A SAILORS BELIEF
Superstition Prevents Commission
ing of Battleship on Day
First Fixed.

Washington Jan. 9-Captain Reite1
of the navy, who was supervising work
on the new battleship Wisconsin at
San Francisco, has recommended that
the plan of putting the ship in COM
mission on the first prox. be recon-
sidered.
When that plan was arranged the
fact was overlooked that February
falls on Friday. Old salts say there
is no record of a walship being put
into active service on that SO called
unlucky day of the week.
The matter evidently has been
brought to the attention of Captain
Chester, for a letter has just been re-
ceived at the department. from him
recommending that the Wisconsin be
pnt in commission on either January
80 or February 4, both Mondays, i'll
stead of on February 1, the day orr
ginally selected. Although he does
not cay so, it is pretty we'll understood
that the Friday superstition is the
only reason for a change of dates.
The Wisconsin will be assigned, tenn
porarily at least, to the Pacific station
and will prove a valuable acquisition
to. that feet.

STORM IN COLORADO.

Denver, Jan. "a great snowstorm
is raging in the mountains. The rail-
roads are badly crippled.
Colorado & Southern officials in
this city said this afternoon that the
train which was caught at Alpine
tunnel in a snow slide had been re-
lieved and that only the helper engine
remained in the blockade at the tun-
mel. A dispatch from Leadivlle, how
ever, declares that the train is in
the tunnel and that there are 10 pas
sengers on board, who have been una
BILE to reach any station, although
several of them have made attempts
to fight their way through the drifts.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the snow
was from four to six feet deep on the
level in the neighborhood Of Mount
Princeton and Alpine tunnel and it
was still showing.

Travel Between Twin Cities and
Western Points Made
Cheaper.

st. Paul, Jan. 9-Through rates
from the Twin Cities to the coast have
been cut, following the reduction of l
cent a mile in Montana and Wash
ington.
At a meeting held here today there
were present passenger officials Of the

from $50 to $50. Between eastern
terminals and Spokane it was reduced
from $50 to s42. so. The firstclass

$40 to Spokane and $50 to Helena
will be dropped.
The only change in west or cas-
bound second class business between
the Twin Cities, Helena and BUTT
was a reduction OF the $50 rate tt

AVENCES
The INSULT
GOVERNOR LIND BLACKS AN
EDITORIAL EYE.
WAS CALLED A TRAITOR
Recent Executive Resents Manner
in Which Dispatch Editor
Referred to Him.
BII.LITGS

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 9-Ex-Gov-
ernor John Lind, who retired from
Office at noon today, at 8 O'Clock this
afternoon called at the editorial rooms
of the st. Paul Dispatch and inquired
for Managing Editor H. T. Black.
Black was absent at the time, but
Lind waited his return and upon his
entering the room told him that his
PAPERS attacks upon his administra-
tion had been of such a character that
he had not felt inclined to take notice
of them, so long as he was in Office,
'.but now," said he, II am once more
a private citizen and"-with that the
ex-governor hit the managing editor a
terrific blow between the eyes. The
men at once clinched and a lively
mix-up was imminent when other
members of tho editorial staff inter
fered and separated the belligerents.
Lind then left the room.
When seen later the governor made
the following statement: Zone day
last summer the Dispatch accused me
of treason" he said. IT sent word
that Black must retract or l would
take occasion to make him take the
statement back. AS oon as l was
relieved from Office today l went to
Blacks office and told him what l had
come about. Then I struck him a
couple of times. That is all there is
to it.
81 don't care what anybody says
about me politically, but / will let nc
man call me a traitor. If l cannot
whip him I will kill him."
Black was seen a few minutes later.
He said: Lind came in here and
talked a few minutes then reached
over and struck me with a ring, l be-
lieve. What could a man do under
the circumstances other than eject thu
aggressor from his Office. That wa
what 1 did. Lind is not physically
man with whom a satisfactory igh
is possible"
Lind has but N arm.

New York, Jan. 9-Robert Bryan,
alias "Sailor Bob'' alias "Jack
Harris" wanted in Philadelphia for
completely in the murder there on
Friday night last of the Rev. Father
Riget, a prominent priest of the
Roman Catholic church, was arrested
in this city tonight.
Bryan has a saloon on North Eighth
street, Philadelphia.
When he was arrested tonight he
made a confession to Captain Titus of
the detective bureau, duplicating
several others, whose names were not
divulged. The story told by Captain
Titus regarding Bryan's confession is
that on Friday night there went to
Bryan's place a man whose name
Bryan gives, but is withheld by Cap
tain Titus, accompanied by three COM
panions, II the priest, Rev. Father
Riget. The latter was very much in.
toxicated.
The four men gave frequent orders

CANTEEN MUST GO
By Decisive Vote the Senate
Concurs in House
Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 9-The army can
teen is to be abolished, as the senate
today by a very decisive vote con
Cured in the house provision relative
to the army canteen. Only 15 votes
could be mustered in the senate in IA
vor of the canteen, while 81 were cast
against it.
Most of the time today was occu-
pied by Senators Teller Of Colorado,
Pettigrew of South Dakota and Butler
of North Carolina, who all opposed
tho adoption of the senate committees
amendment which provided for the
continuance of the canteen.
Beyond disposing of the canteer
question the senate accomplished little
and it seems doubtful whether the
final vote upon the measure will be
reached before Friday or Saturday.

IN FUTILE DEBATE
House Wrangling Over River
and Harbor Appropri-
alton Bill.

Washington, Jan. 9-The house to-
day considered the river and harbor
appropriation bill. Little progress
was made. In a bill carrying such a
vast sum for local Improvements,
many localities are bound to be disap-
pointed and there is generally a sore
ness among members who fail to get
what they want. This soreness out
cropped in several places today. The
disappointed members refusing to al
low any limit to be placed on the gen.
eral debate. 1t extended throughout
the day, being seemingly no nearer
conclusion at adjournment than when
it started.
Burton, chairman of the committee
on rivers and harbors, who is il
charge of the bill, made IN elaborate
explanation of it's provisions. Severa
members assaulted it for not contain
ing provisions for irrigation reservoirs
and Corliss of Michigan attacked il
for not giving proper recognition tt
the great lakes deepwater project.

insisted on paying. The last time he
displayed n large roll Of bills. He
was 80 intoxicated that he dropped the
bills on the floor. The men struck his
hands and made him drop more. This
continued for some time until n OF
the men left the room. He returned
with a small vial, which Bryan said
was filed with laudanum or chloral,
which had been purchased on a pre-
scriptlon at a nearby drug store. Two
glasses of beer were poured out, one
of which was drugged Bryan said
that after the priest had taken the
beer the man who drugged it admitted
he was going to rob the priest.
Bryan then said he would not allow
that in his place and made the men
take the priest out of the room. He
says he knew nothing further about
the affair until Saturday morning,
when he was told the body Of the
priest had been found in the hallway
of a house next door.
Bryan said that he became fright
ened and left town.

Dominion Government Orders Return Of
American Convict.

Ottawa, Jan. 9-The dominion gov
eminent has had under consideration
the case OF George West, alias "Kid'
West, who was brought from Walla
Walla pe%nitentiary, Washington state,
where he was serving a term, to give
evidence in a murder trial at Dawson
City. West after being taken to Daw-
son was charged with being an acces-
sorry to the murder.
The United States authorities held
that he was obtained under false pre-
lenses, as the arrangement was that he
was to be returned after giving his
testimony. The minister Of justice
has decided that this was the case and
West ought to be returned, and, there
fore, he will be handed over to the
United States, to be returned to the
penitentiary.

GERONIMO RECKONED NOT ON
YANKEE VALOR.
STORY OF De MoRTE CANON
Rebel Chieftain's Vaunted Impreg.
nable Fortress Yields to
American Attack.

WHY ""-
ape gives a graphic and interesting
account Of the capture and recent
utter defeat of the forces Of the ia
nous insurgent leader Geronimo near
Montalban by Colonel j. Milton
Thompson and 1000 picked men OF
the Twenty second and Forty second
volunteer infantry regiments.
Geronimo from all accounts lived
up to his namesake in this country in
that he hurled defiance from his
mountain fortress in much the same
way as Geronimo, the celebrated
Apache chieftain, harassed and defied
our troops in the west. The insurgent
chief was strongly fortified at Pin
auran in de Morte canon, near Mon
talban, his trenches being strung
along both sides for a distance of six
or seven miles.
After McKinley's reoccupatiop OF
the presidential chair, says the ar
ticle, it was decided by the military
authorities to dislodge Geronimo at
any cost. The latter had boasted fire.
quently Of the time when the insur-
gents killed 500 Spaniards, who made
an unsuccessful attempt to take Pin
auran.
The expedition was divided into
four detachments. The main one,
! under command Of Captain B1andle,
was in the lead ami while advancing
through the bed of the canyon was the
first to draw the fire of the insurgents.
The intrenched Filipinos, believing
the detachment to be the entire attack
ing party, allowed the colamn to adj
vance we'll up the canyon in order te
more completely bottle it. When II
had reached the desired point, the Fill
ipinos, yelling like Comanches, opened
up a vigorous fire, but simultaneously
with their volleyes came an attack Of
the Americans from four distinct di
rections. Then Colonel Thompson
leading the main body, performed thu
feat Of the engagement, in climbing
a steep wall, through dirt and under
brush, and entered the boasted "lm
pregnable'' fortress of the insurgen
leader.
The men had to cut their own trails
and pull themselves up the mountain
side by, grasping twigs and sapling
overhead. , When the American
reached the top there was not a liv
rebel in sight.
The number of insurgents killed i
estimated at from so to $50 Til
Americans lost four killed and abou
