FROM A ETAJT CORRESPONDENT.
Hakkisbukg, May 17. It is to be hoped
the Republican caucus will agree upon pome
plan of action which will satisfactorily
straighten out the tangle in which the ma
jority seems to find itself placed." If the
final adjournnien' is to be had on May $,
the Course mapped out must "be promptly
followed, and must be such as will commend
itself to the members and bring all into
line in carrying it through. ,
In fact, this action should have been taken
long ago, for it has been apparent since the
cl-jse of the first month of legislation that
things were running loosely and liabje to
end in a most unsatisfactory way. There
has been from die first little, if any, lcadcrr
ship in either House, and- matters have
drifted along until, with final adjoump nt
cloe at hand, and that after a session
almost three we&s longer than that of two
j ears ago, the majority party's pledges are
yet unfulfilled and its representatives prac
tically at sea as to how they shall Te kept.
Ideal, but nardly Practicable.
A Legislature without a "boss" is an
ideal body for -which some people havelong
hoped. Their desires in that direction have
been attained this session, but it can hardly
be said that the result has been entirely
satisfactory. There has certainly been no
outside dictation this session. The majority
has been left free to think its own thinking
and do its own doing, and, thus far, what
ever its thoughts and motives, its, achieve
ment have hardly been up to tjie standard
which might have been expected of ftiegi.
islature without a "boss."
It will be said that "bosses" and leaders
ore two very different kinds of people, and
that it was the work of the Republican
steering committees to determine the course
for the party to pursue upon legislation;
They have essayed to do so, but the
result has not as yet justified their judg
ment. It can scarcely be called good
management which led the House Com
mittee to declare, when the Baker ballot
bill was up for considcrat'oa, that it was
the child of the Republican party, cradled
on its knee and nurtured at its bosom, and
altogether too holy for the hand of the Dem
ocratic minority to be laid upon even for
amendment, and then have the Senate end
of the Legislature stand idly by uhile a
Republican Electors Comniittes so mangled
the bill that hardly a trace of its original
purpose was left. In what position would
the Republ'can majority of the Honse be
placed, w ere the Senate to pass the Baker
bill as it left the Electors Committee the
week before last? Could they, with any re
spect for themselves, concur in the amend
ments. Redemption of Party riedges.
Neither was it an c idence of any con
certed, w ell-considered action, especially in
lew of the fact that the party was pledged
to equalization of taxation, to pass the Tag
gart tax bill in the House without any at
tempt to materially amend it, and then
hae the Bepublican majority of the Senate
rinance Committee substitute in its stead a
totally different measure, and one which en
tirely ignores the local taxation of corporate
property for which the people clamor.
State aid for roads was promised in the
Republican platform, and yet the bill ap
propriating it has just been negatived be
cause the Senate bill prescribing a definite
and practical method for its expenditure,
and for the much needed improvement of
the roads of the State, was so emasculated
in the House that e en its friends scarcely
regretted its veto by the Executive.
No Lesson Learned Prom Defeat.
The Republican candidate for Governor
kbt fall owed his defeat largely to his posi
tion upon the Billingsley bill, and the
Grangers' tax bill, and yet the course
of the present Legislature upon the Burdick
bill, the anti-discrimination bill and the
laggart tax bill has not been of a
character to pro-je that the corporations
have lost one iota of their power to influ
ence legislative action.
The platform of the Republican party last
vear w as very specific in its promises, and
.f these pledges are not, to a reasonable de
cree, at least, carried into effect, the ma
jority will have a great deal of explaining
to do this falL There is time yet to do
jiuch in the direction of fulfillment of party
pledges, but it must be gone about in an
ianiest, systematic way.
Tlie appropriations for common schools
mould be increased $1,000,000 annually,
ivhich would fulfill the promise in this
Hrection. Some of the granger members
Jeclarc that they will only be satisfied with
in appropriation large enough to support
Jie schools for the six months' term re
juired by law, leading the amount necessary
,0 run them the remaining three months in
tvhich most of them are kept open to be
raised by local taxation. It is not probable,
lowevcr, that there will be enough addi
.ional revenue to do this.
The Necessity of the Hour.
If the Taggart tax bill, even with its most
jbnoxious features stricken out, is not to go
.hrough, the Bojer bill should be passed,
trith the rates raised even higher than it
jow provides. The increased proportion to
LS
LEARNED
r. r-f
be retained by the counties from ih'e tax on
moneys at interest and the retail license
fees may be sufficient to .pay. the jury and
jail expenses, as it was pronrised'-the State
would do for .the several counties. The bill
making the State pay for the support of in
digent insane confined in county alms
houses, if passed, would in a measure carry
out the promise that the State would as
sume the maintenance of this class of un
fortunates. The bill for the furnishing of
free text-books may yet be passed, which
would satisfy another pledge.
The Baker ballot bill should be, without
further monkeying, put in decent, reason
able shape and passed. As this bill left the
House, much as it has been lauded and
praised, it was not a practical measure. It
was framed by men who handle politics
with kid gloves. There is business in poli
tics, as well as sentiment, and the business
side of the question cannot be ignored. The
bill can be amended so as to secure to the
people the three vital points of ballot re
forman official baljot, an opportunity to
vote without being" bulldozed or impor
tuned, and fair recognition of independent
voters and it should be done at once. The
people will be satisfied with a bill embody
ing these provisions. They won't be satis
fied with any other, and the Legislature
may as well .recognize the fact
If o Demand for a New Constitution.
7f the people want a constitutional con
vei '-"1, they certainly are not doing much
in 1 ''-v of manifesting their wishes.
There & ' bundles of petitions calling for
one, as wt.. - in,the Tageart tax bill
and the Bakti bill. Nor do its sup
porters here ;jvai.ve a sonvincingreasons
why one should b- jed. The only argu
ment given ii 'it the "ballot numbering"
clause sh-- ue stricken from the constitu
tion,yet inere isnogeneral sentiment among
the members for this change. It would be
interesting to know who really demand it.
Whatever is wrong with our present elec
tion system now does not manifest itself
after the vote is cast. The evils complained
of all have their effect before the ballot goes
into the box.
Give the voter an official ballot and a
chance to vote free from interference and
intimidation, and there will be left little
room for complaint. It may be that this
demandfor the striking out of the "ballot
numbering" clause comes from those who
fear that under the new system they will
lose their 0 power before the ballot
is cast, and want, therefore, to
be able to wield it when it comes
to the count. If this be the case, it will be
of little advantage to the voter to give him
a" chance to cast his ballot free from inter
ference and then give some one else a
chance to count it free from interference.
With so much on hand which their party
promised the people, and which the people
expect, it would seem as though the Re
publican majority in both Houses had bet
ter, in the brief period yet left for work,
address itself seriously to the task of keep

AN ALL SORTS CONVENTION.
THE UNIQUE GATHERING THAT IS TO
MEET AT CINCINNATI.
Delegates Invited From Nearly All Political
and Labor Organizations in the Country
A Third Party May Result From the
Action of the Meeting.
r CnreiMrATr, MimlJ-eomlnpweekl e
will brihjf to this city a"politicaTtheringTand recommi
of unique form, in whose action there is a
wide interest. It is not a convention in the
usual sense of that term, for it has no party
call as a basis. It is perhaps best described
as a National Union Conference. Original
ly it was called, not by the Farmers' Alli
ance Convention at Ocala, Fla., last year,
but by members of that convention, and the
time was set for February 23 in this city.
That call was addressed to all who have
stood up for independent political action on
the questions of finance, transportation,
labor and land, and asked for delegates to a
national conference from the following
organizations:
The Independent party by its representa
tives; the People's party by its representa
tives; the late Federal and Confederate sol
diers by their representatives; the Farmers'
Alliance, North and South; the Farmers'
Mutual Benefit Association; the Citizens'
Alliance; the Knights of Labor; the Col
ored Farmers' Alliance and all other indus
trial organizations Irhat support the princi
Eles'of the St. Lotfis agreement of Decem
er, 1889. The ratio of representation .was
one delegate from each Congressional dis
trict by State organizations, and two at
large from the State; not less than three
delegates to each district organization, and
not less than one to each county organiza
tion. In addition to this the editor of each
newspaper supporting candidates nominated
on the St. Louis agreement was invited to
become a delegate. This call was signed by
about 70 persons from 17 State?. It met
with objection from various sources, partly
because its purpose was announced to be to
form a Rational Union party, based on the
fundamental ideas df finance, transporta
tion, labor and land.
This opposition had the effect of necessitat
ing a delay and the-date of the conference
was changed to May 19. The State Execu
tive Committee o'f the People's party of
Indiana, composid of some of the original
signers of the call, enlarged the representa
tion so ns to include the American Federa
tion oi AaDor, traaes unions ana trades as
semblies, the Federation of Railway Em
ployes and the Nationalists bv their repre
sentatives. The Citizens' Alliance of Kan
sas, at a convention at Topeka, February 2,
reissued the call, statine the obiect to be to
adopt a'platform and make such arrange
ment lor tne conflict ot 18SCJ ns the confer
ence may deem fitting.
From" this outline of its call it is plain
that difficulty will arise in settling ques
tions, if any arise, upon credentials and also
that the real purpose of the conference is
not clearly defined. Already two views are
being urged in varions quarters upon the
question of forming a third party, and it has
gone so far in some places as to cause organ
izations opposed to the third partv to re
fuse to send delegates, while others are
electing delegates for the avowed purpose
of defeating the formation of a third: party.
LOST IN THE SAND HILLS.
Two Little Girls Miss Their Way and One Is
Found Dead.
Omaha, May 17. The entire male popu
lation of Thedford, Thomas county, has
been engaged in a search for the two little
girls of John Hanamond, who were lost in
the sand hills surrounding that town last
Sunday. The children, one 8 years and
the other 10, went to visit their sister, who
lives about six miles north of Thedford, and
between 4 and 5 o'clock they started home.
They had to go about a mile, and the road
led through the sand hills. The children
lost their way, and never reached home.
Monday a general alarm was given. Then the
citizens of Thedford and the surrounding
country turned out. Thcv took, the trail!
and soon found where the children had
wandered from the path-to gather flowers.
All day Wednesday the search went on
and Thursday it was renewed. They came
to a place where the youngest had lost one
shoe, and could see where the older one had
carried her little sister a short distance.
Thursday at noon the youngest child was
found at the foot of a high hill, half covered
with sand, where she had fallen completely

exhausted. The little one was unconscious,
and her tongue .was swollen so that it pro
truded from her mouth. She -was soon re
stored, however, and when asked where her
sister was she said: "Sister went on home."
The search went on it continued until this
afternoon, when the searchers discovered
the dead body of the older child ten miles
north of Dunning, Blaine county, fully 75
miles from the place where the children lost
their way.
A DISGUSTING CROWD.
MOONSHINERS WHO ARE NOT AT ALL
WELCOME IN COVINGTON.

Some Witnesses The Latter Arouse the
Wrath of Decent People.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH
Covington, May 17. For the past fort
night United States revenue officers have
been bringing moonshiners under arrest for
illicit distilling and mountaineers under ar
rest as witnesses into this city, runtil there
are now fully COO of both classes here. The
latter class are not locked up, as they have
no means of escape, and wouldn't leave if
they could. The money they get as witness
fees is more than they can earn in any other
way. Men, women and children comprjse
the lot, and they are a particularly disgust
ing crowd. They act more like beasts than
human beings.
All are illy clad, seem to have no idea of
decency and have become so turbulent that
an indignant public is up in arms. The
Government provides no place for them to
sleep, and they have been quartering in the
city prison and on the floors of the custom
house and ja.il. Men and women lie scat
tered about the floors at night like
so many pigs. The women, like the
men, drink, chew, smoke, swear and play
cards. During the Hay they swarm about
the sidewalks and corridors of the Govern
ment building, bespatteringeverything with
tobacco juice. If a lady forgetfully enters
the postoffice, she is surrounded by the
women, who examine her clothing, handling
it with their filthy fingers, ask insolent
questions and often become so bold that the
ladies have to appeal loudly for aid.
It is no uncommon sight to see a score of
men asleep on the sidewalk at one time, in
the middle of the day. Boarding houses
will not have them because of their filthy
ways. They never bathe and their hair
doesn't know what a comb is like. Many
of the women are young, and they behave
in the most shocking manner. Most of
them are barefooted. They wear calico
dresses and sunbonnets. They loaf around
the saloons, block the pavements, and
have become so outrageous in their con
duct that a protest will be sent to Washing
ton. NO HOPE FOE BEIGGS

Marriage to a Handsome Mulatto.
SPECIAL TELEGHAM TO TIIE BISPATC2I.
New Haven, May 17. A romantic
story goes with the marriage of Dr. Charles
W. Gregory and Miss Elizabeth Coe, in this
city recently. Dr. Gregory came from Eng
land a few years ago, and has been very
successful. His bride is a bright, lively
and handsome mulatto. He became ac
quainted with her at Newport last summer.
He was bathing sin the surf, became ex
hausted, 'and Miss Coe, who is an expert
swimmer, rushed into the billows and res
cued him. She brought him ashore without
aid. Dr. Gregory, who had practiced his
profession in Boston, removed to New
Haven about five months ago.
The wedding took place at the bride's
handsome home at 127 Cedar street. The
Rev. Mr. Meserve performed the cere
mony. The bride was attired in a magnifi
cent satin gown, wore diamonds and carried
an elegant bouquet. Among the wedding
gifts received by the bride was a check for
$5,000 from her father, Sidney Coe, who is
wealthy. Dr. Gregory is 58 years of age,
and haa been a veterinary surceon in the
English cavalry. He used to do profes
sional work in the royal stables. He had
been married twice before. His bride is
young.
SWITCHMEN TO BIDE THEIR TTME.
Tho Northwestern Men Say They
Are
Victims of a Conspiracy.
CniCAGO, May 17. By refusing to call
out the trainmen on the Northwestern road,
the Supreme Council of the United Orders
appear to hae possibly opened the way to
the ultimate disruption of the Federation.
The Council's action was severely condemned
at a meeting of the switchmen's leaders held
to-day. It was at a session of the Grand Lodge
of Switchmen and the members discussed the
proceedings of the Council at length.
At one time" the lodge determined to
withdraw from the Federation, but event
ually decided to let matters rest as they
are at present, trusting to time and oppor
tunity to bring about an improved condi
tion of things. Grand Master Sweeney, of
the Switchmen's Association, said the
switchmen had been victims of a diabolical
conspiracy..
"The trainmen and firemen, by the con
nivance of their officials," said'he, "con
spired with the Northwestern Railroad to
drive out the switchmen, and they did so
temporarily. We shall bide our time, how
ever, and will pay them back with interest
before we get through with them."

rise to hopes of his leaving the city this

reclined on the lounge, reading the papers.
Mrs. Damrosch looked very cheerful and
satisfied as she spoke of Mr. Blaine's condi
tion. At Dr. Dennis' house early this evening
it was stated that the Doctor had gone over
to the Damrosch residence simply to make a
social call. Mr. Blaine's condition was so
much improved that a professional call was
not considered necessary.

London, May 17. The marriage of the
mother of Miss Caroline Guelph, who Is
now dying in the workhouse, to George IV.;
has been shown to have taken place, as the
records of the church at Kensington bear1
mention of it, but it was never legally rec
ognized owing to a law that was passed at
the direction of George 1TL that none of the
immediate children of the monarch be
allowed to marry a-subject of Great Britain.
It will be remembered that this 'law ex

last son of George ILL ''
Had it not been for the existence of this
act of Parliament the marriage would have
been duly recognized and Miss Caroline,
who Is now dying of poverty, might have
occupied the throne .now filled by "Queen
Victoria. This unhappy condition and cir

Paris, May 17. The French Embassy at
Tokio has telegraphed the official details of
the attack upon the Czarewitch. From
these it appears that the Czarewitch's as
sailant was a policeman named Thunda, who
had been eight years in the service. The
Czarewitch and his suite were leaving Otsu
inajinrikshas, having just visited a Budd
hist temple. Both the Czarewitch and
Prince George went to the shrines with
their boots on, and the Chief Bonze,
on their retiring, complained to the
Japanese guards about this offense against
the national religion. The Princes were
entering the jinrikshas, when Thunda, who
was standing guard, dealt the Czarewitch a
plow with his sword. Prince George's re
turn blow with his stick threw Thunda sev
eral feet. The policeman rose and made
another rush at thu Czarewitch. A Japan
ese closed the front of the carriage and an
other Japanese wrested the sword from
Thunda and cut him down, inflicting a se
vere wound. The Chief Bonxe, with sev
eral guards, arrested the man. The Czare
vitches injury has already healed.

MUSKEGON'S BIG FIRE.
Many People Homeless and the Loss Placed
at Half a Million.
Muskegon, Mich., May 17. Light
from the smoldering ruins of yesterday's
fire illuminated the heavens for miles
around until the early hours of this morn
ing. Firemen continued to battle the
flames till daylight,,when they were prac
tically extinguished. Men, women and
children continued to search in the
neighborhood of their recent happy
homes for what might have escaped
fire and water. People whose homes were
sacd stood in their doors and welcomed
rich and poor alike providing quarters until
others could be secured. There was open
hearted sympathy on every hand and nearly
all the homeless ones were provided with
shelter. In a few cases homeless people
slept out df doors in tents. .
The most costly building burned was the
stone court house. It was valued at ?50,000
and insured for 535,000. The large vaults,
containing all the important documents, are
supposed tohavc stood the ordeal. To-day
those families who were just outside the
burned district and who had removed their
goods are busy moving back. It is simply
impossible to give any accurate figures on
losses and insurance, as the figures have not
been compiled. Insurance men say the
total loss will be easily 5500,000 and the in
surance 5300,000.

KF0EMATI0NtFE0M THE SEAT OF WAR
Crrr op Mexico, May 17. The Ameri
can warship Charleston and the Chilean
man-of-war Esmeralda are lying at anchor
near the entrance to the harbor'of Acapulco.
The Chilean captain says1 his vessel has not
called at any American port. Consequently
he says it is not probable that the United
States authorities will interfere with the
movements of either himself or his vessel.
An officer of the Esmeralda, inTeply to a
question pu to him in the telegraph office
at Acapulco, as to the probability of an old
fashioned sea fight between the Charleston
and Esmeralda, said in a jocular1 and rather
ambiguous way: "Oh, theltata is already
out of danger. Shd has plenty of coal and
provisions to carry her to her destination."
A Rase of the Chileans.
This remark has given rise to the report
that the Itata coaled at sea and proceeded
to her destination, while the Chilean war
ship steamed'for Acapulco to throw the
United States authorities off the track.
El Universal, the only Government organ
that has so far made any mention of the ar
rivalof the Esmeralda at Acapulco, says
that in addition to the Esmeralda other
Chilean warships are expected at Mexican
ports. A telegram from Guatemala states
that a schooner captain just arrived reports
having seen two strange looking vessels
under full sail proceeding in a
southerly direction. A dispatch from
Acapulco from a naval officer on
board the Charleston, dated Saturday, says
in part: "The Charleston arrived here early
this morning, passing closely to the Esmer
alda as she entered the harbor, the Charles
ton anchoring and clearing the ship for ac
tion, to be ready for emergenoies. Later in
the day a formal interview took place be
tween. Captain Remy, of the Charleston, and
the captain of the Esmeralda, the latter
stating that the Charleston should never
take the Itata until tha Esmeralda was sunk.
Captain Remv replied: SI have orders to
take the Itati The fact that the Esmeralda
is present .will make no difference what
ever. In Acapulco a fight is expected if
tne itata appears.
, No Sighs of the Itata Yet.
. A dispatch from Washington says: No in
formation has been received at the Navy
Department regarding the movements of
the Itata, nor has any further orders been
eenttothe Charleston directing her future
movements. The only .telegram received
Jo-day was one ff om Captain Remy, saying
the Charleston was still at Acapulco taking
in cpal.'and.tlutt nothing had been heard or
seen of tha Itftta. The Jmeraldai.was' also
in port, and had been refused coal by the
Jlexican authorities.
An order was sent to-day by Secretary
Tracy' to Commodore McCann, now on his
flagship, the Baltimore, at Iquique, Chile,
placing the Charleston under his .immediate
comniand, so that in future, the movements
of that vessel will bo udder' his direction
instead of under orders -from thcNavy De
partment, as she haabeenrsince leaving San
Francisco in search of theltata. This order
eiri -fKo TThftTTsr1..!! firmln hr
chase of the insurgent vessel.
As there are now twoactins Rear Admirals
inChilean waters, Commodore McCann on
the Baltimore, and Commodore Brown on
the San Francisco, command of the Squadron
will devolve upon Admiral McCann as the
senior officer, both Admirals, however,
keeping their individual commands and
will in future act in concert.
SUH Maintaining the Same Policy.
It is not thought the order of tho Secre
tary to-day placing the Charleston under the
direction of Commodore McCann, will make
any change in the policy to be pursued by
the Navy Department relative to the pur
suit of the Itata. The order was issued be
cause the officials of the Navy Department
were of opinion that the movements of the
Charleston, as well as those of the other
vessels of the Pacific squadron in search of
the Itata, could be better controlled under
orders of Admiral McCann than under or
ders from a place so far from the scene of
action as Washington.
Secretary Tracy said, to-night that he ex
pected nothing new from the Charleston for
at least 24 hours; and that the situation re
mains practically the sameas it was yester
day. McCann, he said, would remain as
the senior officer in command of the naval
forces on the Pacific until the Chilean dif
ficulty was settled, and would ultimately
return to his command of the South Atlan
tic station, when Commodore Brown would
assume command of the Pacific station.
It is thought the Charleston will take at
least two days and perhaps longer to coal,
as ships of her class can t load fast, owin?
to the location of some of the coal bins.
This will depend, however, entirely upon
the quantity of ooal she need3 to fill her
bunkers. By the time she has coaled, some
new light may be thrown on the where
abouts of the Itata, but for the next two
days the Charleston will likely remain at
Acapulco, in the meantime keeping a look
out for the Itata and watching her consort,
the Esmeralda.
No Coal for the Esmeralda.
An official of the Navy Department said
to-night that it was not likely the Esme
ralda would seek to procure coal at any of
tho sea coast towns on the Central American
or Columbian coast, as these countries would
undoubtedly aet as Mexico has done, in re
fusing to violate the neutrality laws by
aiding the insurgents to replenish their
coal supplies or procure munitions of war.
Newspapers from Valparaiso state that
Balmaceda has bought in Argentine a
steamer called the North American, and
mat tne snips oi ine revolutionary squadron
are looking for her. In an account of the
fight in Caldera bay, which resulted in the
blowing up of the "Blanco Encalada, a Peru
vian paper states that during the fight the
ironclad was at anchor. The Almirante
Andett launched 72 torpedoes, but only tho
last one exploded. Tne twelfth torpedo
went off directly under the Encalada, and
blew a big hole in her, killing 180 of her
crew, many of her officers, and the Secretary
of the rebel navy, Valdez Vergaro.
A private letter from Pisagua, dated
April 21, says that everything was at that
time quiet and orderly there. No appre
hension of further fighting was entertained,
and many of the old residents, who had
sought safety in Peru and elsewhere during
and a(ter-tne bombardment, capture and
recapture of the jown, had returned. The
Bank of Tarapaca and London, which
had been closed for six weeks, re
opened its doors on April G, and
business was being resumed gradually.
Provisions, however, were scarce and costly.
On March 29 beef was in the market for the
first time in two weeks, and sold at 51 50
per pound: Potatoes brought fc3o a sack,
ana nour $z&
Other food was sold at COr- I
respondingly high prices. Water was also
very expensive, two parreis oi tne size oi
beer kegs, brought from Arica and other
around on the backs of small donkeys, cost

ESMERALDA SHORT OF COAL.
She Was Looking For a Supply When Met
By the Steamer Newbern.
San Diego, May 17. Purser Walter, of
the Pacific coast steamship Newbern, said to
day that the Chilean man-owar Esmeralda
was short of coal when the Newbern passed
her, on the lsfinstant, off Cape San Lucas.
The officers of the Esmeralda visited the
Newb&n at San' Jose Del Cabo next day
and said their destination wasjsome-port in
the United States whera th'ey could
get coal. They also inquired as to
the "quantity of coal the Newbern
was carrying, and seemed disappointed
when informed that the steamer hail only a
small quantity. Walter says he has na
doubt it was the purpose of the Esmeralda
to hold the Newbern up at sea and take her
fuel from her, but she gave up the idea
when she found that the amount carried by
the passenger steamers was so small.
The purser corroborated Captain Von
Helms about seeing another warship much
larger than the Esmeralda on the night of
the first. He thinks she might have been
an insnrgent ship, for the" officers of the
Esmeralda knew of her whereabouts and
did not appear to be alarmed, as would have
been the case if the ,ship had been Balma
ceda's. The officers of the Esmeralda re
fused to tell the name of the other ship
when questioned.

IN PLACE OF WHITE MINERS.
Two Hundred Negroes Substituted
for
Strikers in the Northwest.
Seattle, Wash., May 17. Atl o'clock
I this morning 400 negro miners with their
families arrived at Stone Siding, a small
station on tho Northern Pacific, about 50
miles from here. The negroes will be
marched immediately to the coal mines of
he Oregon Improvement Company at
Franklin. They were recruited in Hanni
bal, it is said, by Superintendent T. B.
Corey, of the Oregon Improvement Com
pany's mine, and brought here to take
the place of white miners '5 with
whom the company had been hav
ine trouble. About six weeks aeo
-Superintendent Corey attempted to force
tne miners 10 s1au u cuutiuui uiajueusiug iu
them, and a strike was the result. The com
pany then withdrew the contract and Corey
resigned, ostensibly to take a position with
the railway company elsewhere. Another
superintendent was appointed and the men
returned to work at the old terms,
f When it became known among the miners
that the negroes were on the way to the
mines every camp was notified and all
miners went out on strike. Manager C. J.
Smith, of the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, said: "The company has determined
to get rid of the necessity of bowing to every
caprice of the labor unions. The negroes
will be put into the mines and will be pro

WELCOME RAIN IN KANSAS.
It Falls Over Nearly the Entire Wheat Belt
or the State.
Kansas City, May 17. The crop re
ports from Kansas have been getting worse
day after day for weeks and there are few
among local grain dealers who did not feel
anxious over the outlook. The temper of
advices is completely changed to-day. Soak
ing ftins fell last night and to-day through
out the wheat belt. Telegrams from Lamed,
Hutchinson, Topeka,' Ellsworth, Salina,
Abilene, McPherson, Great Bend, Delphos
and Independence state that good rains fell,
and at some of these places it is still rain
ing. The rain is moving eastward and it is
probable that before to-morrow morning the
entire State of Kansas will have had a good
wetting down.
The rain will do an immense amount of
good, but there is some qnestion still as to
whether, in some sections, the ravages of
insects have not gone too far to bo com
pletely overcome by favorable weather. t
this rate it seems certain that the State will
raise from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels of
wheat, . '

LAID- OUT WITH A FENCE PALING.
Seven Men Are locked Up to Await the
Coroner's lnpest To-Day.
ANOTHER CRDIEDUETO DKHNKEISESS
Henry Schample died at noon yesterday
from injuries .received in a drunken riot at
the Aiiberle picnic grove in the East End,
McKeesportj about 5 o'clock Saturday even
ing. For complicity in his killing seven
men occupy cells in the 3IcKeesport police
station Thomas Shafer, Stewart Cherry,
Charles Fiddler, James Gray, Samuel
Rotherauif, Thomas Quinn and Tom Andre
Saturday afternoon a picnic was giyen at
the grove. A crowd was en route to the
place. Besides those arres'ted there were
about 20 or 30 others, including a' colored,
man named Morrison, who was under tha
special care of Rotherauif and Quinn.
There had been- considerablgdrinkjng all
around, and the colored man w furnishing
a drunken amusement for ke crowd. He
was the butt of the humor of" all, and was
pushed and hauled around with impunity.
At last Schample seemed to tire of simply
bumping Morrison and jumped on his back
Rotherauif protested, and. Quinn declared
that an insult to the colored fellow was an
insult to him as well. At this a general
fight started. Stones flew in every direo'
tion and clubs and fists played sad havoo
with the color of the combatants' eyes.
Fatal Blow With a Fence Paling.
The fight had been on for several minutes;
without any great damage being done,
when Schample and Stewart Cherry met. It
was then give and take, for a-moment.
Cherry was armed with a fence paling, and.
with it ho struck Schample a terrific blow
on the head, iust above the left ear. Tno
L man dropped as though dead, and it wa3
several minuxes ueiore ne came aronna, out
even that did not stop, the fight Thomas
Shafer drew a revolver and fired several
shots at Cherry but all missed their mark.
The general yow continued for several min
utes, and apparently every man in the party
was bleeding from the nose or some cut on
the head.
When the riot finally stopped Schample's
friends began to look after him. After he
regained consciousness he seemed only a
little dazed, and was apparently not
specially hurt. Accompanied by Shafer
and Fielding, the latter his cousin, he
walked to thr home of Schafer, a distance of
more than half a mile. A doctor was seat
for? who remained with Schample all night.
This morning he seemed to be growing
worse, and another physician was called in.
About noon Schample quietly went to
sleep, and in a few moment? was found to
have died. Schample's skpll wa3 not
crushed, and the only disfigurement was a
cut in the ear and there was a bruise at the
place where the blow was struck. Tie
physician in attendance says? that death re
sulted from concussion of the brain. . 4
.' , Hept Quiet Till Death. Resulted.
The facts of Schample's injury were kept
very quie,t until after his death, when the
police were notified and the seven men were
arrested on charges of riot and murder. The
arrests were made by Constable W. S
Downeyand Police Officers Tillbrook and
Miller. The men were all brought to the
police station. Black eyes predominated,
while cuts and bruises were numerous.
They looked as though they had been
through a riot, and each man seemed to
have gotten the worst of it. Stew
art Cherry, the man who struck the
blow which is supposed to have caused
Schantple's death, told the story substan
tially as given above. He admits using the
fence picket, but says it was in self defense.
He was a stranger to the others in the party
and was watching the fight from a safe dis
tance. One man's hail was knocked off,
and Cherry says when he went to pick it up
for him he was attacked by Schample.
After being struck at several times he used
the club.
Cherry claims to have been perfectly
sober. He looks like a square man, and
may be the victim of circumstances, as his
story is corroborated by all, including
Schample's friends. In fact, they were all
friends until the fight occurred. Rotherauff
says that Schample got into a fight after
this one was over, and may havej received
some of his injuries then. All the men ad
mit that they had been drinking, but they
say they were not drunk. James Grays
savs he was acting as peacemaker, and ex
hibits a black eye as evidence. Tommy
Quinn, who caught for the Pittsburg Players'
League team last year, is one of those locked
up.
Something of the Murdered Man.
Henry Schample was about 26 years old
and unmarried. He lived with his widowed
mother, on Welseer alley. He has of late
been a heater at Demmler, working for
Thomas Shafer, at whose house he diedT He
has always lived here and had many friends
who say his only fault was his tendency to
drink. When sober he is said to have been
a first-rate fellow. One peculiar thing; "
about his history is that his three brothers
and his father all met violent deaths. The
latter was killed on the railroad, and the
three boys all met death in rows similar to
that in which Henry was killed.
Coroder McDowell was expected to re
turn from Atlantic City last midnight, and,
he will probably conduct the inquest, to be
held at McKeeSport this morning.
NEGROES SURROUNDED THE JAIL.
Soldiers Called Out to Prevent the Release- -,
of a Prisoner.
Wilmington, N. C, May 17. Several
negroes having been heard making threats;
to attack the jall'last night and release Kit
Huggins, the driver of an omnibus which
ran over and killed a little white boy,
yesterday, Sheriff Stedman with 20 armed
special-deputies took charge of the jail and
the police force of the city received special
instructions to be on the alert. By 10
o'clock crowds of negroes began assembling
near the jail. Officer Hall with a, detach
ment of policemen went to the scene. Tho
mob moved from one point, but quickly re
assembled. This continued for more than
two hours, but there was no actual violence
and no feature of special interest till be
tween 12 and 1 o'clock. Then the negroes
assembled in force.
Mayor Rickaud, after consultation with a
number of citizens, ordered the military
alarm to be sounded from the fire bells. This
was done and the members of the Wilming
ton Light Infantry came rushing to their
armory from all parts of the city. This had
the desired effect. As soon as the first tap
of the alarm bells was heard the negroes be
gan to disperse. Twelve or 15 of them were
arrested by the police and by 3 A. m. every
thing was quiet.
