SECOND SUICIDE OF
PANAMA GRAFTERS.
Emile Arton, One Of Principals in Deals
of Dozen Years Ago, Found
Dead in Paris.

Paris, July 17-Emile Arton, one of
the principal figures in the old Panama
canal scandal, was found dead in his
apartments this morning under circum-
stances indicating suicide.
Arton was sentenced in 1898 to eight
years imprisonment for completely with
Baron de Reinach and DIR. Cornelius
Herr in the frauds of the Panama Canal
company. Arton was the intermediary
between Baron de Reinach and the in
eliminated French deputies, that is, be-
tween the briber and the bribed
Arton wrote the checks and had the
check book on whose stubs was recorded
the guilt of about 40 politicians. He
alone possessed the secrets of the brib-
cry.
When the crash came, in 1892, Arton
disappeared. and with him went about
$4,000 of the funds of the French
Dynamite society with which Arton was
associated. In his absence he was SEN
fenced on the charge of trying to bride
deputy, to FIVE years imprisonment,
and to twenty years imprisonment for
his connection with the French Dyna-
mite society.
Arton was finally captured in London
and taken to France, but was pardoned
IN 1899.
De Reinach committed suicide, and
DR.. Herr, after seeking refuse in Eng
Land, died there in 1898.

NORWAY WOULD
BE 4 MILESTONE
King Oscar Opposed to Forcible Reunion
of Two Contesting Ma
tons.

Berlin, July 17.-Dr. Hugo Cans, CORE
spOndent of the Frankfort Zeitung, has
had an interview with King Oscar of
Sweden, at Stockholm, during which his
majesty said he admired the way in
which the Norwegians won to their side
all the European publicists without, how
ever, benefting their cause.
1.-The wrong remains wrong" said the
King, adding that the Norwegians had
surprised him by the suddenness Of their
acts. King Oscar denied that he had
precipitated the crisis by declining to ac-
cept the resignation of the Norwegian
cabinet, for the Norwegians themselves
had declared that whoever accepted a
portfolio would cease to be Norwegian.
The correspondent remarked that he
had heard only words of respect for the
King in Norway, to which his majesty
replied:
For my part, I have forgiven the
Norwegians and hope to God that the
Swedish people will also remain calm,
for it would only be hanging a milestone
about our neck to restore the union
forcibly.''
The King also said that appointing a
Swedish prince to the Norwegian throne
would certainly be the simplest solution
of the difficulty, but the result would be
distrust in Sweden or in Norway.
Every time public opinion either in
Sweden or in Norway was displeased
with the sovereign's acts the cry would
be raised that 1.-The son does this to
please the father" or 1.-The father does
this to please the SON.

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS

Minneapolis, Mimi, July III. E.
Murphy, president of the Savan Lumber
company of McGregor, Mimi, who has
just arrived from the flooded district on
the banks of the Mississippi river, esti-
mates the number of families that have
been drowned out of their homes at. 500,
and, bereft as they are, Of their stock,
crop prospects, and the necessities of
life their condition is most lamentable.
There is but one story to tell of the
ravages of the flooded district, and that
is that the people living on the low
lands have been drowned out said Mr..
Murphy. Their homes, barns and farm
buildings have been surrounded by
water and they have lost their crops.
There has been no loss Of life, but,
without food for their stock or even for
themselves. they have been compelled to
leave their farms and flock to the towns
Many have driven in their stock and sold
it for whatever they could get. Some of
the poor people have found temporary
refuge in Aitkin and are being housed
IN churches and other public buildings
The whole trouble is with the govern
ment dams. The managers persist i'll
keeping the water stored in vast quanti-
ties until the June and July freshets
come. overflow the dams, and food the
country. They hold the water. summer
and winter. and when high water comes
they make haste to let out the water.
The water should be drawn off before
the June and July freShetS.

Initiating a Monkey to Lure a Tiger.

To call a tiger the proceeding was
as follows: The Mikir, having first as
certained that a tiger was in the neigh
borhood, would climb into well
branched ieafy tree situated near where
he supposed the tiger to be, and after
hiding himself among the branches as.
best de could, would commence to imi-
tate the chattering of monkey, and
break and drop twigs in the way that.
monkeys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
bundle of rags, weighed SO that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as if baby monkey had tumbled
down from the tree, and at the same
time would initiate the supposed baby
monkey cries. This would be the SUI
preme moment, for if a tiger was near
it would often spring out, in the hope
of swapping up such a dainty morsel
as a young monkey, and then the bullet
from the gun of the hidden Mikir might
find its billet in the tigers body. By
this means the Mikir was said to have
killed a considerable number of tigers,
and certainly the mans power of MIN
icry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature, the sound initiated be-
ing the cry of a fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers, too, it had
to be adopted with caution, because it
was used only in open grass land, from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were a tiger
suddenly to put in pronunciation

JAPS SANG AS THEY
WENT DOWN TO DEATH.
Crew Of Takasago Shouted Praises to
Mikado as Waves Broke Over
the Ship.

Toxic, July 1.-THE story of the loss
of the japanese cruiser Takasago last
Decenxber, only published since the de-
struction of Rojestvensky' fleet, is &
military classic.
After the Takasago struck mine and
began to sink the crew assembled in per-
feet order on the upper deck, there to
await the battle with a stormy sea and
death. Capt. Ishibashi communicated the
predicament of his ship to the comman-
der of the fleet by wireless telegraphy,
then then ordered every man TO use life
belt and directed that no one Jump over
board until the ship actually sank.
The crew then Joined in singing the
national anthem, cheering the Emperor,
and lastly they sang Gallant Sailors, :"
their 500 voices ringing out above the
storm. After that, as Il relaxation, the
men wert allowed to smoke, and thus
they went calmly to their deaths.
A few minutes after the Takasago
sunk. scarchlight was observed in a
southeasterly direction. The light APP
preached and disclosed to view the war
ship Otowa. which had come to the res
cue. The latter stopped at defiance
of 300 meters from the scene of the dis
aster, illumined the scene with all her
searchlights, and dispatched three boats
to the rescue.
At sight of the Otowa. the men, who
had resigned themselves to death, raised
cries for help, thus increasing the sad
ness of the scene. -
Despite the efforts of the boats. only
133 persons including Capt. Ishibashi,>
were saved, more than $50 being lost,
including Commander Nakayama. 4

ward Mauka.

Toxic, July lit is announced Off
cially that the Russian center holding
Darline and vicinity was attacked July
II and offered stubborn resistance. The
assault was renewed at dawn of July Il,
when the japanese disIodged the Rus

respondent of the London Times says:
"One Of the better known officers of
the Russian government, who has been
closely connected with the peace nego-
tiations, stated to me that in his opinion
there existed but a slight hope that they
will be successful. Up until the inva-
sion OF Sallhalien, he declared, there
was every indication that an honorable
ending of the war could be arranged.

GEOGRAPHICAL PROFANITY.
Pull-and- Be-Damned and Hell-Before
Breakfast Points in Maine.

Scattered along the coast of Maine are
a good number of headlands, which have
received permanent names from a literal
and profane translation of the feelings
which possessed the minds of boatmen
and river drivers.
Bucksport village is point which
stretches into the river so far as TO mar
row the channel and to cause the in and
out flowing tides TO run rapidly for sew
eral rods above and below. Though the
community is largely made up OF piOus
Methodlsts. this small cape has borne the
name of Observation-Disclosures Point for
more than century.
. Down on the shore near the village Of
South IhomaSton, between the Owls
Head and White Head lights, an aged
stone cutter named David Geer was pull
ing Whaleboat more than fifty years
ago. and, III trying to row around a pro-
trudlng cape near Ash island. lost his
wind and drifted back into South Thorn
aston, where he was surrounded by his
cronies and asked why he did not so
home.
1T is that Internal point" explained
Geer. AT half tide the water out there
runs like the millrace of Hades. am.
going to name it"
Here the old man stopped and men
toned the same name which is given TO
the cape near Bucksport. a title which
it has carried to this time.
Another profane geographical nar.e in
Maine has been given to a small cape
reaching into Princeton river near Sys-
ladobsis lake, in Lakeville plantation,
Hancock county. \ crew of bark peel
ers was camping on the shore of the up
per lake. One morning just as the cook
had brought the breakfast ashore in 4
batteau, and while the men We're eating.
the boat went adrift down the lake. Sec
ing the mishap, one of the hands jumped.
up, stripped off his coat and plunged iutc
the cold water His companions told
him to wait until he had finished his
meal. In reply the swimmer said:
I'll get that boat or take breakfast liz
hell"
He battled strongly against the waves
for few minutes longer, and went down.
to death.
The accident happened more than half
q century ago, since which time the cape

DARING CHAUFFEUR
IN A TIGHT PINCH.
Two Probably Fatally Injured When
Auto Is Caught Between Street
Car and Pillar.

New York. July 1.-Two young wom-
en- were probably fatally hurt and their
two male companions had a remarkable
escape from injury today when the au-
tomobile Of Frederick E. Marshall of
st. Louis, which had been borrowed by
Mr.. Marshall's chauffeur, was caught
between an elevated railway pillar and a
street car, at Seventy-ninth street and
Third avenue. The automobile was re-
duced almost to scrap iron.
The forty horsepower machine at
tempted to race in front of a surface car
and as it lodged between the elevated
pillars and whirled on to the track it
was pinched between the car and a pill
lar. The rear half of the automobile, in
which were seated Miss Cora Michaelis
and Helen Donnschauser, two of the
chauffeur's friends, was demolished and
the girls were so tangled in the wreck
age of car and automobile that it took
half an hour to eXtricate them.
Fond du Lac, Wis, July 17.-LSpe-
cial. l-Sheriff Harcum is searching for
waukee man who was driving it.
The machine went through Campbells-
port Sunday noon, soaring a team of
valuable horses attached to farm wag-
on and forcing them into a barb wire
fence, on which they were almost cut to
shreds. The driver of the horses was
also badly hurt and the wagon dam
aged. If the animals fully recover they
will be SCARED for life.
Turnkey Wickert of the county jail
started out to investigate, but, after
spending all afternoon in the neighbor-
hood of Campbellsport and Eden, re-
turned to visit Lake De Nevue ard Win
nebago park, but with no success. 1t is
believed the machine went north.
The people of Eden remember seeing
an automobile going through the village
at a high rate of speed at about 4
o'clock. Several other horses were
scared, but the driver seemed to pay no
attention
