A CHICAGO BATTLE.
Rival Claimants to Lake Front Prop
 erty Shoot to Kill.

 Rival Claimants to Lake Front Prop.
 erty Shoot to Kill.
 CHICAGO, Feh 12.-During a fight with Winchester rifles between the fol lowers of rival claimants to property lying along the Lake Shore drive, the most aristocratic boulevard in Chica go, Frank Kirk, a watchman for one of the claimants. was shot through the head and died soon afterward.
 The property in dispute consists of made land lyiiH east of the Lake Shore drive and between it and Lake Michigan. Captain George w. Streeter, who has for many years been thorn in the side of north side property own. CTS because of his propensity to settle on vacant ground and then claim in the courts the rights of a squatter, has erected several small shanties upon this ground and claims that inasmuch as it was not originally included in the government surveys of the state of H. linois 1t does not belong to the state, but was public property open to settle ment. He claims to be the first settler and calls the ground ..the district of Lake Michigan and denies that the officials of the city of Chicago or the state of Illinois have any rights upon it.
 Tn the immediate neighborhood of the scene of last nights fight a num- Der of Chicago's most prominent men reside, among them being ex-United States Senator Farwell, o. W. Pot ter, Franklin Macyeagh and Potter Palmer.

HEARING ON CANALS.
Governor Odel1's Plan to Enlarge
 Erie Discussed.

ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 12.-Strong support for the bill calling for the ex- penditure of $2S. .S00.O00 in the enlarge ment and improvement of the Erie ca ral was mustered at the hearing given yesterday afternoon by the canal com mittee of the senate. Delegations from s.ading commerce and trade organiza- tions from all sections of the state were present to urge legislation on the canal proposition as outlined in the message of Governor Odell. Despite the report that there would be no canal legislation this year, the canal advo- cates were enthusiastic, and after the hearing many of them expressed their firm belief that the proposition would go through. Henry B. Hebert of the Canal Association of Greater New York seemed to voice the sentiments of all in favor of the enlargement of canals when he said to the committee, ''The governors proposition or nothing; sos, ,S00000 for the canals, and not a cent less"
 The arguments against the canal proposition were presented by Senator Ambler, who believes in federal con- trol of the state waterways and who introduced the concurrent resolution proposing an amendment to the consti- tuition permitting the sale or lease of the canals.
 John l. Platt of Poughkeepsie said he represented the taxpayers of Dutch ess county as well as several organiza- tions. He had previously appeared be- fore the canal committee and against other schemes, and he was as heartily opposed to this bill as he was to those that were pending in previous years. He declared that for every dollar the canal boatman earned the state had to pay S2 3O He declared that the state was losing millions by it's canals and that if the matter were considered as a strictly business proposition, as 1t should be, there would be no hesitancy about killing the present proposition. For the benefit Of few the taxpayers of the state had to go into their pock- cts. He said that it would cost the state $1SS, 100000 before the canal ad- yocates were satisfied.
 F. B. Thurber of the New York chamber of commerce spoke in favor of the bill.
 R. B. Norris of the state grange spoke against the bill, declaring that the proposition for barge canal would be preferable to the present canal prop OSition

Invitation to the OIynapian Games In
 10o4 at Chicago Accepted.
 LONDON, Feb 12.-Sir Thomas Lip ton will accept the committees invita- tion to be present at the Olympian games to be held in Chicago in 19O4 and if possible will bring the new America's cup challenger to sail on the lakes. Sir Thomas is quoted as saying:
 II greatly appreciate the invitation and the kind things President Thurbec says about me. If nothing prevents it. shall certainly be present at the games, and if the difficulties can be overcome 1 will show the Chicagoans the challenger. If that is impractica- ble, might consider building a boat for the special purpose of competing on the lakes. At the first glance the problem of getting boat of the size of the challenger through the canals does not appear so great as the Chicago committee fears. The pontoons on which the Shamrock II. was launched are still available and ought to carry her through
 Sir Thomas also said he would soon send out the cup which he has pre- sented to the Chicago Yacht club fol annual competition. and he hoped tho members would ind 1t worthy of the club ID

ship. That was nearly two years be- fore the convention met which nom inated him for president.
 The person who asserts that Lincoln was suddenly sprung upon the country as a presidential quantity knows noth- ing about the politics of 1S56-6o. When Lincoln, by invitation of New York Republican club, made his historic ad- dress at Cooper institute, in New York city, on February 27, 1860, the Tribune declared next morning that s'since the days of Clay and Webster nc man has spoken to larger assemb,age of the intellect and culture of our city" He had powerful friends among the re- publican statesmen and newspapers of every state in the union at that time, and that was nearly three months be- fore the convention met which nom- mated him. On the first of the three ballots in the convention in which he was nominated he had votes from New England and the middle states, as well as from his own quarter of the coun- try. Careless or ignorant persons, in pointing morals or making antitheses, are in the habit of insinuati ting that Lincoln, at the time of his nomination in 1860, was a sort of dark horse or an accident, but such assertions make a wide divergence from the facts.

SLIGHT GAIN NOTED.
Young Roosevelt's Condition
 However, Is Still Critical.
TIE CRISIS IS YET TO COME.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt Close Watchers by the Bedsfde--A Mes- sage From King Edward and
 Call From Long.

GROTON, Mass, Feb. 12.-The con sensus of reports from the sickroom of Theodore Roosevelt, IT,, the eldest son of the president, who since Thurs day last has been i'll with pneumonia at the Groton Sclsool infirmary, tends to show an improvement and his con. dition is authoritatively stated to be better than it was at the same time yesterday The crisis of the disease, however is still to come The president and his wife both believe their son will meet this crisis in good condition and, passing it successfully, will recover. The slight favorable turn in the dis ease has greatly relieved the strain on both of them. Still, the reports issued through Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the president, run between hope and fear.
 Yesterday was day of anxiety for all concerned. Beginning with the morning, when the boy, after an ad- mittedly hard night, was reported as improved, although pleurisy in the right lung was mentioned, this fayora- bic tendency was continued through the noon statement. Then, at 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon, it was stated that the boys temperature had risen, that it would probably remain high and, if anything, increase a little to- ward evening. This somber tone seem ed almost to neutralize the mornings encouraging notes.
 The next report, at 6:30 in the even ing, showed that, notwithstanding the high temperature, the boy had more than held his own all day and that his condition was favorable. Hopefulness was increased by an additional and voluntary report on MT. Cortelyou's part at o'clock that the lad was in better condition than at the same time Monday night, although he said there had not been much change during the day, meaning that the favorable condi- tion of the morning had been practical ly maintained.
 The president spent the entire even ing at the Gardner house.
 The last sickroom bulletin for the day was given out at II o'clock. Mir. Cortelyou said that at that time every indication was favorable for the boy, but the fever had fuctuated some what, and it was impossible to tell just when the crisis would come.
 1t seemed therefore as if the result of the day had been to place the boy on a somewhat higher scale toward re- covery. All these reports were authori- tative, and in addition there was a cheery interview with Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, after a hurried visit of courtesy to his chief, in which he frankly said that the boy was bet ter
 One interesting event of the day was the receipt of telegram from Ambassador Pauncefote at Washing ton. conveying King Edwards expres- sion of sympathy for the president and hope for the speedy recovery of his son. The remarkable weather contrib uted not little to the cheerfulness of the day, it being the sixth consecutive day during which the sun has shone brightly from morning to night, while the air has been always cool, but dry and inyigorating.

POWER IN POLITICS
A Popular Delusion About Abra

He Was Neither n Dark Horse Noi am Accident When Nominated by the Republicans for

If you are in love with play that as chock full of excitement and if you want to see pathos and tragedy com mingled and if you desire to take in the trip through the mines of Color ado, you have that opportunity this evening. At Cripple Creek" is very interesting and powerful drama from the pen of Hal Reid, who has contributed so many successes of the kind It was presented in Pon's last night before a very large and very enthusiastic audience. In fact, the demonstration at times was be yond the ordinary applause. You win not see society drama nor will you witness heavy play of tragedy, but you will be pleased if your tastes run to excitement, thrilling climaxes and plenty of good comedy. Tn fact, some of the scenes are beyond what you might expect and afford plenty Of scope for whatever like or dislike you may have for the play. The cast with possibly one or two exceptions, is a good one, but as a combination they present a very good perform ance. One of the most thrilling fea- lures of the performance is the saw

lost their lives were the only persons
in the pit, and none was left to tell

The cause of the terrible explosion
has not been learned, and it is wrap
