The Government Will Discriminate Against Its Own
 Plants.

Washington, March 1.-The navy department is ready to take whatever steps are necessary in carrying out the provisions of the naval bill for the pur- chase of smokeless powder during the coming year. It is not intended to an tagonize commercial interests in volved in this line of manufacture by throwing the whole burden of produc- tion upon the government plants. The government has plant at Indian Head which, when completed, will turn out a maximum product of about 5000 pounds a day. But this will in no way compete with the the private manu facturers.

RENEWAL OF HosT1LITIEs.
Threatened by the Northern Minnesota
 Indians.

Minneapolis, Minn., March H. Michael Cogins, a well known and con servative pine operator, says the Leech Lake Indians are in dirty temper and ready fer any sort Of deviltry. They have been holding councils two or three times a week and the proceedings are kept very quiet. The Indian griev- ance is based on a fear that after the prospective pine sales are over they will still be in debt, something that has been known to happen before.
 Cogins says the Indians could muster in case of trouble full 1900 fighting men, nearly all armed. The govern ment has lately ordered two companies of the Seventh infantry away from Fort Smelling and the state has no available force, except the newly or ganized militia.

CHURCH LAWSUIT ENDED
Decision by U. S.. Court of Appeal in
 United Brethren Case

Cincinnati, O.. March 14.-The United States court of appeals today rendered a decision Involving the title to the large publishing house at Dayton, numerous cof4pgest and thonl2 ;lds of cfftirehes heid 9fnn the name of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. The case grew out of a divis- ion in this church many years ago, since which time one division has been known as the liberals and the others as the radicals.
 The decision rendered by Judge Lur- ton was from an unanimous court, and it sustained Judge Taft in giving the property to the liberals as against the radicals. The decision from the fed eral court is in accord with similar de- cisions rendered by the supreme courts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Hi nois, Oregon and Missouri
 The liberal church has been repre- sented by Congressman Gunkel and McMahon. It is stated by the liberals that they have been compelled to spend about $20,0O0 in defending these suits from the radicals for church property in different states. In some of the states decisions have ioeen rendered in favor of the radicals, but the decision by a federal court of final jurisdiction in such cases ends this litigation which has been carried on all over the coun- try for almost ten years.

TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM CUBA.
All the Troops Will be Brought Home and Then Mustered
 Out.

Washington, March 1.-The war de- partment has decided to withdraw all
 volunteer troops from Cuba without delay and arrangements for carrying out that purpose were begun today. As fast as the various regiments reach the United States they will be muster ed out. According to the present es- timates of transport service, all the volunteers will leave Cuba within a month. This action of the department is due principally to the enactment of the army reorganization law, which permits the enlistment of a sufficient number of regulars to garrison all territory acquired by the United States as a result of the war with Spain.
 The first order to carry out the pur- pose of the war department was issued today. It provides that the Twelfth New York volunteers should leave it's present station on the transport Berlin, now en route to Cuba and be landed at New York city for muster out This is the last New York regiment to remain in the fed eral service The war department is inclined to believe that 10000 regular troops will be sufficient to maintain order in the island,

He did not come back When the books were examined it was dis covered that he had falsified his ac counts and had been taking large sums of money for nearly two years.

CHIN TALKED SHOOT
Then BrOnSfOn Went and
 Armed Himself.
Two weII-known Kentucky Demo- erals on inc Point of Gun Play. One of Them piaCed Under $5.OOO Peace Bond.

Lexington, Ky. March 14.-Col. Jack Chinn of bowie knife fame, the turf man, race horse starter and silver dem- ocratic politician, made a scene in the lobby of the Phoenix hotel this after noon by approaching State Senator Charles J. Bronston and calling him a red-headed thief and asking him if ke was armed. Bronston said he wasn't armed, and Chinn cursed and abused him mere than before. He told Brons- ton to go arm himself within ten min utes or he would shoot him to pieces without giving him another chance.
 Bronston got a 44-caliber revolver and returned within ten minutes, but Chinn had been taken to his room by friends and did not come down until arrested by the sheri on a peace war rant. He was required to give a $5 0G0 bond for keeping the peace. He then came back to the hotel. Bronston was standing in front with his pistol in his hand, but. Chinn never noticed him. Bronston went to his office.
 The hotel was full of politicians from all over the state, drawn here to at tend the meeting of the democratic state central committee, which set the democratic state convention for June 2 in Louisville. This committee had just finished eating dinner when the altercatiOn began. The hotel was soon filled with policemen Further delib- eratiOns of the committee were ren- dered impossible for hours and wild excitement prevailed. The reputation of the two men and their friends was such that everybody expected a street battle, in which several men on eacn side might be killed. After he had given bond Chinn sent for Chairman H. P. Johnston of the state commit i tee, to whom he said he would not at tempt to cause any more trouble with i Bronston today, but would make no promises for any future time
 2 Chinn says that the reason he at-t tackled Brcnston in this public manner is because Bronston, who was attor- ney for Mrs. Sally Crawford, to whom Chinn was indebted and for whom | Bronston had obtained a judgment i against Chinn, slandered his wife. |
  When Chinn's horses were sold here | last fall, BronstCn secured a distress warrant and attached the funds of | Chinn in the local bank In doing SO | he presented a petition saving there | was collision between Chinn, his wife | and his sons to defraud or cover up the ownership of the horses, and it was on this petition that the attachment was issued on which Mrs Crawford | secured her money Chinn declares that he will allow no man to attack his wife's honesty, even in a petition at law.
 Bronston's friends say the trouble grew out of pilitical differences; that, while Bronston is a democrat, he is opposing the Goebel election law, passed by the last legislature, which act Chinn champions Chinn has de- clared, they say, that he will kill Bronston politically, and now he wants to do the same thing physically. Bronston said this afternoon that the trouble is not likely to end until there is a shooting match.
