SENATOR‘ HAYWARD STRICKEN.

Suffers a stroke of Paralysis and II
In a Critical Condition.

OMAHA, Aug. 16.—Senator M. L.
Hayward was stricken with apoplexy
yesterday at Brownville, Neb., where he
had gone to deliver an address at the
Modern Woodmen picnic. He was ap-
parently in good health and spirits up to
the moment of attack, and was sitting
on the platform chatting pleasantly with
friends while awaiting his turn to speak.
Just as the presiding officer was about

 

to introduce the senator he was seen,

to sway in his chair and then fall help-
less to the platform. Two doctors who
Were in- the audience speedily made
their way to his side, and the members
of the W'oodmen formed in line to keep
the crowd back. The doctors worked
with him from a little after 11 o’clock,
when he was stricken, until almost 2
o’clock, before the senator recovered
consciousness. He was then removed to
a cottage nearby, where he now is.

The wife and son of the senator were
summoned from Nabraska City and ar-
rived on a special train during the after-
noon, with the family physician. It had
been intended to remove Senator Hay-

ward to his home during the afternoon,‘.

1

 

and up to about 4 o’clock it was thought '

this could safely be done. About. this;
time unfavorable symptoms developed,
and it was decided to abandon the at-
tempt. After 4 o’clock the senator was
some weaker, and while the doctors have
not abandoned hope they admit he is in
a very precarious condition.

GILMORE AND HIS MEN.

.._._'_

Secreted. Letters-[Recently Found
Tell of Hardships and Suffering.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—The
Bulletin publishes a startling story from
the Philippines regarding Lieutenant
Gilmore and the party from the York-
town who were captured by the Filipinos
and who have been reported from official
sources as being well cared for and well
treated. It appears that when the Amer-
icans reached San Isidro, where the
Yorktown members and some soldiers
and civilians had been imprisoned, they
found the names of the prisoners scratch-
ed on the walls of the jail.

Some letters from the men were found
secreted under stones, and a Spaniard,
who had been intrusted with several,
presented them to General Lawton. The
letters. told of the hardships the men
were compelled to suffer and begged that
aid be sent them. The men complained
that they had been starved, beaten and
bound..and moreover were in rags. One
of the letters, signed by Albert Lowen-
shon, said that the Spaniards had been
treated very badly, worse than the Amer-
icans, and that hundreds were dying of
dysentery and other diseases and that
the government took no notice of the
sickness prevailing.

RUSSIA IN CHINA.

Talien Wan eDeclared to Be a Free
Port to All Nations.

six PETERSBURG, Aug. 16.-—-Em-
peror Nicholas has issued the following
imperial order to the Russian minister
of finance, M. de VVitte: '1

“Owing to the great possessio s of
Russia in Europe and Asia it has been
possible, with the help of God, to effect
a rapprochement between the peoples of
the west and east. Through the friendly
attitude of China we have succeeded in
attaining our historic aim, having ob-
tained the use of two Chinese harborS,
Talien Wan and Port Arthur, with a
large territory, whereby an outlet for the
Siberian railway to the Yellow sea is
secured. '

“Thanks to the wisdom of the Chinese
government, we shall, through railways

in course of construction, be united to‘

China, a result which gives all nations
the immeasurable gain of easy communi-
cation andlightens the operations of the
world’s trade.

“In our unwearying care for the gen‘
eral weal we have deemed it necessary,
after completing the railway, to declare
Talien Wan a free port during the whole
period Of the treaty for the merchant
ships of all nations and to build a new
city in the neighborhood of the said
port.”

cent seizure of six Canadian fishing boats f
near Point Roberts by the United States '

A German View of the Report.

BERLIN, Aug. 16.-—The National
Zeitung, commenting upon the report of
the Samoan commission, doubts that a
satisfactory settlement of the Samoan
question will be arrived at by the three
powers while the tripartite condomin-
ium lasts. It considers that the best so-
lution would lie in a transfer of the
group to Germany. If this be impossible,
then Germany should elect the governor,
thereby securing tw0 votes, while the

English and American interests should-

not be changed, one vote from them be«
ing necessary to form a majority.

Bloekided by Ice.

ST. JOHN’S, N. F., Aug. Him-The
mail steamer Labrador, "from Labrador,
which has just arrived here, reports that
the entire coast is blockaded with. ice
floes from the northern extremity south
to the straits of Belle Isle. She reached
this port five days behind her usual time.

history of the northern waters. It will
not only seriously injure the cod fishing
industry, but greatly increases the diffi-
culties for ocean steamers making the
passage by way of the straits.
