perfect stampede Of citizens is in pro

and President Of the Board of Health,
who are supposed to be sick with the
yellow fever. They we're attacked with
sudden illness Sunday night, and in

many farmers had quarantined against

the woods trying to find a refuge from
the scourge. Seventy-livs left at day

Mail COntractOr M Murdered.

Captain John Secrest, a mail con-
tractor. was found murdered $50 miles
west of Vinjti, in the Indian Territory,
few days ago. He had left Viniti
with money to pay off his mail carriers,
and his murderers are supposed to be
the men who recently robbed Caney
Vile. The U. s. District Court having
jurisdiction over the Territory being
powerless, by the failure of Congress to
make an appropriation for Marshals,
it ia feared these deeds are but the
beginning of q reign Of lawlessness in
that section.

ton was carried without division.
Immediately afterwards Messrs. Cabell and
Cox animated a desire for a division.
The speaker said he had given full time for
q call for division before announcing the re-
suit. He would, however, recall that announce
ment, and he asked whether there was any call
for division. Mr.. Cox said he did not insist
upon it. Mr.. Finley did, however, and called
for the yeas and nays, and the Republican side
OF the House very generally sustained the call.

WARNER SILVER BILL.
CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.


WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Democratic
soon after the adjournment of that body this
afternoon, and remaiced in private consulta-
ton nearly three hours. The caucus was called
at the instance of friends of the Warner silver
bill with view to convincing their colleagues
that In party point of view it would be de-
sirable to procure final action on that measure
by the Senate during the present session; as a
me ans to that end it was suggested that the
Democratic members of the finance committee
should agree to report back the bill Immediate
~ without recommendation, or that otherwise
the dominant party in the Senate
should unitedly support Coke's pend
ing the bill forthwith before the Senate by
discharging the committee from it's further
consideration. It was not proposed to make
1t caucus measure, except to the extent of
lnsurlng prompt action on it, but the discus
sion to-day developed such immovable oppose
tion to the bill on the part of some Senators,
and such irreconcilable differences of opinion
as to the question of expediency involved in
the suggestions above noted, that no PROPOSE
ton whatevsr was pushed to vote and the
caucus adjourned without taking any action
and without its members being nearer
an agreement than when they assembled.
The speakers in favor of the bill were
hoSAAesSOAo AAuAAAouS 4SOCh, VOO4uccS, UdIlduU,
Maxey, Hereford, Coke and Pendleton. Sena-
tors Bayard, Eaten and Herman made the prin-
cipal speeches in opposition to the bill. The
merits of the bill we're debated only incident
ally, there being no hope of changing opinions
concerning them, but the question of the
probable effects of it's passage by the Senate in
connection with its anticipated veto by the
President, was the subject of a very animated
discussion. On one hand 1t was argued that
the effect would be to give increased strength
to the Democracy in the West, and especially
in the coming Ohio contest. On the other hand
1t was insisted that aside from the doubt
whether the bill would obtain a majority vote
In the Senate, its passage by the
dominant party in that body
would tend to ALLEVIATE Democratic votes in the
Eastern states, and notably in New York and
Connecticut. 1t was also earnestly argued in
opposition to the demands for immediate ac-
ton upon the bill, that the friends of the BIZ
metallic system would most effectually pro-
mote the permanent establishment of double
standard in tho country by deferring the present
measure until next session, and thus avoid an
alleged threatened embarrassment to efforts al
ready in progress to establish an international
common ratio of values between the precious
metals. The indications in the caucus to-day
were that at least eight or nine Democratic SEN
ators will vote against Coke's pending resolu-
ton, and that it will therefore be defeated.

$780,
"Had you made any demand upon the
company for an increase before you struck?''
eyes, several days ago, but they paid no
attention to Us, so We just quit.
"The further grievance was related, that
the company's laborers had harder work to
do than the contractors' employees. The
section worked by the company was rocky,
requiring much blasting, and was in every
way harder and even more dangerous than
any other sections being worked. Every
body in the crowd expressed willing
got $1.5O per day, but for no less. All they
wanted was fair deal. Each one endorsed
''the spokesman and for himself claimed
that $1.25 per day wasn't enough. At such
q price, taking into consideration the stop
page of work from "broken weather." the
late frequent rains, they could not make
enough at the figure to support themselves.
"But 1.25 is better than nothing"
ut Just beats nothing" was the jocular
answer.
The gangs at work have been divided into
9 day party and night party. The day gang
begins work at o'clock A. M. and quit
work as related above. The night gang
went out to work at o'clock last night, 100
strong. They followed their fellows of the
day party and demanded an increase to
$1.50 per day. Mr.. Young, of Minneapolis,
in charge, was not authorized to make any
answer, SO the whole crowd quit work and
returned to the city. All this has been &C.
complished in an orderly way, and is wholly
unaccompanied with any threatening dem
onstrations of any kind whatever.
WHAT MIR. PRIOR SAYS.
Later in the evening GLOBE representa-
tive coralled Superintendent Prior and asked
him about the strike.
"Oh, that don't amount to anything"
was the response.
"Do you intend to pay the advance
asked?''
"Certainly not. We can get all the men
we want at $1.25. Why, our men who work
the year round don't average dollar per
day, and they are glad to have steady work
at that price. It is just question whether
two or three hundred men want to lie idle
while they might just as well be earning
$1.25 day.
Elbow does it come that contractors Just
above you pay $1.5O per day."
sThey have some wet work. The men
stand up to their knees, and sometimes to
their waists in water. They ought to have a
little extra pay for that kind Of work, and
get it. On the ordinary dry work only
$1.25 is paid, Out beyond Alexandria the
contractors, (who are the same as on the
short line,) pay $3.50 per day, but they have
all they want, and will transport no more
men,"
"Will this strike interfere with the rail-
road work?''
"Not at all. There are plenty of men
who will be glad to work. We can take it
easy just as we'll as not for we shall have to
wait for the bridge in any event. wish you
would state that the men who have quit will
be paid off at Mr.. Chandler's Office to-mor.

This terminated the interview and the
