DONALD RACE IS RUN.
Morrison, :he Lake Megantic Murderer,
Eantured at Last.

SHERBRooKE, Que, April 22.-Donald
Morrison, the Lake Megantic outlaw
who has defed the whole force of the
provincial government for over twelve
months, WAS captured last evening
by constable from Montre-
al. The government failing in
their attempts to arrest Morrison
for the murder of United States Marshal
Warren, of Lake Megantic, appealed to
the mayor of Montreal, and he sent out
force of city police headed by Judge
Dugar. These men were ten days III
the woods without success, though Nor
rison persuaded Judge Dugar TO hold an
interview with him. No terms, how
ever, could be arranged be-
tween them. On Saturday night
all the police except five we're
recalled to Montreal. Yesterday Con-
stable McMahon, one of the policemen
who had been left behind saw man
answering Morrison's description enter
a house at Marsden, and after watching
the house for several hours he went up
and demanded that the man come out.
He did so, but instead of obey
ing the policeman's order to throw
up his hands. he drew his revolver and
fired three shots at Mcmahon and his
Indian companion. The policeman re-
turned the fire, and brought the outlaw
to the ground with wound in his hip.
Assistance soon arrived and Morrison
was brought to Sherbrooke this morn

STRIKERS GIVING UP.


Thirteen is an unlucky number for the
street car strikers of Minneapolis. The
thirteenth day of the strike began with
the desertion OF twenty old
men on the University Avenue
line and their application 10 the
company for reinstatement. The exec
utive board all kepta bold front, but the
strikers privately admitted that they
were practically defeated, The failure
of the street car strike NAV result in the
disbandment of the Street Car Employees
Assembly of the Knights of La
Dor. President Lowry insists that
everv man who works for him
shall sign an ironclad contract to
form no connection with any labor
organization. Mr.. Lowry says that none
of the new men who are competent will
be discharged, but that as many as pos
sible of the old men will be reinstated
on the company's terms. The motor
men have resolved to stay out, but seven
or eight of them want to go back, they
being afraid of the blacklist, and they
are expected to apply for work.

NEW York, April 23.-The New York
Base Bail Club is homeless. Gov. Hill
to-day vetoed the bill recently passed
by the Legislature to prevent the cut
ting ofstreets through the polo grounds.
The struggle between the property
holders in the vicinity of the polo
grounds and the friends of base
ball has been going on for about two
wears, and the lovers of sport have so
far been able TO prevent the cutting up
of the grounds of the New York Club,
but the action of the governor and
struggles of property holders are finally
victorious. Managers of the New York
Club felt sure that they could prevent
the destruction of the grounds, and ac-
cordinglv have made no arrangements
looking toward new grounds. They
have the choice between Staten Island

evening destroyed the Meiswinkel
Woodenware Company's plant. The
flames spread rapidly to adjoining
property, owing TO the gale which pre-
vailed, until twelve additional frame
buildings burned, including the sheds
of the Hooker brickyard. The
total loss is about $l50,O09 Be-
tween 500 and 600 cords of
wood were burned. Help was asked of
Green Bay, Appleton and OshkOsh-two

structive fires are raging In the woods
north of here, along the line of the Lake
Shore Road. The timber is dry and the
flames spread with great rapidity. The
small town of Buckbee was entirely
wiped out. Buckbee is numbering
town, and great deal of lumber was
stored there. This was entirely con-
sumed. The loss is estimated at $780,
600. \ train of fourteen cars of lumber
and five cars of logs caught fire near
Marion and burned; loss, about SO, 900.
The full loss on the lumber and dwell
ings at Buckbee and near Marion will
amount to nearly 100000. There has
been but little rain in that section this

There was rioting in the streets of
Vienna on the 23d. The military
charged the mob with sword and
bayonet and cleared the way. The
rioters were merely anti-Sem-
itic enthusiasts, actual workmen
generally not participating in the tu.
mults. The government offered to sup
ply soldiers to drive the cars and the
strikers thereupon offered to resume
work Internationally. The directors
decided to re-employ all drivers who
had taken no part in the rioting. At 10
O'Clock p. NJ. a hand to hand conflict
took place between the soldiers

The rioters were organized, being
divided into groups of fifty, with lead

Per Cent. Reduction.
New YORK, April pa reduction of
90 per cent. in freight rates between
New York and Mexico has been made
oy the railroads taking freight from this
city, and rates are now 90 cents 100
pounds against S130 before the reduc-
ton. This break is caused by the action
of the Ward Line of Steamships which
is now taking freight as low as 10 cents
per 100 pounds. The Ward Line has
been working under an arrangement
with the New York & Texas Traffic As
sociation, but was obliged to make con-
cessions on account of the active compe-
tition of the Topez Steamship Line
which has a heavy subsidy from the

NO REFUGE FOR BOODLERS-
The Canadian House of Commons Passes
Extradition Law.

an ENtradition Law.
The Dominion House of Commons
on the 23d passed the Extradition law,
after striking out the retroactive clause
and adding an amendment which
provides that the government to
must give guarantee that the
prisoner will only be tried
for the offense for which he is extra
dited. Frauds committed by bankers
and corporation employees were also
added to the schedule of offenses.
Prot. Weldon made a strong plea for his
bill. The border counties of the do
minlon, he said, were haunted by
American criminals. In addition, the
bill would cover the case of Ameri-
can boodlers, who came north to
flaunt their ill-gotten gains, thus
cOrrupting the morals of Canadian bust
ness raen. What he desired was stat
utory offer rather than treaty, where
by Canada announced to all nations her
willingness to hand over fugitives from
justice. 1t would purge the soil of a
dangerous element and cleanse what
could be only regarded j st now as an
augean stable. The measure, he ex-
planned, would be applied to all coun-
tries whether Canada had an extradl-
ton treaty with them or not. Mr..
Skinner held that the measure was
crude and that Canada could not sue
ossfu!ly accomplish by statute what has
Ill along and everywhere been done by
treaty. The law then passed. The bill
to amend the copyrights act was also
