what is Thought About the Trans
continental Lines.

OMAHA, September 17.-E L. Lamax
general passenger agent Of the Union
Pacific, who has just returned from foul
days meeting of the transcontinental asso.
citation said: "There is a great deal of un-
rest among the passenger associations and
the situation begins to look ugly. / have
no doubt that the transcontinental is a
thing of the past and yet the roads remain
ing may form pool against those that are
out, but that is hardly possible. Should
the Northern Pacific follow the course of
the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific,
presume the Union Pacific would be COM
PEELED to do likewise as matter of self in
terest."
"We are not looking for trouble, but are
compelled to be on the safe side when it
does Overtake us. l am firm advocate of
the pool l believe the interstate commerce
commission is largely Of that mind. With
the pool, the smaller or differential roads
get as much protection as the larger ones,
and there is a great deal more harmony
than under the,present arrangement ffOrm-
ing roads in district into associations
with equal powers"
But the unrest is not confined alone to
the transcontinental association. The
Burlington has given notice Of its with
draWal from the Western Traffic associa-
ton which means that other roads will
follow and that the collapse of the associa-
tiOn is entirely DrOhable ~

on Condition that Competing e
Race Track be Closed Statement
of Justice WO0dman.
CHICAGO September 1.-THE alleged
offer of fifty thousand dollars to Chief of
Police McClaughrey by the representatives
of the race track for the political campaign
fund, if the rival track at Garfield Park
was suppressed, had a counter briberyIsen-
sation today with Garfield as the alleged
bribe offer. Justice Charles Woodman in
open court declared that NJ. @, Mcdonald,
one of the heavy stockholders in the Gar
field track, had called at his home, asking
him to dismiss the case against the people
arrested in the police raid Of Garfield.
Mcdonald, according to the justice,
spoke of using his influence in certain po-
litical contingencies to have Woodman re-
appointed and on departing handed the
justice roll of currency in dark hall way
with the remark: Il owe you some
money" Thenmagistrate, assuming that
it was the balance due on bail bonds, took
it, but on entering the lighted parlor after
Mcdonald had gone, found it was roll Of
$500. After making this statement in
court Woodman asked if Mcdonald was
present and receiving no response, handed
over the $500 to Police Inspector Lewis.
Justice Woodman then announced his
decision, imposing fines varying from 500
down to So. Mcdonald is one of the most
widely known men in the sporting world,
and in view of the tragicaI results of the
police raids, the dramatic contradictions
under oath by Mayor Washburne and Chief
McClaughrey, the dragging in of the ques-
tion of politics and the highly-wrought an
tagonism of the church-going people in the
western division of the city against the
racing and gambling affair, Is causing no
end of comment Mcdonald emphatically
denies WoOdman's statement.

Pia Hotel Crowded During the
Past Three Days,
Onacccount Of the rush of business COM
ing in at the last moment, Professor Sew
ard finds lit will be impossible to leave
Olympia before next week. A large num-
Der have sent word asking for an appoint
ment before leaving the city, among whom
are several leading physicians. Professor
Seward has decided to grant this request,
as it will be many years before he will be
able to revisit this coast. The medical
fraternity, three of whom called yesterday
and bad glasses adjusted, are now endors-
ing Professor Stewards work. Seven letters
have been received from ladies and gentle
men in Olympia, stating that headaches of
long standing have been entirely cured by
the glasses adjusted by Professor Seward
since his arrival in Olympia. No doubt
there are many more who have not taken
the trouble to acknowledge the result.
Where the work has been completed and
paid for there has not been a single case of
dissatisfaction reported
Professor Seward has refused to adjust
glasses to several parties in Olympia be-
cause glasses would be of no benefit in all
such cases. No money has been accepted
for advice and opinion. In order to accom-
modate the many who have expressed a
desire to have glasses adjusted before he
leaves, Professor Seward has decided to re-
main few days longer.

Alvin Lent is Determined to Find
OIneY's Body.
W. H. Martin, who left last night on the
steamer Willie, for Dofilemeyer's point, to
recover the oar belonging to the outrigger
used by Olney Monday, stayed over night
at Carpenters house and returned this
morning, with the oar. It proved to be
the one wanted. Alvin Lent had made
arrangements to drag the bay this morn
ing at low tide, but nobody came to help
him. -Four men are needed - two in
each boat - to drag the wire through
the water. Another effort will be made
tomorrow morning to get somebody to
go out. The generally accepted opinion
now is that Olney is dead and that his
body is in the bay. If that is the case, the
body will come to the surface inside Of
four days.
Mrs. Olney is nearly distracted and NAV
start for Olympia in spite of the efforts Of
her friends to prevent her from doing so.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Report of an Attempt ON Governor
Flowers Life.

New YORK, September 1.-THE life of
Governor Flower has been threatened by
an Internal machine sent him at the Winter
hotel couple of days ago. The police Of
icials are very reticent over the affair, but
a large number of detectives are working
on the case. Tie box was sent to Govern
or Flower by mail but, he being absent, it
was not touched for a couple of days.
When the wrapper was taken off the box it
was such queer cOntr1vance that it was
deemed best to turn it over to the police.
The inspector, after soaking the box in
water for two hours, raised the lid and dis
covered within, a cigar box filled with
giant powder and Matches so arranged
that if the box were opened under ordinary
circumstances il would have exploded. The
deadly machine contained enough giant
powder to have blown the governor into
eternity. 1t is said that letter was re-
ceiYed by Flower before the package was
left at the hotel, warning him to be careful
if he received a box, and implying that an
attempt would be made on his life. This
aroused suspicion when the box was re-
ceived. There was great activity at the de-
tectiYe bureau this morning.
The inspector would not admit any
thing in connection with the Internal ma
chine. He claimed the box contained
nothing but seed oysters, hence no mys-
terry was connected with it.

EMPIRE CITY, Ore, September 1.-THE
tug Hunter has just returned from the
wrecked whaleback steamer c. W. Wet
more and reported that they have had all
the pumps available at work all day with
out effect. The water rises and falls with
the tide. About 100 old coal miners have
been there and succeeded in unloading
only a very small quantity Of the coal. Mr..
Grithths, the manager, says that they will
do nothing more until instructions are re-
ceived from the owners. Mr.. Griffiths says
that they cannot locate the leaks.
EMPIRE CITY, Ore, September 17.-Cap-
tain O'Brien came ashore today from the
WetmOre, having been on board the wreck
since Monday. Yesterday the crew of sew
enty-five men worked at throwing over
board the coal, and succeeded in discharg-
ing about 800 tons. Twenty men were
worked at the pumps, but there was no
perceptible gain on the water in the hull.
1t is said that the Wetmore has bad leak,
and this statement is supported by the fact
that the water comes in and out as the tide
ebbs and flows.

WAR IN KENTUCKY,

Negroes Armed With Winchesters Attack
the Paducah Jail-The Militia Return
the Fire and Then Both Sides Run-On!y
One Man Killed.
PADUCAH, KY, July 12.-About 300
negroes, armed with Winchester rifles, con-
gregated in the vicinity of the jail last
night about 9 o'clock, prepared for an
attack. Every able-bodied man was soon
on the streets, and everybody was armed.
The Sheriff took charge of posse, composed
Of 75 men, armed with shotguns. The
underlying cause of the uprising was the
hanging of Charles Hill, the negro who
made an assault upon lydia Starr some
weeks ago. The immediate cause of the
outbreak was the arrest of colored man
named Thomas Burgess, and who, they
feared, was about to be lynched for theft.
At midnight IS negroes suddenly ap-
peared and opened fire upon the men col
lected at the jail. At the first fire Emer
Edwards, about 20 years of age, fell, shot
through the abdomen. He died this FORE
noon. The fire was returned by the militia
and the armed citizens, and the negroes beat
hasty retreat. The militia also retreated
in disorder back of the Court House, where
they kept firing until the negroes had dis
appeared down the street. 1t is thought
that some of the negroes are wounded.
1t was then determined to make no effort
to depose the negroes until morning, and
since daylight no report has been received.
1t is believed the negroes separated just be-
fore day. A few were taken into custody,
when found by officers. Further trouble is
expected tonight. The Governor has not
ordered out any troops. Ifthe negroes con-
gregate at the Jail again tonight these is
liable to be bloody clssh.
