Blaine. The last plank in the platform was as follows: "While the republicans of Michigan recog-nize the sterling worth and ability of our distinguished fellow citizen. General Russell A. Alger, whose claim to recognition as the presidential standard bearer is familiar to the people of the nation, since his name was first presented to the Chicago convention in 1888, we can safely leave to the collective judgment of the repiesunUtivcs of the pari;' at Minneapolis in June next the selection of a leader who will head the triumphant inarch of our hosts to victory at the polls iu November, pledging to the nominee our un-qualified and unswerving de-votion." The reference to General Alger was 1 with great enthusiasm, and the reso-lutions were adopted amid cheers. The con-vention then adjourned. Nebraska Democrats are Not for Silver. Omaha, April 15.

The McKinley bill is endorsed, and regret expressed that the force bill was not passed. The democratic election law in Florida is spoken of iu bitter terms as dis-honorable, and the platform closes by de-claring that in view of the preseut ballot box law, it is deemed useless to piace any repub-lican ticket in the Held this year, either na-tional, congressional or state.

The state execu tive committee of. the Georgia state alliance locufl?i and auvantares possessed by the city if San Francisco over interior points within the United States the rates on traffic fronf'Missouri river and points thereupon to the siid city of San Francisco are made by wateicompetition and by the ability of San Frajvfteeo shippers to deal at points where the? is water transportation, and said rates miW be met by rail lines, otherwise the said raitad lines must go out of the business andjbandon participation in said Pacific eoasttrsfnc; whereas, the said city of Salt Lakds approached and reached from the Miss uri river, and common points there-upo- i solely by rail lines, and it therefore is nc favored by nature or its natural situ-ali-by the benefits accruing to San Fran-cis- c Ai this defendant on information and beli( alleges that the rates from Missouri rive: common points to San Francisco in no-wise iffects Salt Lake City, or merchants or j aTnhya uarket for its merchants or shippers. Salt Lake City merchants have no tnari ;t between that city and San Francisco, whi i can be reached by San Francisco mer- - ehei s, unless for a short distance on the Soul ern Pacific railroad westward from Og-de- n, ind those points are thirty-seve- n miles nesi r to Ogden than Salt Lake City, and the erchants there also ship directly from the ist to these towns, and any difference in lltes from said common points t Salt Lakl City and San Francisco would not equa the local rate back from San Francisco to point at which Salt Lake City mer-c'rJM- s have a market.

The Denver & Rio (irande railroad, The Rio Grande West-ern railway. The Southern Pacific Co , The Burlington it Missouri River Railroad Co., The Atchison, Topeka ifc Santa Fe Railroad Co The Chicago. Rock Island & Paciuc R. R. Co. The defendant, the Rio Grande Western Railway company, separately answers the complaint in this proceeding, and respect-fully slates: 1 It admits the first paragraph of the complaint. 2 It admits it is engaged in interstate commerce by arrangements with the other defendants, or some of them, for transporta-tion between the points named in the second paragraph of the complaint; but it denies that said trallic is conducted under any com-mo- n control or management of the lines of railroad of the defendant.-- , or the railroad of this defendant and that of any other defend-ants or defendants. 3 Answering the third paragraph of the complaint, this defendant denies that the! rates of defendants specified in the sched-- 1 ules and tariffs between the said Missouri common poinls or any of them, and 8ait Lake City, or between San Francisco and Salt Lake City, are either unjust or unreas-onable, or in violation of the first or any sectiou of said act to regulate commerce. And it denies that the actual cost of the movement of freight between said Missouri River common points to Salt Lake City, Utah, and between 8an Francisco and Salt Luke City, including the elements of cost properly chargeable thereto, does not ex-ceed one-ha- lf of a cent per ton per mile, ou the line of road of this defendant, aud while this defendant cannot state the cost on the lines of the other defendants, on informa-- J tion aud belief it alleges, that it, on thosej lines, exceeds the alleged cost; and it that the charges made and collected ate iaP no case less than three times the cost ofl movement, or in any case nine times the al- - leged est, unless iu special cases on goods specially hazardous and where the charge is j largely tor risk. 4 Tiiis defendant denies the fourth para-grap- h of the complaint, and each and every j allegation thereof. 5 Answering the fifth paragraph of the! complaint this defendant denies the same, i and each of the allegations thereof, and es that the traffic between said Missouri River common points and Sait Lake City, compared with the tariff between the same comm. in points and San Francisco, is carried on under dissimilar circumstances and con-- I ditions. 6 This defendant answering the sixth paragraph of the complaint a:'.' a Imitting the alleged distance between the points named iu said paragraph, and also admitting that Sait Lake City ir- the largett city be-tween Denver and San Francisco, and an important center of trade, denies tlut it is the only important center of trade between the cities last named, or that it is favorably situated or has natural advantages for the supply of a large surrounding country, and admit ting that it has the largest local busi-ness of any city between Denver and San Francisco, this defendant does not know whether it has a larger distribution of inter-state traiHc than other points between said cities, and leaves the complainant to its proof thereof; and this defendant denies that the rates charged to Salt Lake City from the said Missouri river common points are ex-cessive or unlawful or in violation f the said act to regulate commerce. 7 And further answering the complaint, tliis defendant alleges that of the haul be-tween said Missouri river common points and Suit Lake City its line of railroad only includes about 899 miies of the distance; that about 100 miles of said distance is prac-tically a desert with almost no local busi-ness, and other parts of its line is constructed over mountain rang- - and with steepgrades, and that that portion of its line which is in a tillable and settled district is parallel to un older competing 'ine of railway, and that the cost of maintaining and operating Its line of railroad, compared with the amount of traffic, is necessarily greater, aud requires higher rates, to be. reasonable, than on roads with a large local traffic and light grades. That this defendant's road is only a part of one line betweeu said Missouri river com- - i mon points and Salt Lake City, aud there I are other competing lines from the same j points, and all the business is done under ccoanmp' tition, and the rates are as Ijwas they be reasonably made and be compessa- - tory. That in the Utah valley in the northerly and southernlv direction, there are various towns and cities, each shipp ng directly from the cast and west, and Ogden about thirty-- ! seven mile a north of Salt Lake City, and I Provo, about forty -- even miles from Sait Lake City are common a:id distributing points in said valley. That the country east and west from Lake City is mouutuin-ou- s and has n. shipping points except along the railroad of the Southern Pacific and where there is no railroad Competition. That on traffic between Salt Lake City and San Francisco, the line of this defendant only includes about thirty-seve- n mile6 of the distance, and in p.irallcl to another and com-peting line with the same westward eoenec-tio- n and this defendant further alleges that traffic from the Missouri river common points to San Francis) o is conducted under the com petion of several routes, some of which are not within the provisions of the said not to regulate commerce and the car-riage is at unreasonably low ration, a id not under siniliar circumstance and cc n lition with traffic to Sait Lake City. That the eitv of Salt Lake. Utah is an inland city which does not enjoy the natural advantage afford d by a 'sea-por- or one situated t town, upon an important or navi-gable river; that the said Salt Lake Citv, by reason of its natural location does not enjoy j any of the natural benefits accrueing to cities situated upon the ocean, or upou im- - i portaut or navigable rivers within the boun-drie- s of the United States. Defendant alleges that the said city of San Francisco, California, is situated practically upou the Facihc ocean, and traffic destined to San Iranciaco, California, can bt carried to that point from Missouri river points with cpaanssing over the line of this defendant, and be delivered to the city of San Francisco, California, by through water connection, under circumstances and conditions entirely, dissimilar from those under which rail lines! are operated; that by reason oi the naturall SPRAGUE AT BUTTE. The Convict Counterfeiter ami His Es-capades in the threat Mining Camp A Chapter From Life. A Butte correspondent of the Anaconda Standard unearth one of the missing link iu Counterfeiter Sprague's career of erime and under a recent date has the following to say: Almost every body in the city remembers P. D. Spr igue, the hackman, and his team of claybank horses, as his was a familar rig ou the streets during a number of vears. Sprague came here from the South and was well known to many of the Utah people residing here. In addition to hacking he also for a time conducted a saloon near the corner of Broadway and Wyoming. The saloon soon became the headquarters for a gang of suspicious characters, who were held responsible by the poliee for many burglaries and robberies, but no proof against them could be obtained, and none of them were ever arrested. Last fall Sprague sold out everything he hr-- here, and left owing a large number of bills. Shortly before his departure considerable counterfeit money was floated by somebody and Sprague and a man named Miller were suspected of doing tiie "shoving," but not sufficient evidence to warrant their arrest was obtainable and they were allowed to leave the city unmolested. The fact as soon as they were gone no more bogus money was circulated convinced the police more than ever that they were the guilty ones. A few of the fellows who made their headquarters with him are still in the citv, but the majority at the same time that he bade Butte hire well left. The many creditors of Sprague who are still waiting for him will probably have to wait a trood deal longer for his return, as his imprisonment began only a few weeks ago. , . HAD 2000 DESCENDANTS. Mrs. Roush Dies, Aged 1U5 Years, I.eaviug a Greatest Record in the World. Pakkfrsiukg, W. Va., April 15. Mrs. Annie Roush died at L'tart, a few miles from this city, aged nearly 10t years. It is thought that she was the head of the largest family in the world, and the only woman in this country who lived to see her sixth generation. Mrs. Roush was born at Morgantown, Pa., .Time 4, 1787, when Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson were planning the constitu-tion. Her father was David Sayre. In 101 Mr. Sayre started west, and settled above Pomeroy, on the Virginia side. Here he resided several years, finally moving up the river and crossing to the Ohio side, to where Letart now stands. In 1802 Annie married Henry Roush, and was the mother of thirteen children. The first child, 8a ah, married Thomas Coleman, and became the mother of twelve children. The next, Elizabeth, married Henry Wolf, and hi-- d sixteen children. The third, Lydia, married a Mr. McClain, nd after his death married John Wagoner. It is through her children that Mrs. Roush could trace her descendants to the sixth generation. The fourth child, Annie, had an even dozen of child-e- n. The next four children were girls, and their progeny numbered forty-eigh- t. The ninth died when he was young. The next two were girls and had twenty-on- e children. The last two children were boys and have seventeen children arovnd ttieir boards. The seco.td daughter of Lydia Wagoner, who was Mrs. Rough's third child, married a Mr. Hazlett. Their eldest son, David, is the father of six childrer aud his eldest daughter Mary's child, Nanuie, aged, about 5 years, had the unique distinction of living at the same time as her Mrs. Roush' s grandchildren numbered 135 and the total number of her is not less than 500. The number of her descendants is considerably over 2000, although the exact number cannot be ascer-tained. THE RUSH FOR LAND. Throusrh a Sea of Mud.

The Eace for the Choice Quart r Section Was to the Strong Rather Thau to the Swift. THE WILD RUSH AT NOON. A Moment Before the Restless People Had. Seemed Like Living Mrk. Set to jsliuiv the Boundaries of tho Promised Laud. St. Paul, April 15. Reports from thfl Sissetou reservation indicate that tho weather is all that can he desired for tho opening today, but the conditions underfoot are most unfavorable. The whole country is a sea of mud and water and the race for choice selections will be to the Strong in, stead of to the swift. Several townships are. submerged over large traets. Daylight found the line tilers at Fargo and Watertown. Sunrise also disclosed lontf lines of homeseekers and town site boomers that stretched alonj; the boundaries of the reservation, held back onlybj t soldiers and the f Jr that their claims would be thrown out if they crossed iu advance. So thick were they that the long line of restless people seemed living marks set to show tho boundaries. Major Bernard had laid his p'ans well to give all an equal chance. The various offi-cers compared time pieces and promptly all noon the signal guns irave tho word go. Major Bernard's bugler announced it at Brown valley, and as the notes resounded from the hilltop, the rapid firing of musketry along the line carrled the word to the eager multitude, who started otf at a break-nec-pace for the promise'' laud through mud and slush. The mud had no terrors for thein and the pools of water, even small lakes, did not deter them, if by driving through theru thoy could reach the coveted quarter section sooner. Last night a party of nearly two hundred under the leadership of Oklahoma Charlie attempted to cross Lake T ravers a in tho darkness and gain tho reservation. A drunken member ot the party, however let the matter out. A detachment of soldiers met them as they landed and confiscated their boats and drove them from the reser. vation. Rumor comes from Brown alley of trouble at Wtieaton bridge. It is impossible to ob-tain the facts at nt D 4&Joioj5that. several hundred men went there yesterday determined to cross. Captain Ellis, with 5d cavalry men, was dispatched to the scene and ordered to allow no one to cross. It has been discovered that there was a scheme on foot to secure the consent of the land owners along thu east line f the reservation south of Laka Traverse and Brown's vailey, whoso landa adjoin the reservation to allow the follower of the combination to cross their laud into the reservation and not permit anybody elsa to do so. The towns near the border, io full of Ufa all the week, are now almost deserted. Even those who have no intereots in the lands have gone to watch tha hustling across. At Watertown, all the land lovers have goua, except a thousand who felt secure iu '.he validity of their filings over the claims of sqatters. It is be. lieved there will be trouUe between fllora and squatters over the claims to tho sama lauds. The filers at Watertown lined up early and made filings promptly, but tna work is slow. All were good Matured, how. ever. Brown's Valley, Minn., April 15. Mamia Schaler and Bessie Cole, two pretty Ana. mosa, Iowa, sehoolma'auis, .".re here afte land.

The Sports of Pocatello Will go All Rivals One Better in the Struggle for the Match. THF SPECIAL ROUND TRIP RATES. Is All That Offers Comfort The Fall Tour-nament in the Crescent City Wil-liams to be Alatciied on the Pacific Slojie. Word comes from Pocatello that while the city with the longest purse will name the I place for the fight between Williams and Freeman, the sports of that wide-awak- e place have determined to go all rivals one better and hold the event there. As a source of comfort to the sports of contemporaneous points however, they say they will secure a round-tri- p rate from all points that will enable the ceans to gather and put up their life's savings. While toe rin will be some-what distant for the average sport, a low-rat-e will draw quite a delegation from this city and Ogden. The Utah delegations will go there Dre-pare- d to back their champion for all the money that the high rollers of Idaho can dig. They feel that the real merits of V ilPams have never yet been fathomed or his ability as a pugilist taxed. His victory in Ogden wa.-- achieved, "hands down," his defeat of Sullivan wus a masterpiece and his showing with La Blanche when that tighter was in his prime, have stimulated confi-dence in hirn and the Result is that plenty of money will accompany him to Pocatello in May. The fight between the ponderous colored heavy weights took piace at the Occidental club in San Francisco last night, Bt ,t John-se- n putting out Dave Hatch iu the sixteenth round. A telegram from New York savs Robert Bonner, owner of tue peerless Suuol, 2:0!S, the queen of the trotting turf, last night j said that the great mare would in all proba-- bility be shipped to the kito track at Mead-ville- , Pa., in a week or so. A New York telegram says: The Olympic club has started a project of dimensions more gigantic than tny ever attempted by a pugilistic club. It has already offered for Sullivan and Corbett on September 7th. It now proposes to give $10,000 for Fitzsimmons and Hall, and l0,000 lor Meyer and McAuliffe ; the three fights take place in one week. The plan was suggested y some of the leading railroads throughout the country, who propose to attach tight tickets to the excursion tickets, so that the purchaser will be of a seat before he reaches New Orleans. The report that Jack McAuliffe was rap-idly succumbing to consumption at Hot Springs has been denied by the champion in a message to his mother, to whom he says he was never in better health. If Williams succeeds in defeating Free-man his friends iu this city will urge him to a match with some man of his class in San Francisco. Williams himself is anxious to learn the real strength of his fighting oual-itie- This is the, road to the information. THE COURT RECORD.

In an interview Mr. Cadman. director of General Booth's social redemption scheme (of which, in fact, it is said, Cadman was the real originator), ex-plained that the matrimonial bureau which the Salvation army i roposes to establish will be mainly a commercial venture; that is, it will not be carried on free of charge, though there is a philanthropic spirit under-lying the scheme. It is intended to facilitate suitable mar-riage- s anions; people who have few oppor-tunities for varied acquaintance or 6ocial intercourse. Close inquiries will be made in all cases, aud negotiations will be carried on only ou behalf of persons found worthy in all respects. Rich and poor will be treated alike, and no inquiry will lie made as to the creed of applicants. The bureau will be set in operation as readily for an atheist as for a follower of tho ' Salvation army's banner.
