UNER OLYMPIC SCARED
LONDON, Oct. 29.—'The steamship Olympic with sev
eral hundreds of passengers aboard on the way from New
York to Glasgow was warned yesterday by wireless that
German mines had been placed on the route she was fol
lowing near Tory Island on the north coast of Ireland and
she immediately changed her course and put into Lough
Swilly and sent her passengers by special train to Lon
donderry. If it is true that the Germans are really succeed
ing in placing many mines on the routes of the liners from
New Yory some horrible disasters are expected unless
the greatest care is exercised. And that mines are be
ing laid in such places is made evident by the blowing up
of the Manchester Commerce.
SWEDISH STEAMER SUNK
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 29.—'The Swedish steamer
Ofnen has been hit by a torpedo and been sunk off Cux
haven. Germany. Five members of the crew were drown
ed. Scandinavian shipping is now exposed to almost as
much danger as the ships of the belligerent nations and
news is constantly coming ot the loss of vessels or theii |
arrest by warships of the fighting powers. The fact that
the Ofnen was sunk by a torpedo has caused some alarm
as it seems to show that nothing will be stopped at to prev
ent Scandinavian merchants vessels from carrying sup
plies to the nations at war.
DIAMOND BUSINESS HURT
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 27.—A slight improvement in
the diamond business is recorded here. Since the out
break of the war very little has been done by the diamond
cutters and dealers.' The improvement, though very
slight, has been noticed with general satisfaction. Three
firms have re-opened their cutting establishment, giving
work to about 500 cutters. The number of unemployed
has decreassed from 8872 to 8703.
HEDIN WITH GERMANS
COLOGNE, Oct. 20.—Seven Hedin, the Swedish ex
plorer, who shortly before the outbreak of the war, en
deavored to win the Swedish people over to an alliance
with Germany, is paying a visit to the western theater
of war by invitation of the Kaiser. It is understood that
he will also visit the eastern military terrain.
FAMOl'S WAR MINISTER'S
SON IS A PRISONER
BERLIN. Oct. 22.—It was recently
reported by cubic that a son of M.
Delcasse, the French Minister, had
been wounded and had fallen into the
hands of the Germans
One morning a German patrol of
three men entered a village near the
river Meuse to discover whether it
was occupied by the French. They
had hardly entered a school house
when the leader, looking out of a
window, saw a French patrol of ten
men coming down the village street.
Taking their positions at the windows
the three Germans opened such a hot
fire upon the French party that eight
of them were killed before they could
recover from the confusion caused
by this sudden attack. The Germans
were suprised to find that the sub
lieutenant, the commander of the
French patrol, who fell wounded into
their hands, was the son of Delcasse.
The young man, who is only about
twenty years old, was brought to a
hospital at Merseburg in central
Germany. His wounds are not dan
gerous* although he was shot through
both thighs.

At Fort Yukon some forty voters
are said to have been deprived of
their votes because no notice of elec

time ago and his successor had not
been appointed. Eureka, also in the
Fourth division, loses its votes for a
similar reason.
PARIS, Oct. 27.—Le Figaro pub
lishes the following account of the
capture of the battle-flag of the 36th
regiment of Prussian infantry by
three soldiers of the 298th regiment
of French infantry for which its own
flag was decorated with the insignia
of the Legion of Honor:
“On September 7,” the article
reads,'’ the twenty-second and twenty
third companies of the 298th regiment
were deployed in skirmishing against
a group of the enemy from 700 to 800
meters distance. When the distance
diminished the Germans raised their
hands and shouted: ‘France—England,
friends!’
“Our men advancing without dis
trust, were fired upon point blank.
Without allowing themselves to wav
er, they replied with a bayonet charge.
A half-raised flag was observed under
which two Germans were lying. The
soldier Guillemard transfixed the
bearer of the flag with his bayonet
and kicked the hand which held the
pole, while Corporal Michalet threw
himself upon the other man, permit
ting Guillemard and Sergeant Antoine
to seize the flag.”
