MANY CLAIMS ARE OF LONG STAXDING—TEE NEXT STEP TO BE TAKEN. The United States and the government of Chile have definitely agreed upon the appoint- ment of a claims commission to mect at Wash- ington to settie the long-pending claims of citi- zens of this government against the little South American republic, This action the ility of which was first announced by the Stan is the result of negotia~ tions between Minister Egan, acting under in- structions of the State Department, and the new administration which is now conducting Chilean affairs, Secretary John W. Foster announces today the receipt of a cablegram from Minister Egan conveying the intelligence that an agreement has been reached. The result of the negotia- tions was received with satisfaction at the State Department and will be a source of gratifica- tion to the citizens of the United States, who have been endeavoring for many years to get reparation for losses inflicted upon them in the conduct of their commercial enterprise by the Chilean government. i MANY LONG-STANDING CLAIM, ASrar reporter was informed at the Btate Department today that some of these claims date back fcr half a century, and many of the original claimants are dead, leaving their exec- utors the task of endeavoring to obtain jus- tice. The greater number of the claims, however, grew out of the war between Chile and Peru, which was waged twelve years ago, and resulted in damage and loss to the commercial enter- prises of citizens of several nations. Every government except the United States has succeeded since then in obtaining repara- tion for ite mariners and merchants. ‘This gov- ernment alone has been relegated to the rear of the “ile of successful claimants. It will still be a long time, however, before the claimants see the color of their ‘money. ‘The agreement just reached is but the first step toward the accomplishment of the final result, A great many forms will have to be gone through with and considerable manipulation of diplomatic red tape before the commission comes finally down to. the question of the dollars and cents involved. A claims commission is simply a board of arbitration und must be organized by treaty and the rati- fication thereof. ’ THE NEXT STEP TO BE TAKEN. The next step will be for Minister Egan to send the terms of the agreement home for ap- proval. The treaty may then be submitted to the Senate for ratification, if it should provide for the possible consideration of any claim against this government. After that the commission will be appointed, will meet in Washington and make the awards of damages. ‘The action of the commission will be final. A claims commission usually consists of three members, one appointed by each of the disputin, those two. powers and the third selected by ithe Inet claims commission 40 most the Venezuelun commission, which its work in 1889, In this case one Americ decided upon the selection of a third Am Judge Findlay. Other claims commissions in recent years have met here were the British commission un- the treaty of 1871 and the French commis- sion. ANOTHER HOT WAVE, It Is Likely to Come Here in a Few Daye, The odds are about even that a sure-enough hot wave wil! come this way in a few days. The weather bureau does not absolutely pre- dict it—they won't bet on anything up there now except that it is cooler today than it was yesterday. They want a sure thing. But, on the other hand, from certain conditions existing and the likely tendency of such conditions to produce results of a certain nature, the weather bureau man does not, at this time, advise any one to count on very cool weather. Away up on the northwest bouridary of the United States there is a storm. It has been al- moat stationary for twenty-four hours, but ex- tsa tendency to move eastward. If it does ‘| sweep along the northern boundary toward the Atlantic coast it will cause a revh of warm air up from the south that will produce a decidedly ; hot spell hereabouts. However, if that storm crosses the line and comes down into the United States it will be followed by cooler winds that will make a delightful change in the tempera- ture, ‘The trouble has been heretofore that those Sarkntchewan and Astiniboin storms moved just far enough to the northward of this section to cause the up-rush of hot air without bringing the cool air down from the north. AN IMMEDIATE COOLER PROSPECT. 80 much for the future—for Saturday or Sunday, perhaps. As for the immediate present there is cooler prospect. The presence of local storms has lowered the tem- rature u few degrees—yes, the weather ureau man did say yesterday that it would— and it may be one or two degrees cooler to- morrow. Washington continues in the front rank of hot cities. It was 94 yesterday, which figure was only excelled by Philadelphia, where 96 was reported. Lualtimore, Boston and Lynchburg were 9, and this was high-water mark for the whole country outside of Arizona. the big cities between Washington and the Mississippi river registered 88 and 90-and the lake towns were about five degrees cooler. In fact, with the exception of the four cities mentioned above, where it was 94, the tem- perature of the whole country was remarkabiy even, Gis about 85. The weather burenu man says he wouldn't be surprised if it rained tonight, but he wouldn't bet quarter on it, ee ee SUITS BY THE CANAL COMPANY.

Kolb Followers in Alabama Threaten Bloodshed. CLOUDBURST IN TEXAS. H. CLAY KING SAFE IN PRISON. Gov. Buchanan's Reasons for Commuting His Sentence. Nasuvizte, Texx., Aug. 11.—H. Clay King, the Memphis murderer, arrived in this city at nearly hour this morning, and was at once conveyed to state prison by Sheriff McLenden. ‘The sheriff brought the prisoner via Nortons- ville, Ky. Their journey was a quiet one. “Gov. Buchanan, will you give me your rea- sons for the commutation of the sentence of Col. H. Clay King?” asked an Associated Press correspondent of the chief executive this morn- ing. “With — replied the governor, “‘and I will do it briefly. irst, I thought that King should have had a change of venue. Affidavits to the effect that Juror Smith had communi- cated with outside parties and expressed an opinion about ghe case were filed with me. These affidavits could not be introduced in the court of record because it was too late. The action of Juror Mustin and of the jury in going to Arkansas to deliberate upon the case also had their weight; the dissension of one of. the supreme judges in defense of partial insan- , the pleadings of his wife and children and the most prominent men of the country, besides the hundreds of lettersand petitions; these were my reasons for commuting the sentence. I am responsible for my action,” added the Gov- ernor. “I thought I was doing right and I acted-according to my belief.” He then handed the reporter a petition signed by twenty-six Senators and Congressmen. Among the documents filed with Gov. Buch- = in reference to the King case is the follow- ing: “Gray GanLes, Buzzarp’s Bay, Mass., July 27. Mra, E. X. White. Dear Madam: I sympathize with you deeply and sincerely in the conviction of your uncle. Iknow but little of the facts in his case, but confess that my slight information on the sub- ject led me to suppose that enough of mitiga- tion would be shown upon his trial to re- duee the grade of offense below that of the highest known to our law. I have been #0 moved by your appeal that I have seriously considered whether there was _not something I might do to help you. Iam forced to the con- clusion, however, that I ought not to interfere by applying to the governor for the mitigation of the “sentence pronounced upon your uncle. Such an application on my be based on the sympathy which I feel for you and my experience teaches me that ‘such a consideration ought not to control executive action in cases of this kind. Notwithstanding this I feel hut there are cir- cumstances in your uncle's case which ought to {ere strongly to the pardoning power, and I ould earnestly hope that such representations may be ade to your governor as will avert the execu- tion of the death sentence which hus bee: nounced. Very truly yours, ROVER CLEVELAND. Mrs. White is a niece of Col. Clay King. >. THE BORDE: SQUEST. Detectives Gusily Engaged in Following Up . Clues. Faun River, Mass., Aug. 11.—The Borden | inquest was resumed this morning with Charles | Sawyer, who guarded the door of the house while Ofiicer Allen rm to the central station, as mn pro- the house when be saw Mrs, Russell running, and that be was with Officer Doherty and an Associated Press reporter when Dr. Bowen dis- covered that Mrs, Borden did not die of heart disease. Officer George Allen was called and he testi- fied to having seen Mrs. Borden lying on the sofa stabbed, as he supposed. His story added ‘no new light to the crime. 2 ey Perry Gifford was being examined at 12 o'clock. Last night Officer Harrington went to Boston to identify a suspect answering a description of *wild-l man” seen last Thursday morn- ing by the doctor as he was driving by the Borden house. The t was not the man. The police have also run down a t who boarded the New Bedford train at Mount Pleasant and rode into the city, He proved an alibi easily. Hilliard this morning submitted to another interview. In answer to questions ag to whether or not the police had given up all hopes of locating a murderer outside of the Borden family he said the question he sensical, but he would answer it by saying that three clues were being run down and that none of them in any way would implicate a member of the household. He said he had not been stinted in money or men by the city government because of politi- cal complications. He was not bunting clues personally because the district attorney re- quired his presence at the inquest. But the de- tectives worked most of the night and reported to him and he was to say that close medical examinations and their results would be a feature of the case and that it might turn from the out that suspicion would be directed Borden family. It has been that the suspected poisonous milk by the Borden family was all right when it was taken from the PETE Et A DROUGHT ENDS IN CLOUDBURST. Wreck of @ Southern Pacific Train by a Washout.

Sax Francisco, Aug. 11.—Bill Lavinge of Saginaw, Mich., and Jim Barge, the gelebrated “Iron-bark Jimmy” of Australia, fought toe finish last night in the Pacific Athletic Club rooms for a purse of $1,280. Burge was favorite in the pools at 2 to 1, Lavigne being entirely unknown on the Pacific coast, while Burge, though especially clever, is notoriously a perfect glutton for punixhment and has won most of his battles simply by letting his antag- onists wear themselves out on him. Both had frained hard and were within the light-weight it. ‘The first round was «pent in sparring and sizing each other up, Lavigne enching the Australian's mouth twice with left forced the fighting in the second, but Lavigne showed he was much the cleverer man and landed his left on the face several times with a left swing on the jaw, but Burge recovered wickly and evened up matters with two or three good js on the jaw and nearly sending him to the floor. The fifth, sixth and seventh rounds were in favor of Burge. He forced the fighting throughout, playing on the Saginaw mans Lavigne wind. had a shade the best of the eighth round, but Burge took the lead again in the ninth and kept it till the fourteenth, when Lavigne woke upand surprised the spectators by landing some stinging lefts on the Austra- lian’s face. Nothing particular was done until the twenty-second round, when both fonght hard, Burgé scoring first blood a left hander on the nose. He appeared the stronger of the two until the twenty-ninth, when Lavigne caught him heavily on the jaw twice, sending him to his corner groggy. begun foreing the fighting in the thirty-seventh, hitting Burge almost at will, but with apparently little effect. In the fortieth he nearly knocked him out with a left upper cut m the chin, The Iron Man came up comparatively fresh for the next round and fought back with vigor. At the end of the fiftieth round both men were very tired, and there being apparently no chance for either man to win the fight was de- clared a draw. ao THE IRON HALL TROUBLE.
