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.

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

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

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 21.— A ttor

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.

Twenty-seven miles and

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

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.

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.
