It Is the opinion of liplom.it h-re that the Japanese have? made a grave error in Making the transport Kow Shiug. an ! one that I likely to cost them much money in reparation, beside the humiliation of an apology. The Kow Shiny was of a line of roasting Pteamr belonging to Hugh Mathl.-on & 'o., of llnsrland. and trading Ix-twcen fhinese Irt. The vessel wan under the llrltlh Hag when she was sunk. Although she carriel fbines troops to ora. it Is sail here that fhe .ill not. in so doing, violate the law of neutrality, for there had been no tkcliration of war or open acknowledgment by either China, or Japan that a state of war prevail. The vessel, therefore, was engaged In If Kitim.it tratt'w, anl the Japa-r.'-se are likely to pay dearly for sinking her and Jcstroyirig the live of the .chip's company. An interesting explanation of the present attitude of Japan toward China WrU furnished by a diplomats of much exXerlence in Asiatic aftalrs. He first pointed out the fact that internal condition in Japan a r- and have I --r i for some time very much disturbed. There ha beea great friction between the Mikado and hi Cabinet the one and th Parliament and j,j,i- on the other. This steadily Inircayed until the? Parliament actually Iissnl jt resolution r-iu-stlnK th Mika)' to remove hi Cabinet and replace U by other men more nearly In accord with the'r ida. which are distinctly reactionary and marked by resentment of the presence of foreigners in Japan and the extension of modern civilizin.tr system. The Kmjror'H answer came quick and sharp in t decree, proroguing the I'arllanent. This added to the itopuiar feeling of dlssiitisfaction, and the government became alarmed. The date of election of the new Parliament bean to draw near, and some heroic measure was necessary to prevent an overwhelming defeat, the result of which inlKht be to turn Japan backward in the inarch toward civilization and perhaps overthrow th Kmperor himself. The Japanese relation. with Corea growing out of the obstacles to trad-? with that country with it limitation on the fisherle and on; the number of ports open b Japanese trade were in a very unsatisfactory state, and this, with the State of domestic affairs, led the Japanese government to adopt very vigorous foreign policies In which It is quite sure of ipular support.

Thy Japanese government has officially communicated to the legation here the fact of the encounter between the Japanese and Chinese off the coast of Corea, which has been fully described in the press dispatches. The cablegram containing the Information was dated the 13th, was very brief and simply stated that in the encounter the Japanese were compelled on account of great provocation to attack the Chinese. The dispatch came by way of .St. Petersburg, and its receipt bre Indicate that telegraphic communication Is still open. Another dispatch received at the legation from Toklo report; that on the 5 1 Inst, everything was quiet at ieoul. This news telng a week old shows that there 1 some Interruption in communication between the latter place and Japan. Advices received In this city recently are to the effect that the Corean government has assented to practically all the demands for internal reform made by Japan, thus confirming the dispatches of a week ago. These reforms have been outlined In the press dispatches, and are such, the Japanese government claims, as will bring about a condition of affairs that will put the country on a better footing and make unlikely the repetition of recent conflicts by which the foreign Interests Buffered. Mr. (lozo Tateno, the Japanese minister, presented his letters of recall to the President to-day. lie was accompanied to the White House by Secretary (iresham. There 'was the usual exchange of speeches between the Piv.-ident and the minister, and the sieethe made clear the fact that the minister' recall was In no way due to any friction between the two governments, or between the minister and the diplomatic oflieers of the Cnited States. Mr. Tateno, In taking leave of the President, said: "In saying good-bye to you. Mr. President, although the occasion Is not one which call for a formal utterance. I can not refrain from expressing to you my personal appreciation of the unvarying kindness anil consideration for which ! am indebted to you and to the honorable Secretary of State. I may be pinioned if I see In the treatment that has been accorded to me the evidence? of your desire to increase the relations of cordial good will which exist between our countries. For the perpetuation of those relations I could wish no stronger guarantee than 1 to be found In the spirit manifested on all occasions by yourself and the officers of your government." In response the President said: "Mr. Minister You have resided so long at this capital and your ollicial duty has been mo well and ho courteously discharged that you have won the respect and esJeem of those among our people with whon you have been assocrtaed and made your departure from our country a matter of sincere regret.

I am pleased to bear witness to your conscientious fulfillment of your representative task as well as to the personal courtesy which has made your relations with this government most agreeable. "I trust. Mr. Minister, that you will lose no opportunity to make our friendly fentlnients known to your countrymen, and that you will assure your sovereign and his advUers of the heartfelt wishes of the government and people of the l'nlted tftates for the peace, prosperity and hapXin'e of Japan." The retiring minister will leave here tvith hi family to-morrow night for San Kran Cisco, where he will take the steamer claeilc for Japan. 1 Hiring the interim between hi departure and the arrival of the new m'nlster Mr. Miyaoka, the secretary of legation, will act as charge d'affaires.

Martz. of Hong Kong, who arrived In Chicago to-day en route to Paris, an J who own a large line of steamers plying between Tonquln and Hong Kong, expressed the tllef that Japan will be a victor in the war with China if the struggle I a short one. "The Japanese are much the better fighters." said Mr. Martz. "and have a much superior navy. The chin ese, however, have the advantage in large number, great A-ealth and unlimited credit, and should the war be a long one the forces of the Mikado are likely to be deflated.

The steamship (Jaelic, from Hong Kong and Yokohama, brought only twenty-seven passengers, and had but five whites, fourteen Japanese and one Chinese In the steerage. This is the first time in the history of the steamship service between her' and Hong Kong that so few Chinese have come to San Francisco. The explanation is given by the omer of th Oaelie in the fact that all able-Kdie Chinese were delayed pending the outcome of negotiations that were Kolns: on l-t Affn China and Japan when the steamer was in Chinese waters. A number of merchants and students wanted to come to San Francisco, but the Chinese authorities would not issue them tassjorts. As a result of the war both the Pacific Mall and the Occidental and Oriental companies expect their steamers to corne in in the future almost bare of Chinese passengers. Inltt(c thf lint for .Fiipnn.

IIAI.I" MILLION LOSS, Third DlHiiNtrou Fire in the HUlory of 3IIiiiiiiio1I MINNEAPOLIS, July 30. The third disastrous lire in the history of Minneapolis broke out about 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in the lumber yards of the Shevllne-Car-penter Company on the bank of the Mississippi river at the foot of Eighth avenue north. It spread with remarkable rapidity and before it was controlled destroyea property valued at nearly fioO.oiio. uesides twenty million feet of lumber, the gas manufacturing plant of the Omaha Railroad Company, the roundhouse, toolhouse, sandhouse and turn tables of that road, nearly forty freight cars, some loaded with merchandise and the office building of the Shevline-Carpenter Company were burned. The sawmill, the planing mill, drying kilns and storehouse for molding and preparing wood, although In the very heart of the fire district, were saved. Help was summoned from St. Paul and seven engines with full .crew were sent out from that city. Insurance will be about ;Tj0.mx. The lire caused the greatest excitement and brought tens of thousands of people to the scene from within a radius of a score of miles. It was not long after the Maze was first noticed when the heat became so Intense that the crowds were forced back, and It was well they were, because in less than an hour two tanks containing gas used by the Omaha Railroad Comiumy in lighting their Cars under the Pintsch system exploded with terrific force, hurling fragments of steel a long distance. One piece weighing fully five hundred pound. was carried several blocks and dropped In the railroad yards. A stationary lxdler also exploded, but caused no loss of life. Employes of the railroad company, at the risk of their lives, and with hand and faces blistered by the fearful heat, rushed Into the fiercest of the flame and saved ten dead locomotives and nearly one hundred cars. i:C CLAIRE THREATENED.

Conroy, who had been drinking, swam far beyond the limits, and the undertow was swiftly bearing him beyond reach. Among the bathers were most of the New York team. As It was observed that Conroy was unable to help himself, a mighty shout went up for the life-saving guard. A couple of red-shirted guards raced into the water, carrying a life-preserver, which was rapidly unwound from a reel of live hundred yards of line. Eddie Burke grabbed the preserver from the hands cf the guard and threw It straight as an arrow at Conroy'a head. Conroy had Just strength enough left to grasp it. and he never let ko.

Neill, the well-known cotton statistician, has issued a circular letter, which will be published to-morrow, estimating the cotton acreage for the growing crop at :M.000.u00 acres, and the probabe out-turn of the growing cotton crop only 10 per cent, better yield per acre than last year, as at least S.lioo.uoo bales. In this he allows 2.4.,cciO for Texas and C&Mkr) bales for all other States. In putting forth these figures Mr. Neill qualities them by paying that it is Impossible at this early1 date to forecast .rr.'.i'lni' inw i f li pfftaintV. Ild th:li while this suggestion of crop is given a.s a conservative calculation of probabilities it must not b forgotten that the promise to-dav is equal or superior to any previous crop in every State, and that if each State should realize a product eo.ual to Its pre. vious best crop we should have an average pro-iuci !:i lor me coumrj m .w ihui m fiacre, which, on ;.'l.n,eoo acre.'-, would give a crop of about '.urnuM) hales, of course much occurs to blight this brilliant prospert, but the eondliions at present, he sa. are so tool that nothing but a calamity, siiv h as. with perfect condition at so late a period, rarety occurs, could bring the crop down to ren so low a figure as S..".!K.in i,,i:e: Mr. Neill figures that the basi of h.'ne.ixM bales crop, allowing American spinners to take .k more in ll-'.'.'i than the past year, and with European consumption and supply from other countries the same as during the current year, there will b left over w- be a ided to the visible supply more than l.oto.coi bales excess by Sept. 1.1 :.". compared to S-'pt. 1. ivl. unless such a decline m prices should occur as would stimulate omM.mption and Induce spinners to carry very lare Invisible stocks. t;tOu l.iMirNt JliiM the War. 1AND.

Jack at that place. The warrant 1 a result of the adoption of resolutions at a ppfcial meeting of the Council this afternoon charslng the Mayor with issuing city warrant for the payment of corporate funds to persons to whom the ham? was not owing.

A prellm'nary hearing will be given and an ytUmpt made to bind him to the grand jury'- The City Council has refused to confirm appointments to the i)lice force lately, maintaining that the city is without police service, and. as a result, would make no appropriation for that department. Five of the Council are accredited with being socialistic in their views, and want to do away with the police department entirely. The Mayor has taken the matter Into his own hand and issued orders for police salarics without permission of the Council. PRESENTED AT COURT IT CAN RH DOM: I STYLIJ FOIt THIS MODUST SI M OF ?.'I75. Costly Flxlngrn Xrefswiry Before lielug; Introduced to Queen Victoria ou State OccnHlona. Detroit Free Press. "I should say," remarked the woman in the white wicker armchair, as she deftly dropped two extra lumps into her tea and knitted her eyebrows thoughtfully, that a presentation at Queen Victoria's court requires an outlay of all of $373. I have been to Buckingham Palace for three such functions, and I never did it for less, which Is more than my wedding finery cost. There are women who have done it for less, but it is a pinch, and I shouldn't like to try. You see, you simply can't go in a goA'n that has ever been worn before, nor in a costume that is not made of the very best materials. You can't, because you will perish of shame when you tdand In line with women who are in the richest and freshest that Lyons looms and French dressmakers can turn out. Any woman has sense enough to recognize that It is better not to go at all than go inadequately, to stand in the fierce light reflected from the throne. "Having this conviction firmly fastened in your mind, consult some French dressmaker of note in London, and look over samples of brocade, satin, velvet and silk, ranging In price from $3 to $6 a yard. If you are an unmarried woman, anywhere on the sunny side of sixty, you wear white. Debutantes look at tulle, and silk, and lace, and wreaths of French flowers, silver embroidery, iearls and ribbons, and middleaged matrons ionder over velvet, purple, red, black, "etc. ; young married persons go In for the heavy white brocades or brocades with colored flowerings. "Now, the result of long nours of solemn consideration among billows of splendid fabrics sends you contemplatively off you wonder In what humor one's obliging papa or generous husband will accept the news that one cannot be made decent for court on less than &JoO. One must appear as well as the other women, the Queen exacts- that one's train lie for three yards on the floor, and the end of expense Is not yet. "The order for the gown is given a full month beforehand, and that Is well, considering the rush at the dressmakers'. Next one goes to give one's order for a bouquet. Only a leading florist can supply the huge shower bouquet of white flowers that costs Si'o. COIKHCOUS BOUQUETS. "One never sees such bouquets in this country beautiful cascades of flowers built on a frail foundation of chiffon and trailing from one's hand to the floor. In London women always carry huge bouquets to every function during all seasons, so that bouquet building has become a great art with them. "At the glovers one must have a vastly long pair of $T gloves, lovely things, to wrinkle up to one's shoulders nearly. To a French bootmaker a suilicient piece of one's gown material must be taken to make one's slippers that cost at least $7 or J.v "Lastly, one makes an appointment with a court hairdresser, who charges about S3. Bight dollars covers the cost of the three feathers and veil. A good public stable is sought out and arrangements are perfected to have a big carriage sent one by y o'clock the morning of 4.he drawing room. "Because he is expected to send one of his very perfect establishments and cause the carriage, both delivering one at ana taking one from the palace, must stind in line for hours, the stable keeper asuS not less than ?1) for the service. "Reckon all those amounts up, and the result is approximate to my first statement, is it not? There are few loopholes for economy, for certain things you must have or you will never kiss the Queen's hand. One's train must fall from the shoulders, so that its spread on the floor includes a vast stretch of costly goo7s live yards lonp: by two wide. The gown must be cut out below the point of the shoulders. "Have you never noticed. In all pictures of royalty in evening dreFs, that the women Invariably wore their bodices cu: so? The fashion of 1S30 in that respect has never been changed, and though we ordinary persons wear straps, shoulder puffs, square neck, and the rest of it. fun dress for any Kuropean court means literally bare shoulders. Anotner exaction is the placing of feathers and veil. Only a court hairdresser knows how to accomplish it to the Queen's taste, and the Queen, though her taste may not be good, demands that her ideas be followed to tne last letter. WITH BAUi; SHOULDERS. "Only a physician s certltlcate entit'es one to appear at a drawing room with cov ered shoulders. The certificate must be procured in advance and sent to the Lord Chamberlain, who asks the Queen's con sent. Often enough she refuses. It does seem petty, doesn't It? "Please ;lve me another cup of tea and I'll tell you how an old Scotch countess outwitted her Majesty. The countess was sixty, a tall, thin old grenadier of a Seou-h woman, very dignified, and In I.tndon with a pretty grand. laughter under her wing to present. She begged leave to wear a highnecked gown. The court chamberlain asked if she was too ill to wear a lownecked one. " 'Certainly not,' said the old lady, "out I don't want to exhibit my venerable throat to a crltieal world and Imperil mv good health by coming out on a raw March day with bare shoulders." "Nevertheless, the Cjueen forbade her to come in a high-necked frock. So what did the countess do but have made an unusually splendid gown, cut after the approved fr.s'iion. under the decollate bodice of whicn was seen the warm neck and sleeves of a stout, honest, knitted merino undershirt. "A gorgeous necklace of diamond glittered on the old lady's merino-shlrted bosom, and long bracelets on her Ijr.g. ve!lcovered arms.

IN ANCIENT QUARRIES ! HOW Til H OLII Kr.YI'TIAXS SKCl UCl) MATERIAL FOR III ILDINt;. The i:plorntioim Show OhelUkm Cut Out tltli CliUeln Toolo I'ftcil Made uf Bronze nml Iron. The monolithic statues, temples and obelisks of Egypt. India ami Asia Minor have been sources of wonder for ages. With none of the devices familiar to modern engineer ing available, how was it possible to cut J out these enormous masses of rock, mold I them into shape and transport them lon distances to the places selected for them? Later-day research has solved many of the problems of ancient mechanics, and W. F. Durfee, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, in an article on "The Quarrying Methods of the Ancients," published In the July number of the Engineering Magazine, throws considerable light upon this interesting subject. Mr. Durfee says: The methods of obtaining stone for general building purposes by the ancients have become known to us by the explorations which have been made in the early Egyptian quarries, and in what may with propriety be called stone mines. Of the latter, the workings at Tourah and Massourah, in the Mokattan range of hills, south of Cairo, from which the whole of the limestone used in the pyramids was obtained, are good examples. These stone mines were opened and worked In this way: A u cry about twenty feet wide and high was run from the face of the cliff, in a carefully-selected stratum of rock (in this case a fine-grained nummulitic limestone) deep Into the heart of the mountain. In driving this gallery the workmen excavated a recess, or "heading," at its top, high enough for them to work in and of the full width of the gallery, and they carried this heading far enough forward to enable them to cut a groove vertically downward behind the first block of stone that was to be taken out. While this wa3 being done other workmen were cutting vertical grooves on each side of the gallery from the heading to the gallery floor. At the same time a groove was cut at the level of the floor connecting the two flanking grooves. The mass of stone bounded by the three grooves and the headings was then divided Into such sized blocks as was desired, the upper block being lirst removed, and as soon as it was out of the way the heading was pushed forward. After the entrance gallery had advanced a sufficient distance from the face of the cliff another gallery was opened at right angles to it and extended on either hand, and at the distance of twenty feet another gallery was driven parallel to the last, and still other galleries parallel with the first, until finally, by a rectangular system of intersf-otlng galleries, a very large space In the interior of the mountain was converted Into an enormous hall, the roof of which was supported by pillars twenty feet square, standing twenty feet apart. REMOVING THE STOXKS. The stone excavated was all removed through the entrance of the first gallery, which was often at a. considerable height above the face of the cliff, a ramp having been constructed from the entrance of the workings, down which stone was dragged on sledges by men or by oxen. The ancient quarrymen, in driving galleries, were accustomed to trim the roof to the required level, and on it was then drawn a center line in red, and the sides of the .gallery were then trimmed vertically in planes parallel to this center line. The open quarries of Egypt are vast Intagloa cut deep in the living rock by a skill wuose evidence in tool marks and drill holes, in the selection of good materials and the rejection of bad remains after the lapse of more than three thousand years to excite our wonder that such achievements were possible without tne aid of power drins or explosives. Crauite in larsie masses was always obtained by the Egyptians from open quarries, the most famous of whicn were at Syene (.hence the word "syenite." designating a variety of granite composed of quartz, hornblende and feldspar) in upper E'jyiu near the first cataract of the Nile. .The methods adopted for the horizontal quarrying of granite blocks of ordinary size was to cut a narrow groove two or three Inches deep parallel with a vertical face of rock at such distance as the width of the desired stone required; In the bottom of this groove rectangular holes were nude about two Inches long, one Inch wide and two inches deep; these were usually placed about four Inches apart; dry wooden plugs were then driven tightly Into tne-'e holes and the spaces between them in the groove first mentioned filled with water; and the txpansion of the plugs as they absorbed this water split the stone in the line of the holes. No more uniform an 1 simple application of sufficient force for the punose could possibly have been devised. The Egyptian method of quarrying out an obelisk from a granite ledj;e Is weil illustrated by the enormous partially finished monolith still remaining in the quarry at Syene. This obelisk would have been, if completed (It Is still attached to the floor of the quarry), larger than any now known. According to Wilkinson It measures ninetylive feet long and is eleven feet one and one-half Inches square at the base, and weighs l.rd'i.OuO pounds, or 770 tons net. It was brought to Its present condition by carefully excavating the rock on either side of It, dressing the sides and upper surface to their Intended form, and running a groove along each side to the floor of the quarry, preparatory to the Introduction of wooden plugs for separating it from the bed-rock in the manner already stated. But these plugs have never been fashioned, and the vast mass has told the succeeding generations for unknown thousands of years of the technical methods of men who wrought long prior to the time when "Solomon's builders and Hiram's builJera and stonepn.ua rers" Rave clkmt-nslons and beauty to the silently assembled details of the grand temple of the wise King. ROCK WORK IN INDIA. Hindostan abounds in examples of rockcut or quarried temples and shrines, and a view of one of these, the Kylas Temple, at Ellora, Illustrates the marvelous skill of the ancient Hindoos in the tartd of quarrying and ornamental work of stone. This is cut out cf the solid granite rook with wonderful elaboration of detail. The quad rangular pit in which this temple stands has on lis side and rear end (its front being open rock-cut colonnades and cloisters. the columns of whicTi support the ierpendicular rock above. The temple is supposed to have been quarried out -to commemorate the triumph -of the Sivites over the Bud dhist faith. Toe tools used by the Egyptians for quarrying and stone cutting were sometimes made of bronze and sometimes of iron Herodotus states positively that iron tool were used In the work on the great pyramid, which is probaly the oldest structure erected by man now remaining. Anion the ruins of Naucratis t'l'jo li. C there wens found a few years since, in what up pe.ired to be the remains of a tr mufactory i of Iron 'implements, twenty-eight, iron or j stc?l chiseis ev.dently designed for cutting i stone or iron, in addition to too;., iron. l steel and bronze, the early Egyptian work- ! ers in stone without doubt employed tools similar to the "diamond drills" and "dia- ! mond saw." of our day. It Is not certain i that the diamond was the jewel used to ! arm these implements, but it is certain thai the Egyptians were acquainted with a cutting jewel far harder than quartz. That the blades of the saws were of bronze is proven J by "the green staining on the sides of the : saw-cuts." The forms of the tools In which : Jewel cutting points were employe-d "were t straight saws, circular saws, tubular elrills , and turning tools for lathes." "The straight I saws arit-d from C-lwths to J-Mths Inch ! thick." "The largest were eight feet or i to. .re in lenu'th." For dressing stone the I points, chisels and mallets were quite similar in shape to those employed at the pres ent time. In India a peculiar hammer and chisel seem to have been used, the hammer being quite different from the wooden mallet employd by the ancient Egyptians. Alexander Kennedv. Esq.. states that "the only tools which tiiey ithe Indian stone dressers) em

ploy are a small s;eel chisel and an Iron mallet. The chisel is short, tapfrs to a round io'nt like that of a drawing pencil, and this 1 believe to be the only snape given to the joints of their chisels. The mallet I have seen is cf iron. It Is somewhat lonqer than the chisel: its weisht cinr.ot exceed a few pounds. The head, set on at right angles to the handle, may be from two to three Inches long. It has only one striking, face. The striking face is formed into deep hollow, which Is lined with lead. Having with these two instruments only brought the stor.e to a smooth surface. It next undergoes the dressing with wafr in the usu il manner w ith masons. "It now only remains to apply the black shining polish, which is done as follows: A block of granite of considerable size is rudely fashioned into the tdinpe f the cud of a large pestle, the lower face Is hob loved out into a cavity, and this Is filled with a mass composed of owdered corundum stone mixed with beeswax. This block is moved by means of two slicks, or pieces cf bamboo placed on each s! Me ot its neck, and bound together by cords twisted and tightened by sticks. Th weight of the whole is as much as twt workmen can easily manage. They seat themselves upon or close to the stone they are to polish, and. by moving the block backward and forward between them, the polish Is given by the friction of the mass of wax and corundum."

As the result of a bloody shooting affray which took place just over the line in Pawnee county, and fourteen miles south of this city, today, two men are now dead and two seriously wounded. Charles Schultz, a rich German farmer, witn his two pons, Charles and Frank, live neighbors to James Abbott, a well-to-do and respected farmer. The neighbors lately had a good deal of trouble on account of Abbott allowing his hogs to run at large and trespass on the fields of Schultz. Forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and this morning the elder Schultz, with his son Charles, loaded a double-barreled shotgun and Parted on the war-path for Abbott's porcines. Abbott learned of the maneuver and as the men came towards his hog lot he advanced to protect his property. Young Schultz was carrying the gun at the time, and at the tight of his neighbor the old man exclaimed: "There is the himself; give him the load," whereupon young Schultz emptied both barrels of the gun at Abbott, one charge hitting him and thirty-seven No. 6 shot entered his left side and hip. Abott was brought to this city In a dy ing condition and Sheriff J. G. Slone. of Pawnee, informed of the condition of affairs. Sheriff Slone, accompanied by half a dozen deputies, immediately departed to arrest the Schultzes. He wired Sheriff W. II. Woolsey. of this county, to bring a deputy and come down. Woolsey and his deputy reached the Schultz home fully half an hour before Slone did. Woolsey en deavored to get Schultz and son to accompany him either to Tecumsea or Pawnee City, but the elder Schultz refused to go. Woolsey was powerle'ss. as he desired to go, but sal I he was afraid of being mobbed. Old man Schultz produced a gun and ordered Woolsey and his deputy off the farm, but Woolsey talked him out of committing any rash act. Woolsey and his deputy started for Pawnee City to meet Sheriff Slone. Fpon meeting Slone they returned to the scene. Slone had sent men Into the farm from every direction that the men might not escape. In the meantime Schultz, with h: sons, had started in a buggy west from the farm, hoping to escape, but at a corner they met three of the deputies. Clift Taylor, Jack Casford and H. Runion. They turned south before the deputies and a. lively chase for nearly a miie followed. Finally, as the deputies were being outrun, they ordered the fugitives to halt. They refused and the deputies all fired at them. The old man, who was in the back seat, was shot through the back and. through the head. His son Charles was shot in the shoulder, but escaped to the woods. Franx was captured and brought to this city. The elder Schultz was removed to Ste'.naur, where he died at 11 o'clock to-night. Abbott lies in a critical condition at the Jn 11 here. A big nos n -f scouring the country in search of Charles. Meeting of the Implement TruM. CHICAGO. July 30. The executive committee of the recently organized National Association of Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements and Vehicles met here to-day and arrange-d to hold the first annual convention of the association in this city on Oct. 9. Delegates representing over one thousand manufacturers in all parts of the country are expected to attend. The object of the convention will b to secure legislation favorable to the Interests represented, and vigorous protests will be made, the olPeers say. against the niacins of agricultural implements oa the free list.

The result of Adjutant-general Robblns'a Sunday at Hammond was made apparent yesterday when the last two companies were withdrawn from that point and sent home. The sheriff of Iake county and the Mayor of Hammond thought the troops should be kept there another week, but the head of Indiana's militia believed otherWise. He Is well pleased at the conduct of the trocps while there, and says there was not an order given them that waj disobeyed in any particular. Only five Indiana soldiers lost their positions by serving the State. The Mayor of Hammond ha added twenty special police to his regular force, which. It Is thought, will be suilicient to control th situation. No further trouble Is anticipated. IteMuIt of Habit. Judge.
