Waves, Driven by Storm, Break Up
Ice in Saginaw Bay.
Chicago, Feb. Tt is feared that
forty fishermen went to their death in
the storm which struck Saginaw Cay
Tuesday night, says dispatch from
Bay City, Mich. The men were living
in shanties built on the ice. The
storm burst without warning. 1t was
accompanied by a binding swirl of
snow and the waves crushed the ice in
the bay upon which the fishermen's
huts were standing into a grinding,
crushing mass. Nothing has been
seen of men or shanties since. 1t is
known that two were drowned and lit
tie hope is expressed for the others.
James L. Fisk, a fish buyer who
spent the night in his station, came to
the city last night and said that prior
to the storm he could see plainly a
dozen shanties and men moving about
them, but in the morning there was
no sign of human life on the bay. Two
men who were in 'shanty not far from
his place were lost during the night,
cakes of ice having smashed their
shanties to pieces. He says the other
fishermen could hardly have escaped,
as they were still further out and
nearer the scene of the first breaking
up of the ice.

Plans Made to Star the Ex-Bandit in
Play.
Chicago, Feb. 6.-The release of Cole
Younger, the famous bandit who was
pardoned at St. Paul yesterday after
serving twenty-five years in prison, ur-
der conditions which prevent him
from exhibiting himself, last night dis
closed the plans of theatrical syndi-
cate composed of Chicago and New
York business men, who were influen-
tial in securing Younger's release. The
consent of the prisoner had been Sc.
cured to star in melodrama to be
called "The Younger Brothers, Bank
Robbers" and when it became reason
ably certain that Younger would be
pardoned, more than $4,000, according
to members of the syndicate, was ex-
pended to make the scheme success.
BY the terms of the pardon Younger
cannot appear before the public in any
capacity. Those who invested money
in the enterprise say they will suffer
total loss unless the decision of the
pardon board can be reversed.

BEARS NO MALICE AGAINST
ANY ONE.

St. Paul, Feb. 6.-Thomas Coleman
Younger, the last of the Younger broth
ers, sentenced to the Minnesota state
prison for life twenty-five years ago
for their participation in the raid on
the Mortified bank, in which several
men were killed, is a free man.
Younger was granted a conditional
pardon yesterday by the state pardon
board, which met in the office of the
governor at the capitol.
Under the terms of this pardon
Younger will be forced to return at
once to his former home in Missouri
and never again return Voluntarily to
the State of Minnesota. A further con-
dition of. the pardon is that he must
not allow himself to be exhibited in a
museum or circus.
The corridors of the capitol were
well filled with members of the legis-
lature and others, and the news that
the former bandit had been granted a
pardon spread with great rapidity.
In the building were large number
of men who have become intimately
acquainted with Younger since his re-
lease from the state prison, and while
they were glad that pardon had been
granted, they expressed sorrow that
conditions had been attached to the
document.
Younger has made many friends
here,' said one of these men, land it
seems too bad to bar him from return
ing to this state to visit with the men
who have stood by him in his trouble. -
None of the members of the pardon
board would discuss the pardon fur
Their than to say that they believed
they had acted for the best.
WHAT Younger Said.
"Well, I, +, am glad" That was
all Younger could say when he heard
the news. He was overwhelmed with
the joy and surprise of long-deferred
freedom.
II am so happy" he said. II can
hardly say anything"
He did not know of the conditions
of his pardon when he heard the news.
Later he was told of them, but they
did not seem to affect MIN,

lions are against my coming. But,
nevertheless, I will always remember

Ed Donahue, of 513 East Eighth

"Moon Blind" Said the Stranger"
Flagman Durham, Of the Dudley sta.

Camden annex district, had just left
the flag house to flag an approaching
train, early one morning recently,
when he saw a man sitting on the
track, apparently asleep. He hustled
the stranger from the track just as the
train passed. The man refused to give
his name. He was perfectly sober,
and said to the Waterman:
"I> didn't know where was sitting.
I'm a stranger here. When I visited
the town last night I was attacked
with moon blind and couldn't see.

ROW FOR POWERS.

Macedonian Question Threatens tc
overshadow Venezuelan Affair.
New York, Feb. 7-While the Ven
ezuela affair still has precedence as
the leading foreign question, says the
London correspondent of the Tribune,
there is a general feeling in Fleet
street that it will speedily be overshad-
owed by the Macedonian question. A
formidable instruction against the
turks is expected in the early spring
by nearly an writer's who are following
the course of events in the Balkans.
Predictions of similar nature have
been made year after year, but never
with equal confidence since the pri-
mary stages of the last war between
Russia and the porte. The Turkish
government clearly expects trouole,
and the Russian and Austrian govern
ments also dread movement from
Bulgaria, which they cannot control
since they cannot agree upon a joint
policy.
Sensational Rumors.
London, Feb. There has been nc
report On the Balkan situation since
the publication Jan. 20 of the French
yellow book detailing the Franco-Rus-
sian efforts during the past year to in
duce Turkey to institute Macedonian
reforms, which have gloomy account
of the situation in Macedonia. In vi
emma it is stated that the powers have
not yet presented Count Lamsdorff's
reform proposals to Turkey.
Numerous unconfirmed sensational
rumors are current with regard to the
extended rising in Macedonia in the
spring, and some serious Austrian and
Russian papers assume that the ques-
ton soon must be forced to solution.
Count Welsersheim, the Austrian min
lister of national defense, however, in
addressing the committee on Austrian
military bill, reiterated that the situa-
ton was peaceful, and that no ground
existed for a mobilization of the army
or any extraordinary measure.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Senator Nor
gan yesterday introduced a resolution
declaring the Panama canal treaty, if
ratified, shall not be held to alter,

last summer authorizing the construc-

would supersede any provision of a
law enacted previously with which it
was in conflict, Mr.. Morgan does not
want the stipulation in the canal law
that the control of the canal zone by
the United States be perpetual to be
displaced by the joint control for peri
DDS of one hundred years, as the treaty
provides.
