George Osgood Lord, representing an English -steamship company, one of the bidders, has engaged lawyers to contest the validity of the contract, and they have notified Secretary Alger that proceedings tvill be begun at once to dissolve the contract. The contentions are: 1. That tbe contract is illegal. 2. That it is against public, policy. 3. It gives an enemy ships and naonar to arm them. 4. It compels Uncle Sam to furnish eonvoys to protect an enemy's shies against himself. - Steamship companies here will com- bine to fight the ease. Spaniards Driven out.

Montreal, July 25. -The rumor has been very active and persistent for the past three days that the trip of Sir William Van Horne, president of the C.P.R., to the western railway centres, had something to do with the rate war, but that gentleman says it is not so. The story went on to say that the highest official of the big Canadian road has gone so far as to settle the matter with Mr. J. J. Hill, the leading man of the great western railway interests. 16 was a state- ment of that nature which was banded to Sir William On his arrival here in bis private oar at Windsor street station. The President bad just arrived from the west, the Saskatehewan being attached to the Chicago train. "I don't know anything about the rate war, and my trip to the west was on entirely different business," was the reply which Sir William gave. That was all he had to say on the matter, and ought to be explicit enough to settle the reports which have been active for some days. Earthquake in Chili.

LOVE IN MIDAIR, -Kruger Proposed After Me Sweetheart's Leap Isor We. Swingi»g in Midair, In full view of curious thousands, Charles Kruger wooed and won bis wife. Ile was a performer on the topaz° and she was bis professional partner. He tells the story as follows; • "I bad boon doing a trapeze act for sone) weeks witivthe elms when the pro- prietor said to me; 'Why don't you double up? There's more MOnoy in it, and I'VO got just tbe kind of a partner for you. She was born in a circus, liko yourself, and bas been tieing a turn with her brother. Ho was killed at Scranton last woolt, and you two will double, up all right' "I thought the owner's advice was good. The next day he introduced me to zny partner. Her name was then Clara Den- nison. Sho was beautiful. She had splen- did black hair, flashing eyes and a superb figures We talked about our partnership and. soon came to terms. She was full of Ideas and daring. She proposed the leap for life act, and 1 agreed to work with her," Itrugerand his partner shortly appeared in public. Their act became the most sue- cessful feature of the show. He was strong and handsome and she was lithe and beau- tiful. "I was beside myself with love," con- tinued Kruger, "We rehearsed every day and did our act every afternoon and night, but those times were the only moments I saw her. "Her mother was always with her while WO practised, and she waited in the chess - Ing room for her during the performance. I had no opportunity to see her alone save when we were in midair. Never did bash- ful lover suffer so much as L "I made up my mind that I must speak without delay. The opportunity came to me by intuition. "One night she leaped, and I caught her. The clasp of her dear hands seemed to encouraeo noe to speak. There swing- ing in micrair I told her that I loved her. She, hanging below me, looked up to me MIDAIR LOVEMAKING. and, blushing, whispered that she would be mine. .A tightened grasp of the hands was the best answer I could make. "From that time she always whispered something to me as I raised her up to catch her own trapeze on its return. I carried on iny courtship in midair, obliv- ious of all whosaw us. "Then I mustered up courage to speak to her mother. It was hard work. At first she opposed my marrying her daugh- ter, but we both pressed her so hard that she consented. No marriage could have been happier than mine. I have had a bad accident, but even in misfortune my wife makes me happy." Kruger is now a watchman in the St. Louis Female hospital. He broke his leg recently, and, although he has recovered from the accident, it will probably prevent him from ever being a circus performer again. His beautiful wife is still appearing in public to help support her husband and their child.

DRIVEN LIKE BEASTS. leprising Against a Derbaroui Custom In Northwestern Ilungary. Throughout the northwest at Hungary the noble landowners aro in the habit of denutuding 50 days' work in the yem. from each laborer or peasant on the estate with- out any remuneration whatsoever. To such an extent is this tyranny carried that many of the lamlowners are accustomed. to use their peasants as beasts of burden, harnessing four nien to a plow instead of a pair of horses or a yoke of oxen. When the landlord has any work to be done, he sends a dreramer through the Vilinge, and every male inhabitant is compelled by law to obey the summons The lord then se- lects as many inen as he requires and sends the rest home. The spread of education among the masses bas ended byawakening them to a sense of the indignity and injustice of this PEASANTS BITCHED TO I PLOW. San m of servitude, and accordingly in the district of Nyiregihanza the peasants bave organized a movement to abolish these ancient usages and rights of the landowners, and have, moreover, refused obedience to the latter. The landowners In consequence appealed to the govern- ment, which responded to the application by sending troops to the disaffected dis- tricts. The movement has been suppressed with no little bloodshed, the leaders have been either lodged in prison or expelled from the kingdom, while those who re- main are forced to comply with every de- mand made upon their labor by the land- owners. Large Versus Small Warships. One argument that, has been made in favor of building a comparatively large number of small warships rather than a smaller number of large vessels, with largo crews, is that the smaller ones afford the greater number of independent com- mands and opportunities of training for emanoand. Between 1872 and 1888, 76 sea- going fighting ships were launched for the British navy, varying in displacement be- tween 430 and 2,000 tons, and the number of men and officers in these ships ranged from 59 in the snaadlest to 220 in the las- gest These ships wore to be found all over the world. Admirals, captains and leading officers of today were all trained in them, and splendidly trained. These ships, however, have been displaced dur- ing recent years by larger vessels, with larger crews, makieg, for each command, larger claims on naval estimates and on the reserve of men. Some of the foremost authorities now lean to the opinion that too much trust is placed in big ships and gues and too little in the skill, enterprise and valor which may be had in the three - ton and naanag,ement of a ship of moder- ate size. To xnultiply such smaller ships is to multiply the cbanoes of getting good onen in command. Piling up armor and guns condemns many such men to sub- ordination to their inferiors.-Cassier's Magazin& COLLISION ON THE C.P.R. $00 f:xoress foto on Excursion, SPecial-No XoosS et Life and Not noels.
