about by bogus telegram which had been
intended as joke. Judge Morrison declined
the nomination this account, which
necessitated the second convention, when
he was chosen without opposition, Mt.
Marshall himself making the nominating
speech.
1t had been expected all along that Gen.
Walker would make splendid run for Con-
gress. Although republican, Gen. Walker
Is very popular with all classes, and is be-
loved by confederate soldiers for his gal
lantry in the late war. He Is making his
fight on protective tariff and free silver.
A Triangular Fight.
Representative Harry Tucker of the tenth
district is opposed both by candidates Of
the republicans and populists. The former
are represented in the person of Jacob Yost
Of Staunton, and the latter by Edmund r.
Cooke of Cumberland, who was the populist
candidate for governor last fall No fears
are enterta ined by the democratic leaders
about Tucker. They say that he will win
by his usual majority. Yost, however, is
making vigorous tight, and will receive a
large vote. Capt Cooke is a man of digni-
fled bearing and splendid gentleman, but
it Is not believed by his friends that when he
allowed his name to be used in the contest
that he had many hopes of being success
full.
One of the most interesting facts brought
out by the congressional canvass SO far is
the fact that Gen. VIM. Malone is no longer
regarded or obeyed by those who were once
pleased to follow him His edict that no
nominations should be made by republicans
in Virginia seems to have had no weight.

Robert w. Black and Harry Bacon, both
of Oklahoma territory, today filed a bill ia
equity against David NJ. Ross, his wife
josephine, Mahlon Ashford and Adds b.
Browne trustees. and the American Security
and Trust Company. The object of the bill
is TO secure, a discovery and accounting and
the disposition of certain. real estate pur-
chased by Ross. The suit grows out of the
employment of Ross by the complainants to

which was known as the Choctaw claim
Tha accomplishments claim that Ross collected
$to.UU. of which he was to have one third
for his services. the remainder to be equally
divided between the complainants. The
latter assert that Ross has paid them but
$500 each, and refuses to account to them
for the remainder. August Is 1888, they
allege that he purchased from Kennedy and
Davis sub lot Il5. square 49, for 81, 800 the
deed being made in the name of bis wife
To secure the American Security and Trust
Company he gave deed OF trust to Messrs
Ashford and Browne on the same for $1,000
The property is stated to be worth $1,000
end the compliments ask that Mrs Ross
hold the same fer their use and benefit; that
Ross may be required TO account for the
sum received by him from the government,
and that he may be decreed to pay them

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, September IL
Mayor Woodward Of Superior and Gov
Peck seem to be working at cross. pur-
poses in fire relief matters. AS near as
can be ascertained the governor refers
to temporary relief in reference to Wis
consin sufferers, while the mayor refers
to permanent relief for all fire sufferers
Mayor Woodward received the following
telegram from the governor yesterday in
reply to his query asking IL he had in
vestigated the needs of sufferers in this
section. and If so. what steps would be
taken. He says:
Il am investigating all places where the
fires caused suffering. 1 have received no
call for relief from West Superior, and it
seems to me strange that a call would. be
made to the mayor of New York, when
our people of Wisconsin were doing so
much to alleviate suffering. Ii there is
anything particular that you need, and
have not yet received, to care for those
that are suffering, wire me Immediately at
Milwaukee. and 1 will send you a carload.
The pride of the people Of Wisconsin is at
stake In this matter and know that they
would be willing to raise hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to help their neighbors
rather than hold out their hands for char
ity to people who are thousands of miles
away. 1 shall be In the northern part of
the state within few days and invest;-
sible. In the meantime wire me full par
ticulars of your needs.

The Car and His Two Eldest Sons In
Very PrecnriOus Health.

Very PrecOrtOuB Health.
Rumors concerning the condition OF the
cars health have been In circulation for
some months. Nothing was said about his
majestys appearance on the occasion of
the recent marriage Of his daughter, the
Grand Duchess Xenia, but a few days
later. at the launch OF an ironciad, he was
reported to be looking pale, worn and thin.
Soon aftcrward 1t was announced that the
car was going to the Bjeloweshk forest
and to Spala for a period Of uninterrupted
rest and to recruit his strength. which was
suffering from the effects Of overwork. This
statement was made on the authority Of
Professor Zakharin. the emperor's private
physician.
The health of the czarowitz also Is far
from being satisfactory, and this has been
one OF the reasons why his marriage to the
Princess AliX of Hesse, originally fixed for
August 3. was postponed to September 20
and has now been again put of without a
new date being fixed. The Grand Duke
George, second son Of the car. has long
been an invalid. and on several occasions
his life was despaired Of. After spending a
winter on the Riviera he was sent to the
Caucasus, where he has resided for the past
two years. but 1T is reported that his health
has not been greatly benefited. He is suf-
ferinS with lung trouble, and his case is be-
lieved to be incurable. As it was decided
by his physicians that the climate of ST.
Petersburg was unsuited to his complaint
his return there at this season of the year
is very cIgnifCant. He is twenty-three
years of age.
besides the czarcwitz and the Grand Duke
George, the car has one other son, the
Grand Duke Michael. who was born in 1873

~ MISsISsIPPPs WARRANTS.
Prosecution of the State Omcer. Be


''' H'.' o. gum.
Mississppi's right to issue warrants OF
bonds to its people in small amounts will
be soon tested In the courts. The state
officials have been arrested, charged with
feloniously Issuing money in the semblance
of United States notes.
This litigation, which has been brewing
for nearly three months, promises to be OF
national importance. Its decision, when
1t reaches the United States Supreme Court,
where it is bound to go in time, may knock
out the 10 per cent tax imposed upon state
banks. For the question which Will come
to the front will be the right of the state
not only to issue bonds and warrants but
even money itself.
The Warrants Authorized.
The Mississippi legislature met in special
session last January and on the last nigh,
of the term. which is limited to thirty days
bill was passed authorizing the state
treasurer to prepare and sell bonds Of the
state to an aggregate not exceeding 500, OO0
TO defray current expenses. The word
bonds" was afterward changed to war
rants. This issue was necessitated by q
decrease in the revenues of the state
1t was In June last that $4,000 of these
warrants, In denominations of s., SO and
so. were received from the st. Louis Bank
to engrave them.
Looked Like Grcenbacks
The new warrants bore q likeness to
United States greenback notes. The Wig
nette of Gov. Stone appeared In the left
hand corner. while the note went on to
state that 1t was redeemabIe at the state
treasury on January 1, 1896. and would
bear a rate of per cent interest
1t was In this juncture that Chief Hazen
Of the secret service division Of the Treas
ury Department wrote Gov. Stone that he
was intrenching upon the prerogatives of
the Treasury Department, and demanding
the surrender of the plates and the war
rants still In his possession. To this Gov
Stone replied that the state knew its rights
and was prepared to defend them.
The Prosecution.
The United States proceeds against these
officials as individuals, ignoring their off,
cial positions. On the trial. however, these
gentlemen will set up the right Of the state
to issue warrants. and the question may
grow even wider and embrace the right of
the state to issue money, regardless of the
10 per cent tax. Gov. Stone said last night:
Il had no purpose to violate any United
States law, and l do not believe such law
has been violated. The matter will come
before court in which 1 have the utmost
confidence. 1 therefore do not care to dis
cuss the matter"

They Refused to Let the Military Use
the Wires.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, September IL
The Examiner says: Benjamin Shearer.
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
office at Reno, New, and his corps Of as
sistants have been dismissed from the serv-
ice at the instigation of the War Depart
ment of the United States. He and his
operators were at the same time indirectly
charged with conspiracy, but after the dis
missals the charges were not pressed.
During the recent strike of the American
Railway Union, in which the regular army
took prominent part, corps from Utah
was stationed at Reno for the alleged pur-
pose of protecting the railway companies
property.
Some moves Of the troops were to be
made, and Adjutant Bowin, who was In
charge Of the signal corps Of the detach-
ment, was obliged to telegraph for instruc-
lions. He marched his corps up : to the
telegraph office and demanded that Shearer
and his operators vacate The office. while
he, with the operators connected with his
command. asked for and received the neces-
sary instructions over the wires from head
quarters. Shearer refusedft to leave the Of
flee. He considered that he and his men
were perfectly able to conduct the business
Of the office, and the rules Of he company
were that none but employees OF the office
should have access to the wires.
The adjutant, in his military way, could
not quite understand the position taken by
the telegraph manager; yet he was obliged
to file his messages IN the ordinary way.
He complained to his superlors of the re-
fusal to let him use the wires, and in the
complaint he alleged that Shearer and his
operators were in sympathy with the
strikers and acquainted them with all tele-
graphic messages concerning the movement
Of the troops.
The complaint was sent on to the War
Department in Washington, and from there
fnr I<Al tNH No., tv,xy
CATION Gen. Kruger in turn sent a copy Of
the complaint to Frank Jaynes, Pacific
coast superintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, who in turn dis
stopped all further proceedings as far as
the charge of conSpiracY was concerned.

TO IMPROVE THE ALASKANS.
A Colony of Lnplanders to De Estab-
Hshcd.

MADISON, Wis, September 11.--Word has
been received here Of the safe arrival at
Port Clarence, Alaska, of William Chell-
mann of this city and his party of Lap
lander Esquimaux. Last year he was COM
missioned by the Alaskan commissioner of
education at Washington, Sheldon Jackson,
to go to Lapland for the purpose of bring
ing colony of the natives to the American
arctic dominion with the view of teaching
the less civilized Alaskans the domestic
arts of northern Europe, where the rein
deer Is bred and made of great commercial
value
Hitherto the Alaskan EsQuimaux have
been totally destitute of this source of
wealth and ignorant of the methods of the
natives of like ATTITUDES in the eastern
hemisphere. The fourteen families which
have now been colonized under the direction
Of Mr.. Chellmann will try to instruct the
American subjects in the culture and uses
Of the reindeer and thereby increase their
sources of wealth and, If possible, improve
their social and Intellectual condition.

FIRED BLANK CARTRIDGES.
Report of nm Outrage on an American
Steamer Silenced.

VICTORIA, B. c., September 11.-Whiie
her majesty's steamship Hyacinthe was on
the way to Hawaii, and the mail steamer
Mariposa was on the way. the vessels met.
and mail was transferred from the Hya-
cinthe for San Francisco. 1t appears that
in order to attract the Mariposa the Hya-
cinthe sent up rocket Failing In her OBJ
ject, she fired two blank cartridges. This
has been magnified to the extent that 1t is
said the Hyacinthe fired across the Mari
posa's bow. The commander Of the Hya-
cinthe supposed the Mariposa to be an
English vessel.
The Honolulu Advertiser says If the orig
inal story was true it might be serious, but
1t is not. and gives Capt. Mays reason, as
above, to silence the story Of an outrage on
an American steamer.
