KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 14.-J. r.
johnson. travelling man we'll known
in this city. returned this week from
New Mexico, where he had been in the
interest of a Chicago house, where he
witnessed one of the most horrible duelS
ever fought in that state. The men
were mounted, and the weapons used
were lariats. The duel came off at the
little village of Sebollo. The trouble
was about pretty little senorita. The
men had some angry words about the
girl, and finally decided to settle it with
their lariats. A rapid ride took the
party far enough out on the
plains to allow the duelists free
room in which to ride. The men
were bareheaded and stripped. At a
given word they rode slowly past each
other. went about twenty yards, turned,
and were ready to begin. LasSo in
hand, they slowly circled about. keep
ing watchful eye Oh each other. Sud-
denly there was hiss and lasso flew
in the air. An alert eye and quick
dodge caused it to fall short, and be-
fore it could be recovered the other had
thrown his rope, but it, too, had been
guarded. This continued for several
minutes, many throws being made and
avoided. At last the smaller of the two
men sent his rope whistling through
the air. The other threw up his hand
and arm to ward it off, but the loop set
tied down over his head and arm. and
in flash it was drawn tight. He was
jerked out of the saddle, and then the
other started his horse on run across
the plain, dragging the inanimate body
of his rival.

THE MINERAL DISPLAY.

Commissioner Mcdonald Wants
1t Complete in Every Detail.
CHICAGO, Sept. A.. Commissioner
Mcdonald has introduced the following,
which is to be acted upon by the gen.
eral commission now in session:
To the Committee on Permanent Or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.: The subcom-
mittee on mines and mining have the
honor to report: Recognizing the fact
that the mineral deposits of the country
are one of the greatest sources of its
wealth, and their development one of
the most extensive and important of in
dustrieS, your committee earnest
ly recommends the establishment
of a separate department., in
separate building, to be called the de-
partment of mines and mining. Also,
that i'm extending to foreign govern
ments an invitation to participate in the
exposition they be especially requested
to furnish complete display of their
mineral resources, together with the
methods and machinery used ip their
mines. This exhibition should include
a collection of all known minerals and
precious stones and all forms of stone
used for building or ornamental pur-
poses, all the productions of the quar-
ries of the world, as well as the mines.
Near the building devoted to this
purpose could be arranged mod
els of some of the more IA
nous mines of this and other
countries, which would furnish thepub-
lie an illustration of the method of their
operation. A miniature mountain might
be erected to show the geological forma-
ton of mineral lands, and the several
processes of reducing ores to metal
could be shown by introducing minia-
ture smelters on the ground. Other
suggestions of similar character might
be made, for the field offers an almost
infinite opportunity for the display of
taste and Ingenuity on the part of the
persons who may have charge of the
department. Associated with the
collection of ores should be an
exhibition of mining implements and
machinery; not only those used and
manufactured in the United States, but
it is especially important to secure COM
plete collections from abroad, in order
that our people NAV study the methods
and machinery used in foreign countries
in immediate contrast with those in
vogue at home. In no branch of human
industry has greater progress been
made than in mining, and additional in
terest might be attracted by display
showing its development from the awk-
ward methods of the ancientS to the
complete processes that modern genius
has devised. MARK l.. MCDONALD.

TRIED TO KILL BURKE.
A Shot Fired at a Faithful Iowa
Officer.

MARsHALLTowN, To-, Sept. Ia. =
Nearly successful attempt was made
here early this morning to assassinate
Detective j. G.. Burke, who figured
so prominently in the notori-
GUS Rainsbarger and Henry Johns
murder cases in Hardin county. Burke
has bean stopping here at the Wilson
house for some time. Last evening the
night clerk got him to take his place in
tine office while he went out OF town to
spend the night. Shortly before
O'Clock this morning Burke was passing
through the office when he heard a piS-
tol shot from the outside, and at the
same instant 3S-caliber bullet
crashed through the side window
and missed Burke by about
two inches. 1t passed through
a partition wall and struck on the oppo-
site side wall and rebounded OH the
floor, where it was found later. The
detective ran out in time to dimly see
his wOuld-be assassin skulking down an
alley. He followed and fired four shots
after the miscreant, but none took
effect, and the latter escaped. Burke
arrested Marx and Rice in Cali
fornia last spring, and brought
them back here for trial for
the murder of Henry Johns, brother
in-law of Rainsbarger The brothers
have since then made repeated threats
against the detectives life, and this
IS presumably another out
break of the old deadly Rainsbarger
vendetta, and it is evident that the end
OF the feudal warfare is not vet.

CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept 1.-THE

parlor of the Mountain house. Rev.

president was liberal contributor. In
the afternoon the president and Mrs.
Dimmick took long walk over the
mountains. Many eXcurSionists visited
Cresson during the day and spent most
of their time watching the movements
of the presidents family. Among the
latest arrivals here are Messrs. j. A.
Lowell and Joseph de Camp, of Boston,
who contemplate making sketches of
the famous "Horseshoe Curve" for
large painting. There has been de-

day log fires are burning brightly in the
hotel and all the cottages, including the
one occupied by the chief executive. 1t
is understood that the president has
been in communication with Represent
ative Mckinley and other leading Re-
publican members of congress for
several days past in regard to
the treatment of goods in the
bonded warehouses under the
new tariff bill, with view to the pre-
ventlOn of further stringency in the
money market, and that an agreement
has been reached whereby the time for
the withdrawal of goods imported prior
to the date on which the law goes into
effect Will be extended until Feb. l.
While the president will not admit that
such is his intantion, it is regarded here
as practically settled that he will return
to Washington next Saturday. The
season ends on that day with the closing
of the Mountain house. So. if the pres
ident remains longer, he will find the
place decidedly lonesome, to say nothing
of the difficulty of procuring meals at
country inns, the nearest of which is
over mile from his cottage, which has
scarcely any convenience for cooking.
During the coming week the president
and family will visit Johnstown. Bell's

NEGROES NOT WANTED.
The Maryland Law School Shuts
Out Colored Men.

Out COlOred Men.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-The Maryland
law school has determined that it will
admit no more colored students. Last
year two colored students, Cummins
and johnson, the first who ever attended
the lectures there, we're graduated with
high honors. After their gradu-
alton, two more colored students, w,
Ashbie Hawkins and John l.. DOZier.
applied for admission and were re-
ceived. They have been at the uni
versity one year, and have been notified
by John p. Poe, on the part of the re-
gents, that they cannot return. The
white students of the law. medical and
dental departments of the university
sent petition to the faculty protesting
against the admission of any colored
students to the law school. Mr.. Poe
says that some time last winter a peti-
ton against the admission or retention
of c0lored students was laid be-
fore the faculty, signed by nearly
all of the ninety-nine students.
The matter has been continuously agi-
tated since that time, and this summer
the regents, into whose hands the ques-
ton was left for adjudication, had held
several meetings and considered it very
carefully on all bearings. They had
finally resolved that it would be unwise
to endanger the school or jeopardize its
interests In any way by any longer al
lowing colored students to attend the
school in the face of such manifest op-
position. A number of students left
the schools and others and refused
to enter because of the presence
of the two colored men and the
school was continually liable to
those losses so long as that state of af-
fairs lasted. That was the chief consid-
Grafton influencing the action of the re-
gents. and, in view of their exceedingly
low record, they did not feel it incum-
bent upon them to force an issue on
their account. Hawkins is the princi-
pal of public school at Towson. Doz-
ier will go to the Howard university at
Washington. Hawkins states that the
action of the faculty practically shuts
him out of all possibility Of entering the
legal profession. He is so placed, being
married man, that he cannot leave his
present position to study elsewhere.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 14.-Robert
Ray Hamilton, whose trouble. with his
wife and the latter's sentence to the
penitentiary, on the charge of attempt
ing to kill him, were the talk of the
country a year or more ago, met an ac-
cidental death three weeks ago, and
yet so effectually had he hidden him
self and his disgrace from the world that,
save his own immediate family, no
one beside the old acquaintance who
found his body was aware of his fate
till yesterday. About six weeks ago
Hamilton came west and purchased
ranch on Snake river in Idaho, on the
road into the Yellowstone National
park. His object was to make it an out
fitting point for park tourists who went
into the national pleasure ground by
the Union Pacific. About three weeks
ago j. o. Green, son of Presi-
dent Norvin Green, of the West
ern Union, started to go into the
Park. He came west over the Utah &
Northern road, leaving the railroad at
Beaver canon and going east. After
little while he came to Hamilton's
ranch, but found the latter was not at
home, Hamilton's people telling the
New Yorker that he had gone out four
or five days previous on a hunt with a
horse, taking adog along. The next day
Mr.. Green started to look for Hamilton,
making up a party for the purpose.

body taken to the ranch and notified
Hamilton's folks; then continued his
journey to the park. After his trip to
the park Mr.. Green returned to
Helena and told the above story
of Hamil on's drowning. He said
the unfortunate man was evidently
drowned while fording the river.
A few miles below where the body was
found, his dog and horse were discov-

much surprised on arriving in Helena
to find the public knew nothing about

VAST TERMINAL SYSTEM.
The journal of Finance Outlines
a Great Scheme.

New YORK, Sept. 10. Wall streets
new daily financial paper, the Journal
of Finance, will announce tomorrow a
project for providing Chicago with
vast terminal asystem. 1t is to be
erected by the Chicago Elevated
Terminal Railway company, and inter
ested in it financially are some of the
chief capitalists of Chicago and New
York and Europe. Work upon the i'm
pOrtant enterprise is to be begun very
soon, and though an independent cor
poratiou will control it. all of the lead
ing railroads entering Chicago from the
East, South and West are to be accom-
modated by it. An immense grand
central station is to be erected near
Twelfth and State streets, to be
used as a general union depot. Ele-
waited lines are to be built, which will
be partly iron and steel structures and
partly brick arches. Not only passen-
ger trains, but freight trains, will run
over the tracks. The freight cars will
be lowered to the street by means of
hydraulic elevators, such as already
used Ill London. The project is one of
great magnitude, but it is stated that it
will surely soon be carried to compile
ton.

AS Printed, Kennedy's Speech
Does Not Mention Senator Quay.

AS Printed, Kennedy's Speech
Does Not Mention Senator Quay.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The speech
of Representative Kennedy, of Ohio,
attacking the senate and Senator Quay,
which created a sensation when deliv-
cred ten days ago, appeared in the
Congressional Record this morning,
after having been revised by Mr.. Ken
nedy. The speech, as it appears in the
governments official publication of the
proceedings of congress, differs from the
speech as originally delivered in the
elimination of certain passages which,
it has been asserted, were contrary to
parliamentary rules and usageS. The
revised speech is hardly less severe
than as originally delivered, but it
is believed, by the congressmen from
Ohio to be now in. conformity
with the rules of the house governing
criticisms in debate of the other branch
of the legislature. The first part of the
speech, which was devoted to the fed
eral election bill, is unchanged. Com
ing down to the attack upon the senate,
no change is made in that part refer
ring to the high character and standing
of Webster. Clay. Fessenden and Wade.
Then, after declaring that Ohio has
twice within decade been disgraced
ny SendtOfS CHOSEN SIMPLY because
they were able to outbid other contest
ants" there is this sentence:
surely the cloak of senatorial court
esy has been used to hide the infamy
and the corruption which has dishon-
ored and disgraced a body which was
once the proudeSt in the land"
This is the only reference to the
''clOak of senatorial courtesy" all that
part declaring that senatorial courtesy
had become stencil i'll the nostrilS OF
the people and cloak to cover up in
famies being omitted. The only changes
made, so far as Senator Quay is con-
cerned. consist in the eiisiOn of the
word criminal where it occurs in two
places. and the omission of all mention
of Senator Quay by name. Where it
was suggested in the original speech
that Judas, when he hanged himself,
mad left ''an example for the Matt
Quays that is we'll worthy of their mi
tation,'' there is substituted therefor
the following: IAN example well
worthy of imitation" The sentence,
.'The Republican party cannot afford to
follow the lead of branded criminal"
is stricken out altogether. and later on,
where it was said HE stands a con-
victed criminal before the bar of public
opinion,'' change is made so as to
read, He stands convicted before the
bar of public opinion"
