NAVY'S NEXT MOVE.

al Attack. -

Army Is en- She Alert and Awaiting
a., Attack. =
New London, Conn, Sept. 3.-The
defending forces in the New London
district are on the alert and awaiting
an attack by the navy. At midnight
70 decisive move had been made by
the fleet under Admiral Higginson. At
that hour General Macarthur left his
headquarters and boarded his yacht
Lanawha for the night, leaving Major
Harrison in charge
The impression prevails here that
Newport is the point which will be
next attacked, although the presence
OF three vessels supposed to be battle
ships at GARDENERS bay causes consid-
cradle uneasiness. They can be seen
plainly from Fort Wright and the
searchlights are kept on them con-
tinually.
The defending force is all at sea in
regard to the next move to be made
by Admiral Higginson and every pos
slble precaution has been taken to
guard against surprise. Early in
the evening it was feare T. that an at
tack would be made on headquarters.
This is hardly to be expected, how
ever, for the weather conditions are
against the navy and it is believed to
be impossible for them to safely reach
a point at which they could land
enough men to overpower the defend
ers without being observed.

PLATFORM FIGHT PROBABLE,
Iowa Democrats Gather at Des Moines
for State Convention.

Des Moines, a., Sept. 3.-One con-
test in the Democratic state cOnven-
ton will be held over the platform.
The opponents of a reaffirmation of
the Kansas City platform are here in
force. The silver men under the lead
ership of c. A. Walsh, secretary of
the national Democratic committee,
who have heretofore stood steadfastly
for a reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform, proposed compromise and
had printed and circulated among the
delegates the following proposed
plank:
"The Democracy of Iowa in con-
vention assembled endorses and re-
affrms the principles of the last plat
form, with the further declaration that
intervening events have so changed
conditions that the silver question is
now an ISSUE"
This was accompanied by state
ment that the time has come to rec
ognize that old issues are now at the
front and that this plank is offered as
one acceptable to all.

MEXICAN TRAIN HELD UP.
Passengers and Express Messenger
Brighten the Bandits Away.

Tucson, Ariz., Sept 3.-Reports
reached here of a daring attempt by
three American bandits to hold up the
International express on the Sonora
railroad, three miles from Hermosillo,
on Sunday morning. The explosion of
a torpedo on the track caused the en-.
gineer to stop. Three Americans STEP
ped out from the shelter of a grove
of trees and covered the engine crew.
Two of the robbers then went to the
express car and demanded admission.
The messenger replied with volley
of shots through the door, the bandits
returning his fire.
Several passengers armed them
selves and were going to the aid of the
plucky messenger, when the highway
men became frightened and gave up
their attempt, disappearing into the
orange groves, where it was supposed
they had horses in waiting. AS soon
as the train reached Hermosillo the
alarm was given and a troop of rurales
and posse started in pursuit of the
bandits, NO confirmation of the re-
ported holdup has been given out by
the railroad officials here.

Strikers and Guards Fight in a West
Virginia Coal Field. VI.
Bramhall, w. Va, Sept. 3 THE
situation in the Flat Top coal field is
extremely critical and the skirmish
between the strikers and the guards
at the Pocahontas Galleries COM
pany's mines after the firing of the
tmine by the strikers, has greatly en-
ragged the miners from the fact that
number on their side were severely
injured. Adjutant General Baker,
who has been in this section for few
days looking over the territory, has

!; operators before he left, however, that
he thought the presence of the militia
unnecessary at that time The out.
break of the morning, however, will
probably cause a change in his mind
and it is thought here that troops will
be sent to the Flat Top region. The
Pocahontas Galleries company have
the fire in their mines practically ex-
tinguished, but that company has
doubled it's force of guards as another
attack is feared any hour. Many
shots have been fired from ambush to-
ward the direction of nonunion miners
going to and from work in the Flat
Top field. The Elkhorn region is very
quiet, no violence having been report
ed from that section.

NURSES FATAL BLUNDER,
Gives Too Much Strychnine to a
Patient in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Miss Emily
Etheridge, nurse in the Presbyterian
hospital and the daughter of the late
Dr. James H. Etheridge, one of Chi
cagos leading physicians, confessed
to Coroner Traeger that she had made
a fatal mistake in administering
strychnine to patient in the hospital
The victim of this error was Mrs.
Laura Moore of Rensselaer,, Ind,
whose sudden death one week ago had
been a mystery until Miss Etheridge
made a clean breast of the matter.
The confession was spoken to the
coroner and his physician at Miss
Etheridge's residence, 1851 Michigan
avenue.
Il gave Mrs. Moore two grains of
strychnine when l should have given
ner only the thirtieth part of grain,''
said Miss Etheridge, who was on the
verge of nervous collapse from the
strain which she had undergone since
her own discovery of the fatal blunder.

Dalton, Mass, Sept. 3.-President

preston had gone forth that any
views he might express regarding the
acquisition Of territory by the United
States would be sure to be coldly re-
ceived, but the demonstrations of, .ap-
prevail which greeted his utterances
dispelled this idea.
Frequent stops again were made
during the day and at each place the
president delivered speech. Fitch
burg's reception was notable for the
size OF the crowd and enthusiasm
which the people displayed, While
riding up the street the president was
given shower bath of roses. A
canopy of bunting had been erected
and from TIE center was suspended a
huge bell. AS the presidents carriage
passed under It an unseen hand
loosened the covering of the bell and
an avalanche of loose roses fell over
him..
In the afternoon at Worcester the

phenomenon occurred here between 9
and 10 o'clock last night There was
startling series of detonations from
La Soufriere, louder than any since

Each explosion shook the buildings of
this town. The noises were terrific

scene of disturbance was only about
two miles away. During the period
OF intense anxiety which attended the
detonations two luminous circles, like
rainbows, appeared in the cloudless

Major Portion Devoted to Imperial.
ism and Trusts.
washington, Sept. 3.-The Demo-
cratic congressional campaign book,
which made it's appearance during the
day, is volume of 1874 pages, the
major portion of which is devoted to
the discussion of Imperialism and
trusts, 24O pages being given to these
two topics, 115 to the former and 125
to the latter. Upon the title page is
the Democratic slogan of equal rights
to all, special privileges to none. The
volume opens with the platform of
1900 and the resolutions adopted by
the Democratic members of the house
at their conference June 10, arraign-
ing the Republican party for failure
to give relief to Cuba and to enact
proper antitrust legislation. Then
follows an extended criticism of the
Republican campaign book, many of
the statements contained therein being
challenged as to accuracy, especially
those dealing with the trust question.
Under the head of imperialism" there
is long general review of the Philip
pine policy. The chapters on the
tariff and trusts are crowded with
statistics and figures, much attention
being devoted to an attempt to show
that protected trusts and manufacture
ers get the benefit of all the tariff in
our markets.
