Debs and Howard Discuss the Situation
But Refuse to Arbitate.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 1.-At the meeting
of the Minneapolis and st. Paul citi-
zens' committee at the Minneapolis
Commercial club no conclusion was
reached, but there was some pretty in
teresting talk. The latest proposition
is on the part of Debs and Howard, who
were at the meeting, and was to the eff
feet that the executive committe of the
strikers would be willing to argue the
matter with President Hill at any pub
lie mass meeting in the Twin Cities and
then let the" public hear for itself the
different sides of the question directly
from the lips of the men most vitality
interested. AS to submitting the ques-
ton to any other form of arbitration,
the representatives of the strikers stood
firm against it.
The session was an executive one and
must either have been highly interest,"
ing or very important, for it lasted
nearly two hours. At the close of the
meeting, Chairman G. A. Pillsbury
stated that the committee had now u
thorough understanding of the side of
question presented by the men and that
the next move would be to see President
Hill of the Great Northern.

KELLY'S ARMY GROWING.

ton by the laboring classes of the &C.
lions of the city authorities in the hand
ling of the industrial army and the con-
tinued growth of sentiment favorable to
Kelly keeps the city in state of tur-
MOL. Kelly declared that he would not
walk out of town and said he expected
to have train Wednesday. His army
grew very rapidly during the day.
Bands of men came in from all direc-
tons and l, 575 reported for rations at
night. More are coming all the time
and Kelly expects to lead 1900 men to
Chicago. The city has kept it's promise
to furnish Tut one days provisions, but
the citizens committee sent out six
wagon loads during the evening and say
there is sufficient food promised to keep
the army week. AS revenge for the
slight it received from Mayor Hills the
citizens committee has been busy all
day developing sentiment for Kelly,
with results anything but satisfactory
to the authorities.

SOLDIERS At SPOKANE.

Regulars to Keep Order Among Com
mOnwealers.
SPOKANE, WASH, May 1.-Spokaners
were considerably surprised during the
morning to find train load of real
United States soldiers pulling into the
Northern Pacific depot. A,out 15j
troopers of the Fourth infantry from
Fort Sherman constituted the party.
United States Marshal Drake of Tacoma
wired the authorities at Fort Sherman
for troops to assist him in preserving
order at Puyallup, where 1000 conl-
monwealers have camped. Military Of
6cers will divulge no inform alton as to
the destination. and the train is now
sidetracked here awaiting orders. 1t is
thought likely that the troops will re-
main here and prevent the passage OF
any train which may contain common
wealers. The local commonwealers
now number 400, and intend starting
east soon.

AT DEVILS LAKE.

Citizens Indignant ut the Call for United
states Troops
DEVILS LAKE, N. D., May 1.-Press
dispatches announcing that Marshal
Cronan has called for United States
troops are received here with mingled
amusement and indignation-amuse-
ment at the ludicrous aspect, indigna-
ton at the slur cast upon the state and
citizens. No necessity exists for calling
out single soldier. The strikers here
are mostly heads of families, owners of
property and good, law abiding citizens.
Farmers here offer provisions and sup
plies for the strikers if necessary. One
farmer said he had three fat steers to
kill should supplies run short.
Press reports about trains leaving for
the coast are untrue. Not a single train
has lett Minot since the strike occurred.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.


1he National Capitol Guarded by an
Extra Force Of Police.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-Visible evil
dences of preparation for the Coxeyites
who arrived in Washington, Sunday
were to be seen about the halls and cor
ridors of congress, but every thing had
been done so quietly that the same
serenity prevailed as that of an ordinary
day. A double force of officers was ON
duty. Captain Garden and Lieutenant
Watkins having charge of the senate
end, and Lieutenant Burns being in
charge at the house end. The double
force of privates gave men for all the
entrances to the Capitol, and for the
main assembling points. Two men were
in the main rotunda. Each of the main
doors and the basement entrances had
an officer. The Hobbies surrounding the
senate and house were patrolled
by officers. The halls giving
ingress to the congressional gal
leries were also patrolled. Each
man had his post and was expected to
remain there unless called to assemble
by whistle. Officers were courteous
to the officers and sightseers who
thronged the halls. There were no rough
characters in the crowd. The people
came and went with the same freedom
as usual, and the extra officers de-
meaned themselves so quietly as to pass
almost unnoticed.
All main approaches and entrances
to the Capitol were open as usual, ex-
cept some of the obscure entrances in
the ub-basement. These were closed,
not as means of precautiou. but in
| order to allow officers to be utilized at
other points. The doorkeepers in these
galleries were giving seats to all COM
ers. but with the purpose of keeping
the seats no more than comfortably
filled, without crowding the aisles and
doorways.

F. r. STOCKBRIDGE. ~
to visit the California fair. It was
their intention to spend day or two at
the home of their nephew and then
start for the West. The senator, how
ever, on the day he and Mrs. Stock
bridge were preparing to leave for Cali
fornia, was suddenly attacked with
stomach trouble and later suffered with
acute pains near the heart. His condi-
ton at no time was considered serious,
hut he was confined to his bed for day
or two, and lost so much strength be-
cause Of his inability to retain food,
that he decided to abandon his trip to
California and return to his Michigan
home as soon as his condition
Would Permit Him to Travel.
Last evening at o'clock the senator
was left alone in his room with nurse,
the other members Of the household
being at dinner. At about 1880 the
senator arose from his chair to walk
across the room, when he was suddenly
attacked with pains in his left side. He
made no outcry, but with his hands
clasped over his heart and his face
showing that he was suffering intense
pain he hastily returned to his chair.
The nurse at once called the family
from the diningroom, and Mrs. Stock
bridge, Mr.. and Mrs. Houteling were
quickly at his side. Within few Sec
onds after they reached him the senator
became unconscious and sank rapidly.
Physicians were hastily summoned and
restoratives were applied, but it was of
no avail, the senator sank rapidly and
in very short time breathed his last.
While he has been very i'll it was at no
time thought that his condition was
dangerous, and his death was entirely
unlocked for. A combination of heart
and stomach trouble was announced as
the cause of death.

perhaps, 20 the hour at which the train
reached here, there was no demonstra-
ton of any sort. A guard was thrown
out. surrounding the train on it's arrival,
and the only sound heard for the re-
mainder of the night was the pacing of
the infantrymen outside.
The entire lody went into camp at
Grand Forks, and it was announced
that this would be the base of opera
lions for the present. The seat Of
trouble in North Dakota is Devils Lake,
where Marshal Cronan has been having
q serious time. It assistance is needed
there company will be sent at once at
the request of the marshal.
Can't Get q Crew.
The pile driver, with crew of bridge
builders and trainmen, was to leave at
2 o'clock for point 200 miles beyond
Minot, where bridges have been de-
stroyed. There is the greatest difficulty
in getting crew to go, and even after
the complement had been filled half the
men backed out, declaring that to make
the run is as much as their lives are
worth. Major Patterson has offered to
clear the mobs away from the tracks
here, but even that does not seem to
satisfy the employees. They assert that
to run out this train will make them
marked men, even if the tracks have
not been tempered with.
The entire double crew of the special
engineers, fremen and brakemen-
have quit their train. The engine has
been backed down into the yards and
the fire dumped. The troops are in a
pocket. The only way they can get
from this point to Devils Lake OF
Minot at present is by march.

ST. PAUL, May 1T has been one of
the quietest days so far in the present
Great Northern strike, and was prac-
tically uneventful. The situation pre-
sented some curious phases. The COM
pany's sentiment was that the strike
will soon be over, and that it will in the
end be proved to have won signal vic

that shall soon set all things to working

. FRANK HATTON DEAD.

The Editor of the Washington Post a Vic
tim of Paralysis.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Frank Hatton,
late editor of the Washington Post, died
at $3.50 p. M. Less than week ago Mr..
Hatton, who apparently had been in
good health, was suddenly stricken with
paralysis, while working alone at his
desk. With great difficulty, for his
speech was impaired by the attack, he
succeeded in summoning assistance, and
was at once removed to his home. The
gravity of the case was fully realized
by his friends, but some intervals of
consciousness and signs of rallying gave
hopes that he might still recover. The
last fatal change was manifest during
the morning, when the dread symptoms
of Brights disease appeared. There
was no pain because the faculties were
deadened by the destroying agent, and
at 4:30 o'clock, unconsc ious of the pres
ence of his wife and son, and in spite of
all that medical aid could accomplish,
Mr.. Hatton expired. The details Of the
funeral arrangements have not yet been
fully completed, but it is decided that
tho interment will be in Rock Creek
cemetery on Thursday.
His Career In Brief.
Frank Hatton was born in Cam
bridge, O., April 2S, 1916. At the out
break Of the war of the rebellion he en-
listed in the Nineteenth Ohio infantry
and in 1864 was commissioned first
lieutenant. When the war came to a
close Mr.. Hatton, in the town of Mount
Pleasant, Ia, edited The Journal from
1869 to 1874 and then removed to Bur-
lington, a., where he purchased con-
trolling interest in The Hawkeye, his
partner Icing Robert J. Burdette, the
humorist.
MIR. Hatton's first federal Office was
that Of postmaster at Burlington for
some years prior to 1881, when Presi-
dent Arthur appointed him assistant
postmaster general. In that capac-
ity he served from October, 1881,
until October, 1884, when the retire.
ment Of Judge Gresham from the Office
of postmaster general brought about
Mr.. Hatton's promotion to a seat in the
cabinet. He continued to be postmas-
ter general until the close Of General
Arthu1's administration. In the sum-
mer of 1855 he removed to Chicago and
became editor-in-chief of the Chicago
Mail. In 1883 Mr.. Hatton returned to
Washington and, in partnership with
Beriah Wilkins, purchased the Wash
ington Post, of which he has been ed.
| itor-in-chief ever since.
