Desha Breckinridge bad a sensational
altercation with James Duane Living

Phoenix Hotel this evening. Livingston
waa standing at the newt stand reading,
when Drcckinrldge came in and bought
a package of cigarettes. Livingston
spoke to Desha, and extended hi hand,
laying:
" lt't all over now : we ought to ba
friendt; shake hands."
Breckinridge, with an angry look on
bia face, replied:
" No, you one-horse scoundrel, I will
not take your band. You profess to be
a man's friend and then stab him in the
back."
Livingston replied to this by saying
that be had done nothing of the kind,
whereupon Breckinridge called him a
"damn liar." Then Livingston etruck
at Desha, and knocked hi glasses off,
following this np w ith a blow on the
neck. Destia reached for hi hip pocket,
and instantly flashed in ttie air tbe long
blade of a big dirk. Both men were as
nale as death. Livingston in a moment
of desperation grabbed at the glittering

heart. The knife went between the
second and third finger of Livingston'
right hand, cutting the third finger to
the bone. Breckinridge seemed to de-
lire no more blood, aud gave Livingston
two strong kicks. Tbe hotel clerkt and
several bystander rushed in and seized
Breckinridge, and at the same instant
Matt Lane, a strong Breckinridge man,
ran up and aaid he would take a hand in
helping Desha. Two witnesses any that
Lane also flourished knife, but Lane
denied this. Livingston waa harried
into tlie wash room and then taken to
physician, where his hand waa dressed.
5 nut Wore the trouble occurrred De
sha and Lane met Judge B. Kinkaid on
Main street. Kinkaid made several
speeches during the campaign denounc
ing Colonel Breckinridge in the most
scathing terms. Jeha Breckinridge
taid to Judge Kinkaid that the election
waa over, aud he wantea to um mm ne
waa a ' damn liar." The Judge replied
that he waa unarmed and did not want
to have any difficulty In the open streets.
Desha told' him to go and arm himself
and he would meet him anywhere or at
any time. He repeated this aeveral
timet. Then Lane, who it a compara
tive atranger in Lexington, having re
cently come here from Mount Sterling;
aaid. addressing the Judge:
" This ia Judge Kinkaid, is it? When
you said decent people would not enter
tain Colonel Breckinridge, yon lied. My
inter entertained him in Woodford coun

.In, Iff Kinkaid aald again he wanted
no trouble on the streets, and that he
was not armed. Lane threw hit coat
back, and taid he wat not armed, either,
and repeated theoffensive language. The
J odge walked away. Later in speaking
of the affair Lane said :
" Yea, I did call him ft
, and 1 will fight bim any way be
wants to: and what' more, if any oi
his friends want to take it up, 1 will ngrit
them, too." '".,'.

Washington, September 24. Speak
ing of tbe additional need of dry dock
for tbe navy, it waa stated at the Navy
Department to-day that Commodore
Matthewa, the present chief of tbe bu
reau of yards and docks, will in hi
forthcoming report recommend tbe con-
atructlon of no leas than five, one of the
nnmber being at San Diego. Cel.. and
another at Mare Island; and he also
favors the enlargement of the one already
at tbe latter place. If tbe two new onea
proposed are constructed ana the one
now in use ia enlarged, it ia believed
these, with the new one on Puget Sound
that la approaching completion, will be
sufficient for the needs of the service for
ome time. Aa for San Diego, its harbor
ia of first importance, as being the south
ernmost one of the Pacific Coast, and it
would also be convenient for vessels re
turning from South and Central America
that need docking. Aa to the size of
these docks, the Commodore will recom
mend that they all be of tbe largest
class because of the tendency to increase
the size of ships. The beam of the Ore
gon and other vessels just completed ex
hibits the tendency to increase the ca
pacity of vessels.

Ing Koelproeal Trade Bolotlona.
Washikoto), September 22. Senor
Maragua, the Spanish Minister, author
izes tbe following statement as to recent
cable reports that Spain bad instructed
him to open negotiation for new com
mercial treaty:
"Since the reciprocity ftrrangements
brisk trade has been carried on be
tween tbe United State and Cnba and
Porto Rico composed principally of farm
products, which runs up into the mill
ions, say an average of $22,000,000 yearly
for American exports. It is as much in
the interest of the United States as of
Spain that the exchange of mutual com
modities should not collapse. The Ameri
can sugar producers do not raise tbe
tentn part oi tne nome consompuou,
and atruggle besides under the disad
vantages of climate, soil and price of
labor. Americans, therefore, need our
sugar, and their refining industries are
largely benefited by it, aa well as the
farming products, which find ready
market for their surplus in Cuba and
Porto Rico. Everything pointa to the
necessity of ft fair and equitable under
standing, even if it ehould not assume
the formalities of a treaty."
Spain baa already freed from duty all
goods which left this country prior to
August 27 last, the date the new tariff
took effect. Secretary Carlisle has de
clined a like concession toward Cuban

United States army, department of Col

long-distance heliograph signaling.
Amnnv the congratulatory messages re

Chief Signal Officer A. W. Greeley at
Washington, and waa sent Dy nenograpn
to Mount Uncom Dahore from here. It

Congratulation, on tbe indetaugame
exertions and skillful arrangement
whereby yon have beaten the world s
record for long-distance heliograph sig
naling by fifty-eight miles. The United
(States has reason to congratulate iiu
noon the American ingenuity and assid
uous exertions whereby its aoldiers have
been enabled to transmit with a mirror
of sixty-four square inches reflecting
surface a message sixty-five miles fanner
than the famous Laurel-Mauritius line
between the Island of Mauritius and
Rivnion with its magnificent apparatus
and mirror of 12,000 inches of reflecting
surface. This record must stand unsur

SOMETHING MUST BI DON.
Alweka May bo mm Bxpenso Bather Than
Source of Bovonwo.
Dsnvib, September 22. Joseph Mur
ray, Fish Commissioner of Alaska, who
has just returned from ft trip to that
country in company with Assistant Sec
retary Hamlin of the Treasury Depart
ment, said in an interview to-day:
"Unlets some steps are taken there
will soon be no fur-bearing animals in
Alaska. The adventurers who flock in
there are rapidly exterminating tha ani
mals, and the companies who are can
ning salmon are no better. Tbe laws
need enforcement, and the government
should have plenty of agents to see that
they are enforced. Fox skins range in
value from f 10 to $200. A party goes on
an island with a supply of strychnine.
Bait is poisoned and the foxes eat it.
They are skinned and a stake is made.
The carcasses are eaten by crows and
the birds die. Foxes that miss the
poisoned bait eat the poisoned bird., and
in ft short time there is not ft fox on the
island. The seal fisheries are fast play
ing out. Five years ago there was no
trouble in getting 100,000 skins. This
year, allowed to take 20,000 skins, the
com pany only succeeded in getting about
16,000. The salmon fishers spread their
nets at the mouths of rivers np which
the fish endeavor to go in order to spawn.
Every one is taken, and as a result there
are no young fish. Unless something is
done soon, Alaska instead of being a
source of revenue to the government
will lie nnable to support even its native
population," - .

DKIID FBUIT TBADB.
War Between tho fruit Dealora and the
Hortlealturlata.
Raw rumrnim. finntemher 22. There
it a block in tbe dried fruit trade, which '.
should be in full activity at this time. A
large section of growers are holding out
for better prices than rule in the San
Francisco market, and to the perplexity
of tbe commission merchants telegraph
orders are being received from the East
at figures that will not permit of their
. nn i ni i i . i : f IV-:
Del rig nneu. Ania conuitiuu ui nuauro
has produced a tension between the fruit
dealers and the horticulturists, which
has led to an acrimonious discussion be
tween the Fruit Produce Exchange and
the California Fruit Exchange, repre
senting the opposing interests. Accusa
tions of deDressins tbe Eastern markets
for the purpose of speculation are made
against the city merchants, while they
charge that the policy pursued by the
country element is bringing disaster on
the industry. This lameniame condi
tion of affairs is well known east of the
monntains, and is being taken advan- .
tage of by orders. :
The growers this season are in a meas
ure independent of the San Francisco
fruit houses. By the formation of local
exchange, they have been able to obtain
advances from tbe country banks, which
they are not called upon to pay at once,
and they threaten through the Cali
fornia r ruit .bxenange to aeai airectiy
with the brokers in Eastern towns at
higher prices than are quoted by the
Fruit Produce Exchange. In the Santa
Clara Valley, Vacaville and Winters dis
tricts they are piling up their fruit in
warehouses. Sonoma, Napa and some
of the Southern counties are, however,
selling through the can r rancisco mer- i
chants. It is stated at the California
Fruit Exchange that the policy pursued
by the local exchanges has been pushed
too far and may lead to loss. The recom
mendation sent ont from the central
body of the local exchangee waa to sell
the lower grades of fruits at current
F rices and to hold on to the higher,
nstead all kinds are being held for an
advance of from 1 tc Scents a pound, ac
cording to the kind and quality of fruit.
The commission merchants say they
have been forced in the absence of or
ders to become speculators to a certain
extent. They assert they have always
furnished advances to the growers, stand
ing the interest and the loss on rejection
of goods on ft falling market, and their
wrath at being charged with thievery by
a Ban rancisco paper xnows no Donnas.
SOUTHERN OISAGBEZMEKT.
Another Effort to Bnd tho Sonthom Fa-

Sa Fbancisco, ' September 22. An
other effort is to be made to adjust the
differences of opinion that have so long
interfered with the amicable relations
between tha Southern Pacific and the
Atlantic and Pacific. Both companies
have appointed representatives, who are
to meet for conference at El Paso next
week. The gentlemen authorized to
speak for the Southern Pacific J. C.
Stnbbe, T. H. Goodman and J. A. Fill
more left for the scene of their labors
to-day. One of the main points of con
tention between tbe two corporations
has been in regard to the granting of
"side riders" to through passengers
without extra charge. The -A-tehison
ana lopexa managers, wno

Atlantic wiuiiuiu,jiiw j
tended that they propose -to carry pas
sengers from Chicago to San Francisco
around by and through.Los Angeles In
stead of Dy the most direct route. A
hssr months ago the Southern Pacific put
in force a rule allowing passengers from
Los Angeles to Chicago to make ft side
ride from that city to San Francisco and
then East by Sacramento without extra
charge. The Atchison and Topeka folks
declared that this was equivalent to ft

trace was struck, with the understand

In consonance with that agreement the
meeting at El Paso will be held next

a smile at the efforts of tha civic author

INTKBIOB DZPAXTafntT PKCIBION. . ,
The Interior Department has just
passed on a case in which a peculiar
fraud is being practiced. Some time ago
a resident of Tennessee wrote to the Attorney-General
stating that last May he
saw an advertisement in a Chicago paper
offering for sale 160 acres of .land in Gov
ernor county, Kan. The real-estate
agent lived atLathrop, Mo., and through
him the land was purchased by the man
from Tennessee. It was then found that
the government owned the land, although
the Lathrop agent had furnished a com
plete deed and abstract of title. Sines
then the same land has been advertised
by the same agent. It is held by tha
Tnterior that, aa the rights of the gov
ernment are in no way affected, there it
nothinsr for the department to ao in
the
premises.
fi
It is suggested, however, that
the attention of the proper authontiet
be called to the fraud with a view of
saying innocent parties who do not take
tne trouoie to maae a moroagu uito
gation of land titles. .
ALL THB LOTS ABB BOLD.
The Interior Department has been no
tified that all the lots in the townsite of
Woodward, O. T have been disposed of,
and the Commissioner of the general land
office has ordered the board lor the town
discontinued. Some questions arose as
"'!??J t
discontinued. Some questions arose as
. which Woodward was situated, would be
approved. The Commissioner says that,
it the officers Insist upon their purchases,
the deeds of lots will be delivered to
them, but the practice is most emphat
ically discouraged.- A strict order has
been granted against the purchase of
lots by boards appointed to make sales,
and when such purchases have been made
the deeds are ordered canceled and tha
lots resold.

to pay $1 a bushel for wheat for the

will buy flour for them instead. These

to make use of it; but, as the Indian!
have raised no wheat of their own, the
other alternative is deemed proper.
