sHANGHAIED AND LEFT WITHOUT MONEY FAR FROM HOME.
34RoWD Into Prison and Otherwise
 Badly Treated--StriI<e Break ers Guarded by De- terffveR.

Pensacola. Fla. July 3.-fSpecial)-
 Lewis Silcox, the farmer from near Bluff Springs, who claimed some weeks ago In New York that he had been shanghaied on the bark Dharwar at this port, reached his home today, hay ing been, absent for nearly fifteen months. Silcox had terrible experi- ence in foreign lands. as the captain of the Dharwar landed him at Antwerp, he says. with but five shillings, which he told was all that was coming to him, and refused to allow him to again ship on the vessel, as the farmer pre- fered staying there than to landing In place where he knew no one.
 He walked to Worcester. frequently begging for something to eat, and was there arrested as a vagrant by the po- lice and placed in prison. He was dis covered in rags and covered with vef min by the Police Court Commissioner, who wrote to the mans mother here. and money was sent him to return horne.
 He was delayed some time after reaching New York. owing to the fact that his money was not sufficient to bring him further, and has just now reached home. where he says he will remain until he dies.
 It Is possible that the Government authorities will take up the shanghai ing case if the statements made by Sil- cox in New York are substantiated by him here.

Joint Debate.


 joint debate. which will draw crowds here from all over West Flor ida, has been arranged between Cover nor Napoleon B. Broward and State Senator John s. Beard, who will dis cuss the drainage question. The date of the debate has not yet been fixed, but 1t will be some time during the latter portion of this month. Upon his recent visit to Tallahassee Mayor Bliss asked the Governor if he would object to meeting Mir. Beard in a joint debate on the drainage of the everglades and retaining of thousands of acres of lands. The latter replied that he would be pleased to do so. in- asmuch as the people of Western Flor ida had not had the opportunity of hav- ing the merits of the matter placed be- fore them.
 MT. Bliss then saw Mir. Beard. who is opposed to the scheme, and he ac- cepted the challenge of the Governor. The question is to be voted upon in the general election in November and a strong and determined fight is being made by those in favor of and opposed | to the measure, which will considerably increase taxation in certain sections of the State.

Though he was fired at eight times at
short range, his only injuries were six
slight flesh wounds. The motive for
the crime has not been established, but
it is believed to be a revolutionary act
patterned after the attack on Germans
at Warsaw, preceding the attempt on
the life of Governor General Skallon.
Mr. Urquhart. who was unarmed,
was driving In his carriage at z o'clock
Saturday evening when a shot was
fired from the pavement, the bullet
passing through the back of his car
riage. Immediately a second assailant
leaped from the crowd to the step of
the carriage and fired bullet which
penetrated the fieshy part of his hand.
Mr.. Urquhart, who is tall and strongly
built, jumped up to grapple with his
assailant, but the horse boIted, throw
ing him violently to the pavement,
where he lay half stunned. His assail-
ant was the first to rise, and emptied
the other six shots from his automatic
revolver at the prostrate body, four OF
them going through the vice consuPs
waistcoat and two through his trous-
ers. Mr.. Urquhart was able to rise
and pursue the man who had attacked
him, but he escaped in the crowd
When Mr. Urquhart was examined il
was found that he had been grazed
five times on the abdomen and wound
ed on the hand.

The Canal Commission Will Make
Lot of Money Out Of the old Machin-
cry Left in Panama by the French
men.

Washington, Sept. 10.The sale OF
1900 tons of cast iron junk on the
Isthmus Of Panama for $4,000 recently
has encouraged the canal commission
to believe that they have small for
tune in the worthless machinery pur-
chased from the French Canal Co. The
lot of scrap iron sold was assembled
from a few acres of ground which
Chief Engineer Stevens found 1t neces-
sary to clear in order to construct new

road.

mission today stated fl1at there were
thirty miles of ground strewn with
similar machinery He roughly caicu-
lated that when this machinery Is
gathered up It will be worth s1.O00,O00

Among the items that will figure hi
this scrap are 240 Belgian engines that
are equipped with copper boilers and

Giles WILL BE REMOVED AND
THE SULTAN WILL NO LONGER
IGNORE AMERICANS.

Constantinople, Sept. 10.-There is
some probability that American Ann
bassador Leishman viii be received in
audience by the sultan in the course
of the present week for the purpose
of handing in his credentials. Leish-
man has abstained from asking
for an early reception since the sui
tan was taken i'll, recognizing that the
ambassadors to whom an audience
had been promised before the break
down Of the sultan had a priority of
claim The suggestion contained i'm
a dispatch received from New York
that the American squadron, under
Rear Admiral Brownson, possibly
would make a demonstration in the
Turkish waters lis not taken seriously
here. 1t is pointed out that the pres
ent relations between the United
States and Turkey do not justify any
such actions although strained situ-
|ation doubtless would arise should the
sultan persist in putting off the au-
dience with the new American ambas-
sador.
