TEN Recruiting CAUSED BY SHIFTING OF CARGO Wine Persuns Were Drowned and the Itemain ing Four on Board Wer< Picked Up by a Life-Saving Crew. Cleveland, July 1. — Irva heavy north east gale last night, the steam barge Margaret Olwill, laden with stone f'oru Kelley’s island for Cleveland, found ered in Lake Erie, off Loraine. Nine persons were drowned. Four membeis of the crew have been picked up by passing steamers, and brought into port. The dead are: Captain John C. Braun, master, of Cleveland. Lizzie Braun, wife of the master Cleveland. Bianchard Braun, 3-year-old son. Mrs. Cora A. Hitchcock, a passenger, of Cleveland. William Doyle, fireman, Cleveland. George. Heffron, seaman, Cleveland. Frank Hipp, watchmnn, Cleveland Two seamen, names and addresser unknown. From the reports of the survivors the Oilwli’s cargo of stone shifted while the veseel was laboring in the trough of the sea. Shortly before she went down the rudder chains parted, allowing her to fall off into the trough. As the helpless craft rose on the top of a heavy sea, the stone slid to leeward, the steamer listed heavily and sank. The cabins came loose from the ba>ge and floated on the water, while the rest of the ship went to the bottom. The rescued members of tire crew were floating on the surface of Lake Erie, clinging to bits of wreckage. Their rescue was attended by exhibi tions of extreme heroism, for a heavy sea was still running when they were picked up. Captain Wi loughby, of the State of Ohio, sighted the wreckage about 5:1b this morning, directly in the course from Cleveland to Toledo. The big steamer immediately put into service her life-sav\ig crew, and after sailing around the wreckage for an hour and a half Doyle was rescued. Heff- ron was thrown a line,-but he was too weak to take hold of it, and went down in the presence of a large crowd on hoard the steamer. Several attempts were made to get the yawl into the water, but the sea was still running high, and the work was extremely per ilous. Heffron’s death was a pathetic one, for he grabbed the rope, and, being en couraged by the crowd, made a super human effort to put the lope around himself, hut he was too weak, and had to give up the desperate struggle with the waves. The rescue of Doyle was effected with difficulty. Exjfert line men walked up and down the steamer, and every time the big boat could be worked near him a line would be thrown. Finally he reached one, and quickly got it around his body. He was more dead than alive when taken in. Captain Willoughby said he did not leave the spot till he was sure that no others remained on the wreckage. A «hoot * Saloon Maa. Winnemucca, Nev., July 1.—This evening a special train containing com panies L and M, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and company K, of the Twen ty-fourth, colored regiments, arrived in Winnemucca. A number of the men left the train and raide 1 a neighboiing saloon. They wrecked the bar and stole what liquor there was in eight Chris Deien, the bartender, was shot down by one of the soldier*.

GOINGTOTAKE STRI KERS’JOBS One Woman Wnn Shot Through the Heart-The Biot Led by an Italian- Intense Excitement Prevails. Murphysboro, 111., July 3.—At 9 o'clock this morning, Conductor Wil liam Bryan's train on the Johnson City branch of the Illinois Central, bearing '47 negro mineis front Pana, was shot into by a crowd of miners at Lawder, in Williamson county. One negro wo- ’ man was killed by a bullet through her heart. The negioe* were brought by Sam T. Bush, superintendent of the St. Louis Big Muddy mines, near Carters ville, to work in his mine there, where there is now a strike. The miners, 50 in number, were armed with rifles and were hidden in the grass behind the company depot. When the train stopped the leader, an > Italian, got on the platform and com manded the negroes to get out. Con ductor Bryan interfered, but was stopped bv a revolver in his face. The train began to move aud the miners poured in a withering fire. Conductor Bryan yelled to the negroes to throw themselves on the floor. Half a mile furliter on the negroes were unloaded and placed under charge of guards. They were then marched to the mine. Intense excitement prevails in the Carterville coal field, and bloody riots are expected, ns the feeling has been intense for weeks. FIRST CASE UNDER NEW TREATY Mexico W hii O to Try Mrs. Rich for the Murder of Iler Hunband. El Paso, Tex., June 30.—The trial of Mrs. Mattie Rich has begun before the United States commissioner here to determine whether or not she shall be surtendeied to the Mexican author ities for trial at Juarez, on the charge of murdering her husband there last April. John Rich, an American citi zen, was mysteriously shot in Juarez. He was brought to El Paso in a hack next morning by his wife and died a few days later as a result of his wounds. Mexico made application for the ex tradition of the woman, who is also an American citizen, and the case has aroused widespread interest on account of its peculiar features and the fact that it is the first extradition case un der the neutrality agreement. Rich made an ante mortem statement, in which he said his wife shot him, and this was placed in evidence. The sur geon also testified, and the proceedings of the Juarez court which investigated the killing were introduced. Today Mrs. Rich will testify in her own be half. The dead man’s home was formerly at Fort Dodge, la., and his father, a banker, resides there now. At one time the deceased lived at San An tonio, Tex. Brussels, July 1.—The storm of ver bosity was renewed in the chamber of depuites today. The socialists led a cheering crowd, shouting “Vive la république,” to the park, where a conflict with gendaimes occurred. Thence the mob proceeded to the public equate, the shops closing as the lioteis appeared. The streets were filled by a shouting mob, which eventually gathered in front of the war ministry, wheie gen darmes with drawn swords attempted to disperse the rioters. At the conclusion of a great meeting in the town ball this evening, thou sands attempted to cross the Grande Place, in which the town hall stands. The gendnrmes chaiged with drawn swords, and the crowd retaliated with stones. Shots were tired on both sides. Three persons were wounded, and a po lice officer was severely stabbed with a shoemaker’s knife. The rioters on be ing dispersed, assembled at another point. A large crowd gathered in the Hue Royale, tearing up the paving atones and using these as missiles. Finally, the civic guard was ordered out to relieve the police. Despite these attempts to suppress the disturbances, rioting continued to a late hour, many persons being in jured. A tramway conductor received two bullet-wounds. Ultimately the troops were called and 35 arr"Sts were made, many of those taken into cns- todv being in possession of revolvers. The public prosecutor, with his entire staff, lemains on permanent duty at the Hotel de Ville. It is rumored that one man who was wounded has since died. ________________ Colored Soldiers Will Drowned in the l’naig. ttoclallat Row in ItelglHn Parliament Led to Rioting. New York, July 1.—The cruiser Brooklyn, which was injured off the Battery Decoration day, was taken out of the drydock at the navy-yard today, thoroughly repaired,_______ for the Philippines Begin at Once. Victoria, B. C., June 30.—Details of the drowning of five men of company G, Twelfth infantry, United States army, in the Pasig liver, June 8, were brought here from the Orient by the Bteamer Empress of China. A number of soldiers under the direction oi an officer were crossing the river on a small craft, made of bamboos lashed over small boats. The men were crossing in regular squads, but at the time of the accident the raft was over loaded and rapidly filled until it sank about 10 feet from the bank. The water was full of struggling men, fight ing against the swift current and heavy equipment, and before they could be rescued five had gone down for the last time. Four bodies have been recov ered as follows: Coiporal E. Hermann, Jasper L. Wlniius, Nels Anderson, Joseph Nune- ville. They were buried in the new national cemetery adjoining the old Spanish cemetery. REPUBLIC. The Brosklyn Repaired. Sffl INIOI MISERS' IMII MEN. Washington, June 80.—Secretary Al ger, Adjutant Corbin and Colonel Bird, assistant quartermaster general in charge of transportation, had art hour’s cosultatiott with the president to day relating to the question of reinforce ments for Genreal Otis. A definite decision was reached to continue re cruiting men at all the recruiting sta tions, and Secretary Alger said after the conference that General Otis wo rld have 40,000 when the rainy season closed for resumption of active opera tions. The enlistments are to be for service in the regular army and recruits are to be organized into regiments or assigned to regiments already formed after en listment. General Corbin said the en listments would be for two years. Ar rangements are to be made at once for increasing the transportation necessary to get these additional troops to the Philippines. The decision to reinforce General Otis by the end of the rainy season is interpreted to mean that active cam paigning will cease until the bad weather ends. By remaining quiescent under good shelter during the rainy season it is hoped that the health of our troops will be conserved and the danger from climatio fever reduced to a minimum. Later in the day it was definitely de cided to begin enlistments for the vol unteer serivce under the act of the last congress. The adjutant-general’s re ports show the regular army is up to its full authorized strength. Recruit ing officers in the principal cities of the country will be instructed immed iately to prepare to enlist volunteers. The present indications ar3 that about 10,000 men will be wanted. Volunteers will not be accepted in organizations. Secretary Alger is de ter mined to adhere to that rule. Look ing over the act of cong-ess he has con cluded that the authorization to raise these volunteer troops ‘‘at large” in dicates a purpose on the part of emi gres to follow out the plans successfully adopted in immune regiments.

The gun boat Nanidan, which accompanied the troops, visited the town of Muntiulupa, on the west -shore of the lake, and found a small body of rebels intrenched there. The intienchnrents were shelled by the Nspidan, anil when the rebels began to retreat the cavalry was land ed. The Pilipinos in firing a final vol ley killed a cavalry private. | FIGHT IS INEVITABLE. The Rebels Gathering to Attack San Fernando. Manila, July 3.—A collision between the two armies at San Fernando seems inevitable soon. The insurgents ate iactive all around the town, and can be seen working in the trenches to strengthen their position. Day and might forces are at work. It is estimated that 3.000 men were seen inarching in the road north of town yesterday morning. The Ameri cans turned out and manned tire de fenses, expecting an attack. The sol diers sleep in their clothes and break fast at 4 o’clock in the morning, so as to be ready for an assault. The commission of three Spanish officers who entered the insurgent lines a fortnigbt ago to make a final attempt to arrange for the release of the Span- islr prisoners have not returned. Their long absence has occasioned alarm, but reports come to Manila that they were reoeived by Aguinaldo at Tarlao and entertained hospitably. It is said that Aguinaldo gave a banquet in their honor, all the leading families of the rebel leadeis of the present cabinet at tending, hence the Spaniards in Ma nila hope that the mission of the com missioners will be successful. General Ovenshine is in the hospital suffering from fever. General Grant is commanding his troops on the south line. EXCLUSION A BLESSING. Americans Benefited by Having’ Been Kept Out of Atlin. Seattle, July 3.—Advices from Atlin mining district are to the effect that Judge Irving, who was sent into the district by the British Columbia gov ernment to straighten out the tangle caused by the alien exclusion act, has arrived there and Iras already settled many disputes over locations. He has decided that theorginial stakes, located before the passage of the exclusion act, shall stand, whether the locators are Americans or Canadians. Russ Humber, of Victoria, a late ar rival, says: “The condition of affaiis in Atlin is very serious. Nearly 4,500 men are in the district doing nothing. Many have run out of provisions ami money. Only a few of the claims are turning out well. I would not give over $3,000 for the best claim in the dis trict. While I am a Canadian, 1 con demn, in the strongest terms, tire ac tion of the provincial government in keeping the country closed up. Ameri cans should be thankful that the alien law kept them out.” DREYFUS IN FRANCE. Famous Prisoner Beached Rennet, Where He Will Be Tried. Rennes, France, July 3.—Captain Dreyfus has arrived here. He was landed at Quidoron, and was conveyed by train to Bruz, 12 kilometers from Rennes. There he entered a landair, accompanied by the chief of the detec tives and prefect of the departmnet, and was driven to Rennes, where 25 gendarmes waited his entrance into the town. Ten of the gendarmes entered a wagon and followed the carriage. The rest followed on foot. The party ar A French Duel. rived at the prison without incident. Paris.

London, June 80. — The Johannes burg correspondent of the Standard says’ President Krueger, it is under stool here, persists in hi* demand for arbitration as an ee-ential condition of any settlement.

STARVING Those MINERS. on Kotzebue Round Have No Money nml Ask for Relief. San Francisco, July 1.—The Asso ciated Press lias received a letter from Dr. J. 8. Stone, foriueliv a well-known physician of this city, telling of the sit uation in the Kotzebue country. The letter is dated Kowak river, Alaska, mouth of Maur eluck river, January 1, 1899. Dr. Stone says that 1,500 men paid $200 passage money to Kotzebue besides buying provisions, clothing, mining tool*, etc., on the strength of circular* issued by certain transporta tion companies announcing “The rich est gold field* in Alaska,” and offering other inducements to secure travel on their lines. The ciculars, writes Dr. Stone, were malicious lies made out of whole cloth, and no gold has been found on Kotze bue sound or either the Kowak, Ncto- ■rk or Selawik rivers, which flow into Hotham inlet, a part of the sound, or any of their tributaries in anything like paying quantities. Up to date other large rivers have been prospected with no result. One thousand holes were sunk this winter, some of them 85 feet deep, with no bedrock or color being struck. About November 1 a rush was started for the Alashook on reports being re ceived of gold being found in enoimous quantities, and hopeful prospects. Af ter journeying 16 days, outting trails, dragging heavily loaded sleds with the thermometer registering from 45 to 60 degrees below zero, we reached Beaver (L'ity, a settlement consisting of seven cabins, only to find the reports abso lutely false. The report bad been started by a merchant who bad supplies Io sell sand by a recorder of claims. Reports from other rivers are just as (li scoui aging. Of 1,500 men who came here proba bly half have returned; the remainder are here waiting fol the ice to break up and for the possible airival of a vessel to take them back to civilization. 'This country is cold and pioduces noth ing to sustain life. Of the men who are here not 50 have means to get away and must, unless the United States government sends one of its transports heie, die of cold or starve. One-half of the terrible suffering of the people in this district has not been told. The last news received from the states arrived on the steamer Grace Dollar, and the last papers are dated June 20, 1898. We do not know if we belong to Spain, Germany or the Uni ted States Mr. Stone wished the fact of the ne cessity of governmental aid impressed upon the people until necessary aid is sent to distressed Americans who were hoodwinked by the transportation com panies. FIRST VOLUNTEERS, General Otis' Skeleton Regiments Wilt lie Filled. Washington, July 1.—The first vol unteers to be raised for services in the Philippines will be those for the skele ton regiments now being formed by General Otis. It is not believed there will be the least difficulty in obtaining these men. It is probable that some time will elapse before the troops of the provis ional army are sent to Manila, but, meanwhile, they will be drilled and taught marksmanship in camp. It is estimated that three months are re quired to make soldiers of recruits. The officers of the war department think that a number of volunteers now coming home will desire to return to the Philippines for a short service after they have had an opportunity to see home and friends. They are regarded as the most desirable for the regiments being organized by General Otis. The Situation In France. London, July 1.—A representative ol the press saw Senator Depew today. He said: "1 have just returned from Paris and Brussels, where I picked up my son. who is now thoroughly restored tc health, and who embarks with me Sat urday for New York. “The situation in Paris, which it equivalent to France, seems gradually becoming broader. All this spasmodic upset, this changing of mininsters, the cries from the housetops are surely laying the foundation of making men divide eff into those cognate parties which, w.ll defined, will, in my opin ion, yet raise France into ami keep her in the front rank.” A llourgojnc llaning.

BUSINESS IN ALASKA. I Development Take* the Place of the Mini Kunli— New Biscov- eriet Being Macle. Captain Dwight Hunt, with two companions, has been in llaines thia week, outfitting for a piospeoting tour in the Poicupine mining district, says the Porcupine (¿uill. Captain Hunt and party represent an extensive com pany, known as the Jack Crawford (poet and scout) party that went to the Hootalinqua last season over the Dyes route, equipped with dredgeis, and who have been unsuccessful in the Yukon arid ate trying the present sea son to retrieve their ill luck by operat ing in the Atlin and Forty-Mile dig gings in the Yukon. Attiacted by fa vorable reports from the Porcupine dis trict, the manager of the company, Henry M. Wallace, a prominent lawyer of Ann Arbor, Mich., placed a detail of opeiators under charge of Captain Hunt, who is an experienced prospec tor, and sent them here to prosecute intelligent examination of the quartz and placer claims in American Alaska in this vicinity. They are also going to give special examination of the hy draulic propositions which are reported favorable. In event they are success ful in their search they will brrng in a large outfit this season of modern hy draulic machinery and neimaneutiy establish the headquarters of the com pany— which have a large capital at their control—under the Stars and Stripes, and abandon the Northwest Territory propositions, where they are sorely handicapped by unjust discrim inations and exactions. The party will be ready to start early next week, and are now getting their boats and outfits over the trail to the Cliilcat liver. flay Crop in Fine ( onditlon. Reports from all over Oregon re- reived at the weather bureau ¡milcats that the h <v crop of the state is in fine condition. In fact, many declare that it was never belter. It is late in prost localities, but it is good everywhere. i The recent rains have uot injured ths crop to any noticeable extent. Har vesting had already begun when th* rains came, but the wet weather did ' not last long enough nor was the rain fall sufficient to hurt the hay that been ’ cut.
