WASHINGTON, August ga dis

partment from Gen. Otis under date Ct
August rs. stating that Dato Mundi, OF
Zamboanga, attacked and defeated the
insurgents there on that date, killing
thirty of them.
The dispatch as given out at the War
Department is much confused and the

just who Data Mundi is. 1t is thought,
however, he is one of the smaller

on Bcnchts Arising from DIM
armament of Nations.

BOSTON. March Ga meeting to ndvo-
cate arbitration OF disputes between nations
was held in fremont temple today. Ut.
Edward Everett Hale was the principal
speaker. He said:
1--WE have come to forget the things that
are behind and think of the Things that are
before. My text is the rescript of the caar,
which hope every one will ponder over.
Dr. Hale then read the rescript and said:
This conference proposed by the czar

round For the first time in the nineteenth
century body OF twenty-six men will come
together to consider questions OF perpetual
peace"

COLLEGE AND COTTON PRESS
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
Worth of Property at West Point,
Miss, Goes Up in Smoke.

WEST POINT, Miss, March 6.-Nearly
100000 worth of property was destroyed by
fire here today.
The Mary Holmes college, an industrial
school for Colored girls burned this morn
ing and this afternoon the cotton press,
shed, etc, together with large amount of
cotton were destroyed. The Mary Holmes
seminary being situated far outside the fire
limits of the city, the response of the de-
partment was useless far as extinguishng
the flames were concerned. All of the in
mates escaped unnjured, but large por-
tion of their personal effects were lost.
Building and equipment cost $65 900; insur-
ance $4,000.
This afternoon spark from Mobile e
Ohio engine started a blaze among the cot
ton bales in the compress yard and as a
perfect gale was blowing the fire spread as
IL in a powder magazine. Five thousand
bales of cotton were in the yards and were
consumed, as were a few cars that stood
on siding near by. The total loss of the
press, together with the warehouses and
cotton, the managers say, will reach fully
$3OO,OO0
r. C. Mcdaniel, for many years identified
with the cotton interests of this section, in
attempting to obtain some papers from his
office, was caught in the blaze and burned
to death.

SUIT AGAINST SUGAR TRUST
Attorney General Monnett OF Ohio
Brings Proceedings TO Recover
S58,OOO Due the state.

COLUMBUS, o., March 6.--Attorney Gem
eral Monnett is now after the American
Sugar Refinery company, better known as
the Sugar trust. Suit was brought Monday
by him in the name of the state of Ohio
against the trust to recover $4,000 claimed
to be due the state by reason of the de-
fendant company's failure to comply with
section 14S of the revised statutes.
The action is in the nature of an attach
ment and garnishee proceedings and in the
affidavit 1t is alleged that several firms have
property belonging to the defendant COM
pany. The attorney general alleges that the
American Sugar Refinery company is a for
eign corporation and following this the petit
tion gives the usual data connected with the
Incorporating and passage of the law which
is alleged to have been broken. This law
reures that thirty days after the passage
OF the act the defendant company be re-
quired to make and file with the secretary
81 state a statement under oath of all figures
and data relative to all business transacted
in Ohio. Not until this is done will there
be certificate issued authorizing the COM
pany to do business in Ohio.
The petition alleges that the defendants
failed to comply and refused to do so. BY
reason of this they are subject to a penalty
or Sl,OOO
AS second cause of action it is alleged
that the company has named certain persons
as factors or agents, to whom a portion of
their goods were billed. The bills were
made out against these agents, when in
reality the goods We're owned and held by
the American Refinery company. A COPY
OF letter, bearing the names of Fl. c. Have
meyer, president and John E. Searles, sec
retary and treasurer, and signed by their
company is embodied in the petition. The
object of the letter is to show that the de-
tendant company retained ownership of all
goods sent.
Ihen follows the prayer of the petition in
which 1t is alleged that the defendant COM
pany Is subject to penalty OF 81 900 per
month for fifty-fve months and 81 900 as
stated IN the first cause of action, making

PINE BLUFF, Ark, March 6--The Order
Of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen are endeavoring to
obtain modification of their contract with
the Cotton Belt road.
The men claim that the contract under
which they are now working is unsatisfactory
and they want concessions from the COM
pany. A big union meeting of members of
the organizations was held here tonight at
which the general contract committee, repre-
senting the Organizations on the system,
were present. The committee has been
earnestly at work endeavoring to
obtain the revision and the OBJ

a generaf expression of feeling from in
terested members The committee was given
to understand that it would have every
support, financial and otherwise, of all con-
ductors and trainmen on the system. There
is much speculation as to the outcome should
a revised and acceptable contract not be
forthcoming from the company. The meet
ing tooight represents the Cotton Belts en-
tire corps of conductors and trainmen from

BLOOMINGTON, Neb, March 6-lSpecal
Telegram. Judge Beall opened district
court today and the session was devoted
mostly to minor cases.
Tooman and Cole, charged with numbering
j. p. Kriechhaum, were brought into court
and both made afFdavits that they were too
poor to hire lawyers to defend them The
court named A. II. Byrum of Bloomington
and A. f. Moore of McCook to defend Cole
and George w. Prather to defend Tooman,
allowing him to pick his assistant, he nam
ing Ed Dayley of Mnden.
The county attorney, in behalf of the
state, made a motion that Tooman and Cole
both be tried at the same time, which the
court granted. The defense objected to this,
however, and both will have separate trials.
1t will be at least Wednesday before the
cases will commence and the finding of a
jury will probably be very difficult.

The bill as prepared by the committee
provided for a salary for one secretary of
the State Board Of Transportation. Fisher
Of Dawes moved to amend and allow sal
aries for three secretaries. This let loose
another flood of oratory. Cunningham tfu-
sion), opposed the amendment. He said the
places were sinecure Jobs; the stenographers
in the office did all the work and had three
fourths of the time for play. The board had
done no good and ought to be abolished.
Burns and Clark also opposed the mo-
tion, while Mckinley, Easterling, Lemar
and Wheeler talked for a salary for three
secretaries, and we're cheered on by the
solid fusion side, with the exception OF
cunningham, VINO clung 10 MS opinion tnat
the secretaries were useless.
Weaver of Richardson made the speech
of the afternoon in which he denounced the
Board of Transportation as the worst fraud
ever perpetrated on the state. He said the
secretaries had done no work and the board
had not had the nerve to enforce the orders.
The only persons in favor of the secretaries
were tie corporations, who had found them
willing servants. The Fisher amendment
was defeated and the section providing SAL
airy for but one secretary was left unchanged.
