DELEHANTY DROWNED.

Corpse Found I'm Niagara River Eden-
Tilted as Fhut Of the Famous BaIi
Player.
Buffalo, Y. Y, July 1O.-The body
found in the river below the fails
yesterday was identified as that Of
Ed Delehanty, the famous outtielder
of the Washington American league
team.
The body was mangled. One leg
was torn off, presumably by the pro-
pellor of the Maid of the Mist, near
whose landing the body was found.
NJ. A. Green, a stocllholder in the
Washington team, identified the body
by the teeth, two crippled fingers
and the clothing. The body will be
shipped to Washington.
Frank Delehanty, of the Syracuse
team, and T.. J. Mcclure, a brother-
in-law, from Cleveland, are here in
vestigating the death of the player.
They do not believe that Delehanty
committed suicide, or that he had
been on a spree in Detroit. In the
sleeper on the Michigan Central train
on the way down from Detroit Dele
hanty had five drinks of whisky, says
Conductor Cole, and he became so OBJ
streperous that he had TO be put oE
the train at Bridgeburg, at the Cana
dian end of the bridge. Cole says
DeIehanty had an open razor and was
terrifying others in the sleeper.
After the train had disappeared
across the bridge Delehanty started
to walk across, which is against the
rules. The night Waterman attempt-
ed to stop him, but Delehanty pushed
the man to one side. The draw of the
bridge had been opened for a boat
and the player plunged into the
Niagara river.
Delehanty's relatives hint at foul
play, but there is nothing in the case,
apparently, to bear out such a the

Next sitting.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1O.-The
board of Cancellation held an import
ant meeting at Glen Summit yestcr-
day and reached an agreement us to
n number Of grievances submitted
from the Seventh district. The de-
cisions will not be made public until
after both sides have been notified.
\ few of the grievances which in
volve questions of fact could not be
settled by the conciliation board and
both sides will be heard on the dis
puted points at the next meeting,
which will be held at Pottsville,
July 24.
Chairman w. L. Connell presided.
The other members present were
Secretary T. d. Nichols, Il. c. Luther,
S. d. Warriner, John Fahey and Will
lam Dettrey.
The first business was the consid-
ering of the answer of the coal COM
panes to the list of grievances of the
miners submitted by Mr.. Dettrey at
the last meeting held in this city.
Mr.. Dettrcy then handed over a list
covering grievances at nearly every
colliery in the HaZleton and Lehigh
region. These grievances in a gen
eral way covered alleged discrimina-
ton, refusal of some companies to
permit of a check docking boss. ne
glect to pay the advance on the new
sliding scale, hours of labor, etc. The
answers of the operators to these
were received and considered by the
board in detail. Some OF the ques-
tions concerned the Interpretation of
the coal commissions award. and an
agreement was reached Dy the con-
ciliatorS on those questions.
The obstacles encountered by the
conciliators were in regard to ques-
tions of fact where operator and
miner disagreed, and these questions
could not be decided until both sides
are heard. II was therefore decided
to have hearing of both sides to the
disputes at the next meeting in Potts
vile.
John Fahey. representing the min
ers from the Schuylllill region, then
presented to the board a list of 80
grievances. covering all the complaints
of employees in collieries in that re-
gion. These grievances are about
the same as those from the HaZleton
and Lehigh region, with the addition
of the trouble about the nine-hour
work day on Saturday and the ques-
ton of payment of the 10 per cent.
advance decreed by the commission
on gross earnings of the miners.
The miners claim they should be
paid on the gross earnings ard al
lege that the plan of the companies
to pay on the net earnings lowers the
percentage.
This list of grievances is TO be in
the hands of the secretary before the
Pottsville meeting. After some
further routine business the meeting
adjourned.
1t is understood that harmony and
good feeling prevailed during the ses-

WYOMING WANTS HANNA.
senator Warren Says the People of
That state Would Nominate
Roosevelt by AccIamation.

Senator Hanna should serve as
chairman of the national republican
committee and manage the campaign
for Roosevelt, who will be nominated
by acclamation," said Senator Warren,
of Wyoming. Il hope he will serve in
this capacity and so do the people of
my state. The republicans of Wyoming
are all for Roosevelt. They also believe
the relations between the president and
Senator Hanna are as pleasant, whether
they are as intimate or not, as were the
relations between President Mckinley
and the Ohio senator.
Our people believe that Mr.. Roose-
veit is a broad man and one in whose
care the interests of the country, of
all kinds, are perfectly safe. They are
interested in having capital come to
our state and wish to do nothing that
in any way could make capital timid in
seeking investment.
I'VE believe that while protecting la
Dor President Roosevelt is also a thor
ough friend of capital in whatever form
it may be found, and that he will pro-
tect it under the laws of the land and
encourage it's use and increase.
In the Rocky mountain region" con-
tinued Senator Warren, I'VE do not con-
slider it worthy of making an issue of any
plan for the revision of the tariff. II
may be there are cases in which the
tariff is not just what we should like
to see it, but we believe about it as did
Tom Reed when he said 1t is not
what you want; it is what you can get
in comparison with what you have got
When we get into a tariff revision it
is not what we want that we will get.
at the present time we think we
are better off without any revision The
country generally is prosperous and the
people are doing well. A revision of the
tariff will bring with 1t uncertainty,
which would result in untold loss from
the stoppage of business. Our Rocky
mountain country has few items of the
tariff I'm which we are interested direct
ly, but we are looking to the general
effect Of the tariff rather than to our
interest I'm specific terms
I'VE are for the tariff Just as we are
for a good navy. II is a national issue
with us. There are perhaps but three
or four items of the tariff that we are
directly interested In"

What Turkey has already sold to
the world in breadstuffs is as nothing
compared with what she can produce
when her enormous agricultural re-
sources have been developed. OF all
agricultural states, Turkey is perhaps
the only one which may be able some
day to compete successfully with AM
erica in England and on the continent
Of Europe in this respect. Especially
is this the case in the production Of
cotton, which is such an important fac
tor in the textile industries of Ger

One of the scenes depicts the Chicago

by party of grain Spectators.
During the action of the play, the
leading actor suddenly cries: "Oc-
tober wheat at 70" "Who'll buy ?
One of the spectators in the box
had become so interested in the play
that he shouted in good old "Bulp'
