A PEACE BLOCKADE.

Washington, June lin the alb.
sence Of any official advices ON the
subject, the officials here are in the
dark as to the reasons for the hurried
departure Of the German warships for
Venezuela, as reported in the st.
Thomas dispatch. Germany has q
big claim against Venezuela, approx.
mating 5000, 900 bolivsres. One in
ference-there is no official informa.
tion-is that Germany has sent her
vessels to La Guayra to enforce the
payment Of the claim, as Venezuela
has not attempted to meet the obliga.
ton.
The diplomatic correspondence Of
the state department shows that Ger
many has considered the question Of
coercion in connection with the pay
ment Of the claim. A communication
from the German embassy of Deosm.
Der 20 last. has this to say on the sub
jeot:
I'm case the German government
should be obliged to use coercion
against Venezuela in connection with
the pending claims 1t will have to be
considered what kind Of measures
should be adopted. The most com.
plete measure Of coercion-that is the
blockade Of Venezuela harbors-would
have to be carried through without Q
declaration of war preceding it. A
blockade, therefore, would be Q peace
blockade. Such . blockade would
touch likewise the ships of neutral
powers, inasmuch as such ships, al.
though . confiscation of them would
not have to be considered. would have
to be turned away and prohibited I'M
til the blockade should be raised. In
the same manner European states have
proceeded on such occasions, especially
England and France. !"
1t is not believed that the United
States government would raise any
objection should Germany undertake
the blockade of Venezuelan ports, to
collect the claim OF the Berlin com
pany. as the president, in his last
message TO congress, made the fol
lowing observation in connection with
the attitude of the American govern
ment on the Monroe doctrine
"We do not guarantee any state
against punishment if it misconducts
itself, provided that the punishment
does not take the form of the acquisi.
ton of territory by any non American
power"

greatly missed by the press of the
city, as well as the river interests.

DOWN MOUNTAIN SlDS.
RUNAWAY FREIGHT CAR OVER.
TAKEN AND STOPPED.
fmperiled Passenger Train Saved
From Wreck by Margin Of a
Few Seconds.

Victor, Col, April 20.-A thrilling
race down a mountain side saved a
trainload of passengers by a margin
Of four seconds.
z At Eclipse, on the Florence & Grip
pie Creek railroad, a loaded freight
car broke loose with Brakeman Lund
on top. AS Lund applied the brake
the chain broke and the car started
at terrific clip.
Conductor Blondy, on an engine di-
rected by Engineer Rush, undertook
to capture the car to prevent col
slision with a suburban train due to
leave Anaconda about the same time.
After wrapping message around a
lump of coal Blondy hurled it through
the window at Eclipse station. The
operator succeeded in holding the pas
senger train as it was pulling out of
Anaconda.
The pursuit of the freight car was
no won in earnest, engine and car
taking the serpentine track at full
speed, although it seemed impossible
to hold to the rails on the sharp
curves. The car was overtaken four
seconds from Anaconda, Conductor
Blondy made coupling from the pilot,
the air brake was applied and the
runaway was brought to a stop.

Ruling. Il.
St Louis, April 2O-"The antitrust
law Of Missouri is unreasonable, op-
pressive, unconstitutional and void -
That is the ruling of Judge John p.
Butler
He was appointed by the supreme
court in July, 1900, as referee to in
vestigate the affairs of the Continental
Tobacco company, which absorbed
the J. G.. Butler, the American, the
Drummond and the Brown Brothers of
st. Louis, and the Wright Brothers
plant of st. Charles.
No cause Of action existed when the
suit was brought, the referee finds,
and he holds as matter of law that
the grant Of immunity to insurance
companies, as contained in the pro
viso Of section of the act of 1897
(the anti-trust), renders the whole act
nugatory and violative of the constitu-
ton of the state and OF the United

RANGE CONDITIONS ARE BAD.
Already There is Scarcity Of
Grass.


Fort Benton, April 20-Range con
ditions are very serious in northern
Montana and unless a rain comes
soon, or the reports Of heavy ship
ments from Texas and Oregon are
without foundation, cattle and sheep
owners will suffer very heavily. A
well informed stockman came in from
the range today and reported that the
ranges were alerady crowded and
there was very little feed, as the holes
are all dry and stock is compelled to
range on the creeks and river, which
are largely fenced. If, as reported,
Texas cattle are coming in by the
thousands, not only they, but the ma
tive stock will perish unless things
take decided change for the better
IN the near future.

Among the Dead.

Cairo, Ills, April 2O.-The sidewheel
steamer City of Pittsburg, en- route
from Cincinnati to Memphis, was
burned to the waters edge early this
morning at Turner's Landing, near
Mound City, ILL.,, and "a miles from
this city.
The fire was discovered in the for
ward hatch larboard at 4:O5 a. m. and
burned f1ercely.
The captain and clerk late tonight
declare that in all 80 persons had
been accounted for, leaving 60 people
lost or unaccoMnted for:
There were 70 passengers on board
and 20 of the crew. Most of the pas
sengers were still in bed when Second
Clerk Phillips gave the alarm.
The engineers at once started all
the pumping engines and the crew
brought all the hose into play. Amid
the streames of water on all sides,
the flames from the lower deck and
dense clouds of smoke, the passengers
rushed from their staterooms and
frightful panic ensued.
The appeals of the officers and crew
could not appease the terror stricken
crowds, who interfered with those
who threw water on the flames, as
well as those working with the life
boats. Few could adjust life preserv-
ers Or do anything else for themselves.
Boats from the shore took off numer-
Gus passengers.
The burning steamer was quickly
headed for the bank. A number Of
passengers who jumped off the stern
and tried to swim ashore through the
swife current were drowned.
Many also perished in the flames.
Help, except from people living near
by, did not arrive until 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon, and passengers with
only nightclothes and without food
suffered terribly.
The steamer Maud Kugore brought
the survivors to this place at p. M,
and the several societies of the city
rendered all possible assistance in
the way of clothing, etc. NJ
