THREATS OF A GOVERNOR

Says, by Shooting Trains to Pieces

MADISON, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-'I reiterate that

State such as was taken into Virden, l care
not what railroad it comes or for whom,

to pieces with Calling guns"
So declared Governor Tanner in a speech
delivered before 100 auditors gathered at
the Knights of Pythias Hall in this city.
1t was the concluding statement in an adj
dress largely devoted to defense of his
course in the recent mine riots at Virden.
The Governor reviewed at great length the
causes leading up to the riot. He held the
operators to be at fault in their dealings
with the strikers. and, then, revertng TO his
acts when the crisis came, said: when
the United States government found it nee

respondent Of the Associated Press, in a
letter describing the last days of Spanish
rule in Porto Rico, says the Spanish officers
grabbed everything loose that had golden
clink. The Americans felt relieved when the
soldiers departed, because the natives, IT
was feared, might avenge themselves for
past wrongs. The correspondent continues:
Full details of the Arecibo incident or
Sunday last (Oct. % have been received here,
although the Spanish censor declines TO
allow their publication in the local newspa-
pers. 1t appears that the trouble began III
a row between some soldiers of the Alfonso
XIII battalion and a number of countrymen.
The soldiers retreated to the neishDorlng
barracks. and, after arming themselves win
Mauser rifles, returned and fired upon the
crowd killing four men and wound1ng many
The crowd, to the number Of 2OO, secured
machetes and rushed through the streets,
the soldiers retreating to the barracks. The
people then carried their wounded 10 Inc
house of the British consul, where they
found several United States officers ana sc.-
diers from whom they asked justice. After
the wounded were cared for the tOwilspeople
returned to the scene OF the confict TO de-
Spaniards Ultimately. however, the per-
siIasive words of cooler men, coupled with
the establishment of d vigilance committee,
succeeded in restoring order. But only for
a time The same afternoon a party of
forty Porto Ricans completely destroyed the
business house of a Well-knOWn Span1aru.
During this affair another man was KILLED.
The night was not without its alarm. There
was shooting at the barracks though no
one was hurt Seventeen different fires in
the surrounding country were counted from
the hOusetOps of ArecibO.
ION the following day most Of the bust
ness houses remained closed That night
twenty-four fires were counted. On Tues
day most Of the Spanish business houses re-

Secretary Longs Reply to Protest
Against Naming Monitor.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says Secretary
Long has declined to substitute the name OF
any other State for that of Connecticut
which he recently conferred upon one of the
monitors whose construction is soon to be
begun The naming of monitor Connecti-
cut was deeply resented by the people of
that State who think 1t should grace
battle ship. In an open letter the secretary
states that the names of the monitors were
given in obedience to the act of Congress
of May T. 1898. which provides that here
after all first-class battle ships and moni-
tors owned by the United States shall be
named for the States. and not be named for
any city place person until the names
of the States shall have been exhausted"
This act the secretary declares. made it
imperative that the new monitors should
be named after States, and the department
named them Florida, Wyoming. Arkansas
and Connecticut. To now withdraw one OF
these names on the ground that 1t is not
complimentary and to substitute therefor
the name of some other State, as the law
would make ii necessary to do, would be a
direct discourtesy. the secretary says. TO
such other State. whereas the original be-
stowal of he name was complimentary.

De PAW,


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 27.-The
slump in the Yale University football team
during the present week has occasioned
great alarm among Yale men, and this
alarm is emphasized by the failure of grad
uate coachers to return to New Haven to
assist in the propagation of the eleven for
the important contests of the season. The
Yale Alumni Weekly which appears to-
day contains vigorous criticism of the
situation Under the caption Many Foot
ball Cripples and much Football Ignorance
the Weekly says. THE whole team is loose
and dsorganZed. The candidates outside
of those who have been playing more or
less regularly with the eleven are so far
behind respectable that an accident to three
or four men would seem like the bottom
dropping out. Yet there is plenty of fine
material and an abundance of the right
spirit 1t is a question of instruction. which
must be given at once to be effective.
Good. hard coaching and plenty of 1t right
away will save the team. That Is putting
things as bright as possible"

mitted a report to the Postoffice Depart
ment on the postal operations there. He

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: 1.-THE coal operators of Illi-
nois interested in the Virden situation are
preparing petition to be presented soon
in one of the United States courts for an
Injunction to prevent Governor Tanner
from interfering with the importation of
laborers to take the places of men form
erly employed at the seat of trouble. The
present steps is deemed necessary by those
about to take it because. as they say, the
Governor has reiterated his determination
to forcibly keep out imported labor, and be-
cause all efforts at an adjustment by arbi-
tration have failed. The operators say
they believe that if they succeed in getting
an injunction Governor Tanner would not
see his way clear to oppose the power of
the United States by the use of force. How
ever, If the executive still should be of his
present determination the operators de-
clare the government would be authorized
TO employ the protection of deputy mar
Shals, and where state troops interposed to
Keep cut the imported toilers the regular
army could be brought into play as an
escort to the mines"

WASHINGTON Oct. 27.-Republican and
Democratic campaign committees in Wash

These estimates are not taken seriously BY
many politicians. 1t has become evident
