ROAD ABANDONS A TOWN.
Wabash Company Withdraws Its Agent
from Fairmount, Ills.

Danville. Ills, Feb. 14.-The Wabash
Railroad company is engaged in a Bit
ter warfare with the village authorities
of Fairmount The railroad company
has withdrawn its agent, nailed up the
depot. fenced in its right of way and
only stops one train day in the town.
1t is said that in a few days the depot
will be moved two miles to the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois railroad crossing.
and that Fairmount will cease to exist
as a station on the Wabash railroad.
The trouble began a year ago, when
the railroad company by legal tech
ncality escaped taxes charged up
against il by the village. The difficulty
was aggravated by the last revision of
the time tables, the citizens of Fair
mount claiming that they were not re-
ceiving proper train service. The viii
lage board retaliated by enforcing the
ordinances requiring all trains to run
through the village at a speed not to
exceed six miles an hour, which in
terfered materially with the fast mail
service of the road.

change ceased their clatter and the war
of bonds and margins was suspended for

um in the evening. Every one of the

Captain Ray Advises the Sending of Troops
to kiondike.

Washington, Feb. 14.-According to
the report of Captain Ray, who was
sent to Alaska by the war department
to report on conditions in the gold fields,
the entire Klondike country is in a
reign of terror. Outlawry. drunkenness
and thievery. says the captain. keep the
honest and law-abiding goldseekers in
state of terror.
Starvation stares the Klondikers in
the face. and Captain Ray was obliged
to raise the American flag on the food
store and personally superintend CIV
ing out supplies in order to stave off
suffering until the government relief
stores arrived. Captain Ray says that
ne does not anticipate any loss of life
from starvation, but he regards the sit
uation as critical. He urges the war
department to send armed men into the
territory to put down outlawry, and re-
fers to this as the most menacing evil
of the gold regions.

New York. Feb. 14.-Samuel Gompers.
president OF the American Federation
of Labor. has been in this city for two
days TO get the unions OF this city TO
enter into a great movement for an
eight-hour work day. According to the
present plans of the labor leaders a

employers TO grant the eight-hour work
day have been unsuccessful. The sue
cess of the recent strike Of miners, in
which more than 200, 900 took part, has
encouraged the American Federation Of
Labor TO prepare for undertaking a tre-
mendous fight. The leaders are now per-
fecting plans which they believe will
insure success. Mr.. Gompers intends
to confine his work until May 1 to in
teresting the unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor in the
movement He will superintend the
operations of a powerful and well-or-
ganized staff of organizers from his

THE DE- LONE INCIDENT
Mckinley Will Await Report OF
Minister Woodford.
POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

30 Far as the Personal Al1usions OF the
Late Minister tn the President Are Con-
cerned the Incident Is Undoubtedly
Closed - spain's Premier Believes the
Affair VIII Not Affect Friendly Rela-
tons-Charges Against Consul Lee.
Washington. Feb. 1.-THE policy of
the administration concerning the De
LONE incident can be STATED briefly and
definitely, and on authority not open to
question, as follows: The president is
awaiting the full report of United
States Minister Woodford. who. in the
brief report already made. stated that
fuller details will be forwarded. So far
as the personal illusions of the late
minister to the president are concerned
the incident is undoubtedly closed. No
demand has been, or will be, made ac-
coring to the present intentions for a
disavowal of them. though should it be
made, 1T would be regarded as a grace
full act.
Other differences in the Letter.
But the differences in the letter which
bring in question SPANS good faith on
questions of reciprocity, and inferen-
TALLY autonomy for Cuba, If not dis
avowed voluntarily, may become the
subject OF further diplomatic corre-
spondence, though as to this matter. as
has been stated heretofore. the presi
dent will await Minister Woodford's
fuller advices before anything Is decid-
ed upon. This feature of the ex-minis-
ter's letter is entirely disassociated from
the personal aspect which resulted in
his retirement 1t is confidently ex-
pected by this government that Spain
will take early opportunity to disavow
the statements of it's late representa-
tives in so far as they tend to commit
Spain to policy which leaves her good
faith open to serious doubt 1t is felt
to be most desirable that this govern
ment should have no doubt as to
Spain's real purposes and feelings on
those vital questions which have been
subjects OF negotiations or are likely
to become such In the immediate future,
Al the Spanish Legation.
At the Spanish legation affairs have
assumed normal condition, Senor Du
Bose being in charge. He did not go
to the state department during the day.
In the afternoon he made calls on the
foreign representatives, thus fulfilling
social and official duty. by which the
fact of his assuming charge of the post
Is made known to them. Senior De LONE

pairing for departure. The time of his
leaving has not yet been set. Nine. de
LONE is directing the Unexpectedly
hasty work Of packing, and reports OF
her being prostrated by the recent oc-
currence are groundless. No intimation
has come to any one at the legation as

known, but all comment is regarded as
purely conjectural

sAGAsIA FEELS SATISFIED.
Thinks DE LONE AFFAIR Will Not Affect
Friendly Relations.


New York, Feb. IA special cable
gram to The World from Madrid re-
ports Premier Sagasta as feeling salts
fed from assurances he received from
Minister Woodford that the De LONE
incident is closed. Sagasta said:
Il firmly believe that the incident,
though unpleasant for u.s. will not alter
our present highly satisfactory and
friendly relations with the American
government. What confirms my belief
Is that General Woodford, after his in
terview with Senor Gullon. declared him
self satisfied with the solution the
Spanish government had given to this
affair before he presented his note on
the subject in accordance with cabled
instructions from the state depart
ment."
This report of Woodford's assurance
that everything was all right, made two
days ago, reads queerly in light of the
statement made by Secretary Day that
Spain's action was not satisfactory and
the incident was not closed.
