CHICAGO, June 17.-Centra1 Pas

At the meeting of the Central asso-

WILL TRY TO SETTLE RATE WAR.
Western Passenger Association to Meet
at Chicago Today.


A settlement of the rate war now In
progress between the st. Paul Chicago
lines, may be effected today, when the
Western Passenger association meets
in Chicago. The reduction in the fare
between the Twin Cities and Chicago
will be the only question up for dis
cussion, and, if possible, the Wisconsin
Central will be prevailed upon to re-
cede from its position and withdraw
the So rate.
In case the association fails to bring
about an agreement between the lines,
n lively fight is anticipated. It was
rumored yesterday that the Milwaukee
will inaugurate Sc rate in order to
bring the fight to a focus if the asso-
citation fails to settle the obnoxious
rate question.
However, this was denied at the ST.
Paul Office of the Milwaukee road. The
Milwaukee is the only line which has

SMITH WAS ASLEEP
But He Awoke In Time to Win
the Girl.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Sept. 26.-Miss
Annabel Mitchell. of Rochester, Ind. be-
came Mrs. Perry C. Smith, of Indianap-
oils, today. Two months ago she and
her mother boarded a. train on which
Smith was returning from a business
trip to Chicago.
The car was crowded. Mrs. Mitchell
found seat, but the best the daughter
could do was to take a place beside
Smith, who was sleeping. Miss Mitch
ell was careful not to disturb him, but
Smith awoke finally to find very
pretty young woman at his elbow. He
rubbed his eyes to see If he was dream
ing. stole few glances at the fair
maiden. and. before he knew 1t, was
deeply in love with her.
Smith soon learned from her card
that his companion was Miss Annabel
Mitchell of Rochester. In another part
of the car Miss Mitchell's mother was
an Interested spectator, but she did
not realize the progress of events.
The journey ended all too soon for
Smith and the girl, but he lost no time
in becoming regular caller at her
home, and today they were married
by REV. J. N. Garfield. of this city
They left here this afternoon for the
East to spend their honeymoon. Smith
is the local manager of a manufactur-
ing concern.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept 26.-Gov
A. B. Cummins, the young man from
the West whom President Roosevelt
unsuccessfully tried to curb. in spite OF
cries that Allison had pulled him down
the pole, is still the same politician
with the iowa Idea,' for in his OPEN
ing speech tonight he frankly reiterated
caused SO much comment throughout
the East and branded Cummins as the
man with the Iowa Idea"
For all the loud callings of harmony
in the Republican ranks there is still
the same division. 1t is true that the
platform of the Republicans does not
come as boldly out with the mon
shelter to monopoly plank as the one
written by George Roberts, director of
the United States mint, upon which
Mr. Cummins was first elected, but 1t
is one on which Cummins is willing to
stand, for he wrote it. But the gov
ernor will lose votes in Iowa within his
own ranks this fall. When he was nom
mated he did not stand firmly out and
stick to his radical but admired decla-
ration. He clothed the platform in a
language which was suave, but showed
weakness. Then he lost hold upon
the following gained by his Minneapo-
lis declaration, which was that he IA
vored competition for the consumer
rather than protection for the monop-
oily. He played to the stand patters. -
Since that time he has found that the
stand patters" care nothing for him
anyway and now has attempted to
swing back 10 his old following. But

PROPOSED SACRIFICE
Offers to Serve Life Sentence
In His Fathers Place.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 26.-Desiring
to take his fathers place in the state
penitentiary. where he has served eight
years of life sentence for murder
DR.. w. P. Rushing, of Albany, today
wrote Gov. Terrell as follows:
Mine is a strange request. My fa-
ther is incarcerated in the state peni-
tentiary under life sentence. He has
been there for eight years. There is not
a mitigating circumstance connected
with his crime upon which to base
hopes of a pardon. His record as a Cit
izen and in his family was exemplary
up to the commission of the crime. He
longs for freedom. 1 can see no way to
obtain 1t for him except by substitu-
tionary suffering for him. Is such al
lowable? If SO, am willing to take his
place, for a period, at least, while he
has temporary liberty before he dies
Can you grant my request?"
The murder for which Rushing is
serving life sentence was committed
In Thomas county. He had a business
misunderstanding with a man named
Lilly, who was superintendent of
Sunday school in Metcalf Ga. Rushing
conceived the idea that Lilly was going
to sell out his home, so one Sunday
morning he went to the Sunday school
where Lilly was teaching and shot hfIa

ATTEMPT TO kIDNAP
Supposed Convict Tries to
Garry Off Child of Governor.

LINCOLN, Neb.,4 Sept. 26.-An at
tempt was made last night to kidnap
the eight-year- daughter of Gov.
Mickey. While four ofsthe governors s
children were playing in front of the
mansion an unknown man came along
and tried to carry the oldest girl away.
The other children clung. to her clothes
and screamed. The man was so badly
frightened when he saw the neighbors
coming that he dropped the child and
ran.
Gov. Mickey says the warden of the
penitentiary, M. Beener, reported to
him twice that a kidnapping attempt
had been prophesied by cenvicts- One
convict said some time ago that such
plan had been formed as means of
getting revenge on the governor for
his refusal to interfere when William
Rhea was hanged last summer for
murder. A convict who had been in
the plot says a convict soon to be re-
leased has been. assigned to kidnap
one of the children to teach the gov
ernor a lesson"

.INSINCERITY OF THE
PORTE'S INTENTIONS
This Is Evident In the Person
mel of the New Macedonian
Commission.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept 26.-The per-
sonnel of the sultan's new Macedonian
commission is alleged to be an indica-
ton of the insincerity of the Porte's
intentions. The Bulgarian represent
ative, Nikola Rebeff, member of the
court Of justice at Monastir, is eighty
years old and has been for many years
an official Of the Turkish government.
With the exception of Hilmi Pasha,
Inspector general. who is president Of
the commission, none of the others has
any prominence or influence. The fact
that the Bulgarian population of Mac
edonia is given only one representative
Is held to show that the Porte has not
accepted the demands made by the
Sofia government.
In view of the fact that the powers
decided to answer the Bulgarian note,
it is doubtful If next weeks meeting
between the car and Emperor Francis
Joseph will cause any material change
of policy.
The report that Capt. Tchernopeff
captor of Miss Ellen M. Stone, had
been killed is untrue.

While none of the statesmen could
curb this man the pressure they

some poor moves.
The governor has worse fight than

Gov. Cummins opened the Iowa Re-
publican campaign tonight before 1000
persons. The meeting was under the
auspices of the Polk county Republican
club and its president, Col. A. B. Shaw,
presided.
Gov. Cummins said that he hoped
that the outcome of the election this
fall would demonstrate to the nation
that there were 100000 more men in
Iowa who believed in the principles of
protection than believed in free trade,
who believed that the Republican way
of dealing with trust evils was better
than the Democratic way, and who be-
lieved that Theodore Roosevelt repre-
sented the highest type of American
citizenship. The governor said since
the Democratic platform did not men

issues until later speech and devoted

STOCKHOLDERS MOVE
FOR A RECEIVERSH|P
Consolidated Lake Superior
People VIII MakesAppIica-
tlon Tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA Pa. Sept. 26. -
Consolidated Lake Superior stockhold-
ers will move formally Monday for the
receivership as the surest way to pro-
tect their equity IN the property. This
action has been. determined on in view
of the uncertain attitude of Speyer s,
Co. and conviction that the time has
come when the step cannot be delayed
longer without danger.
Application for the appointment of a
receiver for the $117,0D GOO corpora
ton will be made In Connecticut, under
the laws of which the Consolidated
Lake Superior company is incorporat-
ed. Promptly after the expected grant
ing of the petition for receivership ap-
plication Will be made in New York for
the appointment of an auxiliary re-
ceiver to act in that, state. This will be
accompanied by a petition for an In
junction to restrain the sale of the
Speyer collaterals.
The management and board of d.
rectors of the company are eognizant of
the intended receiyership move, and, 1t
is understood, have agreed to interpose
no obstacles and to give the stockhold-
ers an entirely free hand in the matter.
This acquiescent attitude of the man
agement is believed to have been OBJ

EAGLE DEFlES GUNS
SWoops Among Marksmen to
Avenge Dead Mate.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26-Circling madly
around the life-saving station at the
rivers mouth for hours last night,
huge eagle screamed angrily at the
men who had shot and killed it's mate.
A dozen times IT braved the shotguns
Ieveled at it to swoop down as near
as 1t could to the body of the great
bird lying on the wharf, until at last,
baff1ed and desperate, it swept straight
upon the dock, and with beak and
talon attacked the marksmen.
Perched on the foremast of the Ruff
ton line steamer Langdon as it en-
tered the river a little before o'clock
last night was wild gray eagle, which
had alighted there when the ship was
still some miles off shore. Twice it
left its perch as the Langdon neared
the harbor, but each time returned.
Close astern Of the ship its mate fol-
lowed.
When the Langdon reached the
mouth of the river there was a rush for
guns among the crews of the waiting
tugboats. Thomas McGinn, mate of
ting Perfection, fired the shot which
brought the eagle tumbling to the
deck of the Langdon.
While bringing the dead bird ashore
McGinn was forced to fight off it's
mate, which swooped down upon him
repeatedly AGAIN anu again IL swept
down out of the darkness and fluttered
for moment just above the heads of
the men on the wharf. Half a dozen
guns were blazing at it by this time,
but 1t was moving too swiftly to hit.
For more than two hours it circled
around the station. Suddenly it dash
ed straight at the little group sur
rounding the body of its mate, clawed
and pecked at the nearest viciously
for q laIr
ward and was lost in the night.
The dead bird is a splendid speci-

nearly six feet from tip to tip. 1t will
be stuffed and hung in the Iife-saving
station.
