J DAMAGES ASKED FOR BY A SON Ksw Sol Mainly Brought to Claar Him self of th Ctairsei Made by Bla Father.' San Feancisco, April 4. The row' in the Spreckeis family has reached a some what sensational stage. Young "Gas" Spreckeis filed a complaint, in the su perior court this morning charging his father Claus Spreckeis, with slander. This charge grows oat of the suits re . cently begun by the two younger Spreck eis brothers against their father and two older brothers to recover valuable stock in the Spreckeis Hawaiian sugar business and Oceanic Steamship com pany. The suit involving the Oceanic Steam ship company was recently brought by Gus Spreckeis, who inaugurated man damus proceedings to compel the direc tors of the company to call an annual meeting. He alleged that by refusing to do so they , were, keeping him out of his representation on the board of directors. After this suit was filed Claus Spreck eis, in a newspaper interview, said some very rough things about his younger sons. He practically charged Gus with the embezzlement of $250,000 in 1891, while managing the Spreckeis sugar re' finery in Philadelphia. The father also charged that the suit against the Oceanic Steamship Company was simply "a ' piece of blackmail," by which the younger brothers were trying to beat -fcimoutof $2,000,000. The father also alleged that Gus had wasted his money, would soon be a bankrupt, and "would die in the gutter." As a result of all this alleged defama tion, young Spreckeis complains that his reputation and business prospects have been damaged many . thousand dollars. In his complaint he recites that he has actually been damaged to the ex tent of $2,000,000, but that it is not . money that he wants. ' He therefore sues for $300, damages, a nominal sum, as his desire is simply to clear himself of the charges which his' father has so publicly made against him. Nicaragua Canal Commission to Beg-In Work at Once. Washington, April 4. It is expected the Nicaraguan canal commission will Btart for Nicaragua within two weeks, ai it is realized the time at its disposal is short when the work to be done is con sidered. Major Ludlow probably will be president of the commission by virtue of his brevet rank of colonel. He is in London on duty as a military attache of the American embassy and it is believed his thorough acquaintance ' with the British view of the canal project will be of value to the commission. He will be instructed by cable to take the first steamer to the United States and come to Washington. The com mis sion will organize an outline of its plans of operations, then go to New York where a thorough examination will be made of the details for the survey of the .canal, with the purpose of saving time and work in the field. Returning to Washington, the commission will receive formal instructions from the secretary of state, then proceed to Mobile and sail on the United States steamer Montgomery for Grevtown, at the eastern terminus of .the canal. The season will not be well suited to field wora, as there is always an abun dance of rain to be expected in the sum mer months, and the party will have to rough it principally 'on the east side. where swamp angles are impassable on horseback and there are no roads. . The canal company, however, is doing what Highest of ail in L,eavemng Power. it can to facilitate the labors of the com- mission and has already eent orders to Greytown to pat laborers at work chop ping away the jangles from the canal roate. It is believed that with average weather the commission can complete the ronte to Nicaragua -in about two months, and be back in the United States ready to begin the compilation of its reports which mast be ready by next November. FDBIBBB DETAIL!). Bow the Rock Island Robbery Was ' . ; C Bzecnted. Hennessy, Okla., April 4. Two rob bers boarded J,he engine as Rock Island train No. 1 was leaving Dover at 11:30 last night," and covering the engineer and fireman,' commanding them, to stop about 200 yards from the. water-tank. The engineer, who was a little excited, went about a fourth of a mile before stopping. One of the robbers fired at him just missing him, and the ball went through the cab window. Conductor James Mack, not having heard the shot, started to find out what was wrong, and was covered as he ap proached the engine and told to climb in the engine. They robbed him, and were then joined by the others, who had come up to the train. A demand was made for Express Mes senger Jones . to open his door. This was refused, and a fusillade followed, in which the messenger was wounded in the wrist. ; He attempted to escape from the opposite side of the car, but was cap tured by the guard on that side and made to crawl under the train. An at tempt was then made to open the safe, but nothing could be done. Then the robbers proceeded to rob the passengers. . .. .. t; '. ,. When the train arrived at Kingfisher, Sheriff Burtch and United States Mar shal Madsen were notified and carried to the scene of the hold-up by a special train. They found the trail about four miles west of Dover, where Cimarron river had been crossed, and are still fol lowing it.. The robbers are supposed to be led by Dickey Eager, an outlaw, who has headquarters in the Cheyene country. It. the posse comes up with the robbers a fight will probably occur. . P.

At the headquar ters of the Rock Island road it is said that at 11:50 last night, 20 rods west of Dover, train No. 1 was held up by five mounted men, who ordered the baggage man to open the door of the baggage car.

Hall's Cure is the only posi tive care known to the medical frater nity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in ternally, acting directly .upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and as sisting nature in. doing its work.
