THE II ST OP DEAD IS TLACED AT SIX
Washington, July 12L The President
has oraered that Federal troops be sent to
the scene of the miners' troubles in Idaho,
and General Schofield has ordered Generals
linger and Merritt to send troops there.
Senators Shoup and Dubois, of Idaho,
have received a number of dispatches in re
pard to the mining troubles in the Ccbut'
d'Alene region. The first was from Marshal
Pinkham, who transmitted a message from
u man named John Pinch, at "Wallace, re
porting fighting in the Gem and 'Frisco
mines, and saying, "We are powerless to
itop the conflict and fear many will be
killed and the mills burned." With the
telegram containing this information the
Senators went to call on the President and
Secretary of War, but were not able to see
either, the President being out of the city
and the Secretary away from the Depart
ment They then called on the Attorney
General, and after a consultation with him
telegraphed the Governor as to the condi
tions under which the President could act
in the matter of calling out the Federal
troops to aid in maintaining order.
Six Men Are Known to Be Dead.
At midnight the Senators received the
following dispatch from Attorney General
George H. Koberts, at Boise City: "The
Governor is preparing a call on the President
lor troops. If possible, have matters ar
ranged so that orders will be issued from
the War Department to the commandant at
Fort Sherman to move troops by boat via
Miss ion and Wardner. Many lives are al
ready lost and much valuable property des
troyed. Mobs are moving on Wardner.
Everything now depends on promptness."
The latest dispatches received by the
Senators (and which are signed by Gover
nor Willey) report the casualties so far at
six killed and seven wounded, and the tear
is expressed that the scene of the violence
may extend to other parts of the State, ne
cessitating the proclamation-of martial law.
The union miners are described as an undis
ciplined mob of from 400 to 500 men armed
with Winchesters and revolvers. They are
elated with their successes and will not be
satisfied until every new man is driven
from the mines. The loss by the explosion
will be 5125,000.
A Press dispatch from Wallace, Idaho,
cays: The Sheriff last night made another
effort to collect a posse and go to Wardner
on a special train. He called on all citi
zens known to be in active sympathy with
the miners to report at 10 o'clock, but when
the Sheriff" started only one citizen re
sponded. The Mob Marchlnc on Wardner.
Armed bodies of miners went into Ward
ner all the evening. The crowd proceeded
to the Union Pacific yards below town,
took a flat car, put it on the main track and
started lor Wardner. Being all down grade,
no trouble was experienced. The mill ot
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Company is
located on the Union Pacific tracks two
miles from Wardner, and the strikers' ses
sion during the night sent word up to the
mines that unless the "scabs" surrendered
the mill would be blown up.
Large bodies of armed miners went up to
Wardner proper and toward the mine to
await developments. Before 9 o'clock this
morning all the Bunker Hill forces walked
out ot the mine and surrendered. The
Sierra Nevada, forces also surrendered.
Not a shot was fired. What will be done
with the non-union men is not known. The
'Frisco companies began paying their men
off to-day.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon about 300
miners from Gem, 50 of whom were armed
with rifles, marched down to Wallace. They
orougnc wiin tnem tneir prisoners, consist
ing ot about 110 non-union men, and also
fire dead bodies, another dead man, James
Hennessey, lately of Butte, Mont, being in
a house at Gem, shot through the breast
Upon arrival here the "scabs" were turned
loose and the union men began a search for
A. M. Ester, manager of the Trisco mine,
against whom the union meu have a special
grudge.
The Terms of Yesterday'! Surrender.
The terms en which the Gem miners aud
guards surrendered were that 27 Win
chesters and a number of revolvers and
2,000 rounds of ammunition should be
placed in the hands of disinterested parties,
two citizens and two conservative union
men, and that the "scabs" should be shipped
out of the country.
An hour after -the agreement about the
anus was entered into the union men got
possession of all the rifles and ammunition,
and last evening large bodies of armed
miners went down to Wardner, 12 miles
distant, in wagons and by rail. The mines
employing non-union men there are the
Sierra Nevada and Bunker Hill and Sulli
lau. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan has a
force of 260 men, and about 100 are armed
with Winchesters. There is only one way
to reach the mine, and that is directly up
the gulch, and the road is steep. If an at
tempt is made there against the men in the
mine there mubt be more bloodshed. The
Sierra Nevada is exposed.
A dispatch from Minneapolis says: James
Clark, of New York, who spends considera
ble of each year in the Ceur d'Alene re
gion, was there last night. Speaking of
kuc nuuuica m luai rcgiuu, lie &aiu;
The History of the Present Dispute.
"As a property owner there, I am sorry
to hear that matters have reached a climax.
Some 3,000 men were empioyed in the
mines about Wallace, Wardner, Burke,
Gem. Mullan and other camps until about
eight months ago, when the mine owners
claimed that ther could not pay the high
freight rates, and accordingly shut down
until some compromise coutd be arranged.
Tne Mine Owners' Association went to St
Paul and Omaha to consult with the gen
eral freight agents of both the Northern
and Union Pacific Railroads to secure a re
duction of rates.
"The workmen in the mines bad been re
ceiving ?3 CO per day, while those who
worked in wet places received 54 per day.
Along in March the committee reached a
compromise with the railroads and were
ready to start the mines. Many of the
union miners had left the camp during the
shutdown, and the mine owners concluded
, that when the mine resumed work it would
be on another schedule of wages. They de
cided that they would pay their skilled un
derground miners 3 SO a day but make the
unskilled 53 per day.
"The union men refused to go back unless
the old wages were paid. This was in
April, and since the mines have been partly
worked bv what non-union men could be
secured, although but little has been done.
A constant warfare has been going on since
then between the mine owners and the
unions. The mine owners endeavored to
bring in non-union workmen from Duluth
some time ago, but when they arrived they
relused to work after hearing of the sltua-
tion.

SORROW KILLS FIELD.
Son's Shame Brings the Ocean
Cable Trojector to His Grave.
HE PASSES AWAY IN A DELIRIUM.
The Sketch of Brilliant and Honorable
rusiness Career.
FAME COMES ON ELECTEICAL WINGS
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., July 12. Cyrus
W. Field, the famous promoter of the At
lantic cable project, died at 9:30 o'clock this
morning.
He was attacked early this morning by
one of the violent spells of delirium which
have occurred so frequently during his ill
ness. Dr. Contat was at once summoned
from Tarrytown, but his services were of no
avail, and in less than three hours the aged
financier was dead. At the time of his
death there were present at the bedside Mr.
Field's three brothers, David Dudley Field,
the Bev. Henry M. Field and -Justice
Stephen J. Field, his daughter, Mrs. Isa
bella Judson and her two sons, Cyrus Field
Judson and Frank Judson. Mr. Field had
been suffering from physical and mental ex
haustion brouglit on by the many troubles
which have overtaken him during the past
year.
The hand of misfortune has been laid oft
Cyrus W. Field in its cruel force in the
12 months, and his death is only the culmi
nating point of a series of bitter disappoint
ments and bereavements which ended his
Ctl'.US w. K1KLU.
long, useful and honorable career. Afflic
tion visited him only a few short months
ago aud with one stroke made the grand old
man almost wish he had never lived.
The Crnel Stroke Thnt Killed Him.
The pride of his declining years, Edward
M. Field, had disgraced his heretofore un
sullied family name by loose, if not crimi
nal financiering in the firm of Field, Lind
lay, Weichers & Co. This, it is said,
weighed heavily upon the mind of the old
man and when with it came the news of his
son being of unsound mind, his grief) knew
no bounds. Young Field pleaded insanity
to escape the punishment of his crime.
Mr. Field changed perceptibly after be
ing visited by this misfortune. Intimate
friends say he never regained his old cheer
ful spirit, but remained morose for hours,
no doubt thinking of that great stain which
came upon his noble name during his last
years. Just before the disclosure Mr. Field
was afflicted by tne death ot his loving
helpmeet, and following quick upon the
announcement of his son's disgrace came
tne aeatn oi nis aaugnter.
Cyrus W. Field occupies a place in the
temple of fame, which in the great rush of
modern life, people are apt to pass by un
noticed, yet only 20 years ago he was'held
to be one of the most remarkable men of
the day. If his work is borne in mind he
will be recognized by future generations as
one of the greatest men the nineteenth
century has produced.
The Parentage of Cyrus W. Field.
The father of Cyrus W. Field, Bev. Mr.
Field, had nine children. They were David
Dudley, the eminent lawyer; Amelia, who
married Bev. Josiah Brewster and died
shortly after; Timothy, who became an
officer'in the United States navy and was
lost at sea in 1836; Matthew, a noted en
gineer, who died in 1875: Jonathan, also
dead, who was once President of the Massa
chusetts Senate; Stephen Johnson, now As
sociate Justice of the United States Su
preme Court; Henry Martin, the editor and
preacher; Mary, who died unmarried, and
Cyrus West. David Dudley, Stephen,
Cyrus and Henry have all had remarkable
careers.
Cyrus West, the most remarkable of this
trulr remarkable family, was born in Stock
bridge, November 30, 1819. He was edu
cated in his native town, after which, at
the age of 15, he came to this city, where he
obtained employment as a clerk for A. T.
Stewart at 52 per week. He became a dealer
in paper and failed two or three times. His
native energy and executive talents soon
put him in possession of an ample fortune,
so that in 1853 he practically retired from
business and made an extended tour over
South America.
On his return in the following year he was
solicited to engage in the establishment of a
telegraph line in Newfoundland. After
mature consideration he entered upon the
great work.
The Atlantic Cable Project Launched."
He procured a charter granting an exclu
sive right for years to establish a telegraph
from this continent to the colony and
thence to Europe. After consulting
Lieutenant Maury of the navy and Prof.
Morse as to its practicability, Mr. Field
formed a company with 51,000,000 capital
Peter Cooper was the first subscriber to
this fund. He visited England in 1854 and
in 1856 for a further prosecution of his pet
schemes.
He accompanied the expeditions of 1857
and 1858, fitted out to lay a cable across the
Atlantic between Ireland and Newfound
land. ,The announcement that the cable
bad been laid sent a lightning thrill through
all tbe land, and men wept for joy. But
the success was only temporary. Four
hundred telegrams were transmitted and
the cable's vitality ceased.
On its temporary success an ovation was
given Mr. Field on his return to New York.
Nothing daunted by this dark cloud he went
to Europe again. Capital was procured only
after a hard struggle with financiers, but he
knew how grand and practicable his idea
was, and persevered. In the latter part of
the sixties the Great Eastern, after repeated
failures, completed the task of laying the
great cable on July 27, 1866.
Some of His later Enterprises.
Cyras W. Field was now the lion of the
day. He received from Congress a gold
medal and the thanks ot the nation. But
Mr. Field did not rest on his laurels. Tbe
pioneer of the cable,' he became a promoter
of rapid transit He secured a controlling
interest in the old "V road company stock,
and worked wonders in spreading the great
system.
In 1887 Jar Gould forced him out of the
management and since then be had taken
no prominent part in any great 'enterprise.
He owned a fine country seat at Irvington
on the Hudson, where his special fad was
the raising of chickens. Ah'edlfice which
bears his name is the great office building at
the foot of Broadway, whose upper windows
look far out upon the ocean, which was
bridled by bli indomitable genius for head-work.

Jupiter at Ferihelion the Cause of ill tbe
Woe8 of Ijite.
A LOSG LIST OP DORBORS PILED TIP
New Haven, Conn., July 12, Lieuten
ant Totten, Fourth Artillery, United States
army, who is about returning from Yale
University as military Instructor, was
found at his home yesterday afternoon and
be talked freely regarding his ideas of the
advent of Christ and the millenium.
"Jupiter goes into perihelion," he said,
"on the 24th of this month at 7 P. M. At
this time the giant of our solar system is
42,000,000 miles nearer the sun than when
he is in aphelion. His magnetic influence
npon the central orb is therefore at the
maximum, and from that date onward, as
from noon onward in ordinary days, we
may expect severe demonstrations of solar
power.
"All of the disturbances in climate that
have been the daily record of the past few
months are due directly to this perihelion
passage of Jupiter, and just as the sun is
.warmer from noon onward to 3 P. M. so will
we have more and more of varied cata
clysms from now until the rlanet passes
well beyond bis sphere of maximum influ
ence." In reply to specific questions Lieutenant
Totten said:
"It seems useless to reiterate mv predic
tions; they are all in black and white, and
though few heed them, facts bear them out
and justify me in every scientific position I
have taken.
Doesn't Think He's an Alarmist.
"lam more concerned about this than I
can express, for while the mass of men take
it for granted I am merely 'a crank' and 'an
alarmist,' I have ample testimony from
thousands who have read my books, that
they are absolutely in accord with current
events.
"We are living in fhe most critical days
the world has ever seen, and I am perfectly
willing nay, anxious to go on record that
things will by no means get better, but
rather worse so it is peculiar so it 'is ful
filling day by day, and those are blind who
do, or will not, see it
"Take this partial summary of events:
Since January 1 there have been four
destructive wind storms, killing nearly 200
persons, viz.: April 1, Missouri and Kansas,
75; May 16, Texas, 15; May 27, Wellington,
Kan., 53; Jnne 16, Southern Minnesota, CO.
"In the same period there have been four
great floods, viz.: April 11, Tombigbee
river, 250; May 18. Sioux City, la., 35; May
20, Lower Mississippi, 3G; June C, fire and
flood, Oil creek, Pa., 196.
"There bave also been four mining dis
asters, viz.: January 7, McAllister, L T., 65;
April 20, Minersville, Pa., 02; May 10,
Eolyn, Wash., 44; May 14,ButterMon.,lL
"Three fires have been unusually dis
astrous to life, viz.: January 21, Indianapo
lis, Ind., surgical institution, 13: February
7, Hotel Eoyal, 30; April 28, theater, Phil
adelphia, 12.
"Besides these there were: On March 21,
an explosion at Jordan, Mich., by which 10

the Mare Island Navy Yard, which killed
13, and Jnne 15, tbe fall of the bridge over
the Licking river, by which 32 lives were
sacrificed.
Losses by Minor Accidents.
"These are the principal disasters of the
year, and they involve an aggregate of 960
lives. Adding to this total the sum of
losses by minor accidents we have the fol
lowing sad and unusual record: By fire,
876; by drowning, 1,364; by explosions, 313;
by falling structures of various kinds, 267;
by mine disasters, 308; bv wind storms, 340;
by lightning, 320; grand total, 3,588.
"The total loss of life by these causes
during the whole of last year and 1891 was
one of the most destructive years on record
was 5,762. So it is evident that 1898 will
far surpass its predecessor.
"The best way for the individual to dem
onstrate this to his own satisfaction is to
mark the concurrent events recorded in his
daily newspaper for a single month. They
range tbrougn all classes ot phenomena,
moral quite as well as physical, and the
public press seems to have long ago ex
hausted its vocabulary expressive of their
unusual and astonishing character.
"It is also generally admitted that the
frequency of disaster due to atmospheric
causes is not to be explained by the facility
of modern news gathering," and tbe Lieu
tenant maintains that "such general and
astonishing matters as those of late date
must have a super-terrestrial origin."
"But did not your predictions as to March
29 fail i. e., as to its being the last day of
grace?"
Predictions Borne Oat by Facts.
"By no means. I bave been persistently
misrepresented and misunderstood as to that
statement I believe we are in the time of
the end, and that it began March 29, and, as
a matter of fact, all ot the unprecedented
events of this year seem to bave occurred
since then.
"The hnman race owes a debt to its
maker; its legal time ran out, as though it
were a note,' on March 29. Its three days of
grace, as it were, extended from March,
1889, to March, 1892; and whether the
world will see it or not they exactly cover
the period of my own testimony here in
New Haven.
"All this is quite as surprising to me as
it can be to those who have actually fol
lowed that testimony as borne out in the
seven volumes I have published during that
period. My own constituents know it, and
they already number many thousands, as
evidenced by the sale of my books.
"I never said or meant that 'grace' as a
beatitude was to be over with the late pass
over, nor that the Holy Spirit would be
withdrawn at that time, nor that repentance
as such would be fruitless thereafter. I
bave written just the opposite, and am not
responsible for what others have assumed.
I meant we are now in the days of 'fact,'
and this will be more and more apparent in
the future.
"We were in the days of 'faith. ' Now,
as faith is no more faith when fact sup
plants it, so the day of 'grace' is neces
sarily over when the period ot payment, or
judgment' if you will has begun; and in
that period we certainly now are."
"You certainly failed, professor, as to the
new star in the east, which you predicted?"
Bight to the Very Instant.
"No, sir. There, again, I was right to
the instant I referred to this yery planet
Jupiter, which that, day became the bright
ana morning star at sunrise at Jerusalem,
and absolutely fulfilled the anticipations of
the Indian magi.
'For thousands of years the wise men of
tbe east have predicted that the tenth or
last Avatrara, the age of Kali Yuga, would
end when the sun and moon rose together
near Jupiter; and the whole object of my
lectures has been to prove that the event
took place this year.
"I have nothing to do with the particular
date assigned, but Providence so overruled
the matter that the, very day selected was
the one, and the only onev on which I conid
stand, and did stand, and make such an
announcement"
"Do yon place any credence in a mere
heathen prediction?"
"How do you know that it was a mere
heathen prediction? and, moreover, why
should not a mere heathen prediotion as to
the general advent have quite as much
weight as the one which guided the wise
men to Bethlehem 1,900 years ago.
"The fact of the matter is that tbe advent
is generally expected all over the eartb.
Among all classes of men and all races the
wise are anticipating the 'coming man,' and
this quite as much as Augustus Caesar.
"There is a snfScient cause to every effect
and the influence of Jupiter upon the sun is
a sufficient on to account for the present

Not Exactly Alone In His Views.
When asked as to whether others shared
his views, Lieutenant Totten said: "Most
'assuredly, yes; there never was more inter
est in Advent matters than at this moment.
The whole of Christendom is advancing to
this subject, and I rejoice to have had a
part in spreading the message. The true
church is waking, lamps are being trimmed
in every direction, and not a few are al
ready going out. Ton will soon hear the
cry for oil, and it is tomeet this very de
mand that my own and similar books have
been prepared against a day when men will
perceive the hollowness of the 'higher criti
cism' and hasten to secure a firmer founda
tion npon the Bible as written and for the
purpose written.
"Infidelity is faithlessness, and it is npon
the Old Testament that all classes of critics
cast the most doubt Thus the Savior fore
saw our own day when he said that if they
believed not Moses and the prophets, ther
will not believe thoueh one rose from the
dead."
Prof. Totten says that he does not be
lieve in the end of the world, but rather in
the end of the age or dispensation, and
looks forward to the second advent as a
literal fact soon to startle the world: then,
after a brief, but dreadful period of judg
ment, he expects the millennium to be
ushered, and a long reign of peace to follow
the setting np ot the hith ana tonal -universal
empire.

Prof. J. A. Sprankle, the Field Secretary,
made an address on the same subject.
Each of the gentlemen advocated a higher
course of study and a higher class of Sun
day school literature as a means of inducing
pupils to become more interested in the
study of the Bible. Mr. E. D. Evans ad
dressed the institute on "The Relations of
the Sabbath School to the Church." He de
fined the duty of the Sabbath school to tbe
church, claiming that it was the primary
department and the main feature in the
development of a congregation.

Innes.

Employes or the Marshall Foundry Will
Mot Work Ten Hoars.
"Workmen employed in the Marshall
Foundrr and Construction "Works, on
Twenty-eighth street, went out upon a
strike yesterday morning. ' This action was
due to the fact that upon Saturday last the
firm posted in conspicuous places a notice
to the workmen which stated that the men
working in the machine shop, structural
works, smith shop and clippers should work
ten hours beginning with yesterday.
This announcement was received in any
thing but a satisfactory manner, and as 1
result all the employes did not report tor
work yesterday, but. instead, held a meet
ing in an adjoining lumber yard and decided
to stand for nine hours, which constituted a
day's work prior to Saturday. The men are
all members of the Federation of Labor and
number about 230 or more.
