Astoria's assertion that the railroads
can AFFORD ami IN all justice should give
to the farmers Of the interior the Op-
aon Of exporting their wheat at the
mouth OF the Columbia river. IL they
so prefer, by reducing the rate on the
down grade haul to Astoria equal to
that charTed over the mountains to
Tacoma and Seattle. It Is kind enough
to say. however. that it has no objec-

provided the people OF Astoria bring it
about by their own "unaided" efforts,
Just how the people OF Astoria are to
influence the mighty railroad cOmbina-

system Of the Northwest to re-adjust
their relations with each other and
with the wheat pool 50 as to surrender
To the producers OF the interior the
millions Of money they now annually
absorb, through maintenance Of present
conditions. or why Astoria alone is un-
der obligation to secure and confer this
inestimable boon upon the farmers of
the interior at her own expense and
entirely through her own efforts, the
Statesman doesn't explain. The Ore

FIGHTING In HAVANA.
THIRTY TO FORTY PEOPLE ARE
WOUNDED.
Police oficer Roughly Handled Mt q Null
iato Ball, and when Reintorcements
Arrived the Crowd Opened
Fire Upon Them.

Havana, March 21.-A serious con.
f1ict between the police and people of
Havana Saturday night resulted in
much shooting and clubbing. From
thirty to forty people were wounded,
some seriously. Among the injured is
Police Captain Estampes, formerly q
colonel in the Cuban army.
The trouble occurred at a public
mulatto ball in San Jose street, an un-
savory quarter. Many Cuban officers,
colonels and captains among them,
attended the affair. A policeman on
duty in that street, following orders
to prevent a crowd collecting in front
OF the building where the ball was in
progress, asked group Of men TO go
in or disperse. His request was un-
needed, and after repeating it he was
attacked by the group, whereupon
many men issued from the building
and set upon him, took away his club
and revolver and handled him roughly.
The policeman Immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered twenty re-
serves to the scene. The crowd had
prepared for their arrival 1t is said
they opened with revolver fire upon
the police, which the latter returned,
the shooting being kept up until the
ammunition was exhausted. The op-
ponents of the police acted with deter
mination in the affray. Many who
were in the building mounted the roof,
which was low, and fred upon the po-
lice from that point. They were ap-
parently well armed, and this fact,
together with the resolution with
which they fought, seems to confirm
the belief that the attacking party was
mostly made up Of Cuban officers, as
ordinary civilians would have fled from
the revolvers of the police. Several
women were injured during the affray.

DUEL IN THE STREETS.
How Arkansas Politicians Settle Their
Political Differences.

Hot Springs, Ark, March ls,-As the
result of ill-feeling growing out of the
mayoralty contest, a shooting took
place In this city in which five men
lost their lives, and bystander was
seriously wounded. The dead are
Thomas Toler, chief of police; j. Il.
Hart, city detective; Thomas +, Goslee,
police sergeant; John Williams, son of
sheriff Williams; Louis Hinkle, driver
of a brewery wagon. Ed Spears was
shot in the neck and may die.
Sheriff Williams was warm sup
porter of the regular Democratic nomi-
supporters of the opposition candidate
Feeling ran high, and early in the
afternoon shots were exchanged in
front of the city hall between the
sheriff and his son John, on one side,
and Sergeant Goslee on the other, but
no one was injured
After this both parties determined
to have il out. Toler, Hart and Cos
lee were together walking south on
Central avenue at about half-past five
o'clock when they met Sheriff Will
Iiams and his two sons, John and COT
fey, and Ed Spears deputy sheriff, in
front of Lemp's beer depot. The quar-
rel was renewed. No one can tell who
fired the first shot, but in moment
there was general fusillade, il
which forty or Fifty shots were ex
changed.
When it was over, Toler, Hart, Cos
lee and Hinkle, a non-combatant, were
dead, and John Williams died about al
hour later from his wounds. Loui
Hinkle attempted TO separate the com
batants at the commencement and wa
shot in the head and died instantly.

The signed treaty of peace will be
forwarded to the French ambassador

BEHEADING INSURGENTS.
Fiiipinos Who Talk Peace Are Promptly
Decapitated by Aguinaldo.

Manila, March 22.-It is reported on
hitherto reliable authority that Agui-
naldo is taking extreme measures to
suppress efforts calculated to cause a
cessation of hostilities. Twelve adher-
ents of the plan of independence, resi-
dents of Manila, have been condemned
to death because they wrote, advising
surrender, and all loyal Filipinos have
been called upon to perform the ma
tional service of dispatching them.
On Friday last General La Garda Wis
tied Las Gordas for the purpose of ad-
vising Aguinaldo to cease hostilities.
He argued with the insurgent leader
and attempted to convince him of the
folly of his persistence, in the face of
overwhelming odds. Aguinaldo was
furious at the advice and ordered Cen
eral La Gorda to be executed immedi-
ately. The unfortunate general was
promptly decapitated.

OF an operation on wound received in

ed. He never fully recovered, al

Hutchinson, Kan, March 22.-An

Moore, which burned Monday night.
A coroner's jury investigated the case,

When the firemen entered the house,
after having partly quenched the
flames, they found the five children
lying side by side in a bed on the floor,
all dead, but not badly burned.
The coroner's autopsy developed con.
vincing evidence of an awful crime.

Three Governments Divided Over Propo-

Washington, March ls-As negotia-
tions are now in progress between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many respecting the kingly succession
In Samoa, any action of the so-called
provisional government that would
tend to force crisis prematurely
would have mischievous effects. The
German government is regarded as
being particularly solicitous that there
should be no outbreak at this time,
but unfortunately seeks to impose con
ditions in the pursuit of this purpose
that II accepted would seriously com
promise the alleged rights Of both the
United States and Great Britain.
Our government prefers to adhere
strictly to the lines of the Berlin treaty
so long as that conven tion remains un-
changed.
1t is understood here that the pro
visional government referred to In the
news dispatches is nothing more than
an assemblage of some of the subchiefs
and that even Mataafa, the candidate
for kinQship. has not joined II.

Insurgents Are Convinced That 1t Is Useless

Washington, March 20. - Advices
have been received from Manila which
indicate that the climax may occur at
any hour. The officials here are very
well pleased with the condition of at
fairs, but will not at present discuss
the details of the dispatches The In
dications are that hostilities may end
within very short time. President
Mckinley has been SO advised.
The reasons for the belief of General
Otis that a climax might come at any
hour were not stated, but his assump-
tion was based on the favorable reports
he had received from various sources
that the Filipinos were tired Of the
war and Aguinaldo's leadership. 1t is
believed at the war department that
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Filipinos of the
uselessness of trying to drive out the
United States forces The fighting has
been of different character from that
to which they were accustomed when
the Spaniards were in possession OF
| Manila.

Norwegian Assembly Openly Insults Its

Christiana, March 18.-Sixty Leftists,
members of the storthing, the legisla-
tive assembly Of Norway, have declined
an invitation to dine with the Swedish
Crown Prince Gustaf, who is acting as
regent of Sweden and Norway during
the absence of King Oscar IL, who is in
southern France, seeking to recuper-
ate his health.
The refusal of the Norwegian legis-
lators to accept the hospitality of the
regent is doubly significant, as empha-
sizing the resentment provoked in
Norway by a recent saying of the
crown prince in a public meeting at
Stockholm, that he would not object
to lead the Swedes against the head
strong Norwegians in a resort to arms
to settle the quarrel between the two
countries, and as the most striking in
dication of open enmity to Sweden
which has been shown in Christiana
of late.

OF tho state retaining the dynamite
monopoly, because, as he argued, the
South African republic being an inland
