MAKING POLITICAL PEACE.
Foraker and Dick Reach Political
Comnromise.

Washington, March 24.-Surface
signs indicate a truce between the war
ring republican factions lin Ohio
and some politicians entertain
hope that the truce will be
followed soon by harmony. Sem
ator Dick entered the senate yesterday
and took the oath of office and yester-
day afternoon held several conferences
with Senator Foraker. The conferences
between these two leaders of the wings
OF the republican party in Ohio attract
ed the attention of all senators upon
the floor. Viewed from the gallery ev-
cry outward sign Indicated that Mr..
Dick and Mr.. Foraker are reaching an
understanding. They kept their heads
together in whispered conversation,
first one and then the other nodding
approval. Mr.. Dick was In his customs
ary mood and repeatedly laughed over
Mr.. Foraker's remarks. II is the under
sanding here that although Senator
Foraker VIII not control one-sixth of
the delegates in the state convention
that he will be selected as one of the
four delegates large from Ohio to
the Chicago convention, the other three
being Senator Dick, Governor Herrick
and Mr.. Cox of Cincinnati.
Mr. Dick RETAINED from assuming
his duties as senator until yesterday
out of respect to the memory of his
predecessor Mr.. Dick made his appear
arpce in the chamber soon after the
reading of the Journal but was unable
to occupy his seat because 1t was COM
pietely hidden by floral offerings. Mr..
Foraker announced Mr.. Dicks pres
ence and the two senators then walked
arm in arm down the center aisle to
the chair of Mr.. Frye, the present pro
tempore, who administered the oath.

ICE CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.
Pressure Of Great Floes in Lake Sup
erior Shakes Duluth,

Duluth, March 24.-Richard Brown
and other residents of Minnesota Point,
Duluth. report that of late they have
experienced earthquake shocks of a
pronounced tilaractel. Tho shocks
have been numerous and at certain In
tervals were severe. Brown says that
one of the tremblings OF the Point caus-
ed the porch to fall away from his
house. The stovepipe came down and
dishes ratified on the shelves. A mem
ber of the United States engineering
corps here attributes the phenomena to
pressure of the great field of ice in
Lake Superior. The wedge shaped
field. IL miles long, seventy miles wide
at the base and seven miles wide at the
head of the lake, is capable of exerting
an enormous pressure when the wind
is northeast The ise is too heavy to
break and buckle and the pressure is
direct.

FICTITIOUS, FALSE, uNFouhDED.
plug FIouts The Fantastic Fabrica-
tions Of the Enemy.

st. Petersburg. March 24.-Maior
General Plug telegraphs from Mukden
under todays date as follows:
There is absolutely no truth in the
report published in England to the eff
feet that the Japanese have crossed
Ta-Tung pass, or they have had en-
gagements with the Russians while
the statement that the way to Motieff
Pass, where a strong Russian detach-
ment is alleged to be stationed, is open
TO Japanese. is also pure invention.
Ho the same category belongs the re-
ports published in London from Jap
anese sources, of an engagement al
teged to have taken place at Port Ar
thur March 10. March 1S) and of an
encounter at chyongsyolm, Con the

Denver, March 24.-Martia1 law is In
operation today in two Colorado coun
ties-San Miguel and Las Animas. Re-
ports from both districts are to the
effect that conditions are quiet at pres
ent. At Telluride press censorship
is exercised and no news is sent out
except such as is approved by the mili-
tary authorities. At the capitol no
secret is made Of the fact that the
purpose in declaring martial law in
San Miguel county is to prevent the
return to Telluride of union men who,
expelled from camp by an organization
of armed business men, have ans
nounced their intention to go back un-
der the protection of the injunction
granted by District Judge Stephens.

after the duke. The Landes Zeitung
vouches for this story in such way
as to warrant the conclusion that i
emanated from the Brunswick minis
try. The paper has the following
further details from a well informed
source:
The duchess favored an alliance
with the imperial family and tried 10
win the dukes support therefor, but
without success. because deputatioa
from Hanover opposed a marriage with
the Prussian royal family.
According to other versions the
duke consented to the match, and werit
to Copenhagen to arrange the details
With Emperor William. but he finally
changed his mind before the latter's
arrival and then left Copenhagen with
out an explanation"

Koize, crossed the bridge to Franklin
Park before dark. The floor of the
bridge was then overtlowed. Returning
at II o'clock, the men had reached
the center of the inundated structure
when the horses became frightened and
in their mad plunging forced the buggy
thru the rail into the stream. Scott
sank Immediately. Brinkman had
difficulty in reaching the bank. Scott's
body was recovered yesterday morn
ing.
Two farmers almost lost their lives
in an attempt to cross bridge not far
from where Scott was drowned. The
team became unmanageable in the
swift water flowing over the bridge,
upset the occupants and plunged thru
the rail. The horses were drowned.
The men clung to the structure.

knocked the girl into the river from
the bank where she had been standing

plunged in after her, being an expert
swimmer. She finally brought the
child ashore.
