Howe to file written charges against Wilson
or that ho desired to have the matter adju-
dlcated by the Vlaltlng and Examining Board

Is rtady at any time to receive written
charges accompanied by ppeclflcntlons against
the ability or competency of Commandant

them.

Ing contents will bo found rules and pro
cedure , arma and accoutrements , target

and precedence In making' demands upon the
governor for troops. The proper manner n

MAHER IS ON HAND.
Peter Maher , followed by rang'crj
to the train bearing him from
Las CruceB , N. M. , and accompanied bj
others on . .the trip , arrived here at nooi
today. He 'left the train at the smelter
three miles out. Rangers were posted al
every point from the railway station out tc
await him. A carriage was In waiting at the
smelter , and Into' this Maher , Hall and Qulnr
Jumped , and with 'the hTses on a run ,
reached thli city. Hot after the carriage
came two mounted rangers , wltl ) their horses
flecked wlth 'foam. Maher had evaded them ,
After reaching' Here Maher remained In hid
ing sevcrafhdurs. Then lib appeared upon
the streets Avlth his trainers , making no ef
forts to conceal his movements. The Irish
man looks bettor than could be expected for
a man wliol baa had the "alkali eye , " and
whose tratnlngj has been Interrupted. He
has little to'sajl. M
"I'll be at .tho ringside and I'll make Fltz-
slmmons know Ihe has had a fight , " U the
substance at what Peter has to say.
Everybodynpretllcts a short fight , a hur
ricane battle < from the call of time. Jim
ilall. Buck-.Connclly , J. J. Qulnn. and proba
bly Philip Uonrle will be In Manor's'corner. .
Jack Evcrhart/'tXVIIllam / ' McCoy , Jack Stenzel
and Martin 'Julian will probably care for
Fltzslnunoni : to i.-ii
II/SISJfS / ON THE1 CASH.
Rerlqus.i.qflmpUcaflons may arise over the
payment , pf , ttKmjrso. Julian stated , , yeser- (
rfay , , , . George Slier , the refeiee' that * Vz-
simmons would not tight unless the cosh
was up In SIIer's _ hands before the Unlit be
gan. The mbhey'ls'ready In certified checks ,
but ths ! does not suit Jullan who" wants the
cold , hard money up. Stuart says he will
put up nothing but checks. Julian today re-
pe ted his- assertion , declaring that ho must
have * the money In Sller's hands. However ,
It Is likely that when the time comes Fitz-
slmmons will fight for the certified checks.
Concerning himself Maher said : "My eyes
are much better and I am going
to do the best I can when I net
into the ring. I wish I could have hail better
luck in preparing for the fight. It really
Dooms aa If everything had been against me
In training , but thai Is one of the things a
man must tike chances on In this business.
I certainly expect to win from Fitzslmmons
and I am going right at him nt the first sound
of the gong. I do not think the fight will be
a long one In any event. I will win In five
rounds or less.
"They tell mo Fltzslmmons Is In good
ahapo and I am gfad of that. It will be nil
Lho more to my credit If I win. I see that
Corbott sayo ho will challenge the winner ; I
will give him a chance as quickly as he wants
t the sooner -the better. "
RUMORS. OF TROUBLE.
Rumors are' about tonight that there will
HO trouble at the ] ringside. It Is said tha
some of the Maher party are determined that
t shall be "In. draw or wrangle. " PhouW
such an effort bs made there will sure'y be
trouble. Rcfereo Slier Is not swerved from
< vhat he bellevea to bo fair , nor will Dan
Stuart permit such action. Tlioro are enough
fair-minded supporters of Slier and Stuart to
make such an attempt result disastrously tn
those who nil c lit be willing to undertake
such a move. It Is thought the story started
through some foolish remarks of Jim Hall.
augmented by threats of Jimmy Carrel
against Fltzslmmons and Julian. Carrel
; rled to set Into the Maher camp , but was
turned down. Ho Is bitter against Julian
mil KltzslnimoMs and Is talking too much.
it IB believed the Maher camp haa no such
Dlr.n and would npt be a party to It.
At 5 o'clock tonight a notice was posted
n Dan Stuart's ' offlce. declaring that all per
sons who de&lrcd to witness the fight should
be at Stuart's ofilceat 9:45 : o'clock. It wus
also announced that tbo railroad fare for
ho round trip would not be over , { 12.
Fitzslmmons was to have reported at Stu
art's olllce at noon todny , but did not ap
pear. nor did ho show up , and at G o'clock
void was sent .for him to let him know that
10 was ordered to come over to Stuart's
ofilce at one ? . Fitzslmmons refused to ac
company the messenger , saying that ho
would not coma over until 9 o'clock. Ho
asked If the money was up In Sller's hands ,
and when itdlcHtUat It was not. but that It
was In the tilmpb ot a certified check , pay
able to the order of Thomas O'Rourke , Fltz-
Blmmons replied :
"Checks don't go ; no cash , no fight. I will
bo over of i)1" ) o'clock , and If I am not
shown the money at that time I will not
fight. I will 'riot get on the train until I
aeo It. "
This was ntdcphoncd to Stuart , and the
latter replied : "All rlsht ; I'll ' fix It up. "
Stuart has refi8fd | several tlmea during the
day to have thecliecka [ converted Into cash
and FUzslnyuon has often declared that
there woulcrfye , a decided hitch In the pro
ceedlnga unless llio money was forthcoming.
When the wUrd'was ' brought back that Julian
and FltZBliritilons would not hear to any
thing but tliel cuGh In the hands of Referee
Slier , thcrenwati'a ' mad rush of couriers for
the different banking houses. By a more
chance the praMdrnt of the State National
bank was fpuml.tt This Is the only bank In
the city \vltliout--o - timelock. . Dan Stuart U
good for twice { 10,000 , in any bank In the
city , and the 9ash from the State National
was quickly fprthcomlng. Stuart now has
the money , and IH awaiting the coming of
Julian and Fitzslmmons. '
After the m6ney was counted and turned
over to Slier he tent a second messenger to
I'ltzulminons , naylng that ho had aeon and
counted the { 10.000 In cash , and that It
would bo turned over to him to hand to the
winner at the conclusion of the battle. Fltz-
filmmonB at once declared himself satisfied
and came back with the messenger. He and
Julian reached Stuart's office shortly after
7 o'clock , and Fltzslmmons declared hlinsjlf
reaJy for the fight.

CHICAGO , Feb. 20. Work of organizing
ho Western Passenger association has now
been completed. It was announced today
hat on March 1 next the agreement would
be In effect from Chicago to Ogdcn and
Spanish Fork. The Rio Grande Western , the
) enver & Rio drande nnd the Colorado
Midland wilt then bo In full membership.
Ml of the lines between the Missouri river
and Colorado common points will go out of
daho and Montana business , either via Col-
redo common points or Ogden. The effect
f this will b ? that business between thu
ilictourl river and Montana and Idaho via
Colorado common points ami Ogdcn will bo
outoJ over the Union Pacific system. On
ts part , the Union Pacific will maintain
a tea between Idaho and Montana and Col-
rado and Utah and will refrain from any
practice likely to demoralize Colorado-Utah
atus.
A serious quarrel has broken out among the
ranscontlnental roads over the division of
vhat are known as circle rates ; that Is ,
aten going by one route nnd returning by
nether. The origin of the dispute is thp
cfusal of thn Illinois Central to accept n
ewer proportion on tickets reading from
; I : lea go to San Francisco via New Orleans
nd returning via Portland and St. Paul
han on the tickets returning via the direct
outes from San Francisco. Its refusal In
his respect leaves little or nothing for the
oads from St. Paul or the Missouri to
Chicago. They declare that the Illinois Cen-
ral should not ba allowed , to sell Pacific
east tickets nt short line rates via New
Orleans , but It persists In doing so. A rate
var may b the final result ot the contro-
crsy. _

CHICAGO. Feb. 20. Followlns the action
taken at the meeting of the clothing cutters
and trimmers association last night , about
400 or GOO C'Jtters quit work today , and the
strike may now be said to bo fully on. Prob
ably 100 nre still at work , but these , too , are
expected to go out during Ilia day. The
strike , If continued for nny length of time ,
and It promises to be long and bitterly con
tested , will be f r reachlng In Its effects , as
In round numbers about 10,000 or 15,000 pee
pic ttlll be thrown out of uork. These art
the clothing workers , sewers , etc. , mostl ]
Imrales of "sweat houses. " Most of thcsi
will not , according to the manufacturers , bi
affected for about tvto weeks , as enough inn
terlnl 1ms been cut up to keep them busll ]
employed for thai length of time. But If tin
strike Is prolonged then these , too , will bi
thrown out of work , and on ( his class , mostl :
wonion and children , working lor smaJ
wages , will the greatest hardship fall.
The Issue seems to be practically ot
whether the cutters shall work on the pleci
system. Cutters are paid a minimum salarj
of S20 a weak for a maximum cutting o !
fourteen suits a day. This the manufacturer !
emphatically object to , saying they nre willIng -
Ing to pay the minimum salary of $20 , bul
that the cutters should not bo limited It :
their amount ot work.
In addition to the men who went out today ,
about 200 had previously quit work , making
In nil nearly 800 men already out.
Thli evening action looking to arbitration
of the strike was taken by the Civic Fedora-
tlcn. Under the arbitration law enacted at
the last session of the Illinois legislature
any organized body of citizens may call upon
the State Board of Arbitration to Intervene
In such disputes. It Is by virtue of this
statute that the Civic Federation has In
voked the aid of the state. Public opinion
will be relied upon for the enforcement oi
nny finding by the board. This Is the tlrst
time In Chicago. If not In the entire west ,
that such action has been taken to end n
strike.

CHICAGO , Feb. 20. Attorneys and traffic
managers fcr half a dozen different railroads
were on the rack before the Interstate Com
merce commission today. There was no
formal complaint before the commission , but
Instead the commission was Itself the com
plainant. Last October the railroads com
peting for the Colorado business became In
volved in a rate war and schedules were
made hourly. Coal was the principal com
modity on which the schedule of freight
rates slid with marvelous rapidity from $3.20
to $1 a ton. It was to chastise the roads for
this unseemly business that Induced the com
mission to call their representatives before It
today.
The railroad representative's all threw the
blame upon the Chicago & Northwestern ,
which started the rate war. The following
wure present at the opening of the session :
Attorneys Kcnna and Ounlop of the Santa
Fe , Hobert Mather ot the Hock Island ,
Traffic Manager Hamllne and Attorney
Dawes of the Burlington , Wlllard of the
Pennsylvania , Hanson of the St. Paul , Traffic
Manager Munro'o of the Union Pacific , At
torney Bowers cf the Alton and Chairman
Midgley of the Western Freight association.
Mr. Mldglcy told about the rate war and
the subsequent efforts to restore the old
rates. The Santa Fo people said that He- '
celver Aldaco F. Walker would answer for
their road at the continued hearing at Wash
ington. Mr. Hamllno of the Burlington said
that his line had made three cuts on the
csal rate ; the first lo meet the Northwestern ,
the second to meet the Santa Fe , and the
third to in cot the Alton.
Mr. Bowers of the Alton was next
questioned. He admitted to his line
having met rates right and left
about that time. "And If the com
mission had made such rates as $1 a tenon
on coal , " said Morrison , "you would have
denounced It as an act at spoliation , unjust
and a usurpation , a confiscation , and sucli
other terms , meaning the same thing , that
you fellows know right well how to use when
you think some one Is hurting you. "
"I guess Ivould have said all that , "
meekly replied .Mr. Bowers.
Mr , Mather of the Hock Island denied that
his road had been In the general slump of
October G , but Clmlnnan Morrison Inter
rupted dryly : "lint I BCO that you tumbled
Into the light right lively the next day , "
The hearing will be taken up at eoino fu

Kos ( the Klixlr of Soap ) IH the product
and discovery of llfty-slx years of sue-1
cessfnl soap making. , No discovery In'
recent years of any pivpaVallon for
laundry use and general xViishlng has
created thq sensation and enthusiasm
that Kos has. it may be Justly termed
the great revolutionise ! fpr all washing
purposes , for both laundry-and tollql.
Among the claims inndo for Kos , which
Messrs. James S. Kirk & Co. stand prepared -
pared to prove , are the following :
That it wilt do the family washing
without using one particle of soap better
than It has over been done before 1nt
.one-half the labor and expense. ' r
It will keep blultiL' from curdling In
the water.
Flannels and woolens washed' with

healthy glow , and removing any super
fluous excretions that may' adhere to
the body.
For dishes and general washing pur
poses Ir Is very essential , as It saycH
both labor and the soap usually've-r -I
iinired. '
This preparation must not be con
founded with the ordinary soap poWders -
ders , for while no soap Is required when
Kos is nse'd. it contains no lye , ammonia ,
borax , limn , or any deleterious Ingredi
ents. It is essential that all consumers
of soap must eventually nso It.
Kos saves 100 per cent of soap , which
means that absolutely no soap is required -
quired when Kos Is used , and also savctf ' " *
( M ) per cent of labor. .
This grand preparation , the product
of the most complete chemical labora
tory In America , Is to be distributed freu
