STREET RAILWAY FIGHT.
Conflict Between Two Rival Concerns
In Iowa

Council Bluffs. Ia. Nov. 19.-Early
this morning clash occurred between
the Omaha G. Council Bluffs Railway
& Bridge company and the. Council
Bluffs & Suburban Railway company
that resulted in the arrest of General
Manager Dimmock and members of the
construction gang of the former cor
poration, charged with violating the
Sabbath The Council Bluffs & Subur-
ban Railway company is a new con-
Germ.
Near the round house of the Burling-
ton road is a narrow strip of ground
on which the Suburban company has
acquired trackage rights The other
company wanted a track on the same
plat and concluded to steal march on
it's opponents. At midnight General
Manager Dimmock and a crew of
thirty men appeared on the scene and
went to work. About fifty ties and
four lengths of rail had been laid when
representatives of the Suburban COM
pany appeared with officers and an in
junction. Dimmock yielded grace
fully.
To accommodate the warning factions.
Judge Aylesworth of the superior court,
held a special session at midnight to-
night. The attorneys for both parties
asked for restraining orders, which
were granted. The old company was
restrained from laying further tracks
on the ground in question and the new
company from removing the track al
ready laid by the old company.

YAQUIS ARE STUBBORN.
Propose to Fight Until Whites Are
Exterminated.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-A special to the
Record from Guaymas. Mexico. says:
A Yaqui Indian. a sub-chief of that
tribe. who deserted the rebels a few
days ago. has arrived here and has fur
nished the military authorities with
much valuable information concerning
the location ana plan of campaign of
the Indian forces. He says the Mauser
rifles do not cause as much fear among
the Indians as the old Reningtons. as
the bullets do not infiict such severe
wounds and they heal quickly. There
are. according to this Indian. about
300 insurgents altogether. of which
1000 are north of the Yaqui river and
200 in the mountains. The rebels are
organized in companies of forty men
each. under a captain. and are drilling
regularly. and the chiefs continually
exhort them to continue the fight until
the 'Yoris' (white mem are all killed.

HEAT OF sun AND STARS.
Can Energy Be Completely Dissipated
In the Universe?
knowledge

According to the ordinaIV view, the
sun is constantly radiating heat in all
directions, and [ think IL is generally
supposed that only a small portion or
this heat encounters material bodies at
any distance, however great. If so, the
question arises: r
What becomes of the .residue?' Ply
steal research leads us to believe that
heat can not be destroyed, but Only
transformed; yet many persons seem to
think that this heat vanishe5 like
ghost without transformation and with
out producing any effect This may be
so, but it is so much opposed TO physl-
cal analcgieS that we should be slow
to accept it unless on the basis OF defl-
mite observations, which. / think it Will
be admitted, are not at present forth
coming.
Nor can we confine the question to
the sun. The loss of radiant heat must
Con the theory which l am now corsid-
ering) extend to all the stars. \ larger
portion of the heat of some of them is
no doubt intercepted by other bodies,
but some of it must escape-vanish- The
whole universe is losing heat: or at
least it is losing motion, for the supply
of heat may be temporarily kept up
by the conversion of motion into heat
Gas, for example. by a bombardment of
meteoriteS.) But that a good part OF
the radiant heat vanishes, thus lessen
ing the total amount of force-of heat
ard its equiyalents-in the universe,
seems To be a common opinion. TINS
theory, however for, of course, every
thing on this subject is theory, will
strike many of your readers as upsat-
isfactory for physical, not metaphysical
or theological, reasons. But, IL this
heat be not lost, what becomes of 1t?
If the suns rays and those Of the
stars always met with some material
body, however great its distance
might be, the problem would be solved:
there would be no loss of heat
to the universe. The sun may at
present be radiating more than it re-
ceives, and, consequently. cooling; but
in travelling through space it may reach
other regions in which these conditions
will be reversed. But ii seems PLAIN
that if this be the case, the greater
part of the bodies which encounter the
solar heat are dark bodies. or else that
there is an absorption of light in pass
ing through ether. Such an absorption
of light and heat by the ether-as
maintained, believe. by the great OBJ
server. Struve-would equally solve the
problem: for the light and heat thus
absorbed could not be lost, and would
probably be given back by the ether
TO material bodies in some manner not
yet traced. Otherwise 1T would change
the properties of the ether
\ third possible alternative is. that
radiation, like gravitation, only acts
between material bodies, and that,
though like gravitation. it acts on
material body in any direction and fol-
lows it in all its movements. there is
no expenditure of force in the direc-
tons in which no material body is en-
countered. On this theory also there
would be no loss of heat. There would
only be an interchange of the same kind
as if every heat ray ultimately en-
countered a material body.

London, Nov. 19.-The war office

Marquis of Lansdowne:
Cape Town, Nov. IS. 9:35 p. m.-The
following is from the general COM

outpests reported various bodies, from
500 to 700 strong, advancing on Est
court from a northerly direction The
party, SEQ strong, moved toward the
railroad bridge half mile northwest
of Estcourt.
"Our outposts fired on the enemy and
one of the naval guns fired a shell at
S00a yards range, the shell bursting
close to the enemy, who then hurriedly
retired.
AT Il o'clock reports were received

SEEKING WESTERN TIMBER.
Minnesota Lumbermen Hold Options
For MANY Millions.

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 1s.-Before leav-
ing here for the timber belt, Frederick
Weyerhausef told his intimate friends
that he was interested in an eastern
syndicate which has an option on a
bulk of redwood timber lands, together
with twenky-four mills and $50 miles
of railroad in Humboldt county. Cali
fornia. The property in question is
owned by a. number of large firms and
companies, including Charles Nelson,
Mckay & Co., the Union Lumber COM
pany and the Albion Lumber company.
The owners gave an option upon 1t
last summer, which expired Nov. 10
This option was renewed and vii now
remain in force until next MAJ. The
purpose is to control the redwood lum-
Der industry and advance prices. The
deal involves property worth between
sI5.0 900 and S20,000.000. 1t is stated
today that the timber lands which the
Weyerhauser syndicate seeks to ac-
quire from the Northern Pacific Rail-
Grad company consists chiefly of a
tract about forty miles square. located
in Lewis. Chehalis and Pacific coun-
