portions oe il in Massachusetts, In

PLOT AGAINST THE GAR.
Staff Officer Killed Instead OF the
Monarch

New York. Sept. S.-A World dis
patch from London says: A report is
published here of a daring plot to as
sassinate the car at Moscow last
week. The plan Of the consDirators
was to allow gas to escape into
house on the route Of the cars 3ro-
cession until the atmosphere in every
room had become saturated.
One o. their number was to remain
in the house and strike a light when
the car was passing, in expectation
that the house would be blown to
pieces and the car killed by the flying
debris. The consDirator would perish
himself as a sacrifice 10 the cause.
This duty fell to the lot of one Alex
ander Kolanoff. In his agitation Kola-
noff seems to have made an error, as
the explosion was mistimed. When it
occurred q stan officer and his wife
were driving past the house, and they,
instead Of the ear, were killed. Their
coachman viii probably die Of his in
juries, and about 80 other persons were
more or less seriously injured. Kola-
nCff's mangled body was found among
the ruins. The car and cZarina drove
by just % minutes later.
ManZ arrests have been made in
Moscow, but the Russian press has
been forbidden TO refer to the matter.

cident occurred in the North Star mine

name of Andy Andriwag, commonly
known as Little Andy, met terrible

powder was accidentally exploded and
the unfortunate mans body was blown
into a hundred fragments. The head
was blown off and the jawbone, de-
nuded of flesh, was picked up 30 feet
from where the explosion occurred. One
arm was also blown off and deposited
some distance from the trunk, which
was disemboweled and stripped OF
clothing by the terrific force of the
blast. The body was discovered Fri
day evening by Glenn Ogg. foreman Of
the mine, and was brought to Haw
thorne yesterday morning in two boxes.
The dead man was about 80 years of
age and OF foreign birth. He had rel
'atives in New York.

WASHINGTON FUs1oNIsTs.
Peoples Party Wants the Name and
the Candidates.

Ellensburg, Wash, Sept. S.-TOday's
session of the Popuiist, Democratic and
silver Republican conventions was
spent in discussing the question of flu
sion and at o'clock tonight no conclu-
sion had been reached. The joint con-
ference committee which was appoint
ed yesterday made its report at the
opening Of the afternoon sessions. The
report was TO the effect that the ticket
should be under the Peoples party
name. the Democrats and silver Repub-
leans should each have one congress-
man and that the PopulistS should be
awarded the two supreme Judges. The
report of the conference committee was
adopted both by the Populist and sill
yer Republican conventions, but the
Democrats refused to accept it. They
sent a committee to the Populist con-
Yenticn, asking them to either concede
one supreme judge or the party name.
The PoUulists refused to concede either
and thus matters stood when the con-
yention took q recess for dinner.
The joint committee reported union
platform. which was adopted by the
Pooulists and silver Republicans. On
the subject Of the war it says;

tiOnal fame as rescuers of an oppressed
people. Yet we regret that this luster
should be dimmed by the recollection
that the Republican administration,
through its stubborn opposition to the
will OF the nation and its own plat
form promise. delayed the commence
ment of the war to such length as to
enable the SDaniards to carry into eff
feet their foul purpose of starving to
death hundreds of thousands of help

Dlore the fact that the unavoidable

ton and fraud in that department"

TO VH|TENASH ALGER
War Secretary Now Demands a
Searching Investigation"
BY M'KINLEY HIMSELF
HIS REQUEST WILL PROBABLY
BE GRANTED.
Question Will Be Considered By the
Cabinet Today-Alger Believes a
Prompt and Thorough Investiga-
ton Will Result In Much Good
No Charges Have Been Filed.

Washington, Sept &-Secretary Alger
has requested the president to order a
thorough and searching investigation of
the war department. In this request the
secretary had been joined by Adjutant
General Corbin. No decision has been
reached, yet by the president as to what
course he will pursue. He has the re-
quest OF Secretary Alger under considera-
ton. but has not yet determined whether
he will grant it or not
Secretary Alger had a long conference
with the president tonight before he left
the city and impressed upon him his earn
est desire that ar investigation such as he
had requested be ordered.
The question was very thoroughly dis
cussed IN all of its phases. Secretary VIII
son participated in the conference and
General Corbin was present during u
greater part of the time.
II now seems not unlikely that the in
vestigation will be ordered but it is the
wish of the president further to consider
the matter before announcing a definite
policy.
The question probably will receive con-
sideration at the cabinet meeting tomor-
row. While all the cabinet members are
not in the city, Secretaries Aiger and
Long and Attorney General GriggS being
among those who will not be present at
tomorrow's meeting, it is to be the wish
of the president to take up the whole
subject with those OF his advisers who
may be there.
Should the investigation be ordered it
will include, probably, all matters relating
to the conduct of the war, so far as they
concern the war department. Secretary
Alger expresses himself as confident that
such an investigation, if conducted
promptly and thoroughly, will result in
much good.
Such an investigation as has been re-
quested, is. il is pointed out. be set with
some difficulties. No charges of a definite
character have been filed by any respOn-
Sible person or official. Sensational stories
and rumors, for which the administration
has present knowledge that there is no
foundation. have been circulated and OBJ
lection is made to identifying them by the
ordering of an investigation.
BY those who desire and advocate the
investigation it is maintained it can do
no possible harm and may be of possible
benefit in clearing away manifest error
from the minds of many people and in
placing the blame, if any is TO be placed
Where il rightfulIY belongs.

Mr.. Quigg expressed hope that there

NEWS OF THE WEST.
SUGAR PLANT FOR IDAHO.
Utah People Willing to Build Big
Factory.

Factory.
Boise Statesman: ]. E. Jennings has
just spent a day here, coming in Sun
day and returning TO his home in Salt
Lake yesterday. Mr.. Jennings is prom
inently identified with the beet sugar
business. He has been secretary of the
company operating at Lehi since its
organization and is interested in the
establishment at La Grande and Ogden.
For long time he has held that the
Boise valley is one of the very best
points in the world for the production
of sugar beets, and he has desired to
get factory located at some point in
this vicinity.
Asked about the matter while he was
here, Mr.. Jennings said his people were
ready 70 put in a plant If they could
get a guarantee of 5000 acres of beets.
If such a guarantee were furnished
within two mon his the plant would be
ready to run next fall, consuming a
crop to be grown next season. The
business, he said, is a great success,
and there is plenty of capital ready to
engage in ii whenever the conditions
are so specially favorable as here, pro-
vided the necessary guarantee as to
beets can be secured.
The plant that would be put in I'M
der 5,000-acre guarantee would con-
sumo $50 tons of beets daily and turn
out from 100000 10 10000 900 pounds
of sugar annually. The Lehi factory
will this year produce 100000. The
digging of beets was TO begin yesterday
for the Utah plant.
At Lehi they maintain a force of six
chemists continually during the grow
ing season. The beets are frequently
tested and the times when water is
needed accurately determined. In this
respect the arid region has an immense
advantage over localities where rain is
depended on, as the saccharine quality
of the beet depends largely on water
being supplied just at the right time.
Five acres of beets are being grown
near Meridian this year under the care
of a Utah man who has had long eX-
perience in the cultivation of the crop.
Two carloads of the beets will be sent
to Lehi and worked there, the exact
possibilities of this soil and climate
thus being determined.
Mr.. Jennings idea Is to establish the
plant near Nampa. They desire to be
on the main line, he says. The beets
can be transported from points along
the road at nominal cost. In Utah
they haul beets as much as so miles.
In closing, Mr.. Jennings stated the
company would expect a bonus. The
establishment of the factory in the
valley would be of enormous benefit to
all other lines of business and some
thing should be paid for it. The Lehi
factory, he said, had been worth $780,,
600 to Salt Lake City, though it is so
miles from that city.
