Resort to DYNAMITE.

Helena, Mont, Oct. THE entire
state of Montana is being searched
today for a desperate band OF black
mailers, who seem bent on destroying
the Northern Pacific railroad by
means of dynamite.
The fact that the dynsmiters have
succeeded in planting explosives at
two different points, and in each case
the train was partly wrecked, has
caused a feeling of great uneasiness
everywhere along the line. Extra
guards were put on at all points this
morning to protect the railroad.

Cause Of Lockjaw.

Lockjs~, Or tetsnue, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists plent-
fully in street dirt. It is inactive 30
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin rs in the
wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air
is excluded the germ is reused to
activity and produces the most virul-
ent poison known These germs may
be destroyed and all danger of lock-
jaw avoided by applying Chamber
lain's Pain Balm freely az soon as the
injury is received. Pain Balm is an
a~ntiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without mat
uration and in one third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. It is

Baron Won RoseD, the Russia min

The popular feeling in Japan is

MINISTER POWELL TO INSIST.
Will Press Demand Upon San Domingo
for Settlement of Claims.

Instructions have been sent by the State
Department to United States Minister Pow
ell to insist upon his demand upon the gov
eminent of San Domingo for a prompt set
Element of the Clyde and Ros claims. The
Dominican government has suggested a
postponement Of the consideration OF these
claims until the return from the United
States of one of it's agents charged with
the negotiations, but as several delays have
already been permitted without sensible
advance of the negotiations it has been de-
cided to press steadily forward.
The Clyde claim is founded upon the ac-
ton Of the Dominican government in per-
hitting port dues to be paid partly in paper
money instead of entirely in gold, thus re-
ducing the value Of the special concession
granted the Clyde company In return for
the establishment Of steam service.
The Ros claim arises from the failure OF
the Dominican government to comply with
the terms Of concession granted to Sal
vador Ros. a naturalized American. in re-
turn for large expenditure by him in har-
Dor improvements.

The Waste Paper Nuisance.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Euitof OF The Evening Star:
Last week there was published in your
paper letter. wherein some one gave eX-
preston to their righteous indigna ton re-
garding the great amount Of greasy, insight

parkings, pavements and streets, and

direction might, II thus aired, give a little
helpful suggestion.

dwelling was built IN our immediate neigh

Workmen came to sit under our shade

matter pleasing in itself; but alas, after the
men had gone back to work. they had

there is at all times much building going

The refusal on the part OF the trustees
has aroused great indignation among the
students remaining, and bitter editorials
and communica tions have appeared in the

A mass meeting has been called for FRI

Proposed Naval Hospital Stricken
From Naval Appropriation Bill.
During the consideration of the naval
appropriation bill in the House yesterday
afternoon a point of order was made by
Mr. Hemenway against the paragraph of
the bill providing for the construction of a
naval hospital In this city. The chairman,
Mr.. Ginett-of Massachusetts, sustained the
point Of order and the appropriation,
$125, 200, was stricken from the bill.
In arguing against the point of order Mr..
Mudd contended that the land where It was

Of 23d street northwest lis owned by the
Navy Department. that there was now a
