WASHINGTON, March IL. - Ex-Con-
gresham Hall stoutly maintains that
he is candidate for no place within the
gift Of the president, but it is limited
that Hall would willingly forego the
pleasures of . renewed residence in Red
Wing for a place in the diplomatic
or consular service abroad. It will
be remembered that Hall was once
a candidate for the Swedish mission.
That place is gone. but there are num-
Der Of other places left, any one Of
which would be q fitting reward for
Halls party services he has stood by
the administration with unwavering
loyalty and deserves as well a. any one
member Of the late congress at its
hands.

Walla. 1t was alleged that the rail-

There is not the remotest possibility
that the troops will be needed. All re.
liable sources of information confirm
the belief that the Indians are peace
fully inclined and will resort to no
violence. They are intensely inter.
ested in legal proceedings to secure the
release of their chiefs, but are satisfied
with that course of procedure.

CAPTURED A FREIGHT.

Tramps at Wilmington. Del, DO the
Coxey Act--AH Jailed.
WILMINGTON, Del, March IA
gang 81 about 80 tramps captured the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more freight train from Baltimore,
which was due in this city about II 30.
The tramps got on the train just out
side of Baltimore and at once began to
abuse the trainmen. Conductor Riley
and his crew were powerless. A few
Of the gang had revolvers and all were
armed with knives and clubs.
One brakeman was caught on top OF
car and beaten. In the fight his lamp
was broken, and the tramps then at
tempted to force him from the car. He
managed to escape and took refuge on
the engine. At Chase Station the train
men were all driven from the tops OF
the cars, and it was expected an attack
would be made ON the engine.
But after the tramps had secured pos
session Of the train, they began quarrel
ing among themselves and during one
of their fights man was thrown from
the train, and it is supposed fatally in
jured, il not killed outright. Conductor
Riley telegraphed to this city for assist
ance and when the train reached the
west yard in this city there were about
so policemen in waiting. As soon as
the train was brought to . stop, the
\tramps jumped from the cars and
started to run across the fields. The
heavy fog prevented the officers from
capturing many Of the men, but after q
running fight, in which several shots
were fired, the officers succeeded in
capturing II of the gang. When the
tramps were cornered they showed
fight, and only surrendered at the point
of revolvers.
The prisoners had hearing before
Justice Smelz and were given jail SEN

OR AN INTERNATIONAL CABLE.


Russia, France, Japan and Hawaii viii
Join in Building One.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-When con-
gress failed to provide for building the
Hawaiian cable it by no means ended
the question. On the contrary it has
brought forward a project of interna-
tional Importance, by which Russia,
France, Japan and Hawaii will join in
an American enterprise for laying a
cable from the United States to Hawaii
and thence to Japan, with branch cables
to the French islands and extensive
naval stations in the Southern Pacific.
The negotiations with these govern
ments have proceeded quietly but with
such satisfactory results that they are
well along toward completion. A num-
Der of conferences have been held with
the officials of the Japanese legation
here and several phases of the subject
are now under negotiation between
Toxic and Washington.
