Washington, May 12.-The United
States government is willing and
anxious to do anything within its pow
er to aid the survivors of the terrible
calamity on the island of Martinique.
The difficulty is to ascertain just what
can be done and the extent of the
needs. Then, too, there are limitations
upon the power of the executive to
proceed in such matters. Secretary
Moody and Secretary Hay have been
deeply interested in the subject and,
while the former has already sent to
the commandant at San Juan authori-
cation to dispatch the United States
steamship Potomac to Martinique in
his discretion, Secretary Hay has
charged Assistant Secretary Hill with
the duty Of comforting with the navy
department to devise other plans of re-
lief. The Potomac is nothing more
than large sea-going tug of very lin

on the st. Louis & San Francisco rail

up Friday night about 10:4O at Marsh
Siding, five miles west, by four
masked men. Information wired to
express company officials state that
the robbers secured nothing. The
sobbers tagged the train, which did
not slow up quick enough to let
them on, and they threw the engine,

engine, mail, baggage and express
cars, which pulled down the track
some distance.
| Messenger Newton was ordered to
open the express ear, which he pro-
posed to do if the robbers would not
shoot him. The leader of the gang
wanted to shoot the messenger, but
the others made him desist. Dyna-
mite was exploded on the safe, COM
pletely wreclling it and blowing out
the side of the express car. After
fruitless attempts to secure any
booty, the robbers cut off the en-

useful purpose she would serve, in the
opinion of the naval officers, is to make
a quick trip to Martinique, or to the
nearest approachable point. and ascer-

afterward be satisfied by supplies dis
patched on merchant vessels. News
also is awaited from the Cincinnati,

if Capt. Mclean reports that the nor

Washington, May 1.-THE senate
Saturday passed bill introduced by
Senator Fairbanks appropriating $780,
900 for the purchase of supplies for
the relief of the sufferers by the dis
aster in the island of Martinique.
Consideration then was begun OF
the army appropriation bill. the
measure being read first for the con-
sideration of committee amend
ments.

ator Bailey (dem., TeN.) offered an
amendment providing that no part of
the appropriations made by this bill
shall be regarded as the payment of
the expenses of a special embassy in
attending the coronation of any he
reditary king or potentate.
Senator Bailey finally withdrew his
coronation amendment, and offered q
resolution declaring it to be the

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

The republicans held caucuses Satur.
day evening for the purpose of electing
delegates to the county convention to
be held Thursday, June Goth, for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
state convention. The result of the
primaries was a surprise TO many, es-
pecialIy to the stalwart wing of the
party for it demonstrated that the much
hated half breeds had been doing some
quiet hustling. Marathon county has
always been known as hot bed of
stalwartism and was one of the few
counties in the state whose delegations
in convention opposed LaFollette. But
the republican leaders in the county
of the Schafield school appear to have
lost some of their former prestige or
else Bob's game wardens have been
doing an extra amount of hustIing
while the other fellows slumbered
Although from information received
thus far from the country towns it APP
pears that the stalwarts will be the
controlling faction when the conven-
ton is called, yet there will be at least
twenty-five LaFollette men where the
followers of the governor should be as
scarce as hens teeth. In the Ninth
ward in the city solid LaFollette dele
cation was elected for which Aug.
Kroening, oil inspector, claims due
credit, while in some of the other wards
the delegations are split At the First
ward caucus the luminosity was so
strong between two who were pushing
themselves forward as delegates but
who desired to ride in different band
wagons that they nearly came to blows.
The primaries over with and the county
convention coming on there will no
doubt be some hustling done between
now and then by Whitehead and the
LaFollette henchmen and we look for
ward to the concluding pages of chap
ter Ill.

Saturday, asking relief The woman
stated that she was in delicate condi-

her to Judge Miller who informed her
that the only place left for her was to go

indignant and left the office. Later she
returned with letter from sister liv-
