CIRCUS TRAIN SAVES CASH.
Robbery Supposed to Have Been Motive
for Blowing Up Track.

Duluth, June 23.-At an early hour
yesterday morning a section of track
on the Northern Pacific Road between
Maple and Poplar, forty miles east of
Duluth was blown up with dynamite.
The first division Of Ringling's circus
train was soon due to pass on its way
to Duluth. A woodsman who was walk
ing toward Ashland and had lain down
in the bushes near the scene of the ex-
plosion to sleep was awakened by the
noise. He sprang to his feet and saw
several armed men retreating to the
edge of the woods. The woodsman
skirted the right-ofway for half a
mile, and then, taking the track, ran
to the nearest telegraph station, about
four miles distant, and gave the alarm.
He was just in time to stop the Ring
ling train, which carried the cash of
the show. 1t took q crew three hours
TO restore the track for trains.

GEN. EAeAN IN PISTOL FIGHT.
Former Commissary General and Ari.
IONA Cattle Man Quarrel.

ZOHd SdIIlS wan S0dIISIs
Tucson, Arizona, June 23.-General
Charles Eagan, of army beef notariety
and Abe Goldbaum, who has charge of
w. c. Green's cattle interests in the
state of Sonora. quarreled in restaur-
ant in Hermosillo while at lunch, and a
sensational gun play" resulted.
After some hot words General Eagan
drew a x-shooter from his hip pocket
and would have shot Goldbaum if the
latter had not been too quick for him.
Goldbaum grasped Eagan's arm before
he could aim his revolver, and the bull
let was discharged at the ceiling, doing
no harm.
Eagan was thrown to the floor
by his antagonist and the revolver was
wrenched from his hand. The proprie-
tor and others in the restaurant inter-
fered and the men were separated. No
arrests We're made.
Eagan has won a reputation as a
fighter since he has been mining in So
nora, and Goldbaum, altho a small man
is fearless. Those who know both men
are surprised that the affair did not
result more seriously.

oxNARD UNcoMPRoMlslNG.
Beet Sugar Masnate Determined in His
Fiqht on Reciprocity.


Washington, June 23.-Oxnard and
his beet sugar contingent in the senate
not only claim they have defeated the
Cuban reciprocity bill, but threaten to
defeat any treaty for reciprocity the
president may negotiate.
The enmity of Oxnard to Cuba is un-
compromising since he finds he can
control enough republican senators to
prevent the party from having ma
jorty in the senate. There is a suspi-
cion that Oxnard is playing for high
stakes and that he is aiding, rather
than working against, the sugar trust.
The planters in Cuba have held their
sugar crop in the hope of tariff con-
cession. They are now holding about
$4,000 tons of sugar. They We're able
to borrow money on the prospect OF
concession, but when that fails the
planters will have to meet these de-
mands on them from their creditors or
be unable to borrow for the next crop.
The planters are growing desperate,
but the sugar trust is waiting its OPP
portunity to buy at it's own price when
all this sugar is thrown on the market
to meet the demands of the creditors
who supplied the planters with money.
The fear in the administration is that
such forced unloading of Cuban sug-
ar will depress/the market in Cuba so
that the planters will be ruined and
unable to continue in business and en-
ploy labor. The result would be dis
turbance in Cuba that would threaten
the new government and might make 1t
necessary for the Intervention of the
United States to preserve order.
This is the emergency the president
is trying to prevent, and If the recip-
rocity bill fails he will negotiate
treaty with Cuba in the hope that such
action will continue the confidence OF
the Cuban planters and enable them to
tide over the panic which may follow
the adjournment of congress without
atcion on the reciprocity bill.
He will be governed by conditions in
Cuba in sending this treaty to the SEN
ate. If these conditions are threaten
ing he will call the senate in extra ses-
sion in August or September. If there
is no panic in Cuban sugar, he will let
the treaty rest until the regular session
next winter
But Oxnard is doing all in his power
rot only to defeat the reciprocity bill,
but also to create the impression in
Cuba that there is no hope for recipro-
cal trade relations with the United
States, and thus drives the planters 10
the necessity of throwing $4,000 IONS
Of sugar on the market at once, that
the sugar trust may buy it at Its own
price.

THE FUsIoNlsTs AT SEA.
Nebraska Democrats and PopuIists
Worried Over the Political Situa-


Worried Over the Political Situa-
ton.
Lincoln. Neb., June 23-Fusionists
of Nebraska are all at sea on the
matter of a gubernatorial candidate.
The sagacious men of the democratic
and populist parties have been looking
long and YEARLY for some chosen one
to lead them out of the wilderness OF
defeat, but so far the ideal candidate
has not appeared.
William j. Bryan declined the nom
ination with all possible emphasis.
Many of the fusionists still believe he
could poll the highest vote of any dem
ocrat in the state and that whole
hordes of Nebraskans would vote for
him just to see what he would do"
So when the convention meets at Grand
Island next Wednesday there will be
many longing glances cast at Fair
view.
Constantine j. Smyth, Of Omaha,
would make an exceptionally pleasing
candidate to the radical element, but
he is not received with favor by the
conservative democrats in the eastern
section of the state. He has record,
made While he was attorney general,
of being rank anti monopolist. The
anti trust cry will be embarrassing in
the western part of the state, where
the cattlemen are receiving top prices
for stock and are not disposed to listen
to a calamity cry Then, too, Mr..
Smyth is democrat and it is yet to
be decided whether the head of the
ticket will be a democrat of a popu-
list
Gen Victor Vifquain, Of Lincoln, is
an aspirant as is also w. II. Thomp-
son, of Grand Island.
Populists who show a desire to
scrap for the honor are c. w. Berge,
of Lincoln, and ex-Congressman Suth-
erland of Nelson.
Issues are scarce with the fusionists,
and from the wheelhorses of the party
there can be CLEANED no definite infor-
nation concerning the planks of the
platform. The convention will meet in
two bodies, democrats in one, popu-
lists in the other Finances are low;
the state central committee is in debt
Rivalries and chickering's are in evil
dence from various parts Of the state
and a stormy session is expected from
the time the gavel falls until the con-
vention is adjourned.

M'LEAN AFTER TOM JOHNSON.
Cincinnati Editor Seeks Overthrow of
Opponent Once For All.

Columbus o., June 23.-While John
r. Mclean declares he will make no
great effort to control the democrtic
state convention, the truth is he is de-
termined to crush Mayor Tom Johnson
once for all. McLean's lieutentants are
now going about the state with one of
the most startling proposals ever made
in Ohio politics. They declare there is
democratic precedent for unseating a
temporary chairman, and suggest that
Sept. would be good day on which
to follow the precedent. If the anti
Johnson element has a good working
majority in the convention the mayor
of Cleveland will be kept busy clinging
to the honor already bestowed on him,
and will have no spare time to waste
on an effort to win the permanent
Craftsmanship.

MoBBED FOR STOPPING GAME.
Wisconsin Man Narrowly Escapes vio-
Ience from Angry Ball Players.

Tomah, Wis, June 23-Mahk Syver-
son, president Of the Eastern Monroe
County Fair Association stopped a
base ball game on the fair grounds yes
terday afternoon and was mobbed by
the players and spectators. If he had
not been surrounded by a dozen or more
OF his friends, who kept back the crowd.
he would have been roughly handled,
for the crowd was in an ugly temper.
The game was between employees of
the Tomah Cash Mercantile Company
and the C. A. Goodyear saw mill. The
action is the indirect result of the clos
ing of the saloons on Sunday by Mayor
NllZum.
