THREE EXPLOSIONS OCCUR ON
AN AUSTRIAN VESSEL IN
TURKISH WATERS.
TWENTY-NINE MEET DEATH
DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP SAID
TO BE THE WORK OF THE
REvoLUTIoNIsTs.

Constantinople, Sept. 3.-Three *
plosions Wednesday on the Austrian
steamer vaskapu soon after it left the
Bulgarian port of Burgas, en- route for
Constantinople, killed t%wenty-nine per-
sons. The vessel caught fire and had
to be beached.
A telegram conveying this news was
received by the agent of the Hungarian
Levant line to which the Vaskapu be.
longs. The telegram said the Vaska-
pu had been destroyed in the Black
sea. The captain and officers of the
steamer and six Of the crew were
killed. The Vaskapu sailed from
tVarna, Bulgaria, and after calling at
Burgas, was steaming through the
Black sea to Constantinople when
three explosions took place on board.
The deck of the vessel took fire and
she had to be ashore at Misivria
bay, eighteen miles north of Burgas.
The Vaskapu belonged to the Hun
garian Levant Steamship company of
Fiume, Austria, and has been engaged
in the Black Sea service. She was
built in Newcastle in 1891 and was a
steamer Of 1876 tons.
The destruction Of the Vaskapu is
said to be a revolutionary outrage. /
is said that the bomb was timed to
burst while the steamer was in the
port Of Constantinople, but owing to
the vessel being twenty hours late in
starting from Varna, the explosion oc-
Cured off Misivria bay.
Among the missing and supposed to
have been blown overheard is Herr
Lendvay, belonging to the head Office
of the steamship company.

ARGUMENTS HANDED IN.
American and British Counsel File
Documents in Boundary Case.

London, Sept. 3.-The arguments OF
the United States and Great Britain,
based on the cases and counter-cases
in the Alaskan boundary arbitration
already filed, were submitted during
the day by counsel of the two govern
ments to the Alaskan boundary com
missioners.
One OF the Canadian counsel said
after reading the American brief that
it vas a strong document but he
thought Great Britain had a fighting
chance.
1t is expected that the next meeting
of the commissioners will be brief and
merely for the purpose of organization
and fixing a date for hearing the oral
arguments, though it is possible that
application relative to matters con-
nected with the general Alaskan ques-
ton may he made at the meeting,
which will be private. 1t will then
be determined if the subsequent meet
ings shall be public or private.
Ambassador Choate gave a dinner
in the evening to Chief Justice Alver-
stone and the boundary commission
ers.
Chief Justice Alevrstone will be
chosen chairman Of the commission
which will assemble in the cabinet
room of the foreign Office. An ad-
journment for a fortnight will then be
taken to allow counsel to prepare their
oral arguments.
There is a disposition on the part
of all the commissioners to hasten the
conclusion Of the case and it is now
believed that the award will be render
ed by the middle of October.

wherever more dollars were needed
and would as promptly retire when not
needed.

TO ESTABLISH COMPETITION.
Object Of the Packing Company Or
ganized by Stockmen.

ganized by Stockmen.
Kansas City, Sept. 3.-The Western
cattlemen who purpose to build a
packinghouse of their own held a
meeting Wednesday and agreed on
articles of incorporation for their pack
ing company. The articles will be
filed in Arizona, because, the lawyers
say, they can get better privileges
there than elsewhere.
There is to be a sort of voting trust
organized to handle a controlling por-
ton of the stock. The intention is to
have 81 per cent placed in the hands
Of trustees. Trustees certificates will
be issued instead of stock certificates.
The cattlemen say they a raise the
money to buy the stock among them
selves, although it will be put on the
market.
G. F. Martin, secretary o fthe Ma
tional Livestock association, says the
purpose of the company is not SO much
to fight the packing houses now in ex-
istence as to establish competition and
to make the packers pay a reasonable
price for cattle.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR

fore the court.
He had already admitted having talk
en- the money intrusted to him by the
charitable organization and appropri-
ating it TO his own use.
His fiawless past was much in his
favor.
The court was sorely puzzled.
Witness after witness testified to the
mans previous trustworthiness.
No information of his having gam.
bled or otherwise d~issipated could be
obtained.
At last the judge turned to the cow
ering, crestfallen creature and said in
a studiedly stern tone:
"Have you any statement to make %
II have" replied the prisoner in a
firm voice. II was custodian of the
money that l used. used that money
for my own private purposes, but I did
not know 1t was ~embezzling. There
was a brand new baby at my house,
and knowing that the coin 1 had at my
disposal was admittedly a fresh he'll

When the judge saw the point he
wept silently.
Then he dismissed the charge Of EN-
bezzlement.
But he gave the prisoner twenty days
in Jail for contempt.
He couldn't stand for the pun.-Bal-

BATTLE OF AFFIDAVITS
HarrIman's Statement In Southern Pacific
=. Fiql1t Is Presented.

An affidavit by E. H. Hartman was
presented yesterday in the Talbot J. Tay
lor suit against the Southern Pacific and
the Union Pacific at Nashville. This was
followed by an affidavit by Edward Lau-
terbach, representing the Keene interests.
Judge Humphrey followed with argu-
nent for the Hartman interests. Judges
Wilson and Barton Of the state circuit
court sat with Judge H. H. Lurton of the
federal court. In the Hartman affidavit
1t is set forth that a common friend Of
himself and Edward Lauterbach told him,
Hartman, that James D. Keene repre-
sented a pool holding 100000 or IT'S, 900
shares of Southern Pacific, and that Keene
himself held about 10000 shares; that they
contemplated action which, says the affi-
davit would make a great deal of
trouble unless we purchased said shares
from them: that he would sell the pool
shares at about 70 and his own shares at
about 7S.'
Hartman declares he replied that he
would not be forced by fear into anything
that would be adverse to the interests Of
the general body of the stockholders Of
the Southern Pacific.
Otto H. Kuhn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., q
director of the Southern Pacific, says in
a sworn statement that Edward Lauter-
bach told him there were only two ways
to avoid hostile proceedings, either to buy
the holdings Of the keene pool at the price
of about 20, or to start the payment Of
dividends on the stock at a rate of not
less than per cent per annum.
Other affidavits by J. Kruttschnitt,
fourth vice president and general man
ager ]. c. Stubbs, third vice president,
and other officials are presented to show
that the Southern Pacific is operated in
the interests Of it's stockholders and not
for the benefit Of the Union Pacific.
