Two English steamship companies
which wanted the contract to carry the
Spanish prisoners to Spain, have applied
to United States Circuit Judge Lacombe
for an injunction TO restrain the Spanish
steamship company from carrying out its
contract with the government on the
ground that the contract Is contrary 70
the law OF nations, which forbds a ma
ton at war to have business relations
with Il public enemy. 1t will be a little
curious If a federal court undertakes to
interfere with the operations of the wal
department In a time of war.

The correspondent of Harpcr's Weekly
with the Manila expedition. describing the
welcome received by the Ameri-
cans at Honolulu says: I asked
an old citizen of Honolulu: Why
do YOU wish for annexation? You
seem perfectly happy without it. He
tucked his arm under mine and led mo up
to lunch at the officers club. which had
opened Its heart and its doors wide to tho
American officers. He stopped me before
the club door and pointed out TO me a
long line of polished quick-irinG guns.

In Salt Works at KanOpolis
Causes Terrible Accident.
Skin Burned Off Henry Nc
CURES Face and Body.

Westmoreland, Sept. 10.-What came
near being a fatal accident occurred at
the railroad crossing in this city Friday.
w. A Calderhead was on the Blue Val
ley train going to his home at Mary
sville. The train pulled up to the depot
and Mr.. Calderhead stepped off to talk
with some friends at the depot. The
train then backed down to the yards to
do. some work. He thought it would
stop as it came back, but it did not
and came up very fast.
Mr.. CaIderhead grabbed the front
railing of the coach endeavoring to get
on, but was thrown from his feet and
his hand slipped. He was thrown head
first between the car and the platform,
and partially under the car with his
head to the north.
The front truck caught his foot and
doubled him up and turned him COM
pletely around, with his legs thrown
across the rail in front of the wheels.
He had presence of mind enough to
throw himself off the rail before the
wheels caught him, and then rolled out
of the way. The train was stopped
and he was helped up. It was a very
narrow escape. Those that stood by
were powerless to help and looked on
with horror, expecting to see him
ground to pieces. His escape was al
most miraculous.
The same train came near killing Al
Houghton, sheriff of Riley county. AS
the train left Manhattan it knocked Mr..
Houghton down, bruised him severely
and knocked out some of his teeth.

MR.. PLATT SAYS NOTHING.
But His Plans Leave Black and Wood
ruff Out.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator P1att
and other Republican leaders refused
to take any notice today of the allega-
ton made by Governor Blacks friends
that the governor would stay in the
field and carry the contest for the nom
nation into the safe convention. The
party managers and others who are
in accord with public sentiment are
convinced that Col. Roosevelt will be
nominated and are making their plans
accordingly.
Hamilton Fish, who was a candidate
for the nomination of governor, sees it
in that light, and as he intends to stay
in public life he will make the best Of
the situation and probably go back to
the assembly from Putnam county. He
can have the nomination there for the
lower house if he wants it. The plan
is to make Mr.. Fish speaker, a place
he held before, and James NJ e.
O'Grady, who was speaker of the last
assembly is to be nominated for lieuten-
ant governor, it is said.
