Has Sent No Ultimatum to Nicaraguan Government. London, Aug. 11.—The foreign office authorizes the Associated Press to pos- itively deny the New Orleans report that the British minister to the Cen- jtral American states has bee ordered from Guatemala City to Managua to deliver an ultimatum to the Nicara- guan government regarding the seiz- ure of the Cayman (Jamaican) fishing crews by the Nic- araguan authorities. The matter is un- iscussion by the two govern- but the foreign office says no suggestion of force was contaired in any of the British communications and while the Pritish government adopted a strong attitude it is believed that a factory adjustment by diplomatic means will be cte The American government would un- doubtedly havk been notified as a mat- ter of courtesy if Great Britain in- tended to occupy a Nu'ua:’u'm port. NO SLATE AGREED ON. Nebraska Democratic Convention in Sessicn at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11.—The person- nel of the Democratic state ticket was entirely in doubt when the convention was called to order here during tie day. A persistent story to the effect that little opposition will be made to Roose- velt and t! the fusionists will bend all_their efforts towards carrying the legislature, so that Mr. Bryan may go to the senate, was in circulation right up to the convention hour. Tt is practically settled that there shall be two electoral tickets in the field, one Democratic and the other Populist, but that the same names for state officers and the legislature shall appear on the two tickets. This would almost certainly give the state to Roose- velt, at the same time giving the fu- sionists a better chance to elect a United States senator. UNUSUAL INCIDENT CLOSED. Mayor of Dubuque Names Sponsor for New Gunboat. Washington, Aug. 11.—Mayor Berg of Dubuque, Ia, has concluded that it would be desirable for him to name a sponsor for the gunboat Dubuque, to be launched at Morris Heights, N. Y., on the 27th inst. A few days ago he notified the navy department that for various reasons he was unable to find in Dubuque a young woman whom he could designate as the vessel's s sor and that the departm: have to select the sponsor. The may- or's statement created a commotion in fowa, particularly in Dubuque. The mayor has now notified Secretary Mor- ton that he named Miss Margaret Tredway, a daughter of the president of the Dubuque club, as sponsor for the vessel. His action in the matter ter- minates an incident rather unusual in the annals Of lllr‘ nav. dopmlmu\t WALDECK ROUSSEAU DEAD. Former French Premier Fails to Sur- vive Operation. Paris, Aug. 11.—Former Premier ‘Waldeck-Rousseau died during the aft- ernoon as the result of an operation. The former premier died at Corbeil, eleven miles from Paris, at 2:35 p. m. Doctors Armour, a celebrated sur- geon of Canada, and Hanskper, a Ger- man specialist, met in consultation at Corbie during the morning and decided that an operation was the sole chance of saving the patient, whose weakne was extreme, the liver having ceased to perform its functions. The operation, in which the above named surgeons were aided by Doc- tors Cuneo and Maurice of Bordeauy, began av nton and lasted two hours, the patient sinking and expiring short- ly after its completion, AMERICAN COUSULATE ROBBED. Paris Thieves Secure Small Amount in Cash and Stamps. Paris, Aug. 11.—Consul General Gowdy, on arriving at the American consnlate during the morning, found that his private desk had been forced, the woodwork badly smashed, petty cash and postage stamps amounting to several hundred francs abstracted and his papers ransacked. The big safe of the consulate bore conspicuous ful attempts to e it open. The safe contained a large sum in cash and important doc- uments. The police .are making the fullest investigations. PROMISES FAVORABLE ANSWER. Porte Will Yield to American Demands Shortly. Constantinople, Aug. 11.—Minister Leishman has received a message from the porte promising a favorable com- munication in a day or two regarding the Awerican representation in refer- ence to the school question and other matters. Messina, Sicily, Aug. 11.—The Amer- fean squadron bound for Smyrna, con- sisting of the Olympia, Baltimore and Cleveland, passed through the straits at 2:15 p. m. Two Men Struck by Train. Minneapolis, Aug 11.—With his legs cut off above the knees and suffering terrible agony James Macki was found in the Northern Pacific yards at Twen- tieth avenue north and the river. Ly- ing beside him was Max Singeler, with a bad scalp wound. The men had evi- dently been run down by a train. They were taken to the city hospital in a precarious condition. Few Men Return to Work. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 11.—Infor- mation received from the various coal mines of the five big furnace compa- nies in this district, which gave no- tice that their mines would be open during the day to union and nonunion labor alike at a scale of wages below that heretofore in effect, indicates that only a handfull of men went to work. King Edward Goes to Bohemia. London, Aug. 11.—King REdward started for Marienbad, Bohemia, dur- ing the day to take his annual cure at the baths. He traveled incognito as Duke of Lancaster. The Kking’s stay at Marienbad will be entirely of : private character, with the excep- lon of the occasion of Emperor Jo:- seph’s visit to him there. PARKER NOTIFIED In a Drizzling Rain That He Is the Democratic Presiden- tial Nominee. Candidate Stands With His Head Bare in a Shower During the Ceremonies. Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Judge Alton B. Parker was during the day formally notified of his nomination as the can- didate of the Democratic party for president. The ceremony occurred on the lawn of Rosemount, his handsome country home, and in addition to the members of the notification committee and many ! prominent men of his party, hundreds | of the candidate’s friends and neigh- | bors assembled to witness the event. The weather was not auspicious. The sky was overcast and threatened a downpour, but in spite of these un- favorable signs it was decided that the ceremony should be held on the grounds instead of on the boat which brought the notification committee and its guests from New Yor Be- fore Representative Champ C had | concluded bis formal address the rain | began to fall fitfully, but Judge Parker Eluu(l bareheaded in the shower and m Mr. Clark’s hands the ! which informed him of | um al letter the action of the St. Louis convention. | Before the ceremonies were begun the Seventh Regiment band, which was stationed on the grounds near the | house, played several selections. Clark Begins His Address. Judge Packer's family was escorted to the summerhouse on the lawn Ly | National Chairman Taggart and New | York State Chairman Meyer. Mr. Tag- | gart and Mr. Meyer, ompanicd by Representative Clark, chairman ol the notification committee, then escorted Judge Parker from the house Lo the! stand. The candidate was greeted with cheers. There was no wait in ti ceremonies. As soon as the littic party reached the stand Represcuti- tive Clark began his address. Mr. Clark was enthusiastically cheered throughout his address and at its close was accerded an ovation, | which was merged into the reception ! extended to Judge Parker. During the | speaking rain began to fall fitfully and ! many umbrellas were raised. | Judge Parker, with bared head, stood on the platform throughout the speech : with utter disregard of the rain whick ;| dampened him from head to foot and ! spotted his linen. His composure was unrufied and he smiled with the spe tators at the witticisms with whi Mr. Clark interspersed his address. Mr. €lark concluded at 6_and then presented to Judge Parker the formal notification signed by the chairman and other members of the committee. ' Flags were frantically waved at the | close of Mr. Clark’s speech, the spec- | tators cheered and it was a full min- | ute before Judge Parker was pcl'miliu(l to speak. Before beginning his nddless of ac-| ceptance Judge Parker advised the crowd to gel under the trees out of | the rain. “We don’t mind the wet.” was the spontaneous reply. ludge Parker began his address at 2:18 p. m. and concluded at 2:564. He was given tremendous and continuous applanse and the band played the “Star Span- gled Banner.” Parker's Speech Applauded. Judge Parker’s speech was inter- rupted frequently by applause and cheers, which extended the duration of its delivery considerably. H:: pledge that he would, if elected, re- | fuse a renomination, was received with | a long continued burst of cheering. He ' followed his manuscript closely, the | one exceptinn being an extempore re- mark at the outset to the effect that he desired to make plain beyond any possible misunderstanding his belief in and adherence to the gold standard. Jndge Parker’s statement on the gold standard was as follows: “I want it thoroughly understood | throughout the country, so understood | that misunderstanding in the future will be impossible, that I am for the gold standard of currency and that if elected 1 shall do all in my power to maintain that standard.” At the close of the speech Judge Parker held an informal reception, | which was begun on the speaker's | stand and continued on the Rosemount veranda. In the meanwhile bombs were fired in salute from the deck of the yacht Sapphire. Nearly an hour was occupied in greetings between Judge Parker and the guests at Rosemount. The party then re-embarked on the Sagamore, which conveyed it to Hyde Park, where a special train was taken for New York. FAMILY ALMOST WIPED OUT. | Mother and Three Children Killed in Railway Wreck. Chicago, Aug. 11.—A mother and her three little children were killed and a number of other persons seriously in- jured in a collision between a west- bound Baltimore and Ohio local pas- seger train and a Chicago and Erie freight train at the Brighton Park rail- way ecrossing at Western avenue and West Thirty-ninth street. The collision followed a frantic ef- fort on thé part of the crossing flag- man to change the signals to 'the freight train, the crew: of which he had given a signal that all was clear for them to back across the tracks, The passenger train, which was ap- roaching rapidly, was struck by the reight cars and two of the coaches ‘were overturned. 7 One of the freight cars crashed through the woodwork of one of the coaches, where the persons killed were seated. 'l‘hey “were a_family of flva. lmi C. Swartz, the father, was I the omly one who eScaped with his life. Although- taken from the wreck unconscious and suffering from bhroken bones and bruises it is Lelieved that his injuries will not prove fatal. The mother and three children were killed instantly SAD DAY IN PUEBLO. Funerals of Many Wreck Victims Held in Colorado Town. Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 11.—The beauty of the day was marred for hundreds of Pueblo citizens who witnessed the | passing of friends and relatives whose bodies were leing conveyed to their final resting places. The undertakers and liverymen were severely taxed in supplying hearses and vehicles. ‘Many bodies were sent to other cities. Sad, {ndeed. were some of the pictures to be seen. Instances of father and mother being borne to the grave, fol- lowed by three or four orphan chil- dren, were not rare. The -search for victims which has been so faithfully conducted the past two days was resumed at dawn, but the chances of further 1 dead grow lainter as the time passes, although many persons supposed to he victims are as yet unaccounted for. The work of identifying the victim: has Deen - =ry difficult. The na i have been duplicated and quadrupli- cated with trifiilng variations until the lists have been swelled to ninety, one hundred and even more. The Ii identified dead numbers seventy with three still unidentified and twenty-eight missing. LOST JEWELS FOUND. Missing Gems Valued at $200,000 Lo- cated in Owner’s Safe. New York, Aug. 11.—Mrs. Ogden | Goelet's jewels, valued at $200,000 and which were reported stolen from New- { port, were found by her in the safe in this city. Mrs. Goelet made the “find,” it is said, on the instigation of private detectives and Chief of Police Rich- +ards of Newport, who were simultane: ously seized with the idea that the missing property might be secured under lock and key in its accustomed place. ‘Why the idea did not strike the de- tectives and the chief of police sooner is not known, as beyond modestly ad- mitting that they told Mrs. Goelet where to lay her hands on the jewels the sleuths refuse to talk. One of the chief mysteries of the case now is why the detectives, if they knew the jewels were in the safe in this city, did not inform Mrs. Goelet as soon as she not. ified them of her supposed loss. Another mystery of prime impor- tance is if the jewels really were stolen how did they get back into the safe in this city to be opportunely found by their owner? Cigar Stub Injures Woman’s Eye. St. Paul, Aug. 10.—Miss Naunie Johnson of South St. Paul met with a very peculiar accident, the resulf of which, it is feared, will be the total {loss of the sight of one of her eyes. As Miss Johnson was walking along | the street with two other persons a man passing in a buggy threw away a cigar stub, the lighted end of which struck Miss Johnson in the eye and .some of the sparks and ashes pene- | . trated beyond the eyelids. More Peace Rumors Regarding Stock ‘Yards Trouble. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Steps looking to a settlement of the stock yards strike are to be initiated at a conference be- tween the Retail Meat Dealers’ asso- ciation of Chicago and the Market ‘Wagon Drivers’ union, according to re- ports that reached the packinghouse teamsters during the day. Extension of the picket lines about wholesale and retail meat markets was also promised by union officials, A conference of the leaders was held and plans -were made to shut off ice and meat from more establishments pat- ronizing the big packers. There was a revival of talk during the day concerning the formation of a new stock yards corporation to build a general stock yards on the Stickney tract on tho Chicago drainage canal This project is credited to the Hately Bros.. former packers, now engaged in board of trade operations. They are said to have secured extensive in- terests in the properties that were once the possessions of President Stickney of the Great Western road. In this connection Isaac Heitner, a ca tle speculator at the yards, who h: also conducted slaughtering oper: tions, has secured two killing plan; and will enter the field as an inde- pendent packer. One of the plants is close to the Stickney tract. City officials began an active inves- tigation into the conditions surround- ing the housing of nonuion men and women in the stock yards during the day in response to an appeal made by union men to Mayor Harrison. The officials refrained from making any comment on the investigation, ing their views would be embodied in a report to '.he mayor. GENERAL STRIKE AGREED ON. All Garment Workers in Chicago Or- dered to Quit Work. Chicago, Aug. 11.—The e board of the Garment Workers' union has agreed to endorse the strike of the cutters and will call ont all the union members, whether men or women. This action means that 6,000 to 7,060 tailors will be made idle. When the cutters quit on a technical disa- greement over hours of lahor and wages it w not thought serious by the employers, for it was the dull sea- son and few large orders were on hand. The calling out of “all the garment worker&has put a different phase on the affair and it now seems likely that the cutters, having won their point with the executive board, will be able to tie up all the shops in Chi- cago and seriously embarrass the fall trade. utive Two New Eritish Battleships. London, Ang. 11.—The admiralty has invited the Clyde shipbuilders to tender for two battleships of 16,500 tons and high speed. It is said that these vessels, in the matter of arma- ment and armored protection, will eclipse anything yet attempted. That the admiralty officials are in a hurry to get the vessels started is indicated iby the fact that the tenders must be sent in by Sept. 9, which is unusually short notice. EFFORTS TOjN’D STRIKE. SPREADS TO NEW YORK General Strike of Packinghouse Employes in Many *‘Beef Trust” Plants. Men Say That the Tie-up is Com- plete, But Packers Assert They are Operating. New York, Aug. 11.—Fcllowing the ultimatum given the packers by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch- ers’ union that a general strike would g0 into effect during the day the or- der became effective at the time set. The plants affected are those affiliated with the so-called “beef trust.” A difference of opinion exists al- ready as to the number.of men on strike, the union opinion being that the strike is complete, while the pack- ers state that only about 50 per cent of the men have left and that these places will be quickly filled. The United Dressed Beef company claims to have about a month’s supply of beef in the refrigerators. Until this supply is about exhausted Persident Blumenthal said there would be no raise in prices. The Schwarzchild & Sulzberger com- pany, it was said, was doing practi- cally no business, as the men, almost to a unit, have quit work. DEPORTED BY MASKED MEN. Former President of Miners’ Union Re- turns to Victor, Colo. Victor, Colo., Aug. 11.—John Harper, former president of Victor Miners’ un- ion and late manager of the miners’ union store in this city, one of the de- ported unionists, returned to the camp Tuesday. During the night he was seized at his home by a party of masked men and driven out of the dis- trict. Mr. harper’s son, Ritchie, about twenty-one vears of age, was also com- _ pelled to accompany his father. Young Harper, however, was brought back about an hour after his father had been taken. STRIKERS HOLD UP TRAIN. Chase Out Nonunion Men With Clubs and Dump Baggage. Kansas City, Aug. 11.—A mob of 200 men and boys, packinghouse strikers and their sympathizers, stopped an in- coming train carrying strike breakers at Riverside, Kan., drove the nonunion men from the train with clubs, threw their baggage into the Kaw river and set fire to the car. The police put out the fire before any damage had beer done. No arrests weré made.
