Dweilers ON Minneapolis Flats Move
Out In a Hurry.

Dwellers ON Minneapolis Flats Move
Out I'm a Hurry.
At Minneapolis, MIMI, the Mississippi
went on tear late Wednesday night and
dwellers along the flats moved out In q
hurry. A huge ice jam which had formed
in the river at AID avenue north broke
and an immense volume of water, with
big cakes of ice and thousands of feet OF
logs, went tearing down the river and
over st. Anthony Falls. The water rose
two feet inside of half an hour, edging
it's way up the river banks until the floors
of many of the houses were well under
water. One mill man estimates that %
100000 feet of logs were swept away.
Both the bridges Mt Goth avenue north
and at Plymouth avenue are reported in
danger. The damage may reach $780,
600. At Wahpeton. n. d., the water in
the Red and Boise de Sioux Rivers is two
feet above the danger mark, about the
highest ever known. The ice has risen
with the water, and Is threatening all the
bridges on the line of those streams.
Strenuous efforts are being made to save
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
the wagon bridges. Dynamite has been
used in breaking the ice both above, be-
low and between the bridges, and there
are some hopes now of saving the railroad
bridges. but the road bridge seems to be
doomed

uopes % neach the North Pole with
Dog o1e1goa,
Lieut.. Peary recently laid . plan for
arctic research before the council of the
American Geographical Society. The
plan includes the reaching OF the north
pole. IL was heartily Endorsed BY the
council and subscription toward its ac-
complainant promised. Should either
plan succeed the United States win reap
the glory. Lieut.. Peary's plan, AZ now
matured, II considered by arctic explorers
one of the most feasible yet advocated.
First of all. 1t II not to be an expedition In
the usual sense of the term. 1t will. be-
sides Lieut.. Peary himself. include only
one or two white men. II one. he will be
a surgeon, and II two, the other Will be q
scientist. The party will be conveyed ny
a chartered whaler to the point on the
western coast of Greenland which Peary
has so often made his basis of exploration.
At this point live tribe Of Eskimos-
They form the most northerly settlement
of human beings, so far as is known, upon
the globe. They know the explorer and
have every confidence In him. From them
he will select five or six young married
couples, and will with them push along
the northwest coast of Greenland as tar
as possible, and perhaps into the archi-
pelago which, 1t is believed. surrounds the
north pole. All their goods. including
dogs and sledges. will be taken with them.
and when no further progress can be
made north they and Lieut.. Peary and
his companions will be landed ut some pro-
pitious spot and new colony formed.
The ship will leave supply of provisions
for three or more years and make its way
back to civilization before the ice closes
in. From this basic point the two or three
white men will make their explorations.
Lieut.. Peary figures that this colony will
not be over 800 miles from the pole. The
Eskimos will be able to Withstand the eli
mate, and he believes they will be con-
tented as long as they have enough food.
The women will be taken along to do the
cooking and attend to the clothing and
footgear. As soon as the ice conditions
are propitious an attempt will be made to
reach the pole. The Eskimos and their
dog sledges will be used If possible. but in
any case the white explorers will push on
until the Stars and Stripes have been
planted near, if not on. the pole itself.

JAP COOLIES RIOT IN HAWAII.
Interpreter Beaten to Death by SUI
gar Plantation Laborers.

Interpreter Beaten to Death by SUI
gar Plantation Laborers.
The schooner Transit, arrived from
Honolulu, brings the news of riot among
the japanese coolies employed on the SUI
gar plantation on the island of Maui.
Three hundred japanese beat one of their
number to death and afterward beat his
body to pulp with clubs. The murdered
man was an interpreter named Kawata.
He was accused of wrong doing in regard
to money intrusted to him and for over
charging them for services rendered as in
terpreter. A number of white men tried
to preserve order and save Kawata's life.
but they were too few to cope with the
crowd and were obliged to fee. AS soon
as the news of the murder reached Wni-
lulu Sheriffs Scott and Dow, with num-
Der of deputies visited the plantation. and
though many threats were made by the
japanese, four of the ringleaders were ar
rested and taken to the Jail at Wailulu.
The coolies planned an assault on the Jail.
but before the mob reached ii the sheriffs
were notified and they called upon the
Citizens Guard for assistance. The
guard, with a number of armed volun-
teers, turned out to protect the jail. The
Japanese were ordered to return to their
plantation Immediately, with the alterna-
tive of being fred upon within five min
utes. They slowly dispersed and went
back to their houses, but it is believed had
not the strong stand been made the band
of coolies would have destroyed the jail
and overrun the northern part of Maui.

the Cuban General Rivera.
Havana dispatch: 1t has just trans
PRED that Rivera was captured in hos
pital and not in battle, as the official re-
ports alleged. Rivera had been wounded
in a skirmish two days previous to his
capture and when seized was receiving
treatment in a Cuban hospital. He had
with himNhis staff and 100 men. The at
tack on the hospital was made by 4.6O0
Spanish troops under Hernandez Velasco.
Rivera, though wounded, endeavored to
cut his way out but fell, pierced by two
more bullets. Acting Captain General
Ahumada has received orders from Min
lister of War Azcarraga, at Madrid, not
to try Gen. Ruis Rivera Immediately by
court martial. The Minister thinks that
a summary court martial, followed by the
shooting of Rivera and Baccaloa, would
have bad effect in Europe. The Span
ish general, Velasco, has been instructed
to offer Rivera a pardon on condition that
he use his influence to induce Briggs. Du-
caisse, Vidal, and Delgado, and other in
surgent leaders in Pinar del Rio to sur
render under the amnesty decree. Del
gado said ne would lay down his arms to
save Rivera's life on condition that he
himself and his immediate followers be

TAKE OUT A MILLION.
How the Bucket Shops of Chicag
"Work" the Country.

How the Bucket Shops or Chicago
"work" the Country.
John Hill, Jr, chairman of the COM
mittee on gambling of the Chicago Civic
Federation, has been at Eldora, Iowa,
before the Hardin County grand jury. 1t
Is claimed he secured some valuable in
formation affecting the bucket shops al
legged to be running In that part of the
State.
1t is claimed it has been proved to the
satisfaction of the grand jury that GER
tain produce and stock exchange of Chi
cago is doing a bucket shop business. 1t
is claimed there that the institution-act-
ing for the Chicago concern-took $3S,OOO
out of Hardin County in one week last
January. and has secured from the peo-
ple of Iowa over $1.000,OOO during the
last four months. A large number of
prominent business men, farmers and
young men are among the principal losers.
Mr.. Hill has the names of many losers,
as well as evidence in the cases. He
claims that agents of the bucket shops are
travelling over Iowa Systematically organ
hing the business, and that the main
evidence is to the effect that two former
employees prove that the business Is only
not in the open market.
In an interview at Eldora Mr.. Hill said
few people had any adequate idea Of the
extent to which the State of Iowa Is being
drained to enrich the bucket shop proprie-
tors of Chicago, and that his mission now
Is to secure evidence throughout the coun-
try districts that would convict those men
and drive them out of the business, which,
he asserts, has no connection whatever
with legitimate market quotations or spec
ulation in actual transactions on the
Board of Trade, but is a system of gam
bling in which the operator has every ad-
vantage. no matter how prices may fiuctu-
ate. and the patron is inevitably loser
If he stays in after the initiatory stage of
the game.
Public sentiment in Eldora is largely
against the bucket shops, and much con-
demnation has been poured out against
the commission company by press and pull
nit. One minister there directed one of
his sermons as an attack upon the local
concern. Young men there have been
drawn into the place, and some Of them
have lost about all they had on wheat.
A suit has been commenced in the courts
by w. f. Beck, an attorney, charging
fraud. One of the reasons of the grand
Jury continuing this investigation was in
order to obtain positive proof whether the
commission company Is an authorized
agency of the Chicago institution.
The Chicago house has leased wires
from the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany running through Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio and Iowa. 1t establishes agencies
IN snail towns where no other bucket shop
or legitimate house Is represented, its OBJ
feet being. apparently, to avoid compare
sons of prices with the quotations of Other
houses.

leaves a cash balance in the treasury of

a surplus for the month of $9,OO4,665.
This excess is due almost entirely to in

By an explosion in the east end of the
northwest land tunnel at Chicago Tues
day morning two men were instantly kill
ed, four were seriously injured and FIVE
others received slight wounds. The scene
of the explosion was in the face of the
workings 400 feet east of the shaft. The
dead men were working Immediately over
the spot where the explosion occurred and
they were torn to pieces. The other men.
with but one or two exceptions, were
working within few feet of the scene of
the explosion. The accident came without
warning, and none had a chance to avoid
the danger. The men were suddenly lift
ed from their feet and hurled against the
walls of the tunnel. They were blinded
by smoke and crushed by falling rock and
earth. With the aid of men from the sur
face the dead and wounded were carried
to the shaft and hoisted to the surface.
Assistant Engineer III. j. Jackman, who
superintends the work for the city, went
into the workings after the accident. In
the mass of debris he found stick of
giant powder which had failed to explode.
This fact leads him to believe unexploded
sticks of dynamite caused the explosion,
having been ignited by the explosion of
one of the electric lights which illuminate
the tunnel. Superintendent William En-
mis- also holds the same theory. Others
believe the men exploded the giant powder
by striking it with their pickaxes or show
els while at work. Contractor Council Of
the firm of Fitz-Simons x Council, who
is in charge of the work, advances the
theory that the explosion was due to nat
ural gas. The shock of the explosion was
felt for blocks along the lake front, and
caused hundreds to hurry to the tunnel.
AS soon as the fatal result of the accident
became known to the workmen in the west
tunnel they refused to work longer, and
operations on the entire tunnel were at n
standstill
