VESSEL BADLY DAMAGED.
Dynamite Exploded on River Steamer
at ST. Paul.

ST. Paul, March 31.-By the explo-
sion of a heavy charge of dynamite
placed in the cabin Of the steamer c.
w Cowles by unknown hands the
craft was damaged to the extent of
5000 and several other steamers
moored near al hand, as well as the
freight depot of the st. Paul road,
placed in danger of destruction by
fire
The explosion occurred shortly after
Captain Ge0r-e Winans, the owner of
the boat, ard four men who were EN-.
ployed in getting her ready to go into
commission had gone ashore. No one
was hurt
The dynamite had been placed in
the stateroom which Captain Winans
was having prepared for his own use.

attached When the charge went off

after port staterooms, reducing the
thin bulkheads to kindling wood, shat
tering their furniture and badly dam.

1t is believed the dynamiting of the

no more tenable theory to account for
the attempt to destroy 1t has so far

All Union Men on Gould Roads Pre-
pared to Go Out.

Denver, March 31.-Unless it is Off
cially announced at once that union
labor will be recognized in the shops
of the Denver and Rio Grande railway

men on the Denver and Rio Grande

Hills appointment. This has never
been thought Of 1t is true that
doubts subsequently arose as to
whether Mr.. Hill would feel himself
comfortable in the post of American
ambassador to Berlin, but these doubts
have been removed, SO that nothing
stands in the way of Mr.. Hills nomi-
nation to the Berlin embassy, and he
will be welcome in Berlin now, as he
would have been before, or as any
other unobjectionable representative
would be who should be named by
President Roosevelt.

bassador, Mr.. Tower, has not swerved
for one instant from the straight line

duct toward his own government and

PICKLING CONCERN CLOSES
Wisconsin Cucumber Product Dam.
aged by Fungus Growth.

Manitowoc, Wis, March 31.-Dis-
ease, which has appeared in the fields,
has forced a Manitowoc picking con-
Germ to close it's plant and abandon
its business and there is no chance
that the company can reopen for at
least five years, say experts of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton who have investigated condi-
tions. The cucumbers are affected by
a fungus growth which spots the prod
uct and makes it unmarketable, it is
claimed, and as result the business
is practically destroyed The trouble
was experienced last year and less
than 80 per cent Of the product grown
could be sold by the company. The
condition is said to result from at
mospheric conditions of the lake shore
district and has forced one of the
largest picking companies in the
country to close several of its growing
stations

TERMINATES LONG SLEEP
Volcano In Guatemala Suddenly Be-
comes Active.

San Francisco, March 31.-The
steamer Panama brought news of a
volcano in Guatemala, so long extinct
that its name has been forgotten, hav-
ing recently broken out. Its long sleep
terminated three weeks ago with such
terrifying mutterings and spouting of
lava and smoke that the people living
at San Fillipe. at the base of the
mountain, are fleeing for their lives.
Opposite the new volcano is Santa
Maria, volcano which during the last
200 years has wiped out town after
town.
The inhabitants of the district fear
a repetition of the Santa Maria catas
trophe and are therefore deserting
the mountainside. Already the coun-
try for miles is covered some inches
deep with dust and ashes from the
active mountains.

Washington, March 31-In the

charged United States Forester Pin

California, in the interest of the city
of Les Angeles against the holders of
prior water rights. While hs was
~peaking Mr. Pollard of Nebraska con-
suited Mr. Pinchot over the telephone
and when he returned to the chamber
said that MIR. Pinchot had told him
that all the members of the California
delegation, including Mr. Smith, had
requested him 10 create the reserva-

This statement Mr. Smith vehemently
denied, as did also Messrs, Kahn,
Knowland, Needham and Englebright.

trust MIR MondeI (Wyo.) sarcas-
tically said that that gentleman, "for
one who had so rarely attended a
meeting Of the committee on public
lands" seemed to be well versod on
the subject.
This remark notified Mr. Gaines con.
siderably. Shaking his finger at Mr..
Mondell Mr. Gaines declared that he
nevertheless closely followed the leg
islation the people were demanding

ACTION is POSTPONED.
Question of Quarantine Against Cuba
Discussed.

Washington, March 31-Secretary
Taft had a conference with the presi-
dent as to the putting into operation
of a quarantine against Cuba owing
to the alleged existence of yellow fe-
yer in that country. 1t was decided to
suspend for one week the putting into
effect of the quarantine pending an
opportunity for Governor Magoon to
pass upon the statement of the marine
hospital authorities that a quarantine
is necessary. Governor Magoon and
the business men of Cuba claim that
there is no reason why a quarantine
should be enforced at the beginning of
the yellow fever season, while the
authorities of the marine hospital
service, in a report just made to Sec
retary Corteiyou, insist that the quar-
antine ought to be rigidly enforced as
usual

CONFESSES HIS GUILT
Chester Gillette EIeCtrOcuted at
Auburn, N. Y, Prison.
RECONCILED TO HIS FATE
Showing the Faintest Sign of Emo
That He Admitted His Guilt.

Auburn, N. Y, March 31.-Unmoved
and without showing the faintest sign
of emotion of any kind Chester Gil
lette was put to death in Auburn
prison for the murder of Grace Brown,
his sweetheart. The electrocution
was the most successful that ever took
place in the local prison. But one
contact was required to carry the
mandates Of the law into effect and
when that was over the murderer of
Grace Brown had paid the penalty of
his crime.
Gillette made a confession to his
spiritual advisers, regarding which
they gave out the following state
ment:
Because our relationship with
Chester Gillette was privileged we do
not deem it wise to make a detailed
statement and simply wish to say that
no legal mistake was made in his
electrocution."
Leaves Message for Young Men.
Besides the confession Gillette had
word to say to the young men of the
world. This was in a communication
that was handed to Warden Benham
as follows:
In the shadow of the valley of
death 1t is my desire to do everything
that would remove any doubt as to my
having found Jesus Christ, the per.
sonal Saviour and unfailing friend
My one regret, at this time, is that
have not given Him the pre-eminence
in my life while / had the opportunity
to work for Him. If / could only say
some one thing that would draw young
men to Him | would deem it the great
est privilege ever granted me- But
all / can say now Is l know in whom
| have believed and am persuaded
that He is able to keep that which
have committed unto Him against that
day.
There is not one thing | have left
undone which will bar me from fac
ing my God, knowing that my sins are
forgiven, for | have been free and
frank in my talks with my spiritual
advisers and God knows where
stand.n

New Engiaad cotton mill operatives,
which was recently decided upon, be-
came effective Monday in mills en-
ploying 10000 persons. Next Monday

ty, are not included in the general re-
duction, but may be affected later on.

TEX RICHARD GETS
IN CONFLICT WITH
THE STATE POLICE

RAWH1DE, April 16.-Tex Rick
ard and George Moss were arrested
tonight for conducting gambling
games without a license. Arrests
were made by state police, and will
he test case, doubtless. Included
with Richard were his manager, w.
F. Saig; Brock and Billy Burke, the
latter poker dealers.
= Richard and Moss run two of the
biggest saloons. in camp. They pay
license for. three or. four games.
but have never paid for the privilege
of running poker games. When state
police demanded licenses their an
swer was that there was no license
for poker as far as they knew, and
they had never been called upon for
such license.
With Moss We're arrested George
Weeden, Swede Sam and two poker
dealers.
1t is said that the trouble started
by the proprietor of saloon who
had only a poker game running in
his place and Deputy Sheriff Cullen
demanded his license of 500. which
he at first refused to pay, but after
wards did pay. Then, by way of re-
prisal he notified the state police
of Richards games, and the police
made a demand on Tex. Tex imme-
diately wired to District Attorney
Swallow, and received the following:
state police have nothing to do with
license. Pay only what sheriff de-
mands. Show this to captain"
Captain is the sergeant who made
the demand on Richard. Evidently
the police here took up the matter
with headquarters, and We're in
structed as to how they should act.
The cases are set for trial here on
Thursday and will be dismissed, for
Assistant District Attorney Brady re-
ceived the following tonight from
