BIG FISH ARE LANDED.
Eight of the Men Indicted i'm
New York Placed Under
Arrest.
Among Them Are Two Ex-CommIs-
sioners Who Cut Figure
in Politics.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April eight
men, who were indicted yesterday by the
extraordinary Grand Jury, were placed
under arrest this morning. George G.
Clausen, formerly the Park Commits
sioner, and at one time presi-
dent of the Public Parks, and
ex-Park Commissioner Strauss, were the
first to reach police headquarters. Police
Captain Killilea, ex-Park Commissioner
Abraham Happen, Patrolman Hugh Cas-
sidy, Edward f. Miley and John M.
Thrall arrived soon afterward.
Superintendent Byrnes this morning
suspended from duty Captain Killilea and
the three patrolmen, Miley, Thrall and
Cassidy. This is said to be a somewhat
unusual course. Two weeks ago, Commits
sioner Andrews, at meeting of the Police
Board, asked for list of men indicted who
had not been suspended from duty. The
list was furnished yesterday, and was dis
cussed at the afternoon session by the
board. At the time the Superintendent
was directed to suspend from duty all men
against whom indictments may be found.

Cheyenne the storm is most severe and
traffic is shut down on the Northern. The
storm is working south.
On the Julesburg line sand has drifted to
such a depth that gangs of men are en-
gagged in shoveling it from the tracks. The
Santa Fe train from the south is also re-
ported indefinitely annulled. An effort
will be made to get train through on the
Kansas Pacific tonight out of Denver.
Ell RENO, 0. T., April 6.-This section
has been visited for the last three days
with most terrible wind and sand storm,
the wind at times registering as high as
sixty miles an hour, whirling the sand and
dirt about in clouds.
Business has practically stopped and
travel greatly impeded. About o'clock
yesterday afternoon cloud of sand came
up from the southwest, which totally OBJ
scured the sun. The darkness of evening
settled over the country.
Things could not be seen fifty yards, and
the sand was scattered along as though
thrown broadcast from great hand. The
falling of the sand continued for more than
an hour, and those out in it could hardly
breathe. The high wind prevailed all
night and to-day, but this evening it is
raining.

TO BRIBERY
Money Offered for the Defeat
of an Objectionable
Bill,
Revelations That Throw the House
In an Uproar and VIII Cause
Investigation.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, April GA sem
sation was sprung in the House of Repre-
sentatives to-day when Representative
Yancey of Phillips County arose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege, and told story
of alleged bribery in connection with the
vote on the railroad commission bill in the
House.
According to Yancey's recital he was
taken to the Office of Dodge & Johnson,
attorneys for the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern Railroad, by Representative
Roberts of Madison, and introduced to
Dodge as a "friend who would vote with
u.s.
Subsequently, said Mr.. Yancey, T. l..
Cox approached him and said he would
send $500 or $500 over to Phillips County to
elect Yancey to the Senate. After that
Cox tolk Yancey he wanted him to oppose
the railroad commission bill. Yancey said ::
"Cox at one time wanted to know what
to get me. In addition to promising aid
for my election to the Senate he promised
to fix it so that could get thousand at
the next session. 1 talked with Repre-
sentative Wagner of Franklin County and
asked if any one had approached him in
regard to the railroad commission bill.
Wagner said that Cox approached him
and asked if there was anything that
could be done to enlist him against the
bill. Wagner and l agreed to see if Cox
wouln give 800 each.
81 went and saw Cox and told him had
decided to oppose. told him could get
Wagner for 500. He said he would see
Wagner and pay the money. Cox, Wag-
ner and I met afterward and 1 told Cox we
wanted 500 apiece. Later 1 met Cox and
he told me he was little afraid of Wag-
ner and would rather not let him be pres
ent when he paid me the $500 and said 1
could fix it with Wagner.
'Cox told me to pay my bill where L was
boarding, move to the Gleason Hotel and
he would pay my board bill and furnish
me money to drink with the boys.
Representative Jones of Madison
told me he had room at the Gleason and
was living like a king. Cox took me to
the Gleason Hotel and went into room,
where was introduced to man named
Dean, who said he was at the head of the
Iron Mountain road for Arkansas.
HE said they always made clean can
vass, but they did not pay anything down,
but always took care of the boys after the
fight was over. After that conversation 1
met Cox and told him he had not given
me the $500 and told him he must put up
$500 or I would give the thing away"
Yancey then went on to say that Cox
gave him 500 and said that he would see
that the other 500 was put up.
When Yancey had finished speaking the
House was in great uproar, and finally a
motion to appoint committee to investi-
gate the affair was carried.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April Gan exciting
fight between a wildcat and four hounds
took place night before last on the Mellot
ranch on the Bear Creek road, about seven
miles from Los Gatos, in which three of
the dogs were killed.
About o'clock Mr.. Mellot's attention
was attracted by the yelping of his hounds,
and, taking his rife, he hurried in the
direction of the unusual noise. About
three hundred yards from the house he
found his pack of dogs under large oak
tree, the upper boughs of which were sway
ing in an unusual way.
Looking up he discovered the fiery eyes
of an animal, and came to the conclusion
it was wildcat that had been freed. After
firing three shots at the animal the cat
jumped down, landing on the back of one
of the dogs. The whole pack joined in the
fight, and Mr.. Mellot withdrew to a safe
distance to watch the outcome.
The fight was a fierce one, and lasted
about ten minutes. The cat had killed
three of the dogs and had firm hold on
the throat of the other when Mr.. Mellot
took hand in the fight, shooting the cat
through the head. The body of the cat
was covered with wounds inflicted by the
teeth of the dogs. The cat weighed thirty
five mounds

the Reduction of Rates.

CHICAGO, ILL, April g. Some days
ago the steamboat lines plying between
Puget Sound points and San Francisco and
Portland announced reduction in their

tention to use these rates for basing pur-
poses from the East The matter was
referred to Chairman Caldwell, and he to-
day made ruling to the effect that by the
agreement of the Western lines neither the
Northern Pacific nor any other line has the
right to individual action in such cases.
The use of steamboat rates as basis for
the Eastern terminals must, he declared,
be by the common consent of all lines
interested. 1t is said that the Northern
Pacific will accept the ruling and ignore
the steamer rates if the Great Northern
will do the same.
