ture and the course is now assured.
The UNION need not dwell at this
time upon the benefits derived from
such a series, but they are legion.
They inaugurate clean, healthy and
wholesome thought and discussion
and add materially to the moral at
mosphere OF the community. Rapid
City needs this course and every
town in the Hills would be better
off with it. Prof. Larrabee is NOV
ing in the right direction and the
response made by the people OF this
city is certainly a point in their
favor. THE UNION will contain fur
Their announcements in it's future
issues.
p. F, Mcmahon, u present
ty auditor, last week filed notice of
contest on his opponent, Horace
Crockett. Crockett was elected by
one vote Is shown by the face of the
returns, but in two or three pre-
cincts of the county republican
judges of election threw out a num-
Der of votes which under the law
should have been counted. Mr..
Mcmahon proposes to see that all of
the votes cast tor him are counted
and that he will be elected by a safe
majority on a recount there is no
doubt. The contest came as a sur
prise to some, but TIE UNION has
known for some time that it was to
come.
We r in receipt of a card from
the editor of the Belle Fourche Bee
announcing his candidacy for bill
clerk in the senate a I'd he requests
US to say a good word for him.
Well, we wish the gentleman success,
in fact we are anxious to see every
republican editor in the state get
some minor position, for they have
certainly earned "somethiny' for
boosting the machine ticket so dill
gently, but the Belle Fourche aspi-
rant will have to tap his friends
nearer home for support as we have
all we can do to support the three
republican editors in Union county.
Elk Point Leader.
John Con way this week resigned
his position as deputy auditor under
p. F. Mcmahon, and J.. S. Gantz
was elected to take his place. Mr..
Conway will reside in Hill City, his
old stamping ground. The genial
John has made many, warm friends
during his sojourn at the court
house and all regret to see him 90.
j. S. Gantz, his successor, is by no
means a novice as deputy, and Aud
itor Mcmahon will find in him an
able and capable assistant.

SOME OTHER RESTRAINTS.
Mcguire, Ostrona and Butler Have Erected Political Lightning
 Rods.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, March 5-M. H. La Rue, 1 the railroad commissioner, who is here visiting relatives, was asked by The Call correspondent to-day in reference to his reported candidacy for the Dem- ocratic gubernatorial nomination.
 Well, I have been mentioned as hav- ing aspirations in that direction,'' he replied, "but I have never announced that I would go before the convention as a candidate. Some of my friends have spoken about it, and in fact, have put me forward. While I have never announced my candidacy, I think it likely that I will be candidate for the nomination. In fact. have about con- cluded to enter the race"
 In that connection MT. La Rue spoke of the attacks made upon him, to the effect that he was a daily visitor to the yellow building" the railroad office in San Francisco, and other innuendoes and insinuations. MT. La Rue re- marked that he did not think it worth his while to reply to such statements in reference to his aspirations for the gubernatorial nomination. The railroad commissioner added with feeling that if his public and private record during his long residence in this State was not a sufficient refutation of the reports he had nothing to say.
 Are there any new candidates for the nomination?" was asked
 ''No: none that have heard of.''
 "Who are in the race so far?"
 Well of course you know that Mir. Mcguire has been prominently spoken of for the nomination, and, concerning his candidacy, I have nothing to say. Then, there is Dan Ostrom of Tuba County. Dan is a candidate, of course he's a sort of standing candidate" added the railroad commissioners, with a smile.
 And then" he remarked, there's your townsman, A. B. Butler. I un- derstand he desires to procure the nom ination."
 How about Governor Budd?" was asked.
 "I don't think Governor Budd will run again." said MT. La Rue. T heard him say at banquet given by the Iroquois Club of San Francisco that he would not take the nomination if it were ten- dered him on a silver tray, as was eX- tensively published at the time. Since that time he has reiterated and reiterat- ed the statement, and I myself have heard him make it on several occasions. No: I don't think Budd will be in the race at all"

If It Is Quashed the Author Will Give Himself Up.
 at Once.
IS NOT SEEKING CLEMENCY
His Latest Book, "Paris," Is Not Up to a High Standard and Is
 Severely Criticized.
Copyrighted. 1898, by James Gordon Bennett.


 PARIS, March 5-It is the calm after the tempest. The coming elections will doubtless bring us back once more to period of agitation. AS yet we have only reached the preliminary election speeches.
 As to the Zola question, his appeal to the Supreme Court will not come up for several days yet. Opinion Is pretty evenly divided as to his chances of the points reserved in his defense being sustained by the court. If, as many barristers and magistrates at the Palais believe, the appeal is quashed, then Zola will give himself up as a prisoner as soon as the decision is handed down, at least unless there is demand for delay, which would cer- tainly be accorded him. But his friends think that he will not ask any favor, and that if he goes to prison he will not even seek to gain the benefit of a re- mission of half the punishment, which he has a right to demand after six months incarceration, and which in a case like this is never refused.
 The appearance in book form of his new work, Paris" published first in
 
 and Rome," the trilogy he set himself to write, and coincides in regard to the time of it's appearance with the close of his trial, but this circumstance has not yet very strongly attracted atten- tion to the book in question, and it does not seem to have obtained at the hands of the public the same success founded on curiosity which attended the publication of several of his pre- vious works.
 Critics are quite severe in regard to this last production of the author of La Debacle." They are representing him notably with having described Paris not as the grand Paris which Victor Hugo baptized La Vile Lu- miere," but from point of view of it's lower walk of life. It is filled with a reyolting spirit of anarchy and abounds in political and stock-jobbing scandals rather than with love, intelli- gence, passion and beauty. which cer- tainly, if one professes any sort of philosophic ideas, is not a point to be absolutely neglected in a study that bears a name so high sounding as Paris" The book in other respects is rather heavy.

PREPARING FOR THE
 INEVITABLE STRUGGLE.
Some Day Japan and Russia Will Fight It Out to a Bitter
 Finish.

LONDON, March Eff the Tientsin correspondent of the Daily Mail was well informed in saying that Japan has ad- dressed a note to Russia demanding expla- nation of the continued occupation of Port Arthur it must lead, taken in conjunction with the activity in the refortifcation of Wei-Haf-Wei, to a recrudescence of the uncertainty, worry and alarm which KeDt the two hemiSpheres on tenterhooks at Christmas time. As was pointed out on January p, the diplomats have always dreaded that Japan would take isolated action in defense of Korean neutrality. To this trouble. which seems to be brew ing, is attributable the continued dispatch of Russian French and British re~en- forcements to the Far East. Evidently Japan is preparing for the struggle which must come some day and which will be the fiercer the longer it is delayed.

CLAIMS ARE SUPPORTED.
Minister of War Admits That the Rights of the Bavarians Should Be Heeded.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, March 5.-In the Reichstag this week during the debate on the re- form of the military code, remarkable statements were made by Baron von Hertling, the Bavarian Centrist leader, and Count von Leechenfeld, the repre- sentative of the Bavarian Government. Both asserted that if Bavaria was not allowed to retain a separate highest military court there was danger of a very serious crisis. Baron von Hertling added: ''The Separatists have been much strengthened lately, their senti- ment being shared not only by the masses. but by the upper and the high est circles"
 The Minister of War, Baron von Goss- Ter, admitted that Bavaria insisted upon separate military courts, and, though the question was debatable, which contention, he added, would be supported by the Federal and imperial constitution, the Reichstag, like the Bundesrath, supported Bavaria s claims.
 At dinner, which the Imperial Chan cellor, Prince Hoheniohe, gave to the Parliamentary leaders, the same even ing, he asked the Bavarian representa- tive what was the actual feeling, and received the reply that Bavaria for some time has been decidedly Prusso- phobic, the Regent and the whole Ba- varian court showing this feeling.
 In spite of the strenuous opposition of Dr. Miquel, the Minister of Finance, and the whole Government, the Prus- sian Diet has amended the Government bill for the relief of the victims of the Silesian woods, increasing the appro-

TROUBLE FOR

A Threatened Vote Of Non Confidence by Hawaii's
 Legislature
False Revolutionary Scare Greatly Alarms the Island Republics
 Officials.
Special Correspondence of The Call.


 HONOLULU, Feb, 26, via Victoria, March 5.-The Radical Annexationists threaten a vote of non-conf1dence This will be useless, as only the President, with the consent of the Senate, can oust the Cabinet.
 The Department of Foreign Affairs and the judiciary have been badgered with questions about the claims of citi- zens of foreign governments because of the improper administration of the law. The acting Presidents status has also been attacked on the ground that he is an alien, and the opinion of the Su- preme Court has been asked.
 All the flags in the city are at half mast because of the disaster to the Maine. The people show a deep grief and the Government has formally eX- pressed it's sympathy.
 There was false revolutionary scare on the 22d. The Government became greatly alarmed and it is believed that the acting President quietly consulted the American Admiral with a view to raising the American flag. All is now quiet.
 The Hawaiian Senate convened at noon on February Is. President Cooper read the message. He referred to the progress of annexation, but as the sovereignty of the country remained until the final exchange of ratification certain legislation became necessary care being taken not to jeopardize the situation, nor hinder the future pre- sentation of the treaty should it fail now of approval.
 The framing of the issues in the Japanese arbitration is proceeding.
 The message recommends the pas sage of a law restricting the granting of Hawaiian register to vessels entire ly owned by Hawaiian citizens.

 RABBIT DRIVE Holiday for DwellerS in the Vicinity of Washington
 Colony. Shotguns the Weapons Used in the Determination of the

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 FRESNO, March 5.-The first rabbit drive of the season, which was held south of Washington Colony yesterday, was largely attended. All the coun- try people were on hand to slaughter the pests, while quite number went out from this city in vehicles to have days sport The drive was not as largely attended as others have been in past years, but there were a great many people in the line and big kill ing was made.
 The line started at about 10 o'clock, consisting of men in carriages. on ranch wagons, horseback and afoot. It formed a crescent, and then began to move. It was a shotgun drive, and whenever two long ears popped up from the brush the timid hare was the target for many weapons. The line had no sooner got fairly started than a continual fusillade was kept up. The line extended as far as one could see in the smoky atmosphere, and all along there was continual firing.
 It Is impossible to estimate the num- Der of the animals that were killed, as most of them were allowed to lie where they had fallen. It Is est1- udteu, however, that there are lIoni 1900 to 2OO0 less of the pests in that particular part of the country.
 It was fine day for the drive, and all went well until the last section had been closed in on. when two slight ac- cidents occurred. One lad, whose name was not ascertained. had mar row escape from death, having been shot just above the eye. Two grains of shot lodged in the flesh. but did not penetrate far, as the shot had nearly spent its force. Another youth had his shin badly bruised, and it was feared that the bones were broken, but luckily that was not the case. In the track of the slaughter an overzealous exterminator of the bunnies wielded his club right and left, and in one of his swoops he landed on the boys shins

to wing the derrick Chief. The sole reason for fear on her account is that she must certainly have encountered the terrible Thursday night and Friday morning gale off Hatteras. However, the fact that no sign of her or her tow has been seen by any life-saving crew between Cape Henry and Hatteras is taken as a sign that the tug outrode the gale. The impression at the Mer- ritt Wrecking Company's office here is that she has of course had rough trip, but will show up at either Ha- vana or Key West safe enough. She has not had time under normal condi- tions to make these ports.
