NEvADA's GOVERNOR PLEASED.

Benefit of the State.

Carson, New, March POT don't

ernor Sadler, in discussing the Fitz-
simmons-C Corbett fight. "On the con-
trary, it will be a benefit to the west
ern portion of Nevada by bringing peo-
pie here who spent some money and
when they go home they will talk about
our state. Some of them saw the mines
at Virginia City and will talk about
them, and it may result in some east
ern people coming here to locate"

not because of any decision of the king
or cabinet, but because of the resent
ment for the army. The Chronicle cor
respondent, who Is Henry Norman, says
this opinion sums up the result OF his
visit to the frontier, and then adds:
."The Greek fleet, which visisted yes
terday. and whose whereabouts are un-
known to the foreign legations, Is
watching Turkish torpedo boats off one
of the northern islands. I should advise
the German warship Kaiserin Augusta
to avoid this fleet, which Is eagerly
awaiting her."
A special from Galatz, Roumania,
SAYS It is announced there In Greek cir
cles that plot is being hatched among
the Greeks at Constantinople where
there are 10000 well-armed Greeks liv-
ing, to revolt against the government.
IL is added that there are few Turkish
troops now at Constantinople except the
sultan's bodyguard. and that ii would
be impossible to hurriedly recall troops
from the Greek frontier in the event OF
n revolt at Constantinople.

Houston, Tex, March 20.-Walter
Hughes, carpenter and ex-employe or
the Southern Pacific railway, met his
death at the hands of Detectives Eli

proposed to Sol Edel, a saloonkeeper,
to abduct the children of Berry w.
Camp, a rich lawyer, and Frank Dunn,
a wealthy pawnbroker. and to- demand
from the fathers a ransom of $4,000.
According to Edel's statement, he did
not give Hughes an answer, but in
formed Chief of Police Helm Of the
proposal which had been made to him.
Under Helms instructions he pretended
to accept the offer Of Hughes and en-
tered into the plot, maintaining COM

Camp and Dunn were informed OF the
plan.
Hughes, in order to carry out the
plan. took a cottage near the Dunn

REPORTS OF MINORITY
Two May Be Presented on the
Tariff Bill.
THE POSITION TAKEN BY BAILEY.

He VIII Write the Main Minority Report
Dut Some of the Democratic Members of
the Ways and Means Committee May
Refuse To Sign It-vote ON the Tariff
Bill To BE Taken in the House on March
81 Washington Notes.
Washington, March 20.-Discussions
nave arisen among the Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee which may result in the presen-
tation of two minority reports on the
tariff bill. Bailey of Texas, who is at
the head of the minority committee
In virtue Of his position, will write the
main report, but it is not improbable
that some of the Democratic members
will decline to sign it, Bailey differs
from his Democratic colleagues radical
ly on the subject of free wool and
Thursday when McMillin and Wheeler
offered amendments in the committee.
the former to place wool on the free list
and the latter to make the maximum
duty collected on woods not to exceed
rs per cent. ad volorem, he voted
against the McMilln amendment and
declined to vote on that offered by Gen
eral Wheeler.
Opposed Free Raw Materials.
Bailey takes the position that the
Chicago platform by implication OPP
posed free raw materials and especially
free wool, the prodvct of the west. The
plank of the Chicago platform holds
that tariff duties should be levied for
purposes of revenue, schedules to be so
adjusted as to operate equally through
out the country and not discriminate
between class or section" McMillin
and several Of the other Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee who are ardent silver men, cling
to the free wool idea, and claim that
the Chicago platform does run counter
to their position. But some Of the DEM
ocratic members like General Wheeler,
who favor free wool, are still opposed
to free coal and iron, which were classed
as raw materials" by the supporters
| of the original Wilson bill. In fact,
General Wheeler made speech against
] these features of that bill.
May BE Smoothed Over.
| In addition to the dissensions over the
! question of free wool and other free
| raw materials there is a strong inti-
nation that Robertson OF Louisiana,
( one of the new Democratic members OF
the committee, will in words, indorse
the sugar schedule. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the present complications
may be smoothed out in some way and
! that Bailey may be able to write re-
| port in which all his Democratic col
| leagues can join. Efforts to this END
are now being made as the Democrats
| are extremely anxious TO go into the
] tariff fight with a solid and united
I front.

TO STOP FIGHT PICTURES.
Illinois Representative Thinks They would
Have a Demoralizing Effect.

Springfield, Ills, March 2o.-There
was an echo of the big Nevada prize
fight in the house Friday and one that
will startle the country at that. This
Is nothing more or less than bill pro-
hibiting the exhibition in the state OF
Illinois of pictures Of the great battle.
In other words, If the bill is passed, II
will stop Dan Stuart's kaleidoscope ex-
hibitions and deprive the big fight pro-
moter of the rich harvest which he
would surely have reaped from this
state.
Representative LaMonte Of Cook
county Is the author of the bill and says
he means to push 1t to a passage. The
bill is not long one. In short pre-
ambie the reasons for its introduction
the demoralizing effects of such pro-
posed exhibition and so forth are set
out. and then severe penalties are pro-
vided, not only for those who show the
pictures. but also for persons attending
performances at which such pictures
are displayed

SEVERE WIND STORM.
Considerable Damage Caused at Jackson,
Miss.-Wires Down.

Jackson, Miss, March 20.-A severe
wind storm struck Jackson Friday
morning about 6 o'clock, coming from
the southwest and accompanied by
heavy downpour of rain. So far as
known there has been no loss of life,
although heavy trees were blown up by
the roots, houses unroofed, fences and
outbuildings destroyed, and signs blown
away. Jackson is entirely isolated in
the matter of telegraphic communica-
tion and on account of that nothing can
be heard from the surrounding coun-
try, but it is probable that serious dam
age has been done. 1t is reported from
Glendale, Miss, that the levee has
broken there and than Lake Tchula has
risen feet. 1t is reported from Ray
mond Miss, that the property at Coop
er's Wells, a summer resort near there,

st. Louis, March 20.-Advices from
Caruthersville, Mo-, town on the Mis-
sissppi river bank in the extreme
southeastern part of the state, are to
the effect that a levee fifty miles below
that place Is reported to have broken
and that seventeen lives have been lost.
The river continues to rise at Caruth-
ersville and the pressure on the levee Is
great. All weak spots are being
strengthened, but the work is handi-
capped by rain as the earth used in
repairs is turned into mud. Many fam
lilies living on the river bank in the
county have abandoned their houses
and taken refuge in Caruthersville. A
large amount or stock has been lost on
the Tennessee side of the river, almost
the entire bottom for miles being inun-
dated. The levee near Cottonwood,
about eight miles from Caruthersville,
is expected to break almost any hour
and overflow that part of the country.
