Falls to investigate evidence which
Captain Neyins had secured in behalf

examined by the three investigators,
with the result he was arrested and
brought here on the first train.
Deputy District Attorney Spencer
put in several hours at the Jail yes
terday morning in CrOss-eXaminatiOn
of the prisoner. The result Of adroit
questioning was that Sailor found
himself all tangled up, and he then
broke down and told the story.
The prisoner stated he had placed
a number of spikes on the rails. which
he had picked up along the track, and
then hid in the vicinity to await the
accident He disCIaimed any inten-
tion of train robbery. and in fact fail
ed to give any intelligent reason for
the crime. Mr. Spencer admits that
Sailor is simple minded. and Tailor
Jackson this morning unhesitatingly
pronounced him an idiot.
The crew and passengers of the
train had a miraculous escape. The
railroad people at the time expressed
wonder that the whole train did not

INTEREST IN GERMAN ELECTION.

Berlin, June 16.-The heated contest
between the emperor and the social
lists causes the ktenest interest to be
manifested in tOday's general elect
ion in Germany. The campaign has
been one OF the liveIiest ever seen in
the empire. especially in the provinces
where personalities and local interests
have aroused considerable feeling.
The capital being overwhelmingly So
cialistic, the other political parties
have worked their hardest in the cOun-
try but the question which politicians
everywhere are asking one another
is: What will the socialist vote
amount to- The -sOcialiStic par
ties have conducted the campaign on
a platform of loyalty to the monarchy
to the church. to the stable institu-
tons and to the rights Of property
against the GODDESS, lawless. proper
tyless. greedy disintegrators or
dreamers." The socialists have laid
stress on cheap bread and meat, econ
Omic prosperity based on lower tar
ifs and freedom Of speech and criti-
clsm, emitting theoretical discussions
The emperor and his supporters
have employed all their vast influence
using the press and the machinery OF
officiaIdom for all they are worth, in
herculean effort to overwhelm the
| socialists at the polls today. To the
| unbiased onloOker, however, ii appears
more than probable that the ''politi
cal monster" will refuse to be over
| whelmed and that he will show his
| head even higher after the contest is
over Herr Bebel and the other So
cialist leaders have conducted g
whirl-wind campaign and it is a sig
niicant sign Of the times that their
meetings in many of the provinces
have been more largely attended thar
| ever before.

were tWO-baggers. the whole netting

Gravel aggregation came in at the
finish with but one run to their credit
and that secured by an error on the
side of the local players. 1t was not
a game one would care to see repeat
ed, for the opposing nine was clearly
OuJClassed by the sch0OlbOys although
the Last Chance outfit at one time
had a great string Of victories to their
credit. The pitching Of Parks Of the
Institute was too much Of a mystery
and the little twirler had II strikeOuts
to his credit. The Institute boys, al

One of the Possible Results of the Ca
nal Treaty.

Washington, D. C-The canal treaty
between the United States and COlom
bia, if not ratified by the South Amer
lean government, may change the mar
of Central America.
Secretary Hay is keenly interested
in a report which reaches the capital
that if Colombia does not ratify the
treaty for the construction Of the ca
nal by the United tSates, the states OF
Panama and Cauca, which occupy the
isthmus and adjacent territory. will
secede and set up an Independent gov

BY the terms of the SpOOnOr bill or
Panama Canal treaty, the United
States is in honor bound to go to wal
against the seeding states.
The state department is also much
interested in the news it received from
Nicaragua that Senior Sanchez, the
Nicaraguan minister of foreign at
fairs. has started for Washington
The state department believes that
his visit has TO DO with the subject of
the Nicaraguan route and that he
comes TO Washington with a fresh
proposition advantageous to the Unit
pu states, anu IOiSo tiItil III VIZ" VI
the prOcrastinating policy Of Colombia
the United Statets may see the adVis-
ability of resuming negotiations with
Nicaragua at once 1t is believed here
that a revolution would be inevitable
if the treaty should be rejected by the
Colombian congress. Panama Will
be enormously benefited by the canal
and its prosperity and peace would
be assured through the protecting in
fluence Of the United States along the
territory of the waterway.
Senator Morgan. in his opposition
to the treaty. emphasized the fact
that it's provisions forever placed the
states OF Panama and Cauca within
the power of the government OF Co.
lOmbia and that the United States
would be obliged to maintain order in
these states to prevent them seeding.
1t is suggested that opposition to the
treaty in some quarters OF Panama is
due to the desire To see the treaty de-
feated as a condition precedent to the
establishment of an independent gov
eminent.
