Opportunities
in The South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment i'll
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are gradu-
ally advancing, as they will for
years to come. Work is plenti-
full and noverty practically un-
known. Alabama is. supplying
coal and iron to all the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor in the raising of
small fruits and berries and III
truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state in
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
cts before those from the states
in the southeast. Cattle can be
raised with great profit, there
being millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If your are inter-

BRITISH BOAT IS A
DISAPPOINT MENT.
-Ccontinued from Page -

The larger excursion boats also kept
well astern so that they did not at any
time affect the wind.
Ely o'clock the wind had subsidized al
most completely. leaving the boats
Tapping about in the long ocean roll.
They twisted and turned in desperate
effort to get into a favorable slant OF
wind during which head sails were fire.
quently shifted. In shore and farther
up the coast toward Sandy Hook fine
northwest breeze prevailed but it work
ed off shore very gradually. 1t was
rather singular to see an old coaster
come dashing out of New York harbor
and hugging the shore, run down the
coast at a lively gait until she had
passed both yachts. The SKY under
the influence of the new breeze began
to clear and the muggy dog day which
prevailed early in the day disappeared
completely.
Despite the Northwestern which at 2:15
o'clock was working slowly out in the
direction of the yachts, a number of
boats in the excursion fleet began TO
turn back toward New York. evidently
believing that the yachts, which were
then about two miles from the outer
mark would not be able to cover the
remaining II miles before 4:30. when the
time limit of the race would expire.
The large excursion boats, however, re-
manned and the clearing weather gave
all on board an excellent opportunity of
seeing every movement of the yachts
Two miles aheaQ could be seen the Dig
tug coastwise displaying u large ball,
and not far off thesSStin cone on the
turning mark flashed in the sun But
it was hard work for the Yachts to
cover these.
But it was hard work for the yachts
to cover these last two miles to the
mark, for the sea had become rough,
causing the boats to pound about con-
siderably. Reliance held to her original
course on the starboard tack, while
Shamrock again went about. She was
almost becalmed.
At o'clock as it became more and
more evident that the race could not be
sailed within the five and half hours
prescribed by the rules, the excursion
boats began to drop off and turn home
ward. The Reliance lost her favorable
shift of wind and 1t, too, was hanging
in the doldrums. The breeze was blow
ing we'll enough as far south as Sea
Bright and was estimated at from to
8 knots but it had apparently not Force
enough to be of value further south.

Detective While Asleep is Shackled
by His Prisoner.

Cheyenne. wyo-. Aug. 20.-Albert Eek
lund, alias George Johnson, who was cap
tured at Rawlins and was being taken
back to Chicago to answer to the charge
of grand larceny, effected a remarkable
escape from Detective William Marsden.
Marsden left Rawlins with Ecklund and
to make sure of his man, shacl1led him to
a seat in the smoking apartment of a
chair car. While Marsden was sleeping
beside his prisoner Ecklund went through
the detectives pocket, secured the keys 20
the shackles. released himself and then
shackled the officer to the steam pipes
Having relieved the officer of his weapons
and other property. Eczlund left the train
at Laramie. Marsden was not awakened
by the conductor until Cheyenne was
reached. when he called for assistance.
AS Marsden had absolutely nothing on
his person to prove that he was not
prisoner the train men would not release
him The railroad authorities telegraphed
to Chicago for instructions and when the
train reached Sidney. Marsden was hnally
released from his predicament-
Last night he passed through cheyenne
en- route to Laramie to try TO erect the
recapture of his prisoner.

CHANCE FOR CANAL.
Panama Company Counsel Still
Has Hopes.

New York, Aug. GOWN. Nelson
Cromwell, general counsel of the Pana-
ma canal company has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
I have just received from my repre-
sentative al Bogota a cablegram dated
14th inst. reporting that the Colombian
senate on the evening of the 18TH ap-
pointed a committee of three senators
to come to an agreement with the house
of representatives for the purpose OF
preparing a bill authorizing the govern
ment of Colombia to make treaty IN a
form approved in advance by both
houses of congress.
This confirms the statement which L
made on Monday concerning the sup
posed rejection of the treaty, namely,
that the action was not final in the dis
position of the treaty.
4 have also received further cabieS
stating that the report of the commit
tee of the Colombian senate was signed
by seven out of nine members OF the COM
mittee and recommended the approval
of the treaty with certain amendments
which further confirms my Judgment
that the action of the 18th inst was
only against the treaty in the form SUD-
mitted and did not at all indicate the
termination of the treaty negotiations
As Colombia is bound to the United
States by what l consider an interna-
tional compact (by which it is obli-
gated to the making of a satisfactory
treaty. as well as by it's own supreme
interest 1 have never doubted that Co
lombia would fulfill its high duties in
that regard and every reasonable ex-
pectation of this government. This ac-
ton of the Colombian congress there
fore justifieS my expectations.

Pittsburg. Aug. O.-Known only to

the streets of P1ttsburg yesterday after
banking hours. The money comprised
the contents of the vaults of the Trades

location to the new Farmers bank
building. The treasure was made up OF
specie, securities and the contents OF
the safe-d deposit vaults. 1t was all
placed in huge sacks In some instances
two men were required to lift a sack.
Two trips were made and in both in
stances the wagons were filled A score
of city and private detectives were about
the neighborhood to see that nothing
happened to the treasure.

100 MILES AN HOUR.
Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Will Put on
Flyer.

Chicago, Aug. 20-One hundred miles
an hour is the speed which the Aurora,
Elgin & Chicago electric railroad com
pany expects to make this fall in a test
run to be made with a specially geared
car. The trial run is to be made at the
request of the General Electric COM
pany, which will supply the motor car
for the occasion. The result of the test
is counted upon to demonstrate. as
never before, the possibilities of electric
railroad traffic
Since the Aurora, Elgln & Chicago
line has been in operation its running
schedule has attracted the widest a.
tention among electricians and railroad
men generally. Scarcely a day passes
that the regular trains fail to attain
speed of sixty miles an hour Many
times the car have been run at a speed
of seventy miles an hour yet this high
rate of locomotion has been scarcely
noticeable to the patrons of the road
because of the nearly perfect equip
ment of the line.
The speed test to be conducted this
fall is expected to esta blish a new
worlds record for a railroad in prac-
teal operation To achieve the speed
of 100 miles an hour a car equipped with
a special gear viii have to be manu-
factured. The construction of this car
Is now under way and will be complet-
ed at an early date. In appearance the
car VIII be no different from the cars
now running over the line.

NEEDS OF ALASKA
Occupy the Time of Transmits
sissippi Commercial Congress.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. ZO.-Interest in
today's session of the Transmississip pi
Commercial congress centered in the i'm
pending oratorical battle on the subject
of the executive needs of Alaska.
The most contested point in the dis
cussion is expected to be that of a pro-
posed territorial form of government for
the district. The Alaskan delegation, 1S
strong, held meeting yesterday to con-
slider the matter of introducing a resolu-
ton favoring the admission of the dis
trict a territory and after some brief
discussion adopted a resolution favoring
that measure by vote of II to l, Gov
ernor Brady alone voting in the mega
tive.
The friends of the resolution look for
an easy victory in the convention.
The consideration of additional resolu-
tions will take W large measure of
the time of the remaining sessions of
the congress.
