FREE TO SUPPORT SEWALL THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE NOT WILLING TO DESERT HIS RUNNING MATE. STANDS ON CHICAGO PLATFORM. Bryan Says He Will Not Undertake to Defend Any Other Prin ciples This Year. CHICAGO, July 26.— Among those who returned from St. Louis today was a gentleman who saw and read the suppressed dispatch from Mr. Bryan to Senator Jones, chairman of the na tional Democratic committee, He possesses a fairly good memory and j gives the following as the substance j of the document about which there was so much talk and excitement during the last days of the Populist conven- | tion. What is subjoined may be relied ! upon as being substantially what Mr. j Bryan wired: Considering all the circumstances and con- i ditions, I have concluded that the Populist j convention should not consider my name for j the presidency, but if determined to nomin ate me, notwithstanding this declaration, that j there may be no misunderstanding, I desire, in advance, to say that I shall not, during the campaign, discuss any other issues than those outlined in the Chicago platform. I de sire, above everything else, to be instru mental in having enacted into the laws of the United States the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 without awaiting the consent of any other country. The Republican platform adopted at St. Louis asserts that the bimetallic system should be restored, but that the American people are helpless to bring about bimetallism for themselves, until foreign nations are will ing to assist. The American people cannot afford to surrender the right to legislate for themselves on all questions, and so long as the right is disputed, it surpasses all others in importance. The Populist olatform presents several new issues, to discuss which, during this cam paign, will, in my judgment, endanger the success of our cause. I am not willing to be a party to anything which will divert atten tion from the money question. Nor am I willing to be placed in the attitude of secur ing help from other political organizations by sacrificing my associate upon the ticket. He is as squarely upon the Chicago platform as I am myself, and he has defended the cause of bimetallism against much greater opposition than have the men of the West and the South during the campaign. It is due to myself and the Populist convention that there should be the most outspoken frankness between us. "To this dispatch," said the gentle man, "there was attached a postscript requesting that the statement be read to the convention before the ballot was commenced." Why the dispatch was not read and the reasons for the objections of Sen ator Allen, chairman of the convention, to its reading, have been given in the dispatches from St. Louis. CLOSING ITS AFFAIRS. Old Populist National Committee to Go Out of Itnsim-ss. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 26.— Almost all the delegates to the national Populist and Silver conventions, which met in this city last week, have left for their homes, and nobody re mains except a few of the leaders of both parties. A majority of the delegates went out on last night's trains and others at vari ous times today. Among those who are still here are ex-Chairman Taubeneck and ex-Sec retary Turner, of the Populist national execu tive committee, who will remain long enough to close up their headquarters and transact whatever business they may have in regard to convention matters with the Business men's league. Chairman Butler and Secre tary Edgerton, the new officers of the Pop ulist national committee, appointed last week, and a majority of the members of the com mittee are still at the Lindell hotel. They held a metting today, but little elsce than to talk over the situation was done. Late to night a statement was issued over the sig nature of Chairman Butler, outlining the pol icy of the party. Of the Silver national committee, Chairman Lane and Vice Chairman Stevens are still . in the city, as is also G. W. Thompson, a member of the notification committee. It has not been decided when or where Bryan and Sewall will be notified of their nomination as standard bearers by the new silver party. Messrs. Lane, Stevens and Thompson will meet tomorrow to confer in regard to this matter, and some action will probably be taken then as to time and place. An execu tive committee of the silver party has not yet been appointed, and until the headquarters have been established, this will not be done. Organizer Keeney, of California, has been recommended for a position on the Demo cratic executive committee, and will prob ably be appointed. A meeting of the national executive com mittee will be held tomorrow. H. E. Taub eneck and W. H. Turner, retiring chairman and secretary, respectively, will also be pres ent, to close up whatever business remains unfinished and turn the affairs over to the new committee. The matter of notifying the nominees of the convention will come up at the meeting of the committee, which will probably decide as to the time and place. JONES SAW BRYAN, But No Statement Was Given Out for Publication. LINCOLN, Neb., July 26.— Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Dem ocratic national committee, arrived from St. Louis at 3:25 p. m, over the Rock Island. From 5 o'clock until 9 o'clock p. m. t the chairman and Mr. Bryan were closeted in the latter's parlor. When they emerged Mr. Bry an assured the press representatives in waiting that there was nothing to give out. "We have been discussing plans, but we have decided upon nothing that can be given to the public," said Mr. Bryan, as he entered the carriage to accompany Senator Jones to the sta tion. The latter departed at 9:15 for Jefferson City, to counsel with Gov. Stone, of Missouri, before proceeding 1 to his home. Gov. Holcomb returned from the St. Louis convention today and was a party to the conference for an hour or more. Senator Stewart was expected here today, but he did not put in an appearance. CAN'T GO SILVER. Maine Democratic Nominee Decides to Pull Out. PORTLAND, Me., July 26.— Hon. E. B. Winslow, Democratic candidate for governor, made public two letters to day. One notified him of his nomina tion as governor by the Democratic state convention. In this letter the loyal support of the Democracy of Maine was pledged to Mr. Winslovr. To this letter of notification Mr. Wins low replied as follows: Your letter informing me of the action of the Democratic state convention, which niade me the unanimous choice of the convention as a candidate for governor, to be voted for at the approaching election, was duly re ceived, aiid in reply I would say I deeply feel the l.onor conferred upon me. and I am profoundly grateful to the Democrats of MrJria for the confldenec they pliee in me al piacinfc me in nomination as their standard bearer. TTie platform for a gold standard is plain, and it was upon that platform that I w-s nominated, and I could not, even had I so sesiied. accept this nomination under any other circumstances than to stead firmly MONDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1896. upon the platform made by the Democratic party of Maine. The Democratic national convention adopt ed a platform declaring for the free and un limited coinage of silver, and there was a strong pressure brought to bear to have me announce myself in favor of the national convention, which I did not consider was right to do. There have been many expres sions 'on the part of the Democrats of Maine in regard to my duty, but it has been plain to me at all times that there was but one thing for me to do, and that was for me to stand firmly by the Maine platform. Since the Democratic national convention it has been thought advisable to hold some meetings of conference with the members of the state committee and the leading members of the Democratic parety, that full and free expressions might be obtained, and it was plainly shown that a wide difference of opin ion existed, and many of the Democrats of Maine thought it my duty to come forward and indorse the Democratic national plat form. I have given no expression up to the pres ent time as to what I should do, but have given the matter a great deal of thought and study, and see but one thing for me to do, and stand as I wish to with the people of Maine. That is, to decline the nomination so kindly tendered me, and I assure you that no one regrets this more than I do. It is very evident from the free expressions of opinion that if I wish to secure the vote of the Democratic party I shall be obliged to harmonize wty.li both gold and sil ver platforms, and that I cannot under any circumstances. —Edward E. Winslow. POPS ARE SPLIT. Factions Not Likely to Get Back: Tog-ether. Special to the Globe. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 26.— Owing to the lack of Sunday connecting trains In the country, many Populist delegates remained here today, but this evening finds them all gone. The talk of the day among the Bryan men is that they will vote for Bryan whether he declines or not, and middle-of-the-road leaders declare they will not vote for him, whether he accepts or not. There is appar ently an irreconcilable split in the party. The Minnesota and Dakota delegates all left this noon. HASXA'S LABOR RECORD. He Admits That He Has Had a Few Strikes. CLEVELAND, 0., July 26.— Chairman ' Hanna, of the Republican committee, will J start for New York tomorrow evening. He i goes to arrange for the opening of the Re publican headquarters in that city. Mr. Han na was asked today if anything definite had been arranged as to the plans of the cam ! paign. "Nothing definite," was the reply. "That is part of what we shall discuss at the New ! York meeting. Nothing will be settled upon j until the New York meeting is held." A story was published here yesterday to ] the effect that Mr. Hanna had arranged to meet the president of the Central Labor union for the purpose of discussing the for mer's record as an employer of labor, and that the labor union's president had refused • to meet Mr. Hanna. As to the truth of the j story, Mr. Hanna said he had been asked by a reporter if he was willing to meet Mr. Witt, of the Central Labor union, and he had re- I plied that he was willing to do so. The ques tion was asked because the Central Labor union had propounded to Mr. Hanna a series | of queries affecting his relations with labor. Mr. Hanna said he heard nothing more about the matter, and Mr. Witt failed to call. That I was all there was to it. "Those questions," said Mr. Hanna, re ferring to the queries propounded by the la j bor union, "contained insinuations. Their purpose was, of course, antagonistic to Maj. McKinley, and they sought to connect me with various strikes, by implication and insinua tion. They undertook to connect me with the sailors' strike here of three years ago. I j had nothing to do with it. My brother, H. ! M. Hanna, was at that time president of the Vessel Owners' association. The questions also insinuated that I had to do with a miners' strike in Pennsylvania. Our firm has an in terest in a mine there, but was not in control and we had nothing to do with the manage ment of it. In point of fact, I have been em ploying some 5,000 or 6,000 men for the last eighteen to twenty-five years, and have had a number of strikes. It would have been strange if, under the circumstances, I had not. But I have not been endeavoring to make political capital out of the fact, for or against." _ ADVANCE REPULSED. Nicholson Held Back by Matabeles at Huliiwnyo. LONDON, July 27.— The following Bulu wayo dispatch has been received by the Chronicle: Nicholson patrol, 300 strong, was i checked yesterday in a narrow gorge in the I Matoppo hills. The enemy, In great strength, occupied an impregnable position, and they were fully equipped with rifles and ammuni tion. The straightness of their shooting was remarkable. The Cape boys, with Nicholson's patrol, cleared the heights, killing twenty of the rebels, but a gallant attempt to force a ! passage was checked by a heavy fire from I the cave studding the mountain. Nicholson lost five troopers and two cape boys. He therefore withdrew his forces and returned to the camp. The Daily Telegraph also has a dispatch from Buluwayo, which says: Gen. Carring ton is raising a volunteer force of fifty men. He fears that nothing is sate here. Cecil j Rhodes has arrived here. Lalng's recent fight south of the Matoppo hills, in which the I Matabeles were repulsed with a loss of ninety killed, was with Lobengula's crack regiment, which had been carefully trained in European methods of warfare after the conquest of Matabeleland. Another Buluwayo dispatch says that in consequence of the repulse of Nicholson by the Matabeles the imperial troops have been telegraphed for. . $10,000 VERDICT Rendered in a Libel Case in Cali fornia. SAN DIEGO, Cal., July 26.— The jury In the Hearne case, which has been on trial for several days past, came into court shortly after noon today, after being locked up all night, announcing a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing his damages at $10,000. The action has been tried once before, the jury (hen failing to agree. The plaintiff in the case is Dr. J. C. Hearne, of this city. The defendants are M. H. De Young, proprietor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, and J. F. Blount, formerly I that paper's San Diego correspondent. The I article which formed the basis of the suit j was sent from this city in August, 1894. It was construed by Dr. Hearne and some of his friends as implicating the doctor in the mur der of Amos J. Stillwell, at Hannibal, Mo., in December. 1888. Subsequent to the publica tion of the article Hearne was indicted for the murder, tried and acquitted. CORN IX DEMAND. Enormous Sales Being Made at Kan sas Points. WICHITA, Kan., July 26.— The week just closed has witnessed the liveliest grain trade in Southern and Central Kansas that these sections have experienced in five years. Just now the bulk of the old corn from this sec tion is going to St. Louis and New Orleans, but dealers from Northern, Western and Southern points are all buying heavily. The shipments, while enormous, do not in any sense represent the business done, as a very large amount of corn has been contracted for, but Is held awaiting cars. A great deal of the corn is in unroofed cribs, and on ac count of the recent heavy rains It is too wet to shell. -ae»~ COMPROMISE OFFERED, Which Striking Employes of Brown Works Will Accept. CLEVELAND, 0.. July 26.— 1t Is believed by the leaders of the strike at the Brown Hoisting works that terms of settlement be tween the men and company will be agreed upon within a day or two, and that work will be resumed before the end of the week. Propositions have been made which are likely to be accepted, but the locked out men refuse to give the terms of the settlement. .««*_ SPAIN ARMING. Is in a. Hurry to Build Iji a Navy. LONDON, July 27.— The Times has a dis patch from Madrid as follows: It is stated that the government has paid the enormous price ol £700,000 each for the two war vessels recently bought at Genoa, while a contract has just been given for two torpedo boat de stroyers at £60 000, which was dearer than the tender of a first-class English firm, on the grouDd that quicker delivery wou'.d be secured. Nothing short of a panic can ex plain such extravagance. BIG DULOTH BLAZE A SIXTY-THOUSAND-DOLLAR LOSS CAUSED BY A SAW MILL FIRE. DOCKS NARROWLY ESCAPED.

Christie had secured a piece of small rope somewhere, and, mounting a stool, had attached one end to a water pipe which passes along the gallery surrounding the cages in the jail and the other end around his neck. He had also fas tened a towel around his face, cramming a portion into his mouth, to prevent any noise escaping which might alarm the sheriff. Tak ing a clean shirt, which had been given him in the morning, he placed it over his head as a hood, and, with his suspenders, fastened his hands behind him. Then, kicking the stool from under his feet, he saved Clark county the costs in trying his case., FEST AT AN END. Dnbnqne Saengerfe«t Closed With an Imposing 1 Parade.

GOLDEN, Col., July J6.-A large gang of workmen began repairing the Gulf road up Bear creek canon today. Frank Trumbull, receiver, and the general manager and other officials of the road came up this morning.

WHITE, OF NORTHFIELD, COMES IP TO KILL TILLIE SCHRLMPF, HE FIRED FOUR SHOTS AT HER. TWO OF THEM HIT AND TWO MISSED— THEN SHOT HIM SELF, HIS WOUND IS PROBABLY FATAL. Quiet Hnmllne Disturbed by An Ex citing Sunday Snooting— Facts in the Case, H. B. White, of Northfield, Minn., : in a fit of jealousy, augmented by whisky, attempted to kill Tillie Schrumpf, yesterday, and a moment later turned a revolver on himself and inflicted a mortal wound. The scene of the attempted murder and suicide was the front yard of the dwelling house at 1521 Minnehaha street. The neighborhood is a very quiet one and the only excitement which the residents have is the occa sional passing of the Hamline street cars. It was a few minutes before 2 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, when the residents for several blocks around were startled by the sound of half a dozen pistol shots. It was at first sup posed that some of the lads in the neighborhood were shooting off a few firecrackers, but a woman's shrieks told a different story, and a half dozen of the male residents in the block hur ried to the scene. R. K. Evans, who lives at 1561 Min nehaha street, heard the shooting as he was about to enter his house, and looking down the street saw a woman lying on the ground in front of a res idence about half a block away. A man, who was standing about six feet away from her, was doing the shoot ing and did not seem to be at all con cerned. Mr. Evans ran toward the spot, but before he reached there the fellow was on his knees beside the body of the woman and pressing a re volver to his breast pulled the trigger. Mr. Evans by this time had been rein forced by W. K. Moffltt, another neigh bor, and the two managed to disarm the fellow before he could fire an other shot. The wounded girl was carried into the house and the man led to the engine house about four blocks away. Arriving at the engine house a telephone message was sent to the Prior avenue station and Mounted Officer Braak was soon at the place. Dr. S. M. Kirkwood, who had been called to the scene, made a cursory examination of the man's wound and directed that he be taken to a hospi tal instead of the Prior avenue police station. While waiting for the ambu lance to re.ich the place, the prisoner, who seemed to be somewhat under the influence of liquor, talked freely but disconnectedly Tj H wu?. ld the omce *" hls name was H. t . e and that he llved ln North i field, Minn., from which point he had journeyed in the morning to St Paul with the purpose of killing Tillie Schrumpf. He did not seem to be at all worried over his own wound but constantly inquired If the girl was dead. When the doctor attempted to cut away his shirt in order to exam ine his wound, White objected for the reason that it would spoil the garment Hearing the doctor state to a by stander that he did not think the wound a serious one, White said he was sorry and begged the officer to let him have another chance to kill himself. He seemed much put out at his failure to kill bo.th the girl and himself, and repeatedly said he had held the revolver over his heart but that it had shot about four inches too high to reach that organ. Being searched by the officer a pint bottle | about half full of whisky was found in one of his pockets, and in another two dozen cartridges. A note, evi dently writen before he left North field, was found in an inside pocket of his coat. The leter written on a sheet of W. R. Henderson's paper, 1 for whom White worked in Northfield, was en closed in an envelope and read as fol lows: xi M i!i« ,^ ame ls H - B - WhUe - l llve •" Northfield, Minn. Please send me to mine home at Northfield, Minn. White, bemoaning his bad luck in not having killed both himself and the girl, was placed in the ambulance and taken to the city hospital. Ar riving at the institution he gave his age as 39 years, said his home was in Northfield and that he had a wife and five children living at that point. Af ter an examination by the physicians he was placed on a cot, and was not averse to talking. The girl, Tillie Schrumpf, whom he had attempted to murder, he said he had known inti mately for about two years. He had a passion for her that could not be overcome. He left Northfield yester day morning determined to kill her and then himself. The revolver he used he har* brought with him and after reaching the . city at 11 o'clock, had dinner, and then started for the place where the girl was employed with the intention of shooting her and then him self. His story was told to the detec tives and afterward he had a talk with his sister, Mrs. Josephine Snyder, who resides at Fort Snelling. White's wound, while not fatal in all cases, is likely to result in his death within a few days. The bullet, a thir ty-eight calibre, entered the left breast about three Inches above the heart, and although the doctors have not probed for it they are of the opinion that it entered the left lung. At mid night White was resting as comfort ably as could be expected. The girl he attempted to murder, Tillie Schrumpf, was born and brought up in Northfield. She is twenty-one years old, and came to St. Paul three months ago. She sought employment as a domestic, and was employed by C. H. Botkin, as a servant, at 1521 Minnehaha street. Mr. Botkin gives the girl an excellent reputation, and says that while in his employ she had conducted herself in a very ladylike manner. She was a great favorite of his wife, who was in ill health at the time the girl arrived at the house, and recently died. White, he says, called at the house about five weeks ago and asked to see Tillie. The girl was up stairs dressing, and while waiting for her to come down Botkin entered in conversation with White. At that time White said his name was Schrumpf. and that Tillie was his niece. He had been visiting at the girl's home in Northfield, he said, and while on his way to his home in Illinois was obliged to pass through the city, and concluded to visit his niece. Tillie came in the room abont this time, and Mr. Botkin left them together. White, on that occasion, remained about an hour and then left. After he had gone Tillie told Botkin, and also the family, that the i caller was her uncle who lived In Illi- PRJCE TWO CENTS— \ JRJSmni nols. Yesterday afternoon the bell rang and Botkin, who was in the front part of the house, stepped to the door. He recognized White, who appeared to be greatly excited. He asked if Tillle was in, and, as his voice sounded queer, Bctkln says he thought White, whom he still supposed was Tillies uncle, had bad news to tell the girl. White stepped inside the door, and shortly after he heard Tillie come down the front stairs. He heard White call the girl by name, and a moment later the shooting began. The girl ran out of the front door, and as she was running from the stoop to the sidewalk, the third shot struck her and she fell to the ground. Botkin ran toward the fellow, and although he was excited, remem bers saying what are you doing. To this, Botkin says, White swore at him and replied: "I'll kill you, too, you ." Botkin waited to hear nothing more, but ran back into the house, out the rear door and called for help. When he arrived in front of the house again Evans and Moffltt had hold of the man and were leading him away. Botkin, who is secretary of the "Im perial Knights," and has an office at 936 Guaranty Loan building, Minne apolis, sa^s he had no idea until' yes terday that White was not related to the girl. She had ben very kind to his wife in her illness and for this rea son he felt particularly grateful to h^ She had never been in the habit of go ing out nights and, with the exception of several visits to her home in North field, had been at the house all the time for the past three months. Tillie Schrumpf, after having her wounds dressed by Dr. Kirkwood, was made comfortable in the house until the arrival of the ambulance, which at 6 o'clock took her to the city hospital. | She was not inclined to talk about the ' shooting, but finally made a statement of the affair. She had seen White com- | Ing toward the house several minute 3 before she reached there, and told one of the female members of the family to tell him that she was not at home. Botkin, however, answered the bell and told White that she was in. As ! she came down the stairs White called | her by name, and as she reached the j foot of the stairway he reached around | to his hip pocket and pulled out a re volver. She attempted to run out the door, and, as she did, White fired a shot at her. The bullet missed her and went through the door, which was open, and into the wall. The second shot fired struck her in the right arm just above the elbow and -passed through the fleshy part of the arm. The third shot struck her in the back on the left side just above the waist, and, as White was standing on the stoop and she was running from him, the bullet struck the muscle near the small of the back and took a down ward course. She fell to the ground and fainted away. White fired an other shot at her as she lay on the ground but the bullet went wide. He evidently atempted to shoot her again, but for some reason the cartridge fail ed to explode. Supposing that she was done for, White drew out another re volver from his pocket and, placing ii to his left breast, attempted to kill him self. The appearance of Messrs. Evans and Moffitt on the scene, however, pre vented him from accomplishing sui cide. The girl received a letter from White on Friday stating that if she did not leave her place in the Botkin house he would kill her. The letter must have made her fearful that White would carry out his threat, for she told several of the female members of the family, after reading the letter, that it meant trouble. White, she explained yesterday after the shooting, wanted her to marry him, and it was because she refused that he had shot her. She was aware that he had a wife and children, and could not, even If he wanted to, enter into a marriage with her. After having her wounds dressed, the girl asked that the clothing she had on when shot be brought in, and she made a careful examination of the clothes for the purpose, as she said, of seeing if any of the cloth had been carried into the wound with the bullet. When the ambulance arrived she was carried down stairs in a chair, but in sisted that she be allowed to walk to the stretcher. She is of petite but mus cular figure, with blue eyes, fair com plexion and a wealth of light red hair. She did not appear to be greatly wor ried, and said good bye to the mem bers of the family with a cheerful smile, adding that she would be back again in about a week. A telegram was sent at her request to her brother, George Schrumpf, at Northfleld, advising him of the affair and requesting that he come to St. Paul at once. The doctors at the City hospital say her wounds are not dangerous. The one in the arm is nothing but a flesh one, and the bullet which struck her In the back is. apparently lodged in the hip. Unless fclood poisoning sets in, the phy sicians say, her recovery will be rapid. White, who has been employed as a machinist by W. R. Henderson, of Ncrthfield, is a dark-complexioned fel low about forty years of age and has a wonderful constitution and powerful physique, which the doctors say will have much to do with his possible re covery. ■ Mr. Botkin visited the hospital last evening and expressed a desire to have an interview with Tillie Schrumpf, but was told it was impossible for him to see the young woman. Mrs. Jose phine Snyder, a sister of White, was in the reception room at the time, and this fact was conveyed to Mr. Botkin with the idea that he might wish to see her. Mr. Botkin. however, stated that he did not care to see Mrs. Snyder and took his departure. White, in the course of conversation, yesterday afternoon, said he had writ ten the girl and told her if she did not leave her pace and seek employ ment elsewhere that he would kill her and himself, and that he meant just what he said. LIVED IN SORTHFrELD. Something About Both Parties to the Tragedy. Special to the Globe. NORTHFIELD. Minn.. July 26.— AVhite, who shot Tillie Schrumpf. has been employed here by W. R. Hen derson for several years. He is about forty, has a wife and six children. His wife is a nice woman whose folks liv* 1 in Southern Minnesota. White has -a brother in New Prague. It is surmised here that White has been unduly at tentive to the Schrumpf girl for some time. Almost two years ago he board ed with her folks while his wife was away on a visit. Later she was em ployed as a domestic in his family un til White's wife turned her out. The Schrumpf girl has not been here foi about six months until a few weeks ago, when she called at Henderson's warehouse and asked for White. He was not in. Saturday night White drew his pay and asked for $5 more which he got. A telegram was received here tonight from White to a friend saying he was shot and asking the friend to come to the city hospital at once. The dispatch was too late for the evening train.

SHOT HIS OWfl SO(l JOSEPH KABELKER'S SUXDAY TEIU, Mi.VATES IN A SAD SHOOT ING ACCIDENT, AN INTRICATE TARGET R!FL£ FOOLED ONE SON AND COST THE OTHER HIS YOUNG LIFE. SEEMS TO BE A PURE ACCIDENT. Coroner Whiteomb, However, I* Making an Investigation Into All the Facts Accessible. As a result of an exceedingly sad Sunday casualty, the little body of Charley Kadelker, aged nine years, lies at Hurley's undertaking rooms on the West side, with a bullet hole through' the head. The shot was fired unwit tingly by his father, who, crazed with, grief, occupies a cell at the Ducas street police station pending a full in vestigation of the facts by Coroner Whiteomb. Kadelker, who lived with his wifo and several children at 110 Chicago avenue, is a switch tender in the Great Western yards, occupying the tower at the entrance of the freight yards every day from 7 to 6. Yesterday he went home and after supper went with his two sons out on the river bank near Yoerg's brewery, about a block from the family home, the boys I taking with them a small Winchester j target rifle, 22 caliber, intending to practice with the gun along the river. When they reached the river bank, Kadelker asked the boy Joe if the ri fle was loaded. Charley was sitting on the ground a little in front of them, as Joe, Jr., took the loading device,' and exposed what he supposed wag the empty chamber. He had hardly readjusted the mechanism, however, when his father's finger pressed tha trigger, unwittingly, perhaps. The gun was inclined toward the ground, and to one side, and, as it was fired the bullet struck Charley just below the left eye, passing through, the brain, and causing instant death. The grief-stricken parent carried the dead body home and summoned Dr Beal in the hope that life might not be entirely extinct, but it was of no avail. The shooting was reported to the po lice, and Lieut. Cooke placed Kadel ker under arrest pending the action of the coroner. Dr. Whiteomb made a partial inves tigation last evening, and will prob ably not order an inquest, as the af fair seems purely accidental. Kadelker is about forty years old and has lived in St. Paul several years'. He is given a good reputation by his acquaintances. He freely told the particulars of the shooting to the po lice upon their first information of tha boy's death, and referred them for corroboration to Frank Stranski andl Stephen Cernohous, a flour and feed, dealer at 135 South Wabasha street The police inquired of both of these and found corroboration of Kadelker's story so far as the men could testify at all, the whole matter being done in an instant. am .

New York: Tailors Expect to Win, Their Fly-lit. NEW YORK, July 26.— An all-day meeting was held by the striking tailors of this city in Walhalla hall today. Addresses were made by a number of leaders and the situation was generally discussed. The substance of the remarks made by the various speakers was to the effect that no compromise with the contractors should be made; that the strik ers must stand firm and accept nothing but victory. The fact that some of the contract ors who had in the past combatted the tailors have now joined hands with them is re garded by the leaders as significant and is taken as an omen of success for the tailora in their conflict for the entire abolition of the sweat shop system, the increase of the weekly scale of wages and for a fixed weekly toll standard of 59 hours. It is estimated that fully 20,000 hands are now idle on account of the strike in this city and vicinity. Commis sioner Charles L. Phipps, chairman of the state board of arbitration, has visited the leaders on both sides of the controversy, and an effort is now being made to induce all to arbitrate. m • STILLWATER NEWS.

July 26.— The grain rate war which has been waged for the past week will, accord ng to the statements of several leading trgfßc men of th!s city, practi cally be concluded when the next cut in rates is made. This, it is anticipated, will occur within a few days at most. One of the active I'nes yesterday wired from Chicr.go to its local representative, asking what rate would be required on wheat to hold it to Chicago markets as against the Southern ports. The reply was that it would require a rate of 8 cents per 100 flat. It is believed that such a rate will be put in. possibly tomorrow. That rate is less than actual cost, and It is thought none of the lines wiU care to maintain !t for any great length of time. When business is done at a loss, it will be a matter of short time to get the managers In a conference for adjustment. It is useless at the present time to discuss compromise. It is stated ilia fight is to a finish.
