off the coast of YuCatan have caused
three islands to disappear These ISL

So far as known there was no per-
manent habitation upon any of the
islands. but at last accounts there were
them. Whether the sudden disappear
ance of the islands caused any loss of
life is not stated in the report to the
government The waters of the guilt

Somewhere within the Territory Of
Hawaii there is concealed a mighty
wrestler who at one time had the pleas
ure of meeting such men as jenkins
Hackenschmidt and other knights of
the mat, but who gave up the catch as
catch-can game for the more strenuous
game of jiu jitsu sometime ago.
He heard before he left for Hawaii
that Hitchayama Ghe champion OF
Japan would probably come here some
time in the near future, and expressed
his intention of getting in trim again,
and challenge him when he arrives.

the fun would be resented by fists on
the part of the catcher, but he consid-
cred that it had been done in joke
and let it pass.
The work of John 10 in the box Tor
his team was not up to his usual

At times it looked as if the c. S. A

The officers of the Chinese Athletic
Club thoughtfully provided chairs 10

to the Government authorities, who
are disinclined to take seriously dis
patch from Washington saying that
America has been disturbed by sensa-
tional reports from Europe about the

The Foreign Office declares that all

It ALL DEPENDS ON TAFT

In the iron and steel trade a few
deals of Importance have been closed
during the past week, but general con-
ditions are still dull and are expected
to remain so till after the presidential
election. Indications are that the in
dustry as a whole will continue to run
on the present basis of about 60 ger
cent of capacity till the big political
questions are settled. In case of a sat
isfactory settlement, and to the great
majority of manufacturers that means
the election of Mr.. Taft it is believed
that numerous important projects now
held in allegiance will be pushed for
ward at once and give new life to the
steel industry In Chicago alone ac-
cording to trade estimates, there are
projects for buildings and bridges.
and bridges that will call for so. 900
tons of steel In New York It is fig
ured, the plans in contemplation will
require total of more than 10o. 900
tons. Several of these projects depend
on the result of the election for com
pletion or abandonment. In ST Louis
and several other cities plans of i'm
portance in total are pending in the
same way.

There was no pretense of maintains

times during the day the traffic was
demoralized completely. There were

Z and 9. The large Sunday crowd
which usually patronizes the line found
themselves stalled in various places in

surrounding Gary.
After the Hammond car did arrive IL
was so crowded that it was almost
impossible to secure standing room.
some time after 9 o'clock Among the
patrons of the lines was Judge W. W.

trip to South Bend and was held UP for
two hours, just east of Gary and then
for an hour and a quarter in Gary.
He was with a party og friends

was neither republican nor demo-

Cured yesterday afternoon when Ed
ward Harrison, an assistnt foreman of
an electrical gang fell for a distance
of thirty-five feet, striking on his head
on concrete floor below. The man
died instantly and was removed to
Jones morgue. The accident occurred
at 2:1o yesterday afternoon and was
witnessed by scores of his fellow en-
ployes and friends.
Edward Harrison resides in Chicago
and has ben working in the Indiana
Steel company but a short time. He
is single. and lived with his parents
in Chicago, where the body will be
shipped today. He was well liked in
the mills, where he was recognized as
a very competent electrician. Re-
Gently he was placed in the position
of assistant foreman of the gang in
which he was working.
1t was while employed with his men
on Pig Iron milf that he met his
death. He as working on top of a
thirty fve-foot beam when he sudden

tel where lunch was served to them.
The afternoon was then spent in see
ing the city, meeting the leaders of the
local union men, and discussing the To-
cal situation with the leaders.
In the evening before three hundred
people, Mr.. Parry discussed the vari-
Gus issues in the national campaign,
directly effecting the working man. He
said that they had gone to the repub-
lfcan convention at Chicago to obtain
planks favorable to unionism and that
they were turned down. At Denver
they did not receive quite so harsh
treatment on the injunction platform,
said the speaker, and therefore Mr..
decided that it would be for their own
interest to have Bryan elected. He also
discussed the guarantee bank system
and advocated its adoption.
Crowd Was Enthusiastic.
The crowd which gather, although
small, was enthusiastic. The theater
was comfortably filled with mostly
workingmen. Mr.. c. o. Seton. presi-
dent of the local democratic club, pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. NJ. H. Stan
resentative, also addressed the crowd
for a few minutes. The next big dem

How long, o Lord, how long," has
been the cry in West Florida for many
day running into years in the matter
of the excessive 4-cent passenger rate
over the p. and A. and Yellow River
divisions of the Louisville and Nash
viMe railroad. While in every other
state in the Union the railroads have
felt themselves in big luck TO be per-
mitted to continue the Scent rate, and
n many instances were forced by law
below that figure, here In West Flor
liza the l.. and n. obtusa to all the sug-
gestions of justice or the signs of the
times, has held steadily and stolidly
10 tariff VIGOROUSLY excessive and
unfair, merely because it has the
power to do 50.
But at last it is to be called down
and made to show why it persists in
a policy. the reason for which has
long since disappeared The Florida
Railroad Commission has ordered the
company to produce its books and ac-
counts. in Pensacola on April II, in
order that they may be examined by
the commission for the purpose of
ascertaining if the passenger receipts
have not Increased sufficiently to war;
rant the company in coming down 20
a Scent rate.
II is the observation of all patrons
of the line that the road is doing quite
as good a business as other roads in
other parts of the country, where only
3 cents discharged, and If the investi-
cations of the commission shall show
this to be true, We may expect the
prompt issuance of an order to the L.
G. n. to cease its unjust exactions and
establish Scent rate.
The universal opinion is that it is
high time to take such a step. There
is no reason why the people of West
Florida should be perpetually CON-
PEELED to pay an unjust tribute to this
corporation q
