Shooting ARRAY in tho Streets

Last night about $3.50 o'clock on Dock
street between Front and Water streets
two negroes fell out, and although there
was a great crowd around the medl-
cine mans stand and in the street at
the time, one of them drew a pistol and
fired at the other. The man who was
shot at dropped to the ground and the
shooter, believing hat he had brought
down his man, wheeled and ran away
before a policeman could get to the
scene.
The man who was down jumped up
and also burnt the wind. 1t is believed
that his assailant missed him and that
he fell to avoid a second shot. If he
was hit, it did not t~ranspire whether
he applied to a surgeon or not. No one
knew either Of the men.

THE CABINET IN SESSION
Some Discussion of Cuban Affairs But no
Definite Action Taken-Report That the
Union Pacific Syndicate Would Increase
it's Bid Confirmed

Washington, October S.-The cabinet
was in session for an hour and a half
today, all members being present ex-
cept Secretary Gage. Foreign affairs
did not occupy much of the time and
the discussion was devoted mostly TO
the forthcoming and annual reports of
the several heads of the departments.
These reports, or an abstract of them,
are desired by the president, so that
they may be discussed in his annual
message to congress.
There was some discussion of the
Cuban question and the sea confer
ence but, owing to the fact that both
these matters are in a transitory con-
dition, no definite action was decided
upon. The president had hoped to Sc
cure a reply to his representations to
Spain during the present month, but
it was stated at the meeting that the
Spanish cabinet crisis probably would
cause delay in this matter.
There was more or less speculation
on the part Of members as to what
would be the temper n character of
the reply when it should be received
and the opinion was general that the
new ministry would manifest a desire
to cultivate friendly relations with
this country. The desire of the admin
istration appeared to be to meet these
advances if they are accompanied by
a policy on the part OF Spain toward
Cuba that will hasten the close Of the
war in accordance with American ideas.
1t is recognized that some time will be
necessary to demonstrate the policy of
the Sagasta cabinet, and the presi-
dents advisers are understood general
ly to favor the policy of allowing q
reasonable time before following up the
first note delivered by Minister Wood
ford with another of more pressing
character, as originally had been in
tended in case the first note should not
bring a satisfactory reply.
The meeting also developed a onfir-
nation of the report hat the Union
Pacific syndicate had agreed to in
crease it's bid to the government to
$50, OOO, 900 and that the attorney gen.
eral, in view of this fact, had decided
not to appeal the case, but to allow the
sale to proceed.
