the De Belleville features. De Belle
Vile staggered back and instead of
putting up his hands reached for the
discarded cane. AS he got hold of
the cane he aimed a blow with all his
might at Hilliard's head. Hilliard
jumped aside, but the blow fell on his
shoulder and the cane broke in two.
Stage Carpenter Bill Kellem rushed in
between them and everybody on the
stage followed him, so that the fight
had to stop just at the point where
both men were once more on an equal
basis and we'll warmed up. The bet
ting was all on Hilliard, strange to say
as he weighs twenty or thirty pounds
less than his opponent. Mr.. Hilliard is
of athletic build, however, a scientific
boxer, and thrives in mix up as
the short work he made of Wilton
Lackaye a few years ago very thor
oughly demonstrated.
There has been no renewal of hos
tilities today and it is thought that a
peace may be patched up before the
company gets to Chicago next week.
If both remain fighting mad one clause
in their contracts will have to be
changed. This is the clause which
preScribeS that Hilliard and De Belle
vile shall occupy the same dressing
room. This was put in TO avoid dis
pute about the right of either party to
the star dressing room, very delicate
point in theatrical etiquette. The
dressing room which they will oc-
cupy at the Columbia theater in Chi
cago will have to be enlarged consid-
erably before it will be safe to lodge

AMERICANS NOT BARRED.
Demands of England On Nicara-
gun MisQuoted.

LONDON. March N.-The following
semi-oficial statement was obtained
by the Associated Press tonight in re-
gard to the trouble between Great
Britain and Nicaragua: Gen. Barrios,
when the British made demands for
the Nicaraguan envoy, left London
compensation in the sum of f15,000 for
the expulsion from Bluehelds of Mr.
Hatch, the British consular agent
there. and also for the appointment of
a commission to adjudicate the dam
ages sustained by the persons and
property of British subjects expelled
from the Mosquito reservation. Gen.
BarrioS, it is understood has since
submitted the matter to the govern
ment of the United States, with the
object of enlisting sympathy and aid
The statement that Great Britain stip-
ulated that no citizen of the United
States should be a member of the COM
mission mentioned, is inaccurate. 1t
is the opinion in diplomatic circles here
that the demands of Great Britain are
exceptionally small, and the aggrava-
tion warranted even severer measures.
The dispatch adds that Gen. Pie
.rola, the commander of the insur-
gents, entered the city with two
thousand men at dawn Sunday. The
government forces made a brave de-
Tense, and the fighting continued un-
til early Tuesday morning, when the
diplomats arranged truce that was
to be in force until o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. This truce was ar
ranged to allow both sides to bury
their dead. 1t has now been ar
ranged that Gen. Caceres and his
forces, as we'll as Gen. Pierola's,
shall retire from the city.

A THOUSAND DEAD BODIES
StpeW the Streets as a Result
Of the Three Days of
Fighting.
A COMPROMISE is EFFECTED
Reported Declaration of War
Between Guatemala and
Mexico Denied.

WASHINGTON, March PA dis
patch was. received here tonight by
Secretary Gresham from Minister
Mckenzie, in Peru, in reference to
the recent revolution there. Accord
ing to Mr.. Mckenzie there was bitter
and sustained fighting in and around
Lima for three days. At the end of
this time there were over a thousand
dead bodies lying in the streets, and
both sides were exhausted. An armis-
tice was agreed upon to permit the
dead to be buried and the wounded
cared for. After this was finished,
negotiations were still continued, and
finally an agreement of some sort
was reached by the leaders of the
contending factions, but details of
this were not learned by the minis
ter. Some sort of provisional gov
ernment now seems to be in control.
BUENOS AYERS, March 21.-Ad-
vices from Peru are to the effect that
President CacereS has resigned, and
that the provisional government
formed after the conclusion of the
armiStice between the government
and the insurgents which preceded
Gen. Caceres' resignation consists
of representatives of both the bellig-
erents. The provisional government
will issue decree ordering the hold
ing of new elections.
LONDON, March 21-A dispatch
to the Times from Lima says that
the loss in killed and wounded on
both sides in the fighting about the
capitol was 1000 No foreigners
were killed. The city is now quiet.

Higgins Men Mean to Force nm
Election.


Election.
DOVER, Del, March 21.-There
was another sensation at the state
house today when the two branches
OF the legislature met in joint ses
sion to ballot for a United States
senator to succeed Anthony Hig-
gins. All Of the Democrats deserted
Chancellor Walcott, the caucus NOM
inee, and cast their votes for Ed
ward Ridgley, of Dover. When the
last ballot was taken yesterday. six
of Higgins supporters who had tenn
porarily deserted his cause for E. G.
Bradford, returned to their first
choice, and the ex-senator received
seven votes at the close. Today there
were two ballots, and Mr.. Higgins
was only given one vote, a new man

ce1Vlng seven Of the Republican
votes. Addicks' lines remain un-
broken, his original supporters stick
ing to him. The hall was crowded.
and injection of new names into the
fight provided much food for gossip
and speculation.
The action of the Higgins support
ers in again leaving him today and
voting for Benjamin Fields is re-
garded as confirmation of their pur-
pose to do all in their power to elect
a senator and to force the Addicks

WASHINGTON, March 21-Contrary
to the reports that have been sent out
regarding the situation regarding the
surveyor generalship of Minnesota, the
interior department has not yet consid-
cred the matter. Secretary Smith today
authorized the statement that he has
not made any ruling whatever regard
ing the date of the termination of
Gen. Compton's term, and while the
Fergus Falls man may not be allowed
to hold four years from the date of
his confirmation, there is little doubt
that he will not be disturbed for some
time. While the woods are supposed to
be full of candidates, the papers of
only two are on file, and they are
Nathan Butler, of GAINESVILLE, the we'll
known Seventh district leader, and
John j. Ryder, the eloquent Rock
County editor, who made such an extra
ordinary run for the legislature last
fall. Among others who are understood
to be candidates and who will be
entered are Hon. P. H. Kirwin, of
Renville county, and ex-Auditor Bier

One WAY OF BOODLING
SECRETARY MORTON MAKES
SENSATIONAL STATEMENTS.
SOLONS SELL THEIR SEEDS.
One Hundred Members of Congress
Said to Be Implicated in the
Practice.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Since
Secretary Morton has been at the
head of the department of agricult-
ure he has opposed the present meth
Cd of seed distribution through con-
gressional agencies. He does not
believe that the money expended in
this way is productive of the good
that could be derived from other
methods which lie has recommended,
and which would be less costly to the
government. 1t has been represent
ed to the secretary that members of
congress have disposed of their
quotas of seed in a way not con-
templated by the law, and he re-
Gently took steps to ascertain the
truth of these statements. At his
direction the agent of the seed de-
parment negotiated for the purchase
r of members share, and the former
soon brought to the secretary the
written order of a member for fully
rs per cent of his annual quota,
which was offered for sale at SIS.
The purchase was made, and the
agent gave his check for the money,
which was indorsed by the member
and is now in the Secretary's pos
session. Secretary Morton also says
that he could recently have pur-
chased from a secondhand book
dealer in this city the quota allowed
to three members of congress for
$3.50 each. Besides these, he says he
has the names of probably a hun
dred members of congress who have
given orders for the transfer of their
entire quotas of seed, or a greater
portion of them, to other persons.
Some OF them are probably in ex-
change for patent Office reports and
other government publications, ac-
cording to the constituency of the
respective members He will print
all of these names in his next an
nual report, in order that the prac-
tice prevailing may be shown to the
public. The last agricultural appro-
priation bill provided for $3.50, 200 for
seed distribution for the fiscal year

ing the secretary suggests that only

LANDMARK GONE.
The Old Jackson Street Rink i.
Completely DestrOyeI

Fire swept the old Jackson street
rink from the face of the earth be-
tween 1918 and midnight, while the
firemen were still engaged on the blaze
at Schliek's. The loss may reach S.
900, though it is doubtful as the struc-
ture was of a fiimsy character and had
been hammered by the storms and
winds of many years. 1t was believed
to have been empty at the time of the
fire, though there were rumors flying
through the crowd that several fur
niture and buggy companies had used
it as warehouse The rumors could
not be verified at the time, and Chief
Jackson said it was his belief that the
building contained nothing beyond a
few dry old benches and musty recol-
lections.
The fire occasioned scenes of the Wild
est excitement. The crowds which had
vainly tried to find some excitement
in the Schliek blaze were electrified
to hear the sounding of an alarm
from box 62, followed by a second
alarm, and, turning their gaze in a
northerly direction We're pleased to see
the heavens fiery red and great build
ing burning not a great distance away.
In a little while these, with countless
hundreds more, had surrounded the
burning rink, and the fire apparatus
found it difficult forcing it's way through
the heavily packed throngs With the
assistance of several huge officers the
crowds were driven back to the side
walk and up in the yards of the resi-
dences opposite.
The building within ten minutes
after the alarm was sounded was a
mass of flames from end to end. and
Chief Jackson, seeing that the fire
would burn its way out in spite of
the efforts of his men, turned his at
tention to the adjoining property.
The wind was hurting great sparks
and cinders Through the air, and
some of these alighted on the board
ing house of Miss Sophia Neustel and
set fire to the roof in several places.
Chemical No. 4 was on hand and
promptly extinsuished the little fires
and wetted down the roof Other
squads of fremen performed a similar
Office for other residences in the line
of the wind and sparks.
The fire threw out such intense heat
that in short time the crowds were
driven back onto the sidewalk and
yards, and later down the side streets.
The building burned rapidly, and was
evidently as dry as tinder. Luckily
nothing adjoined it, but there were
residences on all sides, as the rink
was located on the corner of Jackson
and Tenth.
A bursting hose on this corner threw
a large section of the crowd into hu-
morous convulsions, and a straight
stream from the north side clear
through the burning building and ont
on the other side had a surprising and
ludicrous effect on several hundred
curiosity seekers.
One OF the supply wagons, on its
way to this fire up Minnesota street,
ran into a horse and buggy and
smashed the latter all 10 pieces.
Strangely enough, neither the horse
nor the occupants of the buggy were
injured.
1t was estimated that fully G.0O9 peo-
