f REPLIES TO CRITICISM. Caskey's Promotion. ‘Washington, May some criticism which 10.—Answering followed the designation of Brigadier General Will- | fam 8. McCaskey to be major general, which promotion was made over the head of Brigadier General Frederick Funston, the senfor brigadier general, the following statement was Issued at the war department. ! “Concerning the recent promotion of General McCaskey, notwithstanding the seniority of General Funston, Gen- eral Bell, the chief of staff, said at the war department that prior to Gen- eral McCaskey's promotion he had personally received a letter from Gen- | eral Funston in which he stated that he had no objection to General Mc- Caskey’s promotion ahead of himself, because of General McCaskey's char- acter as a soldier and his Civil war record and that he would gladly have made this statement officially were it not for the fact that this would be as- suming that the war department in- tended to promote him because he was the senior brigadier general, an as- sumption he did not care to make; but he desired the chief of staff to Kknow his true sentiments on the sub- ject and for that reason wrote per- sonally about the matter.” DOG GUARDING THE BODY. g Remains of Missing Minneapolis Man Found on River Bank. Minneapolis, May 10.—With his faithful dog standing guard over it the body of Frank Kablec was found on the river bank near the west end of the Belt line bridge. The man had been missing since Sunday, when he went hunting, saying he would seek game in the Minnehaha valley. The dog had scratched leaves and covered the face of his master and was standing over it when the corpse was discovered. It is not known how Kablec met his death. s A Fighting “Super.” The following little gem was one. of the experiences of Mr. Benson, the Shakespearean actor: Mr. Benson made a professional visit to Dublin, and the rehearsals included the due training of a body of stage assistants to represent the hurried- ly retracting supporters of Richard “Crookback,” when that monarch sue- cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the nigh of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to ac- knowledge being vanquished, but turn- ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them a severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to a proper submission till one of the “rank and file” said: “Look here, Mr. Benson, if you want us to be beaten, you must put O'Con- nor” (the leadlng “bruiser” of the party) “in Richmond's army!’—Pear- son’s Weekly.

FIRST SESSION FRUITLESS Examénation of Veniremen by the Prosecution Includes Inquiry- as to Life and Cccupation and Affiliation With Labor Unions, Boise, Ida., May 10.—No juror has vet been chosen for the trial of Will-| iam D. Haywood. Of the original panel fonr were excused by the court, two becans eof material interests that would suffer, one because of the se- | vere illness of his wife and the fogrth because he had been appointed a city patrolman since drawn. The examination of the seventh talesman by the prosecution only was, in progress at noon recess. Of the other six three were excused on chal- lenge for bias by the prosecution and {three were temporarily passed. The { latter have not as yet been examined i by the defense. The examination of %lhe prospective jurors by the prosecu- !tion included an extended inquiry as [ to life and occupation, affiliation with abor unions, acquaintance with Gov- zrnor Steunenberg, attitude toward circamstantial evidence, the magner. by which the prisoner was brought to Idaho from Colorado and capital pun- ishment. Lhe fiict disclosure of the names of | the witnesses for the state, other than ' those known through the grand jury inquiry, was made voluntarily by coun- sel for the state befre the examination jof talesmen began. The list contains 151 names, including Harry Orchard, former Governor Peabody of Colorado, Miss Cora Peabody, daughter of Gov- ernor Peabody; W. E. Carlton, presi- dent, and C. C. Hamlin, secretary, of i the Mine Owners’ association of Crip- ple Creek, Col.; General Sherman Bell {of Colorado, Bulkely Wells, adjutant general of Colorado; Julian Steunen- berg, brother of the dead governor; | Steve Adams, Mrs. Adams, Frank A.

Havwood, secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, has been placed on trial for complicity in the murder at Caldwell, Ida., on Dec. 30, 1905, of former Governor Frank Steunenberg- Haywood is one of four defendants charged with the murder. The others- are Charles B. Moyer, president of the federation; George A. Pettibone, a former member of the ex- cutive committee of the federation, and Harry Orchard. The last named is expected to be the most important witness for the state against Hay- wood, Moyer and Pettibone. He is said to have made a confession and it has been the task of the prosecution to endeavor to corroborate this con- fession wherever possible. The fact that Haywood’s case is the first called for trial is regarded as indicating that the prosecuting attorneys believe their strongest ovidence is against the sec- retary of the federation. The outcome of his case will determine the action to be taken with regard to Moyer and Pettibone. Should there be a conviec- tion of Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone will he called for trial in the order named. On the other hand, an ac- quittal of Haywood undoubtedly would niean an abandonment of the cases against the other accused officers of the miners’ organization. Orchard’s Trial Will Come Last. Orchard will not be tried until all of the other cases are disposed of. It is said that the evidence against him is so strong that he cannot hope for other than a conviction of murder in the first degree regardless of the ver- dicts upon the indictments against Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone. Or- chard, it is said, has been promised no degree of clemency whatsoever in glving evidence for the-state.

Speculation as to the length of the Haywood trial hasresulted In guesses rangiig from two weeks to five months. There are some who belleve that the task of selecting a jury alone will require at least three weeks. LOST CONTROL OF CAR. Motorman Killed and Ten Persons In- > jured. Louisville, Ky., May 10.—A tele- phone message from Lexington, Ky., says Willlam Wells, a matorman, was killed and ten other persons injured, one probably fatally, in a collision there between a street car and a Ches- apeake and Ohio passenger train from Louisville. The motorman, it is said, lost control of his car and it struck the mail and-haggage cars of the train. END OF DRUG TRUST. Serpetual Injunction eral~Circuit Court.

CONSPIRACY. IS ALLEGED. Suit Begun to Set Aside Patents to Valuable Lands. Denver, May 10.—That a conspiracy was fostered with the object of wronsg- tully obtaining several thousand acres of valuable timber land from the gov- that titles were acquired through false fillngs by ineligible en- trymen and that persons were induced and make mock attempts at cultivation and oth- er improvements—all violations of the provisions of the homestead act—are the chief allegations which form the basis of two bills of equity filed in the federal court here asking to have set aside patents to land titles held by the New Mexico Lumber company ernment; to settle on the claims and the Pagosa Lumber company. An injunction is also asked to re strain the defendant companies from destruction of the forests The timber properties claimed by the lum- ber companies are gituated in Archul- eta county and their value is placed at $50,000. In the complaint the court is asked to make the different persons who filed claims on the lands defend- ants in the action.

TWO CARS GO INTO DITCH Flames Break Out in the Wreckage, but Are Extinguished Before Reach: * ing the Injured and Imprisoned Oc- cupants of the Coaches. Chicago, May 10.—A suburban pas- senger train on the Burlington rail- road running between Aurora, IIL, and Chicago was wrecked near Lawndale, about-six miles from the city. Mrs. Mary Miller was killed and about twenty persons. seriously injured, at least one fatally. - The train was running at \a high rate of speed when the engine struck a broken rail and leaped from the track. After leaving the rails the en- gine slid along the track for fifty feet and then overturned. It rolled down the bank, dragging with it the first passenger coach and baggage car. The coaches in the rear left the rails, but remained on the embanknfent. The roof of the first coach was smashed in and all of the passengers were in- jured more or less severely. The ‘wreckage caught fire, but the flames were extinguished in a few moments by an engine company which reached the scene of the accident within a few minutes after it .had occurred. The steam from-the engine burned some of the passengers, but the injuries from this cause were not severe. * Mrs. Mary Miller, who was killed, was the widow of Thomas Miller, for- merly freight traffic manager of the Chicago, Burlington and ‘Quincy rail- road, who died eighteen months ago. Whern the car overturned Mrs. Miller was thrown between two seats and the wreckage piled upon her. She was conscious when taken from the car and insisted that she was not badly hurt. She died, however, just as she was being carried into the hospital. OTHERS MAY BE IN RUINS Two Persons Known to Have Perished in Kansas City Fire. Kansas City, May 10.—Search for bodies was begun at daylight in the ruins of the University building, at Ninth and Locust streets, destroyed by fire during the night. One body at least is known to be in the debris, that of Miss Aurora Wittebort, a piano instructor, and it is believed that many others may be found. The fire is still smouldering and it will be some time before a thorough search can be made. The known dead now number two, Miss Wittebort and Professor George Demare. It is believed that all of the injured will recover. The most seri- ously hurt is Countess 'Alexandra Blumberg, the Russian artist, whose skull was’ fractured in a fall from a ladder. “Her condition is serious, but Dr. Eugenia Metzger, ler physician, expressed the belief that the countess would recover. Countess Blumberg is the daughter of a Russian nobleman, Count Andre Blumberg, once a member of the privy council of the czar, who fell under the displeagure of the crown and was ex- iled after his immense estates had been confiscated. Miss Wittabort was the heroine of a train incident in Indiana when she was a young girl twelve years ago and for her bravery, which resulted in sav- ing a fast passenger train which bore a number of French and Belgian of- ficials en route to Chicago, she was decorated by the French government. OCEAN LINER FAST AGROUND Stedmer Baltic Goes Ashore Just Aft- er Leaving Port. New York, May 10.—Passengers who departed for Europe on the White Star liner Baltic were doomed to spend a dismal day in the rain"and fog off the tip of Sandy Hook with the steamer’s As the Bal- tic went aground almost at high water mark the task of getting her afloat again is a difficult one. Four tugs strained for an hour in an effort sto pull her off. Although they managed to move her a few feet it was not suf- ficlent to put water under ber keel and the receding tide left her still stranded. Officials of the White Star line said the Baltic went aground when taken from her course to aveid a collision with an inward bound steamer when the two ships came close together in the fog. s The Baltic is resting easily and of- ficials of the line expect she will be floated shortly. STRICKEN IN COURTROOM. lowan Had Just Boasted He Was Good for Twenty Years More. Des Moines, May 10.—“I am sixty- five, but sound as a dollar and good for at least eighty-five.” ‘With the sound of his-own voice still lingering on his lips James Had- field, a pioneer of Polk county, testify- ing as a witness in a civil action, gave a sudden gasp, slipped forward on the chair and dropped to the floor dead. Heart disease was the cause of his death. Apparently Hadfield was in the best of health. He was answer- ing the usual question as to age put to a witness when he jocularly boast- ed of the future. The death created a scene in the courtroom. UNDER NEW PENSION ’LAW ‘Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand Applications Made. ‘Waghington, May 10.—More than 93,000 pensions haye been granted un- der the McCubber service pension act. So far there have been 330,000 appli- cations filed. The bureau is grinding them out at the rate of 1,600 a day. It will take about six months to pass upon the applications already filed. It 1s estimated that at least 70,000 more will be filed within the co; g year. The pensions date from the day the application 1s received, so_the soldier who Is last on the list is losing noth- ing by the delay. His money-is sim- ply acenmulating. o “One remarkable thing about the new law,” saild Assistant Secretary ‘Wilson, “Is that only 1 per cent of the 830,000 soldiers who have applied for pensions under “the MecCumber act ‘were not already on the pension rolls. In other words, only 3,300 of the appli- cants were not already drawing pen- slons under some other law. This sur- prised “the pension officials. We thought there were at least 40,000 old soldiers not on the rolls ‘who would apply for a service pension. But up to date not one-tenth that number have applied.” Stephenson in the Lead.

S HOT RESULT OF ANY DEAL TYaft's Brother Discusses Endorsement. by Former Ohio Boss: Cincinnati, May 10.—That the am- nouncement by George B.

New. York, May 10.—The gravity in the longshoremen’s strike grows witi the hours. This is principally because ‘he congestion of freight is becoming rapidly greater, the total monetary loss being reckoped at about. $600,000, involving business in many parts of the country. It is also because an ele- ment of the strikers seem to be ready to resort to violence, as was manifest when 300 Italian and Polish strike- breakers were surprised and ‘attacked by several hundred strikers and their sympathizers' in- Williamsburg and a savage fight ensued in which stones, knives and club8 were used and num- bers of persons were hurt, including some policemen. Then . again both sides show a fixity of purpose which does not presage an early end of the trouble. The strikefs, Who now num- ber about 12,000} declare that they will not yield unless their demands for'a higher scale of wages are granted and the steamship com‘lfinie_s,are equally insistent that no concessions will be made by them and that they will stand together to resist the men’s exactions. Meantime Police Commissioner Bing- ham has taken the precaution to keep in reserve at the stations all the po- licemen except those on patrol. J. H. Thomas, operating manager of the International company, speaking for the transatlan- tic lines involved in the strike, said that the heads of all those lines had discussed the situation. They were unanimous, he said, in the position that the demands of-the strikers were exorbitant, thatTthe companies could not afford to meet them and that the strikers’ places would be filled with other men at th® present scale. The companies will bend their energies to getting the vessels away on schedule time, even-if this be with partial car- goes.

The police have shown that they are fully competent to cope with the moh of strikers and their sympathizers and it does not appear at all likely that the aid of the militia will have to be invoked. In the meantime a concilia- tory committee is at work trying to settle the various strikes and to pre- vent further. disturbances caused by industrial differences. The committee of fifty which took charge of affairs during the refent disaster is again actively engaged in an attempt to bring about peace. It is thought that the telephone strike is now in a fair way to be settled without much fur- ther delay and this will go far to- wards clearing up the-general situa- tion.

The American laborers have been recelving $2 a day for nine hours’ work. The New York firm wanted them to work ten hcurs a day. The men refused and the Italians were brought here to take their places. The Ttalians -work twelve hours a day for $1.75. Representatives of the American Federation of Labor point out that American labor contributed a large amount to the monument and Ameri- can labor should have the preference in the work.
