TRAIN WRECKERS FOILED.
A WOMAN TELEGRAPH OPERATORS
QUICK WIT PREVENTED
A CRIME.
SHE WARNED THE NORTHERN PA
CIFIC OFFICIALS OF TRAMPS
INTENTIONS.

DULUTH, Mimi, March 9.-Some of the
passengers who were on the Northern Pa
citic train from the west this morning were
decidedly nervous until they were some
distance this side of Kimberly.
Last night about IL o'clock Miss Reich
art, the night operator at Kimberly, twelve
miles this side of Aitkin, heard three
rough-looking men planning to wreck the
passenger train at bridge near Kimberly.
She at once wired the dispatchers at Brain
erd, and the men heard the instrument
working and jumped at the conclusion that
she was warning the railroad people. They
rushed for the door of the office and tried
to break it in, but were met by the plucky
woman, who fired four shots through the
door. The men took to their heels.
The railroad officials sent out word for
the section men to patrol the track for sew
eral miles, and the train was run very eau
tiously through that part of the country,
but no trouble was experienced. Three
men were run out of Aitkin yesterday, and
it is believed they planned the wreck.

FIGHT NTH TR4MPS.
DetGc0re officers Hare Running Fight
Before Making Arrests.

Delaware officers Haze Tanning Fight
Before Making arrests.
WILMINGTON, Del, March 9.-Last night
fifty tramps captured the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore freight train
from Baltimore, due in this city at
11:30. Conductor Reilly and crew were
powerless. A few of the gang had re-
volvers and all were armed with knives
and clubs. One brakemen was beaten.
The tramps attempted to force him from
the car.
They took refuge on the engine. At
Chase station the trainmen were all driven
from the tops OF the cars, and it was ex-
pected that an attack would be made on
the engine, but afterward the tramps
began quarreling among themselves. One
was thrown from the train and it is sup
posed was fatally injured.
Conductor Reilly telegraphed to this city
for assistance. AS soon as the train stopped
the tramps jumped from the cars and ran
across the fields, after running fight in
which several shots were fired.
The officers succeeded in capturing
eleven. The tramps only surrendered at
the point of revolvers. This morning the
prisoners were given jail sentences.

THE INSURANCE MONOPOLY.
Ffndt Session of Western Underwater
adjourned IN. St. Louis.

Ffndt Session of WeStern Undertcrttefs
Adjouf1,ed IN st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 9.-The Western
Union OF Insurance Underwriters held It's
final session to-day and adjourned to meet
at Niagara Falls in September next. While
nothing of positive character can be
learned 1t is stated that there had been
bitter fight at every session of the union,
a fight which has not yet seen its end.
The trouble grew out of the question of
commissions. The mode of procedure
prior to March, 1894, was for local agents
to make their own terms with the COM
panles they represented as to commits
slons. Rates were the same, but the COM
missions varied according to the influence
and business capacity of individual agents.
About that time the Western Union
passed rule that thereafter commissions
should not be paid in excess of Is per
cent.
st. Louis agents have failed to live up to
it. Several local agents represent both
union and non-union companies, and the
Western Union, it is said. is now trying
to force local agents either to conform to
the rules of practice in regard to the 15-per
cent commission or to give up their non
union companies, the real object of the
resolution being to force the outside COM
panies into the union.

SWINDLERS ARRESTED.
They Adrertised for LabOrers to Come to
California Mines.

PITTsBURG, March 9.-W. A. Snider and
Harry Stone of this city were arrested at
Braddock to-day for running swindling
game. They advertised in daily papers in
Pittsburg, Philadelphia and other cities
under the name of l.. Carson Willard, ask
ing for laborers to go to California to work
in the gold mines, where they said they
would be paid good wages. Applicants
were requested to send twenty cents in sill
yer or stamps to box 322, Braddock.
The postmaster became suspicious at
the immense number of letters that were
coming for "Mr. Willard" and reported to
Constable Lutz, who made the arrests to-
day when the men come to take their let
tiers away with a gripsack. The case has
been turned over to the postoffice authori-

AMERICANS PREFERRED.
France Is Figuring Upon the
Submerged Telegraph Line
to the Islands.
THE JAPANESE SAY NOTHING.
The Legation Secretary Does Not
Believe His Countrymen Are
Interested.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Hawaiian
Minister to the United States, Minister
Thurston, said to-day he was cognizant in
a general way only of efforts on the part
of private individuals to establish a cable
between the United States and Hawaii
''The Hawaiian Government would look
with favor upon this or any other PROPOSE
ton for cable communication with the
world" said Mr.. Thurston 'tWhat we
want first is cable, preferably in connec-
ton with the United States, because our
business interests lie that way; but at any
rate cable. Any proposition looking to
this end will receive the aid of the Ha-
waiian Government to the extent of its
ability, meaning by that its financial abil-
ity and recognition of treaty obligations. :"
1t is understood that there is still another
possibility of a cable to Hawaii 1t is stated
in diplomatic circles that the French Gov
eminent has intimated to the Hawaiian
Government desire that the Hawaiians
should not be too quick to close negotia-
tlons for an English cable. 1t was limited
IN this connection, it is said, that there is a
possibility of France extending her New
Caledonia cable to Honolulu. The French
Government now aids, by subsidy, cable
between Australia and the island of New
Caledonia. From this point it is but a
distance of 5000 miles to Honolulu. Which
ever Government gets the cable to Homo
lulu first will have practical monopoly
for several years, because there will not be
enough business for two lines, and, more
over, it will have start toward the extern
sion of cable from Hawaii to the west or
south.
K. Matsui, first secretary of the Japa-
nese legation, smiled skeptically when his
attention was called to the advanced state
of the negotiations looking toward the Pa
citic cable
"Such an idea has been considered for
the past five or six years." he said, 'but
nothing definite has been formulated. I
do not believe the statements that wealthy
japanese capitalists are interested at pres
ent in the incorporation of such a com
pany. Neither do 1 believe that Minister
Kurino has had any communication with
the Secretary of State on the subject"
''Have there been any conferences with
officials of this legation upon the matter ?"
Mr.. Matsui smiled again. "None, as
sure you" he replied amiably. "All state
ments published regarding approaching
completion of preliminaries in this regard
are something new to me, and I cannot
believe there is much in them"

CARGO OF THE SUNKEN
STEAMER.

CINCINNATI, March 9.-This has been a
day a suspense among the relatives and
friends of the victims of the Longfellow
wreck. Searching parties have gone down
the river looking for traces of the missing.
The officers of the packet company were
rewarded for their zealOusness by finding
the body of the veteran clerk of the Long
fellow, Captain ]. L. Carter, in the wreck
that had been caught and tied to the shore
near Riverside. The aged clerk was pinned
to the boiler by portion of the cabin deck
which had fallen on him. His body was
not mutilated.

may be found
The wreckage of the Longfellow is scat
tered for a distance of twenty-five miles,
and everywhere the skiffs of wreckers are
busy towing cases to the shore where they
are Immediately rifed. Pirate skiffs are
lowering around the hull waiting for
pieces of freight to be detached. The COM
pany's men are doing everything possible
to save the cargo.
There have been no developments to-day
to indicate that the death list will be en-
larged.
Although the death list of the disaster
was stated at twelve there is only GER

NO MORE LAND PATENTS.
Secretary Smith Has Decided to Hfh-
hold Railroad Titles.

hold Railroad Titles.
WAsH1NcroN. March 9.-Secretary Smith
has determined that no more patents tor
land granted the subsidized railroads shall
be issued until there has been settlement
of the debt due the Government from these
roads. An attempt was made to get res
olution to this effect through Congress, but
it failed
As soon as the resolution was presented
Commissioner Lamoreux of the General
Land Office Immediately suspended work
upon the preparation of lists OF lands
within the grants and none were sent to
the Secretary for approval while the reso-
luton was pending. Afterward, when
Congress adjourned, the Commissioner felt
compelled to go ahead with the patenung
of lands to the Union and Central Pacific
roads, but with the announcement OF the
Secretary that he will not approve any
further patents to these roads work was
again suspended.
Secretary Smith will in short time make
an order to that effect and give reasons
for such action. He says that he thinks 1t
just that no more patents should be
granted when the roads owe the Govern
ment such large sums.
1t has been stated that suit for man
damus to compel the Secretary to con-
tinue issuing patents will be brought by
the railroads. When this was suggested
to Secretary Smith to-day he said that it
would be time enough to begin work on the
patents when the courts granted such
mandamus. The lands affected are within
the grants to the Union and Central Pacific
between Omaha and Sacramento. 1t is
also thought the lands within the grant to
the Oregon and California road will be af-
fected as it is operated as part of the
Central Pacific Railroad system.

Hundreds Of Chess Players Watched the
Game at 1IGnhdttdn.
New YORK, March 9.-The cable chess
match between the Manhattan Chess Club
of this city and the British Chess Club re-
suited in draw. When the play ceased
at $50 O'Clock one game was finished its
result being draw, and the other games
were LETT in such doubtful state when
play was stopped that decision was con-
sidered impossible
When Lasker was asked at London to
adjudicate upon these games he proposed
that the match be called a draw, as the
adiudieating of the remaining games could
not be satisfactory to either club. The
proposition was accepted and the match
declared drawn
Hundreds of chess-players from all parts
OF the country were at the Manhattan
Club throughout the day The arrange
ments were excellently carried out and the
whole event went off in the best possible
and agreeable manner
The only game which was finished was
that between D. G. Baird and Mills. This
resulted in a draw
Lipschutz had an advantage at one time,
but Owen managed to equalize things
later on.
Showalter, on the other hand, had de-
cided advantage when the game was
stopped and it looked as though he should
have won had the contest been continued
to the end.
Hodges could not make any Roadway
against Locok, the game being even all the
way through.
Hanhan and Lord only played a few
moves, as a mistake was made in calling
this game, and a good deal of time was lost
in rectifying it.
Ryan succeeded in getting 4 strong at
tack on Guesta, and with clever play he
ought to have won had the game been fin
ished.
The game between Isaacson and Morti-
mer was prettily played each having an
attack ready when play ceased.

matched and the game was even through
out
