The schooner Lewis nas arrived from tue f jr -orth with 2.500 sealskins and the survivor of the crew of the C. C. White, who were lo-t in the fog on Aag. 7 when sixty m.les from Cooper I-land. she picked up three boats and eleven of the crew of the White, who lost their vessel in a foi: and had been Ave days In boats. Raymon. one survivor, told a thrilling story of how they were fired upon by unseen enemies on Cooper island and three shot. He said they spent the first nirrhs in an uninhabited part of Cooper Island. In the moraine when rowing around the island to reach a settlement they sud denly heard reports and bullets whizzed near them. He continued -In our boat wera myself. Krr and Jackson. When the volley was fired the fog was so dense we could hardly see the hore. Our assailants were hidden behind the cliff and we could not tell how many they numbered. Jackson received a wound in the leg. TUen Kerr was shot in the breast and a second after ward I was also -hot in the breast. Kerr died In two hours, but Jackson and I re covered." Raymon though: Aleuts did the firing, but otners say they thinlt the Rus sian larrison stationed there to keep off seal poochers committed the outrage.

All the bulls of Basham were let loose In the com. pic on tie hoard of trade at the opening, and the bellowed In a w.ay to lift the roof. May corn was the leading option, which closed at 32 3-:c last night. It opened this morning from anywhere from 34c to 3oc in aifferent parts of the pit. and one trade was reported at 36c. Inside of two minutes it was dowi. to 33 l-4c, when it became le-s wild, running up to 33 l-2c. The chief cause of th furor was 'the reports of killing frost.- in the northwest. This was intensified by the po-ting of -u notice from ;mith Co.. who have been heavy dealers In corn, that they were unable to meet their obligations. It was sated in the notice they were even on the market, being neither lone nor short, and rqaested tho-e havinz deals with them to call at the offices. The firm has been dealing heavilv in wheat and corn, espec ially the latter. Ce said they recently sold calls on corn to th- amount of 51. 300,000, on which they were heavy I-ers.

THE FIELD OF HONOR. 3Iee!ln:r or a French and American Lady Only to lis Placed Under Arrest London, sept. 13. The New York irbrfd corre-poudent -muds the following cable gram : Two ladies In duel. Swords as weapons. Jealou-y the cause." The-e sensational headlines appeared in a leading daily over a Pans dispatch thL morninz. The -wry. as told, is unique. A French lady accused an American lady of attempting to alienate the affections of her husband. Both ladies met at the Cafe Americaine and made a cene. As soon as the French woman had made her charges the American became indignant and told her she mu-t be dreaming, as she had never spoken to the Frenchman. Madame waxed wroth and slapped her transatlantic otisin with iier gloved hand, and told her -he could prove her a. ertion. -he then -eferred to her meeting with her husband on the Boulevard ies Italiens. The whole -tory. the American lady said. wa- an outrigeous fal-ehood. anil she save the Fren.-h woman twenty-four hours hi which to retract her won!-. At the end of this period, nonotice having been taken of the insult, the American lady challenged her nntagoni-t to a duel. The latter a pied and said she would fight with word.-. Everything being arranged they, with their friends, repaired to Mendon Woods on Thursday morning. All wa- ready, when three geiidarme- -topped up and arrested the d-jct-or and principals and took them to the -ouprefecture. some lady friend of the French madame. it is allecod. gave the information t4 the police in advance, and they were in hiding ready to prevent blood shed. The lieutenant of police was sent for, and after listening to the report of hi- men. -aid it was perhap- as rational for women to fight dull .is for men. but it happened to be an offense aga:n-t French laws, and it wa- the duty of the police to arre-t all per--ons engaged in it. A certain discretion was perniiued. however, whe:e the offense, a- in this cae. had not been actually com mitted. If the ladies would give him their parole d'honneur njt to attempt any farther breach of the peace and deliver to him their weapons, which would be confiscated, he would release them. Both the ladies then made a plea for the doctor, who had been prevailed upon t accompany them, and he, 1. o. was re 'eased. The names of the per-ons were refused by the police, who merely declared that the ladies -tood high In social circles, and as they were not likely to meet again there was no necessity for publishing their iden tity. At the club- the affair was discu ed and the regret e.pr"--ed that the tight had been stopped, a- a little blood letting was the wor-t mat i-ould happen and would have es tablished a prec-ident.

A Mayor ami Alderman Flsht. Lt 'Cisville. sept. 13. A -en-ational en counter between Charles D. Jatob. mayor of LouisvJle. and Alderman Joseph Leahy occurred in tne private ouic? ot tne Louis ville City National bank. His honor pulled off hi- .tat asid ve-t. lowered his suspenders and -ailed inro the alderman, who also -quared for action. Friends interfered be fore any serious damage was done. Mayor Jaob has ju-t retu-ned from a tour around the world, shortly before he left the Louis ville cyclone relief committee turned over tv him 520.000 a- an unu-ed portion of the eit subscription to the f una for the bene fit of the -ufferers. It has teen alleged that the mayor used a portion cf this money on hi- trip around the world, paying is back when he returned. Mr. Leahy, as chairman of th finance committee, called at the bank to see if the entire 520 000 was on depo-it. and if it had been there all the time. The two gentlemen met m the bank office, and the encounter resulted. Mayor Jacob is a rather delicate gentleman, but he has a reputation for pugnacity. When minister to Bogota under Clereland.-he knocked out Con-ul King and his recall grew out of the trouble. Trouble in Coffee Circle. Rio J.c.no. Sept. 13. Coffee merchants met in this city to-day to protest against the grant made by the government to tho organizer- of the pr pjsed coffee auctions of the privileges of -Lipping coffee sold at j tno-e auction- without immediate payment of export duties. This grant, which allows the first payment on account of the duty to be made at the end of twe year and the other payments gradu ally thereafter, is called by an evening paper a usurpation and scandal. One of the grounds on which the minister of finance attempt to justify his measure is the asser tion that within a few months congress will approve the constitution published by the government abolishing export duties. This apor asks him whether he thinks the fuere congress so -ervile that he can anticipate its action. It is stated that the person ob taining the grant is a relative of Deodoras.

Minneapolis Mills Converting the Season's Grain Into Flour An Interview With Sec retary Rusk To-Day' Market Reports. Minneapolis. Minn., sept. 13. The IVbrt.'i wrtrrii Miller -ays: The mills ground more lightly last week. this being traceable to the duller aspect of the flour market. The output for the week was 160.U23 barrels averaging 26..-21 bar rels daily a zam-t 172.3ti0 barrels the week before, anil 133.3?0 for the corresponding time in 1-pu. and 144. Ouo in 1SSS. There were eighteen mills in operation at noon yesterday, and they were grinding at tVe rate of about 27.5u0 barrels per twenty-four hours. The water power has unexpectedly improved, so that all except two mills have stopped their engines and are running wholly by water. The milis are now about ail grinding new wheat to greater or less extent, the percentage used running all the way from 10 to U0. Country mills appear to be Using it even more treely. The declining tendency of wheat has made the flour market very dull, and quota tions have been reduced 3 to 13 cents per barrel. The sales of the last seven days have been exceptionally light, and the ma jority of the arms here have about caught up on orders, this being especially true as to patent-. With wheat somewhat stronger to-day. there -eemed to be a trifle more in quiry for flour. The export trade is -till very light. Some of the mills are able to make more or less sales of fancy bakers in wood fur seaboard points at very good fig ure0. One small sale cf this kind was made to-day at 54.00 per barrel in Detroit, equal to 53.17 in New York. The export shipments for the week were 31.790 barrels, against Is.100 barrels the preceding week. Much 3f this was sold jme time ago. London luotations for 2s0 pounds c.

CROP CONDITIONS. , Government Report for September Corn t ami Wheat Both allow Le-s Favorable Results. , Washington. Sept. 11. The national crop report for September shows that the injury to the com crop reported List month was inten-iiietl by the continuance of the drouth in August until rains came to Its re lief, but were too late for full recovery. The average is 70.1. against 73.3 last mouth. It is the lowest average -ince I -''I. The de cline occurred in New York. Ohio and Il linois and in the northwestern states, and in some others of less importance. The crop is late in the eastern staces. requiring matur ing weather throughout September. Tho Ohio valley and Missouri valley report protracted drouth and poor condition. While the rains of the last two weeks of August have been beneficial nearly everywhere they have not always re stored the losses of the first half of the month. The best condition is in Kansas, though some of the western counties make , good return's. The Dakotas and Nebraska are a little higher. Returns of the condition of winter wheat at the time of harvesting are less favorable than thos. of the 1st -;f July. So far as thrashing has progressed results are gen cnilly disappointing. Tho July avcrige was 71.2. and the present average is 73.3. Tho general average of -priug wheat is also reduced from 53.2 to 70.-. The average for wheat of both kinds is 7-.3. In 1 the September average for wheat was 77. and was 73 in issi. The yieliLof spring wheat is unusually variable in the Dakot-is. ringing from high yields to 3 bushels and Ie-s per acre. The progress of thrashing will de- 1 velop the extent of these differences. i Rye yields less than was expected. The condition as reported is reduced to S3. 1. The September condition of oats is the lowe-t ever reported, having fallen from . 70.1 In August to 04.4. The rate of yield 1 vvill be the smallest in twenty years. !

Sept. 11. Attorney-Gen- eral Langley has arrived at his home. II describes his important trip to the United States. In an interview he says: 1 "I had no more thought of visiting Wash ington than of going to Australia, but whit I was In New York Mr. Winian suggested the importance of making -ome -peeial ef fort to indtico the American congress to m- 1 elude Canada in the scheme of reciprocity. Mr. Blaine has already declared in favor of 1 reciprocity' with tho states of south America, and his idea has been embodied I In proposed amendments to the McKinley bill In the -enate. "Recognizing the Importance of the mat ter, I consented to accompany Mr. Wiman to Washington, although I confess I had no very great confidence that anything could bo accomplished in this late stage of the ses-Iou. I found leading men in the 1 senate and house, of both political partie . most friendly and predi-po-ed rather than otherwise to extend the prin ciple of reciprocity to Canada. There are some senators from the New England states who seem to be opposed to It in deference to the predjudice of some portion of their constituents. "Among prominent men with whom I had the plea-ure of discusssing this question was senator Sherman, of Ohio. To my P light at the next sitting of the sonato. heard senator Sherman propose the resoU tion which has now become so well know throughout Canada, and wiii.-h. if adopted will certainly revolutionize the pol'cy . this country. Prominent mt'ji on both sidei of tho house assured me that in was . tremely likely that Senator Sherman"- Tes tation would be adopted by the -enate. though meeting with considerable opposi tion. If It gets through the senate it w;J" be adopted by the hou-e. and la that ca it becomes Incorporated as part of the 31a KIley bill and wil always be available a -standing offer to Canada.'

Sept. 13. The Paeifle mail steamship CoJo. JrUVh reached here to-diiv. oifen'ht some of the p.--siigers who were on board the Te--iiusuip Aeaputet; at the time of the killing of (Jen. Barrundia. One eye witness of the tragedy told the siory to the A5-ociated Press. It appears that Gen. lhimndi:i Came on board at AcapulcC, N. M.. understood to be en his way to San Sal vador. He was attended ty two soldiers as a body gnrd. when tue -hip arrived ai Chanperieo. the Guatemalan authorities there demanded that Barrnndi.t bo sur rendered. Capt. Pitt- p-'re'''Porily re fused to do so. They withheld the- clear ance" pacer for twenty-four hour-, but finally allows! him to proceed. When the vessel .trflveei t San Jo-e twe boatload- of soldiers were sent off from the shore to sec that no one without proper credentials should leavcthe ves-el. Within piMot-hotoC her were two United States gunboats. Ciipr. Pitts had telegraphed their commanding otlicer from Chanpericc rcpiesUng assistance, but the dlspaich had not been iic"i-iir?l. He now made a per sonal appeal for he.'?. The re-ponso wai that they could do nothing without an ordei from the port captain. The next day the ship was ng-iin Invaded by the commandan tee with a special force of men and another L-out loiid of soldier. Tho Guatemalan commandaJttew produced an "order for ar rest" signed by American Minister Mizner. ami made a formal demand for the delivery of Barrundia. Then he directed all the cabin passengers to be ordered b-3'ow. When this order was ex executed tho entire force proceeded to Bar rundia's room, Capt. Pitts with them. When the room was reached Capt. Pitts, after deprecating the necessity of surren dering his pas-enger. read the order of hii arre-t. Rurruudin had quietly met them at the door, but at once divining all was over reached iuto the room for revolv ers, anil, making the remark, "Very good." fired. The ball Just mi. ed Capt. Pitts, who, together with the Guatemalan Com mander, run to his room and locked the door and hid under the bed. leaving the man-hunting to special officer. Barrundia was a short-sighted man. and being very nervous was unable to do any damage, though he chx-ed the men out of the saloon, firing wildly. At last they dropped him. riddled with -bor, on the hurricane deck. The bnve commandantee hereupon came from his hiding place, walked up to the dead man anil find a bullet into his skull. The dead body was rolled up In a piece of canva- and conveyed ou shore in one of the boat-. Tht other boat, convoying the gallant perpetra tors of the deed, with rhoir revolversopenly displayed, made a detour around by th! United States warship-. As they left the Acapuleo -ome smilingly waved their hands and one placed his thumb to his nose and extended his fingers in a well known man ner, still the incident was not over, -aid the gentleman who told the foregoing. The Guatemalans had to wipe their feet a little more on the suffering -hip. and she was noi allowed to proceed until the baggage be longing to Barrundia w as -enrobed, presum ably for evidence in criminating others. This wa- permitted by the American gun boats, not 100 yards away. Indeed, at th time of the tragedy an officer from one ol them was on board the Acapuulco. The Americans ou board were full of indignation and -lame at the whole affair. Capt. Pitts. it w:is generally he-Id. wa- partly accu-able for his action, seeing he had applied in vain to the war -hip- fur as-istanee and was con fronted with an order from the American minister. The passengers condemn the ac tion of the men-of-war. for, the'y maintain, in any event they might have taken charge of Barrundia until -ome definite expri.-ston of the will of the United states had come from Washington. They also condemn the actionof Minister Mizner. who. they thought had no right to -ign a man's death warrant (for they submit that at the time he dill lt he knew that it amounted to than, no matter what the character of the victim was.
