BM(e4 Wltk Raage TOWM 4T With Dnlath 8jr*teat«. It !s announced on good authority that Duluth will In the very ljear future, possibly during the present year, he in telephonic communication Vith the range towns. The importance jof this arrangement for the business men of Duluth will not be slight. It cannot be announced as yet which one of the two Duluth companies will pro Ride tor this service. The Duluth & Iron Range road is (he pioneer in introducing telephones north of Duluth. The company is now bringing to completion a private first class .metallic telephone system con necting the towns and mines on the system, with Duluth. Before the end of the year President Oreatsinger of the Duluth & Iron Range road or Pres ident Bacon of the Minnesota Iron company, can sit at their desks in Du luth and call up any of the railroad offices or mines op the system. The Iron Range telephone system is not all connected up as yet- The private line between Duluth and Two Harbors has ibeen in operation for a long time. iWork of the telephone system for 'the road and mines is now progressing be tween Two Harbors and Allen Junc tion. A line will run from the junction io Ely and there will be lines connect ing all other points on this road. The Oliver Iron Mining company, which has mines on the Iron Range road at Ely will, It is expected, feel the same need of telephone connection with Duluth that the road does, and which will be felt by other interests here. While the Iron Range telephone system is being built as a private convenience it is said that one of the Duluth companies will probably connect with it and extend the system for the benefit of the public In the range towns where there are no telephone systems at present, and con nect with the systems of such towns as do have telephones. The Mesaba Telephone company has & system that embraces, or Will em brace when it is fully completed Eve leth, Biwabik, Hibbing, Virginia, Spar to and other towns. It is understood that the telephone company that reach es out for the purpose of providing ser vice with the range towns will connect^ With this system. The prospects are, therefore, that the Iron Range tele phone system, designed as a private service, will be a connecting link in a general service for the public between Duluth and the towns of St. Louis county and Two Harbors. The Duluth, Missabe & Northern road and Consolidated Mines would be interested in any proposition far pro viding telephone servicj'wit.n the towns at which their 'Yaffil- or the ftflnes that ship over thefl^Ju, are lo icated. •1. snit MM TtO FIREMEN BLOCK FORMATION' OF SEAME.V9 IXION. Meeting Held In KalamasOo Hnll Wednesday tor the Purpose But Firemen Want to Flock by Them selves and as Union is to he Gen eral Jfothlng Conld he Done With Them. A meeting was called for Wednesday at the Kalamazoo block for the purpose of taking the first steps in the organization of a local union of the International .Seamens' Union of Am erica. H. Nelson, of Chicago, is the organizer. The meeting last evening was for the special purpose of organiz ing the tug firemen of Duluth. It was d^gigned to take them into a local union which would be the mucleus of a, union that will ultimately include seamen of all grades of both steam and sailing vessels. The International Sea mens' Union of America takes in all classes of men that follow the lakes or the sea. There was a very good attendance last evening but the tug firemen were not disposed to go into a general or ganization. They expresses} a desire to have a union of their own in which there should be none except tug fire men. Mr. Nelson explained that this Would be impossible as the union's scope is general, embracing all men that sail. No definite action was taken, owing to the reluctance of the tug fire men to go into an organization that was not strictly confined to their own class. Among the speakers at the meeting were J. W. Richardson, sec retary of the trades assembly James Dunn, president of the Longshore mens' union and J. H. Baker. Mr. Nelson says that hie will now pro ceed to the organizationi of a union of seamen of all classes and the tug fire men may come in if thtey desire. He had hoped that the firemien would come in In a body last evening and thus give the union its first start in that way. The Seamens' union in the United States is divided into three districts. ThJy are known as the Pacific Coast, Great Lakes and Atlantic Coast dis tricts. The organization on the great Jakes was once very strong but with the decadence of sailing vessels it be came less influential. Steam supplant ed the sailing vessels and now the or- Ekes mlzation is to be revived all along the for the benefit, not only of the practical sailor, but for all men that •ail, whether in steamboat or wind jammer. The freight handlers of Duluth and 'Superior have decided to fix their scale of wages for this season at 3& cents an hour. This is an advance of five cents oVer the scale of last season. BRIDGE OYER COFFEE CREEK. Steel Structure on Boulevard Ready in a Week. Among the important improvements to the boulevard for the' year is the erection of a steel bridge over Coffee creek, on which workmen are just put ting the finishing touches. The struc ture will be completed and ready for travel within a week. It is made entirely of steel and is 156 feet long, with a roadway 20 ffeet wide. Its cost, which is $3,792, comes out of the park fund. The bridge was built Kinder the direction of the park board.. Hansom Safferlac Front Afeseesri. John Hanson, of Fifty-eighth avenue West and Roswell street, is a lumber piler at Mitchell & McClure's saw mill. A few days ago he fell from a high lumber pile and cut a severe gash in his head. A doctor was called and the wound was dressed, several stitches be ing taken to close it. After a day or so the wound appeared to be healing nicely, when suddenly a swelling ap peared on Mr. Hanson's neck which developed into an abscess, from the ef fects of which Mr. Hanson may possibly not recover. He has been operated upon, but he re quires constant watching and the doc tors are thoroughly puzzled with the case. Members of the Maccabees have taken the case in hand. Opening Up a Road. S. F. Snively is making an improve ment in the eastern part of the city that will be of interest to people that drive out into the suburbs in search of new local scenery. He is opening a road f.rom Lester Park proper up along the west branch of Lester river, for a distance of two miles. Mr. Snive ly is opening up some of his lands. He is building a good road and it will con tain 10 bridges, most of which are at least 100 feet long. One of the bridges is 300 feet long: and SO feet high. W1THOIT OF XAVIG L.OI .yr. T» OF THAT OFEMXG 1U WILL 11E LATE. LnleMs Clonds Break Loose Traffic by Lake May Be Delayed Until About May First—Xot Expected Before April 20 Aityliotv—Drift Ice Outside of Harbor and Entire Field Is Cracked. The people that: have been forecast ing an early opening of navigation are not saying as much as they were. It is not believed now that the opening will take place before April 20 and that is about the average. If there should not be a great deal of rain for the next couple of weeks the opening may even be delayed until May 1. President Greatsinger, of the Duluth & Iron Range road, is among those that do not look for an early opening/ He says that rain will be required in consider able volume to open up the connecting waters of the great lakes. Ther-s Is no snow to sfreak of and the opening of navigation depends in large measure oh the amount of rainfall in the next couple of weeks. The weather bureau's ice report sayg that there is 2S inches of ice at Ash land, 24 inches at Houghton, 13.5 at Mar4Uette. St. Mary's river is full of ice ranging from 20 to 25 inches thick. The ice field at Buffalo extends be yond the line of vision. No open Water is reported in sight at Port Huron. The first westerly or southwesterly wind wHl show -blue watafqqjp Duluth. The xiKpjp of late has 'caiRftikfoto, field of tfrffTTce to form on tne outer edge of the solid ice. The entire field is cracked as a result of the water pres sure from below, due to northeasterly winds. VICTORY AT COLUMBUS. Greatly Encourages the Striking Machinists at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, O., March 29.—The striking machinists in this city were greatly encouraged today as a result of the victory won by the machinists at Columbus, O., where a strike has just ended in favor of the men. Two more firms have granted the demands of the strikers here, making .20 con cerns in all where the men have re turned to work. About 2,000 machin ists in this city are still out. AGREEMENT IS REACHED. Threatened Strike of Buffalo Car penters Is Averted. BUFFALO, N. Y„ March 29.—An agreement has been reached by the carpenters' union and contractors' as sociation whereby the threatened strike of carpenters on Monday has been averted. The carpenters demanded a minimum scale of 30 cents an hour, eight hours to, constitute a day's work.

Transport Se«l*ewiclc Arrived at Cuban Port on SaBday—Wit* In Open. Roadstead With So Shelter. Lighters Came Alongside to Dis charge—Fifteen of Crew Refused to Work Wlthont Extra Pay. NEW YORK, March 29.—The United States transport Sedgwick, Captain Henricks, arrived today from Havana and Gibara with 51 cabin passengers and €6 discharged and furloughed sol diers, civilians, etc. The Sedgwick brought nearly $1,000, 000 in specie and a large quantity of Cuban products for the forthcoming Paris exposition. While at Gibara* March 25, 13 members of the trans port's crew refused to obey the offi cers' orders. They were placed in irons and brought to this port for trial. There also were five general prisoners on board from Havana. Captain Hendricks, explaining the affair with the sailors, said he hardly considered their offense as mutiny and that he would make the complaint to the United States marshal for con tinued wilful disobedience to lawful or* ders." He Told the Following Story* Last Sunday morning we arrived at Gibara, which is. an open roadstead and three small lighters with clothing came alongside. A little later the boatswain ordered the crew to unload the lighters, they refused, saying they were not going to work on Sunday, without extra pay. When this was re ported to me I went forward and or dered the men to go to work and re ceived the same answer. I then read the articles all had"sfgned and especial ly that part which says refusal to work will be considered as mutiny, and told them I would treat' ttoem as mu tineers. I gave them five minutes to go to work. At the end of that time 13 men were put in irons on bread and water. I had not hanacuffs enough to go around so I had them coupled to gether in twos. The men were all en listed for a year." The penalty for the offense with which the seamen are charged is loss of ten day's pay and 30 day's imprison ment. DOOM AT ASHLAXD. Thomns Bardon Says Everything There Is Growing Rapidly. Thpiftas Bardon, mayor of Ashland, one of the biggest men mentally and physically in Northern Wisconsin, was in Duluth yesterday on business. He is up here looking after his interests in this section and talks interestingly of the metropolis of Chequamegon. He says: "Knight & Vilas are building on .Ash land bay what will be the biggest saw mill on Lake Superior. It will be a two band, gang and ,l*esaw and there will be a lath mill and shingle mill In con nection. .The Murray Lumber com pany's mill will be ready for operation Utyxil i.-' .That will jiaira Ashland bay with ^season capacities averaging from 35,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet. Ashland is developing to a front rank position as a lumber manufactur ing center. Another .matter of general interest and of much importance to Ashland, is the fact that the Holt Lumber com* pany of Oconto and Chicago is estab lishing a large plant there for dressing lumber, together with ample wholesale and retail yards for distribution. Here tofore the company shipped the lumber in the rough to Oconto or Chicago to be dressed. The company is' going to send a number of car ferries and scows from Oconto to Lake Superior the com ing season, which will be used for transporting lumber and logs. The company will have its logs sawed by contract and will have no mill of its own. The car ferries ae, as their name indicates, designed to transport loaded cars from one point to another. How extensively, or where on Lake Superoir theBe car ferries will be operated in conjunction with the port of Ashland I cannot say at present. The Holt Lum ber company also contemplates estab lishing a pulp mill at Ashland. "Ashland has never experienced such good times as now. There are not enough houses there to accommodate the people that are going there and building will be active this season. Real estate is quite active as a result of the excellent business conditions. There Is one great draw-back—there is not go ing to be enough men this year In the Northwest to do the work." Orphans in India. NEW YORK, March 29.—The Rev. J. E. Abbott, of the American: board of foreign missions, now in this city, has received the following cable from the Marthi mission, laboring in the famine districts of India: 'Bombay, March 29.—Many thou sands of children in the whole famine area are orphaned and deserted. The Marthi mission is prepared to care for 2,000 children if their support can be guaranteed." Fear More Demands. LONDON. March 30.—The Yokohama correspondent of the Times says: It is feared that other powers will follow Russia's example in demanding a lease of territory near Masampo. Miners' Strike Ended. INDIANAPOLIS, March 29—The state labor commissioners lmve been informed that the. strike of miners in Itidianan is ,at: an end The "union now prevails throughout the state and there are nO miners on strike. •. ^.Ahdnct a Reformer. LONDON, March 30,—The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times says: Kwori-Yti-Pui, a member of the .Chiuese Reform party, was -recently abducted from here and taken to Can and Gaard Entrance to Xiearagaan Water. At the time when ^discussion'is rife as to the question of fortifying the en trances to the projected Nicaragua canal, nature has raised a powerful bastion in the track of the contemplat ed waterway, as if jealous of the en croachments of man in her domain. In the center of Lake' Nicaragua' is the Island of Ometepec. upon which stand two of the most formidable vol canoes in Central America—Ometepec and Madera. It has been often aserted by those familiar with the country, among whom may be mentioned General Na une, vice president of the Central De Gautemala railroad, and for 50 years a resident in Central America, that one of the chief difficulties, to be encoun tered, If not in building, at least in maintaining the locks and other neces sary massive structures, will be the tremendous earthquakes which at in tervals shake the- surface of the. land. In this respect, while scientific observ ers note in dammed' up waterways and other evidences the violence of prev ious seismatic disturbances, even the casual glance of a tourist cannot fail to notice the fact that there is scarcely a two-story adobe house in the country which does not bear unmistakable signs of the same difficulty to be overcome. Only as late as June, 1883, Ometepec, opening a new crater, continued for days to belch forth a fearful torrent of mud, ashes, lava and rocks. This eruption was?accompanied by incessant rumbling and earthquakes, in conse quence of which the whole population efld to the mainland and the island that for centuries had ben under cul tivation, was entirely devastated. At the head of the lake, too, grand old Momotombo rears its lofty cone 7.000 feet above the sea level. Unlike Ometepec and Madera, at the first signs of whose outbreaks the natives flee in terror, the continued eruptions of Momotombo are regarded as a safety vent, a good omen—its grim silence foreshadowing, by tradition, and ex perience, earthquakes that will rend the face of the country in all direc tion. By the superstitious natives Mo motombo is even regarded with venera tion dueto deity. Doubtless modern engineering skill can overcome difficulties regarded only a few years ago as superhuman, yet whether Ometepec and Madera can be successfully tamed and their eruptions regarded merely as interesting spec tacular phenomena for future tourists through the canal to gaze upon, re mains to be demonstrated.—Washing ton Post. tiome For Her Daughter. LONbbN, March 30.—The queen has granted White Lodge, Richmond park, Surrey, the residence of the late Duke of Teck, to former Empress Frederick of Germany. Fifty Thousand Dollar Fire.
