B0MBARDMENT AT AN END.
Nicaraguan Gunboats Cease Firing on
Anapaia.

Nlcaraguan GunboatS Cease Firing or
AmapaIa.
Washington, April 4.-President Bo
nilia of Honduras Is still surrounded
at Amapala, so far as the state de-
partment knows, but the bombardment
OF the town by Nicaraguan gunboats
has ceased, according to dispatches
received from Philip r. Brown, secre.
tary to the American legation to
Guatemala and Honduras.
The United States cruiser Chicago
and the gunboat Princeton are both
known to be lying near the island on
which Amapala is situated and the
presence of these two American war
ships is supposed to be largely re-
sponsible for the halt In the lombard
ment
Mr.. Browns dispatches do not state
whether President Bonilla has been
offered refuge on the American war
ship, neither do they state whether he
has taken any action In behalf of the
United States government to protect
the fugitive president.

Washington, April 4.-Mr. Corea,

state department and inquired as to
what authority Philip !. Brown, secrc-
tary OF thes American legation to
Guatemala AID Honduras. has for his
interference with the bombardment
of Amapala, Honduras, by the Mic
araguan forces. Mr. Corea's advices
from his home government show that
Mr.. Brown went to Amapala by the
courtesy Of the Nicaraguan officers
assuring them that he hoped to per-
suade President Bonilla of Honduras
to surrender, thus ending the bonn
bardment Of the city. The Nicaragu.
ans consented to cease firing for
twenty-four hours. Before that time
Mr. Brown went to La Union. Saliva

test on behalf of Salvador against the
renewal Of the bombardment OF Anna.

gard such action as declaration OF
war by Nicaragua against the Saliva

1t Is the desire of the Nicaraguan
government to learn by what right Mr..
Brown Is acting for Salvador. Such
interference on his rart Is radical
step and all Central American repub
lies are much interested in the out
come. State department officials have
refused to disclose what Mr. Brown 8

MAYOR DUNNE IS DEFEATED

Chicago, April 4.-The revised un-
Official returns of Tuesdays election
show that Busse, the Republican can
didate for mayor, has been elected by
plurality of 1906 over Dunno. The
entire Republican city ticket was
elected with the exception Of Edward
G. Young, the candidate for city treas
urer, who was beaten by John Z. Trea-
ger, Democrat, by 1888. The city
council will be Democratic by the
same number as the old council, thir-
ty-six Democrats to thirty-four Repub-
licans
The traction ordinances recently
passed by the city council over the
veto of Mayor Dunno and which pro-
vide for the immediate rehabilitation
OF the street car systems were carried
by a vote OF 16E,646 to 1872 .720. These
ordinances were favored by the Re
publicans and they declared In their
platform that the best interests OF the
city demanded their adoption. The
Democracy insisted upon municipal
ownership by purchase or condemna-
tion Of the street car properties. The
fear that the condemnation operation
might entail many years Of litigation.
during which time the city would be
compelled to put up with Its present
miserable transportation facilities,
was a strong factor In bringing out a
heavy vote In favor of the ordinances.
Az the matter now stands the street
car companies are compelled to pay
to the city 55 per cent OF their net
income. allowing the city at all times
access to their books. They are to
provide continuous passage from one
section OF the city to another tor a
fare OF cents and to grant universal
transfers. The city Is to allow them
a franchise for twenty years with the
option OF purchasing the systems for
$4,000, 900 at any time by giving no
tice six months In advance OF the date

In the dining room the pipes had all
been laid and Mcfarland was kneeIing

boards from the floor torn up, testing
the pipes for a leak. Without any pre-
monition whatever an explosion took
place, tearing a portion of the flooring
from its place. Flames accompanied the
explosion and communicated to the in
terror of the dining room. practically

rapidity 1t was impossible for members

damage to the one room. Considera BILE

STOLE THE MOTORS.
Union Pacific Block Signal Towers Are
Raidcd.

A new and undeveloped field that
seems to open a mine of rich possibili-
! ties for thieves has been discovered
The Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany has nearly completed the in
stallation of the automatic electric
block signalling system on the double
track between Topeka and Kansas
City, and each signalling device is
equipped and operated by an electric
motor worth about SS5 each These
devices are located about every two
miles on each of the two lines of
double track. making nearly 20 cleo
trio motors to equip the entire line
The idea Is to get as many of the
motors as possible
Two boys at Granville have succeed
ed in getting two of the motors. and
also in getting caught.
Each signalling device consists of a
semaphore tower with a castiron box
at the base to house the motor A
small lever protrudeS slightly above the
level of the track and as the engine
passes over this lever the semaphore
signal is automatically thrown up and
the semaphore at the signalling sta
tion last passed is simultaneously re-
leased. Thus an engineer who comes
upon a semaphore with hte signal
board at danger knows that there is
a train within two miles ahead of him
and that it has not passed the signal
ling device next ahead.

ORDER A. LUNCH.
Representatives Get Hungry This AZ
tCTnOOn.

Shortly before three o'clock today
the members of the deadlocked house
of representatives got hungry. They
accordingly order from the Cremerie
restaurant 800 sandwiches, so pies and
ten gallons of coffee.
There had been little change in the
situation. The vote stood AT for the
adoption of the conference report on
the primary bill and SO against.
Chalk Beeson with his fiddle start
ed to relieve the monotony and the
representatives sang in accompani-
ment.
The square dealers. led by Stone,
Stannard and Stubs, are standing pat
for the house bill and against the re-
port of the committee.
Mr.. Stubs said: Il intend to main
tain the stand 1 have taken until the
end. 1 am standing for the principle
and will go down to defeat rather than
vote for the adoption of the report of
this committee"
1t is a well-defined fight between the
square dealers and those opposed to
them in the state. The Democrats are
lined up with them and contend that
they will stick
