May Cheat the GallOWs,

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 14.-Gov-
ernor Chatterton this afternoon de-
MED the appeal of Tom Horn, the con-
demned murderer of Willie Nickel,
the l3-year.old Iron Mountain boy,
for communication of sentence to life
imprisonment, and he will be hanged
in the Laramie county jail next Fri.
day by Sheriff Smalley.
Whether Horn is relying on the sue
cess OF an attempt to deliver him, or
whether his attorneys have a winning
card to play is not known, but GER
tain it is that Horns actions, and GER
tain developments of the past few days,
have caused a telling of anxiety in and
about the county Jail. Those who
know Of the strength of the defense
and the completeness of the arrange.
ments to prevent the delivery of Horn
cannot believe that his friends stand
any show Of getting the prisoner out
alive, and those people are confident
that il he is saved from the gallows it
will be by some other method.

To Regulate Freight Charges.

CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-The actual val
ues of railroad properties, as repre-.
sented by money actually expended in
their construction, are to be taken in
to consider alton by the interstate COM
merce commission in the future when
determining the reasonableness of ad-
vances made in freight rates. This
fact developed today when the COM
mission took great pains to ascertain
how much it had cost to build the In
tern ational & Great Northern railway,
which is one of the properties con-
cerned in the advance of rates from
St. Louis to Texas common points.
The position Of the commission is
based on recent ruling of the su-
preme court that railroad is entitled
only to fair return of actual invest
mHnt.

Would Bankrupt the County.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. l3.-The
preliminary hearing of the Sioux In.
dians now held in the county Jail of
Converse county at Douglas, will be
held on Saturday at Douglas. United
States Attorney Burke leaves this
morning for the scene of the hearing,
and will appear for the Indians.
The citizens of Converse county have
become alarmed at the probable ex-
pense of the trial, and it is asserted
that the actual murderers of Sheriff
Miller and Deputy Falkenberg were
killed in the fight, many Of the most
prominent men of the county favor
surrendering the Indians to the United
States government and thus avoid a
trial that will probably bankrupt the
county.

Bankruptcd By Monument.

NEW YORK, Nov. l3.-Practical lily
reduced to poverty because the courts
insisted on her spending her money to
build her husband a monument, Mrs.
Elizabeth Weisen has been compelled
to file a petition in bankruptcy. Her
liabilities are placed at $42 ,947 with
no available assets.
When her husband died it was gen.
orally thought that Mrs Weisen
would be able to live the remainder
of her life in peace and comfort, but
when his will was opened it was found
that he had decreed that magnificent
monument be erected for him in Wood
lawn cemetery and that he had the
plans drawn. It was found that the
estate would not only be eaten up but
that the widows own resources would
be taxed heavily to carry out her late
husbands wishes.
Mrs. Weissen appealed to the court
for relief. The court decided that 80
far as the estate was capable of bear
ing the expense, his wishes must be
carried, out. The monument, one OF
the finest in Woodlawn, has been built
and Mrs. Weisen is now worse than
penniless.

To Provide Homes for the Poor,

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-For the
purpose of providing homes and en-.
ployment for the homeless poor and
making them self sustaining home
owners, independent of being hired -
Senator Hoar today by request, intro
duced in the senate bill to create a
bureau of national homes to be placed
under the direction of the secretary of
agriculture. The bill authorizes the
secretary to advise the secretary OF
the interior to withdraw from the mar
ket and settlement l40,000,000 acres
OF government lands, grouping them
together in as large tracts as possible.
Under the bill the secretary of agri-
culture is directed to prepare the land
for occupation as national homes for
farmers and others who will till the
soil and receive the proceeds of their
labors with the exception OF amounts
which will be set aside to reimburse
the government for its expense in pre-
pairing lands and building homes for
the tenants. 1t is planned to use the
property for the benefit of all able.
bodied poor. The bill was referred
to the committee on public lands.

UNCLE SANS ARMY.
Official Report States That 1t Consists
of About 10000 Fighting Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. r.
The annual report of Acting Adjutant
General Hall of the army, made pub
lie today, deals with every phase OF
the military establishment. The act
tual strength of the army on Octob ber
l5, 1903, was 1851 officers and So, 800
enlisted men.
A detailed account of the workings
of the act to promote the efficiency of
the militia passed at the last session
of congress is given. Inspections Of
the several militia org EXAMINATIONS were
made and the total number of the Or
ganized militia, including officers, was
ascertained to be ll6, ,542.
Regarding the dependable strength
of the militia in time of national peril,
the adjutant general states that sal
though the obligation of officers and
men Of the militia to respond prompt
ly to sudden call of the president
has been on the statute books more
than 100 years, and that of the organ
lied militia or national guard for
nearly 40, and the neglect to so res
pond is punishable by such penalties
as a court.martial may direct, ex-
perience has shown that this obliga-
ton is theory rather than fact.
Without going further back than the
late war with Spain, the proportion
of the membership of militia organi-
cations who have actually responded
to calls of the president has borne a
very small proportion to those act
ually borne on the company rolls.'
The report says about 80 of the ori-
ginal company is a fair estimate of
the number of men of each company
that were finally received into the ser.
vice of the United States.

STRIKERS DEFY POLICE,
Riotous Scenes Attend the Strike Of Chi
cago Street Car Employees.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Constant scenes
OF disorder over district approx
mately fifty square miles in extent, re-
suited today from inauguration of the
strike by the employees of one Of the
two principal surface street railway
companies in Chicago. All along the
lines wherever cars were started,
strike sympathizers made desper ate
onslaughts on the crews beginning at
the dawn of day today and continuing
as long as the cars remained on the
tracks. The strike was ordered at q
mass meeting of conductors and
motormen and gripmen with only four
dissenting votes. The strike is to en-
force demand for wage increase OF
% per cent and recognition of the
union. About 5000 employees are in
volved and 220 miles of surface track
acge, part cable and part electric.
That disturbances might be expected
today was indicated by the wide dis
tribution Of proclama alton by Mayo
Carter H. Harrison, warning citizens
to keep off the streets along the lines
of the city railway. With general or
ders to emain in reserve and take no
part in the strike unless ordered, and
then only to protect property, details
of police were sent to the various car
barns.
NH r. ~ n Il
that no person was killed is no fault
of the rioters. One man had his back
broken and the first shot OF the strike
was fired at Wentworth avenue and
West Sixty-ninth street, where a mob
of several hundred persons tried to
hold up a train. Many persons,
chiefly non.union street car men were
injured by flying stones or splintered
glass. Two women were among those
hurt.
Before nightfall President D. G.
Hamilton and General Consul Bliss
of the railway company, after endeav-
oring to operate cars in defiance of the
strike OF it's trainmen, announced after
conference with Mayor Harrison
that the attempt would be abandoned
for the day. The railway officials de-
clare that 80 per cent. of their en-
ployes are loyal and if accorded suffi-
cient protection by the police depart.

Street Cars Were Blocked.

CHICAGO, Nov. l5.-A victory, tenn
porary at least, was scored today by
the management of the Chicago City
railway against its striking employees.
Twenty-Five cars in all were put into
service, but the schedule was frequent
ly interfered with by delays caused by
distractions being placed on the
tracks, and the inexperience of the
men in charge of the cars. The most
serious trouble occurred during the
morning, when a number of arrests
were made, but clashes between the
police and the crowds that lined the
streets were frequent during the after.
noon, and when darkness set in it was
not considered safe to send more cars
from the barns.
More arrests were made during the
day than at any time since the strike
was declared. The most trouble was
experienced between Twenty second
and Thirty-ninth streets. In the
blocks bounded by these thorough
fares crowds OF men, women and chill
dren congregated and as the first car
passed hooted at the police and non
union employees. This was soon fol.
lowed by more violent demon str ations.
Huge barricades were piled upon the
tracks, stones were thrown at the cars,
and a hand'to.hand conflict between
the police and the crowd followed in
several instances. Several patrol
wagons, which had previously been
called, we're filled with prisoners.
