FARMERS FIGHT HUNTERS.
Kenosha County Rural Residents
Claim Sportsmen Are Abusive.

kenosha County Rural Residents
Claim Sportsmen Are Abusive.
Kenosha, Wis, Sept. 12.-"John
Doe" warrants have been issued here
for the arrest of six hunters who are
charged with threatening to kill
Owen Gibbons and George Mahoney,
farmers at Pleasant Prairie. The
men invaded the farms of Mahoney
and Gibbons and when told to leave
they became abusive. Finally the
two farmers attempted to drive the
men off the premises, when, it is a.
legged, the hunters placed the muzzles
of the guns against the two farmers
and forced them to walk to the house
Gibbons later came to Kenosha and
caused the warrants to be issued
1t is claimed that the men were
strangers. An organization among
the farmers may be formed which will
result in hunters being barred from
al farms in the county.

CHARGED RANK
DISCRIMINATION
CHARGES MADE IN A RAILROAD
HEARING.
FAvORS FOR COMPETITOR
OsceoIa Mill G. Elevator Company
Produces Testimony That 800"
Provided Ample Facilities for Con-
Germ Differed by Directors of the
Railroad.

A case Of alleged railroad discrlm
alton in favor of the company to the
damage of a competitor, in which the
favored company was Differed by di-
rectors of the discriminating railroad,
was brought to light yesterday by
Senator James A. Frear of Hudson,
republican nominee for secretary OF
state. It was during the progress OF
hearing of the Osceola Mill &
Elevator Co., against the 500 rail
road, in which hearing Senator Frea"
appeared for the complaining CON-
pany The original complaint was
made in an effort to get the railroad
company to allow additional shipping
facilities at Osceola, but the evidence
presented on the witness stand
showed that the road refused even to
allow the complaining company to
build a side track at it's own expense
and connect it with the railroad line.
1t was testified however, that the
railroad company supplied ample facil-
tiles for the competing company, the
Northern Supply company, which was
shown by Senator Frear to be off1c-
cred by directors Of the $500 road.
This discrimination caused the com
planning company to expend some
$4,000 a year for baggage, which the
competing company was not required
to expend by reason of the ample
facilities provided. Senator Frear
offered an amendment to his original
complaint, involving these newly de-
veloped features, but the railroad OBJ
jected, and it was decided that the
complaint could be amended but that
full notice of the amendment must be
served upon the defendant railroad.

PRESIDENT
ACTED A GOOD
DEMOCRAT

ST. Louis, Sept. ia tremendous
ovation was rendered William j.
Bryan by the 10000 people gathered
in the Coliseum last night when he
stepped upon the platform and took
his seat. With one accord the
audience arose, waved flags and
shouted until the strains of America
by the band were drowned out. The
ovation continued for four minutes
and was finally silenced by National
Democratic Committeeman William A
Rothwell, who started to make a
speech of introduction. The clamor
for Bryan, however, compelled Roth
well to cut his speech and he i'm
mediately presented Bryan, who
praised the president for settling the
big anthracite strike and the war be-
tween Russia and Japan. He de-
clared the strike settlement was in
accord with the democratic platform
and that he wrote that plank himself.
Where did Roosevelt find his man
date for his action regarding the rate
bill?" he asked, and answered: HE
had to go to the democratic platform.

arms and ammunition have been
studied and these supplies are in
readiness for use in case the army is
required to be put In motion.
1t is not expected that large force
would be used in case of intervention,
at least not for some time. All sup
ply departments Of the army have on
hand all that is necessary for any
force which may be deemed necessary
for first expedition.
Desperate Fighting Coming.
Havana, Sept. 12.-So far as the
war developments went, yesterday
was one of the quietest days since the
outbreak of the instruction. The
governors outright declaration that
the war should be prosecuted to a
finish was everywhere the sole topic
of conversation. That fighting OF q
far more desperate character will re-
suit as soon as the news shall have
spread throughout the provinces Is
not doubted in any quarter. Fear OF
attack by the insurgents on Havana
is spreading, and there are rumors
more or less authentic from all direc-
tons of new uprisings in various
quarters.
Yesterday afternoon The govern
ment forces in Havana paraded the
principal streets antd were greeted
with some enthusiasm. Particular
plans nave been prepared for the de-
Tense of the outskirts of the city, ma
chine guns being placed at adVant-
ageous and exposed points.
News that the United States is
sending a war ship to Cuba is excit-
ing great interest here. Some officials
were inclined to jump at the conclu-
sion that the United States was about
to take hand at enforcing peace, but
later the opinion became genral that
the act had not necessarily any larg-
er significance then would attach to
the sending of ships to South Ameri-
can republics under similar condi-
tons. There is a general belief, how
ever, that if marines are landed to
protect American property and per-
sons they will not be likely to be with
drawn until peace is thoroughly es-
tablished with a guarantee Of its coz
tinuance.
Members of the cabinet and other
government officials who were shown
the Associated Press dispatch de-
clared that they were not especially
concerned, as the administration had
nothing to fear from the United
States which had always shown Cuba
every friendship.
Editor Arrested.
Havana, Sept. 12.-The Liberal, a

man have been breaking telegraph ap-
/ paratus in railroad stations in Santa
Clara province. They also have seized

Defeated candidates are remarking
on the fact that in every case the can
didate whose name came first on the
ticket ran far ahead in the country.
The law provides that the candidates
be placed on the ticket in alphabetical
order. 1t seems sure that an amend
ment to this law will be proposed at
the next session of the legislature so
that some system more equitable will
be adopted. The Minnesota law pro
vides that one candidate shall have
his name appear first on as many ba-
lots as another candidate has his
name appear first, and the ballots
shall be shuff1ed SO as to evenly dis
tribute the advantage of having ones
name appear first.

T YES ON
THE WAR
Washington Keeping
Close Watch on
Rebellion
No Present Demand
or inclination for
Intervention
~
United States Would
Be Well Prepared
to Take Part

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE critical
tention of the administration to the
exclusion of all other foreign topics,
as indicated by the activity of the Of
icials of the state, navy and war de-
partments. The president at Oyster
Bay is keeping in close touch with
every development of the revolution
airy movement in Cuba and is in con-
slant communication by wire with
officials here, who, indeed, are even
in receipt of detailed instructions
from him as to what they shall do.
The prime object of the administra-
ton at present is to get all the facts.
Particularly is it desired to know the
precise strength of the revolutionary
sentiment in Cuba and the relative
powers of the government and the in
surgents there. Mr. Morgan, Amer
lean minister to Havana, is under
stood to be fastening from Europe,
where he has been on a vacation, to
the Cuban capital.
NO intervention OnlGSS-s
1t was said on highest authority
that there is to be no intervention by
the United States unless the rebellion
assumes the proportions of a general
confagration. 1t was farther state
that there had been no application
for intervention from any authorized
party, which statement answered an
inquiry as to whether any Of the for
eign governments whose citizens in
terests were suffering from depreda-
lions of the insurgents had called up
on the United States government to
step in and preserve peace.
Another interesting statement from
official voices was that careful inquiry
had satisfied the administration that
none of the American capitalists in
terested in Cuba had expressed a de-
sire for intervention On the con-
trary it was stated that these people
seemed adverse to any such action,
figuring that it would precipitate the
destruction of their properties during
the long guerilla warfare that might
be expected to follow the landing or
American troops in Cuba They real
lied that if they were paid for the
property so destroyed it might be a
matter of more years before any ad-
justment could be had, so they pre-
ferred peace under the present condi-

Cruiser Sent to Key West.

A development yesterday was the
admission that the American cruiser
Des Moines had gone to Key West
with the ultimate purpose of proceed
ing to Havana if developments within
the next two days seem to warrant
such action. There is no intention in
this movement of the Des Moines TO-
ward partially toward one side or
the other in the present conflict with
Cuba. The ship will be at Havana
to serve as an asylum in case of need
and Se at the disposition of the Amer
il charge 1t is not a formidable
craft. being only 3,100 tons displace-
ment and with a main battery of six
inch guns, but for the duty intended
will be quite as effective as battle
ship. If the navy is making ready in
other respects for contingencies in
Cuba. the fact is carefully concealed.
For its part, the army is prepared
to answer any CALL though there are
absolutely no orders yet from the
president or secretary of war. Indi-
vidual officers responsible for cam
paign work are merely making ready
for any emergency without specific
instructions.
Would Be Better Prepared.
In case the United States finds 1t
necessary to intervene in Cuban al
fairs. the forces which would have to
be used for that purpose will be
found in a much better state OF prepa-
ration than when hostilities began be-
tween the United States and Spain
The long military occupation of CUBA
by the United States troops afforded
opportunity to army officers to become
familiar with the island and probably
no portion of the earth is better
known to the military authorities OF
the United States than Cuba. In
addition to this all Of the supply de-
partments are better equipped and
the methods of delivering quartermas-
ters' supplies, commissary stores,
