L, who started from London February 1, accom- panied by Lord Hindlip, on an explora- tion trip to the Upper Nile, has returned here. He will proceed to New York in October. Whitehouse did an interesting Jjourney, covering ground hitherto un- visited by Europeans. He found the peo- ple generally friendly, but they had some difficulty with the provincial authorities of low rank near Lake Margerita. ‘Whitehouse and Lord Hindlip were de- tained as prisoners for three days owing | to the local officials refusing to recog- nize Emperor Menelik's letter. They were kept under strict surveillance and were told that they would be shot if they at- tempted to leave. The expedition re- visited the so-called ‘‘devil-infested one” of Wallamo. While at Adis, Abeda, Em- peror Menelik treated Whitehouse and Lord Hindlip in the most cordial manner and permitted.them to shoot over his pri- vate preserve, to which no white man had previously been admitted. The Emperor also entertained the explorers at a ban- | quet. Canadian-British Steamship Line. LONDON, Sept. 18.—According to the Westminster Gazette, the departure from London of the Canadian Finance Minis- | ter is due to the forwardness of the ne- | | gotiations looking to the establishment of a Canadian-British steamship line which he and his colleagues can subsidize to the extent of $750,000 yearly without fur- ther appeal to the Dominion Parliament.

Thurs- ton of Nebraska appeared as counsel for one of the companies contending for a franchise to build an irrigation ditch from the Kohala Mountains on the isl- and of Hawaii, by means of which a large area of valuable land can be irri- gated. During the hearing there were many insinuations of prejudice on the part of Governor Dole and others for or against the companies interested in the scheme, :l;nd explanations will probably be called or.

CANAL WATERS INDICTED MEN APANESE HOLD REVEAL MURDER Weighted Body of Dead Woman Rises to Surface. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The nude body of a young woman was found to-day ip the Morris canal, between Newark and Jersey City, and was to-night identified by Joseph Pulitzer of 160 West Forty- sixth street, Manhattan, as that of his wife Annie, who had been missing since Tuesday. The discovery of the body was made by the driver of an express wagon passing along the plank road on the bank of the canal on the meadows. An attempt had been made to sink it with a twenty- pound weight attached to a long hitching strap, the other end of which was tled around the walst. A long stab wound was found in the abdomen, and a later exam- ination by County Physician Converse re- vealed the fact that the woman's skull was fractured. Dr. Converse thought that probably two days had elapsed since the woman was killed, but that the body had been in the water only a few hours. The body was removed to Jersey City and Chief of Police Murphy put all his available detectives on the case. Pulitzer and his wife lived at the ad- dress given in a boarding-house kept by a Mrs. Fleming. Mrs. Fleming said to- night that the couple had been with her for about a month and that the husband Was a journeyman tailor. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Fleming said, Pulitzer com- plained of feeling ill, and his wife went out about midnight, saying that she would get him some fruit. Mrs. Fleming said that she did not see Pulitzer again until this morning, when he told her that his wife was missing and that he had been telephoning to her relatives in the hope of finding some trace of her. This afternoon he went to police headquarters and gave a description of the missing ‘woman, but did not ask to have a general alarm sent out. He returned home for dinner, when he was shown an evening Faper containing an account of the find- ng of the body, and on reading the de- scription, which' tallied with that of his wife, he hurried to Jersey City, where he at once identified the body. After the identification Pulitzer was detained by Chief Murphy, who telephoned to police headquarters in this elty that he regard- ed the case as ‘‘very suspicious” and re- quested the co-operation of the detective olILL MISSING Police Unable to Locate Six of the Alleged Boodlers.

This ac- tion was taken as the result of testimony before the Grand Jury by the accused, who denied any knowledge of the reported payment of $75,000 to members of the House combine by the Suburban Street Railway Company to secure a certain franchise.

MARGUS [SLAND Refuse to Allow Captain Rosehill and Party to Land. HONOLULU, Sept. 12—The schooner Julia E. Whalen has returned from Mar- cus Island, arriving here on the 10th, without having accomplished the purpose for which she set out. When she arrived at Marcus there was a force of Japanese marines on shore, and they were prepared to resist the landing of the Americans. Under the circumstances Captain Rosehill of the Whalen decided not to attempt to land, his force being much less than the force of Japanese. The Marcus Island Guano Company will now make a claim against the Japanese Government for indemnity, basing its claim on the alleged title of Rosehill to the island. Captain Rosehfll arrived at the island on the day after the Japanese warship Kasagi left. The Kasagi landed sixteen armed marines and left them on the isi- and to protect the interests of the Japa- nese Government, being compelled fo re- turn home for coal. Her commander left with Lieutenant Akinote, in command of the marines, a letter from K. Ishii, secre- tary to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressed to Captain Rosehill and stating the position of the Japanese Gow- ernment in the matter. The letter stated that the warship bad been compelled to leave on account of a lack of coal, ex- plained that Japan claimed the island by virtue of occupancy previous to that of Rosehill and expressed a hope that he would avoid any conflict and leave the controversy to be settled by the American and Japanese Governments. Captain Rosehill presented to Lieuten- ant Akinote his license under the seal of the Department of State giving him the right to occupy the island and remove guano deposits, also a document stating that his purpose in visiting the island was to examine the deposits and secure a sclentific appraisement of their value. The American captain was furnished with a copy of the instructions left with the Japanese officer, which were to the effect that he was to receive the American cour- teously, assist him if he needed assist- ance, but not permit landing unless it was necessary for the health of the crew, in which case five Americans in charge of some responsible man were to be allowed on the island. Captain Rosehill made no attempt to 19THMUS TRAFFIE Panama Line Is Kept Open by Commander McLean. Every Precaution Is Taken to Prevent a Surprise by Revolutionists. P, NP kot ‘\ Special Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Despite his vigorous handling of the situation on the isthmus, Commander McLean of the Cincinnati, now at Colon, still encounters trouble in keeping transit on the Panama Rallroad clear. There is no intention, so far as can be learned here, to direct his actions from Washington. It is thought he is handling the situation judiciously. Secretary of the Navy Moody received the following dispatch from Commander McLean: Colon (blank date)—Traln for Panama went through Cincinnati’s guard of rifiemen and rapid-fire gun. Freight train coming toward Colon stopped by soldiers at sides of track continuously pointing loaded muskets at en- gineer and train hands, demanding opening of locked box cars for inspection; conductor no key, could not. Went to find some responsible offiéer; also sent man to flag following pas- senger train; menace removed: freight came in with passenger train. Will vigorously protect life, liberty Amertcan and other peaceable em- ployes and mamtain unobstructed transit. Have instructed Ranger assist this duty. A cablegram was received at the Co= lombian Legation to-day from Governor Salazar of the, Department of Panama, regarding the railroad situation on the isthmus. It is said that there was no in- terruption te. traffic over the railroad and that arrangements have been made with the railroad company to inspect the trains as they approach Colon and Pan- ama, this step being taken to avoid any surreptitious approach of the revolution- ists to either of those cities, as happened once before in the case of Colon. The Governor expressed the opinion that the American guards placed on the trains b: direction of the commanding naval offices | Were not necessary. At the legaiion the officlals say the sit- uvation is more promising than for some time, as with the gradual addition of re- inforcements to the Colombian troops the danger of an attack by the revolutionists becomes less probable than before. COLON,; Colombia, Sept. 13.—United States blue jackets, with a small quick- firing gun from the cruiser Cincinnati, continue to accompany each passenger and freight train across the isthmus, not- withstanding the protests against such measures which the Colombian Govern- ment has lodged with Oscar Malmrose, the United States Consul here.

Sedgwick and several others to land, Sedgwick being an expert taken for the purpose of securing samples of the guano deposits. Before they had completed their investigations, however, the Japanese commander requested them to leave, and Rosehill at once left. ‘The guano company.will make a claim on the Japanese Government for posses- sion of the island, claiming that Captain Rosehill's occupancy was prior to that of éhe .Via!pu;:ese‘hnnld will also ask for in- lemnity for the losses of the ti Schooner Whalen to Marcus. 7 Of th® Sale of men’s suits at $7.75 Youths'double breasted suits Here is a good reason for buying direct from us, You get the latest style garments: at a reasonable price, much under the fancy price that usual dealers charge for the latest productions. mixtures. boys’ Out-of -town orders filled for men’s or clothing, hats and furnishings, Sack suits for business wear To make business good and lively during Sep- tember we have decided to start a sale of men’s sack suits this morning at $7.75.
