Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Tacoma, Wash, June 25.-The North
ern Pacific has beaten the o. X. d N.
company in the fight for the control of
the Idaho Central, according to Bridge
Contractor Nancy, who returned from
Lewiston last night. Nancy says:
1.-THE Northern Pacific has outgen-
eraled the o. r. & N. at every move
and is now master of the Clearwater
situation. The o. R. & N. is doing
nothing at present, and, while some
people say this is because it is rushing
it's Wallula extension, it looks to an
outsider as though competition with
the Northern Pacific has geen given
up. There are no men working on the
Q. r. & N. branches in Idaho
THE Northern Pacific has fully a
thousand men on the grade and will be
into Camas Prairies by September
in time to get this falls crop. There
is apparently some difficulty in keeping
men enough, for at least 100 day are
coming in from sound cities all the
time. The force is scattered all along
the grade clear into the prairie, but
only Is miles of the Camas Prairie
trains.
IF the o. r. & n. attempts to build
to Buffalo Hump 1t will be far behind in
the race, for the Northern Pacific will
be within 60 miles of there by Septem-
Der, while the o. r. & N. will still be
14O miles away. Most people think
there will be no attempt to build two
roads, and it depends altogether on this
summers report from The Hump dis
trirf whethpr rna6 all in
With the wheat district 1t is not so
certain that there will be no competi
ton. The 0. r. & N. may want to di-
vide the trade, as it does in the Palouse
country, and build to Camas later.
THE sentiment in that country now,
however. is that it has given up the
battle, for if it had intended to keep on
President Mohler would not have al
lowed the Northern Pacific to get so
far ahead of him. The truth Is, the
Northern Pacific has control of all the
best cards in the game.
1.-The Camas extension taps marvel
ously productive grain country. The
yield per acre is larger even than in
the Palouse; the estimate made when
the extension was projected was that
several million bushels year would be
reached by the new line. This is not
produced at present, for the farms
have not been developed for lack of
transportation, but the increase will be
100 per cent. this year and as much next
year" Ga

Cienfuegos, Cuba, June 25-Three Ameri
can officers who had been creating
disturbance in q house of ill-repute and
had resisted arrest, entered a carriage
and began firing their revolvers, wound

The troops. mostly recruits, on seeing
their officers were in danger, entrenched
themselves behind the wagons and began
shooting, wounding two policemen and
three civilians. A wealthy planter who
was passing in his carriage with his chill
dren, was struck by a Krag-Jorgensen,
receiving serious injury.
Senior Frias, the mayor, the Cuban gen.

PLAYED QUEER FRANKS.
Miraculous Escape From injury of a
Woman and Child.

Spokane, June 25.-During the most vo-
lent thunderstorm that Spokane has ever
experienced lightning struck two houses
and played pranks bordering on the mar
velous. One bolt struck the gable OF
Frank Hutton's residence, No. 1,732 Gard
ner avenue. In room directly under the
gable were sleeping Mrs Hutton and her
young son. When Mr.. Hutton reached
the room 1t was in frightful confusion.
The furniture was overturned, pictures
on the walls were awry and the bedstead
in which the mother and child were
asleep was in fractured pieces strewn
about the floor. The feather mattress on
the bedstead still occupied its relative po-
sition in the room, but rested on the floor
where a moment before the bedstead had
stood There was a gaping hole where
once the gable rested. Neither mother nor
child were injured.
Another bolt struck the pump house at
the Natatorium park, an amusement re-
sort and set fire to the building. The
pump house, two bath houses and their
contents were burned. Loss about $40, QUO.
The thunderstorm occurred at a. IT.
and was followed by heavy rain.

NAVAL PROPOSAL MADE
Russia Wishes to Limit the Ex-
penditures for Ships.
PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA
The Question of Exemption Presented
by the American Deiegates--Will
Probably Fail OF Con-
sideration.

London, June 26.-The correspondent
of the Times at The Hague, says: Fol-
lowing is the text of Russia's naval
proposal: "Acceptation of the principle
that for the term of three years the
sum Of naval budgets shall be deter
mined with an engagement not to in
crease the total during that triennial
period and with an obligation of an
neuncing in advance for said period:
First, the total in tonnage of those
ships of war which it is proposed to
build, without specifying the models
thereof second, the number of officers
and crews in the navy; and third, the
expenditures on works and ports, such
as forts, docks, arsenals and the like
The question of the exemption of pri-
vate property at sea from capture in
time of war has entered on a new stage
through the issue of the statement of
the American delegates. 1 hear on
good authority that certain foreign
power may extend the discussion to the
declaration of Paris, with view to
getting rid Of one feature, which Is not
considered advantageous.
The first half of the voluminous pa
per is merely summary of past ac-
ton on the part of the United States
in the matter. The proposal itself fol-
lows:
Private property of all the citizens
or subjects of the signatory powers,
with the exception of contraband Of
war, shall be exempt from capture or
seizure on the high seas or elsewhere
by the armed vessels or by the military
forces of any of the said signatory
powers, but nothing herein contained
shall extend the exemption from seizure
to vessels and their cargoes which may
attempt to enter port blockaded by
the naval forces of any of the said
powers ST. g
The American delegates, referring to
the fact that the circular of Count
Muravieff= excludes extraneous matters,
says: THE fact of our having received
the instruction herein referred to from
the president of the United States
shows that our government believed
that the scope of the conference was
| wide enough to include this question.
| They urge as an argument that their
| proposal. if adopted as a rule of war.
| would ameliorate the hardship of naval
| warfare, but 1t has been conclusively
| proved by experience in past wars that
| the destruction of sea-borne com.
merce is one of the must humane ways
| of reducing the power of an enemy. AS
| a great thinker once observed, it is bet
ter to destroy mems property than their
| lives For the moment the question Is
whether the subject is one which cam
consistently with the terms Of the
Muravieff circular, be submitted to the
| conference. 1t seems scarcely probable
| that the matter will be solved in a
sense favorable ITO the American pro-
posal. AT all events some of the lead
! ing delegates consider it outside the
/ competency of the conference.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
A Gigantic Cattle Company to Be Formed
in Texas.

II
Forth Worth, Texas, June 25.-George
B. Loving, who is at the head of the
great deal having for its object the
formation of a gigantic cattle and
ranch company in Texas, in an inter-
view tonight said that the company
will be an American organization COM
posed of New York capitalists and not
Englishmen, as reported. The inten-
ton is to form a company with $4,000
900 capital. $25,00o,0O0 or sS0,000,o00 are
to be used in the purchase of cattle
and ranch property in this state, the
balance of the capital stock to be used
in operating the big concern. 1t is be-
lieved the business can be more sue
cessfully conducted and at less expense
under single management. For the
past two months parties representing
Mr. Loving have taken options on cat
tie and ranches to the amount or
100000. The options expire July 1,
but it is understood If necessary they
can be renewed. No doubt is ex-
pressed that the big deal will be con-
summated, for the prices to be paid
are fair.
Mr.. Loving says there is no intention
to form a cattle trust, merely an effort
to conduct an extensive cattle business,
the largest in the world. There are
5000, 900 cattle In Texas, valued at $780,
600, 900. Mr.. Loving says there is no in
tention to disregard the antitrust laws
of the state; that the organization of
the company is nothing more than an
immense cattle transaction.

ATLANTIC STEAMSHIPS LARDER.
Two and a Half Tons of Butter, Twenty
Thousand Eggs, Thousands of OYSTERS.

Zone tidy little refrigerator about six
feet wide and twice that depth is the
butterman's stall in this market under
the sea- writes Helen G. Candee in tell
ing of Housekeeping on an Ocean Steam
ship in the June Ladies Home Journal.
Little tubs of butter are arranged on
selves to the amount of 5000 pounds. and
in company with these are 10000 EGGS.
Twenty-Five hundred quarts of milk and
cream are stored in a separate room, all
having been sterilized. This market has
a room especially for salt meats, and here
are hams. bacon and tongues to the
amount of 1900 pounds. There are some
articles of food without which the epicure
would be unhappy, and which must be
alive when cooked. Chief among these
are oysters, of which 5000 are carried to
meet the wants of passengers. CLANS
are only provided to the number of 1,500.
HOLSTERS are not abundantaly supplied;
100 pounds is all the storeroom shelters.
This market in the bottom of the ship
contains, besides the things mentioned
fruits green vegetables and an enormous
stock of groceries. The latter is only linn
tied by space, for groceries are not per-
ishable goods and will keep from one
voyage to another until used. Tea and
coffee are used in large amounts-about
coffee. Pershable supplies are taken on
board in proportion to the number of
passengers booked, and anything of this
kind which is left over when the ship
reaches port is eaten by the crew."
