MAY KILL CAPTIVES
Admiral Chadwick Advises
 That the Sultan Yield.
FRANCE ORDERS MINISTER. TO AID
Careful Consideration by Washing- ton Cabinet--Attack on Tangier or the Bandit RaiSuli Would Mean
 Death to the Two Captives.

WASHINGTON, June This cable gram has been received at the navy department from Rear Admiral Chad wick, commanding the south Atlantic squadron at Tangier:
 'eThe seizure of the American citizen Perdicaris a.-d the British subject Var ley was committed by the insurgent chief Raisuli so as to bring pressure Dn the sultan of Morocco to secure the demands of his tribe. Our sense of the gravity of the case is shown by the presence of the American squadron and will undoubtedly cause the earlier yielding by the sultan of Morocco to the demands of the chief, which is the only safe means of releasing the cap tives.
 There is the highest authority for the statement that an attack on Tan kier or an expedition against. the brig ands will be followed by the imme- diate murder of the captives.
 At the instance of Secretary Hay no instructions will be sent Rear Admiral Chadwick for the present, but Foreign Minister Delcasse ill consequence of a communication from the state depart ment at Washington transmitted through Ambassador Porter. has tele-- graphed instructions to the French minister at Tangier to use his utmost endeavors to obtain the release of Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley.
 Careful consideration was given by the cabinet to the matter of the cap tivity of Ion Perdicaris and his step son. Cromwell Narley. Secretary Hay presented the latest advices from Con- sul Gummere at Tangier. Members of the cabinet manifested great reticence in talking for publication, but it is known that Secretary Hay presented some matters relating to the case of the utmost importance.
 American officials at Paris are hope ful that French influence with the Mo- roccan government, together with the presence of the American fleet at Tan gier, will secure an adjustment of the affair. Reports through French official channels show that Raisuli's demand for ransom is $70,00O.
 The French authorities are not likely to view favorably the seizure of a port or the landing of marines, being of the opinion that the Monroe doctrine should cut both ways. It is also point ed out that an expedition inland would be wholly impracticable owing to topo- graphical and material considerations.

HAMMOND, The
TRAIN R0BBER, A
GREAT CHARACTER

The Hammond robbery story, which
has been printed in II the news
papers in the United States, does not
lose any of its interest in this locality.
Hammond believes himself to be man
Of great power and more to be admir-
Cd than the president. 1t is said he is
making collection Of all the clippings
he can secure and will compile them
IN an album for the benefit of his
great grand children. He expects to
Get out Of prison in a short, after
wheich, he says, he is going to con-
duct himself in such way that it will
reflect credit upon himself and his
ftllow men. He intends to get married
snd now has his eye ON a pretty
maiden with whom he will carry on
courtship, via the letter route, dur
ing his incarceration in the Montana
penitentiary.
Hammond is shaking hands with HIM
self over the princely way in which
he was treated by the officials of Spo.
kane, and fancies he has patted them
on the back sufficiently to warrant
their assistance in securing for him
. light sentence. Poor Hammond! Tha
plot against him was too deep for him
to comprehend. They succeeded in
weaving about him net from which
he never can extricate himself. He is
wanted for other crimes, among which
the most heinous is the murder ol
Dan ONeil, the Northern Pacific
engineer.
Evidence, mighty and convincing,
is daily being secured against the
young man and his chances for a
long life are nil.
There is no doubt about the young
mans mind becomming weakened
under the pressure OF the officials con
tinual bounding.
At Drummond, Mont, he was well
known and had the reputation of being
"lsdy killer" and much of his time
was consumed in making his personal
appearance attractiev to the opposite
pex. His imagination led him to be-

CHICAGO, Aug l.-Quiet marked
the opening hours of the Twenty-6rst
day of the stock yards strike. Ship
ments of non-union men continued to
arrive at the yards, 400 being distrib-
uted among the plants. The packers
claimed heavy desertions from the
strikers ranks, but wholesale stam-
pede was anticipated this morning and
did not materialize. Receipts this
morning were very heavy, 25,000 cat
tie, $4,000 hogs and 1900 sheep. In
the absence of President Donnelly Of
the Butchers union on trip to the
western packing cities, no immediate
steps looking to settlement are con-
templated. The commissary DEPART
ments established by the strikers Were
thronged this morning by mems fani-
lies. The packers now state that they
will use only 200 of over 800 teamsteis
out on strike when the fight is over,
having made other arrangements for
the delivery of meat.

ION July 81 the Japanese armies

lieve that all women were in love with
him. His acquaintances are surprised
that he should develop into a train
robber.
A resident of Missoula, former
guard in the penitentiary, is positive
that Hammond at one time served
sentence in that institution.
Where is Hammond's partner? II
is rumored that if he is captured he
will be given an opportunity to get
of easy. Supposition leads the author
tiles to believe that he was merely
tool in Hammond's hands. john
Christie's previous record has beer
fairly good as far as can be learned
He was easily lead by Others and il
is said he fell in" very readily where
there was money coming. AT Rossland
he was engaged in posing as subject
for hypnotist. and was put to sleep
for week in one of the store windows
at that place.
He is decribed as looking like an
over-grown boy, thoushhe claims to
be "a years of age. 1t is believed
he is in hiding.
Christie has wife and child and
there is scheme to locate him through
the wife, by tracing letters to and
from them. The wife is not aware
of her husbands participation in the
crime. Her faith in him is 40 great
that should she read the account she
would fail to connect the affair with
her John. Then there is Johns baby
to consider. Surely the baby must
not know of its fathers wrong doing
Baby should be protected from such
a fate. And the faithful wife must
suffer in silence and disgrace.
Do the detectives want Christie
himself, or is, it the reward and the
$1,000 he is supposed to have received
from Hammond?
Was Hammond telling the truth
when he laid the blame of completely
in the robbery on Christie, or did
Christie receive that amount for hnsh
money?
Time will tell.

BID TOO HIGH

At the meeting Of the board Of COM
missioners today the bids for the pav-
ing of Second avenue were opened.
There was but one bid, that Of the
Barber Asphalt company. No action
was taken on the bid for the reason
that 1t was $7o6 in excess of the esti-
mate Of the city engineer. The bid of
the company was $39,032.5S. This is
higher in proportion than the bid for
the Front avenue work, but it is due
to the fact that the street is narrow
er, making the curbing and auxiliary
work higher in proportion. The board
desires to allow the engineer to pass
upon the bid before taking any action.
