their friends, foreign capitalists, on
one side, and E. H. Hartman. prac'

controllers of the vast Canadian Pa
cific system, with their friends, ON the
other.
Remaining neutral for the time be.

AFTER THE pIsTlLLERlEs.
Standard Oil Company Said to B.
Ready to Buy.

Ready to Buy.
Chicago, Aug. 28.-The Standard Oil
company has taken steps toward ac-
quiring ownership of all the principal
distilling plants in the United States,
according to a special dispatch from
Peoria, ILL.,, to the Tribune. A confer
ence was held Friday last in Chicago
between representatives of the distil-
ling interests and the Standard Oil
company.
A price has been set on every dis
tillery in Peoria and indications are
that a deal will be effected and the
plants will pass into the hands of the
Standard soon.
1t is said the price asked was con-
sidered too high by the Standard Oil
people and the latter threatened if
suitable terms could not be reached to
build distilling houses of their own.
The chief reason of this action on
the part of the Standard Oil company
was the recent passage of the alcohol
bill by congress. Experts employed by
the Rockefeller interests, after expert
menting, reported their product cannot
be manufactured cheaply enough to
make it a serious competitor Of gaso-
line, but that it could be used in the
manufacture of mercerized cotton and
other fabrics and would be an extreme
ly favorable product to control.

With Deadly Effect, Kills and In.
jures Many People.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Four revo-
lutionists arrived at M. Stolypin's
villa on Aplekarsky island at $3.50
p. m. in a coach. Two of them were
dressed in the uniforms Of gendarmes,
the third was dressed as a driver and
was on the box of the coach and the
fourth man was in private clothes.
Two Of the men entered the villa
under the pretext Of making an i'm
portant report to the premier. but
they were not permitted to enter his
office. One Of the men threw bomb
into the reception room and a terrible
explosion followed. The house was
nearly destroyed. the man who threw
the bomb was killed, but the premier,
who was in his Office, was uninjured.
His daughter is said to have had both
her legs broken and the premier's
three-year-old son was severely
wounded.
General Zamsatin Killed.
Firemen who arrived on the scene
Immediately after the explosion found
horrible scene. Many mutilated
corpses and large number Of wound
ed and lacerated persons were lying
around the spot where the bomb ex-
pldded Among those killed was Gen
eral Zameatin. who during the war
with Japan was chief of communica-
ton. General Zameatin was the pre-
mier's personal secretary. About fifty
persons were killed or wounded. The
two revolutionists who remained in
the coach were severely wounded by
the explosion of the bomb.
Colonel Stein, who was chief of po-
lice at the Tauride palace, where the
lower house of parliament held it's
sessions. was also killed.
The two revolutionists, or at least
one of them, appear to have been able
to enter the room occupied by the
premier's secretaries. but were not
able to enter the Office of the premier,
whereupon one Of the men hurled a
bomb at the wall separating the sec
retaries' room from the minister's pri-
vate Office. resulting in the revolution
lists being blown to pieces and the
house being almost completely
wrecked. Flames Immediately broke
out tamong the wreckage, but the fire
was soon extinguished by the firemen,
who were hastily summoned.
It was Premier Stolypin's reception
day and many visitors were in the
house. The exact number of killed or
wounded is not known owing to the
frightfully mutilated state of many of
the corpses and the fact that some of
the wounded were carried to nearby
residences. It is believed, however,
that twenty-five persons were killed
and twenty-four wounded people were
taken to a neighboring hospital.

THREE THOUSAND DIE
LATEST ESTIMATE OF NUMBER
OF VICTIMS OF CHILEAN
EARTHQUAKE,

Valparaiso, Aug. 22.-The loss of life
by the earthquake of Aug. 16 probably
will not be short of 5000, while the
property destroyed is estimated at
$10O,OOO,Oo0, and probably far in ex-
cess of that sum.
Order is being maintained with the
utmost severity by the military. police
and armed citizen patrols. who are
empowered to shoot looters on the
spot. The authorities are showing the
utmost energy in the protection of
property.
With the first terrible shock of the
earthquake buildings collapsed, their
falling causing tremendous noise. The
inmates in many cases were unable
to escape. The shock was followed
almost Immediately by fierce storm,
the wind prostrating walls that had
been weakened by the earthquake, and
these broke trolley wires, which
flashed necessarily. The second shock
was even heavier than the first.
Five minutes afterward fires started
in every direction and Immediately
the whole town was Illuminated by
gigantic flames. The firemen made a
desperate fight, though there was but
little water, as most of the mains had
been broken by the early tremor. The
Victoria theater and the Naval club
we're utterly destroyed by the earth
quake and the National theater sue
cumbed to earthquake and fire.

Commercial Houses Ruined.


The Club de Seniembre, the Church
of La Merced, the buildings of the
French fathers, the navy department
building, the city hall and many other
buildings were destroyed by the earth
quake. The destruction by fire, how
ever, was infinitely larger and probab-
ly go per cent of the commercial
houses were totally ruined. In Brazil
avenue alone nearly thirty blocks Of
buildings from three to five stories
high we're destroyed.
The greatest damage from the earth
quake occurred in the provinces of
Valparaiso and Aconcagua. The town
Of Abarca suffered severely. Llai Llai
is reported to have entirely disap-
peared, and Limache and Hero Viejo
have been almost totally wrecked. At
Vina del Mar three-quarters of the
houses are in ruins.
The authorities at Valparaiso have
taken over the feeding Of the people
and provisions are being brought in
from places that were not destroyed.
Slight earthquake shocks are con-
tinuing. The people have not yet re-
turned to their homes, but are sleep
ing on the surrounding hills and in
the streets and squares. The fires
have all been extinguished. More
than 100 men taken in the act of com.
mitting robberies have been shot.

of the 18th inst. 81 catalogue the So
called glove contests along with foot
ball, bullfghts and duels," he said,
vehemently, yesterday when asked for
an expression of his views. Nevada
recognizes and places, in a way, her
approval upon prizefghts by licensing
them. AS long as they are given with
in the law they are entitled to be, but
so far as | am concerned personally |
would like to see them prohibited. 1t
is a poor sort of a sport and a disgrace
to the State. | would certainly find no
entertainment in watching two beat
each other half to death, but if there
are persons who can-well, let them
come to Goldfeld and get what enjoy
ment they can out Of the Labor day
fight. For my part, l car find diver
sion of a more manly and elevating
nature for that great holiday"

JORDAN TELLS
OF THIS CAMP

Joseph S. Jordan in an article on
Southern Nevada published by the San
Francisco Daily journal Of Commerce,
makes the following gratifying men
ton OF Silver Peak: There are other
districts which have been coming to the
front, and which promise to be among
the big producers before the fall has
frozen into winter. Prominent among
these are Fairview, Silver Peak and
Goldmountain. The first of these has
already sent out some good shipments
and has been opened up by Goldfeld
and Tonopah men, principally by the
men from Goldfield who are at work
developing their properties. Gold
mountain seems destined to rank with
the big producers of Southern Nevada
and has already a goodly number of
millions in ore, blocked out and in
sight. Silver Peak, since its invasion
by Pittsburg and Tonopah capital. is
reviving old memories and the Blair
mine will soon again rank with the
worlds big producers.

CONTRACT LET
ON LOOKOUT

The good news of the letting of an
other contract is at hand, this time
from Edgar C. Knox, manager of the
Lookout group of claims, says the Fair
view Miner. On last Wednesday a
contract was let to j. P. Willis and M.
]. Harris to sink the shaft on the Look
out ground, already down rs feet, to
the 1OO-foot level, and to crosscut on
either side of it 100 feet.
The Lookout group of claims have not
as yetbeen organized into any company,
but are owned by Charles E. Knox, of
the Montana onopah, F. M. Kirk, of
Cleveland, and j.. Braun, of Phila-
delphia. The claims lie Immediately
east of the ground of the Nevada Hills
company, and between that and the
Pyramid company.
The ground here, as will be seen, is
to be subjected to a thorough prospect
ing at depth. Owing to a considerable
Gaping having taken place in this Sec
ton at some period, no outcrops are
visible, nor any traces of a vein, but
it is the confident belief of the owners
that the work now to be inaugurated
will result in the discovery OF the same
ledge that ~traverses the property of the
Nevada Hills company. Such explora-
tion work as is attempted must be done
through the agency of a shaft, owing
to the formation of the ground here
affording no good tunnel site.
Six men will be put to work in two
shifts On this contract and later, when
prosecuting is under way, they will
number seven or eight. Work is to be
commenced at once and the speediest
possible completion of the contract is
to be aimed at. The contract will
probably involve from four to six weeks
of good, steady work. The location of
this ground renders it one of the most
promising prospects in the camp, and
should any strike be made thereon, as
seems highly probable, it would be
difficult to exaggerate its Importance.
Developments on this property during
the next few weeks will therefore be
watched with special interest, and if
the bonanza ledge of the Nevada
Hills is ultimately encountered, the
camp may congratulate itself on the
possession of another big factor in its
output of the precious metals.

Not an Intelligence Bureau

A well known Indiana man says that
some years ago, when the late Gen.
Lew Wallace was serving as governor
of New Mexico, he shipped home to
Indiana a carload of curios for his
friends. The collection consisted main
ly Of boxes of minerals, furs, Indian
blankets and beadwork, and with them
went a Mexican burro intended for a
neighbours child as a pet. When the
car reached it's destination the freight
agent, in checking up the contents of
car, misunderstood the word "burro,"
and, thinking, that it was the phonetic
attempt of some illiterate railroader to
spell bureau" was unable to find any
piece of furniture on hand to fit the
bill of lading. So, according to rail-
way custom in the matter of irregular
tiles, he promptly telegraphed back to
the shipping point: Car 3S, 492, AL
buquerque, consigned Wallace, arrived,
minus one bureau, plus one jackass.
Please trace and notify" Gen. Wal
lace himself dictated the reply,
"change places with jackass. -Har-

THIS ONE SOUNDS
A LITTLE FISHY

A Denver dispatch dated last Satur-
day says: Forty-two thousand dollars
carried around in a black pocketbook
and dropped by the owner between the
Albany Hotel and the Windsor Baths,
such was the experience of Frank Pre-
vost Of Reno, New, who stopped off a
train to "see a man or two" in Denver.
Provost discovered his loss when he
disrobed at the baths and telephoned
the police, reporting his loss. The loss
occasioned no changed in his plans.
After reporting it he went to his bath
and left for Reno, leaving the address
to which the money might be forwarded
if found.
Frank Provost, who is alleged to
have lost $42, 900 in Denver, is well
known in Reno. He is said. to have
large mining interests. Around the
local hotels his name is familiar to those
connected with the establishments, but
non could tell where he is located at
the present time. Last April Provost
is asserted to have inspected mines at
Fairview. c. N. billiard, a mine owner
there, claims to have been connected
with Provost during the spring Of this
year. billiard did not know the par
ticulars of the lost pocketbook when
seen last night.
