INTERN ARBITRA
Harrison and Cleve-
Iand Asked to Serve on hoard.

The United States is one of the first OF
the great powers to demonstrate its good
faith in carrying out the provisions OF the
treaty of The Hague looking to the univer-
sal arbitration of international differences.
Each of the nations to the treaty was au-
thorized to appoint four members OF an In
ternational board of arbitration. Under this
authority President Mckinley has request
ed former Presidents Harrison and Cleve-
land to accept appointments on this board.
Responses are expected at the White
House. when the two other members OF the
board will be selected.
The selection of the two highest citizens
of this country, next to the President HIM
self, would give a standing to this country
on an international board that could not
be surpassed by any other country. The
fact that there are possibilities of trouble
among the European countries may be
taken into consideration in the offer. that
has been made and lends significance to
the action of the President.

iron Of Chicago, who says he was shot
twice by John H. Esson of the same city,
in the Vendome Hotel in this city yester-
day. was still alive and conscious this

Police Captain Burns, in whose precinct
the tragedy occurred, said today: Il am
puzzled by the fact that the revolver was
thrown to the street, inasmuch as the am
bulance surgeon says Esson's death was
instantaneous"
Stridiron made an additional statement
today to the effect that Esson asked him
just before the first shot if he knew where
his Esson's) girl Lily was, and when Strid-
iron replied that he did not, Esson called
him liar and then fired.
The police theory is that there are two
women in the case and that Esson was

ROGERS OUT OF THE RACE.
Washington FusiOnists for A. v. Faw-
cett or c. s. XernceA.


SEATTLE, Wash, August 2S.-The pop
ulists, democrats and silver republicans are
holding their state convention in this city.
The most significant development yesterday
was the apparent defeat of the Rogers
slate in the populist convention, which car
ries with it Gov. Rogers the fusion nom
inee for the governorship.
At last nights session of the democratic
convention United States Senator George
Turner was nominated by the regular
ganization for permanent chairman. Chas.
G. Heifner was nominated by the anti-Rog-
faction, and was elected by majority
of five six. The anti-Rogers people say
the vote was a true test of strength, and
Rogers. it would seem last night is out of
the race. A. V. Fawcett of Pierce county
or c. S. Vernees of Spokane is likely to be
nominated.
The silver republicans have done nothing,
and seem willing to stand by the work of
the populists and democratic conventions.

The Removal OF Trees on Cranberry Street
Still Casus BeIIi.

The removal of trees along the side
walk on Cranberry street has been a
bone of contention between
the city authorities and resident
property owners since the extensive
improvement of the street was begun
this spring. There were some fine
shade trees along the street that the
owners could scarcely be blamed for
wanting to preserve, at the same time
the street is about the only business
street on the West side and the city
is expanding large amount of money
to improve it, and the street commit
tee and council feel that as long as
they are putting in so much money
there, thus increasing the value of all
the property along the street, they
should not let a few shade trees in
terfere with perfect job of work. A
good deal of belligerency was exhibit
ted over the matter Wednesday night,
but nothing regarding the matter was
settled. The subject will probably
come up before meeting of full
council where the trouble should be
positively settled, and everybody made
acquainted with what is determined
upon so that they can govern them.
selves accordingly.

DISASTROUS RUNAWAY,
A Rudolph Man Probably Fatally Injured
This Morninu,

Constantine Susslofsky, a well-to-do
farmer OF the town of Rudolph, living
near the old place OF Thomas Payne,
was in town this morning and had
bought and loaded into his wagon a
new binder. He started for home and
had driven out as far as Will Nash'S
house on Fremont street, when the
team, which was high strung animals,
became frightened at the rattle of the
machinery and ran away. They turned
the corner here and passed into Maple
street and Mr.. SuSslofsky was thrown
from his precarious seat on the load
and it is supposed that the wagon ran
over him, although nobody seems to
have seen him when he was hurt. At
all events, he was picked up in almost
an inSenSible condition and carried
into the broom factory and Drs. Ridg-
man and LOOze were called to his
assistance. The bones in his right
shoulder were broken and a great
swelling on his neck and breast
appeared, probably the result of a
bursting blood vessel. 1t is not
thought the man can live and his wife
was sent for to be by his bedside in
case his injuries should prove fatal.
