Money of Mississippi, had an alterca tion with a conductor on a street car this morning, which resulted! in the senator receiving two severe blows from cut quite severely in the right hand with a knife. As Senator Money relates the circum stances, he was proceeding from his home to the Baltimore & Ohio depot to take the 9 o'clock train on that road for 'Baltimore, where he goes frequently for medical treatment of his eyes. He had taken a car on the Fourteenth street branch of the Capita Traction company line, and had chanced te board a car which stops at the Peace monument half a dozen blocks short of his destination. He had failed to notice this circumstance until the car began to turn around the monument. The car bound for the depot was imme- diately behind the car in which he was seated. The senator says that he had only three or four minutes in -which to make his train, but that after he dis- covered that he was on the wrong- car he called to the conductor and asked him for a transfer ticket to the car .bound for the depot. He does not re- call what the conductor replied, but failing1 to receive the ticket and reeog--. nlz4n&fcla 'fo3ose, . heft juuicu ii viii uic; mcli ivc m ass . tuu boarded the other. He had no sooner taken his seat, he says, than the con ductor of that car approached him and asked for his ticket. He then told the conductor that he had not had time to secure a transfer and remided him that he (the conductor) had been a witness to the circumstance of his change from one car to the other. The conductor re plied that the senator would either have to produce a ticket or pay his fare, whereupon the senator told him he had paid one fare and was entitled to a transfer which he had asked for hut had not received, and he would not pay another. Thereupon the conductor told him if he would mot pay his fare he would put him off the car, and immedi ately proceeded' to carry his threat into execution. This the seniator resisted by grasping an upright post and engaging in a struggle with the conductor, who was not making much headway when a passenger who had been sitting next to Senator Money volunteered to assist the conductor. By their loombined strength they contrived to break the senator's hold upon the post and to force him from the car. The senator says that when they first undertook to eject him the car was in full motion and he feels that if they had succeeded at that time he would inevitably have been badly hurt.

This blow was struck -with the conductor's bloody hand and it hit the senator squarely on the jaw. He was, as a consequence of this Wow, covered with Iblood from the conduc tor's wound., and this circumstance was reponsible for the rumor that the senator had been severely injured. The senator adds that there were three pr four policemen present, but none of them took any steps to prevent the a1 tercation. He says also that both he conductor and the passenger who as sisted in the ejectment refused to give their names. The senator Tras not badfv hurt, but his trip to to Baltimare was prevented.

WAR WORN VETS' GREAT PARADE AS THEY MARCHED THROUGH, STREETS, ENTHUSIASTIC THRONG CHEERED. Many an Aged Soldier Forced out of Line by Weight of Years Before Parade Ended. CAROLINA "HORNETS" NEAR HEAD OF LINE TWELVE THOUSAND, THREE THOUSAND OF THEM VETERANS, WERE IN LINE SPONSORS AND MAIDS OF HONOR CAPTURE - GENERAL GORDON. Dallas, Texas, April 24. With their blood stirring to the saime old airs which bade them do and die for their pause two score years ago, the veteran re'mnant of the Confederate army rep- resented Vt the rallas reunion march ed through the streets of the city to day the object of a wildly cheering throng's entthusiajsm.. The day was holiday in Dallas public buildings and stores generally being closed during the hours when the parade was passing. Thousands of visitor's, coming for the sole purpose of seeing .the old soldiers, were added to the multitude already on the streets. By tonight it is expected that the movement out of town will have com menced . ""That the weight of years was on most of them was apparent in furrowed cheeks and snowy hair; in- halting steps and rounded shoulders; but that the old pride of achievement and duty well done remained was also to be seen i In the dogged persistence with which they followed their "bid flag and threw off .their years to the strains of "Dixie." f Many a Jveteraai who in other days ex- ffciMted: ai brilliance of" execution which .

The line of imaroh, covering 'the down town distsact, was a (packed mass of humanity. The crowd was far the larg est that the city has ever entertained. Windows were brigWt wiiith the faces of women and girls with waving hand kerchiefs and flags; the sidewalks were almost impassable by reason of the congestion. Small boys perched on telegraph poles and lamp posts in fact, every inch of sxace was utilized. The decorations, by reason of the clear weather recently, were as bright as they were the first day. The , police were kept busy trying to keep the crowd off the streets, but with j ill-success. The throng was far - too large to admit of control by any ordi- . nary force. The spectators were, how ever, for the most -part, orderly, al though many iwere iforced into the j street by the pressure behind on the sidewalk. The start was made at Main and Aus tin streets. Major-General Van Zandit, marshal of the day and staff, preceded J by mounted police, to clear the way, led the parade. Following them came j General Gordon and sftaff. The erect, slender figure, the alert eyes, and the gray, pointed beard of the comimander- 1 in-chief were well known to most of the spectators. The location of his gray horse, according to one observer, could almost be told toy the increase in the volume of cheers progressSng like a wave along with him. The general started to acknowledge the plaudits by taking off his hat, but soon left it off entirely, bowing incessantly to right and left. Next daime distinguished guests and then the veterans. The lat ter were arranged according to depart ments, as follows: "Virginia, Tennessee, Forrest cavalry corps, Dallas artillery, Trains-Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Terri tory, Oklahoma Territory, Pacific di vision, Northwest division and Texas. Behind the old soldiers came the mem bers of the Sons of Confederate Vet eranis. They were proud to follow their sires, as was stated by a speaker at their meeting yesterday. "We could do no better than to do as they have done to show courage, fortitude and devo tion to duty when the hour comes." said the speaker. "Let us follow the Choice Building Site ON MONTFORD AVE.

Near the head pi the line came the famous North Carolina "Hornets" with hornets' nests panned to their breasts or hanging from posts. In this division was the old flae of (the fThird North Carolina cavalry. The old emblem hung in shreds, but was carried with all the mare pride, for its wounds. Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, in fact every southern state, was represented in the parade, and proudly boasted flags which, now faded and torn, are cherished mementos. Many had to be held together with nets, but they were proudly waved, nevertheless, to the plaudits of the crowd. The Arkansas delegation carried a banner inscribed: "We are From Arkansas, Now Laugh Darn You." The weather was the best that ha yet blessed the renuion, being clear, but slightly cooler than has hitherto been experienced . At 12:30 p. m. the parade was over. It was estimated 'that 12,000 men were in line, about 3000 being veterans. General Gordon had great trouble in getting back to his hotel. At every op portunity crowds, eager to shake his hand, corralled him, 'and every moment he stopped the crush about him in creased. At the hotel a crowd of spon sors and maids of honor captured ham and as many as could ithrew their arms about him. Adjutant-General Moor man rescued his chief by main force and actually dragged him into the hotel. "It was as fine a parade as I ever saw at a renuion," said General Gor don, and General Moorman echoed this expression . There was no business session of the 'association; a recess Wednesday haivting been taken until Friday, when the re union comes to an end.

Attorney Gen eral Knox has decided1 that the beef trust is a combination in restraint of trade within the meaning o f the Sher man anti-trust law and has directed the United States District Attorney of Chi cago to prepare a bill in equity for an injunction against it. After a final consultation with the President, Knox gave out a statement this afternoon reciting that some time ago the department ordered simulta neous investigations in both Chicago and the east Into the alleged proofs of the existence of a beef combine. He says that as a result of these investiga tions sufficient evidence was obtained to warrant proceedings for an injunc tion against corporations and persons who are parties to the combination to be filed in the circuit court of Illinois.
