NEW YORK, Aug. 2%.—The Thingvalla Line steamer Norge, which arrived here to- day, reports that she sunk the French fish- ing schooner Lacoquette of Bayonne, France, on Saturday last on the Grand Banks. , Sixteen went down with the unfortunate vessel. The captain and elght seamen were saved. The Norge sailed from Stettin, Aug. 3. The weather was wsgenerally fine to the banks of Newfoundland, when it became foggy, with patches of clear weather. Sat- urday, Aug. 20, between 3 and 4 o'glock in the afternoon, the weather was foggy, but not so thick that the vessel's sp@ed was reducéd. \Capt. Knudsen sald he could see about three cable lengths ahead. The wind was fairly brisk from the west- southwest, when a vessel suddenly loomed up from the north with sails full and stood directly across the bow of the steamer. The bells were rung to stop and back at full speed, but too late to check the steam- er's headway. The stranger, a fishing schooner, across the bow and with a crash was forced over and sunk. Three men sprung aboard the Norge. The passengers of the Norge, most of whom were about the decks, rushed about in alarm at the shock, but were soon quieted when they learned that the steamer was uninjured. A boat was lowered and six men and a dog wene picked up. The vessel eaank almost immediately and in sinking carried with her the 16 of her crew. Capt. Knudsen of the Norge said that as @& steam vessel he was obliged to keep out of the way of all sailing craft, but that this was a time when the salling vessels could have done more to help herself than the ateamer. The latter was going ahead at full speed, for the fog was not, in the judg- ment of the captain, suffic'ent to reduce headway. The fitherman was an active vessel, had a good breeze and was under good steerageway, but made no attempt to avoid the coliision, keeping on with sails full until squarely under the bow. The large hull of the Norge, Capt. Knud- sen said, should have been visible for a long distance. SHE HAS NO HOME. The Sad Story of Mrs. Minnie Palmer, Who Sought Work Here.

Women Screamed, Men Jumped for Their Lives and Consternation Reigned at Tenth and Carr Streets. One hundred people narrowly escaped se- rious injury, perhaps death, in a street car collision at Tenth and Carr streets shortly after 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Car No. 119, with trailer, of the Northern Central Line, was coming east on Carr street. At that hour the trains are heav- lly crowded with downtown workers. No. 119 was filled to the platform and passengers /hung to the sides of the trailer. | At Tenth street the tracks of the Belle- | fontaine d vision of the Union Depot Ralil- |way Co. cross Carr street and the North- (ern Central tracks. | At that point both streets ingly narrow.

The Northern Centra] operator baw it and supposed it would slow up and give the downtown-bound car the right of way. He was half way over the crossing with his bumping, ehaking train, when he saw his mistake. Throwing on the full cur- rent he tried to get clear. At the same time the Union Depot motorman turned off the electricity and clapped on the brakes. It was toa late. The heavy car, im- pelled by its own momentum, slid for- ward with locked wheels and crashed into the loaded tra.n, squarely amidships. Struck at their coupling, the two North- ern Central cars were half turned. The wildest confusion prevailed among the passengers. Many those on the latforms and sides of the trailer leaped yefore the cars struck. Those on the in- Side saw a collision was inevitable only in time to spring to their feet. The force of the collision sent them reel- ing against the north side of the car, where they fell in a heap. Women screamed ind men shouted as the mass extricated and rushed for the door. By rare good chance no one was hurt. and after half an hour’s delay the trip was re- sumed. The collision was sufficient to snap the chains and coupling pins of the Northern Central cars and break the fender and stove in the platform of the Bellefontaine car, The Northern Central people claim the right of way at that point.

LAWYER WILL ENTER AN ARGU- MENT OF SELF-DEFENSE IN THE CASE. HOW THE MAN’S EYE CAME TO BE BLACKENED. One Witness Testified He Had a Fight With Allgaier on the Day the Shooting Occurred and Blacked His Eye. When Campbell Aligaier, who shot and killed James Baker at 85 Ridge avenue Monday night, faces a jury in the Criminal Gourt he will plead self-defense. This position of the defendant's attorney was uncovered at the second day’s session of the tmquest Thursday morning by the testimony of the first witness, Joe O'Neil. Attorney Simon S. Bass who represents Aligaier, sat silently by while the damag- ing evidence piled up against his client Wednesday for the reason, as he admitted, that he did not intend giving the prosecu- tion the slightest inkling as to the lines on which the case will be fought in the higher courts. He would not admit Thursday that O’Neil’s evidence was a surprise, but he did virtually acknowledge that the plea wouid | be self-defense. O'Neil lives at 1718 Whittier street. He tes- tifled that on Sunday evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock, he had an altercation with Campbell Allgaier near the latter’s home. ‘The cause of the quarrel was foreign to the case and was not inquired into. The men came to blows, O'Neil sad, and he remem- bers distinctly of hitting his opponent in the left eye. Allgaier’s eye is blackened from a blow, a fact that Mr. Bass did not think would ‘be brought out. He says the discoloration did not wppear until Tuesday, or the day after the killing of James Baker and O'Ne.! claims to have struck the blow 24 hours pre- vious to that. “Tt shows how carefully the prosecution is planned,”’ said Mr. Bass. ‘They anticl- pated tt:at we would plead self-defense.” “Then that is to be your pleat’ “T did not say so.”’ “It must be either that or -sold-blooded adversary,”’ was suggested. “Yes, that it; either that or cold-blooded murder,’ assented Mr. Bass. The attorney did not depart Thursday from Wednesday’s policy and silently heard the testimony. When the jury filed into the Coroner’s office five minutes after the evl- dence had been concluded with a verdict of ‘homicide and holding Allgaier responsib.e, ithe lawyer merely shrugged his shoulders, while the prisoner even smiled. | Miss Betty Allgaier, whose good name the assailed, was not disappointment of to see this claims Baker ‘much to the ithe-crowd that had gathered | defense }young woman about whora there secms to be an impenetrable cloud of mystery. Her ‘lawyer said she was suffering from nervous prostration consequent upon the tragedy. The certificate of Dr. J. 3. Pardue of 92 Easton avenue, presented to Deputy Coroner Lloyd, who conducted the inquest, reua: “This is to certify that the state of health of Miss Betty Allgaier is such that she can- not appear at the inquest.”’ Dr. Lloyd accepted this without question and called for Jce O'Neil. The young man’s statement did not go beyond the account of the fight Sunday night. * Patrolman O’Mara remembered hearing Allgaier make threats against Baker. “He asked me one night, a few weeks ago, where Baker was,” said O’Mara. “I told him I did not know. Aligaier then said, ‘Wait, I'll fix that — —.’ I ad vised him not to attack Baker, as he was a good fellow and did not mean to harm Miss Allgaier or her family.’’ “Did you see Baker after that?’ Dr. Lloyd. “Yes, the next evening, I think.’’ “Did you hold any conversation with him?’’ “I told him what Aligaier had said to me, and advised him to be careful and to look out for him.” ‘‘Repeat your exact language.” “That's it, as near as I can remember.’ did this conversation take place’? “At the corner of King’s highwuy and Easton avenue.”’ asked “Was any one with you the aven'ng you | had the conversat.on with Allgaier?”’ “Yes. John Shulte. He asked who he was and I told him.” “Did Allgaler have a gun then?” “I felt his pockets, but did not d'isccver one.”’ Patrolman Carbray first heard of shooting and arrested A'lgaier. | | “Tl found him in his house.’ he said, '“standing by his mother.

INCIDENT IN FRONT OF THE ART MUSEUM IN DAY- LIGHT. we POLICEMAN CAPTURED ONE OF THE ROBBERS. The Other Escaped, but It Is Thought He Will Be Arrested Within the Next Day or Two. Miss Della Stanton of 3986 Gratiot street had a thrilling encounter with two pick- pockets in front of the Fine Arts Museum, Nineteenth and Locust streets, late Wednes- day afternoon, After a flerce struggle with the man she was robbed of a pocketbook containing several dollars in cash and a diamond ring. Policeman Callahan witnessed the daring theft from an Eighteenth street car. He hurried to the woman's assistance, but the men saw him coming and fled. Callahan pursued them and captured one of the fugi- tives, who gave his name as Frank Bon- dewyne. The police say the prisoner bears an unen- viable reputation. He has been frequently arrested for petty offenses. | Miss Stanton called on Assistant Prosecut- ‘ing Attorney Johnson Thursdey and pro- ‘cured a warrant against Bondewyne, charg- ing him with robbery in the first degree. , The plucky young woman was at first re- | luctant to speak of her exciting experience. “T resisted the men and fared the worse for it,.”’ she said. ‘“‘I was walking west on Locust street about 4 o'clock, when two burly fellowe stopped me at Nineteentn street. In my right hand I carr.ed my ocketbook, while in the other I held a ight parasol. One of the men approacned me and without a word threw up my arm and snatched the pursé@ from my hand. Then I lifted my parasol and struck the vold fellow in the face. His companion looked on and sneered. ' “T was pushing them away from me, when the taller man tripped me and I fell to the ground. As I was about to rise he gave me a vicious slap in the face, After | that they got the pocketbook. They wanted ' the umbre.la, too, but I clung to it firmly 'and they finally desisted. | “There were scores of people riding along Locust street at the time in carriages and vehicles, but I guess they thought the men were only joking with me. “The officer's prompt appearance is all that saved me from a more brutal attack.’’ The authorities are on the scent of the escaped thiet. They have a good rescrip- tion of him.

The others will be conveyed to the United States Marine Hospital, on Marine avenue, Sauth St. Louis,where Dr. Stimpson, the of- ficer in charge of the .nstitution, hes con- cluded every preparation to receive the in- valids and make them comfortable. The Marine Hospital sits upon the crest of the hill overlooking the river in South St. Loyls. It is a beautifully kept and splendidly located institution. The long buildings are shaded by thick and towering trees, the great lawns are close- cropped and green, and from the river with- in open iew down the hill there come cooling and refreshing breezes. It is an ideal spot for an invalid, for cool and quiet and comfort are there and skillful hands newer to administer to the soldier’s every need. It is only since Tuesday that Dr. Stimp- son and his assistants have known that the sick soldiers were coming to the insti- tution. The Marine Hospital is an institu- tion maintained by the War Department the care of invalid river men and There has never been a sick So the news that the Missouri boys are coming home to be cared for necessitated a world of hustling about the place in the limited time given to pre- pare. Thursday morning Dr. Stimpson said all was ready. The long rows of cots, with their spotless sheets and pillows and neat and clean coverlets, were ranged upon either side of the long wards, and with the cool breezes sifting through the mosquito- barred screens and the scent of cleanl.ness and freshness all about, the hospital will be a haven to the sick soldier just from a hot and over-crowded camp. A number of the soldiers are in a pre- carious condition. For these the hospital people have fitted cots in rooms isolated, at the ends of the wards, where they may be free frém the noise of the convalescent In the general wards. In assigning these men to the St. Louis Merine Hospital some doubt was entertain. ed by Dr. Stimpson of his authority to ac- cept them. They are on furlough and, in addition, the commanding officer had not requested that they be admitted, a rule which the War Department enforces with strictest adherence in order that there may be no trouble in paying the hospital bilis. Up to noon Thursday no such request had been made of Dr. Stimpson, but he antici- pated that lt would be made before the sol- diers arrived, as he could not accept them without it.

There are hundreds cashes a Bogus check does not like to ad- mit that he could be so easily defrauded, and in most cases he pockets his loss and does not report it to the police because of the notoriety euch action will bring him. This clever forger is methodical in his way of carrying on his criminal work. His Blan is so cleverly conceived, and his bold | manner of execution is so ingenuous that he does not need to change his plans. His bogus checks are invariably drawn on the National Bank of Commerce and the name of the firm whose signature he forges is printed across the end of the check. He does not even vary in the amount of money the check ie drawn for. In every instance that has been reported the amount has been $65. And in no case has his scheme been detected until the check had been paid without question. The check would find lodgment in the bank or clearing house and here the forgery would come to light. The police have ae fairly accurate deecrip- tion of the forger His name is not known. ‘In all his operations he has never given tone. Indeed his manner has disarmed sus- picion and his checks were cashed by the shrewdest business men in St. Louls with- out question. A young man answering the description of the forger rushed into the office of the National Brewery Co., at Eighteenth and Gratiot streets Saturday, and approached the cashier. “I am from Thorn & Hunkin’s. hurriedly but politely. me to run over and request as a personal favor if you would cash a small check for him.

Deane at Dover, Del., by gending them a box of poisoned candy, now occupies comfortable quarters in the Matron’s Ward at the City Prison. Her husband, who is working hard in her behalf, Is allowed to visit her. Frank Gattrel, a clerk in a candy store in Siockton, tells of a woman who came to ‘his place of employment about three weeks ago at Which time Mrs. Botkin was in Stockton, and purchasing a box of candy similar to the one sent to Mrs. Dunning. The woman sald she desired to put some of the candy that she had wih her in the box and fill it up with candy purchased from the store. According to the clerk his cus- tomers candy was either old or home- made. It alenost filled the box, which he covered with confections from his store. Gatir: 1 wil Gome to this city to-day to see if he can ident fy Mrs. Botkin as the wo- man for whom he filled the pox. When questioned by Chief of Pol'ce Lees, Mrs. Botkin told in detail of her move- ments during the last fw weeks. She de- nied all knowledge of the box of candy, its wrapper or contents, stating positively t! et the only candy she bad purchased during eighteen months was a sma!! box of lemon drops. Mra. Botkin was led to talk of her friend- ship for Dunning, and this she did in no un- qualified manner. She told of how she had induced him to take rooms at 927 Geary etreet, of how she had learned of his heavy financial losses at the races; and of how ehe vad befriended him. “Why. I never knew of such an unfortu- nate,” sald she, “and if 1 had not befriended him, if my influence had not been exerted in his behalf, he would most certainly havo commited suicide. At times his poverty was painfully abject, and he even suffered for the common necessaries of life, I myself have supplied him with the food that sus. tained life. In fact, I prepared him all the food he ate, having learned his favorite | dishes and how to please him. ITER INFLUENCE OVER DUNNING Mrs. Botkin dwelt at length on Mr. Dun- Hing's dissipated habits, his habitual intem- perance, in truth so much #o that she was finally asked if she would really care to link her life with a man so dissipated. At this question Mra. Botkin started sud- ‘only. “Jack used to jestingly eay to me when ferring to his failure in life and his dis- pated habits, that 1 wouldn't marry him ven if he were free, because of them. “But, you see, my influence over him {s i) strong that I could do much with him al- ways. “Mr. Dunning told me that he sent his imily Hast to reduce the expenses of their ving. In no way did he speak of iliness in 8 Wife's family. He told me that his wife 1 HOt want to go Hast, and he had to use + the diplomacy at his command to wet her which she finally did in order /@ducated and polished in manner, dark, waving halr. but would pass for several years younger. | h that he might retrieve his losses and get on his feet again. He said when she had gone that it would be a long time before she gets back again.’’ Mrs. Botkin then told of the anonymous letters sent Mrs. Dunning from San Fran- cisco. “"Three jetters were sent her from San Francisco during a period of five months —the time that her husband was at Salt Lake. These letters Mrs. Dunning sent back to her husband, and on his return to San Francisco he permitted me to read them, as in fact he did all of his letters, even those of his wife. Their letters were to the effect that the writer—a woman who sald she was an Inmate of the house at 927 Garry street—felt it her duty to in- form Mre. Dunning of her husband's dissi- pations and intimacy with a woman who also occupied the house, because he was ' squandering money upon the woman which '| she (the writer) felt justly and properly be- longed to Mrs. Dunning and should be sent her.” Mrs, Botkin did not know the sender of | the letters, but believed them possibly to have been written by a Mrs. Forcade and her daughter, who occupied apartments in the house, 927 Geary street. HER CLEOPATRA COUCH. Mrs. Botkin is a clever woman. She and an interesting conversationalist, always ready | with bright repartee and French phrases. | She is @ woman of medium stature, plump, | rather prepossessing, with fine eyes and | She is 42 years of age, is | That she has a fondness for the drame, and mayhap at a time In her life had aspi- rations for the stage, suggests itself in marked style—so given is she to be dm- matical, yes, even trugical, in discussing the tragedy and the manner in which she as been associated with it. Reclining on a couch in a white silk dressing gown, she was interesting in the | extreme. “This. is my Cleopatra couch,’ she mur- mured with dramatic pathos, “but where is my Antony?’ : ON THE WAY TO PRISON. On the train from Stockton to this city Mrs. Botkin spoke little, and then in brief sentences to her husband. Occasionally she vouchgafed a word to Detective Gibson. He told her that she was nervous, but she denied it with some warmth. “Nervous? O, no.” she said, but the words came in gasps. Intervals occurred during | which she became calmer and appeared to forget her predicament. At times she was | unconscious of the stares of the passengers in the car. Crossing the bay her nervousness in- creased. A number of cameras were point- ed at her, and once or twice she attempted to evade the photographers, Several artists began to sketch her, and she asked Gib- ' that the | will ino evidence Her husband seconded the request. Gibson told her that the artists could not be evaded, and she might as well submit. “O, well, the humiliation has worn away,” she said. ‘I’m used to the notoriety and guess I can stand it a little longer. She tapped the deck nervously with her feet and felt her veil to make certain that no part of her face was exposed. HUSBAND SAT BESIDE HER. Her husband sat beside her and spoke to her now and then. Mr. Botkin was not silent, although very chary of his words He is a large man with a beard almost entirely gray and seems to be older than his wife. His attire is that of a prosper- ous merchant He is a grain dealer in Stockton and has a business of some ex- tent, “I have accompanied my wife to San Francisco to see that she is fairly treat- ed,”” he said, “We are confident that nothing more than the brief inconvenience of the arrest and perhaps of a trial, will result to us from this affair. It is well police have decided to make her Stand trial, She will have an opportuni- ty to clear herself of the absurd suspicion which is held by the police and newspa- pers.”’ Gibson took posseesion of Mrs. Botkin's trunks and other personal property. It be searched in the hope that it wiil contain evidence that the police can- use. Detective Gibson thinks that Mrs. Botkin will break down and confess. Chief of Police Lees says that while prac- tically all the evidence against Mrs. Botkin is held by the Delaware authorities, ends of circumstantial evidence that can be picked up here are such would direct suspicion toward her. “‘We have not seen the candy box and ita contents, and eso have been unable to work up the case. But we have ascertained, however, what places Mrs. Botkin In a bad light, even if she not the guilty person. “I have nothing that tends to implicate any other woman in the crime. There is of any conspiracy, so far as is known here, and there is nothing to justify the bellef that there was one. The murder wae evidently the act of a singu'arly vin- dictive person. I have received no corre- spondence from the Delaware authorities indicating that they suspect any one but the person whom they asked mé to arrest.” ——- } ---——- MRS.

There will unquestionably be a long and bitter fight over the extradit’on of Mrs. Botkin, or any other woman. The Attorney-General himself will go to San Francisco to make the fight. State Detective McVey started for San Francisco last night with the evidence he could take with him. He had all that was left of the polsoned chocolate, the box in which they came, the paper wrapper, with the cancelled stamps and postmark and superscript:on and the note and handker- chief that were enclosed. Word has been received from the San Francisco police that they must have affi- davyits from all the witnesses here to prove that the candy was received through the mail, that Mrs, Dunning opened it, that there was poison in it, that she and Mrs. Deane ate it and it caused ther death. In fact it is virtually a demand that the Attor- ney-General shall prepare his wholé cause | and try it in advance of the time when the | prisoner is in the handae of the State and | court of which he {s an officer. —_——_o—_—_- ORPHANED BY THE POISONER The Pitiable Condition of Leila Deane and Lizzie Dunning. -_—_ Special to the Post-Dispatch.

It can’t do any good.”’ Little Lizzie, as Mrs. Dunning’s chia ts familiarly called, has been much concerned since her mother’s death as to how the lit- tle one will find her when she, too, shall die and go to Heaven. “You can't go to Heaven without e fun. eral,” the child declared.

THE HE MAY HAVE TO RETIRE. In an Explosion of Gasoline He En- countered Serious and Perhaps. Dangerous Injuries. Harry Geer, the best trick, fancy and periloys bicyele rider in America, met with an accident last night which may result in his permament retirement from the cycling world. Geer, best known as the little professor, is a cyclist of world-wide reputation. Geer was at his headquarters at the 8t. Louls Aluminum Bicycle Store, %4 Pine street, at 6:30 last evening preparing a ce- ment for one of his tires. On the material of which his cement was being made he poured some gasoline. He Was smoking a cigar at the time, and a spark from it dropped into the receptacle in which he was mixing the cement. An explosion followed, and Geer was so badly burned about the face and neck that he had to be taken to his home at S404 diall’'s Ferry road, Baden, in a carriage. He was to have given an exhibition of his wonderful skill eas a cyclist by riding down the steps of the House of Public Comfort to-night. There is a platform in these steps which makes the feat all the more daring. He holds the record for riding down the steep- est steps of the Capitol at Washington, which he did in the fall of 189. Geer is known throughout St. Louis and the West as the best fancy and trick rider this city has ever turned out. He appeared last tall at Hopkins’ Grand Opera ouse and re- ee, gave a fine exhibition at Athletic "ark. The asecident may result in Geer’s ver- manent retirement. The boy is certainly playing in hard luck, as he had just re- turned from New York, where he had been promised a lengthy engagement, which he will now have to cancel.

GOLD BAND'S QUEER RACE. It Was So Funny That Her Owner Was Called in the Stand to Tell How It Happened. The weights for the Crysanthemum, the concluding stake of the season, were an- nounced yesterday. urday. . The distance is one mile, and only 2- year-olds are eligible to start. The value of the stake to the owner of the winning horse is $1200. Last year’s win- ner, Lieber Karl, was the winter favorite for more than one derby. The field for rtnis will scarcely be a@ representative one, W. Overton, the top-weight in the hand- icap, and the best juveniie in the West, is battling with the Bastern crackajacks. The Barrister, the next best youngster has so far shunned the Fair sear’s Crysanthemum » entered, Grounds.

The contest will probably be confined to those named above, but Evelyn Byrd is improving so rapidly that she may furnish the talent with the surprise that fillies are capable of supplying at this season of the year. be more than an his weight will Sea found cludes Lurdan 95. The only exciting finish in the races at the Fair Grounds Wednesday was in the con- cluding contest of the afternoon, in which Our Nellie nosed out Evelyn Byrd. Lines outrode the boy on the prettily named filly. Lines’ riding won the race for Tommie Mc- Hale. The feature of the day waé the extraordi- nary mistake made by the talent in the third race. Wilson, with Tommy Burns in the saddle, looked like ready: money, but Little Johnny Schorr advised Papa John Schorr not to bet on Wilson, and the old gentleman took the youngster’s tip. When the talent tumbied to the fact that the Schorres were scared to bet on Wilson, the aforesaid talent warnedly nodded and opined there must be a “‘getaway’’ job in the race. Goid Band was looked upon as the nigger in the woodpile and was played as if Jim Davis’ cheery “all right’ was already in. Wilson won all the way in the tortoise time of 1:43% for the mile. Gold Band burst a lung trying to get within 10 lengths of the winner. Her performance was 60 rank that Owner Curtis was called into the judge's etand to throw some light on the solar plexus blow given long suffering Mr. Pub- lic Form. The Crawfish appropriately won the open- ing race of the day. The daughter of imp. Shrimp, well played at 4 to 1, beat a dozen maiden fillies under Caywood's careful guid- ance. She never gave her backers a mo- ment’s uneasiness. There was a wild tip out on Fieeting Ray, ridden by Blogs, but third place was the best she could attain. George Grassmuck had a good deal of luck to land the second race with Mound City, as Borden was far away the best horse, and then followed the Wilson-Gold Band flasco. The racing piece of the day came next. Timemaker, the 8 to 5 favorite, with 110 ounds up, capturing the handicap from Be rue, who, with a more resolute rider, might have secured the verdict. C. C. Maffitt threw in for a purse with Sir Rolla in the mile and a sixteenth handi- cap in which the betting was a compliment to the handicapper. To-day’s card is more than an average one. The first three races will do to pass up, but the other moiety of the programme should be fertile with good racing. In the fourth number Belle of Memphis, Buckvidere and Gibraitar tie up together in a seven furlong handicap. Buckvidere has to concede weight to his opponents, but the son of Belvidere is so good just now that pe will probably perform the task set for ifm. Biggonet, the dam of Martimas, stayed at the post in 188 as a 2-year-old two hours and fifteen minutes at Saratoga and then won the Spinaway Stakes. Marti- mas, it will be remembered, stayed at the post in the Futurity on Saturday last for one hour and 55 minutes and then won the big race.

STEPHENS INDORSE IT? / Doubtless Gov. Stephens has read the public pledge made by the new Police Commissioner, Mr. Harry Hawes, to do all in his power to thrust aside the law and make appointments in the Police Department only on the approval of Democratic ward and precinct committeemen. It is incredible that Gov. Stephens has not learned of this revolutionary announcement of his latest appointee. If the reported utterance of young Mr. Hawes was not cor- rect he has taken no steps to amend it. He has not publicly Genied or explained his speech. It stands as his deliberate Giterance. What does Gor. Stephens think of it? Does he approve of the programme to degrade the Police Department by making patrolmen the subservient henchmen of machine politicians? Mr. Hawes holds his appointment by favor of Gov. Stephens. He wields his puwer as Police Commissioner only by the con- sent and approval of the Governor. The people are bound to assume, unless Mr. Hawes is rebuked by the Governor, that the policy he announces is indorsed by Gov. Stephens, and that Mr. Hawes was appointed to the Police Board for the purpose of using the police force for political purposes. ee —— aa The President can take the edge off that congressional in- quiry by removing Alger. = = PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF SANTIAGO. The public schools of Santiago, Cuba, will open Sept. 15 under the auspices of the American army. There are 4000 little ideas in Santiago which will be taught to shoot on the American plan. They will learn how to think straight. The ‘Yankee schoolmaster is abroad in Cuba and if the Cubans do not profit by his presence it will be because they are incorrigible. Gen. Wood is to be commended and congratulated. It is not usual for miJitary commanders in conquered territory think of schgpls and schoolmasters, but we Americans do not Care for the usual unless it is good. This incident may help foreigners to understand why Americans succeed so well in politics, business and war. = = = ,; i, ee ss It is very remarkable that nobody has suggested Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard for Peace Commissioner. a Lp i THAT PEACE JUBILEE. New York's Board of Aldermen have provided by resolu- tion for a peace jubilee in September. Invitations will be Sent to the President and high Federal officials and to offi- cialis of all the States. There will, be a grand military parade of soldiers of Shafter's victorious army. Why has no definite step been taken for the St. Louis peace jubilee in October? It is understood that President McKin- ley will accept the Omaha invitation. He can‘be brought to St. Louis, but prompt action is necessary. An invitation should go to him in such form that he cannot refuse to come. , A military and civic pageant can be arranged with other events of great interest, which will make the St. Louls dem- Onstration a grand success. All the people of the Mississipp! Valley may participate. The proposal has been heartily tndorsed by officials and © citizens. Let the practical work begin. i ee It it announced tn administration organs that the War De- riment in getting ready to feed the people of Cuba.

Instead of counseling a modest continental policy in pursu- @nce of the injunctions of Weshington, Jefferson and Monroe the wise men boldly put to sea and recommended the reten- tion of all the Spanish territory conquered in the war, either unter American sovereignty or as free self-governing com- m. ities under American protection. No doubt the American people are equal to the Gecide to undertake it. But they must expect many sorrows in discharging it. The office of Father General to the poor and needy is a thankless one at the best. Let us hope that "e Can make our new wards good without exterminating om, as we have exterminated the American Indians. ---. Commissioner Evans reports 1,040,356 pensions on the list nd more applications on file. The old saying that Republics fe ungrateful Coes not hold good in the United States, = = = MILES AND ALGER. Reports indicate that Gen. Miles is coming home from rto Rico to make it warm for Mr. Alger. : iver since the beginning of hostilities the air has been full rumors of friction between the Senior Major-General and Michigan politician. The trouble began when Alger’s vintees mixed up the supplies destined for the army at ‘pe. Train loads of stuff lined the railways for miles out- “tw * place, but nobody was able to get at it or dis- job if they em - ee —_—— tribute ft to the right command. Then Shafter’s commissary and medical departments fell into confusion. The men went hungry, the wounded were upcared for and the sick lay on the ground without shelter from the rain and exposed to the burning rays of a tropical sun. Gen. Miles straightened out both these tangles, making special trips to Tampa and San- mand. In this connection there is a story of a letter sent to the General from ihe President, ordering him to take charge at Santiago, but he never received it. Instead, a letter of dif- ferent import was received by Gen. Shafter from the Secre- tary, and Gen. Miles took charge of the Porto Rico picnic. It’s all very queer to say the least. The situation calls for an investigation. Let us have a search light turned on the War Department. = - a a There is a basis of reason and justice in the protest of vol- unteers against being sent abroad for garrison and police duty. Many of them have left positions and responsibilities to fight for their country and it is asking too much to re- quire them to do the work of regulars. The garrison work should properly fall to the regular army, and while an in- crease is probably necessary for this purpose, it need not be great. There is no need of a large standing army, and the American people have too much sense to consent to be bur- dened and menaced by one. = = TWO DEBTS OF GRATITUDE. The scarred sides of the Brooklyn peppered by Spanish shot and the diagram of the naval battle of Santiago showing that Schley’s flagship engaged the whole fleet of Cervera until the other American warships got within range set at rest any question as to the part played by Rear Admiral Schiey in the battle and as to the leadership of the victorious engage- ment. To a friend in private conversation Rear Admiral Schley disclosed what was never hinted at in his generous report. He said he expected to lose his ship, but believed he could hold Cervera’s squadron unti!] the other ships came up. This is the stuff of which American heroes are made. There never ought to have been any question as th the actual leaderslip of the Santiago battle. There would n: have been, nor would there have been any disparagement of Rear Admiral Sampson, if the fool friends of that sterling officer had not unnecessarily attempted to defend and laud him atthe expense of Schley. The people of the United States have demonstrated that republics are not ungrateful. This great Republic has two debts of gratitude to discharge to the two conspicuous heroes of the war whose splendid achievements crowned the navy with immortal glory. When it has made the incomparable Dewey Admiral it should reward the brave and generous Schley with the Vice Admiralship. Officials who have sat at their comfortable desks and dined at their high-cluss hotels, while American soldiers have starved and rotted through their neglect, have earned the thorough conten:pt of the American people. They will be relegated to private life as fast as the people can get at them. = —-—_ - GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY. The mechanic arts are the arts of the future. They are the arts that, backed by manliness and sound judgment, en- abled the American navy to prove its abounding superiority on both sides of the globe. It is for this reason that Missourians will note with satis- faction that the State University is just now making its greatest growth in the effort to provide our young men with the most complete education in these arts. The university has now twenty laboratories, occupying as many large roums and employing twenty teachers for the study of such useful branches of knowledge as practical elec- tricity, chemistry, machine and forge work, engineering, sur- veying, wood working, etc. Besides these, there are courses in agriculture, horticulture, veterinary work, etc. Thus, while the study of the languages, law and belles lettres is not neglected, the university has grown until it is particularly adapted to the education of the practical man. It is a splendia school for the ambitious young workman who desires to become perfect in technical and theoretical me- chanics. The coming session promises to witness a more extensive appreciation of these advantages than ever, by students from Missouri and elsewhere. The university has a great future and is doing its best to carry out its mission of enlighten- ment. = = " —_— = — Planting rice is better than fighting, even if it is for future war necessities. By the time harvest is ripe there will be peace in the Philippines and Aguinaldo can sell the stuff to the American army. This will be a good lesson in common sense, which the gold-collar statesman seems to need. Labouchere seey the “man on horseback” loom up behind the apparition of a great standing army for America. There is every possibility for tyranny in such an army, and no off- setting benefits that would warrant its creation. —_— = a We ought to have a strip of river front for park and prom- enade purposes.

There is a great opportunity for the American school marm at Santiago. Battery A did no fighting, but it was transported with the prospect. Democratic expanstonists: us a Stone.”’ To sum up the Republican platform In a few words—but really it cannot be done. The best that Agulialdo can do is to come to St. Louis and run for the House of Delegates. At this rate there will soon be as many “heroes of San Juan Hill” as there are ‘“‘oldest Masons.” Judging from the length of the Republican platform Boss Fil- ley’s typewriter will never be missed. Emperor William acting es a fireman recalls the fact that there are other brands just as warm as he.

GOING HOME. First Illinois Cava'ry Leaves Chicka- mauga for Chicago. TIONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn., Aug. 2. ~The First Illinois Cavalry left to-day for Fort Sheridan, at Chicago. The departure Was an enthusiastic one, as the men, al- most without exception, are pleased at the prospect of getting home and out of the service. The 158th Indiana, First West Vir- ginia and Sixth Ohio wiil leave late this evening for Knoxville, where they will re- main until further orders. These regiments compose the Second Brigade, Second Di- vision, Third Army Corps. Preparations are progressing am | for the work of mustering out the Second Ne- braska and the light artillery now here. Lieutenant-Coionel Frank D. Baldwin, who has been acting adjutant on the staff of Gen. Breckinridge for some time, has been appointed chief mustering officer, and will be allowed as many assistants as he needs. The artillery batteries to be mustered out here are Batteries A, B, C and D from Ohio, Batteries A and B from Georgia, and the 2th from Indiana. In response to rush orders all these batteries returned to-day from Lookout Mountain, where they have been on practice marches, Work will be commenced upon them to-morrow. The work of mustering out the Second Nebraska will be partly done here and will bo finished at Qmaha. The regiment will be started home as soon as transporta- tion can be secured. The number of sick at Camp Thomas is being rapidly decreased by the many sick men sent to their homes. Hospital trains provided with every comfort possible, leave daily for the various State capitals. EXPOSITION PICTURES Art Department Will Have Many fFa- mous Paintings. The art galleries at the Exposition build- ing are being renovated and prepared for the annual exhibition of art. Mr. Charles M. Kurtz, the director, who has been pass- ing the summer in the East, will reach St. Louis Monday, and the placing of the pic- tures will begin at once. Many of them are already here in charge of Assistant Director Cc. W. Rhodes, and the assurance is given that the exhibit.on this year will be fully up to the standard of excellence attained in former years. Recause of the war Mr. Kurtz has not adhered tuo his custom of going to Europe for pictures to be exhibited at St, Louis, Rut he has, nevertheless, secured some of the best of the new things from the nent, and his European exhibit will include paintings by Swan, England's great animal ainter; Mesdag, one of the greatest of Iolland’s marine artists; Meaure, the Hol- land cattle painter; Meinet and Pisarro, the Frenchmen, and other Europeans of note, Of American and St. Louis productions the exhibit is to include much that Is new and of highest merit. The art exhibition to be made in St. Louis this fall will be held in co-operation with three similar ex- hibitions at Chicago, Cincinnati and Phila- delphia, and the pictures exhibited here will be secured by the united efforts of these var.ous exhibitors and sent on from St. Louls as soon as the local art show ends.

Number of Pennsylvania Companies, Contl- . However, Are Not in It. CHICKAMAUGA, CHATTANOOGA ae CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 2.—The Iron Trade Review in its issue to-morrow will say: ‘Heavy purchases of Bessemer pig iron in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys at the furnacemens’ price of $10, furnace, have been the market sensation of the week. The event of farthest reaching import is the pructical conclusion of the deal for the amaigamation of the Minnesota Iron Cu. and the Illinois Steel Co. The merger has not come to the point of deciding detaiis, except as to relative stockholdings. It may be announced also that the negotiations for the acquisition of the Lorain Steel Co., which have been pending for several weeks, have been virtually closed in the past few days. The stocks of the two large western companies have bounded up in the past week and are now thought to have reached | the climax of the remarkable advances of the fortnight. “Part of this movement is the intrinsic improvement of all iron securities, due to the marked betterment that has come to the trade in August, Rumor is plentiful of further additions to the list of com- panies included in the merger, but denials |are made on behalf of the several Penn- |eylvania companies and ther is no reason 'to believe they have ever been seriously a factor in the plans made at Chicago. It remains to be seen how far an effort will be made by other ore producers to insture the destination of a considerable part of their product, or by other important steel companies to provide the bulk of their ore supplies at a cost l.kely to fluctuate only within narrow limits. The sellers of ore will probably find their trade for a time largely among furnaces whose opera- tions are not on a scale warranting the risks of a large mining investment.’ SUSPECTED FIREBUGS. Inquiry Into the Burning of a West End Store Building. The mounted district police are investi- gating an alleged attempt to burn a frame store building at 6180 Highland avenue. The information was furnished by John {Baugh and Fred Bohn, proprietors of a | merry-go-round located near the building 'in question. The firebugs are.a white man and a ne- gr The merry-go-round proprietors claim to have extinguished the fire three times. According to their story, the white man and the negro appeared at the merry-g0- |} round tent late Tuesday night and asked 'of soap. The loan was granted and in a few minutes smoke issued from the build- ing. Baugh and Bohn put the fire out and ; looked about for the two men who had borrowed their hatchet, but they could not be found.

Oop- eration of trepanning will be performed, NO ROBBERY AT ALL None of the St, Louis Banks Have Been “Plundered” by Anybody. There are several varieties of journalism in this city, but the est lemon tint of them all was illuminated Wednesday after- noon. With large, double-column headlines and Dblack-fa*e type a newspaper announced that a “Rig Bank Robbery” had been com- mitted in St. Louis, and that Chiefs Camp- bell and Desmond had visited the bank and were running dowa the burglars. The pa- per did not hesitate to give the amounts of the stealings and the dates on which they occurred. It went further and printed a three-col- umn picture illustrating the vaults of the alleged bank and showing the method by sobre the remarkable burglary was com- mitted. Naturally the publication created some- thing of excitement in banking circles, for the most extraordinary fact about it was that nowhere in the article was the name given of the bank alleged to have been robbed. Chiefs Campbell and Desmond at once denied all knowledge of such &n incident. Ther2 had not been an intimation to them from any source that a St. Louis bank had been robbed, and eo far as they knew the publication was purely and wholly ficti- tious. It was svon developed that the article was aimed at the old and substan- tial Boatmen’s Bank. The picture of the vaults was plainly intended to represent the Boatmen’s, and Chief Campbell said that bank was the only one he had been inside of lately and had called there as a private citizen to pay a social visit to one of the officers. Within half an hour the whole publica- tion was proved to be absolu ely ba ‘°l ss. Cashier Wil.iam H. Thomson of the Boat- men's Bank was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘This story, so far as it has any connec- tion with the Boatmen’s Bank, ia a base fabrication from beginanin to end,” said. ‘“‘The mere fact that the bank’s naMe is not mentioned emphasizes ite ut.er non- sense. “In reality, the report is an outrage, since it ts calculated to reflect discredit on every financial institution in St. Louts. ‘tinder the flaring headlines, ‘Big Bank Robbery,’ appears an interview purporting to emanate from the cashier of the so-called piundered bank. I am undoubtedly the man who is referred to, although my language to the ‘bank robbery’ reporter is misquoted in an unpardonable manner. “About 1 o’clovck Wednesday afternoon a reporter called at my office and requested’ verification of a rumor that the Boatmen’s Bank had been systematically robbbed for the past several months. I told the young man in unmistakable language that his information was absolutely false. “Then the reporter put this query ‘Haven't you been in consultation with the ‘police authorities relative to the robbery?’ was more nonplussed than ever. I Was trying to think how the question could have or.ginated when I suddenly remembered that Chief of Police Campbell and Police Commissioner Kingsland had paid me a ‘social visit about ten days ago. writing the article for a hatchet, some matches and a piece - The re- porter was apprised of this incident, but in he used it in an en- tirely opposite sense, making it appear that ‘the officials came to see me relative to the absurd robbery story “The whole thing is rot—rot—rot—an wun- truth, pere and simple.” SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY.

The charge against her was drunk on the street. Until two years ago the finger of suspi- clon was never pointed at Myrtle Gillette. Her home was in Kansas City, where her family stood high. She herself was hand- geome, educated and talented. Her taste in Gress was unsurpassed. She visited in the homes of estimable people in St. Louis and was welcomed into fine social circles in Kansas City. The end to all thia came on Aug. 6, 1856, when J. B. cker, a wealthy cattleman, shot and killed himself in a room at the Lindell Hotel. Then her disgrace was made known to the world. It was shown how she had left her own home ostensibly on a visit and traveled with the wealthy stock- man as hie wife.

She became addicted to the drug, but her day dreams were full of horror. She could always see the form of the man who had killed himself.

The 3000 newsboys will never forget their Wednesday night at the Battle of Manila, Neither will the 15.000 men and women who were present to welcome the little fellows. From the day the Maine was blown up in the harbor of Havana, down to the cap- ture of Manila by Admiral Dewey, the patriotic newsboys of St. Louls have been burning with enthusiasm for their native country. The Post-Dispatch managenient, being aware of the boys’ desire to witness the reproduction of the wrecking of the Maine and Dewey’s first glotivus victory decided to give the Post-Dispatch’s 300 street and branch newsboys the richest treat of their boyish lives. A representative of the Post-Dispatch was detailed to effect @rrangements with the managers of the Battle of Man:!a exhi- bition. As s00n as the plan was laid be- fore the trio of Hashagen Bros. they with Press Agent C, A. Ekstromer, entered hear- tily into the scheme, end with their as- sistants spared neither time nor expense in assisting the Post-Dispatch in making Newsboys’ Night, Wednesday, August 2&, the most successful of the season. “As soon as the announcement was made in the Post-Dispatch its readers entered into the spirit of the event, and turned out 15,000 strong to welcome the boys et the park and enjoy the exhibition. To handle the army of newsboys was a gigantic task, but no regular army of sol- diers ever showed better discipline. The first division, 1000 strong, started from the Post-Dispatch office, headed by John Brown's League Club. Drum Corps, a fine organization of colored boys, and each newsboy carried miniature United States fiags and the following banners: ‘Post-Dispatch Army of Newasboys."’ **There’s 3000 of Us in St. Louils.’’ ‘Dewey Is the Post-Dispatch Newsboys’ Idol.”’ ‘‘Newsboys Are Ready to Fight for Old Glory.” **Post-Dispatch Is St. Louis’ Favorite Paper.”’ ‘‘Dewey Sell the Post-Dispatch?
