the election has given the New York
publication an undue advantage, the
secretary being one OF its officers
Mayor Quincy is quoted by Mayor
Black as saying that the convention
made great mistake yesterday, and
that it would result in the formation
of an antagonistic society, which would
be limited to the officials of the larger
cities beginning with those of the size
of Columbus and taking in those of a
greater population.
The league redeemed itself this morn
ing to some extent fromth effects of it's
questionable action of yesterday after
noon by passing the following resolu-
ton, introduced by Hon. Albert j.
Boardman, of Tampa Fla:
Whereas, This national conference Of may
ors and members of city councils has been in
formed that the United States department of
labor has undertaken an investigation of wa
ter, gas and electric lighting works. and a
clear outline Of the methods, form and pur-
poses Of this investigation has been given by
Allen Ripley Foote, in a paper read before
this conference; and,
Whereas, The Hon. Carroll D. Wright,
United States commissioner of labor has an
nounced that the object of this investigation
Is to enable municipalities and the citizens
thereof to determine whether there Is eco
nomic advantages to the consumers in the
municipal ownership and operation of water,
gas and electric lighting works;
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
ference that the executive and legislative
olscers of all municipalities, and the managers
of public service corporations, should prompt
ly and cordially do whatever may become nee
essary on their part to expedite the work of
this investigation, to the end that through
it statistics may be secured that will be ac-
cepted by all persons as reliable basis for
comparisons.

NOT AN ULTlNATUN.
Alleged Substance of the
Famous Woodford Note.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA Washington
special to the Times-Herald says: 1t is
now possible for the Times-Herald to
give, not the exact text of the famous
Woodford note to; Spain, but fair
statement of it's substance. This now
celebrated and much discussed docu-
ment simply expresses on the part OF
the United States the hope that the
war will be brought to close as rap
idly as possible, but there is no date
fixed when that consummation is to be
reached, and that the interests of
Spain, no less than the interests of the
United States. the interests of human
ity and the interests 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 a
friend of Spain, because of the great
stake which the United States has ill
Cuba, financially and otherwise, be-
cause of the annoyance to which the
United States has been put by main
tanning patrol over and preventing
the sailing of filibustering expeditions
and because civilization opposes WaI,
the United States tenders it's services
to act as a friend between the mother
and her rebellious colony in the hope
that she may be able to effect a set
tlement and bring the warfare to a
close
This is all there is in the note. There
is not the faintest suggestion of this
government forcing upon Spain hel
good offices if she does not care to vol
unfairly accept them, nor is there an
intimation that war must be brought to
an end by a certain time, or that Spain
must return an answer to this note by
a fixed date

Fever Spreading Rapidly.
Low Death Rate the Only Encouraging Feature
OF the Situation in the South

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. To-day was
again something of a record breake.
in the matter of new cases. They crop
ped up in all directions, but up to G
o'clock the death record was still low.
The fever is rapidly spreading in many
directions, but the large majority of
case are of harmless type. The
weather is warm, and the conditions
excellent for new cases. But the death
percentage has been falling consider
ably below the record of 1878. There
were four deaths and twenty-nine new
cases today. The deaths up to 6 O'CLOCK
were: Antonio Sincoa, $40 ST. Philip;
Paul A. Soncia. 54 st. Philip; Paul
ST. Philip, 1906 Chartres street.
The most important new case is Rev
Mr.. Warner, the pastor of Trinity
church. His case is mild one. Rich
and poor alike have been stricken to-
day, and the board of health reports
seem to show that the best drained
and kept streets present new cases
just as do those which are minus SANTA
ton. The authorities continue to keep
the waterworks plugs open, and every
gutter is filled with running water
A number of cases, some ten or more
were discharged today as cured
Among them is Mrs. A. T. Wimberly.

Gus houses in which sickness has &C.

IL TRIM ROBBED

Ell Reno, o. T.. Oct. bandits
robbed the southbound Rock Island
passenger train and all it's passengers
at II o'clock this forenoon at siding
No l., about five miles south of Min
Goa, in the Indian Territory. The rail
road and express officials have feared
a hold-up in that section for several
weeks, and armed guards have been
put aboard all night trains at Ell Reno
and carried through TO Chickasha. 1t
had not been thought that the outlaws
were bold enough to attack a train i'll
midday.
This morning the trainmen were COM
pletely surprised, and they were not
prepared to offer any resistance when
five masked men came upon them at
the lonely siding. 5A
The place is uninhabited, the only
persons in the vicinity at the time be-
ing four section men. These section
men tagged the train, the robbers hav-
ing compelled them to do SO. The
bandits were hidden at the time in u
brush pile and jumped out as soon as
the passenger train had taken the sid
ing. Under the pressure of Winches-
ters and ugly looking six-shooters the
trainmen, the express messenger and
all of the score or more of passengers
were made to climb down from the
train and stand in a line hands up on
the prairie along the railway While
three of the robbers covered the badly
frightened crowd with their guns, the
other two cOoI1V and carefully robbed
them, passing from one passenger to
another down the line. The bandits
secured about $500 in cash and such
other valuables in the way of watches,
pins and jewelry as were in sight.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-10-02
Held Up at a Lonely
Siding in Indian Ter
ritory and Looted at
High Noon.

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 rifled, but the
through safe in the express car re-
sisted all the force and ingenuity of
the road agents. When the messen-
gers had convinced the robbers they
could not open the strong box, they re-
sorted to: dynamite. Several heavy
charges We're exploded, but the safe
proved bandit-proof, and though it
was badly battered, its contents were
saved to the express company.
Having taken forcible possession of
everything they could carry away, the
bandits mounted their horses and rode
off toward the west AS soon as the
trainmen could collect their wits they
got the scared passengers aboard and
hurried en- to the next station south,
Chickasha, from which point the rail-
road officials were notified of the hold
up. At Chickasha a posse of citizens
was hurriedly formed They 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 reacn
the Wichita mountains to the west of
the scene of the hold-up. officers here
believe the gang to be the same one
that held Santa Fe trains up at Ed
munds twice during the last month.
The few women passengers were not
compelled to give up their valuables.
and Rev. Mr.. Roe, one of the passen-
gers, who was sick, was not compelled
to leave the coach. Jim Wright, of
Minco, showed an inclination to resist
when the bandits ordered "hands up"
They shot one of his ears off to prove
to their true Workmanship. W.
hands then went up. No one else was
injured

PROTEST In VAIN.
A Former Premier Refuses
His Support, But Lacks
Following to Cause
Serious Trouble.

ATHENS, Oct. 2.-Midnight-M. ZaI.
mis- has consented to form a cabinet.
M. Skouloudis, minister of foreign af-
fairs in the Ralli cabinet, will probably
retain the foreign office portfolio. NJ.
Delyannis has informed King George
that he will support no cabinet unless
he is premier; but there have been so
many defections from his ranks that
the threat is idle.
ATHENS, Oct. liking George has
invited M. Zaimis to form a cabinet.
M. 5saimis is a member of the Delyan-
nisparty, and hesitates to undertake the
task. His acceptance would cause a
split among the Delyannists.
ATHENS, Oct. 1.-The premier, NJ.
Ralli, this morning, officially rendered
the designations of the cabinet minis
ters and they were accepted by King
George. All the newspapers with the
exception of the Delyannist organs ex-
press the deepest discomfort at the
crisis. The Asty declares that the
chamber has accomplished a shameful
betrayal by placing party interests be-
fore the interests of the country.
- OCl. L. contents the
white book presented to the chamber
are now generally known. The book
confirms the statement that Germany
threatened to withdraw from the con-
cert of the powers in the event of
Greece not accepting the peace con-
ditions, and it also confirms the state
ments made regarding the warning to
Greece, which the French minister for
foreign affairs issued on May 80 rela-
tive to the Internal situation of the
country, declaring that any attack upnn
the dynasty would threaten the very
existence of Greece
PARIS, Oct. 1.-The topic of the day
has been the refusal of M. Loze
French ambassador at Vienna, to ac-
cept the appointment rendered him as
governor of Algeria, on the ground
that he does not desire to leave his
aged parents. He declares that he viii
remain in Vienna, but the Marquis de
Reverseaux, has already been appoint
ed to replace him; and the cabinet
decided today that this appointment
must stand. M. Loze, therefore, will
have to make an ignominious retreat.
