BALTIC CANAL OPENED.
ALL THE GREAT POWERS TAKE PART
IN THE CEREMONY.
An ln»m»n»e Amount of Powder Burned
by ttio Assembled Squadron*—Uncle
Barn's Warihips a Striking Feature of ttie
Navel Display—t’be French President
and German jKiuperor Toasted.
Holtenau, June 20—With much
pomp nud ceremony and with, It would
almost seem,all the great powers of t he
world, through the gnus of their war
ships saluting, Emperor William, of
Germany, formally opened the Baltic
and North sea canal. He entered the
western opening of the canal at Bruns
bittal, not far from llambarg, shortly
after dsybreak, on board the imperial
yacht, Hohenzollern. and arrived at
the eastern opening of the canal here
shortly after noon. An Immenee
amount of powder was burned by the
assembled squadrons when his mejes
ty arrived safely and trlumphautly
from the lloltenau looks of the oaual.
The featuie of the day was the warm
reception given to the French gunboat
as she steamed through the canal In
the procession. At dinner on board
the Hoche, the French flagship, to the
officers of the German battleship,
Bayein, who entertained the French
officers yesterday, the German oom-
mander toasted the French president
at the same time as he toasted the
German emperor and referred to the
international flag of oomrady existing
among naval men all the world over.
The warships of the United States,
the;New York, Columbia, San Fran-
ohco and Marblehead, formed a strik
log feature of the naval display.
Negotiating for Silver.
Washington, June 20—Negotiations
have reoeutly been opened through the
ngents In China of American Interests
with a view to have China secure from
American capitalists the silver requis-
ite to secure the Chinese indemnity of
200,000,000 taels to Japan.The inlemni
ty is payable in Chinese taels, equal to
the Mexican dollar now worth 53 oents
iu American money. Underthoterms
of the treaty, which has not heretofore
been stated, payments are to be made
as follows: 50.000,000 taels next No-
vember, 50.000,000 one year later and
the remainder in six annual Install-
ments.
The names of the Americans inter-
eated In negotiations could Put be
learned at the Chinese or Japanese
legations. If American silver were
used to meet the indemnity, the
amount would be eqnivalentto the sil-
ver coinage for two years while the
Sherman law was in operation.
It was reported some time Bgo that
China had raised the indemnity in
Paris by seouring the guaranty of Itus
sia and France. This has not been
confirmed, however, and the loan has
not yet been made The present nego-
tiations with Russia and Franoe refer
mostly to the extra indemnity to be
given by renunciation of the Lla
Mnng Peninsula by Japan and do not
refer to the loan which Americans wish
to secure.
flatting Denver Rate*.
Chicago, Jane 20—The western lines
are getting uneasy over the excursion
rates to Denver for the National Edu-
cational Association next month.
There has always been a slashing of
rates daring the last few days preced-
ing the annual convention of this
organization and all sorts of rumors
are floating around as to what will be
done this year. An executive officer
of one of the eastern trunk lines wired
to Chicago today that It was reported
in Cincinnati and other places that ex
tensive outs were being made In the
east and ha wanted the truth of it.
Th» general fear seems to be that the
Union Psc'fla says it will cut,oris get-
ting ready to think of cutting. The
telegram had the effeot of creating a
large amount of suspicion on all sides,
although nobody seems to have any
direct knowledge. There Is no appar-
ent reason of any sort why the Union
Paolfio ehonld be snspeoted of making
any reductions In passenger rates ex
oept that it cat freight rates some day6
back. _________
Searching for Brady.
Redding, Cal., J une 20-Thlrty men
are searching for Train Robber Brady
near the scene of last night’s fight be-
tween the bandit and the two officers.
The brash is very thick and he may be
hiding. Deputy Martin says that,
when h8 started oat from Oottonwocc
he expected to looste Brady and to
oome to Redding for a posse, bat he
ran against him at Clear Creek. Brady
palled agan and Martin had to fight or
let him esoape. Brady was last teen
again a mile and a half from the soene
of the shooting. He then walked lame.
He had two shots In the right side of
the face and the right eye was either
closed or gone. He Bsked for a drink
of water and had his shotgun with
him. _
The Big FlgM,
Dallas, Tex., Jane 20—D. A. Stew
art has let a contraot for $18,000 worth
of dressed lumber to be used In the
oonstraotlon of a big amphitheatre for
the Oorbett-Fltzsimmons fight next
October. Dan Smith, ofNew York,
has been appointed press agent. Buoh
is the faith in the ability of Stewart
and his conferrees tobriDg off the
battle that a parse of f50,000 has been
subscribed ond pat in the bank to the
oredit of the oonstraotlon and promo
tion departments of the “enterprise,'
Bturdered by Kurd*.
Washington, June 20—The year ole
mystery of the disappearance of the
Bicyclist Lenz has been solved at last
by the following cablegram received at
the state department today from
United States Minister Terrill atPera,
the sammer residence of the diplomat-
ic corps near Constantinople:
“The British consol at Erzeroum
imforms me that Lsnz, the cyclist, was
mnrdered near Dahar by five Kurds
whose names he gives. Their arrest
and punishment wa$ demanded by me
and the oo operation of the British
consul requested.”
Lenz was making a tour of the world
on a bicycle. He came from Pittsburg
where his mother resides.
The Mor*;cielm.
Washington, Jane 20—The first re-
ports as to the urgency of the demand
made by the United States on Spain
for the payment of what is known as
the Mora olatm appeared to have been
overstated. The attitude of the United
States was stated without any expres-
sion of demand or threat in the com-
munication from the state department
to Minister Taylor, 6ent some weeks
ago, before Senor Maragna, the then
Spanish minister, had left Washington.
It is said to have made dear that the
department’s note was dne to instruc-
tions from congress and that it was
desirable to have snoh response as
would permit a communication to oon
grers when it reconvened in Deoember
The note was oonohed In the oourteous
terms usual in dealing between friend
ly powers and was such as to give fall
execution to the instructions of con-
gress and yet leave Spain to take snoh
action as seemed to be consistent.
Ths fact that Spain still has a min-
ister in Washington indicates that
there has been no threats of possible
consequences snoh as suggested, as
suoh expressions either in the original
note or in any snbsequent communica-
tion to the Spanish government would
have given a canse which governments
are in the habit of following by a with-
drawal of their minister. The Mora
claim is said to be very unpopular in
Spain and the Spanish minister of for
eign affairs who agreed on a settlement
was compelled to leave the cabinet.
The only action ever taken by the
courts was in ’88G when a oommlttee
reported thst if the claim was paid the
United States should settle at the same
time several large olaims which Spain
holds against the United States.
Bavli Still In Jail.
San Francisco, June 20—J.O. Davis,
of Richebter, New York, son in law of
H,H. Oraig, a wealthy lumberman of
that city, hadhts preliminary examt
nation before the poltoe court today on
the charge of defrauding several Sin
Franolsoo merchants by forged drafts
on a mythical New York bank. He
wa9held to the superior oonrt, bail
being fixed at 82000. Davis’ wife is
tis constant companion in the city
prison. The chief of polioe is still in-
vestigating the prisoner’s record and
expects to have all the incidents of his
orlminal career, prior to his marriage
in Rochester, in his possession here
before long. Davis takes his impris
onment in a matter of fact way and is
maklDg the best of the situation.
An Editor Fined $1000.
Phoenix, A. T., June 20—John O.
Dunbar, editor of the Gazette, who
was found guilty of oriminally libelling
the territorial officials, was today fined
$1,000 and remanded to the custody of
the sheriff until the fine was paid. He
gave notice of appeal. The libel is now
two years old and oou6isted of an edi-
torial paragraph directed at Governor
Hughes, Secretary Bruce, United
States Marshal Meade and Attorney
General Henri, in which they were
oalled assassins and treasury looters.
DELOS n, MANN.
GOOD TEMPLARS TO MEET.
Delegates Representing 700,000 Will Soon
Assemble at the Hub of the Universe.
A vast army of 700,000 persons
pledged to temperance will be represent-
ed by delegates
In Boston June
24, when the in-
ternational su-
preme lodge of
the Independent
Order of Good
Templars opens
its great conven-,
tion. The order
came into exist-
ence in Oneida
comity, N. Y.,
in 1851, under
the name of the
Knights of Jeri-
cho. It became
fully established under its present name
a year later in Syracuse, N. Y,, and has
since spread with marvelous rapidity to
the very ends of the earth. For the first
17 years it confined its operations to
America alone, hut in 1808 the order
was introduced into England, and Scot-
land, Ireland, Wales, Africa, Asia, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand, Tasmania, the
South American republics and various
islands of the sea aro now represented.
Gavett Chambers was the pioneer Good
Templar, and although lie was very
much fascinated with the idea ho never
dreamed that the order would speedily
become the most powerful temporayco
organization in the world.
The Juvenile Templars, a minor divi-
sion of the Good Templars, will also
meet in Boston at the same time. It is
the kindergarten of the great temperance
order, and its members not only pledge
themselves to abstain from all intoxi-
cating liquors as beverages, like the old-
er Good Templars, but they further de-
clare that they will abstain from swear-
ing, gambling and the use of tobacco.
The Good Templars were among the
first to admit that women were entitled
to equal rights with men in temperance
work, and thousands of bright members
of the gentler sex take a prominent part
in the sessions.
Among the features of the coming
convention in Boston will be a pleasure
trip in Boston harbor at the invitation
of Mayor Curtis, a grand banquet and a
reception to members . of the supreme
lodge by Governor Greenhalge.
Delos H. Mann, the world’s grand
templar, who stands at the head of the
great army of 700,000, was bom in Del-
aware county, N. Y., and was educated
at New York university and Albany
university. He became a successful phy-
sician and was an early enthusiast in
Good Templar work. He has held many
high offices in the order and was chosen
world’s grand templar in 1893.
