GERMANS ARE DRIVEN OFF.
Panther Shells Venezuelan Fort, but
Is Forced to Retire.

Panther Shells Venezuelan Fort, but
Is Forced to Retire.
The German cruiser Panther shelled
Fort San Carlos, at the entrance to Lake
Maracaibo, Venezuela, Saturday. The
fort replied with four guns and the bonn
bardment continued for one hour, after
which the Panther retired in the direction
of Curacao The fort suffered little dam-
age and only three men in the garrison
were wounded. 1t is asserted that the
Panther was badly damaged. Fort San
Carlos is twenty-five miles from Mara
caibo and commands the entrance to the
lake or inner bay.
The attack upon the fort was without
any provocation on the part of the de-
tenders The cruiser appeared Off the
fort shortly after noon. 1t soon became
apparent that she was bent upon forcing
the passage to the harbor, and prepara-
tons were at once begun to defend the
position. These preparations had no
sooner been completed when there was
puff of smoke from the Panther's port
battery, and shell came crashing over
the fort The fort replied instantly, ard
for over three-quarters of an hour ter
rifle bombardment was maintained. The
shells from the Panther mostly passed
over the redoubt, although several struck,
but did little damage.
1t was believed in the fort that many
shots struck the vessel, and she appear
ed to be badly used up. On account OF
the heavy smoke which obscured the
scene it was impossible to tell the exact
effect of the forts fire, but the Venezue-
lans believe that several of the Ger
mans must have been killed.
When it became known in Maracaibo
that a German warship had engaged the
fort and had been driven off the excite
nent was intense. There were popular
demonstrations of joy upon the streets,
and until late in the night crowds pa
raded the thoroughfares celebrating the
victory. In Caracas all the war fever OF
few weeks ago broke out afresh. Bands
paraded the streets playing the national
air. Congratulatory speeches were made
on the street corners, and the city gave
itself M to celcbrat ton.

AMERICA AMONG THE NATIONS
Commercially. the United States Has
an Unparalleled Situation.

an Unparalleled SITUATION
Uncle Sam has better business stand
than any of his competitors. By far the
greater part of the worlds population Is
to live around the Pacific ocean. 1t Is TO
be the Mediterranean-the midland sea
of the future At present England has
a commercial advantage in the PACING,
but the cutting of the isth1nian canal
will transfer that advantage to the Unit
ed States. If a British ship should sail
from Liverpool for Cape Horn, and an
American ship should sail from New
York for the same point, the latter would
have to sail $50 miles farther than the
former to reach the cape; and that means
that every port on the western coast OF
South America, Mexico and North Amer
lea. Mexico and North America IS, by
water, nearer to Liverpool than to Ne"
York. By sea San Francisco is to-day
40 miles farther from New York than
from Liverpool.
Suppose that the two ships sail from
New York and Liverpool for the Suez
canal. The latter ship would have an
advantage of 1000 miles over the former,
which means that all Asiatic and Indian
ports are, by the Suez canal, 2.oOO nnieS
nearer to Liverpool than to New York
Put when the isthmian canal SHAH De
ont New York will have an advantage OF
about 1000 miles on the average to the
ports of north China. from 800 to 2,'Oo
miles to the principal ports OF the cen,
trail and western Pacific, and from 2,'oo
TO $500 miles to the ports of the eastern
Pacific. That is commercially speaklnS'
the Pacific is now British ocean. Dy

BELATeD STEAMSHIP ARRIVES.
Owners of Disabled Atlantic Liner ST.
Louis Are Denounced.


The steamship st. Louis, over six days
late, arrived at its dock at New DIRK
Saturday morning crowded with angry,
mutinous and indignant passengers, doz-
ems of them declaring their intention OF
suing the international Steamship Com
pany for sending out the vessel in Grip
pied condition. The hundreds of pas
sengers in the first and second cabins
held meetings of protest while the dis
abled steamer, with boilers leaking. was
crawling along from Cherbourg toward
New York, fighting heavy seas, and de-
nounced the company and the Ship OFF,
GERS, declarding the company had know
ingly placed their lives in jeopardy by
sending out the vessel when they knew
it to be in dangerous condition.
At one time the passengers demanded
of the captain that he transfer them
TO some passing liner but, although two
liners were sighted. the passengers were
not transferred They also demanded
tof be put ashore at Halifax. but the cap
tain declined and brought them on to
New York. There was no accident OF
any kind at any time, and although heavy
weather was encountered practically all
of the delay. it is said, was caused by
inability to get UP steam in the defec-
tive boilers.

COAL MEN HARD HIT.
MANY INDICTED BY GRAND JURY
IN CHICAGO.
True Bills Returned Against Forty
Four Combines, Corporations and
Northumberland of lille galiy In
juring Public Trade in the West.

Fortyfour persons and corporations
were indicted by the Cook County Qll)
grand jury in Chicago Monday in con-
nection with the recent coal famine and
the extortionate prices of coal. They in
clude some of the best known corpora
tons in Illinois and Indiana, and many
prominent dealers. All the corporations
and individuals indicted are Included as
co-defendants in three separate indict-
ments. One indictment is drawn under
the law against conspiracies in restraint
of trade. The other two are under the
Illinois antitrust law. In the former are
included the members of the Illinois Re-
tail Coal Dealers Association. The in
dictments under the antitrust law enl-
brace the Indiana coal men. One of the
indictments is directed wholly against
corporations or organizations by them
selves. The specific charge is ''Conspir
acy to do an illegal act injurious to pub
lie trade"
The indictments were accompanied by
report setting forth in detail the find
ings of the grand jury in regard to the
coal situation. The indictments were
turned over to the sheriff at once and
capiases were issued for the arrest of the
offenders.
The court room was crowded when the
Jurors came before Judge McEwen to
make their report. The silence was in
tense until the result was made known
and then there was a scurry to spread the
Information. Many of the persons indict-
ed We're represented among the specta-
tors, and these agents could not get out
of the building quickly enough.
The railroads escaped without Il hurt
the report of the jury even going so far
as to absolutely vindicate them from any
blame.
Judge Praises the Jury.
Judge McEwen declared that the pros
ecutions and the work of the jury were
bound to become historic in Illinois.
1.-THE session of this body of grand
jurors" he said, "has formed a historical
episode in criminal prosecution. You
have performed your duties thoroughly,
and l believe your report will clear up
q situation, which had become intolera-
Bile, and will open the public mind to
what is being done. You have not hest
tated to say what was and what was
not a criminal conspiracy, and the high
est encomium l can place upon your
work is that you have done nothing ma
liciously nor hastily, but with the great
est deliberation and good judgment You
will now have the consciousness of duty
we'll done and can rest in the belief that
you have earned the gratitude Of the
community"

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus p. Parrish of keWanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.

Rufus p. Parrish Of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with a man
who was recently followed to the
grave at kewanee, H., by one Of the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
eve attended a funeral In a town of
like size.
The name of this man was Rufus p.
Parrish and it is admitted hat a let
was chiefly instrumental in the action
of congress in establishing a day on
which throughout the nation graves OF
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem-
Grated.
1t is a matter of history that the
custom Of decorating graves OF SOL
diers was commenced in kewanee in
1868, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action OF congress ap
pointing a memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance, wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan, urging him to take in
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside a day on which
all could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
IRISH took in such patriotic movements
he had a very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried a fint-lock musket in the revolu-
tionary war, and the father of his faith
er was a recruiting officer in the war
Of 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. G. A. in the
United States. During the war Of the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada.
He was in the forefront Of nearly ev-
cry movement of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born In New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He Is
survived by his faithful wife, with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the un-
usual term Of sixty-four years.

DRAMATIC RACE FOR LIFE.
GaIloping Through a Tunnel In Front
Of a Fast Railway Train.

GaIloping Through a Tunnel in Front
of a Fast Railway Train.
A very dramatic incident took
place recently during a run Of the
Carmarthenshire hounds, when the
master had a very narrow escape
from death, says the London Tattler.
The fox, hard pressed by the hounds,
entered a railway tunnel, and before
they could be stopped the whole pack
dashed in after him. Mr.. Harries,
the master, realized their danger and
without a moments hesitation gal
loped into the tunnel to try and whip
them off. He had got some little dis
lance into the tunnel when suddenly
he heard the dread roar of an ap-
preaching train, which was thunder
ing along at terrific speed. The head
lights of the engine glared at him.
1t now became a veritable race for
life. Mr.. Harries clapped the spurs
to his horse. On and on they rode at
breakneck speed through the black
tunnel, with the train laundering be-
hind in the hot pursuit and gradu-
ally diminishing the distance between
them. Luckily the engine driver
caught a view of the flying horse and
it's rider against the sky line at the
mouth of the tunnel and he slacken-
ed speed. Mr.. Harries and his horse
were saved. The fox and hounds also
escaped unhurt.
