PROJECTED RAILROAD CoNsTRUC.
TION.

The Herald and Inter. Mountain each have
apparently authentic advices that the Utah
& Northern r. r. Co. has determined to
Immediately resume work on their railroad
from Dillon to Helena via the Jefferson
canon, and that 1t is to be q standard gauge.
This Is the same route on which work was
begun several years ago and discontinued
when the road was pushed for Butte and
Garrison. 1t Is stated the surveyors are
already In the field, have received contract
calling for the completion Of eight miles
"on the 18th of this month";" (?) and that a
contract for 100 miles more has been let to
be finished before spring. We have no rea-
son to question the above, and especially do
we deem 1t probable the company will even
yet this winter endeavor to avoid the heavy
grades between Glen and Dillon by chang
ing over TO the Beaverhead and Big Hole
rivers line from the high line by Apex.
Then, In case of the Northern Pacific con-
structing to Butte, the U. Il n. will be In
position TO push Its line to Helena, and pos
sibly on to connect with the projected Gait
railroad from the Canadian Pacific to Ben
ton. The construction Of railroads In Mon
tana has not ended yet by any means, and II
looks as though the second era were to COM
mence next year. II might also be worthy
of remembrance that the jefferson caiion is
hardly available Tor two roads, that the cor
struction of tn. U. d n. would seriously
interfere with the Northern Pacific building
from Gailatin valley 10 Butte, and that ~
the u. p. Co. outgeneraled the v. r. { o.
some years ago, II may have some faI-
reaching and weil-matufed prcj'ct In view
at present. Anyhow, nov that railroads
are here, the more the better. Montana Is
willing; let the ducats fly.

Canadians Fear Further Trouble.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-A special from
Montreal says: The bes. judges of the
Indians, appear to think there will be an.
other rebellion In the Northwest In the
spring. There 10, too, some fear that the
half.breeds who went TO Montana after the
Riel rebellion, may stir mp sympathy there
among .he American Indians and half breeds
and the fact that the Canadian government
Is not recalling the two batteries OF Cana
dian regulars that went TO the Northwest in
the spring, lends color to the rumor that the
cabinet 10 Is In possession Of secret informa-
tion which leads to the belief that the dan.
ger Is not yet over. II Is thought If the In
dians rise again, they viii con6ne their
operations TO the south Of the Canadian
Pacific railway, - they will then be nearer
the American border, and be In country
where there are plenty Of cattle.

The Latest Indian Trouble.

MILES CITY, Mont, Nov. 20. The troops
that left Fort Keogh Sunday night were met
by White Hawk, Cheyenne courier, on
Monday, when within 80 miles Of the Chey-
enne agency. White Hawk delivered dis
patches TO Maj. Snyder, Fifth Infantry, in
command, stating that four companies Of the
First cavalry from Fort Custer had arrived
at the agency Of the Rosebud, that the dis
turbances had been settled without trouble
and the services Of Maj. Snyder's command
were not needed. Accordingly these troops
returned, arriving here this afternoon. Maj.
Snyder received further orders to-day, and
with aides and q small escort renewed the
trip 10 the Cheyenne agency. The trouble
Is that Pine Ridge visitors crowded In on
issue day, wanted rations, were again re-
fused, and shot into the agents house, but
harmed nobody. They reported now, with
strong color of fact, that the Pine Ridge Wis
itors have nabbed 500 horses belongings to the
Northern Cheyennes and skipped. The
troops as Fort Keoeh are all under orders to
be In readiness TO march. The horse steal
ing complication Is likely TO make farther
trouble.

Not n Generous Act.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .25.-Postmaster Cen
eral Villas was guilty of an act Of petty
meanness to-day which was not expected oil
q man of his experience and reputation. II
Is an ancient custom which has always been
observed, to pay the department clerks their
salary for November on the day before
Thanksgiving, In order that whatever cause
they may have for thankfulness would be
increased by . full pocket. All Of the other
departments observed the rule day, and
Secretary Whitney went so far as to present
every employe of the navy department and
every officer Of the navy who Is keeping
house In town . Thanksgiving turkey; but
the postm aster-general decided he had no
right to pay the men their salaries TOT Tue
full month, because they had yet three days
TO serve, and If they should die before the
expiration of the month the government
would be swindled out of so much money.
| When this decision was announced It was
regarded as Joke, and there was scarcely a
| man In the depa.tn ent who believed II; but
when the clerks went to the room OF the
| disbursing officer TO get their pay, as usual,
they found that 1t was a solemn fact, and
that orders had been issued by Col. Villas
that no money should be paid. This will
cause disappointment in many of the house
holds of the sixteen hundred clerks en-
ployed in the postofice department, and the
popularity of Col. Villas will not be increased
thereby. A clerk who has been employed
in the postal service for thirty -four years
said tonight that this was the first time
since he had been in the service that the
clerks failed to get their salaries on Thanks.

with several others Of the same sort that

PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINERS.
A "Union" Strike Near Pittsburg and Threat
ening Outbreak.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 27.-It is just announced
here that riot at Fourth Pool between the
strikers and non-union coal miners took
place this morning. Two hundred strikers
are in possession Of the mines. A number
of men were injured. The police were
compelled to retreat. Both sides have sent
for reinforcements.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 27.-The trouble which
was anticipated in these dispatches last
night took place this morning at Jordan S.
Neil's coal mine in Fourth Pool. The
strikers who arrived at the pool last night
on the steamer, stationed themselves, about
200 strong, near the mines this morning and
as the workmen appeared they arose in
body and demanded that the workmen
should return to their homes at once. Those
who refused to obey were roughly treated.
Neil had 100 men at work last night. When
they attempted to return to work they were
driven back with sticks and stones. Quite
q number of men we're badly hurt, but none
fatally. Robt. McCune, of the iron and
coal police, with six special officers, was on
hand and made an effort to check the
strikers, but fearing to precipitate a fatal
riot by using their revolvers, they retreated
to await reinfoIcements. The strikers are
now in possession of the mines and have
sent for more of their members to be on
hand this evening. Sheriff Chambers, of
Washington county. has also been tele
grsphed for by the officials. A meeting be-
tween the reinforced sides Is awaited with
much anxiety. The people in the region
about the mines are terribly excited.
PITrsBURG, Nov. 2s.-The situation of
the coal miners troubles in the Monongahela
Valley is as follows: Last night the sherffs
of Washington and Fsyette counties massed
their forces at the Fourth Pool aud had
guards placed in and around each mine, and
notified the strikers that any attempt at
violence this morning would be promptly
and vigorously met. The strikers on re-
viewing the case became alarmed and during
the early hours of the morning came from
their hiding places, scaled the bills and
made for their homes on foot. Recruiting
parties were notified to proceed no further.
The workmen In the Fourth Pool are in
timidated, aud none Of them made an at
tempt to 60 to work to-day. They all,
however, have promised to resume work
Monday under the protection OF the officers.
At Pine Run, in Pool No. 2, about 100
strikers gathered about the mines there. to
induce the workmen to quit work. They
had a brass band accompany them. Insult.
ing remarks were made to non unionists,
but no violence was attempted.

CALIFORNIA KNIGHTS.
They Propose to Reach the Chinese Question by
Legislation.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 30.-A grand con-
vention of the Knights of Labor convened
this evening for the purpose of adopting
measures leading to the prevention of the
further immigration of Chinese into the
United States. Delegations were present
from nearly all of the trade organizations on
the coast. Resolutions were adopted to sys-
tematize the anti. Chinese movements in
every city and town, and calling on the La
Dor organizations of the east to extend their
sympathy and aid in the work. Copies Of
the resolutions will be forwarded to each
member Of the Pacific coast Congressional
delegation, requesting him TO lend his sup
port In Congress to the cause and aid In the
passage of an act which will effectually pre-.
vent the arrival Of any more Chinese In this
country after the date mentioned In any
such revised act passed by Congress. The
customs report, just issued. show that since
the passage Of the Chinese restriction act, 10
1882, about $1,000 Chinese have landed at
this port, and out of that number nearly
1900 have been permitted 10 land without
the legal custom certificates.

One of the knights of Labor has been ex-
pressing himself on the recent boycotting
edcts Of that organization, and in conver-
sation with the editor of the NEW NORTH
WEST said: 81 am in hearty sympathy with
the objects of our order, but detest this
word boycott and what 1t implies. believe
that the Chinese in America are an evil; that
they are doing service for good wages all
over this coast which tens OF thousands Of
hon est men and women who are now suffer.
ing in the east would only be too glad to do
for the same compensation. I think the best
thing our order couid do would be to estab-
lish employment agencies in this country,
where every one now employing Chinese
help could secure worthy white persons In
their stead, for whose conduct the Knights
would hold themselves responsible, and
supersede them IL they were dissolute or
worthless" We have no doubt there are
numbers Of members of the Knights of La
bora probably very excellent organization
who hold views as strongly condemnatory
of the pernicious practice of boycotting as
does the one here quoted. Whether they are
numerous enough to override the dema-
gogues whose only thought is self and whose
only panacea for existing evils is anarchy
and brute force, we cannot Of course tell
We believe they are. We are convinced,
however, that II the Knights were to adopt
the sensible and temperate idea advanced by
this one of its members, solution OF the
troublesome Chinese problem uldspeedily
be reached. At any rate such a method
would be much more effectual to amelIorate
the evil than the odious system of boycott
ting, which il inimical to all the free insti-
tutions of which this nation boasts, and,
therefore, more apt to invite antagonism to,
rather than sympathy with, the objects
sought to he attained. OF course, the carry
ing out Of such a scheme involves the estab
lishu ent of an elahorately prepared nrgani-
zatiop, AMI the outlay of a considerable sum
of money; but the knights ought to be able
to prepare flr one, ana would be pecuniarily
assisted by many who are now opposed to
their methods of enforcing their edicfs.
There are very few who do not regard the
presence of Chinese as a bane TO the commu-
nifty; and, could they be replaced with reli-
able white help, rs contemplated In the idea
advanced by the gentleman above quoted,
all would hail the change with unalloyed
satisfaction. But, until some such scheme
is adopted, or the market is better supplied
with Caucasian labor, we fear that boycott
ting edicts will fall far short Of carrying out
the popular manifesto, "The Chinese must
CO." We commend the suggestion to the
state and national assemblies Of the Knights
of Labor As one worthy of their most careful
consideration

New YORK, Nov. 25.-T6nes' Columbus,
Ohio: Rumors of an effort to defeat the
re. election of Sherman come from Demo
cratic sources. A correspondent gets the
information that as all other measures failed,
six Republican members of the house have
been pledged to stay away from Columbus
and prevent organization until after the
time provided by the constitution that bal
loting for senator shall commence. Should
this scheme work, the governor would have
to appoint Sherman's successor until another
legislature was elected, which the Demo-
Gratis would fight more desperately for, II
possible, than they did to capture this one.

GOVERNOR SQUIRE, OF Washington Terri
tory, in his report to Secretary Lamar, gives
the populsti of that Territory at 129, ,43s,
an increase of 30,930 in two years. The
assessed value Of property is $50, 4s4 ,437,
and there are yet 23,0OO,oO0 acres of public
land unsurveyed, of which 100000 are
good agricultural aud timber land. The
Governor states that by the Territorial cen
sus of 1885 there were 3,267 Chinese resi-
dents In the Territory. He says the recent
at, acks on the Chinese in that Territory
have grown out of the fact that the China
men are continually coming across the Dor,
der from British Columbia in violation OF
the restriction act and revision or repeal
of the Burlingame treaty Is necessary fol
the tranquility of the Territory.
