Chicago, Aug. 2S. Colonel Roosevelt la to be put to the "cowboys' " test when he "strikes" South Dakota on his . northwestern campaign trip next month. Senator Pettigrew is to chal lenge him to a. lasso-throwing match. The senator wil lnot array himself in "chaps" or put on six-inch spurs or straddle a. bucking broncho. He will do his lasso-throwing by proxy. He has a. Democratic cowboy who is able to cut out a maverick or a. wild-eyed steer from a bunch of cattle and throw him with the rope with celerity and preci sion. This Democmratic cowboy, on behalf of Senator Pettigrew, will chal lenge the redoubtable "Teddy" to a trial of skill in lasso-throwing, in sub duing the perpendicular eccentricities of a bucking broncho and in other feats in which rough riders are supposed to excel. So much has been written and told of Colonel Roosevelt's versatility in all that pertains to ranch life and cowboys that the cattlemen of Senator Petti grew's state are anxious to see "Teddy" "make good." They say they do not know much about the Erie canal or the Tammany ice trust of the "strenuous life" of a New York politician with wild, woolly-west trimmings, but they claim to be somewhat fajniliar with cattle and prairie life. They would like to see Teddy" on a broncho. Senator Pettigrew said yesterday: "When Roosevelt comes to South Da kota he will be challenged to a lasso throwing match by a Democratic cow boy. While we all know he is one of the bravest soldiers and spilled more ink and less blood than anybody else, we want ocular demonstration of his prowess." CITY GETS $5,000.

AVE ft McCORD MERCANTILE CO., Distributer. three-quarters of a new A PLATFORM ERROR. Alleged Mistake ia Figures Regarding Exports and Imports. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28. A stats tical mistake of ?1,500,000,000 in the Re publican national platform is the dis covery made by F. J. Van Vorhls. The platform contains the statement that during the three years of the McKinley administration the excess of exports over imports was $1,483,000,000, and this is shown to be several times the total excess of exports over imports for the 107 vears ending 1897, which excess, ac cording to the platform, was $383,000,000. Dr. Van Vorhis, who is a close student of politics and fond of delving into sta tistics, made a careful inquiry as to the truth of this statement, which tends to show the marvelous prosperity of the United States, and he finds from the Summary of Finance and Commerce, the bulletin issued monthly by the bureau of statistics, that the excess of exports over imports for the 107 years ending in 1897 was $1,897,000,000, or five times the amount given in the platform.

I am neither an anarchist, socialist nor dynamiter, but I left Ireland to be free and am an Irish-American citizen. If a foreign power should dare to come into this country my countrymen and I would die at the guns. I shall cast my vote for Wililam J. Bryan. ANDREW J. TRAHEY. Ten Square Miles Burned Over.

Former Senator George Edmunds of Vermont, who Is spending a few days at the Fabyan house, this afternoon declared that, while still opposed to expansion as a national policy, he favors the re-election of Presi dent McKinley. He upheld the president's course in sending an army to China without the authorization of congress on the ground that the emergency demanded prompt ac tion, and pronopnced the plank in the Democratic platform dealing with impe rialism inadequate and not likely to be fulfilled. Trusts, he asserts, do not form a party issue, as business men will stand together and get as much consideration from one party as from another. "It is pretty well settled," he said, "that we will have either McKinley or Bryan, and I would be unwilling to trust the country to the men that Bryan baa arund him." . NEGRO DISFRANCHISING.

A dispatch to the World from London says: A statement which has reached here from Rome that the Italian government has demanded from the British govern men the expulsion of Anarchist Mala testa from England, receives no cre dence. Malatesta, when asked about the statement, replied: "I do not believe that any such request has been made. The Swiss government was approached by the Italian police when I resided in Geneva, but it wisely refused to do anything in the matter." "But," said the correspondent, "sup pose you were warned to leave England within twenty-four hours, where would you go?" Malatesta replied: "I cannot suppose anything of the kind. I have committed no crime in England. I get my living here as an electrical engineer. If such an order was given me by the police I should go to America." Signor Minetti, chancellor of the Ital ian embassy in London, questioned on the subject, said: "Wehope for the best, but so far we have received no in structions on this head from the gov ernment In Rome. We have so far refrained from asking for Malatesta's expulsion for fear of a refusal by the British government. I doubt whether the constitution will permit the expul sion of an anarchist unless he is proved guilty of some infraction of English law." Fac-simile of the medals for the Twen tieth Kansas heroes.

New York, Aug. 28. The mystery which surrounds the killing of Kathryn Scharn some time on August 18 has not yet been cleared up by the police detectives, who appear to be completely baffled, it was admitted last night that they were still looking up the associates of the dead woman and her brother, with the hope that some of them may be able to throw some light on the case. Little weight Is attached by the detec tives to the theory that the woman was murdered, by a sneakthief whom she sur prised while he was ransacking her rooms, ine detectives say tney are con vinced that the crime was the work of a man who was well acquainted with the woman, and it is along these lines that they are working. Some of 'them are in clined to believe that the murder was committed bv a friend of her brother. The police say that the dead girl knew most or cis triends, and tnat some or tnem are known to the police as cheap thieves and young men with criminal instincts. They are frequenters of the neighborhood in which the Scharns lived. Acting District Attorney McTntyre said last night that no attempt would be made to have Fred Scharn indicted for homi cide on the evidence now in possession of the police. "Toung Scharn will not be indicted on the evidence we now have," said Mr- Mc Intyre. "There Is nothing to connect him with the murder, and I do not believe he had anything to do with it. lf an in dictment was secured on the . evidence which has been collected up to this time we would not only be thrown out of court but laughed at." Coroner Fltzpatrick will on Friday begin his inquiry into the death of the woman. St. Gaudens Sent North. Boston, Aug. 28.

Shipment From America Being Rush ed Over. New Tork, Aug. 28. More shipments of American coal to England will be made this week. One of the consign ments will be the order of the British admiralty and will be sent by the Ches apeake & Ohio Coal agency. Already this company has forwarded a supply of coal to the admiralay. Never before have the naval authorities of England bought coal from this country and this fact in itself is evidence of the extreme scarcUy which prevails on the other side. It is the opinion of coal dealers in this city that many million tons of American coal will be sent across the Atlantic before the existing crisis is ended. While the dealers who were seen yes terday would not commit themselves to any decided expression of opinion as to whether the present demand for the American product would be permanent, they did not hesitate to say that once having obtained a foothold in Europe the American producers would make the most of their opportunity. It was point ed out that now Europe has begun buy ing from this country there were many reasons why she would continue doing so. In England there are only about three varieties of coal, while here a( least a hundred varieties are mined Each of these varieties requires more of less different handling at the hands of the stokers and one of the causes whf this country's product has not been par ticularly favored in Great Britain and in other countries is because the proper manner of using it has not been under stood. This drawback 13 likely to vanish now. Again, in the past America has shipped only its poorest coals to Europe, to the detriment hitherto of a trade that now seems likely to reach an enormous volume. So short sighted a policy, how ever, will no longer be indulged in by the American miners. At the Berwind-White company, the extensive coal dealers of No. 1 Broad way, it was. said last night that the troubles in Africa and in China were having much to do with conditions in the world's coal trade. One of the members of the firm said: "England, you know, has been supplying all Eng land with coal. Now comes the South African war which calls for much ton nage and the Chinese crisis, which ia making all the civilized nations anx ious to be ready for any emergency. To add to all this is the strike that England has had to endure. Is it much of a wonder, then, that the re sources of Great Britain in the way of supplying Europe with coal should be taxed as never before? So many ships are being used for carrying troops and for other war purposes that it is hard for England to get the bottom in which to send coal to those who would like to be her customers. That is one of the reasons why England is coming to us. It is all a matter of freights. No, I do not think tht the United States under normal conditions could supply Europe with coal as cheaply as Eng land can, on account of this matter of freight." ' An official of the British consulate said that any deal between the English government and American dealers for fuel for war vessels would not be a con sulate affair. No news about England's coal situation had been received by the consul general here and all that could be said about it must be unomciai de ductions. P. D. ARMOUR RETURNS.

Armour ar rived in Chicago yesterday morning in perfect health, after a -visit of three months at Bad Neuheim, near Hamburg, Germany. He will be in his office this morning, but will pay a visit to Ocono mowoc in a few days. "Yes, I know what you want," he said. "You want what the New York report ers wanted. You want me to tell the state of feeling in Germany and France, the prospect of war in Europe, the merits of the presidential campaign, tne state of trade, and how I liked the Paris ex position. "Well, I cannot talk on any of those subjects. I did not visit the exposition, and as to European sentiement and the war In China I know absoultely noth ing. "You see, I went abroad for my health, and I paid strict attention to that and to nothing else. I staid at Neuheim the whole three months, and though I did not learn anything about public affairs, I got a perfectly retsored state of health. I got some benefit from the baths there a year ago, but this time I got ten times more. I feel that I am perfectly restor ed and will be at my desk bright and early tomorrow, as usual." MAY IRYIN'S PROPERTY. New York Woman Asks That a Cer tain Mortgage Be Foreclosed. New York, Aug. 28. Paulina Eschever ria, who holds a mortgage of $25,000, with accrued Interest of $1,900 on the property at 144 West Twenty-eighth street, owned by May Irwin, the actress, moved before justice ireeoman or tne supreme court today for the appointmgent of a receiver to take charge of the property during the proceedings in forclosure. The plaintiff said that the building, which is a five storv tenement, was not worth more than $27,000, and as it is necessary to serve summons by publication on one of the de fendants, a receiver should collect the rents till the case is concluded. John J. Bulkley, attorney for May Ir win, said that his clinet had offered the In terest so as to have the suit dismissed, but that the offer was declined because it was not accompanied by the principal. He said that theiplaintiff was amply protected, as the property is worth $40,000. The court re served decision. PORTO RICO SOVEREIGNTY. America's Claim Over Island Recog nized by France.
