Harlem has always been famed for its

But the blasting had some particular

DICKEKING FOR FUSION.
Missouri PopuHst Committee is Talk
ing Over Fusion on State Tickets.

St Louis. Oct S.-Pursuant to a call
issued last week. the Popuhst state
comnittee met here today behind closed
doors one of the purposes of the
meeting it is stated, is to remove from
the state ticket Sheridan Webster, the
candidate for auditor who is charged
with desertiOn from the party 1t IS
not certain that another candidate VIII
be put in Webster's place, but it is
thought that it viii be left vacant in
order to carry out the scheme Of fusion
which the members of the PopuHst
committee expect viii be made today
on behalf Of the Democrats.
Those POpulists and Democrats who
are in favor of fusion on state issues
seem to feel much more confident Of
success than for some time The Pop
ulists first demands We're that they be
given lieutenant governor and railroad
commissioner but they finally decided
that they would be satisfied with at
torney general in the place of Heuten-
ant governor
Whether there viii be fusion in the
congressional districts has not yet been
decided, but may be settled within
few days. The POpuhsts want two con-
gressmen and if their demand is grant
ed they viii probably secure the Sew
enth and Fourteenth districts

AT first, 7 did not think Leedy and the
POpulist ticket would get nearly so

Salt Lake County Representatives
Will Support None Other for q.
S. Senator

Salt Lake. Utah. Oct S.@The Salt
nominated a county ticket and candi-
date for the legislature This county
furnishes nearly one-third of the mem
bers of the legislature and the action
may have an important bearing on the
choice of the next United States sen
ator- The resolutions adopted are in
part as follows:
eve maintain that the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to i, indie
pendent of the sanction of any foreign
nation, is q political issue paramount
to all others, and second only to this
issue is the protection of home industry
coupled with reciprocity with foreign
nations We pledge our legislative
candidates to strictly maintain these
principles and to vote for a candidate
for United States senator only who will
declare himself in full accord with
these nrinciples."

ACATH0LIC SHAKE Up.
NartinelH VIII Change the Whole
American Policy of the Church.

New York, Oct 8.-The deposition of
Bishop Keane from the rectorship Of
the Catholic university at Washington
which was announced Immediately af-
ter the arrival of Mgr. MartinelH, the
new papal delegate, has been regarded
as the first sign Of a movement that is
to shake the entire American Catholic
hierarchy. There has been friction be-
tween the uItramotane and the liber-
al factions ever since Archbishop Ire
land took his memorable stand on the
American school question.
A prominent layman Of New York
whose influence at Rome has always
been recognized, says.
1T means HOthing less than a restO-
ration OF the supremacy of the ultra
montana, or clerical party in the
American church As such lit must be
regarded as the most important In the
history Of the church, since Archbishop
ireland appealed to Rome to sustain
him as against the clericals, and es-
pecially the archbishop of New York

New York, Oct. 8-The Western IN
ion Telegraph company has done moth
ing yet toward renewing its contract
with the American Bell Telephone
company, which viii expire in about
three weeks. The present contract has

From Five Railroads.

Chicago. Oct. 8.-Secret service agents
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road have arrested the members and
stopped the operations of the most
skillful, as well as successful gang of
freight car pilferers with whom the
railroad detectives of Chicago have had
to deal in many years It IS known
thus far that five railroads, the North
western, Burlington, Great Western.
Wisconsin Central and Rock Island,
have suffered through the operations Of
the gang, and it is believed not less
than $40, 600 worth of property has been
stolen within the last six months
w. It. johnson, c. W. Parker, J. G.
Miller, charged with conspiracy and
robbery, and G. T. Hamsburger charg-
ed with receiving stolen property, have
been arrested in connection with the
case. They planned their work so that
one member of the gang was shipped
by freight in a huge box marked house
hold goods Augur holes in the box
provided air for the occupant, and food,
water and candles were also supplied
him before the start.
When the train in which the car was
taken out had proceeded so or rs miles
from the city the man in the box, who
was also supplied with tools. released
merchandise repacked it in the box
he had vacated, nailed up the rified
cases, and saving a hole in the floor of
the car escaped in the darkness when
