There are now no vessels on the Central

unsettled state ol allairs in several lo

might be advisable to have a cruiser

is very doubtful if Hawaii will be given

Mexican Offlclala Much Interested
Our New Law.
Kansas Citv, Mo., September 10.
Ex-Governor T.T.Crittenden, Consul-
General of the United States to Mexico,
arrived in Kansas City this morning.
Speaking of Mexico, Mr. Crittenden
said:
" The Mexican officials are much in
terested in our new tariff law. It will
tend to increase trade between the two
Republics, but it is not as liberal as I
should have liked to have seen it. Lead
ore ought to have been free. The reduc
tion of the tariff on cattle will be bene
ficial. I saw it stated just before I left
that the reduction of tariff will bring
100,000 head of Mexican cattle into the
American markets within a year. I do
not know that thiB Is true, but I give it
as it came to me. The Mexican govern
ment would reduce the high tariff it
maintains if it could. Its financial con
dition is unfortunate, and the depreci
ation in silver has been hard on Mexico,
Still it is paying the interest on its debts.

burg the Frinolpal Gneat.
Berlin, September 10. The Emperor
William made a a sensational speech the
other evening at a State banquet, at
which the King of Wurtemburg was the
principal guest. He had previously
struck from the list of guests the names
of Count von Mirbach and Count von
Kanitz and Generals Klitzuing and San
dim. The two latter were subsequently
restored. Emperor William's act plain
ly marked his displeasure at the attitude
of the persons named upon tne agrarian
question. This is confirmed by the fact
that the EmDeror has iust decorated
Count von JJoenhoff with the order of
the Ked Eagle. Count von Doenhoff was
expelled last May from a Conservative
union, because be voted for the Kusso-
German commercial treaty in the Keichs-
tau. Emperor William approved the
Count's action. After the Emperor had
toasted the King of Wurtemburg and
the latter had responded, his Imperial
Majesty made a speech, which caused
the deepest impression. After a few
words of thanks for his reception the
Emperor said:
" When I was here four years ago I
emphasized the fact that in Eastern
Prussia, where the people are chiefly
farmers, you must before all preserve
and maintain a capable peasantry, and
that as such they would be a pillar of
support to any monarchy. Hence my
constant endeavor whenever the oppor
tunity arises to foster the welfare and
economy of East Prussia. The past four
grievous yeara have weighed upon the
farmer, and it appears to me that under
this condition doubt has arisen in regard
to my promises and as to whether I
should be able to keep tbem. Nay, I
find myself compelled to observe with a
sore heart that in the circles of the no
bility standing near the throne my best
intentions were misunderstood and to a
certain extent combatted. Nay, more,
word of opposition has been brought to
my ears. Gentlemen, the opposition of

One of the Moat Complete Cave-lni In
the nlatorjr of That Kxten.lve Mining
Region Th Wlldeat Excitement Pre
vailing Through the Neighborhood.
Lofty, Penn., September 8. The little
mining town of Scotch Valley, near here,
was swallowed up to-night In one of the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
in this region. The scene of the disaster
is on the slope of Mount Lookout, and a
score of houses comprise the hamlet at
the mouth of the shaft from Mount Look
out colliery. The wildest excitement
prevails through the region, and details
are fragmentary. It is known, however,
that the dozen houses on each side of
the principal street of the hamlet are
completely swallowed up in the gaping
hole, and nothinir can be seen of the
other buildings but the roofs, gables and
chimneys. It is impossible to state ac
curately the number of fatalities, or if
there are ary. Parties are exerting
every means to release the occupants of
the engulfed dwellings. One of the buried
houses has taken fire. The cave-in was
caused by the giving way of timbers and
supports in the workings Of the Mount
Lookout colliery, which has not been in
operation for two years and had been
neglected in consequence.
At i-30 the inhabitants were startled
by rumbling reports like falling rock in
the cavernB of the abandoned mine many
hundreds of fet below them. The
ground trembled and swayed like an
earthquake beneath them. Report was
followed by report, and. accompanied bv

Washington, September 8. The
much-mooted German question was de
cided by the Supreme Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias to-day by a decisive
vote against permitting the use of the
ritual in other than the English lan
guage. Two votes waere taken first on
the substitution of the minority report
to itlve the German Iodizes five veara'
grace in which to adopt the English rit
ual, resulting vi to 41 againBt the minor
ity report. Then the majority report
was adopted by a vote of 79 to 30. The
gist of the majority report is found in-
uie toiiowing recommendation :
"That the Supreme Lodge rean-
nounces and affirms the declaration
made at the Kansas City session, and
that henceforth and foreve'rmore the rit
ual used in this and all other Enirlish
speaking nations be printed in the Eng
lish language onlv. and when the stand-
ard of our order shall be planted in anv
country speaking other than the Eng
lish language, the ritual therein shall be
printed and all concerns over which the
body has control shall be conducted only
in the language of such government, to
the end that it may be known to all men
and all nations that surrounding our al
tars Pythian Knights are taught aa one
of the cardinal principles of our order
undying loyalty and devotion to the gov

Haa Been Told.
Pine Citv, Minn., September 8. The
worst has probably been told at Hinck
ley, and it is doubtful' If there will be
any very large additions to the list of
dead. Last night several bodies were
found in a cellar, but they were so badly
burned that it was impossible to deter
mine whether there were three or four
bodies. Supplies are coming to Hinck
ley at a rapid rate, and there is no lack
in any department of the relief work.
The relief committee appointed by Gov
ernor Nelson arrived here to-night for
the purpose of canvassing the situation
and systematizing the relief work. No
money has been turned over to the suf
ferers as yet. All persons and bodies
that have collected cash donations have
wisely refrained from giving any to the
refugees, and there is a general under
standing that every cent shall be turned
over to the State committee, which, on
account of the complete information it
will have, will be able to handle the
funds to the best advantage. The ex
citement caused by the fire at Pokegama
haa about subsided, and now that all the
dead are buried, attention is being paid
to the hundreds of dead animals scattered
over the country. These are being
cremated as fast as focr.d. Not a vestige
of the village remains, but the surviving
inhabitants, who have been cared for by
the citizens of St. Cloud, are preparing
to rebuild their homes aa soon as material
can be provided. There are no fires in

KILLED HIS PARTNER.
An Idaho Farmer Confeaaea the Crime
and Is Freed.
Boisk, Idaho. September 9. A States
man special from liailey, Idaho, says:
W. W. Owens, a rancher, came into Sol
dier, Logan county, last week, and gave
himself up, saying that he had killed
bis partner. S. S. Adams. Owens' story
was that Adams tried to drive him away
from the ranch. He locked un the cabin.
and told Owens to leave, finally getting
his Winchester to enforce the order.
Thereupon Owens shot him five times
witn a revolver. After the shooting,
which occurred about sundown, Owens
went to Soldier, and gave himself up.
It appears he had invested all the monev
that had been put in the ranch and had
also loaned Adams 1650. A Coroner's
tiry exonerated Owens.
There Will be No Glut.
Fbesno, Cal., September 9. The gen
eral report received from raisin vine
yards is that the first crop, while it is of
good quality, is falling far short of ex
pectations in the matter of amount,
One of the leading vineyards, which had
106 tons of first crop raisins last year,
has the crop now on the trays, and finds
it will amount to about eightv-five tons.
The second crop in this instance is also
ar short of that of last year. It is plain
now that even with the most favorable
weather for drying and handling the first
and second crops the output will be less
than for the past three years, and that
there will be no glut of the market.
