important witnesses summoned in behalf
of the state in the trial of William D.
Haywood, for alleged participation in the
assassination Of former Governor Steun-
enberg, arrived at Boise today. The pros

trial jury would have been impanelled, but
it is now evident that all twelve seats in
the jury box will not be satisfactorily
filled fer several days. When court ad-

SMALL FRUIT CROP.
Last Snowstorm Finished Things in
the Missouri Valley.

Kansas City, No. May 19.-At the meet
ing here last evening of the Missouri
Valley Horticultural society reports of
the members showed a consensus of Opin-
ion that there will be only a small per
cent of a normal fruit crop in the Mis-
souri, valley this year.
The last snow, which froze on the trees,
finished what had escaped the frosts, ac-
cording to the reports presented .Ap-
pies and peaches will be almost a COM
plete failure" said L. A. Goodman the
p1 esident. Even the late varieties will
be scarce and of poor quality. This sec
ond poisoning of the trees will not
cause them to bear. There Will be half a
crop of grapes. Pear. plum and other
small fruit trees give little evidence of
even a small yield"

ARMY OF CUBAN PACIFICATION RANKS
HIGH In THE RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT

guerrilla tactics. such as formerly en-
abled the Cubans indefinitely to prolong
their revolution against the overwhelm-
ing forces of Spain may be said to have
vanished.
The army of Cuban pacification, which
originally numbered $500 men, of all
arms. without including marines, has
now dwindled by the natural process of
discharges on expiration of enlistments,
10 about $500 men. There are also under
General Barry's command about 1000 ma
rines. These it was proposed to with
draw, but on account Of the difficulty of
obtaining recruits sufficient to fill up
the ranks of the army they will be re-
tanned in compliance with the request of
General Barry, who believes that his
force is none too large as it is. OF these
troops nearly 1000 quartered in Camp
Columbia form the garrison of Havana
and the remainder are scattered over
the island in thirty posts, eleven of
which are occupied by marines.

that there will be a retarding of the
progression of the last five years, for
which the country will be the worse off.
Some Heroes False Alarms.
Nations must have their heroes. Read
back into history and see where Caesar
was lauded by his people one day and
president has struck a keynote that has
met with ready response on the part of
the people. 1t is not always sane to be-
heve that the approval Of the masses is
assurance that the most good is to come
from the biggest number of people, for
the world often applauds a man and
later on discovers that what they ap-
proved has done them no good.

uation will be settled into even running
again, but not until after the pendulum
has had its swing a little the other way"

Alleged Dynamite Plot.

Police investigation today of the al
legged attempt to blow UP a Suffer
street car yesterday afternoon estab-
lished the following facts:
Shortly after O'Clock a newsbOy
boarded a Suffer street car at. the foot
of Market street and handed satchel
to the conductor.
The latter carried it forward and set
it down on the platform beside the mo-
torman. When examined at police
headquarters the satchel was found to
contain bomb loaded With black pow
der and filed with miners fuse. This
fuse had been run through a candle
stump. but the candle had not been
lighted. The belief of the. police is
that whoever loaded the satchei hoped
to discourage people from riding on the
cars and counted on the newspaper no
tOriety that would result from a dis
eorery of the internal machine.

Very Little Disturbance of the
Peace Although Arrests
Were Numerous.
ALLEGED DYNAMITE PLOT
PLACES OF ELECTRICIANS HAVE
BEEN FILLED.

San Francisco, May 19.-With the ex-
ception of the. fact claimed by the
United Railroads that seventeen Of it's
striking motornen and conductors were
taken back today on their own appli
cation, there is no change in the street
car strike The day passed without
any general rioting. South of Market
street there were numerous acts of
individual violence and the police made
forty or more arrests for breach of the
peace About half of the lines COM
posing the system were operated to-
day by the company's strike breakers.
The cars were fairly well patrOniZed.
Seventy-five additional strike breakers
are scheduled to arrive some time to
night.
Merely Rumor.
Word was received yesterday that q
union demonstrate against the COM
pany'S Geneva avenue car barns would
be made this evening and in anticipa-
ton an extra squad of police was on
hand. 1t did not materialize. In front
of the ferry building Police Captain
Conboy had on duty an extra number of
men, fearing demonstrations against
the cars, when the union picnickers
would return from across the bay.
Though large crowds collected at this
point there was no disturbance. The
cars were quietly igLCTed and the union
bus lines universally were patronized
by the returning holiday makers.
In the districts south of Market
street, some cars were stoned, but the
hospitals have no cases of injuries re-
