taneous Arrests Were Held Up

indianapolis, Ind, Feb l3.--Whether
arrests were to be made in the dynamite
conspiracy cases to-day was said at Dis
trict Attorney Miller's office to be still
uncertain. It was explained that GER
tain questions have arisen, and the gov
,ernment had no disposition to act hasti-
". If the questions were not satisfac-
,torily disposed of by noon, the plan for
simultaneous arrests would, it was said,
be postponed until tomorrow.
Many officers in one labor un-
ion and one officer in each of two other
unions are believed to be involved. 1t,
is understood that the defendants west
OF Salt Lake City, Utah, include only
those whase names already have been
mentioned in connection with the prose-
cutions or indictments found on the Pa
efc coast and that no individuals west
of Salt Lake City, not heretofore in
volved, are under indictment here.

points from which the federal authori-
ties expect to receive reports of arrests.

Europe,s Floral Capital.

The beauty of the immense bulb fields
of Holland when the flowers are in bloom
is described in THE MAGAZINE FLOW
ERS for February by Sarah Graham
Morrison. at was rare May morn
ing" says Miss Morrison, when the
train pulled into Haarlem, the floral cap
ital of Europe. 1t is picturesque city,
with its intersecting canals, its two riy-
ers running TO the Zuyder Zee, its dis
tant dunes, its tree-lined avenues, and
always the revolving wings of windmills
and skies of wondrous clouds; but it is
the whole country from Leyden to Haaf-
lem which is most attractive in May, for
this is the territory given up to the cul-
ture of tulips-hundreds of acres. For
three or four weeks every spring this
whole section is in radiant bloom, long,
narrow beds fairly burning with warmth,
paling the sun with their gold, rivallng
the linen fields in their whiteness.

CHARGE OF TWO JERSEYS.
Spilled Can of Milk and Battered Mail
Box to Pieces

Householders, pedestrians and little
children along Summer and Wellington
streets, each in turn, beat hasty re-
treat to shelter yesterday afternoon
when two fine Jersey cows came charg-
ing wildly up and down the thorough
fares and proceeded to start a reign of
mild terror in the neighborhood. The
animals were being driven from Plain
field by Charles Gordon, to the Smith
stock farm on the Williamstown road.
when the insane call TO charge came.
Veterinarians say that such fits seize
COW when she is driven for a long
distance in the road and it Is likely
that the Jerseys driven by Mr.. Gordon
were afflicted in like manner.
While racing along the road, one of
the cows collided with a team driven
by James Kelley and dumped the CON
tents of milk can into the road. The
other ruthlessly headed for a mail box
at the corner of Elm and Summer streets
and succeeded in badly damaging the
receptacle before driven away. Mr.. Cor
don was unable to devise any means for
handling his charges and it was only
with the help of several persons in the
vicinity that one of the cows was at
last coralled and securely tied in
cattle crate. The second of the Jerseys
managed TO successfully elude its pur-
suers and when last seen she was max
ing for the old familiar scenes in Plain
field. Later reports stated that she
had been lassoed by farmer near the
Lane farm and placed in barn.
The damage caused by the wild esca-
pade Of the errant cows is largely con-
Gred TO the battered mail box and the
spilled milk. The animals were pur-
chased for the Smith stock farm from
David Lane in Plainfield and when they
left the Lane stables the farm hands
say that each acted normally enough.

called Spanish swindle get-rieh-qu
game that has been worked the world

received letter purporting to come from
Alyaro Sanchez. uniustly imprisoned in
a Spanish Jail at Madrid. Sanchez writes
Mr.. McCabe that he is Russian banker
who was first apprehended in st. Peters
burg on charge of fraud. All OF his
portmanteaus were searched, but the
prisoner claims that while the official
eyes were fixed ON larger things, he
managed TO hide sum equal to S4S0,000

McCabe, the writer urges him to come
to Madrid and pay the expenses of the
court trial, which will inevitably end
in his release. After obtaining his free

lent of the letter 100000, or one-third

to secrecy. Accompanying the letter is
a clipping from continental paper, de-
scribing the incident leading up to San
CHEFS arrest and incidentally alluding to
the large sum missing in the search
through his baggage.
Such letters have very frequently been
exposed. but simply for the sake OF Civ

One of the Bitterest Defeats La Toilette
Ever Suffered,

Writing his autobiography in the Feb
ruary American Magazine, Senator La
Toilette tells of his long struggle against
the standpat Republican bosses of his
state. In 1896 he went to the state con-
sention with enough delegates to nom-
nate him for governor. Enough of these
delegates were bribed to cause his defeat
in the convention. The senator goes on
with his story as follows:
'The work of the bosses had been
coarse and rank. When it was over my
steadfast supporters came back in a
body to the headquarters. Wrought up
to high pitch they Indignantly de-
manded that stand as an Independent
fardidate, as a rebuke to the methods
Employed to defeat the will of the peo-
pie | shall never forget the excited
throng, their flushed faces, their bit
ter disappointment. One of them,
young fellow,--it was his first conven-
tion,--broke down and sobbed like
Shild / stood up and spoke to them;
they needed to know that the defeat
would not turn me back but drive me
pm with higher resolve.
"The outraged spirit of the group
quickly changed. The mood to destroy,
TO get quick redress, gave way, and they
faced to the front with courage to fight
pm. / said to them that the men who
Rin final victories are those who are
stimulated to better fighting by defeat;
that the people had not betrayed us, but
HAT they themselves had been betrayed
By those whom they had sent to serve
them in that convention; that the wrong
h. Af -
would be weak and cowardly to aban-
Hon the rank and file who believed as
we believed; that if anyone was forced
10 leave the Republican party it should
be the corrupt leaders; that the bosses
we're not the party; that the fault lay
with the system that permitted corrupt
agents to betray their principals; that
thc evil work of the night before had
forced me to do some hard thinking, and
that / was going home to find some
better way; that we would never COM
promise, never abandon the fight until
Ne had made government truly repre-
tentative of the people.
''Years afterwards, Stephenson, now
Eenator, who was then with the ma
thine and afterwards from 1900 TO 1905
! supporter of our movement, told me
that in conference with Sawyer and
Ihe Others after my defeat, he (Steph.
,nsonl said to them:
4 can't help feelin' a good deal of
Empathy for Bob La Toilette. We've
rot the newspapers, the organiza tion,
Ihe railroads, and free passes, and all
HE money, and he is ightin' us all
llone. If he'd a had money enough to
puy few more postage stamps, he'd
