Five hundred Democrats of the Eighth
ward met in a rousing rally last night at
Plebusch's hail. Lafond and Arundel
The attendance was so great that dur
ing the greater part of the session chairs
were unobtainable and standing room
was in demand. DR.. Hinsch spoke in
German to those of his nationality, and
his remarks concerning the city admin
istrations under Republican rule and the
prospects for new administration rep
resenting clean politics were roundly
cheered.
Matt Bantz gave an hours time to
ringing denunciation of the methods en-
ployed by the Republican members OF
the board of aldermen to delay and pre-
vent the passage of measures during the
last two years for the benefit of the
Eighth. He again called attention to the
condition of the Western avenue bridge

months ago the council, after a fight,
allowed a resolution instructing the city
engineer to prepare plans for it's repair

FILIBUSTERING CHICAGOANS.
WASHINGTON, April 19-United States
Consul Hay at Pretoria has notified the
state department by cable of the reported
action of the members of the Chicago am
bulance corps in taking up arms in the
Boer army, instead Of continuing with
the hospital corps, to which they had
pledged themselves upon leaving the
United States. Apparently the Portuguese
authorities at Lourenzo Marques had
doubt as to the actual neutrality of these
men, for the party was detained many
days at the port before they were allowed
to proceed over the railroad to Pretoria.
The dispatches stated that letter from

TRAGIC OUTCOME OF ROW IN Ala.
BAMA REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION
GASToN SCOTT THE VICTIM
As DoOrkeeper He Attempted to
Exclude Frank L. MOragne
From the Hall of the
Convention.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 1s.-The
Republican convention, which met here
today, resulted in the predicted split. and
two delegations will be sent to the ma
tonal convention. There were stormy
scenes at the capitol prior to the meeting
of the convention, and the result was the
serious wounding of CASTOR Scott. a.
young white man, by Frank L. Moragne,
of Gadsden, who had been chosen SER
geant-at-arms of the convention by the
executive committee
The split in the convention was shown
to be inevitable last night, when the spe-
cial committee, appointed under the pro-
visions under the Washington amend
ment, failing to select a chairman, the
state convention passed resolutions to
proceed with the making up of a tempo
rary roll call of the convention, and the
selection of temporary officers by a vote
of II to TO-
When this resolution was passed Chair
man Vaughan, the leader of faction.
left the room with his followers. The re-
naming members of the committee pro-
ceeded with their work, naming NJ ID.
Wyckersham, of Mobile, for temporary
chairman, and Frank L. Moragne, of
Gadsden, for sergeant-at-arms.
SHOOTING OF SCOTT.
Chairman Vaughan and his friends, how
ever, had possession of the hall, and
would admit none of their opponents.
When Moragne demanded admittance he
became involved in a quarrel with Gas
ton Scott, a doorkeeper, as a result OF
which Moragne fired three shots at
Scott. The combatants were at close
range, and Scott received the first bullet
in his hand as he was attempting to
knock away the pistol. The second shot
entered Scott's left breast, just above the
heart, and he fell to the floor The third
shot went wild. 1t is thought that Scott
will recover.
An older brother of Scott followed
Moragne towards the governors office,
and when Scott reached the governors
door he drew his pistol and fired two
shots at random down the corridor.
Scott ATTEMPTED to enter the governors
office, but was stopped and mis- weapon
taken from him. Moragne was placed in
jail.
Gov. Johnson, when he learned of the
shooting, ordered the state house closed
against both factions.

CANNON AMENDMENr CARRIED.
Important Change In Naval Bill
Made by House.

Important Change In Naval Bill
Made by House.
WASHINGTON, April 19-The house
spent practically the entire day debating
proposition in the naval bill designed to
turn over to the navy the survey and
charting. of the waters of Cuba. Puerto
Rico and the Philippines. The bill car
ried an appropriation of 100000 for this
purpose.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appropria-
tions committee, led the fight against it,
arguing that such surveying of these
waters as should be made should be per.
formed by the coast and geodetic sur
vey, which, he said, could-do the work
cheaper and better.
In the end the house sustained his
view, adopting an amendment offered by
him to appropriate only the regular
$4,000 for ocean surveys.
The chairman of the committee OF the
whole, Mr.. Payne, overruled the point
of order against the appropriation for
the new naval academy, but an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Cannon was adopted
providing that before the money appro
priated by the bill for the academy be
expended plans for the whole improve
ment not to exceed $4,000, ,OOO be submitted
and approved by the secretary of the
navy.

WISCONSIN RIVER FLOOD.
Feared That Great Loss OF PrOpert!
VIII he EntaiIed.

MERRILL, Wis, April 19-The flood
situation in the Wisconsin river is very
serious. The water IS rising rapidly,
showing an increase in height of nine
inches since last night. 1t is feared that
100000 feet of logs in a boom will move
into the river and carry away several
bridges along the city limits. Five hun
dred feet of the railroad track has been
washed out and several logging roads
have been entirely destroyed. AS much
water as possible is being held back from
the Tomahawk river by the Bradley dam,
but 1t is feared the gates will not be able
to hold back the water, which, If It
breaks through, means dire disaster TO
all the saw mill interests
Wausau, Wis, reports that the rain has
stopped and no more fear from food is
entertained in that section. The bridges
are all tied down with cables.
Chippewa Falls reports that high water
has prevented half the saw mills from
starting.
