and struck him severe blow upon the head with
a cane. The Hon. Paul Strobach, OF Alabama see
ing that his friend was getting the worst OF the
encounter, began punching Cameron with his
umbrella. The latter, however, was fully equal 10
the occasion, and came out first best In the fight
The occasion for the assault, Mr.. Cameron says,
was the evidence which he was compelled TO give
before the committee on expenditures In the
Department OF Justice concerning the conduct OF
certain Alabama marshals.

The Canal.

A meeting has been called at Harper S
theatre tonight by DR.. J. W. Stewart,
president of the business mems associa-
ton, to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
some one to Washington to aid in the
support of the Hennepin canal measure.
ExMayor Carse and Dr.. Stewart were
busy soliciting funds today and met with
good success.
Hon. c. H. Deere, of Moline, was
interviewed by a Moline Dispatch reporter
yesterday, in regard to the question OF
sending representative to Washington,
at present and said:
Il think that all has been done by out
side parties that can be done. 4 lobby
can do no good and possibly might do
harm. 1t now remains for the members
of Congress to act in the matter"
How could any harm arise from
sending lobDy?'
"Well, the canal itself, is paramount in
Importance, the question of route is
secondary. If opposing lobbles meet in
Washington may raise combat that
will weaken and perhaps defeat the entire
bill. The members who have the bill in
charge are opposed to having any more
lobbying done at this time.
How does the situation look for the
canal?"
Everything has satisfactory appear
ance The friends of the bill are confident
of its passage in its present shape"

Barry and Hugh Fay in the principal
characters The large audience present
was kept in continuous laughter by the
humor and mirth-provoking by-play of
these two comedians. Fay, as the would
