Cor,0BAD0 SlMIINCIA, Oil., Sept. B.
The political war between the two
factions of the Silver Republican parly
resulted this morning In the killing of
Charles Harris of Denver.
Hcfore the murder there wan a rush
up the opera house stairs by tin armed
gang of thugs, a fusllado across dosed
doors, a daiilt from the inside to tho
outslda, a melee at the threshold, a
score of shots tired a nd tliun conster
nation and a run for cover. After the
smoke cleared away a dozen Winches
ter rifle with the hardware keeper'
tagsou were found lathe hall, half a
hundred men were disarmed and empty
whisky bottles enough to supply Dodg
City over night in its happiest days
were found, and all this disturbance
of the peace came because Senator
Teller of Colorado and Senator Wol
cott of Colorado differ in opinion as to
whether 16 to 1 is the ratio fur the
coinage of silver.
AFTER THIS ST. LOUIS P.OLT.
Slnoe the holt of Senator Teller at
fit. Louis there had been no consider,
able party in Colorado that has In
dorsed "the existing gold standard,"
but Senator Wolcott, who did not bolt
the Republican party, has been trying
to lead the Republican organization of
Colorado out of the coalition of fusion
with Populists and Democrats. Us
has been getting control of the or
ganization known as the Free Silvei
Uepublioan party, and has been trying
with considerable success to join it
to the regular minority of the Repub
lican party known as the McKinley
Republican party.
Woleott's aim, in separating his
party from the Democratic and Popu
list organization was his own re
election as senator. He has captured
silver Republican organisations in
every large county in Colorado and he
has forced the Teller wing of tha
party, known as the fuNlon wing, to
start contests in these counties In or
der to get in the eonventlou at all.
More than this, Wolcott has captured
the chairman and secretary of tha
state central committee and also a
working majority of thst committee,
and the National silver Republican
committee, seeing the danger that
threatened Teilar. sent Charles Towne,
congressman, from. Minnesota, the na
tional chalruun, to Colorado,
Yesterday, acelng that Wuluott had
the legal organisation of the conven
tion and wa alsmt to tent tt over to
MoKlnley, Towne depoaed the chair
main of the stMe. committee, Hichsrd
Uroad, and his secretary, W. R, Krro

tliu oorner of the street to the foot of
the opera house stairs where they
could hear the uncomplimentary re
marks miidn upstairs conoernlng the
political faith of the Woloott men.
Then they moved a little closer where
they could Join the debate.
Unparliamentary language crept
into the dlMciiftMion; there was a rush
up tho stairs and a soor of guns
clicked ami Joined the discussion,
Teller men uy outsiders fired Urst.
The Wolcott men say Urst shots came
from the iusldt). The doors burst in
after half a dozen bullet hole had
passed through tlimn each way and In

was with the posse ouUlilo tho doors,

W. 8, lloynton, of K Paso county, who
is a strong supporter of Wolcott, and
who knew the condition of thingi
which he was powerless to prevent,
ran to t he hall with a large posse of
deputies and arrested the crowd, dis
arming it. Ho found that the opera
house was an arsenal and that the
guard detailed to hold it was prepared
to stay night and day and fight with
twenty rounds of ammunition. He
took possession of the opera house and
now holds it for the chairman of the
free silver stale committee, who was
deposed by Towuu and who opposes
fusion,
, This man, Mr. ISroad, holds a receipt
antedating any other for the posses
sion of the hall and it is probable that
lloynton will recognize Uroad. lioyn

go after it was disarmed, but he held

Omah4, Sept. 7. The Bee prints the
following excerpt from the reports
sent to the Hong Kong Mall by its Ma
nllla correspondent. They contain an
account of the part the First Nebraska
took in the operation around Manila,
From tk account it appear the First
Nebraaka fired the first shot sent by
the American army into th Spanish
lines:
Within half a mile of tho front line,
I ho natives have returned to their
homes. Here we have peace and war
In congruous juxtaposition and It is

The American troops under Oencrul
Oreene's oommand have invested the
Npaulsh lines frora the beach some few
hundreds of yards inland towards
I'asay. The soldier were marched
out there with instruction to entrench
themselves between the Filipinos and
the Spanish lines and on no account to
fire unless first attacked by the Span
lard. The new trenches are eighty
yard beyond the Insurgent lines, near
er Malete, and the American lines em
brace two houses of JOuropeon design
one said to be the house of tin Kng

FIRST SHOT 11 Y A NF.ISRASKAN.
These operations were covered by a
battalion of the First Nebraska volun
teers, who had repluccd t he First Col
orados in the trenches that morning.
The two bouses in the lines presented
a terrible example of the destructive
effects of the Spanish and insurgent
tire. Tho walls have been perforated
by shot and shell, Everywhere th
woodwork Is pitted and torn by bul
lets. Jn the lintel of one doorway w
counted Hi) less Ulan thirty-seven bul
lets, American wddlers, with their
bayonets and other instruments, were
picking out tho bullets to keep as
souvenirs of the op-rutlons in the
Philippines. There may come a tlm
when these same young fellows will
have become so familiar with bullet
and oilier wurlilte missiles that their
proclivity for relic hunting will dl
uppcar. A portion of a two-inch shell,
some Mauser bullets and leaden pel
let fell to the lot of our party. On
the second floor of the Spanish house
four cement barrels tilled with earth
were stuck through tho wall facing
Malate fort. liehind each barrel
crouched a Nebruskan sharpshooter,
his rifle ready to knock over the first
Spaniard appearing above cover. My
camps u ions had returned to the trenoh
es and the infantry otliccr and 1 were
endeavoring to distinguish soma fig
ures on the landscape, when the man
next to me pulled tho trigger and sent
the first American bullet speeding to
wards the Spanish lines. 1 confess I
could not, see any Spuniard. A minute
or two before a Spanish ofllcer ap
peared at t he broken roof of a thatched
house, Usik a survey of the American
movements through u telescope and
then disappeared from view Just a

get his range, (tut when the Ili-sUhot
wus tired 1 saw no one. although we
seemed to be less than 1100 yards from
the opposite lines. The NebrasUun of

he could distiuguiih the dark form of

from trench to trench, ami presumab
