Corker.
At Sam Kingsbury's transfer depot on
X atreet, near Sixth. STRAW" ballot for
Mayor was taken yesterday. No effort
was made TO stuff the box in favor OF
any particular candidate. the voters being
citizens who happened along in the ordi-
nary way. No one was allowed to vote
who was not on the register and quail
fed voter.
Ninety ballots in all were cast, and the
result was: Wilson 40, Hubbard %,
Steinman q, Lawton l.
1t will be seen that Wilson, the Re-
publican nominee, received as many
votes as all the others combined, and that
is believed TO be fair indication of pub
lie sentiment

j. w. Wilson is a good roads man from
away back. He was one of the callers
of the first road convention ever held on
the coast, and of the two county con-
ventions held in this county. Into al
three his money went, and his voice was
strong, vigorous and sound in them for
good road building. He knows what is
meant by a macadam road, and will
never permit a Street Superintendent
to compel contractors to put earthy
matter on the top of macadam surfaces
But that was what has been done under
the superintendent of Murray.

AMENOE HONORABLE.
Spain Willing to Do What Is Proper in the
Alliance Affair.

Alliance Affair.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The state
department has received a dispatch
from Minister Taylor at Madrid. The
Spanish government has given assur-
ance to the United States that there
will be no more repetition of such Of
lenses as the firing upon the mail
steamer Alliance The reply of the
Spanish government is couched in cour-
teous and temperate phrases, and ex-
presses the determination of Spain to
avoid further cause of complaint on
the part of the American government.
As to the attempted detention of
the Alliance, the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs says he is yet without
information, and adds that as soon as
he snail have received a report from
the captain-general of Cuba concerning
that incident reply will be made to
the demand made in Secretary Gresh-
ANS telegram.
While the officials of the state de-
partment are unwilling to say any
thing whatever concerning the con-
tents of Minister Taylor's cablegram,
it is believed the foregoing is a fairly
accurate Interpretation of the dispatch.
1t will be noted that the Spanish govern
nent promptly complies with one of the
most importantof Secretary Gresham's
demand, which was for immediate as
surance" that the war vessels patrol
ing Cuban waters should not give
further offense in the manner COM
planned of in the Alliance affair. As
to the other demand made by Sec
rotary Gresham that the Spanish
government should promptly express
its regrets for the attempted detention
of the Alliance, Minister Taylor re-
spends stating the willingness of the
Madrid government to respond thereto
in due time, should the facts on inves-
tigation prove to be in accordance
with the representations made by the
United States

RESERVATIONS
Lanoreaux Preparing to Sell
Certain Abandoned Ones

Certain Abandoned Omee-
WASHINGTON, March 1s--Commis-
sioner Lamoreaux, of the general land
Office. has determined at once to make
arrangements for the appraisal and
sale of the abandoned military reserva-
tions which have for several years been
in the hands of custodians. The action
of the war department last summer in
abandoning several additional posts
has increased the number Commits
sioner Lamoreaux went before the
appropriations committee and asked
for 5000 to pay custodians of
these reservations and was asked
why the reservations were not dis
posed of under existing law. He then
asked for money to appraise the reser-
vations so that they might be sold, and
this was done. He intends to put APP
praisers into the field at once and as
soon as an appraIsement is made sell
the lands and buildings The reserva-
ton in the Occur d'Alene mining re-
gion will be held, as it is not improb-
able that this reservation may be
needed for military purposes in view of
the several disturbances that have oc-
Cured among the miners in northern
Idaho.
1t is expected by the land depart
ment that the surveys on the Colville
Indian reservation will have progressed
sufficiently this summer and Indian
allotment made so that I,5OO. 600 acres
will be opened to settlement. These
lands are in northeastern Washington.
II has been several years since these
lands were ceded. but owing to delay
or lack of funds for making surveys no
steps have been taken toward opening
them to settlement, although there has
been some demand for it. Upon the
tract there are said to be valuable min
eral deposits While it was in the
hands of the Indians the mines were
not prospected or developed. but it is
expected that as soon as the lands are
opened the mineral portions will re-
ceive attention.

DESTRUCTIVE FLAMES
Fatal Fire at Toledo. o.. and n Bad Blaze NJ
Cleveland.

TOLEDO, o., March 1s.-The round
house of the Wabash Railroad Co. in
this city, located at the foot of South
street, on the dock front, burned to
the ground yesterday morning. Three
quarters of an hour after the first
alarm was sent in the southwest wall
of the building. 60 feet in circumfer-
ence. fell in burying twelve men under
meath it Two of them were instantly
killed, third died short time after
being taken out of the debris and the
others were all badly hurt, one proba-
bly, fatally. All but one were employees
of the Wabash.
The fremen had a stubborn fight
with the doomed roundhouse, the
heavy wind greatly aiding the stub
born flames At noon the fire was
practically under control, after de-
stroying all that was inhammable of
the building. The property loss is es-
timated at 100000. The roundhouse,
which had capacity of twenty loco
motives, contained only six engines
and these are all badly damaged. A
Wheeling & Lake Erie coal car and
Baltimore * Ohio box car were con-
sumed.

CLEVELAND, O., March 1S.-The Worth
ington block. at the corner of Ontario
and Noble streets, occupied by the
World (newspaper) plant and the A. y.
kellogg Newspaper Co., was entirely
destroyed by fire soon after 6 o'clock
yesterday evening. The building was
of brick and five stories in height.
The basement and second floor were
occupied by the Kellogg Newspaper
Co, with composing and stereotyping
plant, while the World occupied the
first and fifth floors. On the third
floor was the Clafin Manufacturing
Co.. makers of light hardware, and on
the fourth floor was the Bandau Broth
ers PaSsenenterie Co, manufacturers
of dress and cloak trimmings.
The loss on the building is estimated
at $40 900 with SO. 600 insurance. The
loss of the Cleveland World is placed
at $50. 900 with SO. 600 insurance. The
kellogg Newspaper Co.'S loss is S4l, OOC
and the insurance S2l.OO0 The Clafiin

sured. The cause of the fire is a mys-
terry. An explosion, probably caused
by gasoline, occurred soon after the
fire started, causing quite a little ex-

STRUNG UP.
A Woman In an Isolated Part of
Nebraska LyncAed-
ONE OF The PERPETRATORS CAUGHT
The Crime Credited TO yIgIIantes, but Some
Believe Cattle RustIers Committed
1t in Revenge for Furnishing
Evidence Against Them.

BUTTE. Neb., March 19.-Some time
bic woman residing alone on ranch
in an isolated part of Keya Paha coun-
ty. was assaulted and lynched- The
crime is credited to the vigIlantes of
the district, who believed her in league
with cattle rustlers. Some think rust
lers committed the crime in revenge
for evidence against them furnished by
the woman.
Persons passing the ranch Saturday
found the body and reported the mat
ter yesterday. The coroner found $50
on the woman's person, which Is re-
parded as certain evidence that the
crime was not committed by tramps
as at first supposed Her struggle
for life had been a hard one The
bedding and clothing of the woman
were torn and scattered about the
building. Her shoes had evidently
been removed, probably by herself,
preparatory to going to bed, when sur
prised by the lynchers- The woman
had evidently been assaulted before
she was strung up and everything
points toward a premeditated plan for
the consummation of the dastardly
deed
No warrants have yet been made, but
a meeting of the best citizens of the
neighborhood was held yesterday and
it was decided prompt measures should
be taken, and it is expected that an
other and possibly several hangiugs
will take place before long. Several
persons are under suspicion and these
parties will be taken and compelled to
confess
The latest report comes that a man
named Hunt is implicated in some way
with the lynchers and it is thought he
can be forced into a confession. A
number of the alleged rustlers were
recently arrested and taken to Spring
view, where they broke jail and es-
capped to the reservation, where they
were afterward recaptured and con-
victed. The proximity of the Indian
reservation to the scene of the depre-
dation makes it possible that a United
States deputy marshal NAV have to
make the arrests if warrants are sworn

see gain many recruits in Missouri
The state is, of course. decidedly
in favor of silver" he said, but
1 think the people of Missouri real
ize that any attempt to organize
third party in the interest of silver will
operate as a hindrance. There is
growing sentiment in both the old
parties favorable TO an enlarged use of
silver in our monetary system and /
think this will be expressed strongly
in both national platforms next year"
