The party H was making a preliminary survey for the Nome railroad, which is planned from Valdez to the summit. They had advanced about 100 yards up the can- yon when they were surprised by an ambush of the Guggenheim men head- ed by Edward Hassey, an ex-United States marshal. Hassey called to the surveyors and ordered them to stop, saying his men would shoot if any fur- ther advance was made. The survey- ors believed Hassey was bluffing and continued working. They were met Ly a fusillade of bullets. Portland, Ore, . '~* . —A cable to the Oregonian from Valdez states that only meager details have been recelved of the fight, but that it is reported that one man was killed and that three more may die from their wounds.

It is stated that deputy United States marshals armed with rifies left immediately for the scene to capture the gullty persons. BTTLESHIP NORTH DAKOTA President Names New Twenty Thousand-Ton Warship. Washington, =~ ...—North Da- kota will be the name of battleship No. 23, one of the new 20,000-ton ves- sels contracts for which were recently awarded by the navy department. The other vessel, as heretofore announced, will be called the Delaware. Presi- dent Roosevelt has decided that as so many naval vessels bear the names of New York cities it would be unfalr to carry out the original plan of naming No. 23 the New York and of changing the cruiser of that name to the Sara- toga. Utah now Is the only onme of the states after which no war vessel has been named.

BACKED BY AMERICAN CASH Revolutionary Plot Originally Hatched In New York City and a Number of Professional Rebels Employed to Carry on the Work. Havana, -~ ¢ ~—The secret po- lice early In the day arrested General Masso Parra and a llttle later took into custody General Juan Ducassi and General Lara Miret, charged with conspiring agalnst public order. General Parra 18 the alleged leader of the conspiracy to start a revolution against the Americans in Cuba with the use of funds supplled from or through some firm on Broadway, New York. It is known that simultaneous- ly with the arrival of Parra at Havana three Sauto Domingans, well known on account of their previous revolu- tionary records, also reached this port and it 1s stated that other individuals of a similar character are working in Eastern Cuba. The government has knowledge of the fact that General Jiminez, the ex-president of San Do- mingo, has recently been at Santiago de Cuba, but whether he was connect- ed with the conspiracy is not yet knowa. It is known that the conspiracy was hatched in New York by certain Americans whose names, it is said, plready are in the possession of the United States government secret offi- cers and It is stated that the leaders here were simply professional revolu- tlonists hired for the purpose of carry- ing on the revolt. In consequence of the arrests made here it is believed that the movement will result in a fiasco. Governor Ma- goon, however, is not taking any chances, He is amply prepared with 8,000 American soldiers and 5,000 ru- ral guards to crush any movement. NOT CONSIDERED - SERIOUS Cuban Situation as Viewed by Wash- ington Officials. ‘Washington, =-—- -~.—War depart- ment officials, while admitting that agltation is rampant among the negro population in Cuba because of their failure to receive their proper share of the offices, declare there is little prob- ability of any uprising against the provisional government on that ac- count. The negro population, compos- Ing 90 per cent of the people who op- posed Palma’s government, claim they have not been fairly treated. A con- tinuation of this agitation, it is admit- ted, might have a seridus effect’ in driving some of the malcontents to at- tempted risings in isolated places, but Governor Magoon is said to be pre- pared to prevent anything like an in- surrection, Acting Secretary of War Oliver was at the White House during the day, but he did not regard the stories of a Cuban revolt of sufficient importance to bring it to'the president’s attention. Governor Magoon is keeping the war department advised of the situation and is consulting freely with General Barry and- other military officers in command of the army of Cuban pacifi- cation. His dispatches, for prudential reasons, are not made public. The agitation has been in Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces, in the latter province being among the lawless class, mainly negroes. Governor Magoon has reported that private and official advices from San- tiago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces indicate abso- lute tranquillity there. General Barry has telegraphed from Havana: “Referring to newspaper accounts of agitation in Cuba I have been alive to the situation for some days, though nothing has developed worthy of re- porting. All intelligence officers and station commanders have been alert and have reported everything con- cerning it. Deily reports from them show tranquillity in all provinces ex- cept Pinar del Rio, where there is some slight agitation among a lawless class, mainly negroes. Am satisfied any friction which may arise will be promptly and successfully handled.” ALLEGED CUBAN CONSPIRACY Movement Said to Be Backed by Amer- Ican Capitalists. Havana, <= \2..—A conspiracy to start a revolutionary movement in Cuba has been discovered. Under instructions issued by Gov- ernor Magoon a number of suspicious persons have been shadowed for sev- eral days. It is sald that the move- ment is backed by New York capital- ists. It is declared that Masso Parra has been the leader of the activity. Parra has led several Latin-American revo- lutions. He tried to enter Cuba after belng expelled two years ago, but the Palma administration kept him out. Parra landed in Cuba several weeks ago. It s persistently stated that the money to finance the revolution was furnished from Wall street. There Is every reason to believe that only one of the prominent officers who were parties to the pact with Secretary Taft is connected with this conspiracy. General Pino Guerra, General Jose Miguel Gomez and the other Cubans who led the revolution against Palma are earnestly opposed to this movement and stand ready to take the fleld with the governmental torces should an outbreak occur. SUES FOR TAX PENALTIES State of Minnesota Asks $27,000 From Railroads. St. Paul, .., —atate Treasurer Dinehart has turned over to Attorney . General Young a number of drafts ." made against several raflroads for col. ; lection., They cover penalties imposed for ‘failure to pay within the lawtul ,time gross earnings taxes, The amount originally wus about $29,000, but be cause of errors discovered several of /+thie ' roads were released. This reduced the total figure to about 000. Many of the roads against whom penaltles have been imposed make the point that they should not be compelled to suffer any penalty because of the fact that they pay most of their taxes long before the lawtul limit. This is done, they say, in order to enable the state to tide itself over the usual financial stringency which occurs generally | 2bout the first of the yvear. HIGHER PRICES WANTED. Minnesota Farmers Fix Values of Cer- tain Products. St. Paul, ¢, i '/[.—With a view to arranging for a more profitable mar- keting of their crops a number of Min- nesota farmers who are members of the American Society of Equity met at the old capitol, planned to establish a ¢clearinghouse for their own products and to raise prices so as to make thelr business mors profitable, At the meeting a number of matters With reference to the transportation and marketing of crops were dis- cussed. Reports were made by three speclal committees appointed to con- fer with reference to the prices of po- tatoes and grain and to formulate by- laws and a constitution for the organ- ization. The potatoes committee rec- ommended that farmers demand 66 cents a bushel for potatoes on cars at the shipping points. The committee on grains recom- mended that $1.26 per bushel be asked for wheat, 95 cents for ' 2'~v, 70 cents for oats, $1.30 for flax : $1 for rye. There was considerable discussion over what would be a fair price for hay, but $20 per ton was finally agreed upon, with $6.50 per hundred pounds for timothy seed. Although the reports of these two committees were adopted this does not definitely settle the mat. ter, but is merely the recommendation of the Minnesota convention to the national organization, the annual con- vention of which will be held at In- dianapolis Oct. 22-29. HOPES TO ARRANGE RAGE Lipton Disappointed by Action of New York Yacht Club. London, ~_ . - .—Sir Thomas Lip- ton is bitterly disappointed at the fail- ure of the New York Yacht club to accept his challenge for another series of races for the America’s cup and is anxiously awaiting official information on the subject through the Royal Irish Yacht club, which he hopes will give in detail the reasons for the American club’s action. In en interview Sir Thomas said he could not understand why his chal- lenge had not been accepted, as he had been led to believe that if he challenged under the universal rule which prevails for races in the United States there was every possibility of his challenge being favorably received. He added, however, that he had not given up hope of sending a yacht to Sandy Hook in 1908 and already had telegraphed to Willlam Fife, the de- signer, to come to London for a con- sultation. There was but one thing which Sir Thomas was emphatic about and that ‘was that he would not challenge under the old rule. One reason for this is that there is no designer of note in Great Britain, which includes both Fife and Milne, who will design a boat similar to the previous Shamrocks. They say that to do so would necessi- tate the production of even a greater freak than those which have already gone to defeat. Besides the danger of saillng such a boat across the At- lantic must be taken into account and Sir Thomas is not prepared to again risk the lives of men in such a ven- ture. GOES WITH GALLON OF OIL Trust Pamphlet Circulated All Over the Country. New York, ~ -« _®~—The Standard Oll company has issued in the last month 4,000,000 coples of its pamphlet labeled “from the directors of the Standard Oil company to its employes and stockholders.” The pamphlet is being distributed not only to those to whom it is ad- dressed but sent broadcast among oil consumers. It is given away, through dealers, with the sale of a gallon of oil. The pamphlet, a summary of which was published a month or more ago, deals with the $29,240,000 fine imposed upon the Standard Oil company of Indiana by Judge Landis. In “a word in ad- vance” it alleges that the Standard Ofl company is the victim of a “per- sistent and adroit” attack on the part of the federal authorities. Then follows a statement by James A. Moftett, president of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, in which he defends the 6-cent rate attacked by the government.

MILBURN PROUD OF HIS WORK Admits at New York Hearing That He Advised Building Pipe Line Station at Center Bridge, Pa., and Thought the Idea Excellent. New York, ~. _.~—The pipe line station of the National Transit com- pany, a Standard Oil corporation, at Center Bridge, Pa., on the New Jersey state line, which the company con- tends is a terminal station, was built in 1906 on the advice of John G. Mil- burn, of counsel for the company. Mr. Milburn is representing the Standard Oil company in the federal hearing now In progress in this city, It is contended by the government t'gt the Center Bridge station was buillas a nominal deliyery point in 1906 to evade the Hepburn act, which pro- vided that pipe line carriers shall sub- mit schedules of tariffs to their ter- minals. It is the government’s view that the company’s real terminal is Bayonne, N. J. At the hearing Frank B. Kellogg, for the government, asked C. M. Payne, an employe of the Standard, who advised the building of the de- livery tanks at Center Bridge. “I did,” interposed Mr. Milburn, “for I thought, under the law, that there should be a delivery point there. I thought it excellent advice.” “I don’t,” said Mr. Kellogg, who then asked the witness the location | of Fond Grove. Another of the Same Kind. “It is on the state line between Pennsylvania and Maryland,” said Mr. Payne. “What pipe line companies connect at Fond Grove?” “The National Transit company line connects with the pipe line of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey,” answered the witness. “Is there anything but a tank and rumping station at Fond Grove?” “I do not think so,” said Mr. Payne. Mr. Kellogg spread upon the record that several pipe lines of subsidiary companies of the Standard made a shipping point at Marcus Hook, Pa., and that the oil through the pipes came from Cygnet, O. “Do you know if the Standard has a pipe line between New York and Brooklyn?” “l do not know,” answered Mr. Payne. “I have heard of it and rcad that there was a pipe line under the Hudson and East rivers.” “And as vice president of the trunk pipe lines you don’t know if therg is a pipe line between New York and Brooklyn?” “I have heard that there was, but don’t know of it of my own knowl- edge,” said Mr. Payne, AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS Ex-President Cleveland Gets Promised Box of Cigars. New York, 7._.. -~ —Felisberto C. Paes Leme of Rio de Janeiro, who has arrived here in charge of a party of thirty Brazilian merchants and pro- fessional men who desire to visit the principal cities of the East to study American business methods, asked when he landed where ex-President Cleveland could be found. “I have for Mr. Cleveland a box of the finest cigars that we make in Bra- zil,” sald he, “which I promised to Mr. Cleveland twenty-four years ago. 1 shall have to apologize, I fear, for the long delay in making good my promise, but I shall be forgiven no doubt when he lights the first cigar. “I met Mr. Cleveland at that time when he was governor of New York and I was impressed with the idea that he was the greatest man among Americans.” Senor Leme said the party hoped to visit Mr. Cleveland at Princeton. NOT FIT FOR PUBLICATION Président’s Personal Opinion of Okla- homa Constitution. ‘Washington, B - .—President Roosevelt has announced that he will approve the Oklahoma constitution. He said he had examined the docu- ment with the attorney general and that he felt that the question of his approval ought not to be based on his personal opinion of the document, but upon whether it came within the terms of the enabling act. His personal opinion of the document, the presi- dent laughingly said, was “not fit for publication.” The promulgation of his approval will be made later. No Objection to Wu Ting Fang. ‘Washington, ~ - «i.—President Roosevelt announceda to a gathering of newspaper men at the White House that he assumed there would be no ob- Jection to the appointment of Wu Ting Fang as minister from China to the United States. The president added, however, that he had not formally taken up the matter with the state department. Moorish Rebels Victorious. Melilla, Morocco, ..., -~+.—Moorish rebels numbering about 3,000 men have defeated a force of imperial troops in a battle which lasted a day and a half.

Chicago, ~_. “7.—James A. Mof. fett, president of' the Standard Oil company of Indiana, has been sefved with the subpoena commanding his presence hefore the federal grand jury in this city next Tuesday. Mr. Mof- fett will be asked to substantiate his statement that other shippers in the vicinity of Whiting, Ind., have been as gullty as the Standard Ofl company, which was recently convicted of ac- cepting rebates from the Chicago and Alton rallroad. CASE AGAINST BORAH. Much of the Documentary Evidence Placed Before Jury, Bolse, Ida: “.—Having ac- complished much of the tedious work of identifying and placing on the rec- ord the papers in about fifty of the alleged fraudulent claims filed on tim- ber lands in the interest of the Barber Lumber company the government at- torneys in charge of the prosecution of United States Senator Willlam E. Borah, who acted as attorney for the company, began during the day to un- fold in narrative form detalls of the alleged conspiracy. ‘Witnesses who are willing to con- fess to alleged wrongdoing and to making false affidavits when they swore they were taking out timber claims In their own interest and with- out agreement to transfer the claim to other persons will have largely to do with the presentation of the govern- ment’s case. In his opening statement to the jury former Judge Burch of Detroit, the special assistant of the attorney gen- eral sent here to take an active part in the prosecution, announced that the government would offer as one of the principal witnesses George S. Long, who, it is alleged, acted as “dummy” trustee to receive title to claims from “dummy” entrymen and transfer the property later to the Barber Lumber company. This lumber company, a Wisconsin corporation having its mill in this city, came into being, the government as- serts, after the allezed frauds were well under way and was organized to hold and make use of the lands se- | cured through the so-called conspiracy. MORE TRIBES SIGN PEACE Situation in Morocco Continues to Improve.

Chicago, = . “/.—In a statement addressed to the stockholders of the Illinois Central railroad, of which he is president, J. T. Harahan accepted the gage of battle offered by Stuy- vesant Fish, the former president, and replied vigorously to the strictures upon the present Illinois Central ad- ministration made public Tuesday by Mr. Fish. Mr. Harahan charges: That Fish was ousted from the pres: idency because his personal excur- | slons into the field of high finance threatened to impair the financial sta- bility of the road. That he loaned himself as an in- dividual upon inadequate seeurity $1, | 500,000 of the Illinois Central’s funds. That, for the protection of the credit of the company and the reputation of Fish, a director personally loaned him money to repay the company. That Fish, interested in a trust com- pany, deposited large sums of Illinois Central money with the trust concern after its credit was seriously im- paired. That the Illinois Central was unable to recover from the president of the trust company money loaned him in- | dividually by President Fish. That Fish violated an agreement ar- rived at for the purpose of obviating iiscord in the directorate and misused proxies. VOLIVA GIVES UP FIGHT. Will Quit Zion City but Expects to Found Another Colony. Chicago, Z..~ -~ —Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who successfully grasped the reins of government of Zion City from the hands sf John Alexander Dowie and expected to reign in his stead after the death of Dowie, has an- nounced to 1,000 of his followers in that city torn by many factions that he had given up the fight there. At the same time he announced that he had lost the options upon the land in New Mexico where he expected to found a new. colony, but would buy property adjacent to Zion City and found the colony there. The speech of Voliva was his swan song so far as Zion City is con- cerned. He said that he had received formal notice from John C. Hately, the receiver of Zion City, to vacate the premises which he has used as ofices and the publication plant of his official paper within thirty days. He said that he would get out and would not pay another dollar to the receiver. Voliva was bitter against Mr. Hately and branded his treatment as perse- Bemidji. choice building provement H. A.
