His Fears In Vain.

Frank R. Lawrence, president of the Lotus Club, recently related the adventure of a New Yorker who was in love, but very bashful. Finally he made up his mind to write his proposal to the young lady. After sending it, he began to worry as to the possibility of a refusal, and at last concluded to send the following telegram: “Serious mistake. Have sent you wrong letter. Please return it without reading.” He was very much relieved to receive the following reply: “Too late. No mistake. Right letter mailed. It was about time.”—New York Times.

Postmaster at this counts himself a very fortunate man, Mr. Dreunau in addition to being postmaster is a justice of the peace, a member of the Christian Church and a highly respected and useful citizen.

TREASURE SHIP FROM ALASKA DRIFTING HELPLESSLY IN SEA OF ICE.

The old treasure ship Portland of the Alaska run, which brought to Seattle nine tons of gold in 1897 and set the whole world of argonauts frantic, has receiitly been fast in ice in Behring Sen, drifting toward the mysterious and unknown waste of iee and water about the north pole, carrying with her 100 passengers, a crew of ninety men and 1,100 tons of freight, bound for Nome. Captain Daniels of the Nome City brought down the report, and stated that the last seen of the Portland she was enveloped in the iee pack, drifting past the Diomede Islands in Behring straits to the Arctic ocean. Two other vessels went through the hazardous experiences of the Portland, the Nome City and the old Jeannette, the whaler upon which Admiral Schley went to the relief of the Greely expedition. The JeaTufette is a wooden schooner, built whaler fashion, with all her surfaces sloping to the keel, so that if caught in the ice she would be lifted upon it, and thus be saved from the inevitable crushing between masses of bergs and float. The Nome City is a new wooden steam vessel, schooner built, all her timbers beiug of quarter-sawed oak; she has a bow built up solid for fourteen feet, of solid oak, and over all carries a sheathing of Australian irOuwood, ten inches thick. Her rudder and wheel have been inclosed to port and starboard, so that the ice will not carry thern away. These two vessels made the early fleet last year. The two vessels of the first fleet got through so happily last year that the Portland, now owned by the Northern Commercial Company, was sent with them this year. It was on the return of the Nome City, after this first voyage, that the misfortune of the Portland was reported. When the Nome City left Nome, according to Captain Daniels’ report, the Thetis, a revenue cutter, had gone to attempt a rescue of the passengers and crew before the vessel should b crushed in the iee. If any human ugeney can effect n rescue of that imperiled lot of humanity the Thetis can do it. and it is an even chance that she will be

CORN CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.

Mnch Diversity Found in Condition of Growing Wheat and Oats. According to the weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop conditions, very favorable temperature prevailed during the week in all districts east of the Rocky Mountains, with the exception of the central and east gulf States, which have suffered somewhat from excessive heat. A considerable portion Of these last mentioned districts has, however, received much-needed ruins, relieving to a great extent the severe drought that has prevailed for several weeks, although more rain is greatly needed in some sections. Heavy rains have continued in the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys and portions of the lake region, delaying cultivation and causing destructive freshets in places. The central and ' southern Rocky Mountain regions have suffered somewhat from low temperatures and frosts. Highly favorable conditions prevailed on the Pacific coast. The corn crop as a whole in the principal corn States has made very favorable progress, although needing cultivation in portions of the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys and lake region as a result of continued rains, which have also reduced the acreage somewhat in lowa. In the Southern States late corn has improved somewhat, but the early crop, is very poor. In New England, New York and North Dakota corn is very backward. Winter wheat harvesting is nearing completion, except in the northern portion of the winter wheat belt. The crop has experienced generally favorable conditions, except in the Missouri valley, where complaints continue of sprouting in stack and shock. On the Noxtli Pacific coast winter wheat is maturing nicely, and the harvest will begin in Oregon in about ten days. Spring wheat is heading in the northern portion of the spring wheat region, and the general outlook for this crop continues promising, ulthough it is late in portions of northern Minnesota. In lowa, where the crop has been damaged by rust, the outlook is less favorable. Oats continue in promising condition, hut lodging is reported extensively in Nebraska and lowa, and to some extent in Ohio. Harvesting has been interrupted by wet weather in the lower Missouri valley, but has made good progress elsewhere. In New England and Michigan the outlook for apples continues promising, and less complaint of dropping is received from Missouri and Arkansas, but New York reports less favorable prospects than in the previous week. In the middle Atlantic and Ohio valley States an indifferent crop is indicated.

MANY KILLED IN MINE.

Two Powder Magazines Explode in Daly-West Shaft. Two powder magazines at the 1,200foot level of the Daly-West mine, near Park City, Utah, exploded early Wednesday morning, causing a loss of life which could not at once be estimated. Within three hours twenty-seven men had been taken out of the mine dead and several others had been recovered in a de.zed con--dltiou. These were all brought out through the Ontario mine shaft, a mile from the Daly-West, in which the explosion occurred. The 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West corresponds to and is •connected bjf tunnel with the 000-foot level of the Ontario. In the l)aly-West mine between 100 and 150 men were at work. In the Ontario were nearly 100. It is not known how many of them nre dead. Tf.erc nre two powder magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West—one ut each side of the shaft—with a capacity of one to two ears of powder each. The explosiou occurred nt nn hour when every person In town was asleep or at work. The shock was so great that It awakened everyone within a radius of sevornl miles. As an example of its awful force it is told that two horses in the ore tunnel one and a half miles away were killed by it. Excitement was tremendous. Every person in the town had friends or relatives working in the mine, and women and children thronged to the Ontario ■haft house, midway between Park City add the IHriy-Wsnt. Nearly all of them had husbands or fathers In the mines.

PORTLAND IN ICE PACK.

able to bald alongside the pack, perhaps at a distance of ten or fifteen miles from tb.- Portland, and take-off the people, but the chances are against the Portland ever getting out of the ice. Her natural fate will be to drift in the ice until some other huge mass meets the one she is in, and together they will crumble her to splinters. The possibility is that the Japan cbmook, which is now carrying the Si e pack tiV the north, may get up a sea sufficient to break up the pack, leaving her free; even then, it is a long chance that she will have been stove in so that she will go down as soon as the iee i>arts from her.

UNCLE SAM’S SOLDIERS TO HAVE NEW UNIFORMS.

The* T'nited States army is to have a new uniform. Radical changes are to be made in both service and dress uniforms

of officers and men of all branches' of the service. The changes w : U include the adoption of khaki as the service uniform for all arms, but full-length trousers for privates are to be abolished. The new service uniform proposed will have in place of fulllength trousers knickerbockers and either leggings or a wrappiug for the legs similar to that used in the British army. Long trousers are to be retained in the dress uniform, but the helmet will be abolished and a eap with a visor substituted. The brown slouch hat with the service uniform will be retained. The proposed changes

NEW UNIFORM.

in’ the uniform of officers are all in the direction of simplicity. The present long, heavy sword is to be abolished in favor of a short and lightweight weapon, similar to tjiat now used in the Italian army, In full dress uniform, officers will wear a can with visor, which is to be modeled after a pattern in use in the Prussian regiments of the German army. The knapsack is to he abolishi-d, and in its place there will be a canvas bag that will be suspended by straps over both shoulders. The hag will hang about the middle of the hack.

THE Pplitical Por.

Harmony prevailed throughout the Tennessee Republican State convention when a number of nominations were made by acclamation. The executive committee of the Republican congressional campaign committee has decided to open cnmpaign headquarters in New York an'd Chicago. The Kansas Populist State convention, in session nt Topeka, decided to accept the terms of the Democrats and nominate officers in accordance with the fusion plan. When the Republican State convention of Vermont named J. G. McCullough for Governor, the high license faction bolted and named P. W. Clement as an independent. The Democratic delegates of Maine, in State convention ut Baugor, named 8. W. Gould for Governor and make a platform with vigorous denunciation of the entire Philippine policy and abolition of tariffs on trust-made articles. In a statement referring to Grover Cleveland’s "harmony” speech at the Tilden Club in New York, Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Cleveland simply wants the Democrats to make another fight for tariff reform. 1 am a free trader and always have been. The question is not whether duties shull be put up or down, but whether they shall be wiped out entirely." The proposed revision of the constitution of Connecticut has been rejected by popular vote by n majority of 9,220. The new measure called for a change in the number of representatives from towns and cities, but did not Huit. The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld the State primary law, which forbids the nomination of any candidate from Governor and United States Seuntof down, except by means of a primary'election. Conventions may be called for tha declaration of party principles, but they oannot be uaed to make party nominations for office.

THREE TOWNS ARE RAZED.

Cyclone In North Dakota Causes Great Destruction in a Wide Path. The towns of Emerado and Thompson in Grand Forks County, N. D., and Borup in Norman County, Minn., were swept by a cyclone storm Tuesday night about 8 o’clock and all suffered much damage. Considerable loss of life is feared. ffhe first intimation of the seriousness of the storm eame at 8 o’clock, when the Great Northern and Northern Pacific telegraph lines in the storm district were scuddenly stopped. A few moments later communication west of Fargo on the Great Northern and west of Ulen on the Northern Pacific was absolutely cut off. Telephone lines suffered the same damage, and from the St. Paul headquarters at midnight it was impossible to reach farther than Fargo. Bornp Flattened Out. The little town of Borup on the St. Vinceut line of the Great Northern is an absolute wreck. The final report was that the entire town was wiped out and hardly a structure of auy sort, left stand' lng. This came from a Great Northern telegraph operator, who, ofter his station office had been laid flat, saved his key from the ruins and tapped the wires at the nearest available point. He also reported the razing of a hamlet some miles distant with destruction of a large amount of property. With the report from the St. Vincent branch came reports that the towns of Emerado, about seven miles from Grand Forks, with a population of 290, and Thompson, between Grand Forks and Larimore, had been destroyed. At Thompson the Great Northern station lies a confused mass of wreckage, directly across the main line. Stores and residences are in ruins and the main portion of the town is wiped out. The population is about 200. Sweeps Down from the North. The reports indicate that the cyclone developed southwest of the Lake of the Woods country and took a course down across the northern part of the State, traveling towards the southeast. At Winnipeg Junction a stock train was blown completely from the track, but whether or not the crew escaped could not ho learned. Linemen and relief trains were at once started for the district. A report from Grand Forks tells of two storms, both of which were violent, and the outer edges of both of which passed over the city. The first passed just north of Grand Forks at 5:31) p. m., and the second a little south at 8 o’clock. A heavy fall of small hailstones came with the first and in the second the ground was covered with stones measuring two inches in diameter. The depots at Emerado, Thompson and McDonalds were blown away. In Meckinock, Gilby, Inkster, Conway and other towns north and west great damage was done. Fargo report* thousands of acres of grain destroyed.

EXPLAINED BY BRAGG.

Reported Reference to Cubans Modified by Consul General. Consul General Bragg says the publi-. cation of an alleged statement by him in a letter to his wife that "Uncle Bam

might as well try to make a whistle out of a pig’s tail as try to do anything with the Cubans,” was wholly unwarranted. He telegraphed to the State Department that he was not accurately quoted. He denies that he used the inelegant comparison attributed to him, and says that what he

GEN. E. S. BRAUO.

wrote was that “when Uncle Sam gos through trying to make a whistle of a pig’s tail he would report whether he could make an Anglo-Saxon out of a Cuban.” Should the Cuban government see fit to make an issue of the consul general's letter, his recall will be unavoidable. As a semi-official Washington statement puts it, “it is not the custom of the United States to continue an officer at a station where he has rendered himself persona non grata to the inhabitants to an extent that impairs his usefulness.” The Cuban minister, a Washington dispatch says, recognizes that Gen. Bragg is an old man anil that whatever opinion he may have expressed to members of his family, his official conduct iu Havana has been above reproach.

PULPIT AND PREACHER.

The American church in Rome has a new organ. The old habit of distributing trats has been revived by the Methodists. Not until Martin Luther's time did black become the distinguishing hue of clerical garb. The Rev. Dr. Farkhurst is now in Ireland studying the vurious phases of the Irish problem. The Mormons claim to hnve now 2,000 missionaries in the field and to have made last year fully 20,000 converts. The old question of "alien immersion” has been stirred up again, not in Kentucky or Texas this time, but in Georgia. Nine hundred women have goDe out from the Chicago training school into active Christian service. Two-thirds ars deaconesses. There nre, it appears, in British JColumbia more Buddhists than Baptists, more Confucians than Congregationnlists, and nearly as many pagans as Lutherans. An advanced course in the Semitic languages lias been added to the curriculum of the Princeton Theological Seminary and will be opened next fall under I’rof. Robert Wilson. Bishop Turner of the African Methodist Church is the leuding spirit of the movement that has in view the exodus of the negroes to Africa as a solution of the race troubles in this country. One of twenty-eight candidates for ths degree of doctor of philosophy at Columbia University won the degree from that institution this year for a thesis on Sunday school movements in America.
