DISTRICT OF ALASKA.
New Military Department
Created by the President.

Washington, Jan. S.-The president
has created a military department con-
sisting of the territory of Alaska and
assigned Col. George NJ. Randall, Eighth
U. S. infantry, to command. Col. Ran
dali is on duty with his regiment in
Cuba and will report here en- route to
Alaska on January Is.
Col. George NJ. Randall was born in
Ohio and entered the service as a priv
ate in the Fourth Pennsylvania infan-
try April 20, 1861, and rose to be a lieu
tenant colonel of volunteers June l,
1865. He was appointed to the regular
service Oct. p, 1881, and rose by regular
promotion to be colonel on Aug. 8, 1898.
He was breveted for gallant service in
the battle of Antietam, again breveted
for gallant service in front of Peters
burg and for gallant service in the at
tack on Fort Stedman, Va, and was
again breveted for gallant services
against the Indians in Arizona. He has
had a widely extended and distinguish
ed service on the frontier.
Col Randall was sent to Alaska and
was in command of Fort St. Michael at
the outbreak of the war with Spain. He
was appointed brigadier general of vol
unteers and returned from Alaska, but
did not reach the country in time to
participate in the active service in Cuba
or the Philippine islands He was as
signed to the command of the third di-
vision of the second army corps and
when the volunteers were mustered out
he commanded his regiment in Cuba,
where he is now on duty.

WILL BE NO ADVANCE.
Santa Fe Management Positive
ly Refuses Increase to
Trainmen.

The Santa Fe management has posi-
lively refused to grant the trainmen an
increase in pay, as demanded. The
grievance committees of the Order OF
Railway Conductors and Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen are still in Chi
cago. and today a conference is being
held between the members and the ma
tional chiefs of the two orders. Just
what will be the outcome of the confer
ence is a question.
The Santa Fe officers refused the in
crease asked for, which amounted to
an advance of about Is per cent, on the
ground that the Santa Fe trainmen
We're now receiving as much, and in
some cases more, than the trainnen of
other western roads. In taking this
stand the executive officers followed
General Manager Mudge's lead, as Mr.
Nudge refused to grant the advance at
the time of the first conference on the
same ground.
Mr.. Nudge said today that he believ-
ed the Santa F'e trainmen were too SEN
sible and too well satisfied with their
treatment at the hands Of the company
to think of a strike.
Several concessions, in the matter of
runs and work, were made by the Santa
Fe management, and several question
able points of the schedule were de-
fined. The committees have been in
Chicago for the past ten days.

made the Leland forces win have to op-
pose a new element in the shape of the
Grimes and Burton followers. They
have not been making a fight in Le-
lands bailiwick and have kept out of
the congressional controversy but they
are now getting on the togs of war.
This war demonstration has two phases:
the first is to protect Grimes; the sec
ond is to protect Hornaday, the Burton
candidate for congreSSman-a at-large.
1t is believed that the Randolph can
didacy for congressman -at-Iarge is
bluff Leland is believed to be more
sagacious than to place two prominent
offices in the same town. Then, too,
this deal has the appearance of having
thrown Broderick over. If Broderick
should get this idea into his head he
will undoubtedly add some fuel to the
fire by coming out for congress in the
First district. AS Broderick has prom
ised to keep out and not interfere with
Curtis if he should be a candidate it is
likely to be Curtis move and then Mr..
Leland's air castles will get a fall.
What was once a district quarrel is
now becoming contagious and the po-
liticaI conditions of the whole state
seem to be passing under the influence
of this controversy. Plans in other dis
trfcts are based upon the result in the
First The suspense attending this fam
Gus battle extends to other political af-
fairs and it will be a relief when the
convention is over and The nominee has
been selected.

GEN.WHITE HOLDS OUT
Fierce Fighting at Ladysmith
For Many Hours.
BOer Attack Finally Repulsed
With Great Carnage.

New York, Jan. s.-A dispatch to the
World from London says:
The panic prevailing here is vividly
illustrated by the following from the
Observer, ordinarily the staidest of un-
ion journals:
1.-THE government have two courses
open to them-they could prepare for
the coming storm by landing their pas
sengers and replacing them with effec-
tive men, or they can drift. Drift being
the habitual policy of the elderly and
obese, is the course that will probably
be pursued in this case.
Further military disaster will excite
the public feeling to a revolutionary
height. The queen will be left face to
face with her people and committee
of public safety will become the only
alternative to the present ministry. The
expenditure of millions on guns is
panic expenditure, as the appointments
of Roberts and Kitchener were panic
appointments"
The above was written before
French's reverse was known, by which
the Beers completed their record by de-
feating every British general sent
against them.
The situation undoubtedly is very
grave. It is rumored that parliament
will be summoned before the end of this
month.
The London Morning Posts military
expert says:
The news from the seat of war is very
grave. From the western theater the
Beers announced that they took Kuru-
man New Years day. Gen. Walker s
announcement of the loss of a company
in Gen. F'rench's command is not mo-
mentous, though significant. The i'm
portant news comes from Ladysmith.
Then the expert quotes official dis
patches and specials showing that the
fight was still going on at Ladysmith
at 3:15 Saturday, and concludes:
mo doubt the Boer general resolved
to try whether by persistent attack he
! could not make an end of Gen. Whites
resistance, since he was in place to
resist any effort on Gen. Buffers part.
| Today or tomorrow may bring word
that Gen. Whites division has ceased
| to exist a military force.
LAS matter of calculation and pro-
| bability the chance of Gen. Whites es-
| Gaping from Ladysmith in indistin-
| guishable from the chance that Gen.
| Butler will attack and defeat the Beers
| in front of him. Gen. Butler was not
| ready on Saturday. His resource on
| hearing of the attack on Gen. White
I on Saturday was to order a demOnStra-
ton. He might as well have ordered 4
| display of fireworks. Gen. Whites only
chance is that his force is the flower of
| the British army and their resistance
| will be ended by nothing but disable
| ment or death.

mander in the force which is attacking

CABLE CAR CRASH.
Collision at Nineteenth and
TroOst, Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan. S.-A northbound
Troost avenue cable train plunged into
an eastbound Nineteenth street cable
car at Nineteenth street and Troost av-
nue. last evening, severely injuring a
number of persons. No one was dam
gerouSly injured, owing to the fact that
the grip car of the Troost avenue train
struck between the two cars of the
Eighteenth street train. Both trains
were derailed, the Eighteenth street
train being thrown five or six feet from
the tracks. 1t would have gone much
further but the grip prevented it. The
passengers, of whom there was a heavy
load on each train, were thrown in ev-
cry direction, and for awhile it was
thought that several We're killed or
MANNED for life
The Troost avenue train was manned
by Conductor Kelley and Gripman Don
ivan, and the Eighteenth street car by
Conductor F. X. Vogel and Gripman
W. T. Shepherd. Just as the Troost
avenue train started to go down the hill
from Twenty first to Nineteenth street
at 6:10 O'Clock an Eighteenth street
train was proceeding east on Nine
teenth street. The fiagman at the
junction of the two streets, Lon. Mus
grove, saw the two cars, and, it is said,
swung his red lantern, giving the TrOOst
avenue car the right of way. He Also
it is claimed, gave the stop" signal to
the Nineteenth street car. This latter
signal, Musgrove claims, was not heed
ed, for if it had been. there being an
incline from Harrison street to Troost
avenue, the moment the gripman let
loose of the cable his car would have
come to an almost instantaneous stand
still.
The Troost avenue car ran down the
hill at its usual rate of speed, and the
gripman, Shepherd, obliViouS of danger
kept his eyes looking straight ahead.
Just as he approached the corner he
saw the Nineteenth street train, but
there was not sufficient time for him to
stop his train, although he threw on
both his brakes. His car struck the
Eighteenth street train just between
the grip car and trailer, lifting it nearly
a foot in the air. His car was badly
damaged, but as he had braced himself
for the shock, he escaped without any
injury.
The Eighteenth street train was de-
rallied and thrown nearly six feet from
the tracks. The grip car was wrenched
and torn in several places, while the
trailer was badly wrecked. The pas
sengers, of whom the majority were
women, screamed and yelled. In an in
Stant there were hundreds of persons in
the street, coming from the houses and
buildings in the vicinity. The injured
persons v ere taken into CaStelaw's s
drug store on the southwest corner.
All of the injured that could be in
dueed were taken in carriages to their
respective homes by the railroad Off
ciaIs.
When a reporter visited the scene of
the accident a short time after the col
lision there was no one who knew any
thing about it. The crews of the two
trains had been laid off, the fiagman
sent home, and the debris cleared away.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
Movement Is Meeting With Success
In Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. s.-As the result of the
movement in favor of Sunday closing,
stores of Chicago that had been open
seven days a week for years past were
closed yesterday. Tho movement which
was inaugurated some time ago by the
butchers and retail clerks organization
and supported by labor organizations,
clergymen and laymen, is assuming a
general character. Alderman John 7. Rus
sell in discussing the Sunday closing
movement at a citizens meeting said:
Sunday closing is no longer a question
it is a reality.
In many churches yesterday the pas
tors referred to the matter in
their sermons and warmly endorsed
it from a religious as well a
benevolent standpoint They exhorted the
members of their congregations not to
make any purchases on Sunday and thus
to support the efforts of the clerks.
In the prelude to his sermon. Bishop
Fallows referred to the efforts for Sun
day closing, He earnestly approved. Of
direction. He contended that in the
structure of mans frame and in the con-
struction of his body the necessity of
Sunday rest written.

BOYS IN BATTLE.
Engage in a Miniature "San
Juan Hill" in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Little Charles Hos
worth footed tin horn Sunday after
noon on the prairie at Western and
Wabash avenues, and Immediately a
hundred boys sprang "to arms at the
improvised bugle call A great battle
had been arranged and the two armies
of so boys each advanced toward each
other in military fashion.
A neighborhood feud started the mat
ter and under the truce of a white flag,
the boys had agreed to fight the battle
of San Juan HILL" Many of the boys
had rifles and shotguns-most of them
unloaded fortunately. Those who could
not get guns had brooms or sticks. Some
of the boys had revolvers.
The two armies threw themselves up
on one another with a fury little short
of a real engagement. While the battle
ragged, the patrol wagon from the police
station came tearing to the scene. Big
policement charged the combined
American and Spanish forces and
when the smoke and dust had lifted,
fleeing forms of the youthful warriors
could be seen disappearing toward all
points of the compass On the battle
field, wounded and moaning lay several
boys. The worst injured was Lieut."
Harry Johnson, IL years old and
Spanish" officer, who was shot in the
back. The Spanish" commander, Gen.
Artie Standt, had a bullet wound in his
left leg. Others had slighter injuries,
but none of the boys was serious hurt.
They We're taken to their homes. Later
the police arrested Emil Gustafson,
aged Is, who, they claimed, fired the
bullets which hit the two Spanish" Of

which may we'll affect the action Of a
tribunal that possesses both the legal
and the equitable jurisdiction. Il is
evident this case cannot be looked
upon as a conflicting authority; for by
a simple expression Of opinion iE dis
missing a bill the court were able to
prevent new litigation below and
practical rehearsing by them of case,
upon the merits of which the minds OF
the court were evidently very clear.
It seems to be manifest from all the
foregoing considerations that this
court cannot assume jurisdiction to
determine the rights of the parties to
this suit as presented by the answer to
the amended bill.
On the Other hand 1t is equally
manifest that the granting Of an in
junction simply for the purpose o.
maintaining the status quo. and pre-
venting irreparable injury pending the
adjudication Of legal rights by a court
of law. is a familiar and unquestioned
srou1d of equitable jurisdiction. and
one which furnishes frequent occasion
for its exercise.
