ON A VOLCANOES BRINK.

Troubles Expected at Bradford, Eng,
with Striking silk weayers.
LONDON, April Dispatches re-
ceived from Bradford, Yorkshire, show
that the trouble between the authorities
and striking weaEeTs who met to pro-
test against their being refused permits
sion to hold meeting in town hall
sqnare, and who were only dispersed
after offering vigorous and obstinate
resistance to the police and the military,
is not yet at an end. AT an early hour
crowds of angry workmen again gath
cred in the narrow streets of the borough,
in the vicinity of the mills. No overt
act has occurred as yet, but the throng
of strikers is confronted by formidable
body of police, and in the barracks the
troops are kept constantly under arms
and in readiness to promptly move to
the aid of the municipal authorities,
should their services be needed. A
number of arrests lave been made of
persons charged with intimidating con-
duct towards weavers who are now on
the strike, but who are supposed to be
willing to resume work if they may
safely do so. Meantime the police and
the strikers confront each other in the
town hall square, each side apparently
awaiting the aggressive movements on
the part of its opponent to re-commence
hostilities. The police have refrained
from any attempt to disperse the
strikers.

The Great Northern to Build Branch
From Butte to Anaconda, Mont.
HELENA, Mont, April 15-President
j. j. Hill is on his way back to st. Paul.
His present trip will not extend to tile
coast, as announced.
1t Is now known that the object of
his visit was to investigate the subject
of extending the Montana Central, a
branch of the Great Northern, from
Butte to Anaconda, distance of
twenty-six miles. The only line be-
tween these places is short Union Pa
cifc branch, and it mas trouble, and
that annually, with the Anaconda Min
ing and Smelling company. The latter
company pays over $500, 900 annually
freight charges on ore and fuel handled
by the railroad
A Great Northern official in this city
stated that there was no doubt but that
the Great Northern president has ar
rived at a satisfactory agreement with
the officers of the Anaconda company
for the business of that organization.
and that work would begin in short
time on the new line.

Alton Charres Conspira,
VICTORY FOR THE ROAD.
A Decision Involving the Powers of the
Iowa Railroad Commission.

A Decision Involving the Powers of the
Iowa Railroad Commission.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, April 15.-Judge
Holmes has rendered a decision in the
Leslie station case, involving the power
of the railway commission to enforce it's
orders through the medium of the
courts.
On the line of the Des Moines and
Kansas City are the two stations, Osce-
ola and Van Vert, fourteen miles apart.
AT the former point, the Chicago, Bur-
hngton and Quincy crosses and at the
latter the Keokuk and Southwestern
About midway between these points was
Leslie, also a sidetrack called Phillips
burg, north of Leslie. The railroad
company claimed that there was more
business at Phillipsbnrg than at Leslie;
ESQ that it found business was leaving
that station to go to Van Vert. There
fore the company concluded to close the
station at Leslie and to open new one
further south. The citizens of Leslie
appealed, and the commission ordered
the station reopened. The court dis
missed the case on the ground that it
had no jurisdiction.

Quite . Costly Importation.

New YORK, April Is. - Assistant
Appraiser Burke recently classified a
consignment of kid glove wrist bands,
called welts, and imported by Mr..
Northrup, of Gloverville, N. Y, as
tured," and dutiable at 81 dozen.
This made the duty of Mr.. Northrup's
''welts'-worth $500 something like
$11 900. The importer laid the matter
before Collector Erhardt with vigorous
protest The collector called Appraiser
Cooper's attention to the appraisement
and classification, and asked to have
the mistake corrected by re-appraise-
ment. Appraiser Cooper approved the
action of his assistant, however, and
the matter will probably be referred to
the board of general appraisers for set
tlement.

third day of the official election count.

days to complete the canvass. Revision

The Convention of Delegates in Session
ut Kansas City.
KANSAS CRY, April 15.--State Sena-
tor Kelly called the first session of the
Western congress to order and Governor
Francis. of Missouri, delivered an ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates.
Purely Nen-PArtisan.
Among those who will address the
congress are: Messrs. Warner of Ohio.
and Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota.
Talk among delegates indicates that the
convention will be non-partisan, and
that no political discussions will be per
mitted. The story that the ulterior
object Of the congress is to win back
the farmers of the states represented to
the Republican party is emphatically re-
pudiated. Every subject to be discussed
is of interest to north and south and
east and west alike.

the English royal artillery, who has
been attending German army maneu-
vres for the past two years. says that
the three great factors that have infiu-
enced battle tactics tacitly are smoke
less powder, magazine guns and the
small calibre rifes. Capt. Frierson
thinks that, for field artillery, smokeless
powder is both boon and curse. A
boon because it gives clear field Of

increases the difficulty Of seeing the

One May Be Established by Private En-
terprise at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.,-It is en-
tirely within the possibilities that a
great gun plant may be established here.
Irving M. Scott has thoroughly looked
into the subject of gun making and is of
the opinion that such plant, established
by private capital, if managed well,
would pay investors handsomely.
II am convinced, said he, that if the
capitalists of San Francisco will supply
the necessary money, the plant can be
established here at cost not exceeding
$5, ,000, 900, with capacity to manufac-
ture gun rings and other forgings re-
quired by the government, in both qual-
ity and size equal to any produced by
Whitworth, Krupp, Crussott, or al

THE HANcHETTE MATTER.
No Definite News About the Long
Missing Man.


A new batch OF rumors in the Han
chette case came to light every day, and
when followed up show but little foun-
dation. The visiting card picked up
after the passage of the lake steamer off
Detroit is shown to have been thrown
from steamer which left Cleveland on
the 9TH of May at noon-the same day
upon which Hanchette is supposed to
have left Chicago at 8 80 p. m.
rumor that Hanchette was seen in
st. Louis, where he registered at hotel
under an assumed name, arose from the
fact that friend of Hanchette's who
has not left the city saw his own name
on the register list of st. Louis hotel,
published in one of the st. Louis
dailies, and mentioned the fact in
the hearing OF local amateur detective,
who jumped at the conclusion that the
party was Hanchette. On being traced
out as authority for the rumor by a
HERALD reporter yesterday, he ac-
knowledged, reluctantly, his RESPONSE
bility for the statement, and the small
foundation there was for it.
At least two detectives have seen let
ters from @. D. Hanchette, written on
the firm letter-heads OF Dunton & Han
chette, addressed to the sister of Mr..
Hanchette, who lives at Cahuenga, and
from a slight similarity of penmanships
of the two brothers, have claimed that
III. ]. Hanchette was at Hancock, Mich
igan.
Detective Smith says that he is satis-
fed that he has about located the miss
ing man and will soon be in position
to make report.

ONTARIO.

J. B. Moores, real estate agent, sold
twenty acres of Chino beet land, Satur-
day, for $500.
1t has been demonstrated by Ontario
fruit growers that lemons are even a
more profitable product than oranges.
1t will be remembered that Ontario took
all the premiums on lemons at the last
state citrus fair, and the first prize at
last years fair. For some time the pro-
cess OF curing lemons was not sufii-
ciently understood to commend the
planting of that fruit for commercial
purposes; but it has been amply demon
strated that lemon curing is not the in
superable difficulty our fruit growers
were wont to regard it. There are
now five lemon curing plants in the col
ony, and their produce is readily dis
posed of at prices that are highly re-
munerative. The soil of Ontario is spe-
cially adapted to lemon growing, and
those who apprehend that the orange
business is being overdone here have an
opportunity to enter business against
which no such objection can be raised.
Our next boom will be a lemon boom.

Mrs. S. G. McCormic, who lately came
froml Atlanta, Georgia, to Southern
California, for her health, has purchased
the romantic and beautiful Macarthur
homestead at La Canada. The
