COoHLAN CASE CLOSED.
President and German Embassador III ave
Final Conference.

Washington, April 2s.-The case Of
Captain Coghlan may be considered as
finally closed. The German embas-
sador, DIR. Won Holleben, called at the
White House Wednesday and had q
conference on the subject with the
president of such a satisfactory nature
that the matter was regarded as set
tied. The president explained the
course the navy department had taken
In administering reprimand to Cap
tain Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out
that the officers explanations of the
Incident stated that his utterances had
been exaggerated. On the part of the
ambassador there was every disposi-
tion to deal as lightly with the mat
ter as possible, and not to permit it to
become source of friction.

MILES TO COMMAND.

Washington, April 2s.-The report
Is current here that General Miles will
go to the Philippine islands and take
command of the forces there in person.
1t is said that General Miles has made
the request himself that he be allowed
to assume command in the islands, and
that the president is inclined to grant
his request. Those who are in close
touch with the parties concerned state
that so much is at stake in the Philip
pine campaign the administration is
determined to end it quickly and sue
cessfully, and the president believes
General Miles is the man to push the
finish along rapidly.

temporary legalization of polygamy,
In any event, there were some 1000

during the war, and as there are no
marriage laws except those of the Ro-

TAKING NO CHANCES.
Preparations for Rushing War Ag ainst
Fillpinos StIll Continue.

Washington, May 2.-The following
advices have been received at the war
department from Manila, under date
of April 80:
While it is the general expectation
among Americans that the Filipino
emissaries will return with revised
proposals from General Antonio Luna,
Major-General Otis is not letting this
prospect interfere with his prepar-
atoms for pushing the war. Yester.
day he ordered Major-General Lawton
TO return to Angat, few miles north
west of Norzagaray, and not to advance
aggressively while the negotiations
are pending. General Macarthur is
apparently acting on the same policy,
but he is repairing bridges and
strengthening the lines of his force,
which is stretched out with four mile
front and within quarter of mile of
the enemy
The possibilities of peace are gratify-
ing to great majority of the army,
who have regarded the war as an un-
pleasant duty that must be performed
according to American traditions. Ma
mia is cheerful over the prospects of a
return to normal life, though there
are skeptics who remark that a truce
would enable the insurgents to rest
until the rainy season, upon which
they have been depending as an i'm,
portant aid.

No Utah officer Hurt.

Washington, April 2s,-The report
that an officer of the Utah battery was
wounded in Sundays action on the
island of Luzon was undoubtedly a
mistake in the press dispatches from
Manila The official list of casualties
sent by General Otis makes this fact
apparent. General Otis is most care
full in preparing such lists, which ac-
counts for the delay in its receipt.
The war department states that there
is no reason to believe that any officer
of the Utah battery was injured in the
action referred to.

BLooDsHED AT WARDNsR.
Strikers Wreck the Bunlker mn and Sui
lvan Mill with Dynamite

Wardner, April 30-Warduer has
been the scene of the worst riots since
the deadly labor war of 1892. One man
is dead, another is thought to be
mortally wounded, and property valued
at S250,000 has been destroyed by
giant powder,
The damage was done. by union
men and sympathzers from Canyon
Creek, about twenty miles from Ward
ner. This morning mob of from 500
to 1000 men all armed and many of
them masked, seized train at Burke,
the head of Canyon Creek. There
were nine box cars and a passenger
coach, and they were black with the
mob. The visitors brought with them
5000 rounds of giant powder.
After parley of two hours, 140
started with yells for the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mills and other buildings
third ofa mile from the depot They
sent piclzets ahead and one of these
pickets fired a shot as signal that
the mill was abandoned. This was
misunderstood by the main body of
the mob, who imagined that the non
union miners in the mills had fired ON
them, and they began firing on their
own pickets.
About 1000 shots were thus ex-
nhn,,Tad hot praa,, +l,a ,;5,tars aud n Ioi,
pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the
piclIets, formerly of British Columbia
and noted figure in drill contests,
was shot dead. The fatal error was
discovered after a few seconds firing,
and Smiths body was brought down
from the hillside.
BY this time the strikers had taken
possession of the Bunker Hill and Sui
liyan mill, which they found deserted,
the manager having directed his en-
ployees not to risk their lives by bat
tling with the mob. Powder was called
for and sixty fifty-pound boxes We're
carried from the depot to the mill.
The heaviest charge was placed among
the machinery of the mill. Another
charge was placed under the brick
office building. Other charges were
placed around the mill.
Then the boarding house, a frame
structure, was fired. Fuses leading TO
the charges were lighted, and the strik-
ers, carrying the dead body of the
picket, retired to a safe distance.
At 1896 p m. the first blast went off.
1t shook the ground for miles, and
buildings in Wardner, two miles away,
trembled. At intervals of about thirty
seconds four other charges went off,
the fifth being the largest, and COM
pletely demolished the mill.
The loss to the Bunker Hill & Sulli-
van company is estimated from $3.50,
600 to 100000
In few minutes the strikers went
back to the station, the whistle was
blown for stragglers. the mob soon
climbed aboard, aud at o'clock, just
three hours after its arrival, the train
pulled out for Canyon Creek.
During the fusilade from the guns of
the mob, Jim ehayne, Bunker Hill &
Sullivan millman, was severely shot
through the hips. It is reported that
he was carried off by the strikers, and
his wound is probably fatal. }. j.
Rogers, stenographer in the employ
of the company, was shot through the
lip, but his wound is trivial
The non-union men had warning OF
the coming of the mob, and escaped to
the hills

Saturday its price was 2711 pence an
ounce in London and 59T cents In

The movement originated in London

by London operators on the theory
that with the public mind in its pres

NOT SELF DECEIVED.

The Moorehead News, whose ed
itor. Geo. N. Lanphere, was a can.
didate on the state fusion ticket
last fall, finds little comfort for his
party in the state elections held last
week. In we'll considered editor
al he says, in part:
The News has no disposition to be-
little the results of the recent state
elections, or to claim that the Repub-
licans did not win substantial vic
tories. The elections were not fought
on the square issue of expansion or
anti-expansion, and yet it would be
folly to deny that the voters did not
have this question in mind. 1t has
been considered for many years that
the safe elections for this year immed-
lately preceding the presidential cleo
tion are an index of what may be ex-
pected in that election. Assuming that
last Tuesdays elections are an index,
it would appear that the Republicans
have the best show of carrying the
country in 1900. No safely Republican
state was lost to that party, and in
some of them their ma OritieS or plur-
alities were increased over the usual
ante-presidential year.
Bryan carries his own state OF Ne
braska. Much of the Democratic and
Fusion strength in this state was due
to the favorite son sentiment, as was
the same sentiment in favor of McKin-
lev in Ohio. The fair-minded man,
therefore, must admit that Republican
states will 60 Republican in 1900. An
other source of strength to that party
will be the expansion sentiment in all
the Pacific coast states.
The News desires to look at things
as they are, and not as it might wish
them to be, and therefore says that at
this time the Republicans have the best
OF it.

see if the children of Sank Centre are

or any other town? Bring your pen

The HERALD will print the name of
