The Rope Didn't Stop Them.

DULUTH, Oct 15.-A peculiar complica.
ton terminated here to-day when William
Boineg, who claims to be the owner Of
certain lots through which the Duluth
ship canal was cut, attempted to string a
rope across the canal to prevent the pas
sage of shipping. AS the canal has been
used without remonstrance for eighteen
years by vessels of several nations, also
il he ever had, any title. The rope was
stretched to test the title in the United
States courts. 1t was stretched three times

Nine Persons killed.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 15.-The most APP
palling accident ever known on the in
clined plane railway Of this city happened
to-day between 12 and O'clock. 1t was
on Mount Auburn inclined plane, which
lies at the head Of Main street and reaches
a height Of between $50 and 800 feet in the
space of 1900 feet or less. Two cars are
employed, one on each track. They are
drawn by.twO steel wire cables that are
wound upon a drum at the top of the hill
by an engine located there. Nine passen-
gers had entered the car at the foot of the
plane, and number were in the other car
at the top. The passage of the ascending car
was all right until It had reached the top,
when to his unspeakaDle horror the faith
full engineer found that the machinery
the engine. Only one result was possible,
the car was assisted by a strong bumper
which stops its progress, and as the engine
continued, all it's force was extended on
two cables and they snapped like wrap
ping thread under Its enormous power.
within began the descent of that frightful
slope. What were the feelings and thoughts
of the fated nine may hardly be imagined.
The crash at the foot of the plane was fright
full. a cloud of dust arose that hid the wreck
from view for moment, but when
it was dispelled the scene was horrible.
The iron gate that formed the lower end
of the track on which the cars rested was
thrown sixty feet down the street. The
top OF the car was lying almost as far in
the gutter. The track itself, and the IL or:
ana seats of the car formed a shapeless
wreck, mingled with the bleeding and
mangled bodies of nine passengers. As
soon as it could be done, the dead bodies.
were taken to the mOrgue to await full
identification, while the wounded wer3
carried to various places where examina-
tiOns could be made. The intensest excite
menJ prevailed and numberless inquiries
were made by friends who feared that
members Of their families might be on the
fated car. This inclined plane is the old
est IN the city. 4 was built
tie tSs first s'.s accident @ attended @ lug with Il
loss of life at any Of the four inclined
planes thatiare In almost constant use. 1t
Is too early for an examination intO the.
trouble with the engine, but there have
been only two similar cases in the history
of the inclined planes here. On both the
others the engine was got under cont al
before the cables were broken. The most
horrible condition Of any except the nine.
In tie descending car was that of the pas
SengerS In the other car at the foot ut he
plane. They were locked In, as al is ALWAYS
the case and were cOmpt He'd to await the
crash beside them at the foot OF the tr .ck.
The list Of the dead now stands: Judge
William Dickson. Mrs. Caleb Ives, Miss
Lillian Oskamp, Michael Kneiss, Joseph
HOckstiller. Joseph McFadden. Several
others were badly injured.

win Favor Tariff Reduction.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-A Washington
special to the Post says: 1t is widely be-
lieved here that the president will recon-
mend in his message some decided modfi-
cation of the existing tariff. From re-
marks he has let drop to persons who have
conversed with him on the subject, it is in
ferred that he realizes the party expedi-
ency of such course, and two members
of his cabinet whose cOunsels would be
most likely to influence him, are of the
same nina. Secretary Windows northwest
ern education fits him to favor revision,
while Secretary Blaine has, within a few
days, expressed himself decidedly in hope
that congress will take up the question at
once and dispose of it. The conversation
was started by his friends inquiring what
he thought of Representative Lodges
scheme for the federal election law as a
means of bringing outa fair vote in the
southern states. The secretary answered
that this was no time to raise such an
issue before the country. what people
expect of congress- z he added, sis to de-
fer all other general legislation till the
tariff question is put out OF the way. As
long as that hangs over its head it can
hope to do nothing satisfactory in the other
policy for the republicans in both houses
to unite as soon as congress convenes,
upon a bill defined to meet the popular
demand for tariff revision without dis
turbing the welfare OF any established
American industry. Other matters, how
ever interesting and important, can afford
to wait till this one is adjusted. With the
party has made its promises on this hand
in good faith, they will give it all the
heartier support in any enterprise thunder

The situation at Helena.

HELENA, Oct. 15.-The official returns
from every county but one show that the
republicans have 50 in the house to 81 DEM
Ocrats, with one doubtful in Madison. The
republicans will have5 to 8 majority on
joint ballot, but as the decision OF the eau
cusing board in Silver Bow county is to be
contested in the courts, there is no telling
when the members from Silver Bow county
will get their certificates of election. With
out that county the senate would be to
Y and the house 25 to 20 in favor of the re-
publicans. The democrats claim ths delay
and contest will delay the admission of
the state, but the republicans hold that
statehood is contingent only on the adop-
republican candidate for governor, is
likely to institute contest before the ter
ritOrial canvassing board on the vote in
Deer Lodge county. If this should sue

THE REPUBLICANS AHEAD.
HELENA, Oct. 15.-There has been no
new development in the Silver Bow con-
test to. day, save that instead of the repre-
sentatives getting in their entire legisla-
tive delegation, they only got six members,
but that number is sufficient to overcome
the democratic majority, which showed on
the face of the returns. The general opin-
Bow canvassers had no authority to go
back of the returns, and that the court will
decide in favor of counting Of the ballots
as returned by the judges Of election. The
democrats are very outspoken in denuncia-
tlOn OF the action of the canvassers.
