superintended under the California

THE MINERS, WAR.
The Trouble at Bevier, Mo-, Far
From Being Settled.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, December Sit now
seems settled fact that the disturbances
at Bevier, Mo-, where serious riot &C.
Cured on the night of the 9TH inst, are
by no means settled, and that the future
must develop more serious disturbances
1t is said that when any of the strikers
at Bevier go elsewhere to work they are
refused work if it is known that they
come from Bevier and belong to the la
Dor federation there. 1t is said that if
the State refuses to interfere there will
be more armed men 60 to Bevier. The
disarming of both sides at Bevier seems
to be hard thing to do. General Jami-
son says the only way it can be done is
for the Governor to declare the town un-
der martial law. There are two armed
bodies of men, many in barricades, and
if any on the other side fires off his gun
accidentally or otherwise, it is a war sig
nal and the war begins. Governor
Morehouse will 60 to Bevier and look
over the ground with Adjutant- General
Jamison. Last night the store and
buildings of Loomis Snively, one of the
leading miners of Revier, were burned,
and it is claimed the fire was incendiary.
THE MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, December 9.-Gov-
ernor Morehouse, who is now at Bevier,
has ordered out the militia and Colonel
Moore will leave at 6 O'Clock in the
morning with two companies of the
Third Regiment for the scene of the re.
cent trouble.

What the Solons May he Expected TO
DO This Week.

WASHINGTON, December Elm the
| Senate this week the substitute for the
Mills Tariff bill will be taken up every
day Immediately after the miscellaneous
business of the morning hour. This bill
contains 100 printed pages, and last
week an average of 10 pages day were
disposed OF, but in view of the efforts of
Harris and Mcpherson of the minority,
and Plumb of the majority, to procure
the adoption of amendments now pend
ing, and making allowance for others to
be offered, it is hardly possible that the
measure will be returned to the House
until after Christmas. The Union Pacific
Funding bill is on the calendar for We'd
nesday afternoon, but the friends of the
Tariff bill expect it to be postponed.
Plumb has given notice that he will ask
the Senate to take up the Des Mojnes
River Lands bill, passed by the House
last week, but it will not be done until
the Tariff bill is out OF the way.
Under the rules of the House the first
business in order tomorrow after the call
of States for the introduction and refer
ence of bills, is the consideration of pusi-
ness pertaining to the District of Colum-
bia. Tuesday and Wednesday will be
devoted to the discussion and final vot-
ing upon the Direct Tax bill. District
Columbia and Pension Appropriation
bills will be taken up Thursday, and the
legislative week will close with further
of the bill to Incorporate
he Maritime Canal Company, of Nicar-
aqua.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, December 9.-The
Alta says editorially: ga local paper
seems to think that the Constitution for
bids erecting new States within the juris-
diction Of existing States. This view was
held by the constitutional lawyers when
West Virginia was made State, in order
to add two Senators to the Republican
side, but West Virginia became State
in spite of the Constitution, and California
by that precedent can be torn in two like
a cats carcass by two contending dogs.
II not, then West Virginia is not entitled
to Statehood
MORE SUGAR FROM JAVA.
The German bark H. Hackfeld arrived
to-day from Honolulu with about $50

more barks from Java with sugar are ex
pected to arrive. What action Collector
Hager will pursue with reference to these
last cargoes is unknown, the sugar being
similar in grade to that of the bark
Westmeath which was seized.
