General chamorro Escaped From Tis.
ma With But Handful of His
Gallant Invading
Army.
800 WERE KILLED THERE
Madriz Saves Managua With the Aid
of Soldiers imported From
Honduras to Help
Him,

BLUEFIELDS, March g.. The move
ment of the provisional army against
Managua has been a total failure.
Strengthened by the 5000 Honduran
soldiers, the Madriz forces engaged
Chamorro near Tisma and he is be-
lieyed to have been routed. The Of
ficials here are again losing hope and
are talking of asking interference
from Washington.
Dispatches received early today say
that General Chamorro escaped from
Tisma, with but a handful of natives.
His entire army was literally cut to
pieces, 800 being killed outright while
hundreds were left wounded cn the
field without medical assistance.
It Is believed here that practically
the entire Estrada army was engaged
in the fighting at Tisma, and if this
is the case, Estrada has not enough
of his force left to carry on even guer-
lila warfare.
The bloodiest fighting occurred at
Tisma, when Chamorro was PERSONAL
ly in command. The provisional forces
were divided. They were endeavoring
to reach the main body of the army
when they were cut off and literally
cut to pieces.
| The outcome OF the fighting at Tis
ma will result in an appeal being
made to the administration at Wash
ington for aid. The Estrada forces are
]completeiy demoralized.

Col Theodore roosevelt made an un-
expected departure today and set out
for Lake No, to the north, for a final
elephant hunt Kermit accompanied
him and large force of native run

the lure.
From Lake No, the party will pro-
ceed direct to Khartoum, arriving
there March II. instead OF March Is,
as originally intended.
The colonel learned today of the
death at Gondokoro of his friend, DR..
Trosch, who fell victim of the ART
can fever, and was greatly shocked
When told there was alarm among his
friends in America for fear that he,
too, might have contracted the dis.
ease, Roosevelt declared the apprehen.
sion groundless.

strenuous efforts to reach Wellington
from both sides of the mountain range
relief trains have been dispatched
from here with supplies and a wreck

to clear the line. The road is blocked

Rapid Transit Company Determined to
Smash the carmens Union
or go Broke in the
Attempt.

Philadelphia Will Sure be Sleeping
City on Saturday When
All Industry
Ceases.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March a.
The directors of the Rapid Transit
Company have determined to smash
the Garments Union if they have to
fight the whole city of Philadelphia
and throw their company into the
hands OF a receiver in doing it. All
pretense of concilliation has been
thrown aside.
On the other hand, the 124 unions
that have pledged themselves to
strike in sympathy with the carmen
next Saturday, are riassing their
forces for battle, which will make
Or break labor unionism in Philadel-
phia. Union men that have been on
the most friendly terms with their en-
ployers notified them last night. that,
although they wero sorry, they would
have to quit work when the strike
gong sounds.
Just how many men will quit work
on Saturday is to be guessed. John
]. Murphy, president of the Central
Labor Union, places the number at
100000. A conso. vative estimate
puts the number at $4,000.
The success of the company in rein
stituting service to large degree is
expected to be an irritant when the
general strike comes.
The business men have come to the
conclusion that it is useless to appeal
| to the Rapid Transit directors. Their
main hope is that councils may in.

others expect to be able to run on

will be dark. Managers were notified
by representatives of the Theatre
Mechanics Association that a walk

OF course, there are countless fac
tories that are not at the mercy OF

unions have been busy n~oselyting all

that their missionary work has beer

cummlns and cIapp File Their Report
Which Takes a Slap at the
Administration
Bill.
GIVES THE REASONS
Two Western Senators Tell Why They
Are Not For the Interstate
Commerce Meas
tire

WASHINGTON, March "a broad
side against the administration inter-
state commerce bill as reported from
the committee on interstate commerce
was fired today by Senator Cummins
of Iowa and Clapp of Minnesota in a
minority report. The two western
senators condemn the measure un-
sparingly, contending that it creates
useless court, reduces the authority
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion and fails to properly regulate the
railroads or protect the public.
The plan proposed by these two sec
tions of the bill that were supposed to
abolish the evil, is declared by the
minority report of Senator Cummins
to be ineffective for these among other
reasons.
First.--It is confined to railroad cor
porations, whereas it ought to include
all corporations, common carriers sub
ject to the act.
Second.-There is nothing TO pre-
vent holding corporation from issu-
ing all the stocks and bonds that it
pleases.
Third, privileges extended in
reorganization and consolidation have
practically no limit
Fourth.--There is t,n regulations
concerning the capitalization and the
increasing value of increasing proper
ty. or of earnings that have been ex
pended.
Fifth.-It is expressly provided that
although every provision of the law be
violated in the issuance of the stocks
and bonds, they shall nevertheless be
valid in the hands of innocent purciias'
ers.

In regard to fathers history, in
looking at the Wyandot county atlas
/ see that father was born in Mer-
Ger county, Penn, and was moved
to Wyandot county, Ohio, - when
about ID years of age, that was in
1885 and the neighbors were Indians
ana wolves. The nearest white settle
ment was west of Carey II miles
away. There were only twelve white
men in all that part Of Ohio and they
were far apart There were no roads
then, for grandfather, John B. Mann,
fathers father, had to cut his own
road through the big woods. There is
an account of it in the history
Father was like his own father, a
natural genius. The history SAYS
John -. Mann could turn his hand to
anything. Father had a country school
education, being in advance of the
public school of today. Those early
people had to pay their tuition We
we'll remember when we were only
7 or 8 years old, of hearing father
debate. Debates were the go In my
early days and father was considered
a good debater. He did not happen
to be a walking dictionary, but he did
Happen to be an original thinker and
could think of the things to tell that
nearly always won the debate. He
was absolutely honest and never
sought to speculate Oy unfair means.
His money came hard for their was
NO easy way in his day to make money
and it generally went easy, owing to
his benevolence and open heartedness.
He never was stingy or close and MS
generosity and indulgence was again
and again taken advantage of by I'M
prfncipled men.
Father was whig of the old true
party that formed the great republ1-
can party and he became q staunch
republican and voted the first repub.
lican ticket ever offered him and he
never changed his skin. He was too
true blue to be turncoat. He en-
war closed before he had time to get
into service, hence he could not get
pension in the time of the rebellion.
It was impossible for him to leave hiu
large family under the circumstances,
he was then placed, and he was ex-
cilsable, but he allowed me to go and
I am glad he did.
Father never paid much attention to
seeking after office, although he was
