WASHINGTON, June S.-Secretary Chan
dler is more in earnest about the investiga-
ton Of the Norfolk navy yard than the
officers there seem to think. Their idea
seems to be that they are expected to DO
as much whitewashing as possible, and
they have sent in several reports based
upon this mistaken supposition. The Sec.
retary is far from satisfied, however, and
will probably order a court Of enquiry to
90 over the whole ground OF the Dezen-
dorf charges. Such examination has al.
ready been made as to show that the
charges OF extravaganza will be fully
proved. The labor on the tug Pinta
amounted to 9,562 days work, at tiye dol.
lars per day. The Board makes the odd
statement as to the unseaworthiness OF the
Pinta, that the repairs had made her no
more uaseaworthy than she was before"
when she Was "as seaworthy as most
vessels of similar construction"

CONGRESSMAN SPARKS, OF Illinois, says
Ia. "the position OF the Democracy on the

iority Of the voters that the Democrats can
cury tie State on that issue alone" Well,
WIS. is The position Of the Democracy on
he lAriG question? In 1875 it was "only
ior revenue; in 1850 it was "for revenue
ouIy" and was repudiated as a national
i.spe BY the Democratic candidate for the
presidency; in 1883 it is one thingin Ken

The Democratic party stands on the tariff
issue As the desperate man stood on the
river bEak with suicidal leaning-he
wouldn't have hesitated a moment to
drown himself but he didn't want to get
wet Let the Democratic party give US
battle on the tariff issue-we are for pro-

WASHINGTON, June s.-The statement
that the Civil Service Commissioners had
decided that women should not be certified
Tor the eligible lists is not correct. The
position Of the Commissioners, according
10 the explanation Of Chief Examiner
Lyman, is that il the heads OF the Depart.
msnts request that women shall be Ger.
tilted, they will be, but otherwise sex will
be disregarded in the certifcations. The
G Commissioners seem disposed, at least, TO
give the women a chance. The practical
effect OF it will very likely be that It will be
left to the heads ofthe Departments to say
whether or not they want any women

CHICAGO, June S.-A ST. Louis special
says: Information was received here last
night that band Of from 5000 to 1000
striking miners left Beileville, Ill, bearing
q banner with Bread or Blood" inscribed
thereon in bold letters. Nobody seemed to
know their destination or what their par
ticular mission was, but, whether merely
hostile or u merely quiet conference with
the machine workers, is not known at this
writing. II the former, it will be warm
work, for the men at the mine are well
armed with revoIvers and doubla baTeled
shotguns and are said to be under orders
to FIRE upon ahy advancing party who lays
hands on any mining properly. Deputy
Sherifs are also there. Prompt resistance
will be made to any unlawful acts commits
ted by the strikers.
Ell. Crandall, President OF the Abbey
Company, had taken precautions in the
way OF armirg the men working in mines
8 and4, near COllinsville. They have been
supplied with fifty breech loading shot.
guns and large number OF Spencer re.
peating riass, and they have been thor.
ough!y drilled in the use Of the weapons.
Mr. Crandall said TO reporter that it is
notthe intention to use The weapons ex-
Cept on extreme provocatiou, but that in
case the property under his control be in
yaded or any attempt is made to prevent
men willing TO work from exercising their
legal rights, the guns would be used. On
Tuesday night one Of the guards at the
Abbey mine No. / detected scout in the
inclosure and halted him. The intruder
did not attempt 10 give an accouat ot him
self, but turned and ran, whereupon the
guard fired few shots from his repeater as
an intimation OF what might happen to
unlawful invaders Of private property. A
Deputy Sheriff has been stationed at these
mines to take charge of the guard in case
action may prove necessary.
On Tuesday night there was a secret
meeting OF striking miners held at Collins.
vile, and some threatening talk was in:
dulged in, but nothing definite was decided
upon, although arguments were used to
induce the general body OF the strikers to
make an attack on the mines that were in
operation. A significant factin connection
with this matter Is to be found in what oc.
Cured among the men employed to build
the foundations OF Tiedeman's mill at Col.
linsyilIe. Mr. Tiedeman had commenced the
erection OF a1ur mill at Collinsville, and he
employed number of the strikers to dig
the foundations, the wages being 81 20 q
day. The men worked one day and then
struck, demanding higher wages. This is
regarded by the ColIinsville people as a
part OF the policy Of the Miners Union,
which Is to prevent any men working until
all the members Of the union are put al
work on, the terms that they demand.
