SIX ASSAY OFFICES WRECKED IN
ONE NIGHT.
PEOPLE HURLED FROM BED
Sheriff Has Called Out Deputies and
Blood Hounds Have Been
Sent For.

Victor, . Colo, Feb. 24.-Cripple
Creek is in a state of terror owing to
a preconcerted attack upon the assay
offices doing business in the district.
Beginning at s o'clock this morning
and following in rapid succession, six
explosions wrecked as many assay Of
fees, in mining centers ranging from
Victor to Cripple Creek and up to
Goldfield, in every instance the OBJ
ject sought by the i~ncendiaries
was accomplished by the destruction
of the offices with their fine equip
ment of delicate balances.
The raiders did not hesitate to
jeopardize life. as all but one of the
buildings were also occupied by Sleep
ing families. Men, women and chill
dren were hurled out of their beds by
the shock and serious injuries were
inflicted:s The full extent of the dam
age cannot be estimated. Sheriff
Robertson has called out his depu-
ties and is taking all means in his
power to discover the perpetrators of
the crimes.
For years there has been a sys-
tematic stealing of rich ore from the
mines. amounting to thousands of dol
lars monthly. 1t is alleged that more
that so assayeffs in the district have
made a business of buying such ore.
Recently the Mine Owners associa-
ton discovered that shipments of
high grade ore had been made by as
sayers from this district to smelters
at San Francisco and Salt Lake, but
all efforts to stop the traffic were In
availing.
The general impression is that the
acts are the result of a general move
ment to rid the district of all high
grade ore purchasing institutions.
Blood hounds from Canon City have
been called for.

William Dean HoweIIs Responds to
Request for Autograph.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Twenly ears ago
Mayor Harrison, then a young mar of
% years, wrote a letter to William
Dean Howells, man of letters, and
conveyed a simple request for the
authors autograph.
The mayor has just received an
answer from Mr.. Howells. and after
a long wait the mayor now has Mr..
Howells' autograph. It is appended
to the very slip of paper upon which
the request was made. It came in the
envelope enclosed at that time for the
reply.
Here is what Garter Harrison. Jr.,"
wrote 20 years ago:
"Chicago, Dec. "a. 1SS2.-William
Dean Howells, Dear Sir: I am collect
ing the autographs of American au-
thors and would be much obliged to
you if. at your leisure you would favor
me with yours, a few lines if it is not
asking too much. With an apology for
intruding and entertaining little hopes
that you will grant my request, I am,
respectfully yours.
"CARTER H. HARRISON, JR."
The reply the mayor has just receiv-
ed was addressed Garter H. Harri-
son Jr.. 231 Ashland avenue, Chicago"
and had been forwarded thence to the
city hall. An old fashioned three-cent
stamp had carried the missive through
the mails. When the mayor opened
the envelope out dropped his Howells'
letter OF 20 years ago At the bot
tom of the reverse side of the single
sheet Of paper was added:
I have at last found time for sub
scribing myself,
yours very truly,

LY DISPOSED OF.
NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE
South Carolina Senators Were Not
Allowed to Take Part In
Proceedings.

Washington. Feb. 24.-After eight
hours of tumultous debate today the
senate. shortly before Z O'Clock this
evening passed the Philippine tariff
bill by a vote of 46 to 26-strictly
party vote. Tillman and McLaurin,
the two senators from South Carolina,
who on Saturday last were declared by
the senate to be in contempt because
of their fight in the chamber, were
not permitted by voice or by vote to
participate in the proceedings.
The question as to their right to
vote precipitated a sharp debate last
ing nearly two hours. Mr.. Turner,
democrat Of Washington, contended
vigorously for the right of the two SEN
ators to cast their votes and he was
sustained by Patterson of Colorado,
Bailey of Texas and other democrats.
They held that even though the two
senators were actually under arrest
and in the custody of the sergeant at
arms, they could demand that they be
allowed to vote, as the senate had not
passed on their case.
Foraker, Aldrich and other republi-
cans held that the senators clearly
could not participate in any of the
proceedings of the senate until they
had purged themselves Of contempt
and the senate had removed the ban
placed upon them.
President pro TEN Frye held that
the two senators could not vote and
he was sustained by a majority of
the senate.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill McComas and Wellington of Mary
land became involved in a controversy
during the course of which the latter
declared that if McComas should
make his statements outside of the
senate chamber he would brand them
as malicious falsehoods. He was call
ed to order promptly and resumed his
seat amid considerable excitement.
Many amendments were offered to
the Philippine bill but except those
offered by the committee, only one,
the amendment restricting the opera
ton of sections of the laws enacted
by the tax commission, was passed.
The amendment offered by Foraker
fixing the rate of duties levied upon
products coming into the United
States from the Philippines at so per
cent of the Dingley rates, instead of
IS per cent, as fixed in bill, was lost,
but it received a large republican
vote. Had the democrats voted for
it as a party it would have carried,
but many democrats voted against it.

Tsilka was released and arrived at

Sunday morning.
Nobody was at Strumitza to meet
Miss Stone, as the brigands had given
no indication where they proposed to
release the prisoners. Madame Tsil-
ka and her baby were also released at
the same time. They Immediately
made themselves known to the au-
thorities. The first news of the re-
lease was contained in a message to

Fur Fashions.

AS the season advances furs become
more and more attractive. The tend

Fur animals are no longer considered
the smart thing by women who faith
fully observe the changes in fashions.
Flat stole and cape effects prevail. but
by capes are meant heshort ones reach
ing only about the shoulders and ter
minating in the front in two long stole
shaped pieces. Capes reaching to the
waist line are considered suitable only
for middle aged women. Three-quar-
ter capes. however. of sable. mink and
ermine are used for carriage wear and
for theater wraps. Chinchilla, ermine,
sable and silver fox are the most costly
furs. The silver fox ranks highest
in the scale, a good muff selling for as
high as $3.50. Chinchilla is becoming
rarer and rarer. 1t is eked out with
sable and other furs in a variety Of
ways. AS it wears hardly more than
n season.. it is a most extravagant

The Bears Who Pounded It Yester
day, Bought Back Their E.s
Short Wheat To-day, us
WET WEATHER THE INFLUENCE
Only 81 Cars Here Against 367 La al
Year-Chicago Receipts
Grade Low.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Aug.
19.-Wheat made partial recovery of yester-
days loss, and was up &c to 66c for Septem-
Der, at noon. Trade was light everywhere.
In Chicago the opening was stronger and
higher on unfavorable weather, fairly steady
cables and poor grading Of receipts. Shorts
In Chicago September got nervous, but after
q jump of about 1c over yesterdays close for
THAI option, the activity ceased and dullness
ruled From abroad there was Broomhall
cable saying that timely rains have fallen
in Roumania thus assuring the yield. The
matter Of receipts was the basis for muoh
gossip. To-day's figures show 1,065,O bu
at primary points against 1,15S.oO0 last year
and shipments of $4,000 bu, against S94, 00o
bu. The southwestern roads having extended
cheap rates on grain shipments to August ~,
the expectation is for continued large re-
cepts at st. Louis and Kansas City. To-
day these two points had 4sS,00o bu against
5000 bu last year. In the northwest the
decrease from last year was very marked,
receipts showing only 102 cars against 459,
Minneapolis getting 81 cars against 367, and
Duluth II against 90. Liverpool closed A@ssd
lower.
Clearanoes were again heavy at So1, 900 bu,
making 1928, 600 bu for yesterday and to-day.
New York had twenty loads taken for ex-
port. Bradstreets figures an increase of
900 bu in the quantity In Europe and
a1oat, and decrease Of 941, 600 bu In the
quantity east OF the rockies, leaving an In
crease of 239, 600 bu.
Near the close the market turned very firm
reports of hail storms in North Dakota
and general rains over the west and north
west September touched 66Ac. AT the close
September was 66l2c, December 6412c, May
67G871tc.
Cash wheat sold we'll and at firm prices
but nearly all sold at the early time and there
was no benefit from the later rise in the
option No. l northern brought 75976o for
old, and 73c for new. Old No. to arrive sold
at 751ac and trade was reported in new No.
j to arrive at 69kc. No. 2 northern sold at
74A974&c for old and new brought 70@71c,

S1o, and no grade 691s to Gle.
