MIL lWAUKEE ROAD TO ORGANIZE ITS
EXPRESS SERVICE AND TO DO AWAY
WITH MONOPOLY; FOLLOWS OTHERS

Chicago, April 23.- The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway com
pany. following the example of other
big railroads, is preparing to conduct
its own express business. The Con-
tinental Express company is being or
ganized by men within the railway
company, and it is said that the new
express concern will be ready for bus
mess within a few months
Edward S. Averill has been selected

is said that its present contract will
not be renewed. The reported pur-
pose of the st. Paul road is to apply
it's seIf-owned express service first to
the line that it is now extending to
the Pacific coast and finally to all its
lines. The coast extension of the st.
Paul runs from .Mowbridge, Mimi, to
Seattle, Wash, and the construction

Los Angeles, Cal, April 23.-The
fifth day of the stay of the battleship
feet at the ports of this city was
brought TO close with ball at the
Shriner's auditorium in honor of the
officers. More than 1900 couples took
part in the grand march, which was
led by Rear Admiral Charles M. Thorn
Gen. Chaffee, chairman of the officers

was the greatest social event in the
city's history
The ball was the last big public
function of the fleets stay. 1t brought
to conclusion day of leaden skies
and heavy showers, which caused a
Ipostponement of most of the outdoor
celebrations, including the boxing
bouts. the barbecues, and wild west
shows. More than 1900 blue jackets
and marines came ashore in the early
morning, and, while disappointed thai
the features of the day had to bt
abandoned, had a good time despite
the rain.

MYSTERY ABOUT
CONDITION OF
EX-PRESlDENT
Grover Cleveland Remains a.
Lakewood Hotel After. it
is Closed for Season.

Lakewood, N. j., April 23.-The fact
that Ex-President Grover Cleveland re-
mains at Lakewood hotel after the
hotel has been closed for the season,
while physicians are in close attend
ance, has caused apprehension that
Cleveland's progress toward recovery
from his recent attack of illness has
not been as rapid as desired. Watch
men are constantly ON guard about the
hotel. and information concerning the
condition of the former president is
difficult to obtain. Mrs. Cleveland
went to her home in Princeton yester-
day. but remained only a short time,
returning to Lakewood
AT II this morning it was learned
Cleveland was suffering from an at
tack of stomach trouble, and was not

Regarding the returning of the sa-

morally bound, though not before the

Delegates Legislative Power.
One of the principal objections was
that the law permits the legislature to
delegate legislative powers to the peo-
pie by permitting people in localities
to adopt the law. The supreme court
says that from the beginning to the
end the supreme court of this state
has held that to be legal

Upon this decree depended the eff

in So counties barring out saloons al

Springfield, III, April 2S.-(Argus
SpeciaD-As ~ esult of the Four
teenth congressional district caucus
preliminary to the democratic state
convention, two states were sent be
fore the committee on credentials of
the convention. In the first place, an
unusual incident developed which had
the effect of arousing suspicious on
the part of each side toward the other.
Mistake in Room.
The caucus was called at 10 O'Clock
in room l on the third floor of the
capitol building. 1t so happens that
there are two rooms on the floor, one
being attached to the senate chamber
and the other to the house of repre-
sentatives. So, due to this fact, the
delegations assembled in both rooms,
and while the misunderstanding was
soon perceived, it left some feeling.
G. A. Cooke Chairman.
When everybody finally got together
i'll the proper room the caucus was
organized with G. A. Cooke of Mercer
county as chairman and S. S. Halan
of Warren county as secretary There

to represent Mr.. Cable until his arrival,

The latter arrived this morning just
after the caucus and fully approved of

that he would sustain it in every re-
spect.
Mr.. Cable had not arrived from the
east at the time of the opening of the
convention, and it, is not therefore
known what will be his attitude in
