Young Cartledge is not ''another vic

newspapers put it, but he is another
victim OF newspapers whose hatred OF
the dispcnsary law has caused them t,
preach resistance aud violence. The

This Is about AS wholesale and un
warranted a charge against the news
papers as the statement that carticdgC

paper the NEXT day corrected the state

We submit that this isa serious and un-
warranted charge against the news
papers OF thiS State. The newspapers
have no: preached resistance 70 any

MISSOURI, KANSAS AND TEXAS n. r.

The Suit of the State of Texas to Forfeit
the Charter Practically Dismissed.
DALLAS. Tex, June 23.-Reports were cur
rent In Dallas railway circles to-day that the
suit brought by the State OF Texas to forfeit
the charter OF the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
Railroad Company Of Texas has been prac-
tically dismissed by the State. For several
days negotiations have been in progress at
Austin between the railway company and
Attorney General Smith looking to the dis
missal of the suit in the District Court at
Dallas.
1t is claimed on the part OF the railroad COM
pany that the proposed extension OF the road
to San Antonio and Shreveport cannot be I'M
dertaken until the forfeiture of charter suit
Is dismissed that while the present situation
exists II Ia impossi BILE to float the bonds Of the
new lines. and that 1t would be unwise to build
any additional track when there is an uncer-
tainty as to whether the charter of the Texas
system Is to be retained.
. The company made application to Attorney
General smith to postpone the case from July
ton will be granted. and that means a final
dismissal. 1t Ia known that arrangements are
oil completed to proceed with the work on the
Shreveport and San Antonio lines as soon as
the continuance of the suit from July to De-
tober Is formally made in the Dallas court and
that both extensions will be completed long
before the two years time expires. There is
much good feeling in the company's head
quarters at Dallas over the new turn In affairs

Moses Fowler Chase. the young man who was
alleged to have been Kidnapped in Detroit on
June by his uncle and aunt Mr.. and Mrs. Chas

been since. was examined as to his mental con-
diton at the Waldorf Astoria yesterday by Drs.
Carlos F. Macdonald and A. A. Smith. alicnists
Of this city. Willard A. Mitchell the New York
attorney for Mr.. Duhme. said last night that
both specialists agreed that the young man Is
now perfectly sane and able to manage his own

to Gov PinGree yesterday afternoon.
DETROIT. Mich, June 23.-The hardest fight

atorneys Of Frederick s Chase the father h, Of
Moses Fowler Chase and the attorneys Of Mr.
AND Mrs pHhs TH9 Sre the sFgsd with alb
The most important evidence is perhaps that
given by DR. Niles, who occupies the position
tendent Of the Oak Grove Santarium. where
young Chase has LIVED TTsscenty Dr. Niles
he was great inventor Of cannon balls; after
being there ten days he became ,incoherent

ne ODJectel 10 tne natnInR ana became AFRAID
| of being left in the dark. Three months ago
he objected to taking certain food because he
| thought it cost too much. and would not wear
| an ovcrcoat because he thought II was ex-
travagant to do SO.
About three weeks ago young Chase. &c
cording to DR.. Niles, began to talk Of going
| back to Lafayette. but he didn't seem to
| know why he wanted to go. Dr. Niles
| testified that young Chase would stand
for hours before the mirror admiring
| himself and kissing his own reflection. Asked
| as to Chase's condition on the day he left the
| sanitarium. DR. Niles swore that he was insane
| and not in a fit condition to be removed. John
| j.; Hans, an attendant testified to the same
| effect as DR.. Niles.
Tho case was fought all day at various points,
| the lawyers becoming sharp In their criticisms
| OF each other and accusing each other OF chica

noon and evening. and the puhmes' attorneys
put their, colleague. John b. Coney on the

Shortly before midnight Gov. Pingree an

CLEvEIAND STRIKE OYER.
Strikers Think Twice and Accept the Com
pRny's Terms.

CLEVELAND, o.. June 23.-The Cleveland
street railroad strike is ended. At the moment
when the struggle seemed about to take
turn that would have been disastrous. when
dynamite began to be used. and when the
Mayor had notified the commanders oil the
local military organizations to hold themselves
and commands in readiness to do immediate
duty. the strikers met and accepted tho oner OF
the company.
When President Everett was informed that
the strikers had refused to ACCEPT the terms OF
the proposition submitted by him yesterday
he declared that he would treat no longer with
the strikers but would fight them to finish
regardless OF what they might do or desire
He appealed TO Mayor Farley for better protec-
ton for his new men and the company's prop
crty.
Mayor Farley consulted with Director OF Po-
lice Barrett and Director Of Law Hogiett. Then
he called in the local military commanders
After the conference 1t was announced ON
cially that the Governor would be asked to
send troops from the southern part OF tho state

All this time the City Council committee had
been active in the endcavor to get the strikers
to reconsider their action OF last night. They
finally induced the Executive Committee
to call another meeting OF the strikers
for 5 o'clock tonight at Arch Hall.
The meeting was, held, and the attorneys Of
the strikers explained that while the terms OF
the company's proposition provided for the
immediate return to work OF only ~ pei cent.
OF the strikers. the other ~ per cent.
would be provided for inside OF twenty
days at the most, as the company intended
putting on, fifty more cars and the non; union
men would gradually find that they would pre-

cent. OF the strikers on the extra list and
to give preference to the others when employ

which caused the ordering OF the strike. but 1t
does not yield as to the discharge OF new, men.
Dynamite figured in the strike to-day for the
first time, a bomb being thrown into the Win;
the imported men we're gathered in the front
of the barn telling. stories when an explosion
occurred about forty feet in their rear.
Several OF the men were, knocked down by the
force of the explosion. The air was filled with
dust and flying glass. AS soon. as the men
could see and became convinced that another
explosion would not occur they went back into
the barn to Investigate. They found that some
explosive had been thrown among the cars
with which the big barn is filed. Nearly all
the windows in the cars were broken by the
explosion.
