 ment

 was taken to 9:30 o'clock Tn the morn ing. The hearing is based on the appli-
 cation of the minority stockholders for
 q permanent injunction to refrain the Union Pacific railroad or persons inter- este6 in it from voting the shares own ed and controlled by it in the annual election by the stockholders of the Southern Pacific company at Berch- | mont, a suburb of Louisville on April | $. The restraining order is asked for on the ground that the Union Pacific is using it's stock to control the Southern Pacific property in such a way as to | prejudice the interests of the minority stockholders who have no interest in
 union.

INVASION OF A
 LOGGING CAMP
A Conflict Between Strikers and the
 Mill Guards.

Ukiah, Cal, April Word was re- celVed at the sheriff's office here yes teroay afternoon of riot at Gracey. several of the strikers were wounded. CltlZens 1ntervened, and prevented further trouble. As near as can be learned by telephone service a. band of the strlkers reached the Union Lumber company's logging camp at Gracey on Tuesday morning and induced about twenty men to quit work Another band of strikers started from Fort Bragg about o'clock the next morning to walk to Gracey and endeavor to get the rest of the men out. When they reached Gracey. they were met by guards and a foreman of the woods at Gracey. They were ordered not to ap- proach the camp unless they were on the company's busiEeSs. It appears that the strikers were armed.
 The leader of the strikers ordered the men to fire on the guards. The guards, armed with shotguns, loaded with buckshot, returned the fire with damaging effect. The strikers re- turned the fire and the battle was kept up several minutes. Meanwhile citi- zens of Fort Bragg heard of the trouble

MISS TAURET'S BROTHER
 WOUNDED IH X DUEL
No Better Satisfied Than at the Be-
 ginning of the Affair.

Paris, April 1.-The brother of Mile Emma Touret was wounded in the fore arm today in a duel fought with M. Marcel Provost, the novelist, at Neiuliy. Mile. Touret fired two shots from a To- volver Monday at M. Provost. Her brother later sent his seconds to M Provost.
 The duel was carried out under cir cumstances of unusual secrecy The meeting was at noon and only the prin- cipals, their seconds and doctors were present. Touret was the aggressor and kept Provost on the defensive, but the latter's superior skill was manifest During one of M. Tourets precipitata charges he was wounded in the fore arm, but demanded that he be allowed to continue the fighting. The doctors, however peremptorily refused, and the two duellists left the field unreconciled.
 In spite of Prevost's refusal to lodge a complaint, the authorities have de- cided to prosecute Emma Tcuret for her attempt to shoot him.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 WORKS FOR ITSELF
Denial That It Is Operated in Interest
 of the Union Pacific.

New York, April 1.-The affidavits in the answer of the Southern Pacific com- pany to the suit of Talbot J. Taylor and company against the Southern Pa cific and Union Pacific, deny that the Southern Pacific is operated in the in- terest of the Union Pacific The most important of the atiidavits is made by F.. H. Hartman. In it he sets forth that a mutual friend of himself and Edward Lauterbach told him, Hartman, that James R. Keene represented a pool holding 170,00O or 175,0OO shares of Southern Pacific and that MT. Keene himself held about 10000 shares. that they contemplated action which. says the affidavit, would make us a prea [ deal of trouble, unless we purchased said shares from them, that he would sell the pool shares al about 70 and his own shares at about 7S." MT. Harri- man declares that he replied that he would not be forced by fear into any, thing that would be adverse to the in- terests of the general body of stock holders of the Southern Pacific.

RODE IN A CAB.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-President Roosevelt viewed the scenery around the famous Horseshoe Curve this after noon from a seat in the cab of loco- motive attached to the special train, anG after ride of about fifty miles expressed himself as delighted with his experience. When his special reached Altoona, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, the president align ed from his car and walked rapidly to the front of the train. Two engines were coupled to it ready to pull the heavy cars over the Ale gheny mountains, and the president shook hands with the crews of each. He then climbed into the cab of the rear engine, No. 240S. In the cab with him were Secretary Loeb, Tr2inmaster A. Keiser, Special Engineer Robert Me Larn, the regular engineer, H. T. Me Cormick and Fireman H. w. Hunter.
 As he took his seat the president re- marked that, being a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, he thought he ought to take his turn at feeding the furnace, but he did nos do so. When Galitzen, the crest of the mountain, was reached, the front loco motive was detached from the train and the run to SeaW5ru was made with one engine. Here the president climbed down from his dusty seat, and after shaking hands with the engineers ana firemen went back to his private car. rather dusty and grimy, but enthusias
 tic over the novel experience. While the presidents engine occupied the second place on the train Q tunnel seven eighths of mile in length was trav- ersed, and although the cab was pro- tected by windows and doors quite , quantity of smoke found the way in.
 No record breaking runs were made while the president sat in the cab, the speed of the train not reaching over forty-five miles an hour. Outside ct his ride on the engine the president passed an uneventful day. devoting large portion of it to reading. Stops were made at Baltimore and at AL toona, but only at one place did the president make a speech. A large crowd met his train at Harrisburg, and al though no speeches were scheduled for this place, MT. Roosevelt appeared on the rear platform of his car and de-
 livered a short address which was re-
 ceived with many cheers.

MORE THAN HALF
Suffer From Coffee Drinking.


 Coffee does not set up disease with all people using it, on the other hand it ah- solutely does create disease in thou sands and thousands of cases perfectly well authenticated and traceable direct ly to coffee and nothing else.
 This statement may hurt the feelings of some coffee drinkers but the facts are exactly what they are.
 Make inquiry of some e your coffee drinking friends and :ou may be cer- tain of one thing, one half of them, yes more than half, suffer from some sort of incipient or chronic disease. If you want to prove it's the coffee, or would prefer to prove it is not the coffee in these cases, take coffee away from those persons for from ten days to month, don't change the food in any other way but give them Postum Food Coffee, and the proof of whether coffee has beer the trouble or not will be placed before you in unmistaka ble terms.
 A young lady in the St. Mary's acad- emy, Winnepeg. Can., says: "One of our teachers suffered a long while from in digestion. She was a coffee drinker. She became worse steadily and finally was reduced to point where the stonl- ach did not retain any food, then cleo tricity was tried but without avail She, of course, grew weak very fast and the doctor said the case was practically in curable.
 About that time I was attracted to 2 statement in one of the papers regard- ing the poisonous effect of coffee and tie value of Postum Food Coffee Tine | statement was not extravagant but couched in terms that won my confi- | dence and aroused me to the belief that 1 it was true. I persuaded our teacher 1 to leave off the morning cup of coffee | altogether and use Postum Food Coffee. | "A change took place. She began to get better. She has now regained her strength and is able to eat almost every kind of food and has taken her position as teacher again." Name given bS l Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

GREAT SHIP COMBINE.
Puts Itself in a Way to Deal With the
 World.

Trenton, N. J., April 1-The Interna- tional Mercantile Marine company, the great transatlantic ship combination, which was incorporated last October with an authorized capital stock of s12Q, ,0000, today filed papers amend ing it's original charter. The amend nlent consists of a provision authoriz- ing the company to enter into a con- tract with the United States govern ment or states or dependencies thereof, or with any foreign government or state, including the power to sell or hire any of it's steamships or sailing vessels or property to such govern ments or states for any purpose what ever, whether naval, military or other wise.
 It is believed here that the amend ment has been inserted to meet the op- jection of the English government that under the original charter that govern ment would not have power to impress any of the vessels of the company into it's naval service in times of war.

St. Louis, Mo, April 1.-The injunc- tion issued on March 3 by Judge Elmer B. Adams oi the United States district court at the instance of the Wabash railroad officials to restrain the broth- erhood of railway trainmen and fire men from ordering a strike on that system was today dissolved in a decis- ion handed down by Judge Adams, week after the hearing of arguments from both sides for and against the re- moval of the legal obstacle.
 What the next move will be on either side is problematical. At the Wabash headquarters it was stated that an amicable adjustment of the controversy is hoped for. The same sentiment was expressed at the hotels where are quartered the few representative off, cials of the trainnen and firemen now in the city. Counsel for both sides spent the afternoon in conference, but no agreement was reached.
 The keynote for an amica ble settle ment was sounded by Judge Adams in rendering his decision today. He said: II cannot conclude this opinion without expressing the sincere wish of the court that if the parties are unable to adjust their differences by such mutual con sessions as are necessary to that end the offer made in open court by the de- fendant's counsel to submit the Nues- tions in dispute to a beard of arbitra- tion provided for by the act of con- gross of 1898 will be speedily accepted and another instance of rational and intelligent adjustment of a business difficulty will be exhibited to an expec- tant public.'
 President Ramsay of the Wabash is at present en route to Cairo, Egypt, tc attend his daughter, who is i'll. George J. Gould arrived early tonight on his annual tour of inspection. While not acknowledgements it is believed thai in President Ramsey's absence, MT. Gould will remain here for a short time at least, and endeavor to effect a set clement O; the situation.

THE PRESIDENT
 STARTS WEST The Auspicious Beginning of
 His Journey
He Rode Part of the Way in Loco motive Cab and Talked of Perform ing His Duties as a Member of the Brotherhood of Fireman.

Washington, April 1. - President Roosevelt at 9:05 this morning started on his western trip under the most favorable circumstances. As the spec ial train pulled out of the Pennsylvania station the president stood on the plat form of his car tipping his hat and smiling in response to the cheers of the great crowd gathered to see him off. A large number of the diplomatic corps and government officials and friends were at the station to bid the president good-by. No member of his immediate family was present, Mrs. Roosevelt and the young children be- ing down the Chesapeake bay on the Mayflower and Miss Alice in Porto Rico.
 The train was one of the finest ever run out of Washington by the Penn sylvania road, and was manned by a crew of picked men. The journey, as planned. will occupy nine weeks an1 three days. The party will travel a little more than 14,000 miles.
 The party will reach Chicago tomor- cago and vicinity will include visits to NOrlnWeSteTH anu CHicdSo uhlNeTSllleS and a meeting at the auditorium in the evening.
 Friday the party will be in Mill waukee and Saturday in Minneapolis, from whence he will continue his jour- ney westward. After visiting Yellow stone park, the president will spend most of the month of May in California and on the coast after which the return trip will be taken up.

LEADERS WE'RE SURE OF IT.

Cleveland, O., April 1.-Grand Master Morrissey of the brotherhood of train men, referring to the dissolution of the injunction against the Wabash em- ployees, said today: The decision of Judge Adams in declining to further restrain the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in the Wabash case. was not unexpected. There was absolutely no foundation in truth at any time to war rant the extraordinary procedure that was taken, but as the complaint of the company on which the injunction was issued was of such a grave nature, in volving the liberties of citizenship as well as alleging conspiracy against in- terState commerce it was not such a surprise that the judge felt justified in issuing the provisional order.
 ''The evidence presented by the or ganiZations at the hearing as to their relation to the issues was of such a straightforward and legitimate char acter, that the charges of conspiracy and interference were effectualIy dis proved. It was absurd, as well as un- just to charge the two organizations with the intention of inaugurating a boycott, or declaring sympathetic StTlkeS OH otnef lines because or any trouble that might occur on the Wa bash. The committees representing the employees are now free to act and if the differences are not amicably adjusted it will not be because they or the organ izations of which they are part have taken an unreasonable or arbitrary position. We will lend our best efforts to bring about peacable settlement. While we may have suffered tenn porary embarrassment by the proceed ing. the most searching judicial in- quiry into our methods have resulted in their being declared regular and lawful and we think organized labor has been strengthened and dignified thereby

It Was a Small Dam at Williams
 That Gave Way.

The big railroads storage dam at that point is full and IS inches of water is flowing over the top. The Saginaw dam is also full.

CAME TO AN UNDERSTANDING.
The N. Y, N. H. and H. Railroad and
 Its Employees.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 1.-The dis- ferences between the trainmen of the New York, New Haven and Hartfor l Railroad company and their employers were amicably settled late this after noon. The statement given out came from Valentine Fitzpatrick of the trainmen's national brotherhood. At the offices of the railroad company 1t was stated that the company had no statement to make.
 MT. FitZpatrick's statement is IS fol- lows: "The company and MT. Fitz- patrick met President Hall, Vice Pres;- dent Merrill and Directors Miller and Thayer and succeeded in reaching a settlement which we have every reason to believe will be very satisfactory to all concerned.
 "The wages, hours and rules goverfv ing the conditions of the employees of the road, brakemen, switchmen, yard conductors and yard brakemen, are ma terially improved, and we believe when the employees learn just what has been done in the matter they will feel tha, they have been justly treated by the employers"
 The conductors grievances will be heard tomorrow. it is said. Although the absence of anything special in the statement in the shape of figures caused some comment, it was learned from . thoroughly reliable source that when the agreement entered into takes effect the trainmen will be working on bass such as they have never before enjoyed and which will compare favorably with the wages of any similar body of men in the country.
