Mr. Bowles gave the government solemn warning that unless peace were made tn South Africa before spring extreme­ ly grave complications would confront England in Europe. A ministerial contradiction of the statement made by Mr. Bowles was looked for, but none came. Upon inquiry in the lobby of the author of the warning, a World cor­ respondent learned that Mr. Bowles, who, though a conservative, is some­ what disaffected and more or less an­ tagonistic to the ministry, referred in his speech to a movement set on foot by Premier Dekuyper of Holland, aid­ ed by Queen Wilhelmina, by which he had succeeded in interesting the em­ peror of Germany and the czar of Rus­ sia so far that their negotiations were fast approaching a point where Eng­ land could no longer safely ignore them.

He declared that some startling facts will be brought to light if the whole truth shall become known, and that the rep­ utations of persons other than his father are likely to suffer. "I hive Just written to my father," said Captain Schley, "that I thought he ought to spare nobody and that he should with­ hold none of the facts in his posses­ sion about Admiral Sampson or any­ body else."

Carefully prepared estimates#)® the losses to crops n the west, due to heat and want of rain, show the followng figures: Kansas, $300,000,000; Missou­ ri, $150,009,000; Nebraska, $50,000,000; Iowa, $25,000,000; Ohio, $20,000,000; Wisconsin, $20,000,000; Indiana, $10,- 000,000; Illinois, $10,000,000. Crop damage in Indiana is greater than has been estimated, especially in the southern part In the Indianapolis section the corn on high ground has been burned till It will not yield half a crop. Melons will be short 50 or 60 per cent, and potatoes will not make more than half a crop. In Knox, Da­ viess, Orange, Monroe and other coun­ ties in those sections, the corn on high ground will not average five bushels to the acre. Miami, Carroll, Howard, Henry and other counties report great damagq to crops, but not to the extent of the southern and southwestern counties. Even should heavy rain fall In Wis­ consin corn will not be more than half a crop, and most of it will be of lit­ tle use, except as forage. Tobacco is almost a total failure, oats about 40 per cent of a crop. Dairymen are sell­ ing their cows, owing to the scarcity of feed. Notices are being sent by Dean Henry of the college of agricul­ ture to all newspapers in the north­ ern part of the state where rain has been abundant, urging thi farmers to save every particle of feed of every kind, as there will be a big demand, for it at good prices. In Illinois the Injury to corn is not great as yet, but leaves are curling and in a few plates tassels and top leaves dying; good rains within a week or ten days would save corn, but yield will be below average; crop looks wellMn vicinity of Springfield and is able to stand ten days more drought; hay har-S vest nearly over, light crop; gardens and potatoes badly injured; pastures bare, farmers feeding stock; wells and stock water becoming scarce; peaches fair; apples continue dropping.

Although he has not had a letter from his father since the court of inquiry was ordered, he is fa­ miliar with the questions at issue, and pointed out some of the facts that will be urged in the admiral's defense. When the court of inquiry meets," said Captain Schley, "I would like to have the privilege of asking Admiral Sampson just one question: 'If the battle of Santiago had resulted In de­ feat, to whom would the blame be at­ tached?' This, I think, tells the situa­ tion In a nutshell. If Admiral Schley had lost the battle he would have been blamed. He won it, and he should have the credit. The accusations that are made are ridiculous when they are investigated. Take, for example, the charge of disobedience of orders in May, 1898. An attempt has been made to saddle the responsibility on my father. The fact is that he has a let­ ter from Admiral Sampson telling him to do exactly what he did, and this letter will be produced at the inquiry. At that time he was maintaining the blockade off Cienfuegos. Secretary Long wired Admiral Sampson strongly advising that the blockading fleet go to Santiago in the hope of finding the Spanish fleet there. Admiral Sampson sent the dispatch to Admiral Schley with a note in which he said: 'After duly considering the telegram I have decided to make no change in /the present plans--that Is, yon should hold your squadron off Cienfuegos.' This letter was suppressed. Regard­ ing the maneuvers of the Brooklyn at the time of the battle, Captain Schley says the facts all go to show that this was the best move under the circum­ stances. The part played by the Brooklyn In the battle certainly com­ pares favorably with that of the New York, he thinks. "<If this inquiry is full and fair," de­ clared Captain Schley, "some facts will be disclosed that will startle the pub­ lic. My father has several strong cards up his sleeve, and I trust he will make use of them all." Captain Schley enlisted in the army In 1884, and was appointed a second lieutenant In the Twenty-third Infan­ try seven years later. He has served with his' regiment all through its Sight Prospectors Drowned. The steamer Hasting, from Skaguay, brought forty Dawson passengers and $300,000 in gold dust to Vancouver, B. C.

She was sent to jail until she retracts the state­ ment, which she says she will never do. Bridge Toll-T»ker stabbed. . Frank Bakalars, toll-taker on Mississippi river wagon bridge at La Crosse, Wis., was stabbed, probably fa­ tally, by William Warnoch, who at­ tempted to cross the bridge without paying toll. Bakalars drove Warnoch off the structure, when the latter turned and stabbed him in the back. As Bakalars fell he drew his pistol and fired at his assailant, striking him In the arm.

The brisk breeze blowing carried the flames directly across the immense lumber yards of Weyerhauser St Oenkmann, which soon were a mass of flames. The spread of the Are was so rapid that the workmen had barely time to desert the yard, some losing their coats and dinner pails. The flames pushed their way into the adjoining residence district, closely settled with middle-class homes of an average value of a few thousand dollars each, from which the occupants escaped only with their lives and the clothing on their backs. Over fifty homes were burned, some tenements, resulting in 100 families being rendered homeless. Others de­ serted their homes in the threatened district. Vacant houses all over town were filled with furniture removed from the imperiled district.

The younger men In the crowd, aroused by the unusual expe­ rience of tarring and feathering, and excited by the cries of the hundreds of angry women, were anxious for more conclusive vengeance, and for a time fought fiercely to get a rope around Miller's neck. The people of West Chi­ cago were aroused by the appearance of Mrs. Miller running down the main street, crying loudly, and with blood running from numerous cuts on her head and face. The beating she had received she declared was the last one of a long series for which her husband was responsible. She said she had been knocked down and struck repeat­ edly across the face and breast. Admiral Sonify Requests lavaati*atlea.
