PROF. ELY ATTACKED.
Supt. Wells Writes a Sensational
Communication to the New
York Evening Post.

New York, July 16.-Under the cap
ton, THE College Anarchist" the Even
ing Post publishes a communication
which is likely to create a sensation. 1t
is signed by Oliver e. Wells, Wisconsin
superintendent of public instruction, and
the college anarchist to whom it refers
is no less a parsonage than Prof. Ely,
director of the school of economies, poiiti-
cal science and history, in the University
of Wisconsin. Supt. Wells gives what
purports to be history of interference
by Prof. Ely on behalf of the union
printers on the occasion of a strike in the
office of the Madison Democrat a year
ago, and alleges that he boycotted the
Democrat office by withdrawing, from it
the printing of a magazine of which he
was the conductor.
In an editorial article a column in
length referring to the communication,
the Post says: 1T is very remarkable
revelation, and naturally prompts one to
inquire if the University of Wisconsin is
content with a teacher of youth who is
capable of such performances A few
years ago Prof. Ely sent. forth his plati
tudes on socialism, ethics and labor from
Johns Hopkins university, but that insti
tuition was able to spare him when he de-
sired to extend his usefulness over the
wider field of the boundless West. He

TWO BRIDGES DYNAMITED.
Citizens of Oklahoma IncenSed at
the Officials OF the Rock
Island Road

Guthrie, o. r., July 1.-THE people
Of Enid and Pond Creek, feeling that
their last peaceful resort was gone, have
arisen in arms and are attempting by
force to secure recognition of their towns
~ the Rock Island Railway company.
The first news of the trouble reached
here just before noon in a dispatch to-
Gov. Renfrow from Division Manager
Low of the Rock Island railway. stating
that at 4 % this morning bridge No. o11S+
three and half miles south OF Enid, was
blown up, completely wrecking the bridge,
and that a freight train of thirteen cars
went down with the bridge. Three men
were killed and several injured. Late III
the afternoon he received dispatch from
Round Pond stating that an eighty-foot
bridge north of there had been blown up
with two charges Of dynamite.
Gov. Renfrow is at Asbury Park on a
vacation and Acting Gov. L. j. Lowe has
called out the troops at Ell Reno and or
dered them to the scene of the trouble at
once.
There has been trouble. between the
Rock Island and South Enid and Pond

strip. last September. South Enid and
Pond Creek are government town sites,
while North Enid and Round Pond, each
of which is located within two miles of II
government town. belong to the railroad.
The Rock Island people will not stop at
the government towns, one of which has,
a population of 1000 and the other Of
1000, but only have depots at their own
town sites. This has produced much
trouble between the government towns,
and the road.

MINERS WRECK A TRAIN.
Engineer and Fireman Crushed to
Death Under Il Derailed
EnDine

indianapolis, Ind, July 13.-The min
ers of Fontanet, Il station on the Big
-Four, few miles west of Terre Haute,
this morning added murder to their crime
of stopping trains and attempted lynch
ings. An engineer and fireman, who
had nothing to do with the strike, We're
mangled to death under the wrecked en-
CINE of a derailed train. The victims
are Engineer Charles Mohrman and Fire
man Charles Fleick. The train wrecked
was No on the st. Louis division, which
left indianapolis last night on time. The
train was running forty-five miles an
hour and struck an open switch and went
down an embankment about eight feet
high. The engineer and fireman are I'M
der the wreck, ground to pieces. The en-
CINE, baggage car. express car and the
day coach are piled in the ditch, a broken
mass. The wreck is undoubtedly the
work of lawless mob of miners that
possessed Fontanet all day yesterday and
stopped and sidetracked FIVE Big -Four
freight trains to show their sympathy for
the railroad strikers. The trouble was so
threatening that Sheriff Stout of Vigo
county and several deputies went to Fon-
tanet yesterday afternoon. No passen-
gers were seriously injured.

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL.
Labor Leader Phelan Receives Sen
tence for Contempt of
Court.

Cincinnati, O., July 13.-Judge Taft of
the United States court found Labor
Leader Phelan guilty of contempt of court
and sentenced him to six months impris-
onment in the Warren county jail at Leb-
anon, o.
The judge reviewed it at great length
and the testimony which he declared
showed Enthusiastically that PhelaE came
here as the agent and coworker with
Debs to institute and direct boycott in
order to compel the Pullman company to
treat with it's employees, who, it appears,
are not eligible to membership in the A.
II. u. Phelan's denial of personal agency
had no weight with the court. owing to
the evasive and fiippant nature of his
testimony and in the fact of the kilograms
passing between him and Debs as well
as his public utterances. He knew the
Cincinnati Southern road was in the
hands of a receiver, and yet his first eff
forts were directed against it. The court
found that he was the active agent here
in an unlawful conspiracy with Debs
and others to paralyZe the business of
the United States or in other words to
starve the nation in order to force an en-
plOyer into terms.
The Judge having found Phelan guilty
rs charged, said in reference to the SEN
tence that it was the duty of the court
to enforce obedience to its orders. TO do
otherwise would court anarchy. The
sentence was confinement for six months
in the Warren county Jail at Lebanon,
O., and the marshal was directed to i'm
mediately execute the order Of the court.

MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
THE Conference Committees Work
on the Mangled Remains of
the Wilson Bill.

New York, July 14.-Thc tariff con-
ference has now advanced to such stage
that II is impossible longer for the con-
ference to keep the main features of their
work from their congressional associates.
Much that has been definitely accom-
plished has reached senator's and men,
hers not on the committee, nor IL the,
0rm of rumors and reports but rs &C.
omplished facts AS thus considered,
re chief features on which the conferees
ave come together are as follows:
Pottery rates, increased 5 per cent,
making the rates those OF the House in
stead of the Senate amendments, the Sen
ate having reduced them >,
rates, the action in this case being the
reserve of that on pottery for reasons
hereafter stated.
The cotton schedule has been scaled
down about per cent. from the Senate
rates.
brought down a considerable per cent,
making it more in accordance with the
House rates.
The tobacco schedule has been brought
to the House rate on the important item
of wrappers, the rate being 81 instead Of
the Senate rates of $1.5O and NO.
The metal schedule has not been materi-
olly changed from the rates fixed by the
Senate.
Neither iron nor coal has been carried
back to the free list as in the House bill,
and. while the decision is not final, there
is every reason to believe that the Senate
rate of 40 cents per ton on each WIFE
stand.
The income tax has not yet been passed,
but there is little disagreement except on
the one item of limiting the tax to live
wears. and the conferees have not yet
come together.
The issue between ad valorem and spe-
cific rates thus far has not resulted In as
much as a return to the House al valo-
rem rates as was expected, as it has been
found in some cases the ad valorem
rates were greatly in excess OF the spe-
cific.
The whisky schedule has been source
of determined contest for two days, the
main effort being to secure a compromise
on the basis of 81 per gallon and an eX-
tension of the bonding period to five years.
This is resisted on the ground that while
it is an apparent increase of 10 cents in
he tax it will in fact yield the govern
tent no additional revenue.
1t is quite definitely settled that lead
ore is to remain at. three-quarters of a.
cent per pound, as fixed by the Senate
bill ~~,@'s ts.,~r
The House conferees are willing to
grant an extension of two years over the.
time fixed by the House bill for the bond
ed period of whisky, but the senators are
holding out for the entire period of eight
years and for the full 20 cents a gallon
increase of the tax.

The Columbian university has excep-

affairs that is exactly reversed with the
Chicago university. The Columbian uni

Baptist college and always has been dom

ceased all save secular functions. 1t is
proposed to make the religious feature
more prominent in the belief that this
would enlist the support of the wealthy
contributors of the Chicago university.

FRAUDS UNEARTHFD AT DULUTH.
Claim that the City was Swindled Out of
$4,000.

Duluth, Mimi, July 16.-Frauds in the
construction of public work in that part
Of the city which was up to the first of
this year West Duluth have been un
earthed by which it is plain that the city
will lose at least $4,000 The city en-
gneer estimates this amount will be re-
quired to put the work in the condition
it was supposed to be in at the time it
was paid for. Since this work was done
West Duluth has become part of the
under which it came the entire city is re-
sponsible for it's debts, including over
100000 in improvement certificates.
Many of these certificates are for the
work now shown to have been fraudu-
lent. City inspectors and contractors
will probably be indicted.

today from Corn island, the spot which
is said to have been SO much coveted by
England. say that serious encounter has
taken place there between the British
subjects resident of the island and the
Nicaraguan troops. The British. it is
added. defeated the Nicaraguan soldiers
and caused the governor of Corn island to
fly to the forest for refuge. The British
it also appears. seized upon the Nicara'
guam government offices and upon the
Nicaraguan flags. This so enraged the
natives that they sought for and obtained
arms and succeeded in restoring the gov
ernor. Several were wounded on both
sides in the encounters which have taken
place Martial law has been proclaimed
