During the few minutes that the
train stopped here there was drinking
and disorder among the men. Several
shots We're fired.
All along the route their conduct was
the same. A dispatch from Henderson
tonight says: The Tenth Inmunes,
negro troops, passed here to-day ever

private houses and school children. Sew
eral men were wounded. The officers
of the regiment seemed to have no con-
troll over the men,"
Similar reports come from other
points between here and Welton.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Regard-
ing the report from Atlanta of rioting
by the Tenth Colored Immunes after
it's muster out at Macon, it was said
at the War Department to-day that as
the troops in question had been mus
tered out of the service they would
have to be dealt with by the local au-
thcrities for any breach of law they
riight have committed. The fact is,
however, that the repeated occurrences
of this sort is becoming sore with the
War Department, and it is probable
that hereafter troops to be mustered
out will be sent first to their own State
and given their discharge there.

HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPE.
Fifty People Have Very Close
Call for Their Lives.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Fifty people
narrowly escaped death tonight in an
accident to Halsted street electric car
ait North Halsted street bridge.
Approaching the bridge at rapid
rate of speed, the motorma1 of the
car failed to notice that the bridge was
open. When within a few feet of the
river he suddenly discovered the dan
ger and put on the brakes, 1t the same
time endeavoring to reverse, the electric
current. In spite of his efforts, the
front part of the car ran down upon the
abutments of the bridge and hung
there. One foot further and it would
have plunged into the river thirty feet
below, and as it was damned with pas
sengers, the loss of lie must have been
frightful
The motorman, thinking that the car
was doomed, warned the passengers
and then jumped into the river The
tipping of the car on The abutment. ac-
companied by the moto-rnan's warning.

and they made wild stampede for the
doors.
During the rush for safety four Of
the passengers were injured. They are:

"Chronicle" from Honolulu, March lst.
via San Francisco, March 9th, says:
Concerning the Samoan situation a
startling report was given out by an
officer of the cruiser Philadelphia to
friend here just prior to the sailing OF
the flagship for Apia.
According to the officer, Admiral
Kautz is instructed to uphold all of the
recent decisions of Chief Justice Cham
bers respecting the election of King

it. He is to cooperate at once with
the American and British Consuls and
declare Malietoa Tanus the rightful and
legal King. Malietoa will be placed IN
authority under the protection OF Amer
lean and British marines Mataafa, who
now has military ascendancy, Will be
called upon to surrender Should ne re-
fuse to do so, Admiral Kautz is in
structed to proceed, by force If neces-
sary, to establish the authority OF the
duly elected king. Malietoa Tanus.
1t is believed there will be a strug-
gle. Mataafa is brave. He thinks he

CATTLE TO BE MOVED NORTH.
Thousands to be Shipped to Coun-
ties Where Feed is Plentiful.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company is
preparing to move large number OF
cattle from the drouth-stricken dis
tricts of the State to localities which
have been more fortunate in getting
rain Unless there is a good rainfall
within two weeks, the railroad company
will take large herds into Trinity Coun-
ty. which has had an abundance Of rain,
and consequently has good pasturage.
Especially are the cattle suffering in
Kern and San Luis Obispo Counties,
and the Kern County Cattle Company
alone will ship over 10000 head into
the northern counties. 1t is calculated
that it will be necessary to move over
2O0.O00 head to save them, and the
Southern Pacific will make special
half rate to assist the cattlemen.
Because of the Government quaran-
tine law, no grazing cattle can be
moved into territory beyond the State
boundary line, which is also the quar-
antine line for Texas fever.
All efforts of eattlemen and wool
growers to have the mountain parks
opened for the entry of sheep and other
livestock during the continuation of the
drouth have failed, and the Govern
ment has announced it's intention to
carry cut the letter of the law in re-
gard to these reservations.

cational Association.

OMAHA. March 9.-After a three
days conference. in which two roads
did all the comforting and the other
sixteen acquiesced, the trans-continen-
tai lines have adjourned. and the rates
made by the Southern Pacific and San
ia Fe for the National Educational As
ISOLATION convention in Los Angeles in

be June 26th to 2Sth. inclusive, and
July Sd to Sth, inclusive. with the final
return limit September 4th.
On all business which goes out over
the Ogden gateway lines, which in
cludes all the Omaha roads and returns
via Portland, an extra 50 will have to
be paid. Whether the roads will pay it
to- hold their rate equality with that OF
the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe.
or add it to the price of the ticket. is
a problem yet to be solved. If the price
be added to the ticket, a person may
go from Kansas City to Los Angeles
and return by Portland for S64.50, while
from Omaha the same trip will cost
S69.50. The Southern Pacific will
charge $3.50 for the haul from San
Francisco to Portland, and in addition,
the Ogden gateway lines will have to
pay the same road So extra for the re-
turn haul from Los Angeles to San
Francisco.
OF the $50 which is to be charged for
the straight ticket, 81 goes to the Ed
ucational Association If the passen-
ger returns by Portland. S25 will go to
one of the northern lines. The Southern
Pacific will get $13-25 for the haul
from Ogden to Los Angeles, and this
leaves $11.75 to be divided among the
connecting lines taking the business to
Ogden from the Missouri River
The Great Northern, at the close Of
the meeting, announced one-way rate
of $50 from ST. Paul to Portland, going
into effect Monday and continuing every
day without limit as to- time. The road
states that this rate is in pursuance
of its plan to settle up the Northwest.
as the rate applies to all points on the
line where the regular rate to Portland
is more than $50. Other roads will
meet the cut.

Account Of Party Discussions.

SALT LAKE, March "a large
crowd assembled at the legislative hall
Tonight to witness the closing of Sen
atorial campaign that has extended
throughout the entire length of the ses-
sion, in which A w. McCune has been
in the lead the greater part of the time
until to-day.
The entry of Hon. George Q. Cannon
in the contest yesterday was the sensa-
ton of the day, and on the balloting to-
night, when he ran up ahead of Nc
Cune, the prediction seemed to be gen
eral that he would finally be elected.
The balloting tonight was exciting.
and numerous speeches were made IN
the interest of the several candidates.
c. C. Richards of Ogden was taken up
by the King forces, augmented by some
fiattering vote on several ballots His
name finally dropped out of the list,
and twenty votes went to James H.
Moyle. After this there was general
scattering of forces. and at midnight
President Nebeker declared the joint
assembly adjourned without the cleo
ton of a Senator.
Frank j. Cannon remained I'M the
race to the last, with nearly all of his
original followers.
The McCune supporters tonight are
claiming that they scored partial vic
tory by the defeat of Frank j. Can
non, and McCune's friends have nomi-
mated him in advance for the Senator
ship two years hence.
The Republicans are jubilant over
the fact that on account OF party dis

The news of the arrest created big
sensation, especially in political circles.
Postmaster Bogert would not be IN
terviewed, but in his paper, the "Ev-
ening Leader tonight appears the
following:
There are always two sides to a
question. and when there are three or
four fellows. and one or two in partic-
ular, clamoring for political office ana
hungry for the. emOluments attached
thereto, there are sure to be schemes
worked and plans formed to entrap the
incumbent, cause his removal and pun
ish him otherwise, even if nothing 1ur-
Their than the annoyance and chagrn
that the accomplishment of their devil
ish underhand work imposes. When
the diabolical schemers are fully shown,
up. and their nefarious trickery exposed
there is a. question, as TO which side VIII
furnish the raciest reading.
The inference to he drawn from the
above is that Bogert imagined bimself
the victim of conspiracy to cast BIN
from. the postmaster ship. and. in order
ITO discover the conspirators he opened
