occurred recently off Cape Flattery in which one canoe was lost and seven Indians were drowned The whale was discovered spouting off' the coast and following tbecustonaa of the Indians a report of tbe fact was made to the medicine man who called a hurried council and allotted a number of picked men to the different canoes The whale was successfully harpooned but at sun down it commenced to blow a northwester and the sea became so heavy that the canoes were obliged to disconnect and leave their victim to tire himself out battling with the air floats secured to him That night the wind increased in velocity and the sea ran mountain high and on the following day only two of the canoes were discernable By this time the whale was dead and the surviving canoes towed him to laud In the evening the

Thronged With Visitors But No On Total Loss Plaoed (259000 Si Joseph Mo September The New Erg Exposition wee destroyed by fire last night The fire started just after the close of the evening concert by orchestra and the buildings and grounds were still thronged with Visitors The art gallery bad just been closed when flames were seen issuing from the roof of' the passageway that connected it with the eonth end of the xuain hall The alarm was immediately given and the fire company which was kept on the grounds by the management responded promptly From I he point of origin the fire spread along the passageway in both directions toward the art hall and the main building and when the firemen got to work they found that they had two fires to fight Attention was first directed to the main building in the hope of checking the fiaiues there meantime the flames had made rapid progress among the inflammable material in the art ball and the heat became so intense that it set fire to the outside of tbe end of the mam hall The firemen had almost subdued the flames within but when this new danger arose they saw that their efforts to save the building would be in vain They kept at work however and fought bravely for an hour at which time they were forced to retire to save their lives The St Joseph firemen volunteered their assistance but the distance of two miles from the city where the exposition was located rendered it impossible for them to do anything The nearest hydrant was fully a mile and a half from the fire excepting the one being nsed by the exposition firemen When it was seen that tbe fire would not be stayed in tbe main and art halls attention was directed to prevent its spread In this the firemen were successful and the twenty-nine smaller buildings sur-Tonndiug were saved During ttie progress of tbe fire and While it was yet possible to enter the main building with safety Broncho Joe organized his band of Apache Indians which was one of the exposition attractions aud leading them into the blazing hall directed them to save what they could of the contents The carriage used Igp Gen Lafayette on his visit to America was on exhibition and the Indians carried it from the halL They attempted to make another sally into the bail ding but the heat was too intense The carriage was the only thing saved The loss ou tbe art hall and its contents consisting of exhibits of art by local talent principally amounts to about- $50000 Tbe main hall cost $75000 in construction and the eon-' tents consisting of exhibits of ail kinds were valued at a similar figure The largest individual losses were suffered by tbe Studebakers whose exhibit of carriages was valued at $12000 and the Huyett Piano Company whose 'splay of pianos was valued at $7500 The cylindrical steel car the City of Bt Joseph manufactured by the Steel Car Company of St Joseph at a cost of $40000 was also destroyed The total loss is difficult to estimate on account of the varied nature of the exhibits but the figure is placed at $259000 The fire is supposed tu have originated from an imperfectly insulated electric wire The exposition will be continued in Bpite of the disaster and the displays ol many of the exhibitors will be replaced in the smaller buildiugs Probable War Baltimore September Col Raine lately Consul General at Berlin has returned to Baltimore where he will resume the management of his paper the German Correspondent The colonel says conservatives of France and Germany do not desire war but Russian ambition and Panslavistic agitation may lead to it at any moment France and Germany should be friends as Russia and the semi-barbarian elements under the scepter of the Czar are dangerous antagonists to both "With the Russians war means the ascendancy of autocratic ideas the death-knell of Republicanism and constitutional government The thinking men of France are not blind to the objects of Russia and show little inclination to encourage the cv of revenge against Germany rather believing that sooner or later something may turn up to establish an entente cordiale between Germany and France the two great powers representing modern progress on the continent of Europe immense war preparations of 11 European nations and the tremendous costa of armament and consequent taxation may lead to exhaustion and Appeal to arms precipitating war gainst tbe

of the monopoly by assuring them of active support and co-operation on the part of the cotton merchants at the primary mark ts The cotton trade of the country has recognized the injustice of the existing system which permits a serious discrimination in favor of jute bagging and has applied the proper remedy by adopting a rule making an equitaole tare allowance that will no longer permit the weight of the bagging to play any part in determining the value of cotton bales It had been feared that some opposition would be encountered to tbe proposition to sell cotton in future at net weight instead of at its gross weight as at present but as the sequel proved there was a general recognition of ttie justice of the claims hence the resolution recommending the tare allowance met unanimous approval The rule adopted by the convention makes a tare allowance of twenty-four pounds on jute covered bales aud of only sixteen pounds on cotton covered bales which about represents the weight of the bagging ana ties This is a virtual allowance of eight pounds in favor of the cotton covered bales and very closely approximates the actual difference in the weight of the two coverings Too much praise cannot be given to the delegation of the local Cotton Exchange which championed the tare allowance proposition before the convention and we believe that tbe cotton trade of the country will recognize and appreciate their services in bringing to a satisfactory settlement a controversy that has engaged general attention lor a year past and has puzzled not a little many of the brightest

to-morrow morning for Oklahoma City Canadian Competition St Lonis September 16 Chairman Walker of the Inter-State Commerce Railway Association Jjho was interviewed yesterday was more hopefa' in alluding to the general situation than the public might suppose in the light ol sensational reports lurnisked from time to time purporting to emanate from headquarters It was true that a serious problem was presented in the Northwest and it threatened a loss of profits at the profit earning season of the year The situation in the Northwest however served as an illustration of the need for an amendment of the law so as to regulate Canadian competition in some way There is no donbt that the labors of the Senatorial committee will result in the recommendation of some amendments in justice to the American lines Tbe Inter-State Commerce Association bad operated as a tonic in preserving a healthy status and it would long continue to assert its wholesome influence With regard to the petition of the brakemen for some legislation looking to the compulsory use of automstic couplers Chairman Walker was clearly ot the opinion that Congress bad the power to enforce a police regulation for safety appliances in the operation of cars used in inter-State commerce Tbe general Government conld assuredly regulate the appliances for freight cars used in inter-State commerce if it had the power to regulate commerce itaelf BUe Forgot to Mention It Vic Reg told her little Parliament that owing to its liberal appropriations she conld pot her army and navy in a position to meet those of any

like caviare with his drama The evidence of the laundry art which was so grace fully demonstrated by the two pretty English women of the London Gaiety troupe not only appealed thrillingly to the blase yonng exquisite and the jaded old boy of the club windows but to that equally novel product of the last decade the woiuan-about-town These times of femaie athletic clubs boudoir fencing bouts and bachelors evolve women who like to be roused to a sense of their femininity The dancing of Letty Lind and Silvia Gray evoked a new feeling a sensation of curiosity The tantalizing lace frills and flounces revealed only to hide and ttie story of Taglioni who vowed that she could dance for hours in ballet skirts without showing ber knees and did was recalledahy the older generation There were rows of men and women at the Standard Theater eagerly watching every motion of the English daucers delighted with the sensuous grace of their movements no doubt but apparently with eyes entirely in
