ASHLAND NOT THE TERMINUS.
ASHLAND NOT THE TERMINUS.
An Important Decision BY Secretary Hoke
Smith.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Secretary
Smith has decided very important
case today, holding the eastern termi-
nus of the Northern Pacific railroad
is either Tompson, Mimi, or Superior,
Wis, instead of Ashland, Wis, as has
always been claimed by the company.
About 100000 acres are lost by the
company. The secretary does not
undertake to say whether the grant
begins at Tompsons or Superior City,
but directs all selections for indemnity
between these points held for further
consideration. He does declare the
grant of the Northern Pacific does not
extend east of Superior City. He also
says he is aware that lands east of
Superior were the basis for the selection
of large quantity of lands from the
indemnity belt of the company's grant
in North Dakota. These selections
having been made sometime ago, many,
if not all, perhaps, have been sold by
the company. The secretary has d.
rected that the company be allowed
sixty days from the notice of this de-
cision within which to specify new
basis for any OF its indemnity selec-
tions, provided by the decision, and
that during that period no contracts
against such selections, where the
charge is that the basis was made OF
lands east of Superior City, or against
applications entered under the settle
ment laws. will be received.

SHOT DOWN NEAR DELMAR
A Tramp Assaults a Woman
and Is Killed While Re-
SiSting an Officer.
He Was Armed With a Knife and a
Shotgun and Tried to Use
His Weapons.

SAN DIEGO, Call, April 25.-At clock
this afternoon Mrs. Hugh A. Fraser, an
elderly woman, who lives with her hus-
band on the Loop ranch one mile this side
of Delmar, went to that town in state of
struggle for life with man named James
Smith, tramp, who month ago was
given work by Mr.. Fraser.
Smith made an assault on her and she
fought desperately in her efforts to repulse
him. BY strategy she escaped and
FASTENED with all possible speed toward
Delmar.
Her story had scarcely been told before
Constable John Bludworth and Louis
Lamar were on their way to the ranch for
the purpose of taking Smith into custody
Upon arriving at the place they found that
Smith had apparently left taking shot
gun with him. After search of the house
Constable Bludworth went to the barn and
looked through it. He came upon Smith
sitting on a box in stall, a big dirk in his
hand and the shotgun and lot of loaded
shells beside him.
"When I saw Smith in the stall, said
Bludworth, "I called him by name and
said | had a warrant for him. His reply
was an oath. As he jumped toward me |
struck him with my six-shooter He kept
coming toward me with the knife raised
and fired, though it did not appear to hit
him. He still seemed determined to at
tack me, when | fired again, and he fell
dead. He had not fired at me, but evil
IDENTIFY meant to cut me on the neck, strik-
ing at me twice. Had L not fired the last
shot when l did he would have cut me
OPEN"
Smith greatly resembled Durrant, the
alleged murderer of the two young women
in San Francisco, to whom, it is asserted, he
is slightly related. During the past few days
he read everything he could lay his hands
on concerning his relative in San Fran
cisco, and seemed greatly wrought up over
the tragedy. Constable Bludworth has
not been arrested, but will come down from
Delmar voluntarily and place himself in
the custody of the Sheriff.

CHICO, CAL, April 25.-Ever since the
refusal of the City Trustees to allow the
fire department to play upon the fire at
the Bidwell mansion, situated outside of
the city limits last Saturday, there has
been a general howl going up from the
1iremen. who claim it was disgrace to the
CITY. but now the Trustees have announced
their intention of passing an ordinance re-
quiring the Chief Engineer to give bond
OF $1,000, prohibiting the apparatus from
going outside city limits, and imposing a
fine on the Chief of from 800 to $500 for
violation of the ordinance. This is con-
sidered too much, and many firemen have
announced their intention of resigning if
the ordinance is passed. 1t is also believed
by some it will lead to the disbandment of
the entire department, which is considered
the best volunteer in the State.
A fireman who Will be elected Chief next
month announced to-day that he would
give no bonds, and would resign first. The
:citizens in general are in sympathy with
the tiremen and think the matter of going
outside with the apparatus should be left
to the discretion of the Chief. 1t is as
Stunning serious aspect, and disband-
.ment of the department would immedi-
ately affect the insurance rates in the city,
which are at present comparatively low.

JOHNSoN,S DEATH BLOW.
The Olympid's RecOfl Machinery Said to
Hare Caused It.

Have Caused 1t.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 25.-The death
of Coxswain John Johnson of the cruiser
Olympia on Wednesday morning was not
caused by the blowing out of the breech
plug of the 5-inch rife, as at first reported,
but by the recoil of the rifle itself. The
accident was said by Johnson's comrades
to be wholly inexcusable and they laid the
fault on the ordnance inspector at Mare
Island, who was supposed to have gone
over the guns and attended to them.
The big guns are so mounted that the re-
coil is taken up by mechanism similar to a
cylinder and piston-rod, the material in
side the cylinder being glycerine, which,
as the gun recoils. is forced past the piston
into the other chamber of the cylinder,
thus taking up the force of the recoil' by
slow action.
After the accident on the Olympia the
gun was examined and was found instead
of several gallons of glycerine in the cy-
Under, as there should have been, there
was hardly a drop and it was then seen
that the whole force of the big gun struck
the unfortunate coxswain in the face,
smashing it out of sembance of human
features and killing him instantly.
The gun recOiled clear back to the bulk
heads and tore up the deck considerably.
1t is probable that the matter will be in
vestigated when the vessel returns north.
She sails tomorrow afternoon.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 26.-A special

World correspondent saw the Marquis OF

arrest of his son in California.
The Marquis has been greatly depressed
by the reports OF the other affair printed
in London, but seemed overwrought in
consequence of this latest shock He said :

heard of it yesterday from America. 1t
came with painful shock to me-"

contemplated matrimony?"
mo, certainly not" Lord Queensberry
answered 81 knew nothing of the affair.
The cablegram was absolute news to me"
"Then you had nothing to do with hay
ing him arrested under the insanity plea 2'
"Nothing whatever" the Marquis re-
piled. 81 never heard any one suggest
that he is insane. Apparently, the people
who got him arrested don't believe it."
"May 1 ask" the World correspondent
ventured," !" whether you disapprove of the
marriage your son seems 10 intend to con-
tract?"
Il do not disapprove of it on principle, 4"
Lord Queensberry said, ''if that is what
you mean. am ignorant of the circum-
stances of the case, but 1 may tell you I
believe in permitting man to marry the
woman of his choice regardless of any other
consideration. 1 think it point upon
which perfect freedom should exist There
are many views on the general question.
AS to the particular circumstances of the
present case, know nothing"
The correspondent hears from other
sources that Lord Douglas, like his two
brothers, Lord Douglas of Helwick and
Viscount Drumlanrig, has been under the
control of his mother, who provided him
with money to buy the fruit ranch in Cali
