STEUBENVILLE, o., June 30.-The
Congressional fight has reached the
acute stage and casting up mas be-
gun. None but the best conditioned
can survive the hard test to which
candidates will be subjected in this
county's campaign. Just one day after
Hon. J. ]. Gill announced his cabdi-
dacy, the situation was mixed fot a
short season by eX-Prosecuting Attar-

He has a large family connection, a

vention against Danford, and had the
solid support Of the county. He is
Scotch-Irlsh and a fierce fighter. In
an interview the same day he announc-
ed his candidacy, Erskine threw down
the gauntlet by some hot shots at the
big moguls in Republican politics
here. Erskine claims he has as much
right to be a candidate as Gill, and
that Gill laid down in the convention
five years ago when he had the nom
nation in his grasp. He says he Gers

NEGROES ATTACKED
A Train Load Of N0n-UniOn Miners
Fired UpOn---One Killed and TWEEN
ty Others Wounded.

MARION, Ills, June 30.-To-day as
the train on the Illinois Central, car
rying a coach load of negroes from
Pana to Brush's mines, one mile north
of Carterville, stopped at the Fredonia
mine, three miles northwest of Car
terville, a large number of striking
union miners fired upon the negroes,
killing one woman and %wounding about
twenty others. Before the bloody
work could be carried any further,
the train pulled out for Johnston City.
When it reached a point n mile
north of Brush mine, the negroes
were unloaded and marched across the
country to their destination. 1t is
said that a majority of the rioters
were negroes whom Brush brought
here from the South about a year ago
and have since Joined the union.
There is great excitement in the
neighborhood of the BruS2 mines and
a battle between the working negroes,
who are we'll armed. and the strikers,
who are on the ground ready for a fight
may be precipitated at any moment.
Supt. Brush wired for Sheriff Gray i'm
mediately after the riot, asking for
protection. The sheriff has gone to the
scene, but he took no deputies with
him. He has no guns to arm them.
A majority of Brush's miners have
been on a strike for a month, though
many of his imported negroes have re-
manned loyal to him. The trouble is
the same old one. a question of wages.

A RUSH FOR PLACES.
Many Applications for Comnissions In the
Volunteer Army.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Since the
announcement that about 10, 1000 volun-
teers were to be mustered into h
army for service in the Philippines the
President has been deluged with appli-
cations for commissions. Almost every
Congressional caller has one or more
applicants whom he presses upon the
Presidents attention. The President

in a general way that the policy OF the

sions will be 10 give preference to vol
unteer officers who showed ability and

GERS are also to be given volunteer
commissions in the belief that one or
two regular officers in a regiment will
be of great advantage. The number of
officers to be commissioned is being
carefully guarded to prevent a seram-
bic.
No colored regiments will be organ
lied for service in the Philippines. Any
colored men enlisted will be assigned
to vacancies in the present colored reg
iments of the regular army. The X
pertinent Of the War Department with
colored volunteers during the Spanish
war was not a happy one, and in spite
OF reports which come from the Phil
ippines to the effect that the colored
man is greatly feared by the Filipinos,
the authorities are averse to running
the risk of a repetition of the troubles
of last year.

THE PLAGUE SHIP

Released from Quarantiue-LocaI Officers
Object to Her Cargo Being Unloaded.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-The
steamer Nippon Maru, suspected of be-
ing infected with the bubonic plague,
has been released from quarantine af-
ter being thoroughly fumigated by DR..
Klnyon, the federal quarantine officer
at Angels Island. Her passengers and
crew are held on the island, but the
steamer is now lying off the Pacific
Mail dock, where it is the intention to
unload her cargo. Although DR.. Bar
bat, bacteriologist of the board of
health, fears that the baccilli taken
from the glands of the two Japanese
sailors found in the bay are plague
boccilli, from their close resemblance
to the germs of the Asiatic disease, he
cannot express a definite decision until
the cultures have been developed.
Meantime the members of the board of
health declare their intention to pre-
vent the landing of freight from the

WASHINGTON, Pa June 30.-The dis
covery was made last night of the body of
a well dressed man, evidently murdered,
lying in a box car in a Baltimore q Ohio
freight, west bound, as it paused for or
ders at the Washington station. Before
the train men could be notified, however,
the train pulled on and this car was side
tracked at West Alexander. A tramp
leaped on the car here TO ride to Wheel
ing, and when he struck a match and
made the discovery, he quickly left the
car and notified the Waterman at the
crossing, close by the station. Two tramps
also leaped from a car to the rear OF the
one where the body lay, and said the mar
had been shot a mile or two east of town,
at the tunnel. and that the two men who
did the deed had left the train before it
reached town, but were coming TOWARD the
town.
The police were notified and placed these
two men under arrest, and then went
after the other two, whom they found
coming into town along the track. They
denied that they had been on the train,
saying that they had walked from Finley
vile. At the lookup. when recognized by
the others, they admitted having been on
the train, but said they knew nothing of
the murder. One story says the first two
tramps were in the car with the dead body.
After the men had been together they,
became uncommunicative. The last two
picked up charged the other two with the
crime, saying they had killed the man
with an iron bar. This agrees with the
discovery in the car at West Alexander of
an iron bar beside the body. The muir
dered man was apparently 30 years old,
weighing IT'S pounds and good looking. He
wore a striped pair of trousers, black coat
and soft black hat.
This eveing the dead man was identified
at Cap. Aikers, of Charleston, W. Va. He
was a member of Company B, First West
Virginia Infantry, mustered out at Column
bus, Ga, February 4, and was one of the
company cooks. The Identification was
made by Martin Flanagan and II. King,
who were his comrades during his service
in the army, and who are now living here.
