FACTIONS FIGHT FIERcELY YoR
CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION - SOME STATE
MENTs ARE SAID TO BE VERY
FALSE.

The hottest battle in the ranks Of
Spokane democrats in many years is
on today. The Byrne and Hearst
people are on one side and the friends
OF Judge Turner on the other, though
Mr.. Turner himself says he is taking
no part in the fight.
Three days ago il looked as though
the primaries this evening might 90
by default. There is now, however,
every prospect for large turn out
OF the faithful, and hot fight all
along the line.
Statements have been published to-
day that are declared to be false, and
there are rumors and reports abroad
which are branded in the same way
One of the former is the report that
Judge Turner might bc forced to come
out for governor. This statement is
gwen out to influence people against
the Byrne forces. Mr.. Turner said
this morning; There is one thing
] will not do, and that is to be can
didate for governor.
Another statement, which Frank
Hogan brands as false, is that he has
withdrawn from the fight and will sup
port f. c. Robertson. Whether Mr..
Robertson's name will be presented TO
the convention tomorrow afternoon is
not known. A. +. Gil is for him. Mr..
Gill is not working in harmony with

IMPORTANT NEWS
Expected from Front by St. Petersburg
 in Three Days.

St. Petersburg, June S.-6:15 p. m.- One Of the most prominent officials of the war office told the correspondent of The Associated Press this afternoon that important news from the front was expected withi nthree days.
 The manager of the Baltic works has received message from the branch at Port Arthur which he says was sent by wireless telegraphy by way of Chefoo The message said that the work on the Russian battleship Pobieda, which had a hole thirty feet wide in her side, is proceeding satisfactorily.
 The question of wireless communica- tfon with Port Arthur promises to raise an interesting international question. There is no evidence that the Russian government has yet received wireless messages although it is suggested that Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's report to Viceroy Alexieff may have come by this medium. Some of the authorities who have been examining the question are inclined to hold that if a blockaded port communicates by wireless teleg- IdpHy Wltu d SllOIc SldllOll III ueulTHi territory it does not necessarily consti- ute a breach of neutrality any more than communication over an unsevered cable, the enemy having the remedy in one case of cutting the cable and in the other of stationing vessel rigged with wireless apparatus between the send ing and receiving stations, thus inter- fo1.i,,er r,;+I, oo,1,y1ai1 ria fi0y1
 The crews of the Baltic fleet have been completed.
 Eight thousand men and officers of the naval reserve were required to be taken from six provinces. The remain der of the naval reserves were not call ed out. Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral, inspected the ships at Libau and the emperor will visit them shortly.
 The portion of the first army corps stationed in the St. Petersburg district and recently called to the colors will leave Saturday for Novgorod, where the mobilization of the troops will occur. The corps is scheduled to leave for the front June 25.

B0Ys SAVE EXPRESS TRAIN.

PittsfeId-New York Train Narrowl,
 Escapes Disaster.
 Great Harrington, Mass, June S.-The wrecking of the Pittsfield- New York express, with the almost certainty of a great loss of life, was barely averted tonight by the presence of mind of Raymond Perbizet and Stephen McCue, two youths of this town.
 The train was Jagged by the boys at 7:30 o'clock, when it was within less than it's own length of a great wash out.
 An unusually severe rain storm to- day had undermined the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on the outskirts of the town, and carried away twenty-five, feet of the roadbed.
 The dangerous spot was discovered by the boys shortly before the express from Pittsfield for New York was due at this station. Realizing that an ac- cident was inevitable, unless the train could be stopped, the boys ran to their home near by and, procuring red-col- ored sweater, returned to the track and succeeded in attracting the attention of the engineer, who brought his locomo- tive to a standstill within a few yards of the washout. The train was well filled, most of the passengers being for New York.
 The wit of the boys was rewarded by purse of $17 made up by the passen- gers.
 A wrecking train arrived soon at the scene, and after delay of two hours the train proceeded. The express left Pittsfield at o'clock and was due at the station here at 445, but was about half an hour late. Had 1t been on time it would probably have been wrecked, as the boys did not discover the danger ous condition of the road until 5:25, five minutes before Engineer Thomas Byers saw the signal and brought his train to stop.
 The express, which carried about one hundred passengers, consisted of five cars, baggage car, two day coaches and two Pullman cars. It is due in New York at o'clock. The boys who saved the train are both thirteen years old.

FRESHMEN MAKE TROUBLE.
Police and Fire Departments Called Out
 During Celebration.

The Yale freshmen were out in force last night, and in the course of their Jubilation succeeded in calling out the fire department and the police. A bon fire on Temple street, near the bridge, was the occasion of a still alarm at 11:15 that brought the chemical to the scene. The firemen put out the blaze and the boys moved away. They marched to the center and filled Childs' restaurant so full that it was impossi- ble for the walters to move. The boys then roared for food and made a gen eral disturbance. Five policemen were called in and drove the men out. The entire crowd, including those who wait ed outside the restaurant, numbered 300, and the five policemen acted as shep- herds driving their flock back to the pleasant and safe pasture of the cam pus. The boys appeared very much scared and made no attempt to defy the police During the course of the evening they had marched about the city and had held a concert of their own about the bandstand on the green.

ORDERED ON STRIKE.
Five Thousand Marine Firemen Get
 Word to Go Out.

New York. June 8.-Five thousand lcoast marine fremen, members Of the
 Marine Firemens union in New York, have been ordered on strike by Daniel Sullivan, the general secretary of the national executive board of the Marine Firemen's council. The strike is ex- Ipected to extend to all the coast cities from Portland, Me, to Galveston, Tex According to the expectation of Secre- ttary Sullivan, about fifteen thousand men will be out on strike within the next two weeks.
 The firemen declare that their strike, |although called while the freight hand lers are out, is not sympathetic, neither lis it for increased wages or shorter hours, but to do away with what the members of the union consider their greatest grievance, the "crinnp" sys- tenn.
 Secretary Sullivan tonight gave out the following statement as to the fire mems grievances:
 The 'crimp is a fellow who goes to the high officials of coastwise lines and gives him money to control the shipping |of firemen. These 'crimps' make any, where from $4,000 to $5, 900 a year out of the poorly paid and hard worked fire men. This money is taken out of the wages of the fremen on every trip, and
 then the 'orimp' meets the head of the line and shares with him the blood money he has taken from the firemen.
 "A fireman cannot make a kick, for if he does he loses his job and he finds himself out of position and unable to secure another one, as the 'crinps' con- trol the shipping.
 Our organization has swept the 'crimps' out of existence in the ports of Boston, Philadelphia and Norfolk, and we are going to do the same thing here in New York
 We want the public to know that this 'crimp' system exists, that the shippers know of it, that the directors of these companies know of it, and that they are all in favor of the system"

FIELDING To BRIGASD.
Sultan of Morocco Granting Raisuli's
 Demands.

Tangier Morocco. June S.-The sul- tan's letter in reply to the diplomatic representations made in regard to the kidnapping of Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley arrived here this afternoon. It IS said by a person in the sultan's con- ndence that the sultan has given orders to grant all of the conditions demanded by Raisuli, the bandit leader, in order to expedite the release of the captives.
 Washington, June S.-The navy de- partment to-day received cable mes sage from Rear-Admiral Chadwick, at Tangier, to the effect that he had been informed that Perdicaris and his step son Varley are in need of medical as- sistance, and that the consul-general has sent to Rasuli to inquire whether a surgeon will be given safe conduct. The admiral says that if so one will be sent in company with the shereef of Wazan. Rasauli's reply is expected on June 9.
 The rumor which is agitating certain European newspapers to the effect that the United States government intends to possess itself permanently of a coal ing station on the Moroccan coast as an incident to the settlement of the Perdi- caris affair is regarded officially here as a jest; there never was. and is not now, the slightest intention on the part of this government of making any such demands. Moreover, 1t is stated that it is not contemplated by this government to seize even temporarily any Moroccan port and custom house in connection with the Perdicaris case.
 Washington, June 8.-The state de- pertinent has received unofficial assur- ances through MT. Gummere, who had 1t from the British consul at Fez, that the sultan of Morocco will accede to all Raisuli's terms. The bandits demand that Great Britain and the United States shall guarantee the execution of the sultan's promises, however, is the sticking point and probably can be got ten around only by the acceptance of this obligation by Great Britain or France or some other country not so strongly bound as the United States by it's traditions not to entangle itself in the internal affairs of other countries. It is stated positively that under no conditions can the United States gov ernment execute these guarantees.

Fourteen Captives-SpeeiaIT Train Takes Militia to the Scene-GeneraI Bell
 Takes a Hand-ROunds Up the Out
 Iaws-Diyides His Deputies and SoI- diers Into Seven Detachments.
 Victor, Col, June S.-A pitched battle
 between the militia and union miners was fought at Dunnville. the new min ing camp thirteen miles out of Victor,
 shortly after o'clock this afternoon.
 John Carley. union miner, was killed. The troops returned to Victor at 8 o'clock tonight, bringing with them fourteen captives.
 Before the special train left Victor bearing the force under General Bell it
 was reported that the miners in the hills about Dunnville numbered fifty men,
 and it was their intention to march into
 Victor tonight in body and attempt to liberate by force the inmates of the temporary bull pen" in Victor. That the force actually consisted of but twenty -one men is the statement of one of the fourteen men who were captured by the militia.
 The train proceeded to the immediate vicinity of Dunnville without unusual incident. When about a quarter of a Imile distant from the Dunnville tempo Irary station the officers could see the camp of the miners. It included one Icabin and six or seven tents. The off, lcers left the train at the command of General Bell and prepared to advance upon the camp of the unionists in reg ular skirmish order. As they emerged from the cut in which the train had come to a stop they were greeted with la volley of shots which came from points of vantage surrounding the hills. The deputies returned the fire and |promiscuous shooting was engaged in for a period of ten minutes. From the character of the shooting from the hills General Bell immediately recognized the fact that the strength of the miners had been greatly overestimated and that he had sufficient force under his command to make an immediate round up and capture the entire opposing force.
 Accordingly he divided the deputies land soldiers into seven attachments and they set out to make complete cleanup of the surrounding hills.
 The following were taken prisoners: Harry Boase, John James. G. Oldfield, H. W. Moore, all of Victor; H. Lang, Edward L. Skinner, Dick James. Roy ICavanaugh. John Duffy. Charles Hard. James Hard, Fred Keefe, A. D. Hemen- way, A. D. French, and G. Force, all of the Cripple Creek nation; Fred Wadd1e- ton of Anaconda; H. W. Shidler and W. Shidler.
 Subsequently Skinner, Waddleton and the two Shidlers were released.

 London, June 9.-The sudden inter- ruption of the cable between Korea and Japan is considered significant of the imminence of important operations at Port Arthur, the Japanese having taken precaution. as usual, to cut the only means of communication with the outside world and thus enable her naval and military forces to work with absolute secrecy.
 No attention is paid in London to ru- mors that the storming of the fortress has begun. because it is known that at the battle of Kin Chau General Oku had exhausted his ammunition and an insufficient period has elapsed during which the stores of ammunition could be renewed and siege guns brought into play.

 "The position of the Japanese in Kwan Tung is said to be precarious.
 There are rumors from the same sources that the Vladivostok squadron has effected junction with the Port Arthur fleet, that a naval battle took place and that the Japanese lost four large ships
 A dispatch to Reuters Telegram company from St. Petersburg an- nounces that telegram has been re- ceived from Mukden, dated to-day, saying:
