Resignations of the Other Two Whisky Trust Receivers Accepted. Chicago, March 23.

All three receivers of the Whisky trust resigned to- i day. The resignations were presented to Federal Judge Grosscup. They were General John McNulta, John J. Mitch ell and E. F.

Lawrence. It was thought by many that the resignations were the result of the fight between factions of the trust and that sensational developments would follow, but nothing that would indi cate that such was the case appeared on the surface today. The proceed ings were quiet and apparently peaceable. Receiver Lawrence quietly handed a folded paper to Judge Gross- cup, saying that he desired to resign owing to the pressure of his private p.ffairs, and that he did not desire to devote any more of his time to business in which he had no personal interest. Receiver Mitchell offered a like rason for his rsignation and said that he was of the opinion, anyway, that two receivers could manager the business of the trust without trouble three receivers were too many.

General McNulta Just followed suit to keep the other two company. Then Judge Grosscup said he thought one man could take care of the whisky trust interests. He then held a conference with the attorneys interested In the trust and at he conclusion accepted the resignations of Messrs. Law rence and Mitchell and said that General McNulta would be continyed as sole receiver. ONE BODY NOT FOUND.

Gene Hays Drills Two Holes Through Ulna at El Reno. El Reno, O. March 20. (Special.) About 11:30 o'clock this morning Gene Hays shot Deputy Marshal Jim Dosa in the rear of the Switzer saloon, one ball entering Doss's right cheek ani coming out on the left side of the neck, the other passing through the left leg Doss was taken to Dr. Sombert's office and wounds dressed and afterward taken to his home.

Gene Hay3 and Harry McDade wer arrested Saturday for stealing and butchering cattle from the farm of William Pelton one mile 'rom Frisco, the cattle belonging to Henry Barrett, The above named parties were delivering the beeves to Mr. Ellison, who is the beef contractor at Fort licao, when they were arrested by Jim Doss. They gave bond and were still in El Reno this morning when they met Doss and proposed to go back to the snloon and talk the matter over. There is a long narrow alley about four feet wide on the south side of the saloon running back to the main alley and sterns Dos3 and McDade were in this alley sitting down, when Hays stepped back about thirty feet and looked in at tho windoT of the saloon and then turned and went back to where Doss and McDade were and shot Doss. While Doss' wounds were being dressed he stated that Hays came back through the alley and right on to him and McDade with his gun in his hand and said "Doss, they wouldn't arrest a fellow for carrying a gun," and at that moment blazed away at Doss with the above results.

Hays went immediately to the rear of the district court building where Sheriff Cannon stood and gave himself up and said he had killed Doss. The sheriff took him to the jail and put him into the corridor but wanted him to go to a cell, and telling him somebody might kill him. Hays said, no, I'm a good target and will take mv chances. Doss was a witness against Hays and McDade and the general supposition is that the plan was to get Doss out of the way. There was a carpenter working making some changes in a restaurant building about eighty feet from the shootnig took place and he heard one of them say, "come on, that enougn.

Doss was still alive at a late hour. THEY ARE NOT BANDITTI. Refugees Assert that Spain Belittles tli Forces. New York, March 20. Two passen ers on the steamship Surguranea, which arrived Here from luoa were seen.

The first was a line athletic loo ing man. who said he was a refugee from Matanzas, in the very ec-nter of the revolutionary district. For some time his home was surrounded by Spanish soldiers, and he was virtually a prisoner, ueing an American cm- zen, however, he to the Amer ican consul at Havana, and tlnough his influence was enabled to ret away. He declared that the revelation is far more serious than reported. "There are about 6,000 men in the revolutionary army," he said, "and they are far from being the banditti that tbe Spanish authorities claim.

As to the Spanish troops, there are 8,000 regulars on the island, and there are S.oOO more on their way there." The other passengers say that the authorities at Havana believe that Americans are furnishing most of the arms for the revolutionists. They therefore feel very bitter toward America.

i' COL' UTS SUPPLIED. Springer and Rack Kiigorc Appointed as tho Two Judges. Washington, March 21. The following appointments were announced at the White House today: William M. Springer of Illinois, judge of the United States court of the Northern district of the Indian Territory; Buckley Kiigore of Texas, judge of the Southern district of the Indian Territory.

To be marshals of the United States: Samuel R. Rutherford of Indian Territory, for Northern district of Indian Territory; Lueien L. Stowe of Indian Territory for Southern district of Indian Territory. To be attorneys of the United States: James V. Walker for Central district of Indian Territory; Andrew C.

Cruce of Indian Territory, for Southern district of Indian Territory. The two Indian Territory judgeships are newly created offices established by an act of the last congress and framed for the purpose of checking in a measure the great spread and growth of lawlessness and crime in the Indian Territory, which has become the refuge of robbers and outlaws. The new judges are well known ex-congressmen, Springer having served in the house of representatives for many years and having taken a prominent part in debates as one of the Democratic leaders. Judge Kiigore had served in the last four congresses and has attracted a great deal of attention by reason of his vigorous personality and frequent ob jections to various bills. He is a Georgian by birth ancj 0 years of age WHEELER-STERLING SHELL HAS BEEN TESTED.

Unanthentlcated Telegram Not Sufficient For Arrest National Christian League Discusses Certain Phases of Divorce to Promote Social Parity. Washington, March 23. Two tests took place at the proving grounds at Indian Head today, one of Wheeler-Sterling projectiles and of Hurst guri. The first was eminently successful, but the latter was a disappointment. The projectile test was of a 13-inch shell, one of a lot of 400 furnished by the WheelerVSterliivs steel company.

By the terms of the specifications the selected shell was required to pass through a seven inch nickel steel plate without being broken up. It was fired with a striking velocity of 500 feet per second, and passed through the plate and sank about ten feet into the butt behind it, whence it was dug out practically uninjured. This shot decided the acceptance of the lot. These shells are of forged steel and have a large chamber which contains a bursting charge of sixty pounds of powder when in actual service. In the tests the place of the powder is taken by sand so as to secure the proper weight.

The second test of the day consisted of experiments with the Hurst gun, for the purpose of ascertaining the velocity obtainable with it for given charges The projectiles used weighed 200 pounds and the total powder charge about 183 pounds. An ordinary service gun of the same calibre would give a velocity of about 2,500 feet with this charge! The Hurst gun has the powder divided into two parts, one of them in a primary charge of ten pounds for starting the projectile and the other a main charge of 175 pounds for giving it its velocity. At previous tests a velocity of 2,400 feet was obtained but it was suspected that part of the projectile was broken off by the discharge, and that it was thus so much reduced in weight that these figures were unduly high. At the test today two shots were fired with resulting velocities of 2.0SS and 2,096 feet, the second powder charges being 175 and 177 pounds respectively. These results are considered very poor and as the gun is more difficult to handle and the ammunition more awkward to prepare and load, there will probably be no further tests of it.

HABEAS CORPUS WAS GOOD. Unauthenticated Telegram Not Sufficient for an Arrest. Columbia, S. March 23. Some time ago Chief of Police Daly received a telegram from the chief of police of Council Bluffs, asking him to arrest Secrest Reife if he came to Co lumbia.

Reife was released, through another telegram was received stating a warrant would be forwarded and extradition proceed ings instituted. TO PROMOTE SOCIAL PURITY.

The Burlington, Missouri Pa cific and some others have repeatedly been compelled to turn over freight to their competitors and this wrhile their own earnings were showing marked decreases. They have objected to the existing scale of divisions and will ask that they be reduced. The weaker lines naturally have strong objections to any such proceedings and desire the percentages to be kept as they are.
