A TRAIN, BUT NO ENGINE.

Troutdale Ore, April 27.-The indus
trial army was very quiet today on ac-
count of the rain, but about p. m. they
were notified by friends in Portland, by
telephone. that freight train had left
there. They then made preparations to
move, and when an extra freight ar
rived the army was all on the track
ready to take the train. The train
pulled up to the station and did some
switching. Marshal Grady read an or
der from the court to the army and
asked them If they intended to take
this train. They answered, "Yes, we are
going to Washington. The engineer
then cut off his engine and pulled out
for Bridal Veil, leaving the army in pos
session of the train. The army is still
holding the train. but were very much
chagrined when 1t dawned on them that
they had been fooled. The train was
composed Of empty cars. Marshal Grady
went to Bridal Veil, and will there COM
municate with the department of JUS
tice before taking further steps. No
attempt will be made to dislodge the
army tonight.

Toluca, ILL.,. April 27.--The miners ar
rived at Toluca at a. m. today with
brass bands and drum corps. There
were nearly 5.4OO of them. The most of
the .colored miners that work here left

skirmish. The army from Streater and
Kangley arrived later. l. T. Gin, pres
ident, and ]. A. Crawford, with Vice
President James w. Murray, came in
on a special train. The miners were

after the funeral. A card is left and no
effort is made to see those who are In
sorrow. A. number Of women have
asked me II 1t is proper to send invita-

OF course one would not do this until
after a month had passed, but after
that time II is quite proper, and GER

AN HISTORIANS INvENTIoN.

j. o. Hanthom for some time past has
had an idea that he could improve on
the can washing machine that he pat
ented several years ago. and which is
now used by all the canneries on the
river, so last winter he set his think
tank a-going, and today, with the aid
of the machinists of Portland, who ren>
dered such assistance as he directed, he
has the results OF his thinking at work
in his cannery in the shape Of a ma
chine which washes cans at the rate Of
$4,000 in 10 hours. while the best record
Of the old one was 1900 in the same
length Of time
A reporter called at the cannery yes
terday and found that the washer had
been running all the morning. but on
account Of the scarcity Of fish, no cans
were being washed Mr.. Hanthorn,
however, was kind enough to start II
up He placed lot of cans on an end
less belt, which carried them to a feed
err where a couple OF automatic steel
fingers seemed to grab each can In its
turn and place 1t on disc. while an
other hand raised the disc 80 that II
pressed up against its mate above. and.
holding the can so tightly that not one
drop OF water could get into It, II was
carried on a revolving plane into the
machine and the sides OF the can thor
oughIy washed with spray Of warm
water. and It was then carried to the
discharging side. where the cans are
gathered up and carried to the man
who does the soldering. leaving the
sides Of the can as clean as when the
sheet tin left the original box.
Mr.. Hanthon is to be congratulated
on his invention. for not only win the
salmon packers appreciate its merits.
but 50 will packers Of all kinds Of fish,
meats and fruits

Tacoma, April 27-Every train on the
Northern Pacific leaving Seattle or Ia
coma is accompanied by deputy United

CvcIe RECORD smnsl,ed.

Boston, July H-J. P. Bliss, known
among cyclists as "Pinkey" Bliss, of Chi
cago, succeeded in lowering the records
for one mile, both standing and flying
start, at Waltham this afternoon. He
also broke the record for two-thirds and
three-auarters of a mile. The two latter
records We're smashed in the latter part
of the flying mile.
Nat Butler of Cambridge, was also sue
cessful in his onslaught in the one mile

2:01 2-5. F. NJ. Haggerty and c. G.. Will
liams. of Waltham, established a tandem
record for class A, riding the mile in
1:599i.
Bliss was paced by some of the best
riders in class B, that could be gotten
together. Berlo and Cutter, the two Bos-
ton riders, brought Bliss down to the
start like a whirlwind. Bliss chung to
the rear wheel of the tandem and seem
ed to be anchored there Brandt and Ed

hitch. The pacing on this lap was steady
but the pace was furious one and many
thought il would be too warm for Bliss,
but that plucky little man held right on
and swung down on the pole and froZe
to the third tandem, still riding steadily
and without a waver. The time for the
quarter was 2S1a, half, 80 3-5; two-thirds,
Ills 10; three-quarterS, 1:25; mile, 1:04 40.
In the trial for the standing start, mile

Brandt and Citizens and Lumsden on
tandems. The time for the quarters was

1:31 Is; and the mile 200 fiat. This broke
the previous record of 2:02 2-5 which was
held bpy Harry Tyler, of Springfield,
Mass, made on the Springfield track.
The other races were two invitation
events and the prizes were diamonds.
but taken all around there was not much
excitement in the scrambles.

Story About Mayor Hopkins De-
nounced Ry Him.

| Chicago, July 14.-"The story is false
from beginning to end, and I shall ask
General Mics at once to do me the JUS
tice of denying it, said Mayor Hop
klns today, referring to a report from
! Cincinnati to the effect that General
| Miles, before the state militia was
| called out, called on Mayor Hopkins
and asked if he intended doing his
duty and would call out the state mill

or answered that he should not mix up
in the matter, Whereupon General
Miles pulled out his watch and said
that he would give Mayor Hopkins
just thirty minutes in which to issue
instructions to his police and to call
out the militia, and that if he mayor
Hopkins refused to obey, he would de-
care tne CITY under martial law, and
arrest the mayor for conspiracy.

Dear Sir:-I have the honor to reply

as this comes to me in your letter 1

uonal and Think it unnecessary to de-
tail what parts are true and what are
not. l did not call upon the president
by long distance telephone l did not
say that l should declare martial law
or that l should place you under ar
rest or that Il had been instructed by
the president to take any such action
The substance of my remarks was to
apprise you OF the fact that the federal
forces under my command were here to
protect government property; to assist
the United States marshal and the
United States district attorney in the
execution Of their duties and in the
opening Of mail routes and the lines of
interstate commerce, and if required to
suppress any insurTection, that I as
suned and knew the authorities in

the extent of their power, preserve the
public peace and order in this city and
state. 1 stated should they be over
powered in so doing. that 1 would rend-

working through the ice on strong
breeze. The Horatio and the Abram Bar
Der were together. Naturally, in work
ing through the ice the vessels encoun-
tered more or less of 1t. We did not hit
the ice hard enough to stove in the
ship, but some times il is hard to tell
what the result will be. We went through
several drifts of heavy ice and were
working through the ice all that night.
In the marning about 4:30 o'clock we
started the pumps the same as usual.
and were startled to find ten feet of
water in the hold. We took off the scut-
tie down in the cabin, and the water
provisions were under water and our
supply of fresh water was spoiled. We
signalled at once to the Horatio and she
came down to our assistance
Some of the crew came aboard and we
started up the pumps TO their full ca
pacity.. We pumped till 1880, and gained
time. Then our steam pump gave out
and the water. gained rapidly on US.
'Under the circumstances it was DEEM
ed advisable to hold a survey, and we
sold the ship right then and there. We
took our personal effects and went
