olllEr Is RESTORED.

Latest dispatches from Bisbee state
that the situation at Cananea is again
normal The American volunteers
who went across the line at NaOo
with Governor Ysabel of Sonora on
Saturday morning, returned to BIS
bee at o'clock Sunday morning.
Their services we're no longer need
ed. although their presence there dur
ing Saturday before the arrival Of
Colonel KosterlisHy with Mexican ru-
rales. held the situation in check.
The town is now under martial
law, and Colonel Kosterlisky is DIS
arning Americans and Mexicans
alike. A telephone message to the
Bisbee Review Sunday, says not
single shot has been fired since Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock Colonel
Kosterlisky and Governor Ysabel, as
sisted by General Torres, are all on
the ground, and Colonel Greene makes
the statement that the trouble is
over.
A conservative estimate of the num-
Der killed in the two days fighting is
thirty-fve Mexicans and six AmerI-
cans.
There has been no public excite
ment in Mexico City over the Cana
nea riot, although much concern was
shown by American residents lest
the trouble might spread through the
unwise action of the people of Can
anea.
There was some censure expressed
of Consul Galbraith for what appear
ed to be his one-sided attitude and
call for aid from his government.
That more Mexicans were killed and
wounded than were Americans re-
thought 10 show that the latter were
possibly the aggressors.

fORTY-ONE MEN DIE
Trouble Occurred at Cananea
Where the Greene Com
pany Have Large Cop
per SHELTERS.

A special from Naco, Ariz,, says:
7Thirty-hve Mexicans and six Ameri-
cans were killed Friday at Cananea,
Mexico, forty miles south Of Naco,
where is located the great copper
camps Of Colonel w. c, Greene.
The trouble arose over the demand
of the Mexicans for an increase in
wages from $3.50 to $500 per day.
Every effort was made to pacify
the excited Mexicans. However, be-
tween 4 and 5 o'clock Friday after
noon the Mexicans opened FIRE on
the Americans with the result as
stated.
There has been bad blood at Can
,anea for some time, and only month
ago the home of the superintendent
of the mine was dynamited by un-
known parties. Friday one Of the pc
licemen of the city was killed by an
American, who claimed it was a peg
sonal grievance he had for the Mex
lean. This started the outbreak.
Colonel w. G. Greene, president
of the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company, wires B, A. Packard, mana
ger Of his cattle ranch, that forty
one men had been killed. Ameri-
can Consul w. ]. Galbraith wired
the war department asking that
troops be sent from Fort Huachuca,
Ariz., to protect American citizens
and property

armed to the teeth left Bisbee Fri
day night for the seat Of trouble.

TILLMAN IS IN SORROW
Conferees on Rate Bill Make Few Char
ges--'*Jin Cow and Sleeping
Car Features Cot Out.

A Washington special says: In sad
ness and in sorrow Senator Tillman
has been compelled to abandon his
'jim crow" car amendment to the
rate bill The pressure upon the re-
publican conferees, brought through
the insistence of the northern negroes,
was too strong They forced Senator
Tillman to recede from his advocacy
Of that provision in order to insure
the incorporation into the bill of the
five days notice preliminary to
hearing upon application for tenn
porary injunction. This is one of the
most important features of the bill,
and by holding it as a club over Sen
ator Tillman's head, the republican
conferees were able to compel him
to abandon his fight for the southern
negroes.
AS agreed upon by the conferees,
the rate bill is a complete victory
for the senate. This was, however, to
be expected for the reason that the
many amendments put on by the SEN
ate strengthened the bill, and there
WAS no difficulty in inducing the house
conferees to agree to almost all
these.
One feature of the conference agree
ment is the striking out of sleeping
cars. This may bring a lively fight
in one or both houses. There are al
ready charges that this was accom-
plished through undue influence
brought upon Senators Elkins and
Cullon, and there is talk of some
sensational charges.

democratic convention in session at
Nashville. no other name being pre-

history of Tennessee, and after a
campaign made notable by the bit
terness and personal nature of the
contest between Mr.. Patterson and
Governor John I Cox, incumbent,
Judge John R. Bond was also an
aspirant.
There were contests in many coun-
ties, and not until the second day
was temporary organization perfected.
Thon the credentials committee I'M
dertook its herculean task, which it
only completed Friday morning, when
majority and minority reports Oh sew
eral Of the contested counties were
submitted. stubbornly the fight was
continued on the floor over adoption,
but gradually it became evident that
Patterson's strength was growing,a and
at length at 4:45 p. M, when adjourn
ment was taken to o'clock, it was
apparent to all that Cox was defeat
ed.
When the convention reassembled
at 3 o'clock, Friday night, Horace H.

stalled as permanent chairman, and
when nominations were called fer
only Patterson's name was presented.
He was nominated on viva voce

King Alfonso had an even more mi

it stopped a piece of steel which might
