Investigation Of Kansas PopuIists Almost
Results i'm Tragedy.
TOPEKA. Kan, July 25.-A dispatch
TO The Capital from Lansing says: The
investigation Of charges made against
Populist officials of the Kansas peniten-
tiary was 3 mere farce, though it came
near ending in a tragedy. When the
penitentiary directors opened the inves-
tigation Judge Med Donnell, for the COM
plainants, asked for a continuance.
While the board was deliberating ON
this point Warden Chase appeared in
Judge McDonnell's room and they
ended O brisk conversation by calling
each other liars. At this Chase grabbed
Mcdonnell by the collar and
stracl Him Nine Vicious Blows
ON the back Of the head. Friends rushed
i'm TO separate the combatants when q
! mix up occurred and knives and pistols
were drawn. After the assault ON Judge
Mcdonnell Chase's opponents were ter
rorized AID refused absolutely to have
anythingto do with the investigation.
In the afternoon Judge Mcdonnell could
not appear and the prosecution was de-
clared Closed without word of testi-
mony. Six witnesses testified for Chase
and they made good showing against
the charges. Judge Mcdonnell states
he viii prosecute Warden Chase on the
charge d assault with intent to kill.
The judge is 90 years of age.

Many Fields Of Standing Grain I'm Northern
Wisconsin, On Fire.
CUMBERLAND, Wis, July 25.--Forest
fires are raging for more than a hundred
miles along the line of the North Wis
consin division of the Omaha railroad,
between Ashland and Superior ON the
north and Chippewa Falls and New
Richmond ON the south. Thousands of
cords of wood and cross ties are ON fire;
also fields Of standing as well as har-
vested grain and hay. Every farmer
through whose farm the railroad passes
has watchers along the track to guard
against the breaking ont of fire from
sparks from the engines. The drought
has become appalling and farmers were
much discouraged before the forest fires
began to run. Now it looks as If little
would be left to them ON which to
weather long, cold winter. Spring
grain Is already an absolute failure and
corn and potatoes will not amount to
one-quarter of crop in many localities,
even il we get rain now.

A LETTER IRON j. w. SCOTT
In Which He Holds to the Belief That
There Is AS Yet No Great Cause |
For Anxiety.

3 LONDON, July 24.--Carl Siewers writes
10 The Standard that he ID in receipt of
advices from Norway that leave little
doubt that the Wellman expedition L
lost. Experienced slrippers just returned
from the spitzenbergen seas express the
same opinion, and Colonel Fielding, who
accompanied Captain Mares expedition
In 1875, shares this belief.
. Esetsr From Scotia.
In reply b d request. ]. w. Scott.
Publisher Of the Chicago Herald, and
interested In the expedition, has written
the following 20 the Associated Press:
The fact that there was 50 much fioat-
ing ice this year led Mr.. Wellman to
believe his vessel, the Ragnavald-Ja
could get further north than any ship
had ever reached before. This isiforrna-
tion was corroborated by d great many
nayigatos whom he saw just before he
left Reports that come about the loss
0f the expedition arise from the fact that
Ashing and other vessels have not seen
the Ragnavald- -Jarl, which they would
have done In ordinary seasons. Private
cablegrams to The Herald from Tromsoe
say that even il the vessel Ii lost, there
Is no reason for anxiety for the expedi.
tion and the crew, which il undoubtedly
upon the ice somewhere,
Waking Its Way Toward the Pole.
When Mr.. Wellman left Tromsoe, il
was with the understanding that the
vessel should come back and bring re-
ports Of the expedition up to the time
that he could send messengers back to II
from some distance in the interior, and
undoubtedly the vessel Is waiting at
some point for such communications.
he arranged that the vessel should ne.
turn some time between July 10 and
Aug. I, but possibly the vessel might be
still later. IL was to return 10 Norway
40 coal ap and I'd prepare Tor tha return
trip ~ being Mr.. Wellman, which
would require IL to leave about Aug. /
consequently there is no occasion fol
alarm until after that date.

CHICAGO, July 25.--A new Labor
union has been launched forth ON the
troubled seas Of the labor world, which,
it's leaders say, win gather under one
banner the whole army of the toiling
masses. The new American Labor
nnion held meeting in the ante-room

it win take the place of the knights OF
Labor. The declaration Of principles,
say the directors, have taken into con-
sideration many obstacles that win be
encountered.
First win be the assailing OF the char
acters OF the prime movers by the 90
called labor leaders, caused by the fear
OF our disrupting older organizations and
their leaders pull with politicians, cor.
porations and shysters Of every descrip-
tion.
Second win be the arduous task od
convincing the masses that it Is neces-
sary 10 their welfare that the welfare
that the "a called labor leaders are too
numerous and are thriving on the hard
earned wages Of the telling masses, and
that the time has arrived when
Only One Organization

tanning 10 IDS welfare. The American
Labor Union believes I'm organization On
the principle Of every member being 9
leader, and every member participating
In the settlement Of the wageworker's
problems. 1t believes the 300 or more
labor leaders are q source of widespread
dissatisfaction among organized work
men. The "A. i. II. offers q remedy fol
these evils by coming into the world
with one universal brotherhood of work

Most of the Nay Occupied by Attorney
Erwin For the Defense.
CHICAGO, July 25.--During the pro-
ceedings in tlIe trial Of President Debs
and his associates for contempt, District
Attorney Milchrist called the attention
of the court to the act of 1890, known as
the antitrust law. He read some of it's
provisions, stating that If two or more
persons conspire 10 obstruct interstate
commerce, they shall be deemed guilty
Of an offense against the government,
and shall be proceeded against i'm the
United States court In equity. The dis
trict attorney said that under this law
the argument of the defense that the
bill under which the injunction was is
sued, is void, falls 20 the ground. The
bill is filed under the act Of 1890. There
Is no doubt, Mr.. Milchrist said, that the
government has such q pecuniary inter-
est i'm interstate commerce that il has q
right to file such q bill. The government
maintains itself In part by the revenue
derived from the postal service.
The greater part OF the days session
was taken up with the argument Of At
torney Erwin for the defense. He was
frequently interrupted by Judge Woods
who questioned the attorney closely.
Judge Woods was particularly inquisi-
tive In regard TO the advisory character
of the Al. n. II. officers duties.
IF the officers could not order q
strike, but could advise the organize
tion's members,' = asked the judge, sswhy
could not the former advise the men to
desist after the strike was in force?''
Attorney Erwin replied that the gov
ernment's complaint contained nothing
regarding advice, but simply charged
the defendants with ordering strikes.
IF the government meant advice in
stead of ordering" said the attorney, lit
should have said so. Our answer fully
covers the case as stated by the prosecu.
ton
