Many Have only Trees for n Roof
Riots Feared.

--Iti0ts Feared.
CHICAGO, July IA special from
Grape Creek, ILL.,, says There is prospect
of riot over the importation of negroes
by the Grape Creek Coal Company TO take
the places of the striking miners. The
strikers declare that the new men cannot
work under any circumstances and that
they will resist force with force. The
sheriff Of Nermillion county has 40 special
deputies on the ground and will do all in
his power to maintain order il the negroes
conclude TO go to work.
There were over / 900 strikers when
the present strike began but the number liz
now reduced to 700 or 800. All are desti
tute and the condition of many OF them
is absolutely appalling, the women and
children having barely sufficient clothing
TO cover them and hardly sufficient food
TO exist on. The men insist that they will
never surrender. Most of them are for
eigners, Germans predominating.
The stnkers have been ont most OF the
tine for ~ months. late last fall they
accepted the company's rate and even
underbid each other for work, there not
being employment for all on account Of
the company's business having greatly
fallen OF in consequence Of the long con
tinued strike. Az soon as spring opened
they renewed their demand for the Pitts
burg rate of rs cents a ton and went
ont on May l. They have since been
evicted from the company's houses and
arc subsisting in the woods on percent
ages from the union and the charity OF
the surrounding country. A few of them
have put up slab shanties, some have
tents and others seek any shelter they
can find, most of the time having only
the protection Of the trees.

One OF the most praiseworthy among
recent acts Of President Cleveland was
his veto Of a bill granting the 81. Paul,
Minneapolis 4 Manitoba Railway Com
pany Wholesale railroad franchises through
the Indian reservation Of northern Mon
tana. The region is very spArsely settled
and there are no indications that the
Indians OF any other inhabitants there
about are suffering for railway facilities,
or that there is likely soon TO be such a
call thamas 10 warrant the construction
Of railroadsthers upon legitimate business
principles. Capitalists who really want
to put money into honest railroading can
find plenty of more promising avenues
for investment in the new states and ter
iitories, without seeking to parallel the
Northern Pacific still farther to the north
and through section where the Missouri
river and its branches are amply sufficient
to meet the requirements of prospective
trade for long time TO come. It is a
fAirpresumptiont that there was big land
grabbing section tackled on 70 the bill,
for the reason that it is simply inconeeiv-
ablewhy any one should think oflocAting
an unsubsidized line through that
country. And the American people are
sick Of railroad land grants. But there
is queer sequel TO this veto. Il is alleged
that Jslnes q. Hill, the president of the
company Aaldng this franchise, subscribed
S25 900 TO the Democratic national cam.
paign fund Of 1884. and there are some
people who argue that the Presidents
veto is an act Of ingratitude TO one who con
tributed so literally towards his election.
Would these carpers have us believe that
Mr.. Hill thought, when he mado that con.
tribution, be was buying a prospective
President? II 80, the verdict of the PEG
pie is sure TO be ''served him right" But
Notwithstanding his railroad venture, Mr.
Hill is not fairly liable to so vile an asrer

WASHINGTON, July l2.-The President
has Fashioned X. Porter Lee, now con-
fined in the Buffalo penitentiary for EN-.
beZzlement. The following is the Presi-
dents memorandum in regards TO this
case
This convict was sentenced in November
1852, at u term OF the circuit court OF the
United States, held at Syracuse In the
northern district OF New York TO be confined
In the penitentlary at the city OF Buffalo for
inc term OF 10 years upon a conviction for
embe2zling the funds OF tho First
National Bank at Buffalo while he
was president thereof. While this
Is statutory offence and some.
what technical In Its character the
public Is so much interested In the security
Of our banking institutions and such strict
taith and care should be demanded OF those
having them In charge that am much dis.
Inclined TO extend clemency to the properly
found guilty offences like that OF which this
prisoner was convicted, l am entirely
familiar with this case and knew the prisoner
long time before his conviction, His
sentence was generally regarded ut the
time II was pronounced as very severe
one, being the full extent OF the law. With
the Communication allowed In the state Of
New York for good conduct In prison, he
has served sentence Of tlvo years. and II
is entirely certain In my mind that what
ever good Is ever TO be wrought upon him
individually has already been accomplIshed
AZ the time OF his conviction his wife-a
noble, courageous and devoted woman
AND i've small children were the sufferers
for his crime and exaeted the sympathy OF
me entire community. By her patient, hard
labor, 70 support her children, and her
never fniliuU frIIat mil hnT.a, IT, n
days, this wife has demonstrated that she nj
least is entitled to clemency.
am glad to be able to restore 10 her her
husband and to be satisfied that the ends Of
Justice arc fully answered.
