Another NH Die and Three
 Are Wounded SEvENTY-FuE SHOTS FIRED.
Fatal Affair Occurred In EIdorado, Ark, and Excitement Is So Great That Governor Davis Has
 Been Asked for Troops.

Little Rock, Ark, October s.-A special to the Gazette from Eldorado. Ark, says:
 Three men were killed, another will die and two others were wounded in a shooting affray on the streets here at 4:sO p. m today. The dead:
 H. L. Dearing, constab1es
 Tom Parnell, farmer
 Walter Parnell, farmer.
 The wounded:
 Gus Blucker. city marshal, shot six times; will die.
 Dr. Hilton, wounds not serious.
 Jim Parneli. not serious.
 The shooting Is the sequel to the killing on September IS here by Dearing of Rob- ert Mullens. which followed a wedding.
 The Parnells were friends of Mullens and Thomas Newton was friend of Dearing.
 This afternoon Jim Parnell and Newton had some words. It is said that both fac tions prepared for trouble and it came when they met. It was at 4:S0 that Dear ing, Tucker and Newton were walking along in front of the Union Grocery company on the eastside of the square when they met the three Parnell broth CTS. Jim Parnell is said to have fired at Newton and In an instant the fusilade began. About seventy-five shots were fired and the crack of revolvers sounded like a pitched battle. The men were close together and their aim was deadly. It developed into a man to man affair, Dearing and Tom Parnell emptying their several pistols at each other at dis tance so close that when they fell. una ble to shoot any more, their bodies form ed cross. The others were firing prom isciously and 1t is supposed that shot from Marshal Fuckers pistol killed Wal ter Parnell. Dr. Hilton. who tried to separate the men, was also shot, but not fatally.

SECRETARY SHAW
 ON THE STUMP
SAYS PRINCIPLES AND MEASURES AND NOT WEALTH DIVIDES THE GREAT ARTIEs-AUDlToR ASKS ABOUT COAL STRIKE.

New Haven. Conn, October 9.-The re- publican state campaign opened here to- day. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was the principal speaker.
 He said in part: Let me ask you which divides the great parties. Is 1t wealth." There are wealthy men on both sides It is principles and meas ures There was a time when the college taught free trade. If you know of any college that teaches free trade now teach that college better. If you intend to legislate for the entire world, free trade is correct, but if you don't so intend free trade is not correct legislation. It seems to me that the democratic leaders have shown greater anxiety to discover an issue of which to win successive cam paisns than to formulate a policy upon which to run the government after they shall have won.'
 MT. Shaw discussed trusts and trust legislation at length. In brief he claim ed that the republican convention of 1888 was the first to suggest curb for com tination and trusts.
 .sThe only antitrust bill signed by a
 
 by republican president Benjamin Har- rison," said MT Shaw, who said also that President Roosevelt Is now doing more than any other president to en- force the laws in effect against combi- nations. He said that If the states would enforce laws against trusts within their own limits the national government would not need to.
 Mr. Shaw was interrupted several times by an auditor who wanted to hear about the coal strike and free coal" MT. Shaw replied to him :'President Roose- welt, that man who cares for you better than any one else can, Is doing all he can to settle the trouble" Once again he was interrupted and paid the Presi- dent a tribute of affection and esteem, reciting the fact that Mir. Roosevelt Is crippled and attempting to work for the solution of the difficulty at the risk of serious physical harm to himself.

THREE MEN KILLED
 IN STREET BATTLE.
STEWART ELECTED
 COMMANDER 6. A. R.
WAS PROMINENT CANDIDATE AT LAST ENcAMPMENT, WHEN GEN. TORRANCE WAS ELEcTEp-PEN- SION BUREAU MEN SCORED.

Washington. October 9.-The Grand Army of the Republic got down to busi- ness today and the eneampment of the order, besides hearing an address from Commander-in-chief Torrance and re- ports from a number of officers and com mittees. elected new head for the en- suing year.
 The new commander-in-chiefo of the G. A. R. is General T. J. Stewart, of Penn sylvania, who was a leading candidate for the honor year ago. His compet- itors tooay were General sohn c. Black, of Illinois, former commissioner of pensions, and Colonel John McElroy. of this city. The name of general Daniel Sickles, of New York city. was pre- scented to the convention, but he with drew from the race.
 William M. olin, of Massachusetts, was elected vice commander-in-chief and J. M. Averill, of Georgia, junior vice commander-in-chief. Aside from the election of these officers the most enter esting feature of the encampment was the report of .4le pension committee of the G. A. R. This committee severely scored the medical division of the pen sion bureau declaring that it was dead line, where were executed the claims of veterans seeking pensions It accused the personnel of this division of ap- preaching the reports of the examining surgeons throughout the country with suspicion an distrust, and as made in bad faith It denounced the reports that ex- tensive frauds were practiced in pension claims as absolutely baseless.
 The Womans Relief Corps. the Daugh- ters of Veterans and the ladies of the G. A R. also met in annual convention. Thousands of veterans and their wives, new delegates to either of these organ izations, attended army corps reunions in the big tent on the white lot, or spent the beautiful October day in sightseeing A feature of the late afternoon was the dedication of the cornerstone of the pro- posed memorial bridge to connect Wash ington with the national cemetery at Arlington Secretary Root was the ora tor of the occasion.

Washington October s.-The situation as to Cuba is such at present as to give officials here great concern. It is feared that Cuba is drifting away and evidence is multiplying day by day to mark the growth of spirit of indifference toward the cultivation of friendly commercial re- lations with the United States that a1- most borders on hostility.
 --e best efforts of the state department thus far have failed to secure the adhe- sion of the Cuban government to the treaty which, py the terms of the Platt amendment, must be entered into be- tween the two governments. 4ne delay is all on one side, namely, at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the Cuban minis- ter Senor Quesada, have proclaimed their part in drafting a treaty which 1t Is be- leved carries out the intent of congress.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-10-10
CUBA IS DRAWING AWAY
 FROM UNITED STATES

That treaty is now awaiting the ap- proval of the Cuban government, which approval is withheld, not with any ex- pected intention of rejecting the conven- tion, but through w,2st Is regarded here as the natural inc sIA uf the cubans in diplomatic matters.
 This treaty includes provisions for a considerable measure of ieciprocity be- tween the United States and Cuba and while 1t is true that the Cubans be- lieve that the United tSates has been rather niggardly in the arrangement of the reciprocity schedules, those objec- tions are not regarded as sufficient to ac- count for the great delay in concluding the treaty However, there Is no inten- tion so long as there Is no discrimination against the United States and in favor oi another country. It Is believed that as Cuba is the principal sufferer from the lack of treaty relations with the United States, internal pressure soon will force action on the pending convention.

In speaking of the rolling mill fire last night Chief Mullen said:
 T am too tired and mad to talk. This great loss in the last two days is without any reason except that l have not got enough equip ment and men. I need them badly.
 The men are tired and half sick, the horses worn out, and we have hardly had time to clean the ap- paratus The men have not got enough clothes to come out of the house.

utes. Upon leaving MT. Lauterbach said:
 Things are progressing. That's all can say at this time" He and MT. La- mar then drove away. President Mitch ell would not be seen by reporters.
 Mitchell Closely Watched.
 Although President Mitchell apparently had no part in the conference between the senators and the operators, his &C., uons anXIousIy awaited. Early in the day he was joined at the Ashland house by ex-Senator Moses w. Solomon of Chicago. The C4ncagoan has so far re- fused to disclose his mission. saying he was merely messenger. During the morning MT. Mitchell had long confer ence with his three district presidents, Afterward District President Nicholls had this to say:
 Unless the demands ot the strikers are granted in full I do not see how Presi- dent Mitchell can settle the strike without calling convention. If only a part of the demands are granted, that would render 1t necessary to call a convention and that would take two weeks at least"
 Late in the afternoon President Mitchell and the district presidents had another conference at the Ashland house. MT. Nichols said that his associates had not considered any formal or informal propo- stion from the operators. He said the strike might possibly be settled by Mon- day, but intimated that 1t was improb- able.
 Oscar s. Strauss. a member of the con ciliation committee of the national feder- alton, called on President Mitchell late in the afternoon. On leaving MT. Strauss said:
 President Mitchell wanted to see me, but the object of my visit cannot be made public"
