at Chemulpo, landed 10000 troops.
Communication by wireless telegraphy
has been established with Chemulpo

at Port Arthur. There Is no news OF
the enemy's fleet and no confirmation
of the reported appearance of the Jap

UNION LEADERS ASSAULTED
ON THE ROAD NEAR TRINIDAD

manded us TO throw up our hands. The
order was promptly complied with, we
thinking it was an ordinary hold-u2.
They then ordered us to get out Of the
buggy. an order that l succeeded in
obeying. but before Mr.. Mooney couli
do SO he was struck over the head with
revolver and knocked to the ground.
They permitted me to get out of the
buggy, but as soon as l reached the
ground several of the men struck me
over the head with their guns. At least
four men attacked me, some striking
me with their revolvers and others
with their fists. Several shots were
fired. but none of them struck us.
THE men made us promise that we
would not go on to Trinidad. but re-
turn to Tobasco. We started back as
fast as we could. leaving our horse and
buggy, when we were compelled to
stop from exhaustion.
"Mr. Mooney was forced to lie down
on the ground. A man and woman in
a wagon came along and took us back
to Bowen, where we were accorded the
most kindly treatment, which will not
soon be forgotten. Our wounds were
dressed and we telephoned to Sheriff
Clark at Trinidad asking for protec-
tion. This was promptly furnished and
we were able to reach Trinidad on the
evening train without further trouble.
The men were beaten with revolvers
and stones. They seem to think guards
at the coal mines may have committed
the assault This is the first time any
of the unions representatives have
been assaulted.

What the Canal VIII Do.

The northeastern section of the Unit
ca States has already become a great
manufacturing region. A larger outlet
for It's textile and iron and steel pro
ducts and for the many other manuiac-
lures now being exported, and the abil-
ity to secure the foods, chemicals, ores.
fiuers and woods obtainable only from
Pacific countries, are yearly becoming
more imperative. We all realize in
vague way that American manufac-
lures are lCing exchanged for foreign
goods i'll many parts of the Pacific, but
We do not readily comprehend the
magnitude of these exchanges When

sends over half a million dollars worth
of machinery annually to the Hawaiian

Central City Railroad Project.

Denver. Feb. 14.-A Central City
special to the Republican says: Local
parties are becoming interested in
scheme for building railroad between
this city and South Boulder creek TO
connect with the Moffat road at Pacto-
lus, which is situated at the mouth OF
South Beaver creek about two miles
east of Rollinsville. A preliminary
survey has been made and 1t is
claimed that three per cent. grace
can be secured and the new line would
be about eighteen miles in length, run,
ning by way of Dory hill and Missouri
lake and entering this city from me
west. The road would be built on the
broad-guage plan, and it is ciaimeu
that connections could be made so that
passengers could reach Denver in lt-
tie over two hours.
The parties behind the enterprise
claim that they can float the BONDS III
u East and expect to start grazing
about the first of May. with the inten-
ton of having the road completed De-
fore the end of the year.

Denver, Feb. ia Republican spe-
cial from Trinidad last night says:
An incident in the strike situation that
caused considerable excitement in Trim
idad this evening was an assault on
w. r. Farley, who came to Trinidad
recently to take charge of the strike
in the interests of the national board
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, and James Mooney. one of the
national organizers. who has been here
since the strike was inaugurated in No
vember last.
Eight men, all wearing black masks
over their faces, committed the assault,
but who they were and the motive for
the act is matter of conjecture.
Messrs. Farley and Mooney were both
badly beaten over the head and body
the injuries of the latter being the
most severe. Attending physicians do
not believe that serious results will
follow. Both are now at the Coronado
hotel. The Republican correspondent
called on Mr.. Farley in his room last
night and obtained from him the fol-
lowing statement regarding the affair:
Mr.. Mooney and myself, about four
o'clock this afternoon. were coming
to Trinidad in a buggy from Tobasco,
where we went this morning to visit
the camp and commissary that is being
maintained there by the Miners Union.
We were on the county road about
three miles this side of Bowen, when
eight men with black masks over their
faces stopped Mr. Mooney and myself.

nOFFAT ROAD WINS
GORE CANON SUIT

Denver, Feb. 14.-By a dgision rem
dered by the Department of the lnteri-
or of the United States. government
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad, better known as the Moffat
Short Line, has won complete victory
over the New Century Light and Power
Company and is given right of way
through Gore canon. The decision OF
the department was announced In a
telegram received by c. j. Hughes, Jr..
counsel for the road. yesterday. from
C. C. Clements, the company's wash
ington lawyer.
The New Century Light and Power
Company desired to build large dam
completely blocking the canon and con-
yerting it into an impossible body OF
water, This would have necessitated
the surveying of new route by the en-
gineers of the road
The power company is granted It's
contention that it had the right to lay
pipe lines through the canon. but 1t Is
denied the right to block the canon in
any way. Attorney Hughes said that
the road never in any manner tried TO
prevent the laying of pipe lines and
says that the company is willing to
give its adversaries any possible privi-
lege that would serve to advance their
interest without interfering with the
building of the railroad.
Now that this difficulty has been
removed" said Attorney Hughes,
work on the road at this point will be
pushed with the utmost rapidity. We
have already done some work in the
canon, having been in possession OF 1t
from the first, and we were quite sure
that we were right in our contention.
We did not desire to lay our track.
however. until we were assured that
we had the right. Now the work Will

SAN DOMINGO.

Is San Domingo likely to get us into
trouble with some one of the Euro
pean Powers? According to a dispatch
from San Juan, Porto Rico, there is
a probability she will. Her present
condition is one of anarchy and blood
she'd Neither life nor property is safe
there, and it is said that the natives
are particularly vicious in destroying
American property. This is because
Americans are dlsliked or there is a
party there that hopes to make the
situation so unpleas SAINT for this coun-
try that it will annex San Domingo.
According to the San Juan story,
Germany Is trying to get a claim on
San Domingo. 1t seems that that re-
public owes Spain $21,OOO.0OO, and this
debt Germany is offering to buy. OF
course, she doesn't expect to pay the
face value of 1t. Perhaps she hopes
to get it for a fraction of that value.
After the war of independence San Do
mingo admitted it's indebtedness to
Spain in the foregoing amount.
II it be true that Germany is try
ing TO become the owner OF TINS ueDl,
what is her purpose? Is it the annex
alton OF the republic? And il that is
her plan wouldn't she be acting in
hostility to the Monroe doctrine IL she
were to carry it out? She certainly
would, and any such action on her
part would call for interference on our
part, provided we insisted upon main
tanning that doctrine.
1t does look, however, as II some
thing ought TO be done towards bring
ing the troubles OF the republic to an
end. One revolution succeeds another
quickly and the country is going back
to barbarism. II Germany should ac-
quire SPANS debt she would have a
much larger claim against the repub-
lie than this country has. which Is
about s4.OOO,OOO, and II Is said that Ger
many's trade with the republic Is
larger than that OF this country While
there IL nothing dehnite about this
story from San Juan II wouldn't be
surprising II Germany were con1em-
plating some action IN regard 10 San

apd occupied by the driver and lady,

a gorgeous hat trimmed with purple
plumes. a boa of white fur, muff of
the same material, all beautifully set
off by a magnificent tiger skin rug.
The driver drove in and out of the cars
and vehicles with. the carelessness of
man who can afford to run risks.
Motormen particularly resented his
lodging.

There! I never did take much stock

The automobile had gone on strike
even as he spoke.
J. H. S.-for the driver talked like
an owner-got out with his bundle of
wrenches and did the customary crawl
under the machine. The traffic at Duane
street and Broadway began to pile up.
Also a crowd, while the purple plumes
cuddled down under the tiger skin and
criticised the intelligence of j. H. S.
Jackie, dear" said she, there's a
dreadful crowd gathering. Do hurry up.
Can't you find out what's the matter?
Perhaps the what-d'ye-call-it's loose.
No? Well, it must be that other thing
that's always going wrong"
Jackie, DEAR did his best, but he
was embarrassed by the grinning
crowd. A sympathetic policeman tried
to help, but all he knew about them

lips needed it.

long silence, II knew all the time

myself"
She got out, and at the first glance
at the automobiles interior economy
she exclaimed:
There, Jackie, dear, you're a good
boy; but you oughtn't to wear goggles
when you're looking for breakes. L
told you it was the tweedle thing. It's
loose. Screw it up"
Jackie did so.

as they moved off.
