Prominent speakers and Prohibition workers from many states and from abroad were preseut.

General Wager Swayno presided at the afternoon IfSlioo. The lv-iv. Father Miles, of Pougnk epaie, N. Y, who came to take the place o" Dr. McGlynn, who is ill, was iti- first speaker Ho was followed by Joseph Cook, of Bos ton, and of international renown as a lecturer on temperance. Dr. Cook, who Is large of frame, largo of voice, em phatic in utterance, said in part: "The houso of lords, Mr. Gladstone Bays, must he ended or mende 1, The liquor traffic, this convention says must be ended because it cannot be mended. My conviction is that this will be the keynote of the twentieth century. The work of Neal Dow has led to this. He has fought a good fifbt, and even at 00 years of agi , he has not run his course. The truth that Maine has been transformed and transfigured through the work of Neal Dow travi lu slowly, but the lie that tin- Maine liquor law is a failure trav els with seven leagu. boots." '1 he Rev. Dr. B. D, Tyler, of New York, read the formal address to (ion ra Neal Dow. It was signed by the heads of Prohibition and temperance movements of thtscouutry and Canada. NEAL IjOW's ADDRESS, General Dow said: "1 don't feel that I have accomplished anything that en titles me to the honor which is done Die to-day. No words can express the gratitude T feel for what has been said and done here. But perhaps it was best that I should tell of somo of the work that has been done and th im porlance of the work yet to be done, There is no question beforo the people of this country nr of any country so great as the liquor qnestiou, yet strange as it may seem there are many prominent men, many men of enlightenment, education and understanding who know nothing about the work of Prohibition. I was once handed a slip from a newspaper which announced that Goldwiu Smith hail paid tiiat prohibition was a failure in Maine. My reply to that was that I hoped Goldwin Smith did not make such a statement, tor the reason that it is not true So far from being a failure in Maine, protiibitiou has b- en a great success. At one time we had a great many breweries and distilleries in Maine. To ere is not one now, and there has not been one in many years. At one time cargoes of Jamaica rum were imported into the state. There is none now. It is true that liquor, in small quantities, is smuggled over the boundary. But liqutir is not openly sold, and there is not one hun dredth part of the consumption In the state as before the law passed. A rem edy for consumption thut will cure ninety nine cases iu a hundred cannot, be called a failure. Applause. An entire generation has grown up among three-quarters of our poople, aud has not seen a grog shop nor a drunken man." Speaking of other states, he said that great progress had beon made and there ure many places where no liquor is sold owing to local option laws. Contlnu ln.IT, ho said: "'The liquor truffle has existed for fifty years by permission of Curistiuu churches. Their members are masters of the situation. When they say 'Go and vote.' the saloon will go." Applause. At ihe evening session General Thomas D. James, of New York, pre sided. There were addresses by Alex ander RuiBeil Webb, of the Moham medan church, andJFather Murphy, of the Roman Catholic Church of Canada. JUMPED FROM THE ROOF. Trying to E cap .

In his opinion compiniesof this char acter ougut to be required to have on hand at all times, in available assets, at least the maximum amount named in its certificates, and failing in this, it ought to bo niijudged insolvent and prohibited frtm doing business.

Denver, Col. , June 8. OETECTIVES assisted Shorill Bow ers today in a search for John Calderwood, president of the Victor Minors' union, who came up from Colorado Springs with Gover nor Waite at an eariy hnnr this morn ing. When the party arrived, Calder wood was taken into a carriage with the governor aud conveyed to a seclud ed plane, which no one but the gover nor's party knows. Sheriff Bowers ar rived at daylight with a warrant tor Calderwood's arrest upon the charge of Inciting to riot. He had not been ar rested at Colorado Springs beoause then he was the governor's guest. Detectives shadowed Governor Waite all day in tho hope that they might, find their man, but at night Sheriff Dowers had to return without the head official of the miners, now in a bellig rant attitude. About the governor's office the Populists there declared that the arrest of Calderwood would only add fuel to the hatred of the miners and would make the contest all the more bloodthirsty. Cniderwood came under a flag of truce, thoy declare, and should not be subjected to arrest. But the civil authorities look upon the man not as a belligerent but as an accom plice In a conspiracy that has already resulted in highway robbery, arson, de struction of property and in murder. Governor Waite said today that ho hail taken no official action and it is not believed that he will declare mar tial law, a point which is declared to bo illegal. Strong pressure has steadily been brought to boar upon him to get him to agree to back up Sheriff Bowers with the militia, a move he is loath to make. When Governor Waite reached Palmer Lake he sent the following tel egram to Adjutant General Tarsney, thinking thut Sheriff Bowers had made the requstfor troops; Palmeii Lake, Juno 2.

Cannellsiiuho. Ind., Juno 3 The National Guards of Indiana Bent by Governor Matttiows to put a stop to the further interference of coal mine strikers with the passago of coal laden trains through tho city.arrived here this morning. The train was side-tracked oue mile east of the city and the 450 citizou Boldiers disembarked aud marched down the railroad track where all the trouble has been, but on entoring the city fouud no army of riotous strikers to oppose their march or give them any work to do. Scattered on and off the track, however, were counted twenty six strikers to whom Sheriff Letnibg read tho restraining order issued ut Washington last Tnnrsday by Judge Ileffor's. Friends of the strikers in Imiianapolis hail forewarned them of the approach of the militia, whieh ac counted for the disuppsarance of the 200 or 300 former rioters. The sheriff s?t out to find four men who had been leaders in the disturb ance nnd for whom he had warrants. After much difficulty he caught W. R. Summers, a justice of the pence for the local township, and Dick Gade, who have been loading the strikers iu their lawless interference with the proporty of th3 railroads, and John Flynn, a striker. The warrants charge them with riotons conspiracy and contempt of Judge Heffer's mandate. . Immediately after the arrival of the troops the officials of tho Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern railroad began to move the coal cars which had been side-tracked by the strikers. The presence f the armed force awed the strikers, nenrly all of whom remained in their homes, but the women and children belongiug to the strikers families gathered nlongsido of the trick hooting at the railroad men, militia and Bheriff, while the work ot removing trains was in progress.

MeBride sent a telegram almost as severe as this one to the miners at Coalton and Wollston, Ohio By some it is predicted that President MeBride is seeking to make the rioting an excuse for calling the strike off. Leavenworth, Kin, Jnne 8 The coal minere' situation that appeared so serious on Friday night seems to be perfectly settled. Yesterday through tne efforts of citizsns, the mine ownors and a strikers' committee held a pro tracted conference, during which they came to an agreement. The mine ownors agreed to allow a check-weigh-man to be paid by tho men, placed at eaeh shaft, and to pay the present high wagos if tbe price of mining was not lowered at other places.

TIE TINKERS ARMGITATED Prospects That the Tariff Measure Will Be Killed by Democrats. FEATURES THAT MHY PROVE FATAL The End of the Tariff Debate is Not in Sight Republican Leaders In sist That the Sugar Investigation Be Completed Before a Vote is Taken. Populists, Republicans and Dissat isfied Democrats May Form a Ma jority Against the Wilson Document. Washington, D. C , Juno 3. TWO months of tariff debate have passed in tho senate an 1 the end is not yet within Bight. Re publican senators stated ten days ago that the close of the present wool; would find the sugar suhodnl still undisposed of. Tbe course of events in connection with the facts elicited by the Riig.tr trust investigation of the special committee as far as that investigation has proceeded, and the fnoU wniuh it is expected would be developed in the lutrtier sossious of that coiumitto vnka it possible that this tluv.it may bo verified. Some of the leaders on tho It .public m side insist thut tbo voto cannot with decency be taken on tho sujj'ar schedule until tbe investigation into the allegations of improper influ ence being used to secure tue adoption of that scnodulo havo boon disposed of. Several of the Populist senators, and also Mr. 3-1 ill. are on record as favoring this view. Their forces, added to the nnited R publican strength will form a phalanx dangerously near a urn jority, provided there should be one or two Democratic absentees on the critical roll call, and it id hinted there may be These same forots the solid Republi can voto und tho Populists, or the most of them it is expected will rally to the support of Mr. Mandiirsou's pro posed amendment to retain the bounty on domestic PUgitr instead of laying an iucrcased tax on the imported product. LOUISIANA THE BALANCE OF POWER Tne suggestion is made that the vole on this amendment may bo so close that the onus of defeating it will tie thrown on the two Louisiana senators whose state is tho chief benuliuiary ot tho bounty. Tho tactics pursued by the Rjpu'uli cans last wook were successful iu drawing ont a numbor of Democratic senators, and, it is understood, the sime policy will be continued this week with the hope that Democrats will be compelled to participate in the debate. If Mr. Mnnderson's amendment for a bountv should be voted down in committee of the whole, it is quite likely that the sugur sohedule oi the committee will bo adopted pro forma in committee the Republicans of course, reserving their rights for a yoa end nay vote when the bill comes iu tho open somite. Evon should tbo vote be taken on a motion to put sugar on the free list, it is understood the Re publicans, at present, would not per mit the proposition to get tho full strength of tho vote that could bo given if it need be. democracy's dates. Juno 15, at which dato Democrats have said the bill would paBB, is not very distant, but there seams little chunco of a iiual vote by that time. It can be BaiJ wiiu absolute certainty that the sugar schedule will not be dropped until tne Rjpublicans have an opportunity to discuss tho 'testimony taken by the investigating committee. There is another matter that will tend to prolong this debate about which nothing bus hitherto been said, but which will probably come to the front very soon. An amendment to tho bill has been prepared and will bs intro duced, probably this week, which pro vides for tho repeal of the 10 per 0"nt. state bank tax. It ia argued that such nn amendment would be unite us per tinent to a tariff bill as tho iucome tnx sections, especially us the ropeal of tiiis tux was one ot the Democratic plat form pledges. The sub eommittee of the finance committee has beon looking over the situation lately and will ehortly bring in a number of additional amendments. Among these is one putting n specific duty on iuiported litbographio works satisfactory to both the American lith ographer und the importer as agreed upon by u delegation that appeared be fore the committee. Another important matter is the pro posed ehunge which tho committee has in view of going back to tbo hone pro vision fixing the duty on imported tobacco aud cigars. GASOLINE ACCIOENT.
