conceded fact that the skirt with fan

NlXON'S AMBITION.
Evidently Crushed in the Bud by
the Chairman of the Nevada State
Central Committee.

Virginia City. New. Jan. 6.-Owing
to the announcement of George Nixon,
of Winnemucca, that he would contest
with Senator John P. Jones for the
United States senate, John r. Ryan,
chairman of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee, made the following
statement last evening:
The Nevada Democracy effected
fusion with the silver party at the
silver party state convention held at
Elko, Sept 8, 1896 That convention in
its platform said: We are in favor of
the election of Hon. John P. Jones for
United States senator This certainly
committed both the Democratic and
the Silver parties to his support. When
voting for legislative candidates on the
Silver party or fusion ticket, the voter
presumed he was voting for men, who,
if elected, would vote for Mr.. Jones
for United States senator. Any citizen
has a perfect right to be a candidate
for United States senator, but he ought,
at least, to announce his candidacy
before the battle has been fought and
won by another who stands prominent
ly before the people as candidate.
In expressing these views as chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, am sure 1 reflect the views of the
Democracy of the state which entered
the campaign in good faith and intends
to maintain that faith to the end"

Chicago, Jan. "A special to a
morning paper from Cleveland says:
For the third time, Senator William
b. Allison has declined the prOffer of
an Ohio-born president to accept a
position.
This is the position President-elect
Mckinley finds himself in as the re-
suit Of his visit to Canton and his con-
ference with Senator Allison. 1t is the
same position in which Garfield and
Harrison found themselves after SINH
lar applications had been made to the
stalwart Iowa statesman to leave his
place in the senate for the portfolio off
a cabinet minister. The answer given
by Senator Allison to the appeal of his
Ohio friend and admirer was as suave
and diplomatic as possible. When the
Iowa senator was leaving the home
of the president-elect he said to him:
God bless you and yours is my
prayer" then Major Mckinley knew
all his former calculations, with the
one exception of Cornelius n. Bliss,
had been upset, and that he must
practically begin anew within less than
two months of the day of his inaugur-

DONNELLY'S IDEAS.
Ignatius Tells Why the Farmers

St Paul. Jan. at the state confer

Someone has asked me what is the
reason the alliance has fallen away. and

that there was a desire to work the alli-

alliance ticket in the field. Out OF this
grew the Peoples party. When that oc-

FEAR ANNEXATION,
For That Reason Canadians Form
Patriotic Vigilance Committees

toronto, Ont, Jan. 6.-The Globe to-
day publishes a circular which it says
mas peen sent to Protestant clergymen
ana leading citizens through Ontario.
The circular is dated Ontario, Dec. 30.
1886, and is headed: Patriotic Vigil
ance Committee" and marked conf
Dental, and begins as follows: THE
gravity of the crisis brought upon the
country by the result of the elections
or last June, and the announcement
thereby given TO the diSlOyal elements
OF our population has caused the
formation of patriotic vigilance COM
mlttee by few citizens determined to
MAINTAIN, by all means in their power,
the honor and integrity of the British
flag and Dominion of Canada"
Proceeding, it says that IAN insid-
1ous conspiracy has for several
months been at work throughout the
dominion aiming at the overthrow of
the authority of our gracious sover-
elgn, the queen, and others and the
annexation of our beloved country to
the United States.
Behind what is ostensibly political
moV>nent. is plainly to be seen the
hand of the Roman Catholic church,
the ever watchful enemy of Protest
ant liberty
The committee, therefore, calls for
the organization in every district of a
patriotic vigilance committee to as
certain and record the views of all
whom there is reasonable ground for
suspecting of being in sympathy with
this movement and to take such steps
as may suggest themselves to check
their further spread and manifestation

New York. jan. 6.-The Suns Ha-
vana special says: The Spanish news
papers here violently attack the Amer
Jean representative, Mr.. Money for
violating the laws of war proclaimed
by the Spanish authorities and which
forbid all Investigations in the mill
tary camps not expressly sanctioned
by the commandments Oh the az
my.
Horrible details are known in Havana
of the transformations last week at
Guanabaco by order of the Spanish
major, Fondeviella. The bodies OF the
young baseball players, PASTORAL,
PARA ana Neustillo, murdered by the
troops without cause, were left TO the
dogs to be eaten. The families OF the
three unfortunate young men applied
TO Fondeviella asking permission TO
bury the bodies.
Bodies of Cubans'' answered Fon-
deviella, ARE fit only to feed to dogs.
The mothers and sisters who called
on the cruel Spanish commander, mop
ing that their human and sacred wish
would be- granted. left him in tears,
crying to heaven for revenge.
About so Cuban families have fled
from Guanabacoa to Havana, terror
lied by the nassacres and the present
insecurity of life. Weyler does not
pay the least attention to the charges
made against Fondeviella, and merely
says when he mentions him: he IS
a good man, doing his duty and, like
every man who does his duty, ne is
illuminated by the Cubans-
In Havana the same terror prevails,
and the only Cuban families remain
ing in the capital are those who have
relatives or acquaintance among the
Spanish authorities or those who are
absolutely without means to leave the
country Among the latter the men do
not know what their fate may be from
day to day Arrests are made daily,
the charge being only that the vic
TINS sympathize with the revolution.
It is not true that General Gomez
has issued a proclamation ordering
his troops TO retaliate against Spanish
barbarities. 1t is said here, however,
that Gomez has written TO Weyler,
telling him that if the Spanish policy
of assassination continues ana also
the massacre OF prisoners and wound
ed, he will be obliged to retaliate
Yours and yours only says Gomez, /

WEYLER'S LATEST.

Bloody Purpose Behind It.

Havana, Jan. 6.-Another edict has
been issued by General Weyler, under
which all owners, managers and over
seers of estates and farms in the prov
inces of Pinar del Rio, Havana. and
Matanzas shall, within eight days from

all cases where the authorities discover
any irregularities in the statements,
the person subjected to examination
will be obliged to remove at once to the
fortified towns nearest their homes. All
foreign residents of the three provinces
named who are EMPLOYED in agricul-
tural or industrial pursuits, either as
owners. managers or overseers, must
prove their nationality and furnish full
information regarding the persons en-
ployed by them, exhibiting their police

SALT RIVER RAGING.
RAISES THREE FEET AND
BREAKS ITS BANKS.
Woodchoppers Who Were in the vi
cinity Forced to Treetops and
Houseroofs in Order to Save Their
Lives.

St Louis, Jan. 6.-Early this morning,
the steamboat Pike landed here 50 wood
choppers that had been picked up from
tree tops and houseroofs in the lowlands
north of Louisiana, Mo, yesterday.
Two hundred woodchOppers employed
b. local lumber concerns We're at work
on the prairie lands bordering on the
Mississippi, lying directly north of Louis
lana. The place has been studded with
tents The men and their families have
cam9ed there for the past month.
The Mississippi had been rising rapidly,
but no immediate danger was expected.
Early Tuesday, Salt river, directly
north. rose three feet, breaking over its
banks and flooded the lowlands. Joseph
LOWER of st. Louis, a section foreman,
torS2W the danger, but arrived at the
WoodchoDDerS' camp too late for them to
escape. He was aStride a horse. Follow
ing him came the roaring If the waters.
There was d rush for the highest point
and those fortunate enough to have
cabins sought safety on the roof.
The narrow strips of high land were
covered with shivering humanity. The
night was we'll advanced. Bonrires on
the highlands kept the wOodchonpers
from freezing until daylight, when they
We're rescued with skiffs and RATS. The
Pike picked up many of them.
At Reading Switch, four miles north,
al the mouth of the Salt river. the whole
land for miles around is under water.
The St. Louis. Keokuk & Northwestern
railroad tracks were submerged. There is
danger of the railroad bridge across Salt
river being swept away.
This morning two expeditions left
Louisiana-one north and the other south
on a search for flood victims. Mayor
Hart leads in the move, and has started
. fund TO defray expenses. Three St.
Louis & San Francisco passenger trains
are held near st. Clair, Mo, by a wash
out. One of the trains was due in st.
Louis yesterday morning, another last
night and the third this morning. Even
the Frisco officials are unable to tell
when they viii be able to bring their
trains into st. Louis, but they expect to
do so some time tonight. More than 800
feet of track has been washed away by
the rise of the Maumee river. A large
force of men has been at work day and
night since the washout repairing the
break. Much dissatisfaction is prevailing
among the passengers. who are eager to |
reach st. Louis. The washout is so miles !
from St. Louis. The Missouri river and !
its tributaries, the Usage and the Gas |
conde. are falling, as is also the Missis- /
sippi above Grafton. Ills.
The Illinois and the Mississippi below !
Grafton are still rising.
