Cause of the Wreck.

Madrid, Aug. THE Espana Neuva this
account for the wreck of the SriO In
this communication it is asserted that the
Italian steamer was engaged in the clan
destine embarkatiOn of Spanish emigrants
along the coast. and that large sums OF
money were paid for this work. This is
said to explain why the vessel followed q
course never taken by ships of equal ton
mage
Continuing. the Espana Neuva says the
conduct of the captain and crew of the
Sirio when the catastrophe occurred left
much to be desired and justifies the be-
lief in the report that Illicit traffic was
going on.

Discovered by His Wife.

The discovery was made by his wife,
who upon returning home at o'clock this
evening went to her husbands room and
found him lying dead on the floor with
pistol in his hand. He had taken off his
coat, vest, collar and cuffs, unrolled his
army blankets on the floor, laid down on
them and apparently fired the shot with
elaboration.
The reason given by his family for the
deed is worry over his ill-health as the
result of service In the Philippines In ad-
ditiOn to an attack of locomotor ataxia
and that he would become a burden to his
wife

IS GIVEN A CHANCE
Nevada Man Permitted to Open a
Judgment Obtained Against
Him in New York.

New York, Aug. 6.-John McKane of
Nevada has been permitted by Justice
White of the supreme court, sitting in
Brooklyn to open a judgment for oyer
100000 taken by default against him by
John Sloan, a Pittsburg financier, in
Richmond county, N. Y.
McKane was served with the papers IN
the case when about to sail for Liverpool
on the steamer Cedric.
Former Congressman John j. Adams,
who represented McKane, denied that Nc
Kane had made any attempt TO eVaGe
service. The plaintiffs lawyer waited, so
McKane AYERS, until he was going to his
state room on the steamer, where he was
handed the papers, which he threw on
the deck His wife, he says, picked them
up and tore them to pieces
McKane was in New Brunswick, Can
ada, when he became aware that judg-
ment had been taken against him. He
insisted that he was British subject and
could not rightfully be either served with
papers or arrested here.
Former Judge Frank Brundage, who ap-
peared for the plaintiff, said the suit
arose out of failure on the part Of
McKane to deliver to Sloan five thousand
shares of a silver mine in Nevada, of
which McKane is the owner, and which
were worth $50 share.
Pittsburg. Aug. 6-John Sloan is d
mining promoter of this city and is gener-
ally accredited with being the representa-
tive of August Heinze, the copper mag
nate The suit in question was said here
tonight TO be a reOpening of an old case
that was brought in the courts of Allie
gheny county four years ago, and Is the
outcome of an agreement between Sloan
and Mckane, in which the latter is al
legged to have Offered Sloan block OF
stock in the TOnOpah Extension & Mining
company of Nevada in return for Sloan's
Influence in floating the stock in this city
McKane at that time was president of the
Tonopah company, but is now out of eX-
ecutiye control with the exception of be-
ing on the directorate.

Really Bully.

A nice little man
With a pretty fair stomach
Hit it hard with the Coffee
And got d little hummock
Right in the middle
OF his hard working liver,
And the bottled up bile
Made the little man shiver,
One day he had the collie
And the wise little chap
Thought he better quit the frolic
For it dealt him such a rap
So the Coffee was let out
With a fair amount of grace
And a piping cup of Postum
Was served
i'm
its
place.

No Attempt to Save.

! A number of the survivors assert that
passing vessels paid no attention what
ever to the Sirio's signals of distress Sew
eral vessels. they declare even put on full
steam and rapidly drew away.
One of the mates. a boatswain and two
seamen of the Sro succeeded in saving
the log book and other documents. These
have been seized by the authorities.
The captain of the Srio refuses to
speak except to say that the vessel struck
a reef not down on the charts.
The general opinion of the survivors
seems to be that the calamity was due
10 the exaggerated overconfidence of the
captain who. because he had sailed these
waters many years. believed he knew
every rock and dangerous shoa.

of the Thompson Land and Develop ment Company, who was a doubter of the feasibility of the proposition Co put the Huntsville natural gas to a practi- cal use, is now believer in it's prom ising benefits to the city.
 Tt is one of the indications of the new Huntsville which has come into being" said MT. Thompson, who Is one of the most energetic and progressive citizens of the place. Other proofs are to be found on every hand. The rich ness of the Tennessee Valley lands has long been famous and the natural ad- vantage of Huntsville as a great city have been long recognized. That pos abilities are now being made certain ties is due to the aroused spirit of en- ergy- and aggressiveness of the people. You would have to travel far now to find a people who are more alive to the purpose of building up their town than the people of Huntsville They are united in working for and in talk ing for Huntsville.
 "Mr. Pratt is one of the new men who have come in and put their money and faith in Huntsville. His invest ments have already been a benefit to the city. His cotton mills as well as the natural gas proposition are indica- tive of some. of the benefits that the modern business brought to Huntsville when they came here with their money and their energy.

 A Minnesota congressman has intro- duced a bill into the house authorizing the federal government to appropriate $100, ,000 for a memorial to Lief Ericson on the ground apparently that he was the real discoverer of America. There Is, 1t is true, farirly good testimony. that Ericson visited some portion of the northeastern coast of the American continent about 1000 A. D. But as no result whatever in the shape at least of permanent settlement came of this visit to ''Vipiand" and as the region re- mained untenanted bv Europeans for hundreds of years thereafter. and, been debated to the point of exhaustion, and, finally, as the same records which tell of Ericson's voyage mention similar discoveries by previous Morse navga- tors there seems no good historic req son for such memorial.
