Dominican Rebels Said They MIstOok Her
for q GunbOat.

The Clyde Line steamer New York ar
rived here yesterday from Dominican
ports, at one of which, Samana, the steamer
was fired upon by the insurgents. The
New York touched at all the other ports of
the island without being molested, although
at the capital, Santo Domingo, she was
exposed to the firing between the Govern
ment and insurgent forces.
lhe New York was entering the bay Of
Samana at o'clock in the morning on
Nov IL, when shot was fired close to the
snip from the insurgent fort. Capt. Mar
mion of the New York told this about II
yesterday:
we were entering the west channel
about o'clock in the morning, and | was
standing on the bridge, when | heard a
report, and shell whstled over my head.
Inc channel is very narrow and the shore
rises INTO high bluff | never knew that
DUN to be fortified before in all my ex-
perience with Dominican revolution
but learned later that the insurgents had
two guns up there.
1T was impossible for them TO hit us.
because they were SO far above. They
might have blown off the top of the smoke
stack, nothing more. ! pretended that
mad understood the shot for salute, and
ordered the quartermaster to blow three
whistles. Then we went in as fast as we
could. because the channel was too narrow
to turn around"
When Capt, Marmion arrived at Samana,
and later at Sanchez. he filed protest
with the insurgent Government He was
told that his steamer had been mist AIKEN
for one OF the Dominican gunboats.

JACkIES had 4 LIVELY TINE.
Four Went Overheard From Navy Tug and
Sobered Up In the Cold water.

Thirty-fve jackies and naval officer
in uniform arrived in Jersey City at S;45
o'clock yesterday on a Pennsylvania Rail
road train from Philadelphia. Tie sailors
had evidently been having a good time
somewhere. for a number of them could
not walk a chalk line to save their necks.
They rolled their rollcking way through
the ferryhouse to the pier of the Adams
Express Company, az the north end Of the
station. where n Government tug was wait
ing to transport them to the Brooklyn
navy yard.
The advance guard rushed aboard the
boat and the others followed. A minute
or two later there were two splashes, ard
two jackies who fell or were pushed over
board sobered up suddenly in the cold
water
Two other sailors jumped in after them,
and then all hands on the boat crowded
along the rail and offered suggest ions and
helping hands Ropes and boat hooks were
brought into play and the four dronche and
shivering !jackies were pulled aboard.
The tug started for the navy yard as
soon as the rescues were effected 1t was
believed by several ferry hands who wit
messed the embarkat ion that the trip would
be lively.

Crozier, Chief of Ordnance, who had tele-
grams sent TO Rock Island Arsenal, Rock

without any delay. No ammunition was
asked for. and ii is presumed that the Colo
RADIO National Guard has on hand all the
ammunition that is needed.

overcoats, shoes and other equipment for
1 900 men, and by order of Gen. Humphrey,
Quartermaster-G General, shipment of this
material will be made tonight from the

port upon the necessity Of having Federal

pected to inform the Department as sCou
as possible of the extent Of the dis'prh-
ance and The ability of the Governor OF

ELEVATED PLATFORM AFIRE.
Several Passengers, Badly scared. Take
Refuge in q Train.


Another fire scare startled the passengers
on a Fifth avenue elevated train at the
Ninth street station in Brooklyn yesterday
afternoon rush for the stairs and a
possible panic was averted only through
the cool headed action of Patrolmsn
Fitzgerald Of the Coney Island station, who
assured the people that there was no danger.
The fire was caused by defective insula-
ton on the feed wires running under the
station platform and building. A train
from Bay Ridge was drawing into the
station and a score OF women were standing
on the platform waiting to get aboard.
The flames shot up all around the waiting
passengers, who made rush for the exit.
There they found more flames and escape
was apparently cut of. Policeman Fitz-
gerald re;,ssured the women by pointing
out that they could board the train,
which had stopped at the end of the plat
form, and they did so.
An alarm was turned in and the firemen
quickly extinguished the flames.

GRAN FOR REAL MONEY.
Cent Falls on the Curb In the Greene Copper
Crowd.

These are dull and Improbable days on
the Broad street curb market, and the sight
of real money is luxury not often enjoyed

therefore, that when somebody dropped a
cent in the Greene Consolidated Copper
crowd yesterday afternoon there was a
wild and excited scramble for it. The sue
cessful grab was made by broker whose

ders 10 Prevent Intin,Idat tion--Sit,is-
tion Also Serious In Colorado.
SALT LAKE, Utah. Nov. 24.-The situation
in the strike centres of the Carbon county
coal fields became so critical to-day that the
entire State militia was rushed to the scene
OF the trouble on special trains. Reports
OF violence on the part of the strikers are
coming In hourly, and serious trouble ia
feared when the troops attempt to restore
order. From statements made to Gov.
Wells it appears that fully one-haR Of ~
miners are desirous Of continuing work,
but have been compelled to quit on ao-
count Of assaults and threats Of death.
Several hundred Italian strikers paraded
the streets Of Castle Gate to-day. bearing
an American flag upside down as, q sign
OF their contempt. Many red flags were
waved by Italians.
The strike in Utah was ordered by John
Mitchell, in sympathy with the Colorado
strike. The miners demand recognition
of the union, which the operators declare
they will never grant. Every mine in the
State is virtually closed, because 1 900 union
men are keeping / 1000 non-union men from
working.
Gen. Cannon, who commands the State
troops, said tonight: @We are not to be
jeered at or sneered at, and anything that
savors Of intimidation or disorder is to be
checked without delay, II it takes all the
military force Of the State to do it,
Gov. Wells. in calling out the militia,
said: 1T was step was extremely losth
to take, and only decided to do so after
full investigation. There is no question
but the facts fully warrant it. Large num-
bers Of the coal miners are satisfied with
their wages and their hours and all their
surroundings. They have no grievance
against their employers, and all they ask
is to be let alone. The striking coal miners,
led by SO called organizers, won't let them
alone.
"The Sheriff Of the county has reported
to me that he is unable to cope with the
situation and is powerless to maintain
peace and protect life and property
"As long as I am Governor shall resist
the tyrannical and unlawful interference
Of individuals or unions with the peaceful
pursuits of the citizens OF this State"

THE AMERICAN CASE.

The treaty relating to the Alaskan
boundary dispute provides that it shall
be submitted to a commission Of six
~jurists, three appointed by the United
States and three by Great Britain.
According to reports from Washington
the agreement is recognized as n of
Secretary Hays most notable diplo-
matte triumphs. According to the cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
it is particularly gratifying to the Off
cial world at the national capital, since
it is identical with the proposition sub
mitted by the secretary of state in 1899
and rejected by the British members
Of the joint high commission appointed
to settle all outstanding differences be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
1t is evident, however, that there is
some dissatisfaction with the treaty, a
resolution having been introduced in
the house of representatives by Mr..
Jones of the state of Washington de-
claring that the United States should
entertain no proposition looking to a
new Interpretation of the treaty of 1928
between Russia and Great Britain fix
ing the Alaskan boundary line, and
that the officials Of this government
should notify Great Britain that it
will absolutely refuse to entertain or
consider any other Interpretation of
said treaty than that accepted by all
parties for more than fifty years, and
that the United States proposes and is
prepared to maintain its rights under
the Interpretation until after the dis
covery of gold in the KlOndike." 1t will
doubtless be found that this resolution
reflects the general feeling on the Pa
cific coast, so that a vigorous opposition
to the agreement may be expected from
that quarter. 1t is said to be the
understanding that the treaty was
drawn up after a thorough consultation
with the leading members of the senate
Of both parties and that an effort will
be made to secure ratification before
the end of the present session. 1t Is
not probable, however, that this can be
done, particularly If there should be a
stout opposition on the part Of Pacific
coast senator's.
The American case rests wholly on the
express delimitation Of the boundary
given in the treaty of 1925 between
Russia and Great BritaiS and upon THU
our government has firmly insisted
This treaty was u%ndisputed for half
century, or until the discovery of .goll
and the increased wealth of Alaski
gave the Canadians an incentive t
claim territory that was in American
possession, under an Interpretation O
the treaty between Russia and Grea
Britain that had never before beer
thought of. There are abundant fact
showing the ~speciousness of the Cana
dian pOsitiOn.

ENLmgTrYIye TgE PEOPLE.

In his letter to the Omaha Real Estate
exchange John y. Baldwin calls atten-
ton to the fact that the railroad com
panies Of Nebraska have within the
past year spent a great deal of money
to enlighten the people Of this state as
to railroad taxation and tax reform.
This voluntary contribution on the part
Of the railroads to the sum Of human
knowledge is said to have aggregated
$4,000, which If properly distributed
to take the place of the distribution Of
railway valuations which railroad as
sessing boards have been presumed to
make, but have never made.
According to Mr.. Baldwin, who is
doubtless well Informed on this point, a
very large block Of the railroad educa-
tional campaign fund was apportioned
among more than $50 country news
papers and n few thousand dollars ex-
pended for bulletins, circulars and per-
suaders. The unaccounted-for balance
is said to have beer put out for carry
ing primaries and paying the campaign
assessments for candidates in the Sec
ond congressional district.
With so much light diffused at the
expense Of the railroads for the infOr-
nation Of the people, every member of
the Legislature should be convinced that
it would be a great injustice to make
the railroads of Nebraska pay any more
taxes han they have been paying in
the past or are willing to pay in the
future. Such a purse would compel
them to dispense with the services Of
Mr.. Baldwin's retinue of ready writer's
and legislative persuaders, besides put
ting their auditors and accountants to a
great deal Of trouble to cover up the
expenses of the oil-room department
and subsidies distributed to influential
or handy men of all parties along their
lines.
