VAN SAINT TO MAKE WAR ON JAMES
j. HILLS CORPORATION.
Governor of Minnesota VIII Convene
the Legislature for the Purpose
of Providing Funds.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 24.-The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: Governor Van
SAINT has determined to fight the great rail-
way combine, as represented by the North
ern Securities Company, to the last ditch.
He has decided to call an extra session of
the Legislature for the purpose of provid
ing funds for the legal battle, and says
that should the Legislature fail to appro-
pirate the amount asked for he viii use his
own private fortune to carry on the con-
test.
while the Governor declines to make
public his plans for prosecuting the fight,
he does not deny that he has decided upon
an extra session. This decision was
reached after protracted conference with
the heads Of the various state depart
ments and the chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriation. One hundred
thousand dollars will be asked for to cover
the expenses of hiring counsel to assist the
attorney general and for other emergencies.
Beyond appropriating the money the Gov
ernor does not believe that the Legisla ture
can aid him materially. The antitrust
and anti-consoiidatiOn laws now upon the
statute books of this State he looks upon
embodying the limit of legislative power,
and the fight will be made in the courts
although the Governor does not antici-
pate that the Legislature will hesitate to
appropriate the sum asked for he states
that should ii do so he will use his private
fortune to carry on the struggle until it is
exhausted or he has gained a decisive vic
tory. The call for the extra session will
probably not be made until the first of the
year, and the date of the convening will
very likely be Feb. l.

MANILA. Nov. 24.-Capt. Edward p. Law
toms company of the Nineteenth Infantry
has attacked and captured an insurgent
fort on Bohol island, south of Cebu, in the
vizayan group. This fort was surrounded
on all sides by precipice. and the only en-
trance to the higher ground was guarded
by a stockade with line of intrenchments
behind it.
Captain Lawton sent Sergeant Mcmahon
and twenty men to climb the precipice and
attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant Nc
Mahon's party accomplished their task
after three hours climbing through the
thick underground OF brush and vines that
covered the almost perpendicular cliff They
took the enemy by surprise and drove them
from the fort. AS the insurgents escaped
they had to pass the remainder of Captain
Lawton's company at distance of $50
yards. Here the enemy suffered terrible
losses.
The insurgents defended themselves with
both cannon and rifles. The cannon were
captured. The smaller ones were removed.
while the larger ones were buried. Captain
Lawton in his report makes special mention
for bravery of Sergeants List and Nc
Mahon.
General Chaffee has ordered that in the
future complete records shall be kept of all
natives taking the oath of allegiance to
the United States. Duplicates of these rec
ords will be signed in English, Spanish and
Tagalog.

LYNCHED BY NEGROES
COLORED MURDERER TAKEN FROM
WHITE OFFICERS CUSTODY,
Led to n Tree and Strung to a Limb
Seventeen Alleged Members of
Mob Indicted.

SHREVEPORT, La. Nov. 24-The par
ticulars of a sensational murder and lynch
ing have just reached this city from
Herndon plantation, about eight miles be-
low Shreveport, on the Bossier parish side
of Red river The most curious feature of
the affair is that the men who did the
iynching were negroes and strung up one
of their own race. The negro avengers not
only determined upon the summary exc
cution of their victim, but took him from
the hands of a white officer for that pur-
pose.
The killing which led UP to the lynching
occurred Saturday night. Frank Thomas,
a negro employed on the Amelia planta-
ton, shot and killed fourteea-year-old
negro boy named Wilburn over a debt of
80 cents The two were riding home to-
gether in a wagon. When they reached
point between the Amelia plantation and
Mulhaupt Place, about four miles from
Shreveport Thomas demanded 80 cents
which Wilburn owed him. The boy did
not have the money, and so informed his
COMPANION. Thomas thereupon drew his
pistol and shot Wilburn dead. The killing
was witnessed by number of excited ne
groes This morning Deputy Sheriff
Holmes arrested Thomas and was proceed
ing toward Shreveport with his prisoner,
white men suddenly appeared in the road,
took possession of Thomas and promptly
strung him UP to the limb Of a tree where
the body was left hanging until this even
ing. This was the first daylight lynching
in these parts for many years.

CLEVELAND, Nov. PA special to the
Leader from Wheeling. w. Va, says: "A
gigantic fund is a proposition the lodges of
the Amalgamated Association Of Steel. Iron
and Tin Workers in the Wheeling district
are now voting on. The plans, as forwarded
from the Pittsburg headquarters, call for
an assessment on each member of 10 per
cent. Of his wages. The significance of the
plan is apparent when it is realized that the
strike settlement expires in eight months.
Several lodges in this section of the Ohio
valley have voted in the affirmative All
the local lodges voted against the treaty
proposed by the Steel Trust and are in
clined to stand out for the big voluntary
percentage contribution from their daily
wages. 1t Is taken to mean that another
stern clash with the steel corporation is due
in 1902 when the scale expires. In the recent
strike lack Of funds to care for new lodges

OHIO RIVER IS RISING.
Millions of Bushels of Coal VIII
Therefore Move Westward.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 2i.-Heavy and con-
tinuous rains for the past thirty-six hours
here and at every point along the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers assure a good coal
boat stage in the Ohio by tomorrow night
or Tuesday morning. The stage of water at
the dam tonight is six feet and rising. and
experienced river men say a boating stage
of at least twelve feet is certain 10 result.
Coal men and manufacturers are confident
of being able TO practically clear the harbor
on this rise of the vast amount OF freight
accumulated during the past four or i've
months, thus relieving greatly the conges-
tion on the railroads.
Fully 3O000,O00 bushels of coal are await
ing shipment and the movement OF manu-
factured iron and steel viii be greater than
ever known before. Between $1,000 and 4O,VO
tons of steel rails will go out destined for
the Gould lines-the Missouri Pacific, the
Texas Pacific and Iron Mountain roads. IN
addition about l20C0 tons of cotton ties and
a heavy shipment of miscellaneous mer-
chandise expected TO be sent South.
To transport this unusual tonnage IL Is estl-
mated that seventy steamers and from so
to 1000 boats and barges Will be required.

the tide rose about three feet above the
average. At noon the tide receded some
