FALLS INTO RIVER.

Otto Brettgar, 80 years of age,
was drowned yesterday at the C. j.
bridge where he had been fishing all
afternoon. 1t is believed that his
death resulted indirectly from an at
tack of fits to which he was subject.
There was no one present at the time
but the generally accepted theory
was that the man was seized while
he was fishing and falling into the
river was drowned The body was
found by August Weber late in the
afternoon and the West Hammond
police were notified at once The
deceased was a nephew of Ben ID
ner. from whose home the funeral
will be held.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. July 23.-Contrary to
expectations stocks did not open
weak and lower, as a great many
traders and spectators imagined.
The news was OF a very bearish
tenor, with the Russian situation be-
coming more strained every day.
Their securities on the foreign ex-
changes ale selling at discount and
the financial and political situation
in Russia could not be more deplor-
able. The passing away of ore Of the
most unique characters of the street
in the death of Russell Sage had
very little effect on prices of stocks.
The effect in fact was Just opposite to
what a great many traders antici-
pated. When one considers the large
loans this financier had open in
stocks, and the majority Of them
might be called in to prepare for the
settlement of his estate. it is a
small wonder that stocks did not have
a sharp break.
Sugar. ST. Paul and Southern Pa
cific were the leaders. The latter
was exceptionally strong, selling up
to - IL, the highest price it has
reached in six months. Notwith-
standing the losses this road has sus-
tanned in the late San Francisco dis
aster, there is continued talk Of g
dividend being declared on the COM
mon stock. Sugar and st. Paul were
both very strong, each scoring adj
vances of three points. There is a
big short interest in sugar and an
effort was made to drive them in to-
day, which was more or less success
full.

SOLDIERS SWIM IN KANKAKEE

Shelby. Ind. July Saturday
night the eth infantry camped on
the banks of the Kankakee and sun
day was spent at Fair Oak. The
country store at Orchard Grove where
the soldiers camped Friday night, was
stripped of every kind of merchan-
disc on its shelves. The tramp
through the sand through Shelby was
the hardest of the entire trip. Sew

stuck in the deep sand and required

The manifesto asserts that the basis
presented by President Roosevelt's
commissioners were practically the
same as that submitted by the Liberals,
In Justification Of their action in de-
serting congress the Moderate leaders
say that Intervention was already
an accomplished fact.
They consider the intimation of the
American minister that the retention of
the presidency by Senior Palma was
the only solution bringing a result other
than Intervention impossible, and they
declare Furthermore that they were not
able to assist in a congress whose
powers had been declared illegitimate.

American commissioners, in order to
back their erroneous Interpretation OF
the situation. sent letter to the
speaker of the house otating positively
certain conditions as essential for the
person eligible to the presidency.

be paid up to later date. He said
these men would be paid some specified
time, for example, October Is, which
would give them three weeks pay
from the date Of their enlistment.
