THE LIGHT TURNED on.

The events of yesterday are sufficient
proof of these allegations. Newspaper
readers will remember that after the four
parties of fusion had held their conven-
tons and had appointed conference COM
mittee to bring about a fusion, 1t was prac-
tically the unanimous desire of the most
influential OF the fusion leaders to bring
about the nomination of J. w. Goodwin as
the head of the fusion ticket. They are
also aware that In the conference COM
mittee Eugene w. Way, by virtue of the
fact that he had through political trick
cry OF the most unprincipled sort packed
with his delegates and controlled both the
nonpartisan and Populist conventions,
held the balance of power and forced the
choice of Mr.. Cotterill, whom he had nomi-
mated in the nonpartisan convention. for
the FIRST place on the ticket They will
remember that Col. Blethen. together
with other reputable politicians. fought
bitterly against the selection of Ways
candidate and advocated the nomination
of Mr.. Goodwin. They were helpless Way
laughed in their faces and Mr.. Cotterill

character. is the personal candidate for

The Post-Intelligencer yesterday morn
ing made the direct charge that Eugene
w. Way the man who brought about the
nomination of George F. Cotterill for
mayor. and who has managed Mr., Cotter-
ills campaign throughout, is interested in
gambling in Seattle and has been drawing
SO a day from the Standard gambling
house in return for his personal good will
and the influence of his newspaper, the
Herald.
The truth Of this charge remains unde-
MED. The Times. the official mouthpiece
Of the fusion party in Seattle, last night
contained not line in defense of the rec
ognized leader of the fusion forces who,
at the Armory on Saturday night, was
publicly proclaimed by the orators OF his
party as an honest man. commanding the
respect OF the Christian people of Seattle.
The Post-Intelligencer submits to the hon
est supporters OF Mr.. Cotterill and to the
voters who win go to the polls today that
there is but one possible construction of
the silence OF Mr.. Way. and that Is that
the charge cannot be 'truthfully denied.
That the Times did not come to the de-
Tense of Mr.. Way, the observation-disclosures
Is in position to state positively was not
the fault Of Mr.. Way. who with brazen
effrontery. has set himself up as the lead
err OF the reform party in Seattle and
forced upon IL as its candidate for mayor
a man of his own creation. On the con-
trary, the Post-Intelligencer is prepared
to prove that Mr.. Way strained every
nerve TO secure for publication a denial OF
the charge made by this paper.

CALDERHEAD FOR CHIEF.

1t is an open secret that IL Candidate

day he will appoint as chief of police

the bosom friend OF Gene Way.

campaign just as II elected Mr.. Cotterill
will be Gene Ways hgurehead mayor.
The real manager of the campaign has
been Eugene w. Way. Two years ago
Mr.. Calderhead occupied the position that
Mr.. Cotterill does today He was
Gambler Ways candidate for mayor. He
was Overwhelmingly defeated. AS re-
ward for his faithful services in the past
Gambler Way proposes that Mr.. Calder
head shall be the head Of the Seattle po-
lice department
The people of Seattle are entitled to
an explanation OF Gambler Ways desire
to obtain control OF the Seattle police de-
partment even at the cost Of sacrificing
his candidate for mayor. II is possible
that the inside history OF public gam
bling in Seattle will throw some light on
the subject.

BRYAN WONT DEBATE.
Candidate Bryan Ridicules Hanna al
Leavenworth But Evades Di-
rect Answers.
WillsNot Debate with Hanna Unless He

@ licans Win.
Shufles out of Explanation of His In
fiuence For Ratification of
Peace Treaty. @aa Z.

( Leavenworth, Sept. 19--Bryan spoke
to 6,000 people here this morning. He
questioned as to Hanna's alleged ehal-
lnege to debate imperialism, and said
no challenge had been received by him
and he would not accept if it came.
He would be glad to debate public
questions with the republican candidate
for the presidency, but would not be
willing to debate with one whose re-
sponsibility is less. For, if elected,
he would be president. Hence if the
republican committee will certify that
Hanna is to be president in case of re-
publican success, he would willingly
meet him in joint debate. AS to
Hanna's charge that Bryan was in
fluenced by sinister motive in secur-
ing the ratification of the peace treaty
he said he must confess that Hanna is
an expert when he discusses sinister
motives. He can stand his criticism
if Senator Hoar can endure his praises.
Bryan says he reads Hanna's speeches
when he wants something funny.

passage, no one suspected but it was

thought to be very conclusive against
McGruer, it having been shown that
habituai drunkards had Il secured as
many as 45 pints and half pints of
liquor in one month. The decision
will be far reaching in its effects for
the reason that there are several cases
of the same kind that are pending. If (
the supreme court reverses the lower
court the fixtures and so forth that
were used in dispensing the liquors
will be contiseated the same as in the
case of pig that had been raided, and
the loss that will be suffered by the
druggists that are convicted of having
violated the law will be very heavy.
The enforcement league has evidence
against large number of the drug
glsts OF the state and upon the decision
OF the supreme court will depend
whether or not they will be prosecuted
the same as other blind piggers, or
whether actions will be brought
against the bonds as has been done in
several instances. II the supreme
court holds with the league the drug
stores that have violated the prohibi-
ton law will also be closed for a year,
the same as the place where common
blind pig has been operated.

ment of Leslie Simpson of Dickinson.

GRAPH. BUSINESS. II
st. Paul, Sept. 19.Judge William
Lochran OF the United States circuit
court yesterday issued an order for the
Northern Pacific railway to appear on
October 10 and show cause why the
United States, in its suit against the
Northern Pacific Railway company ct
al, should not be allowed to file a sup
Elementary bill, making the Northern
Pacific Railway company party to
the action. 5*
The suit is one begun in 1890 against
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
and the Western Union Telegraph
company and others. Under the char
ter and grant Of land and right OF way
given to the Northern Pacific and un-
der subsequent acts Of congress, it is
obligatory upon the railroad to build
and maintain a telegraph line along its
entire right Of way and branch lines
for railway, goyernm rental, commercial
and all other purposes. The company
accepted these conditions and has, the
plaint states, failed to comply with
them, but has made an exclusive con-
tract with the Western Union Tele-
graph company for the same.
In 1893 the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company went into the hands of
receivers, and in 1896 the mortgage on
the property was fpreclosed and the
present Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany organized. The railway COM
pany claims that the obligations stated
In the bill ceased with the foreclosure

istence Of the railroad company,
The government claims that the
Northern Pacific Railway company ac-
Raiired the right Of way and charter Of

cations imposed by the charter and

that present contracts be set aside,

Grand Forks, Sept. 19.-The October

It is expected there will be about 80
cases tried and it is expected that the
term will last the limit of two weeks.
The balance of the term will be held

Of the attorneys that have cases before
the supreme court arrived ON the even
ing trains and the balance will arrive
on the trains this. morning.
Though there are quite a number of
important cases that will be argued
there are but few that are of local in
terest. The argument upon the re-
hearing Of the case of Willis A. Joy
VS.. the bondsmen of S. w. Mclaughlin
will be heard. In the lower court the
bondsmen won out. There is consid-
cradle interest in this case locally as
a number of the most prominent bus
mess men Of the city are on the bond.
Another case that will be watched with
more than ordinary interest is the case
of the State VS.. McGruer. 1t comes up
from Cavalier county, where it was

have the place abated on the grounds
that it was common nuisance the
same as blind pig and should be
treated in precisely the same manner
Judge Fisk held with the defendant on
the grounds that an equitable action
