ton in the Sanderson attempted murder

toned the fact until after his death. When

Journey for Help.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 12.-The steamer
Dixon, with twenty-five persons aboard, is
safe at Two Harbors after a nights ride in
a gale, minus her wheel, and Gus Olson
and Fred Hector, the twenty-year-old son
of Captain Hector. of the steamship, are
the heroes of the hour. The Dixon lost her
wheel yesterday afternoon, when on her
way to Duluth, about eighty miles down
the north shore. a heavy sea was rolling
and a northwest gale, blowing thirty miles
an hour. threatened TO drive the almost
helpless steamer over on the south shore.
Gus Olson is one of the commissioners of

Dixon, but well known to Captain Hector
as a thorough sailor, and we'll acquainted

CARACAS. Venezuela, Dec. 12.-It is an

crushed.
A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, under
date of Dec. 6. says: 1.-THE latest authentic

pitched battles are described as the merest
skirmishes, i'm which the mortality is tri-

is to keep the government troops moving,
and the Splendid triumphs' of the latter
really signify nothing but the systematic
organized retreats of the insurgents. The
alleged frightful loss of the insurgents are
especially regarded as falsifcations. At

HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Dec. 1.-THE

beginning of the war between the trust and
the co-operatives and independents on one
side, dissension has developed in the ranks
of l.. A. 900. which may mean the eventual
disruption of the workers union. Because

he has declared them nonunion. In sign
ing the blowers and gatherers' scale Cum
ningham scratched out clause 10 which
made il necessary TO defer a start until
the stocks in the hands of the trust were
reduced to 100000 boxes. Burns ordered
the men-1l6 in all-not to go to work, but
every man was in his place when the fac
tory started last week, in open defiance of
the mandate. Similar trouble aas de-
veloped at q number of other places, some
OF which are in Indiana. and If Burns
treats all alike he will drive from the union
a large proportion of the men. The recent
assessment OF an extra Is per cent. on
employed members of the Window Glass
Workers Association for the benefit of
idle members is also responsible for the re-
bellion against Burns, as IL is said this, in
addition to other assessments. makes the
total 20 per cent. of the wages earned.
A majority OF the members employed are
protesting vigorously and declare they will
not submit. a vote of the membership is
now being taken TO decide whether pay
ment can be enforced.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

BLOOMINGTON. Ind. Dec. 12.-Another
effort will be made to convict alleged White
Cappers in this county, and TO that end a
civil suit was filed in Circuit Court to-day
by Mrs. Belle Britton, of Newark, Greene
county, against several well-known citi-
zens of Monroe and Greene county. The
men named in the complaint are Jacob B..
Young, George Marshall, Dent Gooden.
Uriah Resler, James Fuller, John Nash,
William Sample, Greenbury Mcintosh,
Harvey Resler, William D. Wright. VIM.
a. Booher, Ira Arthur, George Nash and
Ira Wright.
Mrs. Britton alleges that a few months
ago masked men entered her home, forcing
an entrance into the house while she was
asleep. The men dragged her husband
from the house, others held her and choked
and cursed her and threatened to kill her
if she did not keep still. During this time a
mob of men a short distance away brutally
whipped Mr.. Britton with switches. Mrs.
Britton's nervous system, she alleges, has
been completely broken down, her eye
sight injured and she is a physical wreck.
For this reason she brings the suit, asking
for $40, 900 judgment. This will be the third
effort made TO secure civil damages in
White Cap cases in this county, but as yet
the jury has either acquitted the defend
ants of responsibility or disagreed.

The Ohio and Nebraska elections insured

on the money question. Absolutely no light
was thrown on the Philippines. Everything
was left TO Congress. and we know no more
than We knew before. The plan for the

deposits is right and agrees with the Re-
publican platform of 1896. The world has
settled the money question in favor OF
gold. You can no more have "A double
