CHANGE OF NAMES
Amendment to the Laws Seems to
Be About What Boat Owners
Wanted.
Many TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT
William DrumIuODd. known ms One of
Beat Engineers ON Mississippi,
rs Dead.

The recent alterations in the law
with regard TO changing the names of
steamboats, seems 10 be about what
the bOatmen wanted, judging from the
number of boats that have had their
names changed i'll the past few weeks.
Formerly it was possible to- find men
who could give the history of every
boat on the upper river. but now that
the names are 50 easily changed they
will be hard to find.
Proving strong Job.
The workmen who are raising the
steamer Chattanooga, formerly the
Meggiddo, near Paducah, are having a
nice time of it. When the boat sank
she carried a cargo of cheese and
meat. The weather is intensely hot.
and the cargo, which has been under
water for several weeks. decayed. As
result an almost intolerable stencil
prcvades the vicinity. and the work
men who are engaged in cleaning the
steamer are compelled to leave their
work every hour or two to get a
breath of fresh air. When the boat is
repaired il will be taken TO St. Louis
to run out of that city until the upper
| Tennessee opens in the fall months.
Sarah IL RrmodcIcd.
The Yukon steamer Sarah has been
remodeicd and rciittcd and is one of
the best boats on tho great Alaskan
river. The Sarah is commanded by NJ.
NJ. Looncy. for many years an upper
Mississippi river man. On her hurri-
from the deck of In" Robert T.. Lee
cane deck is the big bell which changed
when she entered the memorable race
with the Natchez. The Sarah is 22j
feet long, and has 4O-fOOt beam.
she is patterned after the modern
Mississippi river boats.
Challenge From Swain.
Percy Swain. the well-known upper
Mississippi steamboat man, is advo-
eating tn" idea of working up n big
steamboat race. to be pulled off out
of St Louis during the progress of the
fair this summer. He writes the Wa
torways journal that he will put his
steamer, the Fred Swain, which boat
he believes to be one of the fastest
ON the western rivers, against any,
thing afloat.
Day of Racing IL Gone.
The reported race of the now steam
er Verne Swain with the Silver Ores
cent on her initial trip has aroused
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-07-11

river men to a discussion of the now
almost defunct custom of steamboat
races. The Swain made an excellent
showing in this race which was one OF
the most spirited in the history of the
upper Mississippi. STEAMBOAT racing. -
said an old river man, lis almost I'M
known nowadays. 1t is too expensive.
To take on full head of steam for a
race would mean an expenditure of
from $25 to $50. For this reason
many steamboat companies like. for in
stance the Diamond Jo on the Missis-
sipi. have absolutely prohibited the
sport"

William Drummond. aged 55 years,
a well Known river engineer formerly
of Dubuque. died last week at Padu-

cred one of the best engineers on the

BRYAN IMPROVES
AFTER AN ILLNESS
Collapsed and Was Threatened With

Saturday Night.

ST Louis, July 11.-Mr. Bryan. who
collapsed after Saturday morning S
speech and was threatened with pncu-
monia. left the jefferson hotel yester-
day and went to the residence of his
cousin DR.. Jennings, in this city. His
physical condition was much improved
over yesterday, and he expects to-
leave for his home in Lincoln tonight.
When Mr. Bryan left his bed Satur-
day night to go to the convention hall
his temperature was above 100, and he
complained of much soreness of the
lungs. He was examined after the
close of the convention by Dr. Os
borne decided there was nothing
alarming in Mr.. Bryan's condition. and
that quiet and rest would quickly re
store him to his usual good health.
His appearance at the convention
hail was in opposition to the com
mands OF his physician and contrary
to the wishes Of his friends. He left
his bed at q time when his attendants
were absent from the room, and in do
ing so created no little alarm for his
safety

BROODED OVER THE
LOSS OF SANTIAGO
Gen. ToraI, Spanish Commander, Dies
After Period of In
sanity.

Madrid. July 11.-Gen. Don Jose
TOral ValaSqueZ, who commanded
the Spanish forces at Santiago when
that place was surrendered to the
United States forces, died yesterday
in an asylum for the insane near here.
The officer lost his mind broodinG over
his capitulation. Gen. Toral long was
considered one of SPANS most dash
ing and experienced officers. He had
all the fire and impetuosity that made
the Spanish cavalier known through
out the world in the golden days.
His failure to hold out against the
American forces. when they hammered
al the gates of Santiago in July, 1898,
broke his spirit.
From 4 gay and resourceful officer,
the idol of his men. Gen. Toral became
moody and avoided his companions in
arms. He sought and received leave
of absence on his return to Spain. I'm
INJURED in his home at MurCia. to which
he retired, he brooded over his defeat
until his mind gave way. Becoming
violent. his own soldiers were sum
moned to escort him TO the asylum in
which he ended his days.
Gen. Toral, by peculiar irony of
fate. was a relative of Gen. TOral of
the same name who became infamous
in history as the Spanish conQueror
of Cuba.
