Col. w. E. Dodge, in the Argus: The
side track for the Cotton mine, near Minot,
was put in nearly six months ago, in &C
cord with the direction of the state board
of railroad commissioners, and the people
of North Dakota can have all the coal they
want now.
Minot Reporter: Col. Dodge is the at
torney for the Great Northern and ought
to know that the above is not true. The
facts of the case are: That Mr.. Cotton
did the grading this summer, with the ex-
plicit understanding that as soon as the
grading was oompleted!the company would
hay the iron; but in few days letter
comes along containing blanks for Mr..
Cotton to sign binding himself to pay the
company over 800 as soon as the iron
was down, entirely ignoring the previous
agreement. Atpresent the matter remains
''ststu quo"

The Earthquake i'm Japan.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 81 The worst is vet 90
be told about tue awful earthquake of last
Wednesday. SO sudden was the disaster
that with the first rumblngs of the earth
tbs people were stricken with panic and
were crushed i'm the ruins of falling build
ings. or thrown 10y crumbling debris.
The h1voc was instant ineous and unpre-
cedeL I'm enormous tract was laid
deSolate The terror stricken crowd
thought Of nothing but escape from the
yawning Jaws of the earth.
Those who were MANNED or caught, and
in the afflicted towns they numbered nun
dreds were left 10 die n lingering death by
the sides of thousands Of corpses
An appalling feature of this national
disaster was the fact that many of the
hundreds of wounded persons who i'm the
mad rush for safety were left TO their fate,
died not only from exposure but from
starvation.
The towns Of Okonau. Kano and Kassa-
mutsu have been literally wiped ont. but
very few of the unfortunate inhabitants
escaping. At Aifu 5000 houses were de
stroyed and 5000 persons killed LOO
houses were wrecked and 1900 persons lost
their lives at Orangora.
Fifty miles Of railway has been destroyed
and i'm the earthquake district number
OF European residences were engulfed.
but Cooks tourists parties now In that
country are safe. The lowest estimate

THE D0N0HUE CASE.
Attorney General and Mr.. Stiness
Review the Testimony,

The evidence in the Donohue murder
case was all in when the court adjourned
yesterday afternoon, and with the opening
of court again this morning, Lawyer
Stiness, counsel for the defence began his
plea.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tators. Donohue, as usual, was in his
seat beside his counsel, with, the same
frank. confident look on his face. Directly
behind him sat his wife and sisters, who
sobbed during the greater part of the fore
noon.
Donohue tried to keep the tears back,
but they would come in spite of him and
for the moment his eyes would be hidden
behind the handkerchief and then he
wonld resume the same confident air i'm
studying the jury. There were very few
i'm the court room who thought he would
be convicted.
In beginning his argument TO the jury
Mr.. Stiness, Donohue's attorney, said that
the original count in the Indictment,
murder, he should not deal with at all
There was no evidence of murder, and
there was only one of two verdicts that
could be returned under the evidence
manslaughter or acquittal. He reviewed
the evidence in detail, calling attention to
the similarity in the story which Donahue
told the officers on the night when the
deed was committed and what he
told on the witness stand He and
his wife were the only living witnesses
of the affair. All the other evidence was
purely circumstantial. Donohue and his
wife agreed in almost every particular in
their stories, and were not shaken i'm the
least by the heavy cross-fire TO which they
were subjected by the attorney general;
could they do this if they We're not telling
the truth there was homicide that he
would admit, but it was justifiable in the
face of the fact that McAlevy had threat
tined to annihilate the whole family.
Attorney General Burbank began his
argument at IL o'clock and had not finish
ed when the recess was taken at O'Clock.
He insisted that it was murder, not even
manslaughter that there was no cause
for the shooting; that nobody was in
danger; that after the first quarrel Dono-
hue had deliberately gone up stairs and
got his reqolver with the intention of kill
ing McAlevy If he returned. The latter
came back for his hat and coat as was
natural that he should and Donohue shot
him with the deliberate intention of com
hitting murder.

The ATHLETIC CLUB
A Proposition In Writing, Submitted
This Morning.
THE TERMS ARE KEPT SECRET.
But will be Considered This Evening.
Probabilities of Negotiations Early
Next tWeek-Coilateral Provisions OBJ

The finance committee of the Providence
Athletic Club met with the special com
mittee of the directory Of the Industrial
Trust Company this morning TO further
consider the matter Of erecting building
for the occupancy of the club. On this
occasion the Trust Company was to make
formal statement OF just what IL would
do In the premises.
President Colt delivered 90 the finance
committee proposition which has been
reduced to writing and is now in the
hands OF George l.. Shepley, and this
evening he, with the other members OF the
hnance committee, will submit To the
governing committee of the club.
The proposition deals largely with fig
ures. and there are collateral provisions
which cannot, In justice 10 the Club or
the Trust Company, be made public at
present. The amount of money called
for under the lease and the sum which Is
10 be devoted TO furnishing and fitting up
the building exceed the amounts that the
Club feels willing TO pay, and there are
some OF the collateral provisions which
are objected TO- The Governing Commit
tee WILL il is said, suggest in meeting,
what the Club is willing to do on its part,
and then will come conferences and nego-
tiations which will no doubt result in such
concessions that the Trust Company will
undertake To erect the club house.
The club will probably insist on long
lease, one Of not less than twenty years,
and upon conditions which will make the
club house resort for business men.
President Colt this week personally iu-
spected the New York and Boston Ath-
letic club houses, and found them TO be of
a very high character. He was so well inn
pressed that il is felt that he will do
everything that he can in reason 20 further

PROVIDENCE POLITICS.
George D. Lansing Aldermanic Cam
didate From the Second Ward.
THE WEST PEOPLE CONFIDENT.
Everybody In the Fifth Wants to Go Ia
the Board-Either Brown or Woods
for Senator.

A change of program has been made in
the Second Ward. A week ago 1t was
thought that John NJ. Rounds would be
selected to succeed Alderman Douglas,
but now il is said that the Republicans
will nominate Councilman George d. Ian
sing, who is well and favorably known
among the business men.
Alderman Ambrose r.. West said to-day
that there was no doubt about what would
be done in the Tenth Ward He predicted
that the Burton men would be nowhere in
the caucus, and that the present City
Council ticket would be victorious at the
polls.
In the Fifth ward all the members OF
the delegation in the Common Council are
asserted TO be desirous of taking Alder
man Burrows place in the board, Al
dermaD Burrows favors Councilman
William X Reynolds in preference TO
either of the other three councilmen, and
there is promised quite a brush on the
home stretch.
The Sixth looks a little rocky to-day.
Alderman Fuller was defeated in the
Democratic caucus last year, and then
ran as Republican. Opinion Is divided
as TO his being able TO hold his own on a
strict party line The Carr Democrats
are said TO be arraying themselves against
Alderman Fuller, and a break is reported
in another direction. Hoffman Dorches-
ter is coming forward as a formidable OPP
ponent, and TO defeat him Alderman Full
Ter must have solid ranks. The Carr men
are liable, from what is said, to go over TO
the Republican candidate If Fuller runs as
a Democrat.
In the Ninth ward Mr.. Dennis, II he
gets the Republican nomination, will be
elected, and this is prophesied by people
of that ward who are thoroughly posted
'as regards the McElroy- McGovern- Nc
Cusker imbroglio. George X. Phillips
would like TO run, but Mr.. Phillips son
is dyed-in-the the-wool democrat, and some
OF the residents of the ward say that that
will initiate against him. A stay -at-home
vote from the Broadway end of the ward
may be the result of the Atwell's avenue
affair." although Mr.. Dennis protests that
he was in no wise responsible for that
memorable visit and the things which fol-
lowed il.
The senatorial contest appears to have
narrowed down to ID. Russell Brown and
John Carter Brown Woods. The latter
named gentleman is quite non-committal,
aver ing that it is too early to give the
matter serious consideration but Mr..
Brown frankly says that he is a candi-
date. 1t is already known that he can
have support of most fattering char
actpr
