NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Projected move- ments for the reorganization of the Dem- ocratic party havé been abandoned by some of the leading Gold Democtrats of this city because of advices from Wash- ington to the effect that W. J. Bryan has already made arrangements for a third nomination for President, and his policy and the platform for 1904 are to be cre- ated in advance by his friends in the United States Senate. Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is to lead the fight for a third nomination for Bryan. The Senator has written to prominent Bryanite Demoerats in this city outlining the Democratic poliey for 194, The paramount issue is to be “war against the trusts” and capital. The chairman of the Natlonal Commit- tee is now collecting material for the preparation of an anti-trust bill which he is to introduce in the Senate as soon as the Fifty-seventh Congress shall have or- ganized. This measure is to have the support of Senators Tillman, Bailey, Dan- fel and other Bryanites in the Senate, and the leader of the party is to advocate it in the Commoner. Democratic leaders know the bill cannot pass at any time during McKinley's second term, so it is to be made sweeping in scope and ex- tremely radieal in poliey. The Bryanite programme is to keep the advocate it fn and out of Congress and use it as a means to re- vive the waning Bryan sentiment throughout the country.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 12.—At the Great Northern general offices it is learned that President J. J. Hill has acceded to the de- | mands of the labor unions in the North- western States and will dispense with Japanese labor in the shops and on the road. There were about 2000 orientals thus em- uloyed, and of these about 1500 have been displaced by white men. It is sald that Mr. Hill did not employ tiese men from choice, but because it was impossible to find white labor. The Japs performed less work in a day than their white com- panions, but they received less pay and there was no objection on this point. They were poor workm« . and great de- stroyers of raw material.

The cur- | rent talk represents the army as bemny | dissatisfied and announcing that it does | not intend to take up arms against the | people so long as their opposition is di- rected against the Jesuits and the Count of Caserta. The feeling against the for- mer is largely political, but a real and deep-seated antagonism exists against the former Carlist leader. The decision of the High Court to-day { favering the contention of the mother in the Ubao case, giving the daughter into her charge and releas:ng her from the convent, is likely to have a soothing cf- | fect. The signing at the palace to-night of the civil contract in connection with the wed- ding was a simple ceremony and w 1= nessed by only the members of the royal | family, the court officials, the Ministry the Count of Caserta and his family and the chosen legal witnesses of each party.

Eight hundred stu- | dents, led by a woman and bearing French and Spanish flags, assembled this after- noon in the Puerta del Sol and started cries for the army and against the Jesuits and the Count of Caserta.

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 12.—Ignacio Gaxi- alo was ambushed and killed by Yaqui Indians at Siris, near Hermosillo, yester- day. General Torres made an effort to se- cure a large number of Yaqui Indians to take them to'the interior of the republic, the Government hoping to stop the Yaqui warfare by this plan. He brought the Indians to Hermoslllo after the soldiers had killed Verde, an old chietf of the Yaquis at Hermosillo. The Indians broke away from 500 Fed- eral troops, who guarded them. At Siris they ravaged ranches, stole horses and provisions and fled to the Yaqui River. Several prominent ranchers were killed by the Yaquis. Soldlers pursued the In- dians, but caught only a few. People are excited at Hermosillo and ad- vices received by Tucson merchants to- day warn Americans against going Into the mountains. It is believed here that the Yaqui warfare has just begun In earnest, as a large number of hitherto peaceful Yaquis have jolned the warriors. KNOX TO SUCCEED GRIGGS.

WONEN RAID SALOON AND CAUSE RIOT ‘Defend Their Leader Against a Vicious Attack. Beat Bartender Almost o Death and a Free Fight Follows. e Special Dispatch to The Call. CRAWFORDSVILL Women of Jacksonville, Ind., Feb. 12— near this city, recently, organized a Carrie Nation Club and passed - resolutions methods of Mrs. advocating the Nation in_her crusade against the saloons in Kansas. At a special meeting held last night it was voted to wipe the three saloons In Jack- sonville off the earth. Mrs. der, the president, addressed the ladfes, who numbered more than a hundred. En- thusiasm ran higa and .to-day every hatchet, ax, clu} and brick in the neigh- borhood was speedily collected. With Mrs. Snyder in the lead the army advanced to the near saloon of Dan Grimes, who had opened a new place with all modern improvements. Without a moment’s warning a half-hun- dred bricks were hurled against the glass front and before the astonished proprietor realized what was wrong the front of the galoon looked as if a cyclone had struck it. The inmates scrambled through a rear James Sny- | door. Meanwhile the women had gained the inside and demolished a large mirror and emptied all of the Sottles upon the floor. Faucets in whisky barrels were turned open and liquor and wines flooded the floor. Grimes, realizing that the wreck made him a pauper, rushed into the saloon and choked Mrs. Snyder almost into insensi- bility, and dragged her from the place. Her army was quick to the rescue, how- clubs and what bricks were left beat him almost to death. A large crowd gathered upon the scene and & free-for-all fizht ensued between the saloon element and sympathizers of the women. Bartender Ryan was knocked down and kicked into insensibility by the husband of Mrs. Snyder. Mrs. Stephen Garrett was struck on the face by a thrown beer bottlic. The police were powerless and the fight lasted half an hour. The condition of Ryan is serfous and he may not recover. Mrs. Snyder also is in a eritical condition. The three sa- loons have closed and will not attempt to open till law and order are restored. The affair has created x sensation, as those who beleng to the Carrie Nation Club are the most prominent women of the place. Citizens say that if the saloons attempt to reopen they will be dynamited, if necessary, in order to abolish them. War- rants will be sworn out for the leaders and those who participated in the fight. —_———— MRS. NATION IN CHICAGO. Small Crowd Gathers to Welcome Her Arrival. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—Mrs. Carrie Nation arrived in Chicago to-night and within fifteen minutes after reaching the ecity she was facing a somewhat diminutive audience gathered' under the auspices of local members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in Willard Hall. Only a very small crowd was at the depot and the arrival of Mrs. Nation produced no excitement whatever. At Willard Hall She talked strongly against the saloons and much enthusiasm was worked up. Before entering the hall Mrs. Nation de- clared that it was her intention to get the saloon-keepers of Chicagotogether and talk to them. She was determined to do this, she said, if she was compelled to remain in Chicago a week to accomplish her purpose. At midnight, accompanied by a few women, Mrs. Nation went into the levee district. She efitered a saloon operated by John Juertsch. He was apparently glad to see her and they indulged in a quiet talk. As Mrs. Nation entered the place a young man embraced her and crled out, “How are you, grandma?’ The young man, who Is manager for Juertsch, was recognized by the crusader as her husband’s (David Nation’s) grand- son. “ WICHITA, Feb. 12.—Mrs. Carrie Nation will be sued for divorce by her T-year- old husband if she does not return from the East at once. He is very weary, he says, of her manner of action there. Mr. Nation was here to-day in consultation with his attorneys relative, to his wife's trial, and, it is said, made plans to have divorce proceedings formulated In the near future. —_—— - WOMEN AT THE POLLS. Heavy Vote Cast in the Kansas City Primaries. KANSAS €ITY, Mo., Feb. 12—The primary election in Kansas City, Kans, to-day was remarkable because of the ac- tivity of the women voters.
