A Steamboat Captains Attempt to Kick
Boy Resulted Dlsastrously.
PEP1N, Wis, Special, July 2S.-Capt. r.
ven Milliron, of the steamer Menominee,
attempted to kick William Pralow of this
place, boy Of seventeen, who showed grit
and stood up to the captain, who drew
revolver and discharged it full in the face
of young Pralow. The latter lodged to ono
side. and the ball passed so close to his
cheek that the powder burnt his face. Be-
fore the captain could discharge the second
bullet Pralow wrenched the weapon from
his hand, put it coolly in his pocket, and
gave the captain good thrashing.
Pralow then let him up, but the angry
spirit OF the captain was beyond control.
To be whipped by boy was too much for
him to stand. Springing to his feet he
wrenched picket from fence near by and
rushed at young Parlow with an oath,
striking murderous blow at his head
Pralow partly parted off the stroke, then
jerk ed the picket from the captains hand
and knocked him down with his own
weapon. The captain seeing he was whipped
on every point went to Durand and swore
out warrant for young Parlow's arrest.
But warrant was issued for the captain
and he is now under arrest. The friends of
young Pralow are considerably excited over
the matter.

dependent party of Nebraska met in state
convention in this city to-day. Nearly

the gathering comprises something over
nine hundred delegates, most of whom are
present. Of these the members of the
Farmers alliance predominant, with good
following of the grange, the balance being
Knights of Labor and Union Labor adj
herents.
The outcome Of this meeting is watched
with considerable interest by the followers
OF both the old parties, from whose ranks
there is OF necessity constant drain, and
should all these who have thus early cast
their fortunes with the new party remain
firm in their allegiance they will cut no
small figure in the contest in November.
An attempt to adopt the standing plat
form OF the Farmers Alliance as the plat
form of this convention proved failure.
and demanded the insertion of a plank de-
claring for the Australian ballot box, and
the eight-hour law. Alter some debate this
was conceded.
Other plants in the platform declare that
the ties binding them to the old party are
severed; free coinage of silver; land monop-
oily should be abolished; alien ownership
should be prohibited; government owner
ship of railroads and telegraphs; liberal
service pensions. A memorial from the
w. c. T. U. asking for a prohibitory plank
was pigeon-holed by the committee on
resolutions.
J. H. Powers, president of the Farmers
alliance, was nominated for governor, re-
ceiving 465 votes; c. ii. Van Wyck, 327;
DR.. A. Coleman, 46; G. c. Barnum, 25.

Position Taken BY st. Paul Citizens.
ST. PAUL Special Telegram July 49,
A meeting of the prominent citizens of St.
Paul was held at which the following res
olutions were adopted:
Whereas, The authorities OF the United Statet

the entire city OF St. Paul; and
Whereas, Such order involves charge Of sys
tematic and general fraud on the part Of citi
zens: and
Whereas, This chamber has been kept advised
through its committee of the methods OF taking
the census OF st. Paul from the beginning, and ID
fully prepared to pledge the honor Of the city
that no faint OF fraud permeates those meth.
DDS, that thare has been no attempt to swell
the enumeration by Legitimate means, and that
Irregularities, if any exist, are exceptional, such
are liable to be found in all cities as the work
OF individual enumeratOrs; and
/ Whereas, The justification for said order rests
largely on the palpable and extensive frauds in
the enumeration OF q neighboring city, thereby
unjustly linking the two municipalities in com.
mon infamy simply because Of an alleged rival
~ between them; and
Whereas, The proposed action also involves
q disgraceful stigma upon the character Of the
supervisor and all the enumerstors, stigma
which should not be imposed for insufficient
Resolved, By the chamber of commerce Of the
the City of St. Paul. representing its citizens In

insufficient grounds as have thus far been stated,
OF as are known to US, and we respectfully 70
quest the suspension Of such order pending fur
ther investigations by the census officials.

of all districts where Irregularities are shown to
exist pledging the cheerful and hearty co-opera-
ton of all our people in any measure which does
not imply in advance an unwarranted assault
upon their integrity.
Resolved, that if any frauds are discovered in
the course of these Investigations, or at any
stage of the proceedings, we earnestly request
that the perpetrators OF such frauds be imme-

RETALIATORY MEASURES.
A Scheme Considered to Bring England
to Terms in the Behring sea Matter.

A Scheme Considered to Bring England
to Terms in the Behring sea Matter.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, July %.
Since the publication OF the Behring sea
correspondence the administration has been
seriously considering whether Britain could
be brought to terms by prohibiting the
transportation of merchandise in bond
from Canada through the United States and
thus stopping very large and profitable
trade and at the same time seriously disar-
ranging great many lines OF commerce.
1t is stated on excellent authority that the
matter has already been twice considered
in cabinet without conclusion having
been arrived at, but as all matters discussed
at meeting of the cabinet are supposed to
be absolutely confidentially. no contirma-
ton can be had from any of President Har-
rison's official advisers. 1t is stated, how
ever, that some of the members Of the cab
met are opposed to the plan as they think
it might react on the administration and
would do more harm to the farmers of the
Northwest than it would to the Canadian
railroads.
In 1888, during the fisheries discussion,
President Cleveland proposed something OF
this kind in message to congress. 1t Gre
ated a great sensation at the time, especial
ly in the Northwest. A bill was introduced
in the house giving the president the power
and passed that body after long debate.
They took no action and it died with the
adjournment of congress.
1t is not seriously believed that the presi-
dent or any member of his cabinet will
prepare it, yet some member of congress
might present it Tor effect. Such bill
could not pass, and it is doubtful If it would
ever be reported, unless Senator Cullom, of
the interstate commerce committee, should
decide to push it.
President Cleveland, when he sent his
message, saw that it would hurt the North
western farmers and business men and said
that it would be impossible to injure Cana
da without inficting damages upon that
country. All the influence that Speaker
Reed could bring to bear would be against
anysuch measure or proposition as well as the
force OF the New England delegation. 1t
will be remembered IN Einnesota that the
Democratic leaders OF that state made a
hasty trip to Washington to use their in
fuence against the proposed legislation OF
1883 and that the whole Northwest country
was up in arms against the propositions.

ONE LIFE LOST.
Antonio Demario Found In Among the
Ashes of the Wallace Fire.


Ashes of the Wallace Fire.
SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Special Telegram,
July 2S.-The fire at Wallace yesterday was
the most destructive one ever known in
Northern Idaho, destroying nearly every
business house in the town and several
residences. A conservative estimate of
the loss is about 100000, on which there
is $3S, 600 insurance. Many Spokane bust
ness men are heavy losers. The fire COM
pany responded to the alarm quickly but
there was no water and the flames contin.
we'd up Sixth street to the Hanley house
and Club theater. Here it secured such a
firm hold that all efforts to save the town
were abandoned. The flames swept up Sixth
east and west and ragged on Bank
street, totally destroying every business
house and dwelling on an area of six
blocks. Great excitement prevailed during
the fire. The Hanley house was blown up
with giant powder, which only seemed to
increase and scatter the fire in every di-
rection. Antonio Demario was found this
morning burned beyond recognition, and
others are missing.

the collision occurred man, one lady and
child climbed over. They did not return.
He said:
When 1 left the Louise I saw no one in the
water. If any went overheard they must be
under the water, not on top. When the coils
ion occurred the people on the Louise rushed to
the side where the Virginia struck. l do not
want to cast any reflections on the captain Of
the Louise, but think he was wrong
The captain of the Louise disclaims all
responsibility or the accident, and init
mates that the blame is entirely with the
Bay line steamer. The Louise was carry
ing 1,45O passengers and the scene On
board was an awful one. 1t will not be
possible to learn until tomorrow, if then,
