CRIPPLE CREEK ASSAY
OFFICES BLOWN UP

In this city the assay office of Ben
iamin & Barnes. on EXenia street,
near the Florence d Cripple Creek de-
pot, was dynamited about 3:3O o'clock
a. IN. The dynamite was placed in the
rear Of the building. which was only
slightly damaged. The windows We're
broken, but the furnace and fixtures
were uninjured. AT the time of the
explosion Night Captain Brass and Po-
liceman Ward, who had been notified
of the earlier Victor explosions. We're
on their way to the depot to meet the
incoming trains. They were nearly
opposite the office when the dynamite
exploded. No one was injured.
The establishments destroyed in
Goldfield were the office of A. C.
Boyce, at the corner of Portland and
Ninth street. and that of Schalback &
Franklin. near the National sampling
plant. Mrs. Boyce WIS in the former
and was injured by broken glass. Mrs.
tion. was badly frightened by the
shock. and serious results are feared.
The loss from ore stealing in this dis
trict is estimated by mine owners at
not less than $4,000 month The
losseS 1T tlic IllutpeHueuce dloHe. llit
managers say, are not less than 5000
IL month. Other producers of high
grade ore are like sufferers. The per-
centage of ore thieves among the min
ers is very small, and the majority are
as strongly in favor of justice being
meted out to the thieves as are the
mine managers themselves. Time and
time again ore thieves have been
caught red-handed but the difficulties
of securing conviction by jury trials
have been almost insurmountable.
There has been absolutely no excite
ment in the district caused by the dy-
namiters. and it is generally regretted
that violence should have been resort
ed to.

THE MINNESOTA CASE.
United States Supreme Court Has No
Jurj8djction

Washington. Feb. 25.-The Supreme
Court yesterday delivered its opinion
in the case of Minnesota versus the
Northern Securities Company. in appli-
cation of the state to file Il bill of com
plant in that court. The opinion was
read by Justice Shiras and the motion
for leave to file the bill was denied on
the ground that this court was without
jurisdiction.
This is the case in which the state
of Minnesota made an effort to secure
the intervention of the Supreme Court
TO prevent the merging of the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern rail
roads by Injunction. Justice Shiras
summed up his judgment of the court
as follows:
AS the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific Railway companies
are Indispensable parties. without
whose presence the court, acting AS Il
court of equity. cannot proceed, and as
our constitutional jurisdiction would
not extend to the case if those com
panies We're made parties defendant.
the motion for leave to file the pro-
posed bill must be and is denied"
The opinion is a voluminous one. but
the greater part of it is Il review of the
case.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Feb. 24.-(Spe-
cial to the Denver Republican, THE
violence of dynamite was used against
Il number of assay offices, bearing the
local designation of ''high-grade
shops" at an early hour this morning.
Eight of these establishments, five in
Victor, two in Goldtield and one in
this city. were more or less damaged
by the explosions. Not one of the lead
ing assay offices in the district was
molested.
The destruction of these 'high-
grade establishments. miles apart.
but all between the hours of 3 and
3:3O O'Clock II. m, would indicate that
The explosions were prearranged.
Several theories are advanced as
leading to the preparation of the
crimes. BY some it is thought that
the explosions were caused by ore
thieves, who. after placing their lib
erty in jeopardy, think they have
been in turn robbed. BY others il is
surmised that self-constituted vigi-
lance committee Of miners. who have
lost by the operations of ore thieves.
instigated the plot. Still another the
Dry, timdly advanced, is that detect
ives or others in the employ of the
Mine Owners Association were at the
bottom of it. In any case. it is Ger
tain that Il number of men We're en-
gagged in the handling of the eXplos-
ives.
The authorities, who have been
working on the case all day. tonight
refuse to express an opinion. They
also refuse to make n statement as re-
CARDS the reputation of the offices de-
stroycd.
No complaints have been filed with
the sheriff, and no arrests have been
made. The total loss to the buildings
and their contents will not exceed 81.
600.

President Withdraws Invitation to
Dinner

Washington. Feb. 25.-1he President
yesterday withdrew his invitation ex-
tended to Senator Iillman of South
Carolina, to attend the dinner last
night in honor of Prince Henry of Prus-
sa at the White House. Ii is stated
that this action on the part of the
President was made necessary from
the fact that owing to occurrences on
the floor of the Senate last Saturday
the senator from South Carolina was
declared in contempt of the Senate.
Senator Martin of Virginia has ac-
cepted an invitation in Mr.. Tillman's
place.
The invitation was extended orig
inally to MIR. Tillman, owing to the fact
that he is the ranking minority mem
Der of the naval affairs committee.
There was a sensational sequel to
the decision of the President to elimi-
nate Senator Tillman from the list of
dinner guests. The President sent for
Senator Cockrell of Missouri and asked
him rs Il friend and Democratic col
league of Mr.. Tillman to suggest TO the
latter the propriety Of withdrawing his
acceptance of the dinner invitation.
The President explained his attitude in
the matter and said that in view of
the contempt proceedings, Mr.. Till
mans presence would not only be an
affrOnt to the Senate, but a discourtcsy
TO Prince Henry.
Mr.. Cockrell accepted the commits
sion and later telephoned 10 the Presi-
dent that Mr.. Tillman absolutely re-
fused to withdraw his acceptance. in
response to the Presidents suggestion.
The President Immediately Cancelled
the invitation in note he dispatched
directly to Mr.. Tillman shortly before
noon. simultaneously Senator Martin
was invited to take Mr.. Tillmans place
