Premier Unconscious to the Last Member of Family Gath ered at Hatfield House. LONDON. Lord Salisbury died poacoully at 0:05 Saturday night. During tho past fdrty-olght hours tho enA was seen to he Inevitable, tho great frame of England's ox-prcmlcr being sustained only by tho constant tine of oxygen, which at last became Ineffectual. The village of Hatfield, which still rolalns many features of tho feudal porlod, was ftUod'wlth nnxlous real dents awaiting mo news of his lord uhlp's domlso. Tho great Hatfield house, hidden behind tho screen of plno trees, was lighted at every win dow, and gavo no Blgn of tho ap proaching fatality. Groups of watch ors clustered under tho Elzabothau nrch and of tho lodge gates anxious ly Questioning each latest passer from Hatfield house. Finally tho news camo, whon n hat loss servant ruBhed down tho grav eled roadway saying as ho passed, "Ho has gone," and then disappeared in tho church. Soon thereafter Oio boll from the tower abovo tolled slow ly and tho villagers at tho street cor ners uncovered In acknowledgement of tho -mRslng of their nolghbor and friend, England's great states man'.

Tho first race for Atnorlca's cup was declared off at tho turn when Re llanco was sixteen minutes in tho load, having gained that much In a fifteen mllo drift. Of courso tho raco was not absolutely cpncluslvo owing to tho light and shifting character or tho air, but in n fifteen mllo boat to windward, a portion of which was nallod in a driving rain, Rellanco Bhowod its heels to Shamrock III In commanding Btylo, and that, too, undor woathor conditions supposod to bo to tho par ticular liking of tho challenger.

Yet today, with a breezo varying from ono to twelve knots and against a long ground swell, tho defender outfootcd and out pointed Shamrock III.

STRENGTHENS CHAMBERLAIN. Death of Salisbury Contributes to Tar iff Policy. PARIS Tho death of Lord Salis bury made consldorablo impression hero. Although tho lato statesman had retired from politics, tho fooling prevails here that his dlsappoarnnce will contribute to strengthen tho po rtion ot Colonial Secrotary Chamber lain, which circumstance is not thought likely to promalo friend- hlp between tho two countries. Tho ability, prudenco and moderation of tho former premier aro frankly iccognlzed, though somo of his sar castic utterances aro recalled. It is acknowledged that while ho firmly, up held Great Britain's interests, at the samo time ho always strove to pre vent a rupture vjlth Franco, and it is admitted that tho Fashoda Incident would have been far more clangorous had anc other statesman been In pow er.

The nmbaB sadors ot the powors have again drawn the attention of the porte to tho fears of massacres at Salonlca, and havo demanded the adoption of Immediate and effective measures for tho pro tection of the foreign consulates and tho subjects of the various powers. Letters received hero from Uskub say there Is evidence there of a great feeling of unrest. The mosques fvb guarded by troops, and It is feared they may be attacked.

The harvest had commenced and tho free distribution of coreals had ceased in many places early In July.

WASHINGTON A cablo dated August 12 has beon received at the Stato department from Minister Beu pre, at Bogota, saying tho Panama canal treaty has beon rcjocted by the Colombian senate. President Roosevelt was Immediate ly advised of tho news, Mr. Boaupro'6 telegram being forwardod to Oystei Bay. Llttlo additional Information coot cernlng tho action of tho Colombian senate could bo obtained at tho State department and Mr. Adee, acting sec cretary, would not indicate what course tho government was likely to pursue. It will be impossible for President Marroquin to again submit tho treaty to tho Colombian congress in its pres ent form, as tho senate, having re jected It, cannot ngaln come beforo that body except by Its own vote. President Morroquln, howover, can re submit tho treaty with slight amend ments to tho senate and thus reopen tho canal debate. It is believed at tho Colombian legation that President Marroquin will adopt some such courso. Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires, has received an official ca ble from the Colombian secretary of stato dated August 13, containing tho briof announcement of tho senate's rejection of the treaty on the day pre vious. The reason given for the rejection ot the treaty was tho alleged encroach ment on Colombian's sovereignty which it was contended would result from tho treaty. This information was contained in a dispatch received by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, from Foreign Minister Rlcos at Bo gota. Tho view taken by the senate was at variance to that held by tho gov ernment of Colombia, which felt sat isfied whon It submitted tho, treaty that thero would bo no loss of Colom bia's sovereignty If the treaty was rat ified. Incidental to the general question of sovereignty was that of tho leaso of the strip of land through which the canal was to bo constructed and tho debate in the senato indicated that this was regarded as paramount to a sale of tho land and therefore objec tionable. When tho treaty was sub mitted to tho senate by the commit too to which it had been referred, seven of tho senators favored It with certain amendments. COLON, Colombia The rejection of the canal treaty by the Colombian senate has produced a tremendous sensation on tho Isthmus. It was gen erally believed the treaty would pass with somo modifications'. Thero Is reason to supposo tho majority of tho members of the senato regard tho Spooner amendment to build a canal by tho Nlcaraguan route if tho Pan ama routo was rejected as a mere threat on tho part of the United States. They are convinced that the Nlcaraguan project is imposssiblo and that tho Unltcl States will again deal with Colombia. Russian Demands Presented. CONSTANTINOPLE The Russian Llomonds on Turkoy, growing out of th" recent murder of the Russian consul at Monastir, M. Rostkovskl, were for mally presented at tho Ylldlz palace yesterday. Notwithstanding tho warn ing which Russia addressed to tho Bui. garlan government it is generally be lieved here that tho Russian naval demonstration In Turkish waters will dangerously encourago tho Macedoni ans, who, it is asserted, will Interpret Russia's action as being the first step towards intervention in their behalf. More Rioting In Crotfa. VIENNA A fresh outbreak of riot tng has occurred in Crotla. At Za creslo, upon the occasion of the cele bration of the birthday ot Emperor Francis Joseph today, 1,000 peasants gathered in the town and destroyed a Hungarian banner. The rioters were resisted by the gendarmerie, who shot three men and wounded many others. 'At Komesina the peasants pillaged stores and killed two persons. Longest Fence In the World. Helena, Mont. Tho fenco about the Fort Belknap reservation, which Is foity miles long and sixty miles wide, ht.B been .finished. It probably is the longest fence in the world and has taken years in building. The plan Is to protect the flocks and herds of tho Grovcntres and Assinlboines from in trusion, as well as to keep them froir straying. Millers Favor Reciprocity. FARQO, N. D. At a meeting of the millers of North ' Dakota and north western Minnesota held here, resolu tions were adopted favoring reclproc 'ty between tho United States and all tho countries importing American flours. The resolutions also endorsed the action taken by the Millers' National federation convention ueld in Doirolt favoring reciprocity between the United States and Canada. t-M ! I i 1 i 8 1 IW tit 8 I Ht" I : THE Live STOCK MARKET. j ', ; Latest Quotations Trom Soutti Omaha and Kansas City. iitiiitumn umiiumi' SOUTH OMAHA. CATTLE There was rather a light rur of cattle nnd tho general market could be quoted fairly active and steady to strong on all desirable grades of killers. There were only a few cars of corn-fed cattle on sale, and the steers commanded steady to strong prices. As high as J5.30 was paid. The better grades were all in good demand, and could be quoted strong, and even the less desirable kinds sold at fully steady prices. The cow market did not show much change. Buyers took hold fairly well, and everything was dis posed of at Just about steady prices. The prices paid looked about steady with the close of last week, the decline of the early part of (the week having been regained. But for the late arrivals an early clear ance would have ben made. Bulls, veal calves and stags have been selling In Just about the samo notches all the week. Thero were practically no stock cattle on sale at the opening of the market, but several cars came in late. Western grass beef steers wero very scarce, but In view of the limited supply of 'corn feds tho market could safely bo quoted strong on anything at all desirable. The market for tho week Is also a little stronger. Range cows, sold about steady, and stock cattle were certainly no moro than steady. HOGS Thero was a small run of hogs and as the local as well as the shipping demand was in good shape, the market opened fully a nickel higher. The ad vance applies to both light an heavy weights. The heavy hogs sold largely from 15.10 to J5.20, medium weights from J5.20 to 13.30 and light from $5.35 to 15.50. The top price was paid for a very fancy load, and while they sold 10c higher than yesterday's top they were better than anything ottered on yesterday's market. Trading was not very brisk today, as packers wre slow to pay the advance, but still the bulk was disposed of in farlly good season.

"We can build just as fine a boat as either America or England,' he said, "and you may be sure that at tho next International yacht races you will see tho flag of Japan flying on tho winner."

LONDON.--All the press comment here on tho Shamrock III.'s perform anco ovldonces the growing convic tion that sho Is Incapable of recap turing the America's cup under any weather conditions.

Tho death of tho boy was aiost tragic. The little fellow had gone out on a vacant lot to gathei flowers, and came in contact with a live wire. GENIU8 8H0WN IN BEGGING. Why Work When You Can 8ecura Good Money Without ItT It Is hard to boat tho beggar game In Italy. A fleet-footed urchin grab bed a girl and bounded llko a chamois ovor an Intervening short cut, head ing us off at tho next turn. He and hlB maiden fell into a fox-trot by the Bldo of tho carriage. "Look, noble gentleman 1" ho began, look, beautiful ladyl Seo tho llt&o ragazza -tho poor glrf-havo pity n horl See, noblo signor you can not refuse to glvo her something your heart Is too good you are too gen erous, too noble, too handsome, to re fuse. Havo pity on her dreadful state, for look she has on gray eye and ono black ono!" Wo stopped ho carriage. It was true. Tho maiden had indeed partt colored eyes, In addition to which she rejoiced in a most appalling squint. I gave her ono copper. Hereupon hor escort set up a howl at being ignored. "But why should you havo any thing?" I asked. "You ought to give irte two cop pers," he replied with a twinkle, "for I havo two black oyes, and she has only ono." I was vanquished. I gave him his two coppers. I don't believe in beg gars, but I think ho earned them. Argonaut NATURE'S USE FOR FLOWERS. All of Them Serve Properly Appointed Purpose. Dr. Andrew Wilson writes: "If wo assumed that flowers ' were merely evolved to gratify human senses we should be entertaining a woefully lim ited view pf nature. Tho botantlst will tell you that everything about a flower is meant to favor one end. That end is the production of seeds and tho propogation of tho species. The colors of flowers nay, even tho little splashes of a hue Or tint seen on a petal are intended to attract insects that they may carry off tho fertilizing dust, or pollen, to other flowers of the same, or near, species and thus insure a sturdier race as the result of cross-fertilization. It is to this end also that your flowers aro many of them sweet scented. Tho perfume Is another kind of invitation to the insect world. Tho honey they secrete forms a third attraction tho most practical of all, perhaps. Then the arrangement of the flowers on tho stalk, tho times of opening and shut ting of the flowers and the position of tho stamens and pistils, aro all so many features whereby nature I& giv ing each plant a holp on the way." The Forco of Example. A. gentleman who has just returned from Guatemala vouches for this par rot story. A good woman of tho city had a bird which she prized highly, but It had ono bad habit. Whenever sho came.-in in the morning tho bird would ejaculate: "Oh, I wish to tho Lord the. old woman was dead!" Sho confided to her minister and he suggested sending hi3 parrot over, adding that by association the lady's bird would learn nice phrases. A day or two later, when this woman entered the room, her parrot ejaculated, as usual: "Oh, I wish to tho Lord tho old woman was dead!" Whereupon tho minister's bird cocked Its head to ono side and fer vently added: "Tho Lord hear our prayer! , Beauteous Summer. Earth has doffed the bridal raiment which her virgin form arrayed. Fairer far the graceful mother than tho shy and trembling maid; As the Iris to the bluebell, as the heather to the ling, As the sunshine to the twilight, so Is summer to the spring. Golden on her golden bosom Is tho wav ing of the corn. Bright and flaming red the popples that hor comely waist adorn, And sho weaves the thousand emerald tints that play among her trees Jn the brilliance of the banner sho is fluttering to tho breeze. There's a honeysuckle garland bound about her shapely head, Sending down Its scented tendrils with her neck and breast to wed, And the roses and carnations In her tan gled tresses meet As they wind about her body on the way to kiss her feet. Now she knows no thought of sorrow, and her onty uttered sigh Is a breath of fragrant perfumo In a rustllnir flld of rvn. And sho laughs through every moment of her sun-bespangled day. Where her streamlets chase the pebbles and her silver fountains play. Told Out of School. Tho infant terrible is always with ns, and in making trouble runs a close race with the wagging tongue of scandal. Accompanied by her young hopeful a woman was calling on a friend who happened to live in one of a row of houses of exactly the samo appearance. "The great objection to living in a row of houses," remarked the hostess,' "is tho liability ot .making a mistake. Do you ever havo any difficulty, my dear?" "Oh, no," replied tho little fiend, breaking In- unexpectedly. "Ma says sho can always tell your house by the dirty windows." Found Curious Ring. Frarfc Munroe, of Portor, Mass., has a curious ring which ho found near Whitman lake. It Is of wood and 1b in the form of a signet ring with a sliver shield set in where the seal should be. Diamond shaped pieces of silver are also set In either side of the ring. Quite the Reverse. Singleton "I say, old man, doesn't your spending so much time at tho club get you In trouble at home?" Wederly "On the contrary, dear oy, it keeps me out of It." - 'T 1
