managed to free herself and proceeded
up the harbor TO her dock.
The steamer had on board a large
number of passengers, among them

methods %ere pa. x practice today

Men who insisted on smoking in spite
of the guards order to the contrary,
received repayment of their fares with
a request that they leave the train. II

each train elected the offenders.
In the majority OF cases, cigars were
abandoned on the appearance OF the
detectives, but a dozen or more men
resisted to the last and were elected.
The matter probably will go the the
courts.
A small riot in which two men were
injured, followed the ejectment of one
passenger this afternoon. The trouble
started when an elderly well dressed
man entered the a at the Forty

Father O'Hara looked at the two pris-

He was the man whom Cuionss Sullivan

he could do no good, God a been
pleased to send him another way

"You can do nothing, father" O'Sul-

time, blessed man." He whispered q
few words in the priests ear.
The latter shuddered. God forgive

who need 1t most! God bless us from

Ivan Og replied.
Colonel John looked at the priest with

pulse beating in his cheek betray that
he was listening, watching. ready to
seize the least chance, that he might

FAIRBANKS URGED
FOR CHINA POST

Washington, Nov. ~6.-Senator Cullom
has suggested to Secretary Knox that
former Vice President Fairbanks be Of
fered the Chinese mission. The APP
-propriateness OF the appointment has
been universally approved by every one
to whom 1t has been suggested. and
Ii Is believed by close friends OF Mr..
Fairbanks that he would accept the
offer If the situation were made clear
to him.
The Chinese government feels morti-
fed and chagrined because that mis-
sion has been declined by several gem
tlemen to whom X has beer offered and
because of the Crane incident, and for
the same reason IL will be difficult to
obtain the proper sort of man for the
office under the circumstances.
Mr.. Fairbanks has recently spent a
month at Picking, where he was re-
ceived with unusual honors, the same
that would be conferred upon q royal
visitor. All reports from there agree
that he made a most favorable impress
sion upon the princes of the mandarins
with whom he came in contact. He be-
came deeply interested in the Chinese
situation, and has written to friends Z.
this country concerning the Importance
of participation by people of the United
States in the development OF the Chi
nese empire. He has also taken an
earnest part in the encouragement OF
the laymen's missionary movement now
in progress In this country, particularly
its bearings Upon the Chinese.
The communications the
friends of Mr.. Fairbanks and those
who are anxious for the proper repre-
sentation of this government at Picking
to believe that he would accept that
mission.

CLEVELAND TRACTION
ROW GETS into COURT
Injunction Granted Restraining
Court of 1000 Referen-
dunn Ballots.

Cleveland. o., Nov. 6.-An order was
issued by Judge Philips in common
pleas u today, restraining the board
Of elections from counting 1000 ballots
cast IN the subway referendum Tues
day, which were not marked by the
voters. Application for the injunction
was made by Charles f. Brush and
other taxpayers.
OF the votes marked, 35,15S were in
favor Of the ordinance granting a SUBJ
way and elevated railway franchise.
There were 3S,3S1 votes against the
grant.
The referendum law reads negatively,
saying that to defeat a grant the ma
3ority OF votes cast must be against the
proposition. If the 1000 unmarked
ballots are counted as votes cast, then
the 1881 opposing votes would lack 80
of a majority and the grant therefore
would carry.
