! EPIDEMIC 1S LIKELY CONTINUOUS RAINS MAKE THE SITUATION MORE SERIOUS AT VALPARAISO. BARTHQUAKE SHOCKS STILL OCCUR TEN THOUSAND MEN ENGAGED IN SEARCHING RUINS FOR BODIES OF DEAD. Valparaiso, Aug. 25.—There were two slight earth shocks here during the night. Rain began falling later, increasing the sufferings of those who are living in tents. It is believed that it the rain continues much longer a serious epidemic is sure to break out. One of the worst features of the situation is the fact that the supply of chloride of lime, used in the disinfec- tion of the ruins, is exhausted and some time must elapse before fresh supplies can be obtalned. About 10,000 workmen are employed in clearing away the ruins here and in searching for bodies of those who lost their lives during the recent earth- quake and fires. In the wreckage of a house work- men found a child alive in a barrel, which had protected it from harm. Fernandez Blanco, governor of the province of Valparaiso, has proclaimed the city of Valparaiso in a state of slege and has conferred supreme au- thority on Captain Gomez Carreno of the navy. The prefect of police is <harged with the duty of collecting and distributing food. Santiago, Chile, Aug. 25.—Another severe earth shock has just occurred here. SEARCH FOR BODIES CONTINUES. About Seven Hundred Already Buried at Valparaiso. Santiago, Chile, Aug. 25.—The news | only ADOPTS REFORM SPELLING PRESIDENT WILL USE THE NEW 8TYLE IN DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE. Oyster Bay, L. 1, Aug. 25.—Presi- dent Roosevelt has announced that he has adopted the Carnegle reform spell- ing and that he has instructed the public printer that all official docu- ments from the White House, includ- ing president's messages, shall be printed in accordance with the recom- mendations of the spelling reform committee headed by Brander Mat- thews of Columbia university. This committee has published a list of 300 words in which the spelling is reformed. This list contains such words as “thru” and “tho” as the spell- ing for “through” and-“though.” The president’s official sanction of this re- regarded as the form movement is most effective and speediest method of inaugurating the new system of spelling throughout the country. Not will the printed - documents emanating from the president utilize the reform spelling but his correspond- ence also will be spelled in the new style. As the spelling reform commit- tee shall adopt new reforms they will be added to the president’s list and also to that of the public printer. While the order to the printer does not contemplate an immediate reform in the spelling of official documents from the executive departments in Washington it Is regarded more than likely that the the departments will fall in line with the president’s ideas and have their official documents printed in the new spelling.

New Commercial Treaty Between Spain and United States, ‘Washington, Aug. 25.—The state de- made the following statement concerning the new tariff partment has agreement with Spain: “The United States minister at Madrid having signed with the Span- of state an agreement ish minister giving to the United States the mini- recelved here from Valparaiso contin- | mum tariff rate of Spain and the most ues to confirm the worst impressions formed of the situation there. As a result of the strong measures taken to preserve order at least 150 robbers have already been shot. Bodies are still being taken out of the ruins and thus far about 700 have been buried. It is sald that an epidemic is almost certain to occur at Valparaiso as a result of the unsanitary conditions ex- isting there. The houses here are being more and more damaged by the continuing earth shocks. Suggestions have been made that the site of Valparaiso be changed, but President-elect Montt has declared that the idea of rebuilding Valparaiso at some other point on the coast was not feasible and that in his opinion the city should be reconstructed where its ruins now stand.

President Roosevelt Talks Over Polit. ical Situation With Him, Oyster Bay, L. I, Aug. 25.—Pres- ldent Roosevelt consulted with Postmaster General Cortelyou, who is also chairman of the Republican na- tional committee. It is believed that the president’s keen interest in the congressional campaign has prompted him to gather political information from every source, and that Mr. Cor- telyou's discussion with him was main ly on the political situation. Brigadier General J. Franklin Bell. ¢chief of staff, and Captain Hutchinson his aide, were in conference with the from the Orlent, brought news of|president regarding the settlement of piracy on the West river between the difficulty at Brownesville, Tex.. Hongkong and Canton, which has|caused by alleged indiscretions of col- greatly interfered with foreign trade. Following the attack on the steamer Salnma, in which Dr. McDonald was killed and Captain Joslyn and five oth- ers were wounded, an attack was made on five armed junks in tow of steam launches bound to Canton and a pitched battle ensued in which the pirates were driven off with heavy losses. German and British traders have called upon their ministers to urge upon China to take strenuous measures against piracy and a cam- paign against the pirates is expected. At the Art Museum.

MATMOTH. LIVE STOCK AMPHITHEATER TO BE DEDICATED. James J. Hill to ake the Address—Dan Patch and The greatest of all the great state fairs of Minnesota will be opened to the public on Monday morning Sept. 3, at 9 o'clock. Last year's fair was the largest yet held in the state, but this year's will easily eclipse it. Exhi- bits are more numerous in all depart- ments which have closed entries. while in the others there are certain indi- cations that the record of '05 will be surpassed. First and foremost as an attraction at the fair will be the new $110,000, livestock amphitheatre which is just being completed. It is the largest and best arranged of all the amphitheatres at the fair-grounds of the country and its arena is larger than that of the famous Madison Square garden of New York City. The new building is dedicated to the livestock industry of the northwest aud Cresceus to Speed on onday, Sept. 3— Half-Fare Rates Made Over Wide Territory. in addition will be races on the half mile track and a complete performance of the spectacular melodramatic pyro- technic wonder--Giregory’s *Moscow. For this great special scenery cover- ing acres is required and over 200 people are employed, Superb ballets, beautiful costumes, marches, drills, pantomime and numerous speclalty numbers fill out a. wonderful specta- cular performance. The city of Mos- cow is faithfully represented in the scenery, and the costuming is correct and thoroughly Russian. The scenes and action is during the horrible riots of recent years and the city burns at the close giving splendid opportunity for the introduction of fireworks show= ing the highest art of the pyrotechnist. Following the spectacle there i3 & half hours exhibition of Gregory's fire- works—the finest on earth. Much the sume program w!ll be giv- DAN PATCH AND' CRESCEUS. These two great kings of the turf will go against the worlds records, of 1:55% and 2:02% respectively, on Monday, Sept, 3, the opening day of the fair: the formal dedication will be by James J. Hill the most famous railroad man of modern times and a lifelong pro- moter of livestock as the safeguard of tarming interests. His speech will be delivered in the amphitheater on Mon- day morning at 11 o'clock. After this formal opening of the fair and dedication of the amphitheater, the visitors will be at liberty to amuse themselves among the exhibits. These they will find in perfect order. It is a steadfast rule of the management of the Minnesota fair to insist on having exhibits in place before the opening hour, Amusements will be startéd up right after lunch on Monday. An immense amusement program will be put on be- fore the grand stand commencing at 1 o'clock and lasting all the afternoon. All kinds of races will be on the pro- gram, but the leading features of the afternoon will be the attempts of Dan Patch “King of Pacers” and Cresceus, “King of Trotte to lower their own world’s record of 5% and 2:02% re- spectively. These are the two most famous -stallions in the world; both now Minnesota horses. It will be an event of a lifetime to see them on the track together. Other great events will come oft the same afternoon. A 2:30 class trotting race for a purse of $2,500. and & 2:09 pace will be sensational affairs. Then the six days ladies relay riding en each day of the fair, The races are varied each day and of course, Dan Patch and Cresceus can appear but on Monday; but all the other great features will be seen each day. However Monday is easily the great< est.day of the. fair and an enormoys attendance—possibly -of . 100,000 people —is expected.

It reaches from Sault Ste Marie on the east to the Missouri river on the west and Winnipeg on the North. An exceedingly large and important cattle exhibition will be held during the fair and auction sales of Aber- deen-Angus, Hereford and Shorthorns will be held in the great amphitheatra on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons respectively.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND DEPOSITORS SURROUND SUSPENDED CHI- CAGO BANK. Chicago, Aug. 25.—Sixty policemen were overwhelmed by a mad rush of men and women who were determined to get the first money paid out of the | vaults of the ruined Milwaukee Ave- nue bank. Receiver Fetzer had made arrangements to pay 20 per cent to 6,000 of the 22,000 depositors and everybody’ was anxious to be among the 5,000. At daybreak the crowds began to gather around the bank and by 8 o'clock it was surrounded by 15,000 persons. The sixty policemen detailed at the bank were unable to handle the crowd, the greater part of which was unable to understand the English lan- guage. Forty more officers were finally sent to the bank and even then order was restored with difficulty. It seemed impossible to make the depos- itors comprehend that although only 5,000 were to be paid the first day the others would be paid just as much within the next few days. At one time the crowd threatened fairly to storm the doors, shouting in foreign {ongues. WAS IN LONDON AUG. 10. Latest Rumor as to Whereabouts of Paul O, Stensland. Madison, Wis.,, Aug. 25.—That Paul 0. Stensland, the missing president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chieago, was in London Aug. 10 is the statement made in a letter from the inglish capital received by Madison relatives of Peter O. Stromme, a for- mer Chicago newspaper man. Stromme, who knew Stensland well, writes that he met the banker in London and went to call on him later in Stensland’s apartments. The banker had left in the meantime for Flushing and the south of Europe. Stromme says that Stensland apparently had plenty of money. B DEADLOCK FINALLY BROKEN. lowa Senatorial Convention Nominates on’ 3,699th Ballot. Eagie Grove, Ia., Aug. 25.—The Re- publicans of the Thirty-seventh sena- torial district of Iowa nominated C. F. Peterson of Clarion on the 8,699th ballot. The first convention was held six weeks ago and after balloting for two days adjourned in deadlock. Four successive sessions failed to nom- indte, but at the fifth session Dr. F. C. Ward, the candidate- from Eldora, withdrew, leaviiig the race between B. C. Chase of Webster City and C. F. Peterson of Clarion, most of his strength going to Peterson. IMPURE FOODS IN FRANCE. Paris Paper Severely Criticises Pro- ducers and Dealers. Paris, Aug. 25.—After the great to- 10 made by the European press over the revelations of the Ameérican canned meat scandals it is not unin- teresting to find in the leading Paris newspaper a conspicuous article show- Ing the French people long have been victims of outrageous practices by edulterators of food products. The Matin piblishes a leading art- fcle with a map showing the chief supply centers in France and declar- ing that the alimentary products fur- nished by a majority of them have been death dealing in character. To be sure the Matin points out that this horrible condition will be remedied by a law, the passage of which will be secured by M. Ruan, minister of agriculture, but the paper does not hesitate to say the people who have furnished these products have been divided-into two classes, whom it frankly describes as thieves and assassins. That there may be no mistake as to its meaning the Matin characterizes as thieves those who have been selling oleomargarine as butter, shop sweep- ings as pepper and horse meat as lark ple, and assassins those who have been selling skimmed milk as an anti- septized article and thereby murder- ing infants to the number of 50,000 a year.

Springfield, Mo., Aug. 25.—The jury in the case of Doss Galbraith, the al- leged mob le@ter, had not reached a verdict when court opened and the indications were that they would dis- agree. When the jury was dismissed for the night it was stated that they stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction. THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. Japanese Government Looking Intc Seal Poaching Incident. ‘Washington, Aug. 25.—Through the Japanese embassy at this capital the Japanese government is making a thorough investigation of the incident which resulted in the killing of sev- eral Japanese poachers on St. Paul Island, of the Pribyloff group, and the capture of twelve other Japanese, who subsequently were taken to Valdez, Alaska, to answer before the United States court there for raiding the fur seal rookeries on St. Paul island. No disposition is manifested by the Japa- nese government to make trouble over the incident, but it naturally desires to ascertain all the facts relating to it. May Save Wrecked Steamer. Honolulu, Aug. 25.—The wrecked steamer Manchuria, heavily anchored against any further drift inshore, is believed to be safe from danger for months unless in case of storm. The steamer’s bottom, being deeply em- bedded on the reef, involves the grave possibility of her breaking up qaickly during a northerly storm, Envy In the Garden. “I have done nothing but blush all.| day,” complained the rose, “and still that idiot of a poet goes on talking of: the modast violet, as if there were not athera.” B ANXIOUS TO GET DIVIDENDS BIGAMY IS CHARGED CHICAGO MAN WHO RETURNED MAY GET AWAY THIS YEAR.

MAKES NEW HIGH RECORD. Union Pacific Touches 189 in Sales of Large Blocks. New York, Aug. 25—The market was weak most of the day, but under- went a complete change in the last fifteen minutes, enormous- buying of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific sending the former to 189, a new high record, and Southern Pacific to within a fraction of its high price of the early week. Union Pacific changed hands in blocks of thousands of shares and there was a wild rush to cover by the shorts. Aside from rumors of fur- ther dividend disbursements there | was no news to account for this new movement in the Harriman stocks. Steel common was carried up in the movement to 47%, a record figure, and the entire list closed active and strong. RATE LAW WILL BE OBSERVED.
