off tho Oregon coast Thursday, claims

was racing with another vessel
and was hooping closor In shore
in order to get tho advantage
of tho wind In tacking and
to mako a short cut to head tho other

to snap tho masts ofT llko tooth-picks,

John W. Keeley of "Motor" Fame Dies I
Philadelphia,
PmtA.nRi.rnU, Nov. 91 J John W.
Keoloy, tho Inventor of tho Ketley
motor, died yosterday at his home in
this city from pneumonia. Ho was
taken 111 on Saturday last and con
tinued to grow steadily worso until
his death.
Mr. Keeley was 61 years of ago and
leaves a widow. Ho was a native of
this city. Ills education was meagre,
nnd at nn early ago ho became a car
penter, following that tVado until 1872.
It was in that yoar that ho announced
that ho was tho discoverer of a now
force by which motlvo power would be
revolutionized. Following thin ho
constructed what has become known
as tho Keoloy motor. On November
10, 1871, ho gavo its first exhibition
beforo a number of capitalists and
scientists, who advanced (100,000 to
enable him to perfect his discovery
nnd apply tho principle. Since then
large sums of money h&vo been ex
pended without any practical public
results.
Between 1474 and 1891, Keoloy con
structed and discarded 120 different
models. In his first model ho em
ployed water as a goncrator, but later
tho experiments wero mado with what
ho called a "liberator," a machine
equipped with a largo number of tun

WAsntNOTON', Nov. 01. News of a
mixed character camo to tho navy do
department from Admiral Dewey,
touching tho situation lu tho Philip
pines. Tho admiral sent two of his war
ships, tho Charleston and tho Concord,
somo timo ago to tho southward from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
truth in reports that tlie lnsurgenlri
had extended their activities in that
direction. Yesterday ho cabled as fol
lows: "Charleston and Concord arrived
to-day from Hollo. Glass reports that
tho eutiro Island of Pun ay is In pos
session of tho Insurgonts, oxoopb Hollo,
which Is defcudod by UO0 Spanish
troops. All foreign cltlzons thcro beg
for American protection. Tho Island
of Negros has declared Independence
and desires American protectorate."
Glass is tho commander of tho
Charleston. So far nothing has been
dono by tho administration toward
curbing the insurgents in tholr opera
tions, sure verbal representations from
the Amorlcan commanders to Aguln
aldo, in which It has bcon pointed out
to him that It would bo good policy, In
view of tho probability of tho annexa
tion of tho islands by tho United
States, to pursue a courso that would
not bo obnoxious to tho United States.
But tho situation is now roalirod to bo
critical. So far as tho Spaniards aro
concerned, perhaps thoy can bo left to
take euro of themselves, but the for
eign residents at Hollo aro differently
regarded.
The difficulty in tho situation is that
with tho best Intentions to intervene
to protect tho Europeans and oilier
foreigners and to save the olty of Hollo,
tho second of importance In the Phil
ippluo croup, from looting tho United
States forces appear to bo stopped
under tho rules of war from moving
from tholr positions. Such Is tho con
struction placed upon tho ctauso la tho
protocol relating to a suspension of
hostilities.

Washwotok, Nor. 21. Tho stoto de

tho llrltish foreign offlco on tho com
ruorco of Hawaii in 1607. Of tho total
Imports of tho Islands tho United
States contributed 70,04 per cent;
Grout Britain, Canada and tho colonies
together 11185 por cent, tho balanco
bolng distributed equally botweon
Germany, China, Japan and other
countries. Of tho exports, 00.03 por
cent went to the United States, sugar
representing 90-per cent of tho total.
The report assigns as tho reason
why tho Unltod States has such a largo
proportion of tho trade tho adapta
bility of Amorlcan gcods for tho Ha

transportation, and consequently,
cheaper prices, tho excellent packing
of cotton, eta In cotton goods the
United States already has a large pro

Conflicting rtnraors About Shortage In the

KwrontA, Kan., Nor. 21. There la ft
rumor on tho streets that is (raining
considerable crcdonco among those
who know of tho Cross bank's failure
that several days beforo he killed him
pelf Cross wrote out a full confession
of his shortage and left it with a friend
to deliver to William Mnrtinrtale, vice
prcsldont of tho bank. It ia generally
believed that Cross got away with
815,000 of tho bank's money. This
money is said to havo been taken in
two lumps, ono of 8 1 50,000 nnd ono of
605,000, for which alterations are al
legod to havo been mado on tho books
of the bank. It Is said that tho letter
left by Cross confesses to theso things
and exonerates Mr. Martindala and
Mr. Davis, respectively vlco prcsldont
and cashier of tho bank.
The friends of Cross fl&tlv deny that
there is any such lotter and say that
It is merely an attempt to throw tha
blamo of tho falluro of tho bank on a
dead roan who Is not hero to speak for
himself.
Tho Emporia Republican publishes
an editorial on this lino headed, "Was
Cross Murdered?" In which It says:
"We bcllovo tho havoc, misery
and distress caused by tho arbitrary

tho loss to this community of auoh a

Ing tho abovo propositions is long'
and was not read in full Tho vital
portions, howovor, wore communicated
verbally to the Spanish commissioners
in practically thcso terms:
Tho fact was cited that tho proposal
presented by the Amorlcan coramts
sloncrs In behalf of tho government
for tho cossion of tho Philippine
Islands to tho United States having
been rojeotod by tho Spanish com
missioners and tho counter -pro
posal of tho latter for tho with

Spain having boon rojcctod by the.
American commissioners, tho latter
deeming It essential that tho prosont
negotiations already greatly pro
tracted, should bo brought to an early
and dcflnlto conclusion, now bogged ta
present a now proposition embodying
tho cossion which for tho sake of poacs
tholr government rould, under the
circumstances, bo willing to tender.
Tito government of tho United States
Is unablo to modify tho proposal here
tofore mado for tho cession of tho en
tiro arohipolago of tho Phlllpplnes.but
tho American commissioners aro au
thorized to offer to Spain, in caso tho
cession should bo agreed to, tho sum
of $20,000,000, to bo paid in aecordanco
with tho terms to bo fixed in tho treaty
of pcaco.
It boiug tho policy of tho United
States to maintain In tho Philippines
an open door to tho world's commerce,
the American commissioners aro pro
parod to insert in tho treaty now in
contoraplatlon, a stipulation to tho ef
fect that, for a term of years, Spanish
ships and merchandise shall bo 'ad
mitted into Phillpplno ports on tho
B.-imo terms as Amorlcan ships and
merchandise.
Tho Amorlcan commissioners aro al
so authorized and aro prepared to in
sert in tho treaty in connection with
tho cession of territory to Spain by
tho United States a provision for tho
mutual relinquishment of all claims for
indemnity, national and individual, of
every kind, of tho United States
against Spain and Spain against tho
Unltod Statos, that havo arlson slnco
tho boglnnlng of the lata Cuban insur

Next followed tho terms ncorost ap
proaching to a formal ultimatum to

in which theso demands have bcon

it will bo possiblo for tho joint com

Gago long ago decided to have bills of
tho somo denomination look alike.
That Is, ho wantod tho five dollar sil
ver certificate, tho five dollar United
Statos noto end tho five dollar Sher
man treasury noto to bear a closo r
semblance to ono another.
Tho first of tho designs under the
now system is for tho ono dollar silver
certificate. Tho notes will soon bo out.
Clearness, simplicity and protection
against counterfeiting nro resutts
chiefly aimed at. Tho new design Is
somewhat less artistic than somo of tho
present certificates, but probably will
bo moro popular among thoso who
handle money. Tho central devico on
tho iaco of tho noto is an Amorlcan
eagle with wings partly spread, clutch
ing tho flag, and with tho domo of the
capltolln tho background. Holow the
platform upon which tho eoglo stands
are small portraits of 'Lincoln nnd
Grant sot in medallions. Largo and
olear figures aro in each corner of tho
noto and on tho sides. Tho space be
tween the central dovice and tho latho
work at the ends is clear whlto paper,'
except for tho imprint of tho seal in(
ono spaco and tho denomination of the
noto in another. Tho seal upon tho
silver certificates will bo In bluo and
tho figure in tho open spaco will bo in
tho saino ink.
The mechanical work and tho tech
nical finish of tho engravings aro su
perior to anything over before Issued
from tho bureau of engraving nnd
printing. Tho roverso aldo of tho note
corresponds to the face in rospect to
tho largo display of whlto paper with
out printing or latho work. Large
plain figures appear in each corner
nnd scrolls mako up an attractlvo bor
der, but tho only remaining space
upon whloh printing appears Is In the
ccntor, whero tho usual lauguago re
garding tho qualities of tho note as a
ender for all publlo dud's is set forth.
Tho object of a largo display of
whlto papor on both sides of tho note
is to afford a safeguard against coun
terfeiting. It has been found by ex
perts that it is easier to detect tho
uso of paper without tho usual silk
threads whore it is not covered with
printing. Tho device for tho silver
certificates is substantially tho saino
as that which will bo used for othei
forms of paper money. i
The dlfferenco botweon a silver cer

for tho law under whloh it is issued,

formerly had to deal with fltteon dif
