. TRADE FIGURES.
An eaBtern exchange says: It is
quit true that the bounteous Ameri
can harvest of 1891 and the unusual
scantiness of that of Europe had much
to do with increasing our exports for
the fiscal year that ended on the 30th
of - last month,' liut if also is true that
bar exports of things not agricultural
were unusually, large. " For examp',
onr exports of copper ingots an
manufactures amounted to $7,016,635,
which is just about double what they
were in the fiscal year ending J une 30,
1891. Our 'exports of agricultural
imolements increased by about one-
a -
third. Our exports of ' American
made pottery came near to doubling
themselves. Our ' exports of flax,
hemp, jute and other cordage increased
by nearly a third. : Exports of glass,
ironware, silk, spirits, wines and zinc
all rose in quantity and in value.
Ouihe other hand,- our imports of
leaf tobacco fell off by more than $3,
000,000, and those of. cigars and cig
arettes by nearly $1,000,000. We
Vrew and made ' more at horns. We
imported less lumber from Canada.
"VW kept more than $6,000,000 at
home that we bad been in the habit of
paying to iLUi'upu lut lujyuiiial
goods, and we were supplied with as
cood and as cheap articles from our
own factories. Our imports of iron
and steel manufactures fell from $44,'
931,853 in 1891 to $25,267,746
1892. We bought foreign diamonds
to the value of about half a million in
1892, and to more then the value of
million and a quarter in 1891, but our
bill for foreign jewelry and manufac
tureaof gold and silver came to nearly
$11,000,000 in each of the two years,
; During the eleven months endin
May 31, 1892, we imported 359,907,
331 pounds of tin plates, terne plates
and taggers ' tin, against 888,884,741
pounds in the corresponding eleven
months of 1891, which is a sufficient
answer to the free-trade falsehood that
"the increased duty is not checking im-
- portation. Our imports of these good
for the mpnth of May, 1892, were
; 44,804,395 pounds, ugainst 1X9,442,-
015 for May, 1891. . '
The fiscal year just ended has been
- a. remarkablv DroBDeroua. one for the
United . States. The country has
raised more " agricultural products,
manufactured more goods, mined more
ores and built more ships than for long
veara before. What is even more
cheering than ' this, retrospect is the
prospect of a continuance or increase
of such remarkable prosperity,

not have occurred. Wages are gov
erned by the same law aa the price of
wheat, that of supply and demand,
and it would have made no difference
if the Mills or Morrison bill had been
in operation. . The only fact that can
be stated without successful contradic
tioir ia- that the protection policy of
the Republican party has given exis
tence to this and other factories in the
United States. Without, the tariff on
imports every pound of manufactured
iron to-day would be brought from
Great Britain, and ' the wealth which
these have- brought, to the country
wonld have cone elsewhere.' There
always have been war between capital
and labor, and always will be, while
the employer; from selfish notions,
cava ., as little, as possible, and
r ... :
wage-earners, from ..the;' same in
eentive. attempt to procure the
highest price for their work. These
conditions will continue to exist until
that time arrives which is spoken of
in Holy Writ,' when the lion shall lie
down with the lamb and a little child
lead them, and from present indica
tions we are inclined to the behf that
the millenium is very far distant. -

There are two indictments found

doing,' editors will enjoy the same im

The leeson is plain and easily under

it will defy any onslaught by Pinker

but in almost every instance it will
obey the law and respect its enforce

sicrediu every country, and the powers

is worthy the sacrifice of patriotism or
the intelligent care of statesmen.ahould
protect these rights at all hozirds.
- It was only a few months ago that An
drew Caroigie was on this coast, explain
ing to the newspapers the benefits of the
high protective tariff system. Especially
did be exp!aiu bow beneficial it was in
keeping up the wages of the workmgmen.
Now he has made a sweeping reduction
in his wage schedule, and hired Pinker -ton
assaelns to shoot his employees down
for striking against compensation tbat is
insufficient to supp'y the necessaries of
life. This is sure y a tariff object lesson.
Jioteburg Jieulao.
Will our esteemed cotemporary be
consistent and state that the riot in
the Coeur d'Alene mines is a "tariff
object lesson?" We think not, although
the same cause impelled both strikes.
The "sweeping reduction" spoken of
affected 328 men in a force of over
3,000, and wages to them ' was but a
trifle lower than before. All this
balderdash of 'attempting to lay the
blame of the conflict between capital
aod labor which has always existed
to the protection policy is ridiculous,
for, within the past two or three years
strikes on the most gigantic scale have
occurred in free-trade . England.
There is one fact that can
not be controverted by any one,
and that is, without tariff on im
ports the thousands of men who have
been employed for years by Mr. Car
negie would not have beep residing in
Pennsylvania, for the reason that the
iron industry would not have been de
veloped and there would not have been
a furnace or a mill in the United
Statee. ; ,
There appears to be a doubt in re
gard to President ' Harrison signing
the river and harbor bill, as it appro
priates a much larger amount than had
been received from any previous con
gress. It must be recollected in this con'
nection that the Republican party be
gan on the issue tbat internal improve
ments in rivers should be carried on by
the general government, and in this it
was diametrically opposed to the Demo
cracy, wnich beta tnat eaca state
should pay for Ub own poblic works.
Furthermore, the bill this session is for
the completion of works which have
been in progress for a long -number of
years, and wuich economy dictate
should be finished at the earliest pos
sible date. For these, reasons we do
not believe the president will antag
onize the west and south by vetoing
the measure or pocketing it as Mr.
Cleveland did during his term of of-
fi-se. .The development of the country
demands open highways, and money
spent for such an object cannot.be con
sidered extravagance. Mr. Harrison
is from a western state, and under
stands the necessities of trade and the
importance of an open river as a
a means to regulate rates charged by
railroads. . . --. .-
CAPITAL AND . WAGES.
The congressional investigation id to
the strike at Homestead has brought
out the fact that tbe scale of wages
was much higher than at first supposed,
ranging from $80 to $275. From the
dispatches in Wednesday's Oregonian
we learn that at Homestead 3,800 men
were employed, and the wages paid
were as follows: "Roller., $250 to $275
per month; heater.-t, $185 to $190;
heaters' helpers, $130; trainmen, $97
to $112; others averaged U per
month. The total amount of wages
in May was $20,202.95."
The most fanatical advocate of the
rights of labor cannot, consider these
prices inadequate for the support of
families, and. with the exercise of
economy, oi9n receiving such wages
would, in a few years, accumulate a
competence. There are few men who
will not agree that tho laborer is
worthy of his hire, and should receive
a fair compensation for tho time and
muscular effort he devotes to the in
terests of his emgloyer. But capital
comes under the same rule, and have
certain rights which should be respect
ed and protected by law. He who in
vests his' money and devotes bis ex
perience and intellectual facul
ties to the development of
a business enterprise is en
titled to remuneration. Every dollar
of bis capital represents labor, and the
yestuieut-vf It lu lruu, wool cii ulib
manufacturing enterprise should bring
to him a certaiu percentage of gain.
It is much better for the community
to be so invested than to be loaned out
to individuals, for it developes the re
sources of the country and gives. em
ployment to wage earners. Mr. Car
negie could have taken his wealth
and invested it in government securi
ties and received a princely income,
but the 3,000 workmen at Homestead
would be forced to go elsewhere and
work for less wages, and thousands of
dollars wonld annually be sent- to
Great Britain for manufactured iron.
If the affairs at Homestead have
any political significance what
ever they show that protected
labor is paid higher wages in the
United States than it can command
elsewhere. The strike wonld have
happened under any administration of
national affairs, and was not caused by
Republican policy, no more than that
m the Ccear d'Alene "mines. It is
somewhat amusing to read column
after column in Democratic exchanges,
charging all the evils which have hap
pened at Homestead to high pro
tection, written by editors ' who do not
receive one-half the wages of some of
Carnegie's employers; but the party
must have something upon which to
make the campaign for" free-trade, and
the strike at Homestead is much better
than nothing.
and the only disastrous financial pe
riods havo lecn those whi-n we fol
lowed the fallacies of free trade.
This is enough poh.'cal economy for
any patriotic American citizen, and
all that he desires to know. The re
public has practically tested the two
doctrines, and theorizing on the dif
ferent policies is worse than useless.
Protection has built up our manufact
uring industrifR, extended our com
merce with foreign countries and de
veloped our resource?. The wealth of
the nation to-day is the result of pro
tection, and the independence of our
laborers ia from the same source. We
should be satisfied with present accom
plishment, and not desire to experi
ment with untried theories.
Oar neighbor, the Sun, devotes four
columns and a half in publishing a
letter from Mr. Paul Mohr, in which
he tries to vindicate his action in op
posing the boat-railway. The animus
of the epistle appears to be a personal
attack against Senator Dolph, because
he attempted to have the amendment
incorporated into the River and Har
bor bill for the boat-railway on the
Washington side. Mr. Mobr claims
that this scheme would greatly in
jure i.u contemplated road trom
Columbus, Washington, to the mouth
of the Klickitat, and tbat it could be
constructed on the south bank to a
better advantage. A eommittee of
eugmwem Bui vcyed the luutti ud
commended its construction on the
north bank of the river, and the mem
bers of the Oregon delegation had
nothing whatever to do with the route
recommended. As far as the actions
of Senators Dolph and Mitchell and
Representative Hermann are concerned
they meet with the approbation of tho
citizens of Oregon, if they are cen
sured by Mr. Mobr.

Another Account From Wallace.
Walukje. Idaho, July 11. A battle
occurred at the Frisco mine and (Jem
mine at tbe towu of Gem ibis morning
between 5 aod G o'clock, between union
and nuo-uoiun miners. Toe fight lasted
for several hours. Four men were killed
aod about 10 wounded. Among tbe
killed are: Gus Cirisoa aad llarry Conv
minga, union men; tbe other two were
guards at the urine. Tbe wounded, 20,
aa lar as learned, are; John Ward, of the
Gem, shot through tbe erm; Hugh Camp
belt, a union msn, hit by a rifle on the
bead; J. W. Gaokrnger, noD-UDioo, shot
through tbe hips; Gam Pt.:rs,of Tacoina,
non noioo, shot in tbe bead, will recover.
The Frisco mill was blown up during the
fight, and is a complete wreck. Afte'
tbe mill was biowo up the non-union
men in the Frisco mine bung out a flag
of truce and hostilities ceased, and about
CO men surrendered. The men are now
under guard at the Miners' Uuion head
quarters at the town of Gem.
The miners in the meantime got around
the hills up the canyon above tbe mine.
They loaded a Union Pacific car with 750
pounds of giant powder aud rent tbe. car
down tbe track toward the Fnsco mine.
Directly in lront of the mill tbe explosion
occurred, shattering tbe mill to splinters
aod making it a complete wreck. Tba
scabs tbeo fibowed the white flag and
tui rendered. They were marched to tbe
Miners1 Union hall and guarded, no in
dignities being offered after the surrender.
While tbe fight was going on at Frisco,
the Gem gunrds suddenly began firing
volley after volley into tbe town of Gem,
riddling tbe buildings with bullets. John
Ward, a citizen, wa shot through tbe
arm, and Gus Carlson, a union miuer,
shot end tell. All attempts to recover
Caslsoo's body were met with a volley
from the Gem breastworks, and when the
budy-wa rernyered,.jmhpurafterward,
be was dead, having been shot through
the breast. No shots were returned from
tbe Gem until tbe armed miners from tbe
Frisco, half a mile above the Gem, re
turned. About 8 o'clock a truce occur
red, and the sheriff, district attorney and
deputy United Slates marshals appeared
on the scene.
i.he cbolera is raging tearfully in
Russia, and the death roll is being in
creased evf ry da v. Suffering under
the most cruel despotism, decimated
by the ravages of famine, and now
several dying daily by that malignant
disease, cholera, it seems that provi
dence deals very severely with the in
habitants of tbat empire. If physical
so Bering is decreed by tbe supreme
being as the means of punishing in
dividuals and nations for violation of
the moral code of laws these Russians
must be wickeder than any other ca
tion; , but this is not tbe fact, and
drouth and holera can be traced to
natural causes. If, in connection with
a proper reverence for religion, aff peo
ple would be careful to follow sanitary
regulation, there would be leas dis
ease and want in every community,
The late elections in England do not
insure a certain Liberal victory, and if
Gladstone forms the ministry he will
have hard work to carry forward his
favorite measures. It was expected,
from the trend of publio opinion in
the empire during the last few years,
tbat the Liberals would be very strong
in the next parliament; . but this will
not be tbe fact, and it is very evident
tbe Conservatives can cause a dissolu
tion on almost any popular measure.
However much the American people
may sympathize with Ireland in her
long continued struggle for local gov
ernment, the results of the recent elec
tion can give but little hope that the
home-rule measure will be successful
for the next few years. There is a
forward movement in the British em
pire, and it will not stop until the
House of Lords is abolished and there
is a confederated parliament; but this
may not be accomplished during the
next twenty years, .
In the Cour d'Alene mines there is
war and bloodshed between union and
non-union men, and several save been
killed and wounded. Will our friends,
the enem y, attempt to lay this, to the
charge of the McKinley bill and tbe
policy of protection. . This would be
just as reasonable as the gravamen of
the articles now written by Demo
cratic editors regarding the Pittsburg
riot. .Tne first cause in both instances
is simply a question of wages, only
tbat tne Pennsylvania anair was ag
gravated by the appearance of Pinker-
ton's detectives on the - scene. And
ntil tho world grows mnch better and
wiser, and the reign of that universal
peace and good will, called the millen
ium, begin if it ever will this selfish
world will continue the same as it is
to-day, the scenes of despotism and
fraud. Might will overcome right and
the possessor of wealth will rule with

We cannot conceive any pith or
point to tbe above except that a Lin-
cola Republican has proved traitor to
his party so far that he can advocate
Democratic doctrines. This is indis
putable evidence of chicanery, dupli
city and treason. From tbe inception
of Republicanism it has been opposed
to Democracy in fundamental princl
pies. In the first place, in 1856, the
Republican party was grounded on the
grand moral principle of opposition to
human slavery; while Democracy ad
vocated popular sovereignty and
the extension of slavery into the
territories. lne next campaign saw
the Republicans array themselves
in tavor of tbe permanency of tbe
union of the States and protection to
American industries. Following these
epochs in American history the party
to which Seward and Sumner, Lincoln
and Grant, claimed allegiance, was the
distinctive one . of patriotism and of
national honor and honesty. '. It has
preserved the onion of states, estab
lished national credit in Europe, and
has advocated principles which has
made the republic self-reliant and in
dependent - Any one who has been in
harmony with these ideas, and? now
switches over to Democracy is a traitor
and a shyster "Vere is no other
name by which be can be known, and
it is well to call politicians by their i
regular titles. .

railway the only feasible means of
improving the navigation of tbe Ci

was defeated in the general appropria
tion bill, every effort should be made
to insure the passage by the next Ore
gon legislature of a bill for a sufficient
amount to build a portage road around
these rapids until the government un
dertakes some plan of permanent im
provement. Eastern Oregon is en
titled to this aid from the ptate, and
there should be an unanimity of sen

Held-M Hostage.
Wallace, Idaho, July 13. Tbe night
passed without incident, the miners
resting on their. arms. The colored troops
arrived at Mullan at 3 o'clock this mora
ins. ruey are now at Mullan. It is
teared if tbey come to Wallace every mill
of tbe association members will be blown
up. An effort is now being made to hold
tbe troops at Mullan to avoid tbe disaster.
All tbe mills of the mine where noa
union labor baa been employed have
been charged with a magazine and a fuse
attached, since yesterday. At a signal
is is said, all will be blown up. This
however, will be only in tbe event of
troops arriving at tbe scene. Conaterna
lion prevails. A bridge was blown . up
at Mullan, and no trains aro ronnmg
between Wallace and Mullan. Tbe Bun
ker Hill and Boliivan are to surrender at
S o'clock this afternoon. If not surren

VAN B. DELABHMUTT CAPTUBKO.
From reliable dispatches received at
the Union hacific headquarters to-day it
was learned that Van 11. VeLasbmutt,
who is largely interested in the various
mines concerned, and who has been on
the ground since tbe trouble first began,
was captured, togetner witb William
Sweeney, tbe detective, aod several other
parties, early- tbis morning. Mr. De
Lashmutt was hurried away to some un
known retreat where be could be kept by
tbe strikers, who are holding their cap -
fives aa hostages.
Just where Mr. Delashmutt 1 im
prisoned is not known, save by a few of
the strike managers, aod tbey will not
divulge any of the facts, even to those
who are most closely idedtitled with the
movement. Wbat tbe result will be, no
one knows. The authorities are deter
mined to restore quiet by force of arms,
and the strikers threaten to work general
destruction if tbe troops appear on the
ground. '. It is not thought tbat there is
any danger of Mr. DeLaabmutl's life
being taken.
Tie Homestead Trouble.
Homssteaj, Pa., July 12. The uight
passed quietly. All Homestead was in
holiday attire early tbis morning in an
ticipation of tbe militia. It was expec
ted tbe troops would arrive by daybreak,
and tbe people turned out ia anticipation
of tbat event ready to welcome the blue
coated representatives of tbe state with a
procession of brass bands, school children
and flowers, but tbe situation became
somewhat ludicrous aa tbe bnurs passed
and .the militia did not appear. Tbe
bands did their best to keep up tbe saints
ot tbe moltude, with indifferent success.
It was after 9 o'clock when a cry went
up '"Toe troops are coming." Tbey ar
rived by train from tbe rendezvous at
Greensburg, and consisted of tbe Second
and Third brigades, numbering 3000 men,
under command of Geniral Snowden, to
gether with two Gathog guns and three
field pieces. Tbeir sudden arrival in the
absence cf tbe leaders of the strikers dis
concerted tbe programme for their recep
tion, and tbe soldiers evidently did not
desire ucb treatment from the men
whom tbey were sent to keep in 'order.
Tbey were received with perfect respect,
and here and there an attempt at a cheer
was set up by tbe onlooklng populace,

took possession of the mills, deployed

ters, another to tbe vicinity of tbe depot.
ana a tbird to a slight eminence over
looking and commanding tbe commer
cial center of tbe town.: Then Homestead
was in tbe bands of tbe military and
martial law had succeeded tbe arbitrary
reign of tbe advisory committee. The
citizens Ot Homestead - are desperately
disappointed 'bat the militia thought it
necessary to occupy the whole town
instead of confining themselves to tbe
mills, but gave no open evidence of the
fact. It was a complete acquisition of
power by tbe state, and as gracefully as
they could the strikers accepted tbe in
evitaoie. lne batteries across tbe river
command the whole town as well &s the
Carnegie warks.
When tbe troops arrived, the strikers'
pickets, located in tbe neighborhood, left
their posts and congregated to watch tbe
soldiers. Tbe strike leaders at once sent
them back to tbeir stations,. telling tbem
they bad no right to leave tbeir posts,
and instructing tbem not to let any non'
union man or detective through tbe lines.
Tbe leaders told tbem the troops would
not interfere witb tbem m this. Similar
instructions were given other watchmen.
and the whole strike line of pickets re
formed outside tbe picket of the troops,
miles from Wardner. The miners took
possession of this during the night, and
sect word up to tbe mine that unless tbe
non-union men would sonender before 9
o'clock this morning tbe mill wonld be
blown op. Large bodies of armed miners
went up to Wardner proper and toward
the mine to await an answer aud develop
ments. Before 9 o'clock tbis morning
all the Bunker Hill and Sullivan forces
walked out of tbe mine and surrendered.
The Sierra Nevada forces also surren
dered. Not a shot was fired. What will
be done with the non on ion men ia not
yet known. The FrUco and Gem com
panies are paying their men off this
morning.
Aa Ominon Htlene.
Wardner, Idaho, July 12 Wardner
has been taken by the miners! onion.
Tbe strikers have now potsession of tbe
m.lls of all the mining companies here,
and have issued an ultimatum that unless
tbe owners discbarge all noa union men
employed, before 12 o'clock to-morrow,
the mills and concentrators will be blown
up by dynamite. Armed patrols are
guarding the mills now and tbe mine
owners bave signed tbe agreement as
wished by tbe strikers. Both tbe mill of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan and tbe
Sierra Nevada property are now at the
mercy of tbe strikers. Last night will
never be forgotten by the people of this
city. A rumor reached here at 8 o'clock
in the evening tbat tbe union men from
Wallace, Gem and Mullan were marching
on Wardner and intended to attack the
Sullivan and Bunker Hill properties.
Tbe rumor spread like wildfire, and the
excitement became intense. About 11
o'clock a special train arrived from Wal
lace with 400 union men. They were
met at tbe depot by members of tbe
local union. Tbe visitors brought witb
tbem arms and ponder. Immediately
upon tbeir arrival they mysteriously dis
appeared. In vain the mine-owners aod
non onion men kept a sharp lookout for
an expected attack. For three hours the
silence of Sunday prevailed everywhere.
During this time, however, the union
men were not idle. Pursuant to precon
certed plans, tbey divided into little
squads and were lost in the bills. When
daylight dawned tbe mysterious actions
of the union men became apparent.
During tbe darkness tbey silently sur
rounded tbe concentrators of tbe Bunker
Hill and Sullivan, with an armed cor
don 600 strong. Giant powder and dyna
mito had been placed under tbe build
ings and fuses attached. .Tbey then de
madtd of those inside the mill to surren
der, which they promptly did. Formal
possession was then taken of tbe mills
and tbe concentrators by -the strikers.
This maneuver was a total surprise to the
mine-owners.

dance in the bouse was large tbis morn
ing. Tbe anti-silver Democrats were full
of confidence, tbe Republicans alert, and
tbe silver men determined but evidently
witb little hope of success. Their pro
gramme suddenly changed tbis morning.
Tbey concluded to force tbe fighting and
make the engagement decisive on tbe
silver question ; so they resolved to pur
sue the unusual course of voting against
tbe previous question on tbe adoption of
the special rule allowing tbe bill to be
called up. If defeated, it would be re
garded as a test vote. If they succeeded
in defeating the previous question tbeir
plan would be to offer an amendment to
tbe rule, permitting an amendment of tbe
bill to cover tbe objections made in the
caucuses, and permit a closure so as to
insure a final vote on the passage of tbe
bill as amended. Tbe ball was opened
by Catcbings, Speaker Crisp's lieutenant,
woo requested from the' committee on
rules a resolution to make tba silver bill
tbe sDeciat order of tbe day. Ex-Speaker
Reed, as representrtive of the Republicans,
was on bis feet instantly, and at tbe con
elusion of the reading of the motion bf
the clerk, moved to lay tbe resolution on
tbe table. Tbe speaker declined to rec
ognize Beed, ruliog Catcbings to have
tbe floor. Reed insisted tbat be had tbe
richt to make the motion in advance of
Catcbings. who was in control of the res
olution, and disclosed the purpose of his
motion. It was to Kill tne resolution ana
with it the silver bill. The speaker main
tained bis position tbat Catcbings
tbe floor.

Trcopa l Control.
Spokane, July 14 A spi-clat to the
Review just received sajs the Ceeur d'Al
ene country it now ia the control of - tbe
Federal authorities. Tbe Federal troops
are in camp at nearly every important
point. There was a geueral movement
of troops thU morning from Cstaldo un
der tbe command of Colonel Carhn. At
neon to-iiuy cvi-rai companies lrotn Van
couver aud F-it Sheruiau . arrived in
Wardntr and iuimt-iliaiely went iolo
Camp. Inspector-Gtneral Curtis is in
command, witb Captain Buhh as second
officer. Tbe ton is now under martial
law and a proclamation to that effect bas
been posted in all conspicuous places.
The strikers bave been orderly and quiet
since the arrival ot tbe troops..
AT WALLACE.
Another Review special says Wallace
was in coutrol of an armed and rabid
mob all night. The victory of the union
at Wardner ytsterday inflated the strikers
with unusual excittment. Upon the ar
rival of tbe union men Irom Wardner
yesterday many proceeded to get drunk.
During the night 'be strikers held high
carnival, and run things about as they
pleased. This morning a number of non
union men came down from the Granite
mine to be paid off aod leave the country.
Tbey went into tbe Wallace bank to get
their checks cashed, but a number of tbe
strikers marched boldly into tbe bank
and hustled tb?m out, aod ordered them
to leave town. Tbey hurried to tbe depot
and boarded the train. Tbe strikers then
marched back to the bank, and told tbe
officials there if all the non-union men
were not delivered up in an hour the
bank would be blown up witb dynamite.
Tbe excitement became Intense and the
miners became more arrogant. Com
mittees waited upon several people and
told them to leave town. Among those
called upon were tbe clerk of the Pacific
hotel, the manager of Holler, Maaon,
Marks & Co., aod other prominent people.
Mayor Dunn hurried a message to Col
onel Carlio aud the troops were hurried
into town before all semblance of reason
bad fled. The message was no sooner
wired than one of the strikers came into
tbe telegraph office, end, drawing a rifle
on the operator, ordered him to send no
more messages to Wardoer. Troops are
now here and toe people are thankful
once more for safeguards of society
which are never fully appreciated . until
they are gone.

A. Crwwd of Desperadoes.
St. Paul, Minn., July 14 Tbe village
of Burns, just over the Mississippi river,
in Anoka county, is in the midst of ter
rors and the town practically in tbe bands
of a gaoff'of desperadoes, who are burn
log buildings and threatening the lives
of citizens. George Small, a wealthy and
prosperous farmer, bas been very active
in his efforts to lodeo one of tbe ruffians
behind the bars. A warrant was sworn
out against one of the gang, but it bas
never been served. Tbe whole populace
of Barns was terrified and the gang's
actions were constantly causing annoy
ance. The grave crime of arson . has
been laid at tbeir doors several times.
Monday tbe handsome tesideoce of Small
was set on fire, but after a fierce fight by
tbe family and neighbors the flames were
extinguished. On Wednesday Small was
in Anoka, and in tbe evening word was
brought to him tbat bis elegant residence
had again been set on fire by unknown
desperadoes and totally consumed. Tbe
sheriff and citizens will make an endea
vor to get at the culprits, and things are
in sucb a condition tbat no one's life is
safe and all go armed. The deed is sup
posed to be spitework. Small was open
in his remarks against tbe gang. The

nuitla Will Arrive To-day.
Boise, Idaho, July 11.--Tbe state
troops will anive at Wallace late to mor
row night. Six small companies will
comprise the force. Ex-Brigadier-Gen
era I J. F. Curtis, the old Cahfornian, will
bave command. Secretary of State A. J.
Pinkham was - to-day commissioned
quartermaster-general of state forces and
he will be second In command. . Both
these men bave seen much service and
tbey may be depended upon to fight.
Could Governor Willey secure cars he
would start the soldiers to-night, but be
cannot. Captain W. C. Bond, of com
pany A, Second regiment, of Wallace, is
said to have fled to escape duty, and will,
it is alleged, be court-martialed for bis
cowardice. Tbe union miners bave a
wonderful rystem ot espionage. Their
spies lurk in every county in the state.
Judge J. S. Beatty, United States dis
trict court, who lives at Hailey.yesterday
sent out a private telegram annouciofr
that be bad decided not te dissolve tbe
injunction preventing the union miners
from interfering with tbe mine-owners
and non union miners. Instantly the
news was, by some spy, flashed to tbe
north, and tbe desperate miners then
began their destructive work.
We were requested to-day to write!
an article on political economy by a
Democratic friend. As the columns
of the Times-Mount ajnekb are some
what too limited to discuss this ques
tion in detail, we forbear. In answer
we will say that the American policy

' Mtraek bv Cyclone;
Pbobia, Illn July 18 Peoria lake last
evening was the scene of a horrible catas
trophe. A cyclone struck tbe water
about 10:30 and capsized the .excursion
steamer Fraokie Folsom with a party of
about 40 from Pekin on board. The
work of bringing the dead ashore is now
in progress. Up to 1 o'clock this morn
ing nine bodies bave been recovered from
the wreck and tbe search continues.
Captain Lasch, of tbe boat, gives tbe
story of the accident. He brooght a
party of about 40 up from Pekin io see
the "Last Days of Pompeii." After tbe
exhibition tbey polled out, and when in
the middle or tho river tbe storm struck
them' In all its fury, witb scarcely a sign
of warning. He attempted to head tbe
steamer toward shore, and as he did so
terrific gust of wind struck tbe craft and
keeled it over in 19 leet of water. Tbe
scene tbat followed beggars description.
Men and women were thrown Into the
water, but a larger part ot tbem managed
to reach tbe upper guard and cling there
until help reached them. ' Their cries of
distress were beard from shore, ' and' in
spite of tbe heavy wind a number of
fckifis went to their assistance, aod grad
ually they were brought to shore.' Until
tbe list ot missing comes from Pekin, the
exact number of deaths cannot be told.
The persons drowned were nearly all In
tbe cabin when the boat turned -oyer.
There was no escape for tbem aod every
one pensbed. .The survivors alt tell tbe
most shrilling tales of the disaster, aud
there were many narrow escapes. Meo
aod women were pulled to tbe boat half
drowned, and it is feared some of : tbem
will die from excitement and exposure.

Boibk Crrr, Jnly 11. The message
cent to President Harrison ' by Govenor
Willey reads:
"This morning not and bloodshed by
the striking miners of tbe Ceeur d'Alene
district commenced. A mill was blown
up by dynamite and many men were kill
ed and injured. Inspector-General Curtis,
of tbe IdaOo National Guard, informs me
that 400 or 500 armed men constitute tbe
mob. Tbe legislature is not .in session
and cannot be promptly convened. Tbe
civil authorities of the county and state
are wholly inadequate to maintain tbe
peace, lne immediate available mili
tary force of tbe Idaho National Guard
numbers only 196 men. which is, la my
opinion, far too lew to successfully cope
with the mob, though I will order it at
once into the field. In tbis emergency I
deem it necessary to call for tbe issistance
of federal troops. I therefore request
tbat a sufficient forte be detailed from
Fort Sherman, or elsewhere, to act in
concert witb tbe state authorities ia
maintaining order."

Harris, had missed the train and put the

Masterson and John Burk entered tbe

Soeriff Eacbo caught Mastersoo's hand to
prevent bis using his revolver, but Burk,
woo is a prominent brewer here and very
weaitny, banded bim another pistol.
Deputy Millei attempted to' grab this,
but Masterson fired two shots at Deuutv
Bawls, who was holding bim. Dropping
tbe prisoner, both Rawls and Miller
opened fire on Masterson, wbile Eacbo
struck bim over the head witb a revolver.
Masterson kept firing, but after the tbird
sbot be was struck by four bullets and
staggered into . the room, dying almost
instantly. Deputy Rawls was sbot twice
in the shoulder, but the wounds are not
serious. In the melee Burk was bit on

New Tobk, July 12. The World this
mcrning prints a dispatch from Hugh
O'Donnel, leader of the strikers at Home
stead, Pa., in which he says; "ibe advent
of the trcops of the National Guard is re
ceived by tbe people of Homestead io the
Uubt ol a vindication ot our attitude iu
the struggle between, master and man.
The fact that Governor Pattison chose tbe
time to call out the troops when Home
stead has ver been quieter, when tbe
struggle of Wednesday had left no im
pression spoa tbe town save in desolated
homes aod bouses; where physicians Sod
nurses are can eg for our wounded com
panlons, shows tbat It waa not considered
needful to keep Homestead citizens from
breaking tbe law by force of arms, but
rather tbat tbe state feels called upon to
protect us in our rights. We believe
tbat tbe militia of tbis great common
wealth is here to prevent a repetition of
last Wednesday' cowardly attack upon
honest workmen, by hired assassins. We
welcome the troops, and we are coclent
to await tbe outcome of our present
troubles under shield of Pennsylvania
and the glorious S ara and Stripes, as we
awaited it before.. Our. citizens are
thoroughly organized, our police force is
strengtbened, and every man or Home
stead is a self constituted pieserver of or
der and of tbe rights of person and prop
erty in our town. '

WASHINGTON. July IJ. Captain Hooper
commanding the revenue steamer Cortotn, has
made a brief report of the seizure of the
British steamer CoquiUan. He has turned
the vessel over to the marshal at Sitka and
will transmit a full report as soon as possible:
He estimates the valne of the vessel and cargo
at Jioo.ooo.
It appears the Coyuitlan entered harbor
of the United States not a port of entry
without a permit from the customs authorities,
transferred and received a cargo in violation
of the .law, and engaged in towing within the
jurisdiction of the United States. For these
acts she subjected herself and cargo to conns
cation, and the officers and crew to fine and
imprisonment. It also appears the 'captain
and owners of the Cognition were warned by
Collector Milne, of Victoria, before sailing
that they would run a great risk for what they
proposed to do; he advised them to make a
transfer on tbe high sea, but they refused to
be governed by bis advice. The captain
states the United States authorities , bave sev
eral grounds for seizure. The sealers of Vic
toria concede that the seizure is a blow which
will cut off further sealing foi this year, as
only 12 of the largest Canadian vessels had
received supplies before the Cognition was
taken in charge by the United States revenue
cutter Corwin, and the remainder will be com
pelled to give up their trips . and return to
port
