its employes through the officers of their respective orders, or otherwise, that wages or terms of service were unsatisfactory. AH rumors and statements that the company was proposing or had thoughts of replacing Its employes have been false. The company is not responsible for the strike, bv which a larce number of men are thrown out of employment in all Industries, jind the business of the several communities along Its line made to puffer heavy loss. The cnmiany has at all times been willing' to discuss with Its employes, or with their duly authorized representatives, all questions affecting their wages or other terms of employment. "JAMKS J. HILU President. C. W. CASH, General Manager." The correspondent at West Superior telegraphs that there Is no sign of a strike at that point, seven trains on the Eastern Minnesota ((branch of the Great Northern) having started out to-day without any Interference. No trouble Is anticipated there. A dispatch received from Summltt, . MonL, on the Cascade division, says no one Is working on that division, so far as can be learned there. The strikers are said to be well provided with provisions and are sanguine of success. A Devil's Lake special says: "The strikers have prevented any movement of the trains from this point for forty-eight hours. The company, with the help of the crew of the train that was stopped here yesterday, tried to make up a train to-day for the East, but was prevented by the strikers. They will allow the baggage car and the mail cars to proceed, but forcibly prevented the coupling of any passenf:er trains. The baggage car Is exempt from nterference because there is some mall matter In it. A special meeting-of the City Council to-day decided to serve any warrants the company might swear out and enforce them. The strikers are orderly, and have been keeping the peace among themselves. It Is understood that any of them who may become disorderly will be promptly locked up by the strikers themselves." Knicene I)elH Summoned. ST. PAUL, April 15. A Washington special to the Pioneer Press says: "The Northern Pacific & Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern employes have been notified that Eugene Debs, of the American Railway Union, will be here Tuesday.

Principal 3Inttcm Passed on at the etv York Secret ScmIoii. NEW YORK, April 13. The League of American, Wheelmen's executive committee, composed of President Charles B. Luscomb, Vice President A. E. Wilson and Second Vice President George EL Perkins, held a secret session in thl3 city to-day. The principal matter passed on was the condition of the L. A. W. offlclal organ. The Bulletin, which has been having" so much trouble with the postofiice authorities. Tha Bulletin Is published In Chicago, while the league secretary's office Is In Boston, and the fact that subscriptions had been received in the latter place for a paper printed In Chicago made the publishers guilty of breaking the second-class mail matter regulations. it was ordered that Abbott Hassett, who, in addition to filling tne oftice of secretary, is official editor of the Bulletin, shall remove to Chicago at an early date. Meanwhile Burton Whit?, secretary and treasurer of the 'Illinois Division. 1 A. W will run the league office in Chicago. It was decided to make the subscription to the Bulletin entirely separate from league membership, and hereafter the L. A. W. members will be compelled to pay H for a renewal to the ranks and GO cents additional should they desire to receive the paper. All others must ray $1.50 ier year to the official organ.

A. W. monthly publication In the interest of road Improvement, will make its first appearance this week. Iloutl Record HeeoRrnlsed. NEW YORK. April 13. The Century Road Club of America has finally decided to assume Jurisdiction over road racing, and will. In the future, look after the records and trials in a manner similar to the League of American Wheelmen. The L. A.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., April 13. The case of Edward Rudesal, a former resident of Indianapolis, for killing Michael Horen, has been on trial in the Ciicult Court of this county during the past week. The shooting occurred on the Gth of December, and followed a fight in the saloon of John Fitzgerald, in which Rudesal and Chas. Schuessler were on one side and Michael Horen and a young man named Cjulvey on the other. In that fight Rudesal was hit in the face and head, his nos? broken, and he "was considerably battered up. The evidence, as developed so far, shows that Itudesal acted largely In self-defense. It has al.su been shown that Horen, the dead man, was a quarrelsome character, and somewhat of a pugilist. Witnesses testified to Horen having threatened Rudesal. The court room is daily packed with spectators. Iloren's antipathy toward Itudesal se:mel to have had part of Its origin in the belief that Rudesal was a meraUr of the A. P. A. The taking of evidence, it i thought, will close by Tuesday. Rudesal is being d?fended by Col. Dick DeHart and Gtorge P. Haywood. The State is represented by William R. Wocd and Charles E. Thompson. FI2MAI.12 KXIGIIT OF PYTHIAS. Younj?

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 15.-The Paul E. Slocum Woman's Relief Corps, assisted by Slocum Post, No. S3, gave a big campfire last night. The programme was the most entertaining ever seen here by the Bloomington veterans. MaJ. R. H. Hendershot, tho original "Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock," and his son, J. C. Hendershot, were the chief attractions, and to say that the Major's drumming was wonderful is but putting It mild. No such exhibition has ever been had In this city, and the large audience was not only pleased, but surprised, that such music could be brought out of a drum and fife. The Major's Imitation of a locomotive pulling an excursion train of old soldiers to the National Encampment at Pittsburg next September was so natural that by closing one's eyes one was easily deceived into believing the train was really thundering by. The imitation of a battle put the "oM boys" In mind of the days of the war. Some of the best local talent did themselves proud in assisting in the entertainment. It was estimated that there were seven hundred people In the college chapel, where the campfire was held, and a handsome sum was netted to the women of the corps. Mary J. Mulky is president and ..iary J. Spicely Is secretarv of the W. R. C. while W. A. Fulwider is commander of Slocum Post. Burled a Box of Money. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

The so-called bonanza wheat farms of the Northwest and the big farms of the California valleys grew out of transient conditions that no longer prevail the California farms out of the old Spanish land grants and the Minnesota and Dakota farms out of th congressional grants to railroads. The hl?tory of the Northwestern big farms is that the land was purchased from the railroad companies with depredated stock, and cost originally ab ut $1 per acre. The low price of wheat and the higher price cf land have changed the whol? aspect of large farming. There Is no bonanza in the big farm now; it makes but a moderate profit on the capital it represents in avenge crop years, and with a bad crop it barely pays running exienses. it requires as careful management as a factory I believe that we are now in a transition period in agriculture. The lntiuenc? of machinery has been fully exerted. There are no more fertile lands on the globe to b? conquered by civilization and to increase the food supply. With growth of -population will come better prices for farm products. Farm lif 3 will become more attractive. The tendency to large larms will be checked. A hundred acres, even with exclusive grain farming, will afford a good living to a family. Better times for American agriculture are not far off. National Hotel I'liiployen' Alilnnre. ST. IXUI Mo..

LOOK FOR THE STORM

Jackson County Democrats Have to Take Their Own Medicine. Anti-Cooper Men Elected Delegates at Martinsville Further News of Saturday Primaries. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUU. Ind., April 15. The storm of indignation which broke out after the Democratic convention yesterday has been gathering in strength and fury, and it means a general revolution of politics In this county. The time Is believed to have come when the honest voters will rebel. The supposed manipulation of the tally sheet at Urownstown, Saturday, In the Interest of Derment, Is the latest trick to incense the people. The auditor's office, out of th2 nom ination for which the friends of limning claim he was robbed, has for years been handed over from the incumbent .o his deputy. A nomination was always equiva lent to an election, and the business of the office has always been the secrets of the chosen few. If the report of the changing of the tally sheets be tru-?, it is but in keeping v. Ith the method which the gang used a few years ago In robbing Mr. Joseph Kruewel out of the same oihee. At the election held eight years ago m this county Mr. Joseph Kruewel. the jiepubHcm candidate for auditor, carried the county bv six votes. When the official count was made and the result announced a recount was oidered, and the trdly sheets were pat Into the custody of the clerk. A few days elapsed hefore the recount was commenced, in the meantime the tally sheets were doctor d, and the result was that tne Democratic candidate was declared to be eieetv i by one vote. The Itepuolljins were cc tain that their man had been detad and -w:nted out, but their hands were tied and thev could do nothing. A personal (inarrel resr'ted in one of the county oJficial making a clf-an breast of the whole matter, lie s;d that Kruewel had been elected, and. In order to keep 1dm out, the tally sheets were changed so as to ;,ive 'lis opponent the office. The confess on ;ame too late to right the wrong, an i th ullce was -tllowed to remain in the hands of the man who had received It by the fra! 1 which had tun perpetrated by his Mcni-s. AXTI-COOPEIt DHLEHATES. The CoiiKrcftmmuii'M I'rlenris Turned Down nt Martinsville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVXL.L.E, Ind., April 15.-The anti-Cooper Democrats held the winning cards In the convention that selected delegates here yesterday. The opposition movement was started in a way that will make George, W. Cooper wince many times before the next campaign is over. Stalwart Democrats arrayed themselves against hl3 renominatlon and selected the following delegates: J. A. Lewis. It. p. Maxwell, John C. Duncan, John S. Skaggs and E. M. McCord. Three of these delegates were aspirants for the postmastership here, but Mr. Cooper rode roughshod over them and appointed Henry Shlreman. Mr. Shireman is weilthy and has too much business to look after to give the postoffice his personal attention much of the time. Then, too, Mr. Shlreman did not seek the place, but Cooper wanted his influence. The Cooperltes, seeing their "cake was dough." put on their hats yesterday and stalked out of the convention before the delegates were selected. The feeling i3 growing rapidly against Cooper, and fo fnr as hf ard from the delegates throughout this county are open in their antagonism. Delegate.'! were also selected to the State, joint senatorial and judicial conventions, as follows: State 1'1 Henderson. YV. S. Sherley and Amos Ilnrt. Joint senatorial Henry Itlergans.

KXPEHI ECES AT SEA. A IIusc Tidal Wave A Submarine Eruption Mtowcrn of Fishbones. Pittsburg Dispatch. Sailors have more than their till of strange sights and strange experiences. The fact that we on shore hear so little about them is owing to their absolute commonness from the mariner's point of view; and It is only when some accident accompanies the occurrence that, as a rule, we are treated to any details about It. Big waves rank among these experiences. We do not refer to those waves which ate the immediate consequence of high winds, and atmospherical disturbances, but to those single waves of immense height which show themselves suddenly in the midst of a t-e& comparatively smooth. A vessel may he sailing along, in tine weather, and with no swell on worth mentioning, when. Without the least warning, comes sweeping along a wave that towers like a mountain, falls on the deck, and carries away everything movable, members of ;he crw among the rest. The steamer San Francisco was once struck by a tidal wave of this sort in the Gulf stream, and 17:) rrsons swept into the sa and drovnel. In March last all the Crew save one of the barque Johann Wllhelm were wished overboard by a single wave. In June last year the ship Holyrood encounrered another such sea, which is said to have r'scn up "suddenly like a wall," and to have tlooded her decks fore and aft. The Cunarders Etruria and Umbrla have both encountered the phenomenon, and the former had one man killed and several others injured. The case of the Pomeranian will be fresh In the minds of all. Sometimes these waves are the result of submarine eruptions and land earthquakes pecurring in close proximity to the s;a. An English barque crossing the north Pacific met with one of these big waves, and Immediately afterward the ocean seemed to be boiling, and the sulphur fumes that emerged from the water were so powerful as to drive the crew into the rigging. CJearly there was an eruption here as the ship sailed over, and the wonder Is that the great wave did not do more injury. Again, the American schooner Dara J. Ward, while on a voyage to Seattle, Wash., from Copper Island, was sailing quietly along when suddenly she was lifted as if a whale had struck her- bottom, ami then experienced a succession of shocks which cast everytlnhg loose about her decks and knocked the crew off their feet. There were a few big waves succeeding the main one, and then everything was smooth again. The biggest solitary wave ever known wa3 that caused by the Peruvian earthquake of Aug. 13, 1SGS. In no other instance, we are assured, has it been known that a well-marked -.wave of enormous proportions has been propagated over the largest ocean- tract of the globe by an earthquake whose action has been limited to a. relatively small region, and that region not situated in the center, but on one side of the area traversed by the wave. At Arica it was fifty feet high, and enveloped the town, carrying two war- ships nearly a mile beyond the railway to the north of the town. The single sea traveled northward and westward, las height at Jan Pedro, in California, was sixty feet. It Inun -.la ted .the smaller nrembers of the Sandwich group, 6.30O miles away, and reached Yokohama, in Japan, in the early hours of the morning, nfter taking In Xew Zealand on the way. It spent itself finally In the South Atlantic, having traversed nearly the whole globe. A singular occurrence (says the Pall Mall Gazette) was reported recently by the English ship Luclpara. She was about midway between the Cape and Australia when she encountered a hurricane. About midnight of Aug. 4 last the sea suddenly fell almost calm. "It appeared as if the sea was affected by some tremendous pressure," when suddenly the whole vessel, fore and aft, was enveloped in sheets cf dame that rose half way up the masts and overran the decks for threequarters of an hour. It wj?s an electrical storm, and the crew, never having encountered such a thing before, were panicstricken, and very naturally so. They expected every moment to see the masts go by the board. After what must have been a very cheerful forty-five minutes the flames snuffed out suddenly, and left darkness so thick that it might have been cut. Another singular occurrence was that of the bark Peter Fridell, which was olt Valparaiso when a whirlwind passed over her stern, taking away everything movable, sails and all, on the after part of the ship, leaving the forward end untouched. Here was the sharp end of a storm with a vengeance. Almost as surprised at their good fortune and narrow escape must have licen the crew of the barkentlne Fortunate, Which, while on a voyage from Rio Grande to Liverpool, felt a tremendous shock that could not be accounted for untik the vessel was put Into dry dock, when the sword of a swordfish was found to have penetrated some feet into the wood of the hull. Yet another of the curiosities of the sea is the occasional shower of fishbones or the like falling on the deck when many miles from land. These showers are easily explained. The iish are taken up In waterspouts and come down in h. more or less rariJied condition. But perhaps the most awful of all things that can happen at sea is a lire. A severe squall breaking over a vessel unprepared for it, and with all her sails set, is bad, but the experience Is short, sharp and generally decisive; but for long-drawn-out agony there is nothing like a lire, especially if it is among coal, and there is also dynamite or gunpowder In the cargo. ILVItAXOFF CASTLI2 ULILVED. Destruction of the Place Connected iitii Early History of Alaska. San Francisco Chronicle. Further particulars were received yesterday by government oilicials at the federal budding of the destruction by fire of Baranoff Castle, In Alaska, which occurred 'a few days ago. In adiition to the loss of the historical old castle it is reported that United States Commissioner K. C. ltogers narrowly escaped death by the flames. For several years the castle has been the property of the United States and the headquarters of olllcers representing this government. At tho time of the lire Commissioner Uogers was tho only ollicer in the building, and was occupying a room on the second tloor. When he discovered that the building was ablaze he attempted to make his escape. Bushing to the stairway he found that he wa3 t late, for the lower Ioit;on of the i building was one mass of i:re. To jump from the window, a distance of forty feet, to the ground was a dangerous feat and meant the infliction of serious if not fatal Injuries. The Commissioner called loudly for help, but received no response and had finally made up his mind to leap from the window when to his great joy a number of the crew of the man-of-war Pinta arrive! on the scene. They secured a ladder, but It was not long enough to reach the window. Then a starch wa made for a rope to throw to the oomniis.-ior.-r. One was finally secured, and after being thrown to Mr Holers, he fastened it firmly to a piece of furniture in the roo.n. abd with its aid reached the ladder, and then the ground in safety. A delay of another moment would have Wen fatal, for the commissioner had scarcely to-ached the ground before the fioor upon which he had leen standing icu wiui aciaMi into tne nre beneath. There was no time to save any of the property in the building, and a large number of valuable books and papers belonging to th-? government and its representatives were destroyed. besiderersonal property tel-ngin to the occupatits of conslder.tbl'- ili:e.

BaranoiT Castle was In Sitka, and was built ucn an eminence commanding an excellent view of the town and harbor. In appearance it bore no resemblance to a castle, but looked very much like a country hotel. Baranoff Castle and the island upon which It was built derived Its name from the Itussian Governor. Itaranof,. who. in the early part of the century, lived there and ruled the people with a tyranny sdmllr.r t i th;t enforced in Sibri i.

IJut, on my honor, what I call a Kenuir.e piece of pood luck happened to me only once In my life. It didn't amount to much, though It meant much to me at the time.

They had each grabbed for it at the same time, and eacli was bound to get all or none luckily for me. I have often speculated upon what might have happened if they hadn't ouarreled.
