WILL APPLY FOR STATEHOOD.

Delegate Wilcox to Present Bill for Hawaii at Next Congress. Delegate Wilcox is managing a movement at Honolulu toward securing the admission of Hawaii to the American union as a state. This movement has already counteracted the plan for the annexation of the islands as a county or number of counties to the state of California. Hawaii will apply through Delegate Wilcox for statehood next winter. He sees no reason why Hawaii should not become a state along with Arizona and New Mexico. From the main standpoint of population and wealth her claims are better than those of the other territories. There will a clause in the bill for the exclusion of Chinese from Hawaii. As steamship and sugar companies wish to have a cable laid between the United States and the new territory md as the delegate has it in his power to prevent the laying of the cable for some time he is able to insist upon the support of the companies to his proposition of excluding Chinese. In consequence of the agitation for statehood pie prices of sugar stocks are going down still further, as the prospects ’or a relief of the labor stringency are lestroyed in the discussion. No ar■angements, temporary or permanent, :an be made to supply Hawaii with aborers until the political status of the country is determined upon.

SEES A VISION AND DIES.

St. I’aul Invalid Is Thrown Into Convulsions by Shock. A vision at the window was responsible for hastening the death of Mrs. Catherine Norman Cariveau, who has died at her home in St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Cariveau had been ill for Several months, heart disease and consumption having gradually sapped her vitality until death was only a matter of time. Saturday evening William Cariveau, husband of the woman, was sitting with her. She had fallen asleep. Suddenly she awakened, pointing out of the window, crying: “Look, Will! Look!” Cariveau heard something strike on the screen, but could see nothing when he looked. The sick woman was thrown into convulsions, and when she had quieted sufficiently, told her husband that she had seen his sister, Miss Cariveau, dressed entirely in white, and wearing wings, standing outside the window and stretching out her hands. Mrs. Cariveau maintained that the noise of something striking the screen which her husband had heard was the striking of the sister’s wings as she passed the window. The shock following this’ vision was so great that Mrs. Cariveau never recovered, dying at 3 o’clock Sunday morning. Miss Cariveau was at that time hanging between life and death. She is still alive, but her death is expected momentarily.

Woman Horsewhips Pickets.

Mrs. William Glass, wife of the proprietor of a First avenue store in Great Falls, Mont., horsewhipped three members of the Trades and Labor council who had been stationed about the store by the organization to distribute circulars asking the public not to patronize the place. The store had been declared “unfair” by the clerks’ union because Glass refused to observe the 6 o’clock closing rule. The aggressiveness of Mrs. Glass put an end to the picketing part of the boycott plan and caused a lively scene about the store for some time.

Guards Deck Tanner’s Grave.

Memorial exercises were held at the grave of the late Governor Tanner at Springfield. 111., by the Eighth Batallion of .colored troops of the Illinois National Guards. Under command of Major Marshall the members of the batallion marched from Camp Lincoln to the cemetery, where several hundred people, including Colonel J. Mack Tanner, the governor’s son, and Cora Edith English Tanner, the widow, had gathered.

SHIP CRASHES INTO ICEBERG

Alaskan Steamer Islander Wrecked and Seventy Die, DISASTER COMES IN A FOG. Captain Stick* to Hi* Po«t and Goa* <o Death with Many of Hl* Puiunrrs and Craw Explosion Follow* the Wreck* As a result of a collision with an iceberg early last Thursday morning the steamer Islander, crack boat of the Canadian Pacific Navigation company, sank and carried down seventy of Its passengers and crew. The steamer hit the floating mass of ice just before dawn. A heavy fog hung over the sea, and to this is attributed the fact that Captain Foote, who was on the bridge, failed to observe his danger. The force of the collision was such that an immense hole was torn in the bow of the vessel. The water poured into the ship- in such volumes that it was impossible to close the water-tight compartment floors, and the flood soon reached the engine-rooms. Just as the boats were lowered a terrific explosion occurred, and scores of people who otherwise might have been saved were killed. The passengers, awakened by the shock, were confronted with what seemed certain death. When they started in a mad rush for the deck they found that the force of the collision had been such that every door and window was jammed fast. With whatever came handy they started to break doors and windows. A number succeeded, but those who had failed to gain even temporary liberty went down when the boilers exploded-. Steward Simpson, who lost ten of his men, tells a graphic story of the wreck. He forced his way on deck and reached there just as the lifeboats were being lowered. The moment after the collision the chief engineer started' the pumps, but the inrush of water was too rapid to be checked. The captain headed a party of officers and seamen, who, armed with axes, broke in the doors of the staterooms and rescued as many of the imprisoned passengers as they could. Soon the water drove them to the upper deck. By this time the boats were filled, and while the officers were getting out the last life raft the explosion came. The captain leaped into the sea and was picked up by a lifeboat. Just as he was pulled on board the boat was overturned and its occupants lost. The story of the wreck was first learned at Treadwell, Alaska, when a party of the survivors, headed by the chief engineer, staggered into that little town. They had walked twenty-five miles up the beach, and were nearly dead from exhaustion and hunger. Two steamers were at once sent to the scene of the wreck to search for possible survivors. At noon one of them, the Flossie, returned with its flag at half-mast. On board were

The ex-attorney-general of the state Of Ohio has lately been engaged b/ the “Anti-Trust League” to fight* 8 what is known as the Federal StCeL. Corporation, often referred to as the Billion Dollar Steel Trust. It is argued that under the Sherman law the Federal Steel Corporation has no existence outside of the state in which its charter was granted-—New Jersey. Mr. Monnett will first begin operations in Ohio, where the corporation has vast interests and where the local

Sir William Laird is Dead.

Sir William Laird, K. 8., the ironmaster. is dead at Glasgow, Scotland. Sir William Laird was a member of the firm of William Laird & Co. He entered the service of the firm many years ago, and was made' a partner in 1878. He was chairman of the North British Railway company, to which post he was elected in 1899. Early in life Sir William was trained to the legal profession, but abandoned that to enter the firm of Laird & Co.

six dead bodies and two score passengers who were picked up while drifting around in open boats without oaro or sails. There was $275,000 in gold on the steamer, SIOO,OOO of which was carried by passengers. H. H. Hart, who has spent sixteen years in the Klondike, lost $35,000 in dust. Among the lost are Mrs. Ross, the wife of the governor of Yukon Territory, her child, and niece.

Each side in the steel strike claimed gains Tuesday, but little of importance developed to change the situation, it is estimated that 16,000 men arp out as a result of the general strike order, making, with those first to quit, a total of 62,000 now idle. Mysterious talk of moves in preparation that will result in great advantage is heard on both sides, but both union men and mill managers refuse to give details of their plans of campaign. The action of the Joliet and Bay View steel workers in going on strike beginning to have effect on' the employes of the South Chicago mills. Rumored that another vote on striking may be taken. The Chicago Federation of Labor adopted resolutions condemning the South Chicago steel workers for refusing to strike, and declaring them unfit to associate with union men.

Two men were killed and a dozen or more were injured near Ingolf, Manitoba, by the wrecking of a Canadian Pacific train that was carrying several hundred harvest hands from the maritime provinces to the wheat fields of Manitoba. According to a statement given out by the railroad officers the following were the casualties: Killed —Donald McKegan, Cape Breton; Dan White, Kent City, N. B. Injured: Martin Almon, Cape Breton; James Craig; Thomas Corwin, fireman; John Reed, Newfoundland. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rail under the engine, which, with five coaches, was derailed.

With his tongue nearly burned out and his lips and mouth terribly scarred and blistered, Daniel Blizzard, a 7-year-old lad, was placed in care of the Society for Protection of Children from Cruelty, at Baltimore, Md. The boy’s mother was sentenced to six months in jail for torturing the child. The lad told his mother a falsehood. She lighted a coaloil lamp and held a stove poker over the blaze until it was red hot, She ( then forced the boy’s jaws open and thrust the burning iron into his mouth and tortured him by keeping it there several minutes.

Favorable crop reports throughout Italy indicate the wheat prospect as slightly in excess of last season’s harvest of 42,000,000 hectoliters. The wine outlook is also promising. For the first time in several seasons the olive crop will be good, and the prospects for hemp, corn, and rice are uniformly bright.

AN ENEMY TO THE TRUSTS.

FRANK S. MONNETT.

anti-trust laws uphold the Sherman act. Mr. Monnett claims that nearly of the stock in the Federal Steel Corporation is owned by foreigners, and that the “plants” not only include mills and factories, but big newspapers as well. The latter, it is said, are purchased in Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago, Detroit and other large cities. The suits to be prosecuted by Mr. Monnett grew out of the steel workers’ strike.

State Statistician Johnson said at Indianapolis, from observations he had made, that he believed the corn crop in Indiana was practically beyond redemption. “Rain,” said he, “will be of little benefit now. Rain and an unusually late fall might help conditions, but even then the benefit will be small. The corn stalks hav£ begun to harden, and the stalk is weedy. Even with good rains from now on the ears of corn will not develop. In some small localities there will be good corn.”

TIDAL WAVE AT GULF COAST

Terrific Storm Sweeps Southern States—Lives Are Lost. PORT EADS IS ISOLATED. Telegraphic Wires Are Down) Ships Have Been Destroyed and Houses Carried Away —Greatest Flood Since 1893 —Much Damage at Mobile, Ala. The southern storm of Wednesday night developed Thursday into a hurricane, in many respects one of the worst ever known at New Orleans, La. The hurricane struck the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida coasts from Pensacola to Grand Isle, La., with its center about the Rigolets, the mouth of Lake Pontchartrain, moving westward and threatening to reach the West Louisiana and Texas coast. As usual all the telegraph, telephone, and other wires were down from New Orleans to the fistrict where the storm

raged worst, and all communication by railroad and boat is cut off, so that the details of the storm were very meager, tn New Orleans the storm was first felt at Lake Pontchartrain, in the rear of the city. The wind from the southeast, blowing at the rate of seventy miles an hour, accompanied by the highest tide ever known —seven and a half feet —which raised the lake ten feet or more above the levee, drov'e the water over the lake shore and rear protection levees. The greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the people living at Port Eads, which is at the mouth of the Mississippi river, and th& ships that started for sea just before the storm began. The wires to Port Eads have been prostracted since Tuesday night at 8 o’clock, but a reporter reached a man who left there at 2 o’clock Wednesday. He was at Buras, which is sixty miles down the river and the farthest point with which there is wire communication at the present time. This man describes the storm which swept that section as a regular tidal wave, similar to the one which resulted in such awful loss of life in 1893. He says all the. people living on the east bank of the river have moved up to the “jump,” which is fifteen miles from the mouth of the river. The house of a man named Cobden, half a mile above the quarantine station, was swept away, and the fifteen members of the family, including nine children, were drowned. The quarantine buildings were badly damaged, but no one was injured. The big towboat Chamberlain was driven high and dry in the marsh, but her crew are safe. The government boat General Reese is believed to have been lost. Captain O’Brien’s house was swept away, but he was on the boat which was believed to be outside. The pile driver at Port Eads was sunk. The steamboat Buras was driven ashore near the lighthouse, and later it was reported that she had sunk. Her crew were said to have been saved. The storm completely isolated the city of Mobile, Ala., from the outside world. At 4:30 Thursday afternoon the Western Union office in Mobile was abandoned, the water at that time being three feet deep in the operating room. Two hours later this message was received: “The water is over tiiree feet deep in this operating room, and it is still rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is deserted ” Here the wire failed and nothing more was heard from the town, although the most persistent efforts were made.

Details of Floods in Orient.

Oriental advices received at Tacoma, Wash., give further details of terrible floods In the Yang-tse Kiang valley during July. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 people were drowned in tne provinces of Kiangsi, Hupeh, Hunan, and Anhui, while tens of thousands have been rendered homeless. The provinces of Kiangsi and Hunan suffered most severely, fully 15,000 persons having perished in Kiangsi alone. Rain fell continuously for forty days.

Postmaster Is a Fugitive.

Postmaster Max Kruskopf, who had charge of the funds in the Marshalltown (la.) postofflce, in the accounts of which a shortage of over SBOO was discovered by Postofflce Inspector Ketcham, He had not been placed under arrest, but was under the eye. of a deputy United States marshal and had been ordered to appear before a United States commissioner and explain the shortage. He managed to conceal himself and was not to be found when the train left for Des Moines.

SAYS HE CAN CURE INSANE.

St. Louis Doctor Claims Paranolla Mnai Yield to His Treatment. Dr. C. Bernstorff of St. Louis, Mo„ has made the announcement that he has discovered a positive and penna* nent cure for Insanity, restricting hie declaration to those cases that come under the head of paranoila and what alienists call the gradual breakdown of the mental system due to over-brain exertion. Dr. Bernstorff appeared at the four courts and appealed to the police and the press representatives to agree upon a deserylng case which he states he will undertake free of charge simply to show that he Is sincere In his statement. “I have cured five cases so far,” he said, “and wish to demonstrate that I can cure others. You see, I have had some trouble with the medical fraternity because I will not give out the secret of my treatment. I would like to state in advance that I do not pretend to cure cases of insanity due to severe injuries to the head or where persons were born idiots. That is impossible. But in other cases I will cure in from four to eight weeks.” Dr. Bernstorff holds high rank as a physician and his es-

pecial study has been neurology. He is firm in his statement and will accept any patient pronounced Incurably insane which is named by any paper or by the police.

THE IOWA TO GO TO PANAMA.

Battleship Will Land Marines If Needed to Protect Railway. The big battleship lowa will be dispatched to Panama, and if necessary will land marines to protect the Panama railroad for its entire length across the isthmus to Colop. Secretary Hay is determined to not only safeguard American interests but to fulfill the treaty obligations of the United States toward Colombia. All reports to the State department confirm the belief that a concerted movement is on foot to combine the republics of Venezuela and Ecuador and to force Colombia into the combination.

New Trunk Line in View.

A report that the Norfolk and Western, Memphis and Chattanooga, the Choctaw and Fort Worth and Denver are forming a through transcontinental trunk line has caused a substantial rise in some of the interested stocks at Philadelphia. It is said that a party of surveyors has recently been at work between Knoxville, Tenn.; and Bristol, which is the Norfolk ’ and Western terminus of the Tennessee line. A well-equipped railroad already extends from Knoxville to Memphis, and this road is connected with the Fort Worth and Denver City by the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf. The control of the Fort Worth and Denver City rests with the Colorado Southern, which makes a close and advantageous connection with the Gould system at Denver.

Dark Foils Five Robbers.

Five men made an attempt at 1 o’clock Friday morning to rob the United States Express company at La Porte, Ind., and carry away the iron box which arrives over the Lake Erie and Western railroad and usually contains large sums. In the darkness the five men could not distinguish a hack from the express wagon and while two men stopped the horses the other three called to the cabman to hold up his hands. The men then discovered their mistake and disappeared.

Fight New Public Library.

The Wheeling (W. Va.) board of education, which has control of public library matters, decided that it was useless in the face of the opposition from every labor organization in the city to submit to a vote the proposition to issue $50,000 bonds to provide for the acceptance of a public library building. The unions had decided to fight the proposition at every polling place.

Shoots at Passing Trains.

Olin Hubbard, son of a Fulton county physician, was shot and probably fatally wounded at Stryker, Ohio, in a skirmish with officers, who attempted to arrest him and a young man of the name of Finch for shooting at passing trains on the Lake Shore road. Finch is in jail, while Hubbard was removed to his home.

Bitten by Jealous Rattler.

One of the attractions at the firemen’s carnival that is being held in Stamford, Conn., is an exhibition of snake eating by a man of the name of Boscoe. Tuesday, while engaged in his snake-eating feat, Boscoe. was bitten on the hand by a rattlesnake. The rattler seemed jealous of his attention to other snakes, and would glide toward his rivals rattling and shooting forth its fangs. Boscoe would drive him away, but the rattler returned and made the dart that struck fifa hand.

POSTAL FUNDS DISAPPEAR.

Shortage of *833.36 in lowa Poatoffloe. A shortage in the accounts of the Marshalltown, lowa, poetmaster, made public Thursday, created considerable excitement in business circles there. The. shortage was discovered by Postofflee Inspector W. M. Ketcham and amounts to >833.36. Postmaster J. Q. Saint was at once Informed of the shortage and promptly made good the loss. The responsibility of the $15,000 in stock and the $3,000 in postal funds has largely rested with Deputy Postmaster Max Kruskopf. However, others have access to the funds, which are kept in the vault, and there can be no determination made as to who must be held responsible until the matter has been fully investigated. A deputy United States marshal was summoned, but it is understood he made no arrests. Postmaster Saint, Deputy Kruskopf, and Chief Clerk Hawley accompanied the offlial to Des Moines, where they were cited to appear before United States Commissioner W. C. McArthur. Deputy Kruskopf arranged to reimburse Postmaster Saint, pending the investigation. He has been employed in the postofflee here for about sixteen years and the public is inclined to give him the benefit of every doubt. Saint was appointed during McKinley’s first administration. That a crime has been committed has not yet been charged and whether or not any arrests will be made depends on the results of the investigation at Des Moines.

PRISONED UNDER LAKE.

Nine Men Die in Blazing Crib at Cleveland. Thirteen men were imprisoned alive in a tunnel 200 feet below the bottom of Lake Erie, two miles from shore off Cleveland harbor, by a fire and explosion which destroyed the new waterworks crib and caused the death by burning or drowning of at.least nine and probably thirteen persons. Of the men imprisoned in the tunnel ten were rescued alive many hours after the disaster. The other three are believed to be dead. The escape of the ten men was almost miraculous, for when the crib burned the machinery which pumped air to the tunnel was destroyed. After two hours of hard work by firemen five charred human bodies were found, burned beyond recognition. Two were in the attitude of prayer. They must have been awakened by the fire, but could not escape. One body was burned to almost nothing. All that could be found of it were a skull and some bones. The bodies of two other men lay close to those that were on their knees, and it looked as if they never knew what happened to them.

Boy Sneezes Out the Bullet.

The 12-year-old son of Martin Howard, who lives north of Ann Arbor, Mich., was shot in the head and sneezed out the bullet. The ball entered the head behind the ear, passed around the base of the brain, and lodged In the roof of the mouth. Medical assistance was summoned, but before the doctor arrived the victim was taken with a sneezing fit. During one of his “kerchoos” the bullet was forced through the flesh in the mouth and dropped out. When the physician arrived he stopped the flow of blood
