ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-The Republic re-

RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex, Jan. 1.-The
following report is received from Hardie,

struck the camp of about 200 of Garza's

with no casualties OH our side.

to this place last night, and the follow
ing report was made to the department
headquarters by Capt. Bourke:
Hardie has with him Capt. Bourke's
company of Texas rangers and force
of deputy marshals under Deputy Mar
shall Van Ripper. a posse under Sheriff
Halnes, of CarriesO, and some Mexican
trailers sent him by Gen. Lorenzo
Garcia, of the Mexican army
There are two companies under
Beach and Short just down from San
Antonio. The bandits scattered in the
chaSeparai at shutdown, and | do not
think they will fight much unless they
get caught in the tolls. Mckay and /
left Hardie this morning after fight
and came across country to Pineino
twenty miles, and back of some of the
ranches.
The great danger is that those bandits
will break into small squads apd plum
der travellers. They Eave perfect Or
ganization, good system of signals,
know the country thoroughly and being
without uniform can turn themselves
into Innocent rancfmen and cd
to herders in FIVE minutes. There
is great need of pack trains
and liberal allowance of, guides and
trailers who know the counGy and peol
pie. give it as the opinion of Hardie,
Mckay, Brooks, Van RIpen, Haines and
myself. that there should be general
roundup of ranches from Polist to
command from 8 O'Clock in the
morning until shutdown of the
90, covering fifty miles. but it was i'm
possible to bring the outlaws to bay in
the darkness. Capt. McNeirs company
of rangers arrived here last night from
Alice. The captain of the rangers teIe-
graphs from Edinburg, Tex. fifty miles
south. as follows: An armed party Is a
Arguellas Blanco, twenty miles west
of here. Sheriff Closner and myself in
combination with Col. Manero's cavalry
will raid them late tomorrow night. 1t
seems that Cara is making no attempt
to cross into Mexico, but collecting all
his fol ces together on this side to defy
the United States troops.
Later-A squad of Capt. McNeilI's3
company of rangers had running fight
with a small party of revolutienists
about ten miles from here this alter
noon. He succeeded in capturing one
of their horses. About 800 shots were
fireds but no rangers were injured. The
loss on the other side is not reported.

Roughly Handled.


LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. There is
great excitement in railroad circles here
today over the election of carload of
''scab" railway employees at Argenta,
who were en- route from indianapolis
and Louisville to Arkansas Pass rail-
way. A telegram had been received
here ordering breakfast for the party.
and in this way the information was
received by the railway employees at
Argenta andsLittle Rock.
A 1880 this morning crowd of sew
eral hundred men, chiefly railroad en-
ployes, were at the Fort Smith d Iron
Mountain crossing when the cannon
BalI'' from St. Louis steamed in. No
sooner had the train arrived when a
burly man with black SLOUGH hat or led
out to the crowd: "Cut the hose and
Well drop the car out" A hundred
men rushed to do his bidding, the hose
was cut and the r,with another sleep
er in the rear, was cut out. When the
train started for Little Rock, the mob
having neglected to cut the bell cord, the
engineers bell rang and he stopped the
train.
By this time all the engine whistles
in the yard began to blow and it seemed
that bedlam had broken loose A hun
i.
driving the occupants, some forty tele-
graph operators, machinists and brake
men. thoroughly alarmed, from the
car and into the swampS hundred
feet beyond. Most of them were driven
into pond through which they found
cred. followed by their Infatuated pur-
suers. The sleeperS were recoupled to
the train and it crossed the river into
Little Rock. where another crowd of
men boarded the car and with knives
cut to pieces all the baggage of the I'M
fortunate ScabS, tossing it through the
car windows into the yards.
j. Fl. Littlefeld, who was in charge
of the party of scabs, and several of his
companions who escaped the mob, hay
ing taken refuge in the rear sleeper,
took train for Texas while the other
members of the party are hidden in the
SWamps awaiting an opportunity to es-
cape. The railroad authorities are en-
ragged at this action of their employees.
Cara Has Spies.
Cara has spies in this city who keep
him fully posted of every maneuver of
the troops, and if the rumored revolt of
the Mexican soldiers at Mier to join his
standard proves correct, it is believed
that the population of Northern Mexico
will flock to his standard rapidly. The
recent persecution of the Catholic
clergymen has heightened the disaffec-
ton toward the Diaz government, and
all that the people are waiting for to
join any revolutionary movement is the
prospects of its success. Further news
is awaited here with much anxiety.
Last advices were rom Capt. Wheeler,
commanding at Fort Ringgold, who was

SOLID FOR SHERMAN.
Gov. McKinIey's Influence Said
to Be at Work

COLUMBUS, Jan. 1.-The doubt sur
rounding the position of Mr.. Thomas,
of Stark county, whose nomination is
said to have been due to the Foraker
influence. leads many persons to be-
lieye that the gentleman's actions are
due to the influence of Mai. Mckinley,
and that the governor-eIect is taking
hand in a quiet way against Gov. For
aker. Mr.. Thomas is prominent in
labor circles and it is claimed that he
owes his seat to the personal efforts of
John 2. Jones, president of the state
organization of United Mine Workers, a
man whose preference for Foraker is
equally we'll known.
However this may he, Mr.. Thomas
has just declared himself uneQuivocally
for Sherman, and many of the Foraker
papers of the state and not a few of the
ex-gOvernor'S supporters here declare
that Major Mckinley has influenced the
county. This growing storm was
promptly checked tonight by MIR. Cox,
Forakers Cincinnati manager.
1.-The report does great injustice to
Gov. Mckinley" SAID he, land l want
to say now that Mr. Foraker and his
friends do not hold Mckinley response
bic for Thomas actions. We believe
the governor has maintained throughout
position of strict neutrality, and he
should not be hastily accused of inter-
ference. He has been fair and frank,
and has taken no part" Representa-
tive Axline, of Perry, who has Eeen
classed in the doubtful list, with prob
able leaning toward Foraker, has
declared for Sherman. Representative
Allen, of Greene, reached the city and
confirms the report that he will vote for
Gov. Foraker. Thus the days declara-
lions show the relative change in the
situation, the eight or nine doubtful
men still holding the key.
Great excitement was created last
night by the announcement that Repre-
sentative William Ii. Dicks, of Cncin-
natl, Hamilton county, had openly de-
clared for Sherman. Mr.. Dicks action
was regarded as NEST significant from
the fact that it meant break in the
Hamilton County delegation, which has
heretofore been claimed as solid for For
aSer. To definitely settle the question of
his allegiance Mr.. Dick himself called at
the Sherman headquarters and person
ally pledged his support TO the senator,
Il have decided to support you, SEN
ator," said he, land it is time every
body should know where ! stand"
Several prominent citizens of Cleve-
land and Cuyahoga county, headed by
Hon. Mark Hanna, called upon Senator
Sherman this evening and assured him
that he would receive the substantial
support OF the Cuyahoga county delega-
ton, despite the reports to the contrary.

FUNNY FOR FORAKER.
He Thinks Least Said Will Be
Soonest Mended.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 1.-The press must
excuse me from anything in the way of
an interview" said ex-Gov. Foraker
pleasantly, ''as | have preferred all
along to say as little as possible for pub
LEGATION. There is nothing in the situa.
ton today to alter my hopefulness as
to the outcome. My friends here can
probably give you more details as to
men and figures than | can"
The friends of the ex-governor eX
pressed the greatest confidence in his
ultimate success, and insisted that they
had assurances of support from more
than half the members elect. 1--WE do
not give names," said George Cox, Of
Cincinnati. Foraker's Hamilton county
manager, because it would be unjust
to gentlemen who have interests in the
coming house and senate caucuses of
tomorrow afternoon, and whose per-
sonal interests or candidates for house
offices might suffer opposition should
they now declare themselves"
The house caucus to nominate a
speaker and minor officers and the sem
ate to nominate president pro tenn and
subordinate officers will both be held
tomorrow afternoon and evening. After
they are over the doubtful members
will all promptly declare themselves on
the senatorial question, and the Amer
lean public will know by tomorrow
night who is to succeed John Sherman.

CAUCUS CHANCES.
The Speakership Looked Upon a
Deciding Point.

The Speakership Looked Upon as
Deciding Point.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 1.-The legislative
caucus for the nomination of officers of
the house will be held at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. The fight on the
speakership is very close, the candi-
dates being Lewis c. Laylin, of Huron,
and John A. McGrew, of Clark county.
The probabilities are in favor of Mr..
Laylin, but this, it is now conceded,
will not be sure index ON the Sena-
tOrial question.
Several mem bers who will positively
vote for Gov. Foraker have been for
months pledged to Mr.. Laylin, and
they will vote for him and against Mr..
Sherman; yet no attempt is made to de-
ny the fact that Laylin is the recognized
SHERMAN candidate" and there is no
doubt his election will be heralded as
preliminary victory by the senator's
friends.
The United States senatorial caucus
will not be held until Wednesday next.
but there is no doubt That the contest
will be practically over long before that,
and that the caucus will be put formal
affair.
1t is generally conceded that Hon.
James Z. Neal, of Butler county, chair
man of the Democratic state executive
committee. will receive the Democratic
caucus nomination for the United States
senate. The honor is merely compli-
mentary form, of course, and is a rec
ignition Of the gentleman's services to
the party in the last campaign.
The latest developments indicate that
there will be contest for the speaker
ship nomination. Representative Price.
of Hooking county, has heretofore been
regarded as the only aspirant for the
empty honor. but it seems that Repre-
sentative Reiter, of Mon tgomery, is
also candidate.
Senators Nicolls, of Belmont; Lamp
son. of Ashtabula, and Carpenter, of
Fayette, are the Republican candidates
for president pro tempoye of the senate.
The caucus nomination is, of course,
equivalent 10 an election, and each can
didate appears to have equal chances.
Senators Geyer, OF Spaulding; Forbes,
OF Coshocton. and Shaw, of Auglaize,
are all mentioned for the Democratic
complimentary nomination.

TENNESSEE's ELEPHANT.
Convicts to Be Worked Under
Military Guard.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. l. - The
standing army of Tennessee, composed
Of 16S men, three months supplies,
gatling guns and regulating outfit, left
for tue mines last night ON a special
train under command of Brig. Gen.
Carnes and Adj. Gen. Norman.
The battalion will be swelled by
numbers until possibly $50 men are en-
listed when they reach the scene of
recent trouble. Three hundred con-
victs were on the train and will be put
to work in the mines again. The
stOckades have been rebuilt and ell
larged and the miners will have serious
opposition In reaching them if HOSTILE
ties are renewed.
Gen. CarneS and Norman are empow-
cred to make draft on the state for
volunteers in case serious trouble is
expected.
The opinion over the state is that
when the miners find what has been
done they will arm themselves and
sweep the handful of soldiers off the
earth. Of the 600 convicts who were in
the uprising at Briceville. Oliver
Springs and Collier, over $50 are still at
large. Special correspondents ac-
companied the troops in anticipation of
trouble.
Everything has been staggered lately
about the sensational charges that AS
siStant Commissioner of Labor Allemar,
state official. was guilty of nigh treason
against the state, crime punishable
only by hanging. 1t is charged that
Just before the uprising Of
the miners that Alleman went about
among them melting to the movement.
Alleman conferred personally with the
leaders of the big mob. and made
speeches to them. The matter came up
before the legislature in an informal
way, and resolution was introduced to
have an investigation ordered, but in
t1uence stopped this.
Alleman Is to be tried by court mar
tial unless Gov. Buchanan interferes.
Tennessee has become the laughing
stock Of her sister states on account Of
the weakness of Gov. Buchanan, who is
trembling in his shoes now for fear the
state troops will be attacked again.
Rumors reached here today that the
miners had heard of the coming of the
special train and conspired to wreck it
and release the convicts. This news
was sent to Gov. Buchanan, who notified
Gen. Norman, and every care will be
taken to prevent this.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1.-The contest
unexpectedly took sensational turn
late tonight when ex-Gox. Foraker
made a speech criticising the interfer-
ence of the national administration and
declaring for James G. Blaine for the
presidency. A delegation of several
hundred admirers of the ex-governor
marched TO the Neil house and after
cheering their candidate vociferously,
proceeded in body through the cor
ridors and up the stairs to the Foraker
headquarters. There were loud cries of
''speech. Speech" and the governor
gracefully responded to the invitation.
''My fellow Republicans" said he,
somebody said about three months
ago that he would not scramble for
reelection. Laughter. 1t is my i'm
preston that he has changed his mind
about it. [Laughter]. At least that Is
indicated by the presence in this city
tonight, not only of all the representa-
tives, by appointment, that hold office
within the borders of our state, but all
who can be commanded from all the
confines of the United States. We
