THE WOODFORD NOTE
Mediation rendered, But Not Forced
Upon Spain.

Chicago, Oct. "A Washington
special to the Times Herald says:
1t is now possible for the Times-Her-
aid to give, not the exact text of the
famous Woodford note to Spain, but a
fair statement OF its substance.
This now celebrated and much. dis.
cussed document simply expressed on
the part OF the United States the hope
that the war will be brought to close
as speedily as possible. There is no
date fixed when the consummation il
to be reached, but the interests of
spain no less than the interests of the
United States and the interests of ,.u-
manity and of the world at large are
reasons why the war should be ended
with the least possible delay. And
with that in view, acting as friend of
spain, because of the great stake which
the United States has in Cuba. tinan-
clally and otherwise. because of the an
noyance to which the United States has
been put by maintaining patrol and
preventing the sailing of tilibusterlng
expeditions, and because civilization
opposes war, the United States tenders
70 spain its good Offices to act AS A
Trend between the mother country and
her rebellious colonists, in the hone
that she may be able to effect a settle
ment and bring the warfare to a close.
This is all there is in the note.
Inere Is not the faintest suggestion of
thls government forcing upon Spain her
good offices, if she does not care to vol
unfairly accpet them, nor is there An
intimation that the war must be
brought to an end within certain
time or that Spain must answer this
note within fixed time.

Provisions at Dawson.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 4.-William
Ogilvie, Dominion government survey
or in the Yukon country, arrived in
Victoria this morning. He says there
are provisions enough at Dawson for
1000 people for the winter. When he
left Dawson, July 10, there were 5000
there, but if, as it is reported, many
have left since then, the situation will
not be SO bad as feared. He saws there
is no use in trying to take in food with
dog trains. Mr. Ogilvie will probably
sail for Skaguay tomorrow morning on
the steamer Quadra.
Inspector Wood, of the Northwest
mounted police, who is in command of
the force that will accompany Major
Walsh, Dominion administrator of the
Yukon, arrived here today. He states
that Major Walsh and Hon. Clifford
Sifton, minister of the interior, will ar
rive here tomorrow, and will leave i'm
mediately for the Yukon on the Quadra.
Besides several more members of the
mounted police, a number of halfbreed
guides and dog drivers also arrived.
Inspector Wood states that he has or
ders to go along the trail as far as pos
sible, and then come back and report
as quickly as he can. The party will
travel by dog trains.

ATTACKED eY STRIKERS.
Edwardsville, ILL.,, Miners Roughly
Treated.


st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 4.-Early to-.
day the miners in the employ of the
Madison Coal Company at Edwards.
vile, H., while going to work were
attacked by strikers, including 30 OF
more women sympathizers. The strik.
ers threw stones and red pepper and
beat their opponents with clubs.
"Scotty" McAllison had his skull
crushed, and numerous others were cut
and bruised.
The miners fought rs best they could
with their tin dinner pals, and were
finally allowed to go to work. After
the attack the strikers and women
formed in line and marched through the
streets of Edwardsville shouting and
singing. No arrests were made.
The strikers, more than 300, with
the women, far outnumbered the work.
ers, who were guarded by force OF
deputy sheriffs on the way to the mine.
L. w. McCune, a deputy sheriff, in the
escorting posse, was disarmed and
dragged to one side, where crowd of
irate strikers beat him until he was AL
most unconscious. Though heavily
armed the sheriff's officers took their
drubbing without making any attempt
to use their arms. They were outnum-
oered ten to one, but they fought with
their fists.
Had shot been fired the consequent
oes would have been fearful, as the
strikers were frenzied.

THE PORTLAND STALLED.
Cannot Reach St. Michaels for Lack
of Coal.

San Francisco, Oct 4.-The revenue
cutter Rush arrived from Unalaska to-
day, bringing the latest news from st.
Michaels and the Yukon that came to
Unalaska from the north by the Alaska
Commercial Company's steamer Bertha.
The Bertha left st. Michaels Septem'
ber l4s On the 18th the steamer G.
II. Hamilton, belonging to the Chicago
corporation, returned to st. Michaels
and reported that she was unable to
ascend the Yukon above the flats near
Fort Yukon. Her passengers and cargo
were unloaded at Fort Yukon, and were
awaiting the arrival of the Alaska Com
mercial Company's steamers Margaret
and Alice for transportation to Dawson
City. These steamers, being OF lighter
draught, will get to Dawson City Sep
tember 90
At st. Michaels, despite the presence
of over 300 persons, order prevailed,
and the presence of the revenue cutter
Bear was regarded as an additional
guarantee to prevent any trouble. A
number of the Hamilton's passengers
were landed at Minook creek, where
quite big strike is reported, and
where there are plenty of pro, isions
for the whole party.
The Bear will remain at St. Michaels
until the arrival of the Humboldt, with
troops for the garrison,
The disabled steamer Eliza Anderson
will remain at Unalaska until next
spring.
The steamer Portland was at Dutch
harbor when the Rush left Unalaska.
Coal being scarce she was unable to
continue her voyage to st. Michaels,
but the passengers were sent north on
the Alaska Commercial Company's
steamer Bertha. The Portland will
probably return to Seattle without pro-
ceeding to st. Michaels. The steamer
frames and machinery she carried will
be landed at Dutch harbor, and a new
cargo of planking to replace that lost
on the schooner Hueneme will be sent
north, so that the steamer for the Yu.
kon can be built at Dutch harbor dur.
ing the winter.
The Rush reports that IL British
schoonors took $3.50 seals, and three
American schooners obtained S75 skins.

ROCK ISLAND HOLD-UP.
Neither Passengers Nor Train Crew
Escaped the Bandits.

Neither Passengers Nor Train Crew
Escaped the Bandits.
Ell Reno, o. T., Oct. 4.-Bandits
robbed the south-bound Rock Island
passenger train and all its passengers
at II O'Clock this morning, five miles
south of Minco, in Indian territory.
The trainmen were completely sur.
prised, and were not prepared to offer
any resistance when five masked men
came upon them at the lonely siding.
The place is uninhabited, and the only
persons in the vicinity at the time were
four section men. The section men
tagged the train, the robbers having
compelled them to do so. The bandits
were hidden in brush pile, and jump
ed out as soon as the train had taken
the siding.
Under hte pressure of Winchesters
and ugly looking six-shOoters, the train
men, express messenger and all of the
score or more of passengers were made
to leave the train and stand in line,
hands up, on the prairie. While three
of the robbers covered the badly fright.
ened crowd with their guns, the other
two coolly and carefully robbed them,
passing from one passenger to another
down the line. The bandits secured
about $500 in cash and such other valu-
ables in the way of watches, pins and
jewlery as were in sight.
Jim Wright, of Minco, showed dis
position to resist, when the bandits Or
dered "hands up" They shot one Of
his ears off to prove to his satisfaction
that his bravery was i'll assumed.
Wright's hands then went up. No one
else was injured.
The passengers and trainmen having
been thoroughly plucked, three of the
bandits turned their attention to the
express and mail coaches, the others
standing guard over the helpless crowd
on the prairie. The registered mail
pouches were quickly ritled, but the
through safe in the express car resisted
all the force and ingenuity of the road
agents. When the messenger had con-
vinced the bandits that he could not
open the strong box, they resorted to
dynamite. Several heavy charges were
exploded, but the safe proved bandit
proof, and, though badly battered, its
contents were saved to the company.
Having taken forcible possession of
everything they could carry away, the
bandits mounted thier horses and rode
off toward the west.
AT Chickasaw, the next station, a
posse of citizens was hurriedly formed.
These citizens set out in pursuit of the
gang, and officers have been dispatched
from Ell Reno and other points in this
section. 1t is hardly possible that the
bandits can be overtaken in the prairie
country, and they will probably be able
to reach the Wichita mountains.

STOCK YARDS INQUIRY.
Kansas Attorney-Ge VIII Try to SHOW
That Charges Can he Reduced.

Kansas Attorney-G General VIII Try to show
That Charges Can he Reduced.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May l9.-lt Is ex-
pected by the lawyers who are manag-
ing the stock yards inquiry that by
Wednesday the stock yards people will
have finished and the state will take
the lead in bringing out testimony,
either by extended cross examinations
that have been postponed or by put
ting on witnesses Of Its own selection.
Thus far the testimony has been to
show the great value Of the property
Of the stock yards, Its varied and
intricate relations with other in
terests and with interstate COM
merce; also the great value to the
west Of the market 1t affords The
Kansas Encouragement will show
that the business Is profitable. In
fact, If the little information from wit
nesscs yet TO be examined can be relied
upon, the history Of the company has
been one of rapid progress in acquiring
wealth and proves the wisdom Of the
men who first invested In stock. The
state will try to show that although
the company has S7,5oO,OOo capital
only about $2,O0O,000 was actu-
ally drawn from the stockhold-
ers in the east, the balance COM
ing from the profits Of the bust
ness. The reasonableness Of the Kan
sas law requiring the company to re-
duce its yardage and feed charges Is
material point in the case and while
the company is bending its energies to
show that 1t owns great investment,
the opposite side proposes If possible
to show thata reduction of the charges
such as the law contemplates would
leave it with an income large enough
to pay interest on the actual invest
mnut
