UNWORTHY OF HIS POSITION.
What a Pennsylvania Editor Thinks
of Marion Butler.

VA DuAACEs
"Again we congratulate the Peoples
party upon being rid of this small, noisy
and troublesome element of disorganizers."
Marion Buffers Caucasian.
In all the controversy which has taken
place among those who have in the past
been deemed the leaders of the People S
party we have avoided taking any part
While we were most firmly opposed to
any fusion or cooperation with either
except it could be accomplished under
our own name, principles and organiza-
ton, we still hoped that time and a
sense of justice would in the end heal
all differences which seemed to threaten
the existence and usefulness of the
party. We had hoped that the meeting
of the national committee and organiza-
tion committee at Omaha two weeks ago
would establish a better feeling between
all elements, but in this hope we were
again doomed to meet disappointment,
and the difference seems wider than
ever.
The words which we quote above
from the editorial columns of the Cau-
casian, National Chairman Buffers pa
per, are unworthy any man occupying
the position he does. The men that he
congratulates the Peoples party upon
being rid of, are they who have built
the party up from its very foundation,
to position Of strength and principle.
For one moment consider who compose
the element which Chairman Butler
denounces, and it will be seen that they
have been the very life and sinew of
the party since it's birth. To the grand
work of Ignatius Donnelly and his pa
per, The Representative, more than to
any other source can be credited the
numbers and influence of the Peoples
party in Minnesota and that region. To
l.. D. Reynolds and his Chicago Express,
the Peoples party are indebted for years
of labor and sacrifice, for its promotion
and life Wharton Barker and his pa
per, the American, are toiling in the
very front ranks of true Fopulism and
reform. 10 A. Parker and his paper,
the Free Republic, are familiar names
among all the followers Of the Peoples
party cause in every section of the coun-
try, and in Kentucky he has been its
hero in all its battles-neyer wavering
and never weakening. To whom If not
to gallant Tom Watson and his Peoples
Georgia and the South indebted for cdu
cation and support in Its days Of weak
ness and trial. Mr., Paul Dixon and his

Missouri World have led the Populists
OF Missouri in many hard-fought bat
tie, and are carrying the Peoples party
flag today in the thickest of the fight
against the legions of plutocracy and
greed. W. S. Morgan and his "Buzz
Saw" have for years and are now lead
Ing with brilliant zeal the Populist lines
in Arkansas. Milton Park and his de-
voted following of Texas Populists: we
could continue this list to cover pages.
And these are they whom Chairman
Butler congratulates what he terms the
Peoples party in being rid Of These
men who have for years borne the heat
and burden of the fight, for all the re-
forms for which the party stands
pledged. These men, who have given
the labor and earnings of lifetime to
the upbuilding of the peoples cause.
and without whose consistent and per-
sistent labors there would have been no
Peoples party, are denounced as noisy
d1sorganizers' by man who is fatten-
ing upon salary Of $4,000 a year, for
which he is indebted to the Republican
party. Denounced for no other reason
except that they refused at Omaha two
weeks ago to surrender the Peoples
party into the hands of Chairman But
Ter and his 20 associate traffickers in
official plunder. The words of Mr. But
Ter are an insult to every one of these
men, all Of whom are faithful toilers in
the now almost hopeless struggle for
human rights. AS we have stated, it had
not been our intention to take part in
this controversy, trusting to the healing
balm Of time to effect cure but now
believe the words of Chairman Butler
call for severest rebuhe.-Sledge Ham,

MORE PROSPERITY.
Duluth Street Railway Has n Change
of ManQgement.

DULUTH, July S.-PresiGent l.. Menden-
hall, on application Of Thomas Lowry, OF
Minneapolis, one Of the stockholders and
creditors, was yesterday appointed receiver
Of the Duluth Street Railway company.
1t is explained that this is the beginning
Ct reorganization made necessary by an
excessive capitalization and shrinkage in
western business and values since the panic
of 1893 1t is not caused by any pressing
exigency or dissension. The present man
agcment will continue. The company has
netted almost as much this year as any
previous year, but it's gross earnings were
considerably less.
Mr. Lowry last evening cclroborated the
statements in the above dispatch, and ad-
mitted that it was principally at his in
stance that the steps were taken, though
with the acquiescence of large Eastern
creditors. Mr.. Lowry further stated that
the company had for some time been un-
able to meet it's obligations, but that the
action was taken in all friendliness, as
shown by the appointment of Mr.. Menden-
hall. one Of the stockholders.
AS to the outcome Of the receivership,
Mr. Lowry stated that everything depended
upon the future progress Of Duluth Should
this not be good, the prospects are that the
creditors will not realize to any considera-

WILL FIGHT FOR
 THEIR MACHINES.
Cigar-Dealers and Saloon Men Say That Devany's Order Is Not
 in Good Faith.

The License Committee of the Board of supervisors met yesterday and, at the request Of number of cigar-dealers and saloon men, deferred action on Devany's s order prohibiting nckel-in-the-slot ma chlnes Tn use by them which pay winners Tn orlnks or cigars. The parties interest ca intend to make a hard fight against the order' and yesterday, being collection day, they were unable to present their case be- fore the committed
 mere IS feelin among some of them ana they do not hesitate to express their conVlcuon-that the order is not made in good Ialth, but is merely intended to toTce those affected into raising a fund to ueIedt II. It is c..ed in support of this theory that if the police were really de- sirous or suppressing the actual gambling macnlnes, such that do not give any re- turn Tor the investment except by chance they would raid the machines that are maintained in many places that pay win HerS III money. There are several varieties or these, none o. which is licensed, but Wnlcn nave come into use since Judge COOK s decision. They are gambling de- wees pure and simple, and are now under the ban of the law in that they are ex- preSSly prohibited from being licensed but the police allow them to be operated with out molestation. License Collector Bon net recently ordered his deputies to fur nlsn him the names of people maintain ing such machines, and he now has a list or seVenty-four money-paying machines in operation in town

Drucker's resolution, providing that leave of absence be granted to all teachers who enlisted for the war, and that they be given their positions back upon their return, met with a, better fate and was passed, Ragan being ex- cused from voting.

 HEARD FROM
Captain Porter Gives an Ac- count of the Loss of
 the Vessel.
Tho Crew Is Now Stoppino With Brower at Point Hope
 Station.

A letter relating to the loss of the whaling vessel Freeman Is in the posses sion of Mrs. w. P. s. Porter of Alameda, the wife of Captain Porter, the late mas ter Of the wrecked vessel, being received by her yesterday afternoon from her hus- band, who is now at Point Hope with the greater part of his crew. The letter gives minute and detailed account of the loss of the Orca, Freeman, Belvedere and Ma varch, and a description of the course of the vessels from the time they reached Alaskan waters until their final destruc- tion and abandonment off Point Barrow.
 In speaking of the loss of the Freeman he said:
 When we left the vessel at D. m. she was eight miles off shore and was drift ing north with the ice pack. The next day she drifted a little closer to land She was half full of water. Some natives boarded her and set fire to her by acci- dent. l saved nothing but what I wore.
 Captain Sherman and I are all right and are living at Liebes' station with Charlie Brewer. The Newport, Jeanie and Fearless are all right and are close in shore. The crews of the Orca and Free man are here and those of the Belvedere and Newport will shortly arrive. By us- ing economy we will pull through all right

That little resolution caused a wild time in the Board of Education yester- day. and was only defeated because Waller and the other signers could not get another member to stand in with them.
 When the resolution was read Head attacked it in vigorous terms as en- tirely unwarranted and intended only to advance Miss Grote. He said the residents of the Richmond District were clamoring for new school build ing which was also an absolute neces- sity, and that the two classes which are now quartered in buildings in lose proximity to the Richmond School would all be under one roof, but Miss Grote, having been made principal, could not be reduced again, and would have to be provided for somewhere else. He asked if Superintendent Webster approved the plan.
 MT. Webster replied that he had never heard of it before and certainly did not approve of it.
 Waller and Drucker attempted to de- fend the proposition, and President Harrington called Carew to the chair while he took the floor in opposition to
  and the motion was lost, the six sign CTS voting in favor of it.
 The next fight occurred just prior to adjournment, and it looked for a mo- ment as though Waller and Head might mix matters" During the executive session of the committee of the whole an effort was made to reach an agree ment in regard to appointing a prin- cipal of the Evening Business School. vice Fitzpatrick, removed. Head and others wanted to promote -Prin- cipal Folkes, but Ragan as usual had a man for the place, MT Jordan, a teacher in the Washington Grammar School. After wrangling till nearly 5 o'clock the committee adjourned and the regular session began. After the reg ular business had been disposed of Ra- gan left the meeting, but as a motion to adjourn was made, a resolution was passed up appointing Folkes to the place. Hammond moved to substitute the name of Jordan and the fight was on. Carew became all tangled up in parliamentary laws, and Waller seemed to run things about as he pleased, having entered the fight in Jor- dams behalf. His language to Head was noticeably bitter. and once when he drew near in a bOisterous manner Head said: "Oh, don't get so close to me; I don't want to be contaminated" ." Then Waller calmed down somewhat A vote was finally taken. resulting in six for Folkes and five for Jordan. AS it required a majority of the board the matter went over till the next meet ing.
 Hammond afforded much amusement by moving that Spanish should no longer be taught in the public schools There was no second to the motion.

SEVERELY DAMAGED LAST EVENING AFTER ROUGH VOYAGE

The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany's unlucky steamer Corona, which was towed into this port last Tuesday in a disabled condition, was partially destroyed by fire last evening, and but for the heroic efforts of the flremen who responded to an alarm from box 354 early last evening, and those employed on the fire tug Governor Markham, the ship would have been burned to the waters edge. About ' o'clock flames were seen issuing from the ship, and within a few minutes it looked as though the vessel. as well as the 2roadYay.street wharf where she WAS

played into the hold the flames were under control The fire was confined principally to the hold of the vessel, but the decks and rooms were badly burned in places. The damage has not yet been estimated, but it is presumed it will reach somewhere in the neigh borhood of S12,00 It is reported that the loss will be almost entirely covered by insurance. During the fiercest DOT tion of the fire the bay was lit up for quite a distance and a large crowd gathered at the scene to witness what might have resulted in an exceedingly disastrous blaze.

 but it is supposed that a spark from the donkey engine, which had been run ming during the day for the purpose of hoisting coal aboard, had fallen into some infiammable matter, which caused the conflagration. It was at first deter mined to take the burning ship away from the dock, as she was a menace to the buildings in the vicinity, but with in few moments after the water was
