three of his men staggered into camp
they were delirious, and difficulty was
experienced in ascertaining the where
abouts of their companions.
Williams of the First infantry headed
the relief expedition in the face of a
torrential rainstorm which flooded the
rivers. He succeeded in reaching the
remaining ten men, who would other
wise have certainly perished. He found
them all delirious. Two of the men
were discovered in the branches of
trees barking like dogs. Some of the
marines are so i'll that they are not
likely to recover.
General Chaffee has endeavored to
obtain full details of the trip of the
marines, but Captain Porter is not yet
nble to lucidly explain matters.
The expedition into the interior of Sa-
mar led by Captain David ID. Porter of
the marine corps numbered thirty-siX
men. 1t had been absent two weeks.
The marines had been provided with
rations for only five days. On Jan. 2l
Captain Porter and twentysix mem
bers of his party reached the coast of
the island of Samar. The other ten
men were missing, and little hope OF
their safety was entertained.

The balloting continued in this way

CaptiYeH Not RelenHcd.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The state
department has received dispatch
from the United States representatives
in Turkey regarding the case Of Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the American mission
airy held captive by brigands, and her
companion, Nine. Tsilka. Its contents
were disappointing, the captives not
having been released, as was hoped
would be the case from the manner in
which the negotiations looking to that
end had been progressing lately. Off
cials are averse to discussing the case
freely, but it is understood the hesita-
ton of the brigands in bringing the
matter to a prompt conclusion is due
to their distrust of the attitude assum-
ed by the Turkish authorities. The
ransom money demanded has not yet
been paid

TAX MEASURES DISCUSSED.
Krum Bill Severely Amended by New
York Senate Committee.

York Senate Committee.
ALBANY, n. Y. Jan. 29.-For sew
eral hours yesterday afternoon the
senate committee on taxation and re-
trenchment deliberated on the two
principal tax measures now pending
in the legislature, the Krum bill tax
ing foreign corporations and the
Stranahan mortgage tax bill. The
Krum bill was amended in so many
important particulars that little re-
mains of the original measure.
The foreign corporation tax bill is
amended so that domestic and foreign
corporations, with the exception Of
transportation and transmission COM
panies, are placed on the same footing.
The organization tax for domestic cor
porations is reduced from one-twen-
tieth of l per cent to one-fiftieth Of !
per cent.
The license fee for foreign corpora
tions, which answers to the domestic
corporations organization tax, is re-
duced from one-eighth to One-fiftieth
of 1 per cent.
The dividend tax on all corporations,
excepting transportation and trans
mission companies. is wiped out en-
tirely. In it's place is a direct tax on
the capital stock of one-tenth of l per
cent on the first three millions, one
twentieth of 1 per cent on the next
two millions, up to and including five
millions, and $50 per million for the
balance.
"In other words" said Senator Krum
in explaining the amendments that
had been made, 1.-The provisions are
substantially those in the New Jersey
law, and / think they are exactly the
same provisions"
