K ell.f P H .on .ra , of P ltt.O u rf Pittsburg, July SO.— Oneof the bold est and most systematic plans for the release of oue or more prisoners from Riverside penitentiary was thwarted today by accident. The first theory udvauced, when the matter was die covered, seemed to poiut to the release of Alexander lterkmau, the anarchist, who is serving a 22-year sentence for the shooting of H. C. Frick, during tiie big Homestead strike of 1892, but the conclusion reached tonight by Director Muth, of the Alleghany police depart ment, is that the real object of the res- cueis was to secure the freedom of the real estate swindler, J. C. lloyd, w ho is serving a seven-year sentence in the penitentiary. This opinion is shared by the Pittsburg police officials also, aud many reasons a1.« brought forward to confirm ths theory. Among these are the fact that Boyd is wanted in nearly every state in the Union ou charges of real estate swindles, as confederates all over the country, and is accounted one of the wealthiest pris oners in Riverside. It is argued that Berkman’s ftiends could not affoid the expensive outfit which was used in this instance, and their resources conld not possibly equal those of Boyd’s confed erates. The plan by which the rescuers hoped to reach the inside of the peni tentiary wall was by a tunnel from the cellar of a house on Sterling street, nearly opposite one of the gates. Their work is remarkable, considering the obstacles to be overcome. Investiga tion today shows that the tunnel was over 200 feet long, bat becaase of its zig-zag character had not reached the prison wall. One of the officers who crawled a distance of 201 feet in the dark passageway today was compelled to return before reaching its end by reason of the foul gas arising. From this it is inferred that the tunnel had tapped a sewer. Director Muth, how ever, believes that the dead body of oue of the tuuuelers w ill be discovered tomorrow when the tunnel is opened from the surface. He thinks the man was overcome by gas, and that his companions fled. The elaborate arrangements that had been made for completing the tnnuel and for providing for the safety of the diggers is a source of amazement to the authorities. An electrio bell, con nected with the entrance of the tunnel iu tho collar, was used iu giving the workers and watchers an instant warn ing, and au air pump had been used to keep the tunnel free from gas. It is estimated that the electric plant and either apparatus used cost the would-be liberators at least 92 . 000 . F R ID A Y , C oIIapu e SUDDEN AUGUST 3, 1900.

New York, July 80.— Consul-General Espionla, of the republic of Colombia, said today of the revolution in Panama: “ 1 think it is all over. Eight hundred government troops met 1,200 insurgents and either killed or wounded 400 of them. Reinforcements for the govern ment came just then. General Cainpok bringing 1,000 additional troops.

Washington, July 80.— Commis sioner Hermann, of tbe general laud office, I ihh decided to continue for a reasonable time the suspension of aliont 50 whole townships in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Visalia land dis tricts in California, from disposition under the agricultural law, on represen tations that they contain valuable nil deposits. A thorough inquiry into the true character of the lands is now in progress. Petitions and sworn protests have been posted with the general land office, Hefting out that vast areas of non-agncultnral lands in California have every indication of containing val uable dejsisits of oil. The land office last February ordered the suspension of these townships, in view of the con troversy over their value as oil lands. The action is in line with a recent de cision of Judge Ross, of the United States circuit court for the southern district of Californa.

Chicago, July 28.— Drawn into ths maelstrom of the great windage basis of the drainage canal at Lockpoit, car ried 20 feet beneath the aurfaoe of ths whirlpool; rislug again, only to be caught bv the current that was pouring hundreds of thousands of cubio feet ol water into the valley below, and hurled through tbe groat sluicegate opening and carried 200 feet through the foaming rapids ol the open chan nel, to be finally rescued alive and in a fair way to recovery was the experience of Peter Simth, of Joliet. Miohuel Ryan, who is superintending the work at the controlling works, and his as sistant, John Herman, escaped the same perilous journey by a narrow mar gin. The* whirlpool in the windage basin has been cause by the raising of the bear-trap dam and the opening of the sluice gates, through which it was originally intended that the greater portion of the 860,000 onbio feet of water should flow every minute. The bear trap had been raised above the surface of the basin in order that the big force of men working on tbe false work of the proposed suspension bridge conld proceed with the operations with out endangering their lives. Smith, Ryan and Herman were in a boat crossing over the basin, and had their back to the whirlpool. Suddenly the bout was sucked in to the mael strom. Herman aud Ryan sprang into the water and swam to the shore, but Smith was thrown by the force of the whirling boat into the whirlpool, dis appearing from sight instantly. Down through 20 feet ol water he shot. With tremendous force he was caught by the current and hurled through the gates. Luckily his knee was the only portion of his body to come iu contact with anv of the ma sonry, otherwise he certainly would have been crushed to death. Below the gate he was caught in the rapids and carried 200 feet through the swirl ing, turbulent waters, tossed about like a rubber ball. Finally his feet struck the rocks in the shallow, and he managed to hold ou until rescuers reached him. ACTED UNDER ORDERS.
