CRIES FOR ASSISTANCE FROM A DEEP CREVASSE Womsan in Party Lost Near the Mat- terhorn Shouts to the Res- cuers. LONDON, July 2I.—A dispatch to the Dally Mall from Zermatt, Switzerland, de- scribing the accident to the English party, who, with their guide, plunged from a precipice last Wednesday while ascending the Matterhorn, says: “The relief party from the Hotel Mont Cerving, from whose veranda it could be | geen that something had gone Wrong with | t1he party of tourists, heard a woman's! voice from the bottom of an jce gully cry- ing out, ‘We are not all killed” It was Miss Trow, daughter of a London clergy- | man, who, with Miss Bell, daughter of | Edmund Bell, the publisher, and Dr.! Black of Brightan, and also Lennard Car- | yoli, the guide, had fallen from the! heights above. She was not much hurt. R et ‘was Carroll, alive but uncon- | gcious. Five hundred feet further down were the dead bodies of Dr. Black and Miss Bell. Miss Trow and Carroll first fell over an ice ledge fifty feet high. They then slid down a slope less steep, after which, with terrific and ever-increasing rapidity, they shot down the ice ravine one thou- sand feet. The cord broke connecting the other two, who fell from another preci- pice.” - Charge of Fraud Is Made. CHICAGO, July 21.—Walter B.

WASHINGTON, July 27.—Detalled fig- ures of the foreign commerce of the United States in the year ending June 30, 1901, shows a total import of $822,673,012, total exports $1,487,756,57, exports of do- mestic products $1,460, 809. The imports by great classes in the fiscal year 1901, compared with the preceding year, are as follows; Articles of food and animals in 1900 $218,- 510,098, 1901 $222,227,808; articles in crude condition for use in domestic indusu?r in 1900 $302,426,748, in 1901 $269,763,404; articles wholly or partially manufactured for use in manufactures and mechanic arts in 1900 $58,433,549, in 1901 $79,080,718; articles manu- factured ready for consumption in 1900 $125,900,507, in 1901 $130,662,903; articles of Yoluntary use, luxuries, etc., in 1900 $111,- 670,094, in 1991 $120,938,095. The reduction in value of imports oc- curs chiefly in raw silk, hides and skins, wool and indiarubber, and most of these the reduced value is partially due to re- duction _of price rather than Ai;x‘nmlty. Raw silk shows a reduction of $44,549,692 in 1900 to $29,353,777 in 1%01, a decrease in value of 34.1 per cent, while the number of pounds shows a decrease from 11,259.- 10 pounds in 1900 to 9.139,617 pounds in 1901, a 'decrease of only 188 per cent. India- rubber, while the imports of 1801 are only $28,455,383, against $31,376,867 in 1900, the quentity imported in 1801 1is 55.275,529 pounds, against 49,377,138 pounds in 1900.

Registration slips were passed about and showed that approximately 3000 people were present. ‘The address of the forenoon was made by the Rev. W. P. McKee of Mount Carroll, Ill, on “What Christ Adds to Life.”” The convention will close to-morrow night.

Ploris S HE STOE OANY THOUSHNIS Accusers of Wholesale Druggist Have Him Arrested. NEW YORK, July 27.—Daniel F. Mey- ers, a member of the wholesale drug firm of Benton, Meyers & Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived here to-day in the custody of a detective who had arrested him on a warrant charging him with larceny in the first degree. It is alleged that he stole a check for §27,562 from the Manhattan In- surance Company, of which he was for- merly president and which Is now in the hands of a receiver. On January 10 the Manhattan Fire In- surance Company made a statement to the State Inspector of Insurance to the effect that the company had an_unim- paired capital of §500,000 and a surplus above its liabilities of $38,600. An exam- ination of the books disclosed the record of a check for $27,562. which apparently had been given for the private account of Meyers in payment of a persoral note given at the time of an issudnce of 200 shares of steck. It was on this transaction that the prosecution was begun. In.court to-day his counsel said that the check had been given as alleged, but that it was in pay- ment of the note which was autherized by the directors. It was given to secure stock subscriptions. He said Meyers had lost between $50,000 and $75,000 of his own money in trying to keep the company afloat. Meyers was released on $5000 bail. AILMENT OF TOLSTOI PUZZLES MEDICAL MEN Count Appears to Be Slowly Improv- ing, but His Weakness Still Causes Alarm. ST.

The advice Is in substance as follows: ‘Che Russian Government has signified its intention of not further pressing the question at present of the eventual in- ciease of the import customs duties be- yond 5 per cent (the present figure). It is agieed. that in case the revenues of CHina are not sufficient for the payment of in- terest and principal, the powers are to ex- amine the revenues.and determine. what changes are necessary in order to supply the deficiency. The imperial maritime cus- toms are to be included In this arrange- ment. The British Minister is satisfied with this arrangement and the whole question of financial measures is therefore settl 50,000,000 tacls constituting the in- demnity are to be converted into gold at the equivalent of the tael value on the first of last April. In case the import du- ties are subsequently increased the free list will have to be abolished, except for cereals, but it is understood 'that compen- satfon will in that case be asked for, probably the financial participation of China in improving the water approaches of Shanghai and Tientsin. All the princi- pal points of the negotiations are now set- tled, and it is expected that the results will be summarized in the final protocol within two weeks and that all the powers will become signatories. In connection with the indemnity pay- ments ‘a_question has arisen whether the United States Government will- take its share of the bonds to be issued by China in American gold or in pounds sterling. The disposition of this Government is to take the monev in the form that will be the least burdensome to_the ‘Chinese Gov-~ errment and in the interest of. uniformity it is probable that the payments will be made In pounds sterling. % WARTIME ENDING FOR KITCHENER South ~ African Com- mander Will Soon Go to India. LONDON, July 27.sRumors of impor- tant changes in the South African com- mand are increasing. Weeks ago the Out- look printed a curious paragraph which escaped observation. It said: “Has the term of Lord Kitchener’s occu- pation of the post of commander in chief in Southern Africa nearly run its course?”’ | And it stated that in London circles, where such a fact would naturally be ! Rnown, it was expected that he would re- turn to this country early in September, and that his successor would probably be Lieutenant General Neville G. Lyttleton. That officer is now in London, and is not only in close communication with the War Office, but is reported to be quietly select- | ing his staff and making preparations for | his return to the front. His share in the | war in South Atrica has thus far been one | cf its most commendable features. Confirming this, the Standard’s corre- spondent at Cape Town forwarded by mail a report current there at the beginning of the mocnth to the effect that Lord Kitch- ener will relinquish the chief command in South Africa at the end of August and grcceed to England, where he will remain ve months before taking over the su- preme command in India. Sir Bindon Blood, according to this correspondent, is expected to sueceed him as commander in chief in South Africa. Telegraphing from Pretoria under date of July 2, Lord Kitchener reports to the War Office as follows: “A detachment of Steinacker's Horse, occupying Bremersdorp, was forced to evacuate ' July a superior force of Boers, probably the commandos from Amsterdam and Pletritrie. The de- tachment fought its way to Lembobo, a | distance of sixteen miles. losing about ten killed or wounded and a few missing.” e Explosion Injures Eight Workmen.

BUILDERS WILL ATTAGK TREATY Manufacturers on the Lakes Want War- ship Contracts. — CHICAGO, July 27.—The Chronicle says: Warships, not only for the United States, but for foreign countries, may be built on the great lakes in the near future. To ac- complish this the shipbuilders located on the lakes, supported by manufacturers and concerns that cater to the shipbuild- | ing business, are combining in a move- ment to demand the abrogation of the treaty with Great Britain which excludes warships from the lakes. Congressman Boutelle, who will look after the campaign at the coming session of Congress, said: “The existence of tne treaty iy mani- festly unfair to the people of the lake cit- les. In 1898 Congress appropriated $126,000 to begin the construction of a vessel on which the naval militia of the lakes might be trained, but it was found that the treaty stood in the way. The shipyards situated on the shores of the great lakes, which employ thousands of men, are not allowed to bld on the work for foreign navies because of this treaty. It Is time :?mething was done to remedy the situa- jon.”™ DIED. Continued From Page Thirty.
