'September ¡}a RIOT AT LEADVILLfc. Threatened Assault of Mtrlklni 11 g lina Begun. A M in er« A FULL OF D Y N AM ITE S t a r t l i n g I H n c o v e r y M a d e in cago L o d g in g -H o u se . a C h i Chicago, Sept. 22.— Joseph Bestmau, said by the police to be an anarchist, left at 18 Sedgwick court three years ago this fall, a trunk containing suffi cient dynamite to have destroyed an acre of property in Chicago, and to have killed hundreds of people. The disoovery was made by accident. Best- man was not found, but tbe police re ceived information in the afternoon that he is living in Dallas. Tex., and wired the chief of police thereto arrest him at once. Tbe discovery of this enormous quantity of explosive ma terial and tbe story of Bestman him- telf, so far as now known to tbe police, brings to light a tale of anacbistic plot tings snch as Chicago has not revealed since the dark days of 1885. when the existence of the city was threat ened, and Spies and his comrades were swung on the gallows for the bomb- throwing si the Bavmarket massacre. Much correspondence with the con demned anarchists was also found. London and Liverpool are both at the level of the sea An M ACHIN E TESTED. O c U r « C b a n u te’a In v en tio n Hm Proven a l i r e a t Success- Leadvills, Sept. 22.— At 1 o’olock this morning, three heavy explosions aroused the sleepers in the eastern part of the city fur blocks srouud the Coro- nado mine, whiob is the one that first resumed operations, and which was heavily barricaded, and well stocked with provisions and arms. The explosions were followed Dy a fusilade of rifle shots, apparently from within the barricade, and rapid but ir regular shots from the outside, ap parently from a widely scattered at tacking foroe, who were on hand to protect the retreat of tbe dynamiters. The shooting lasted for ten minutes, and all was silent for about five min utes, when desultory tiring was re newed and kept up until daybreak. Ten minutes after the first explo sion, a telephone message from the Coronado stated that nobody inside the barricade had been injured. The telegraph office is watohed by several bands of men grouped in dark corners and alleys, and this may mean they propose to prevent any communi cations. The oity is in a panio of fear. County and oity officials are out look ing after tbe work of tbe police and sheriffs. Bullets frequently whistle over the office from which this message is being sent. At 2 o’clock a fire has broken out and is believed to be tbe oil tanks in side tbe barrioade at tbs Coronado sbafthouse. A telephone message just reoeived from tbe mine says that none of the defenders have been hurt as yet. 2:10 A. M.— The sights aud sounds beggar description. A ll tbe whistles in tbe oity are blowing, and two or three steam sirens add disoord to the dark night’s alarming ohorns. Tbe sharp cracks of rifles punctuate the tooting at irregular intervals. Citizens have gone to tbe scene with whatever arms they can gather, and a militia oompany has just marched to ward the Coronado under arms. The whistle wbiob calls ont all oiti- zens in case of emergency has just sounded, and the streets are full of rushing men, crying women and ohil- dren. 2:15 A. M. — Another heavy explo sion bas jnst occurred. Five minutes ago, the Coronado telephone bore tbe message tbat tbe defenders were too busy to answer questions. As soon as tbe fire broke out, tbe fire department went to the scene and the flames seem to be dying out, indioating effective work by the tiremen. It is said that a fireman named O'Keefe, when he started to tarn on water at the fire, was shot. Shot» are still heard at infrequent intervals. 3:00 A. M.— The first Herald-Demo crat reporter to return from tbe tire states tbat besides Fireman O’ Keefe two unknown men are dead. He can not tell as yet how many have been wounded, and is not sure tbat this is the list of dead. 8:10 A. M.— It is uow reported tbat John Mahoney, who works at tbe Big Four, while on his way from the mine, and near tbe Emmet mine, was shot through the stomach and is believed to be dead. Another mail bad all his clothing torn from his body, bat es caped with his life. The miners' strike, of which to night’s lawlessness is the ontcome, be gan three months ago yesterday, when at 11 o’clook at night the men in two or three of the leading mines walked ont. The union scale of wages in l.eadville was (3 for everybody, but in 1893, when the price of silver dropped below 60 cents an ounce an agreement waa made that (2 60 should be accept ed for some classes of work until sil ver should return to 83 cents. This agreement the miners afterward de clared was unfair, as many of the mines paid large dividends. It was to enforce the original scale of (3 that the men struck. About 3,000 men were involved. Within the last two weeks several mines have resumed work, and this week the output has been 1,200 tons daily, against 2,000 tons before tbe strike A dipsacth from Denver states that Governor McIntyre has ordered ont the entire state militia to quell the riot.

Weyler to Commence a Vig orous Campaign. D EA TH -D EA LIN G O ver F ifte en M ilita ry Jo in Y E L LO W FEVER H undred ratie n ti H o sp ital« —G u e r r illa Insurgent« tu the Force« and L o o t the T o w n . Havana, Sept. 21.— There was mnoh animation in the captain-general’s pal ace yesterday. General Weyler hied a conference with various commanders of oolumns. also with the commknding officer of marine and aud the chief of the medical department. These con ferences are the precursors of an ap- proaobing campaign, which is intended to be vigorous aud resolute. Captain-General Weyler w ill assume personal command at Pinar del Kio, Ahumida and Palmeroa, taking charge respectively of military and political affairs at Havana. Among other meas ures General Weyler thinks of adopt ing as a prelade to the campaign is the revocation of the edict of pardon, oblig ing families having connections in the ranks of the insurgents to move into other provinces, and making concentra tion in villages obligatory, oonsidenng all persons found in the country as ene mies or supporters of the enemy. Captain-General Weyler's order re cently issued putting line offioers in command of regular guerilla and vol unteer foroes, is bitterly resented and in oonsequence thereof many desertions are occurring. A t Sagua la Grand, where Captains Ir gyen aud Quintero, of the regular army, were lately appointed, one third of tbe men have disappeared. AtCam- rons, a Santa Clara town, the 1 cal Spanish guerilla went over to tbe en emy in a body a few days ago, and re turning with the insurgents, assisted the latter to capture a government fort in the suburbs. They then raided the town, looted stores and ransacked vari ous private residences, seized tbe loual archives aud carired off the muuioipal seal. A t Bayamo, Santiago de Cuba, a mounted Spanish guerilla force armed with Mauser rifles at the expense of Bayamo merchants, recently went over to tbe rebels, joining Calixto Garcia. The captain is s nephew of Garoia, and obtained his commission from Martinez Compos, former captain-general. According to tbe latest information Maceo has moved south of his former position. No steps w ill be taken to follow him until the commencement of the concerted operations above referred to. Captains Carrerez and Oliverette, of the Sanga la Grand guerilla forces, who have long been the terror of resi dent naturalized aliens and native paci- fleos of that vicinity, have been relieved of their commands and both thrown into a local fortress to await coart- martial. Carrerez is alleged to have oaptured and abot prisoners of war, as well as pacifloos,without the formality of a trial. According to the official returns, the number of meu suffering from yellow fever in the military hospitals throughout the islands is 1,555. The death rate is said to be nnder 15 per cent. La Luoha, this afternoon, says the governor of the Spanish bank is re sponsible for the actual monetary con flict He went to the palace yesterday in order to confer with Captain-Gen eral Weyler, bnt was unable to see him. and it is rumored the governor of the bank has been dismissed. BOARD OF Chicago. Sept. 21.— The first free test of Octave Chanute's albatross soaring machine, invented and oou- struoted by W illiam Paul, was made at M iller, Ind., last evening nnder fa vorable conditions, while the maohine was heavily loaded with ballast, so as tu prevent it from flying any great dia- tauce, and w as anohored by four ropes, each 200 feet long. The three points whiob the trial was to deoide, first, as to whether it would leave the chute evenly; second, whether it would right itself in the air; third, whether, when it commenced to descend, it would move downward slowly and alight easily,were all determined in a manner gratifying both to tbe inventor and owner. The flight was less than 100 teet, bnt the descent and final alight ing on the sand were as graceful and •H u as tbongh the bird from which the machine was patterened. The trial proved the machine perfect ly safe, a proof which was the more acceptable, inasmuch as it has been asserted tbat the maonine was danger ous and that an attempt to fly would be sure to result in death to tbe operat or. Another test w ill be made soon M ICH AEL, K a ilw a y« Olympia, Wash., Sept. 21.— A ttor ney Grosacup, of Tacoma, representing the Tacoma Railwav & Motor Com pany, appeared before the state board of equalization today and oalled atten tion to the fact that the cable roads in Seattle were assessed at (4,000 a mile, whereas in Tacoma they were assessed at (16,000 a mile, and asked the board to adopt measures to equalize these values. Mr. Grosacup, while here, learned that tbe state board was not officially cognizant of the number of miles of any street railway or the rate per mile at which it was assessed; that wr-en the board made the state levy it simply determined what amount each oompany shonld pay, and the oounty auditor computed tbe amount dne from his connty on the basis of tbe assess ment, as equalized by the county board.

New York, Sept. 21. — James Michael, the Irish wonder, smashed all the American records for one-hour com petition (paced) raoe this afternoon at the first annual national oironit meet ing of the Quill Wheelmen at Manhat tan beaoh. Twenty-seven miles and l,u9U yarns stands to the credit of the foreigner lor one hoar, but Frank Star- buck, of Philadelphia, waa only thirty yards behind him at tbe finish, and only for some bad blundering on the part of his pacemakers shortly after the fifth mile, would have given Michael the raoe of bis life. Starbnck •ust a little mure than a half mile in the early part of tbe oonteat by having no pacemakers, bnt in tbe last twenty minutes even at tbe terrifio gait both were traveling, succeeded in not only passing in. competitor as they spun around tie- track, bnt bad nearly oaugbt him at the finish, having gained over a lap and a half. Some of the credit of this wonderful exhibition of endurance and speed was due to Starbuck's pace makers, who evidently tried to make up for their early blundering, aud in a gieat part succeeded. THREE FASTEST HEATS. K ein a rkab l« P srfo riiisiic so f S tar P o in ter a t M y « tic P o in t . Medford, Mass., Sept. 21. — Star Pointer, at Myatio Point, this after noon, not only beat two accredited faster horses— Robert J. (2:01 N ) * n<l Frank Agan (2:0834)— but paoed the three fastest heats ever made in compe tition, tbe time being 2 : 0 2 2 : 0 3 1-3 and 2:03^4, an average of 2:03*4'. He also lowered the world’s record for the fastest beat ever paced— 2:02 4 — as well as the reoords for the fastest quar ter and half— 29% and 59%, respec tively. Tho race between the three pacers was phenomenal, for, while in the first heat Robert J. was beaten by ten lengths, in the next two he was close on the leaders, coming in second in the third beat. Frank Agan in tbe whole race was never a length behind, and at one time was a nose to the good. Star Pointer, however, man aged to go nnder the wire first in every beat, and must have bad something in reserve, for McCarthy never raised hif whip in tbe three times. K ILL ED E Q U A LIZ A TIO N .
