Chicago Police Have New and Comp.
Heated HOld-up to Investigate.
Chicago, April 23.--J. III. Smith,
president of an organization styled the
Industrial Trades Union, at 151-l53
Michigan avenue, was arrested last
night, charged with robbery and dis
orderly conduct on warrant issued by
Justice Martin, on complaint Of Frank
Gustavson, carpenter.
Gustavson says he was summond to
the offices of the union by letter ask
ing him to accept position as fore
man over number OF carpenters.
Gustavson said that after conversing
with Smith few minutes, Smith drew
revolver and told him to throw up
his hands. Smith, he said, then went
through his pockets and took $40 and
some valuable papers and told him he
would shoot him unless he kept his
mouth shut. Two men, both of whom
wore stars, placed Gustavson, under
arrest, he declares. obeying Smiths
command. The alleged officers, Gus.
lawson says, then took him into hall
way. where they made him sign pa.
per, the contents OF which he was un-
able to read. The alleged officers,
Gustavson said, gave him dollar after
he had signed the paper and told him
to leave.
Gustavson then reported the matter
to the Central police station. Smith
at the station said he had never before
seen Gustavson. He will have hear

Washington, April 25.-The result Of
the inquiry, so far as it has gone into
the attempt to wreck the Welland
Canal locks by the use of dynamite,
was laid before the state department
today in special telegraphic report
from United States Consular Agent
Brush, at Clifton, town opposite Nj
agara Falls, on the Canadian side of
the boundary. The report completely
exonerates the Buffalo grain handlers
from all connection with the crime,
and strongly intimates that the attempt
was the working out OF regularly or
ganized conspiracy among certain per-
sons in the United States said to be
affiliated with the Irish secret associa-
tiOns.

Protest Against the Leasing OF Public
Arid Lands.

Arid Lands.
Salt Lake, April 2S.-Governor Lee.
of South Dakota, and Governor Poyn-
ter, arrived today and took part in the
proceedings of the governors of West
ern states, who have met to discuss
subjects of interest to this section.
After general discussion, the com.
mittee appointed TO formulate resolu.
tions against the leasing of public arid
lands by the general government and
demanding the cession OF such lands to
the several states should any change in
the present system be made, reported
the following, which were adopted:
Resolved, That the people of the
states here represented are opposed abb
solutely to any legislation or any action
of any kind looking to, OF having for its
object, the leasing Of the public lands
of the United States by the general
government or any angency thereof.
Resolved, second, That the present
laws providing for the control. man.
agement and disposal of the public arid
lands of the United States are best
adapted to the needs and requirements
of the country, and conducive to the
settlement and occupancy thereof by
bona fide settlers.
Resolved. third, That il It shall be
found that the present laws affecting
the arid lands are not satisfactory to
the congress of the United States. then
we favor a cession of the said arid lands
to the several states wherein they are
situated under such terms and condi-
tions as will guarantee the benefits OF
the free homestead laws to the people
OF the United States, and that will pre-
vent said lands either by fee simple
title, or by the leasing thereof from
passing into the possession or control
of large companies, syndicates, copror-
ations or wealthy individuals in large
quantities, to the exclusion of others,
and under such conditions that the sew.
oral states may have the income aris-
ing from said lands to be devoted to
the reclamation and improvement
thereof for settlement bona fide citi-
zens"
Governor Lee, OF South Dakota, was
the only one who opposed the resolution.
His opposition was simply because he
believed that the demand for cession
to the states should be put first. A
form of letters to be sent out to other
governors was adopted.

Elephant Was ohoked to Death

New York, April 25.-"Dick," a
vicious elephant belonging to the Sells

death in Madison Square Garden in an
attempt to subdue him. A few weeks
ago he became dangerous, and heavy
chains were fastened to his legs and
tusks. While preparations were being
made this morning to move the cicrus
from the garden, "Dick" began to
trumpet. Fearing stampede, huge
ropes were passed around the giants

make any impression upon him, and
Mr.. Sells had elephants attached to the
ropes. They pulled with such vigor
that he was choked to death.

STRANGE TALE OF CRIME.
Rich Colorado Miner Charged with
Numbering Four Men.

Chicago, April 25.-A remarkable
sequel to a series Of alleged crimes in
the Rocky mountain country has come
to light here. The Chicago develop
ments are told in an interview by At
torney William ]. Candlish, Of this
city, in explanation OF notices received
by the Chicago police asking fol the
arrest of George II. Wright, alias,
James s. Weeks, alias G. 7. Case,
alias Mr.. Stevens, native of Michigan,
and graduate OF the law department.
of the university of Ann Arbor,,
charged with numbering four persons.
three in Utah and one in Colorado,
Attorney Candlish says he became ac-A
quainted with Wright because they.
lived at the same Chicago hotel in
July, 1897, and Wright engaged him
to go West and gather evidence to de-
fend him on the charge of having muir
dered man named Champion, near
Guffy, Colo, in January, 1897. Wright
then, it is alleged, under the name of
Case, decided TO Candlish bank build
ing, a residence, two Office buildings
and numerous vacant lots in Cripple
Park and Guffy, Colo, besides trans
ferring to him all his stock in various
mining enterprises. Candlish says
Case left his Office to return in an hour
with 5000 as advance payment on Cand>
lish's travelling expenses, and has not
returned to this day.
The Chicago man interested in
Cases mining properties sent Candlish
West, however, and he examined the
properties at Cripple Park and Guffy
and was later made president of the
Hub Hill Mining Company and of the
Fines Mining Company and counsel
for the Union Mining Company. Case
has been president OF the three COM
panies.
Case told Cendlish he was innocent
of Champions death and that the
charge was an effort Of enemies and
business rivals to ruin him. A circu-
lar issued by Sheriff George A. Storrs,
of Provo City, Utah, charges that
Wright murdered three boys in Utah
county, in February, 1896, and sank
their bodies beneath the ice of Utah
Lake, the alleged reason for the crime
being that the boys claimed to have
knowledge of Wright's guilt as a cattle
thief. This explanation was, it is al
legged, given to the Utah state board OF
pardons in the hearing for pardon last
April for the stepfather OF the three
boys who had been convicted of their
murder and sentenced to be hanged,
the witnesses before the pardon board
being the divorced wife OF the missing
Wright, whose property and official po-
sitions have SO strangely fallen to At
torney Candlish, half way across the
continent in Chicago.

MANY REBELS KILLED
A Bloody Week on the Island
of LuZon.
AMERICAN CASUALTIES WERE 2c
General Pillars Band Again at Work
and Gave San Miguel Garrison
Three-Hour Fight.

Manila, April 24.-Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila,
authentic reports, mostly official, show.
ing total of S7S Filipinos killed, II
officers and 244 men captured, and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Consid.
ering that the Filipinos entirely lack
hospital facilities, great majority Of
the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The American loss was nine killed and
l6 wounded. Two sergeants and one
private were killed in ambushes, while
escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province of Luzon.
General Piodel Pillars band, numbering
800, which was out of sight for three
months, the leader being reported
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San MIGUEL. Pillar is supposed
to be again in command. He gave the
American garrison at San MIGUEL, con-
sisting of three companies of the Thirty
fifth infantry, with Gatling, three
hours fighting, during night attack.
The loss of the insurgents in this en-
gagement is not included in the forego-
ing total, as they removed their dead
and wounded, but presumably it was
considerable.
Twenty-Five Filipinos in the province
Of Santangas attacked Lieutenant
Wendep who, with eight men, was
scouting near San Jose. The lieuten-
ant and five men were wounded, and
one private was killed.
Sergeant Ledonius, of the Thirty. fifth
infantry, was badly wounded in an
ambush near Baliuag. Lieutenant
Batch, of the Thirty.seventh infantry,
with 70 men, had a five hours fight
with 400 insurgents in the Nueva
Cacoras district. Twenty of the in.
surgents were killed.
Colonel Smith, of the Seventeenth
infantry, who captured General Mon
tenegro and brought him to Manila, is
in the isolation hospital, suffering from
smallpox. Colonel Smiths command
captured 1870 officers and men with
Montenegro. Montenegro, who was
formerly one of the most dapper off,
GERS in the Filipino army, looks worn
and haggard. He says he led terrible
life for months, and he has offered to
return to the north with Colonel Smith,
to endeavor to persuade his former COM
rades of the uselessness of opposing the
Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish pris-
oners from the province of South Luzon
have arrived at Manila. The insur-
gents have 400 more Spanish prisoners
in that district. Recently the Fill
pinos destroyed several rods of the rail-
road line near Panique, in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to wreck train.

JAPANESE COOLIES.
Home Governn ent to Put Stop
Wholesale Emigration,

Home Governm ent to Put Stop to
Wholesale Emigration.
Washington, April 25.-Information
has reached Washington to the effect
that the Japanese government itself,
and without waiting a request from the
United States, is about to take steps to
restrict the immigration OF Japanese
coolies to the United States. 1t is as
serted that the figures relative to this
immigration have been magnifed and
that, as matter Of fact, there are now
not more than about $4,000 or $4,000
Japanese within the limits OF the Uni
ted States, outeide OF Hawaii. It is
said that such emigration as has lately
occurred has resulted entirely from the
competition Of the two great Japanese
immigration societies; that the labor
ers have been practically brought here
under the delusion that there were un-
told opportunities for work at great
wages. The Japanese government is
interested in protecting its people from
hardships resulting from such imposi-.
tions, and that is the reason it intends
to establish restrictions upon the out
ward flow.

DAMAGE BY FOREST FIRES.
Much Timber Destroyed and Probably
Lives Lost.

Winnipeg, Man., April 24.-Exag-
gerated reports of heavy loss of life by
forest fires in the southeastern portion
of the province are denied. A special
train from the scene of the confagra-
tion today brings news that much val
liable wood and timber has been de-
stroyed, but there has been no loss of
life. Another story says:
"Fires along the southeastern region
are still raging. The entrapped spe-
cial train succeeded in breaking through
the flames, and arrived this morning.
Brought in with it were several strag-
gleis, found in a desperate condition
near Vassar. These fugitives lost
everything. All tell thrilling stories
of escape from death.
Besides immense quantities of lum-
ber and wood, two large lum bering out
fits are known to be burned. The driv-
ers and bushmen have scattered lin all
directions, and out Of 200 only about
80 are known to have reached q place
