KANSAS CRY. No, Jan. 5.-The Times
of this city this morning devotes several
of its columns to an expose Of the alleged
ring existing in the penitentiary at Leav-

ments Of Lopez and Keller, who were
formally interested in frauds. The Times
says: 1.-THE scheme for the control and
manipulation of the State coal mine
seems to have originated with DR.. Philip

Less Activfty-Decline OF New York Clear
fngs the Past Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Bradstreet's, in its
review Of the week, says: Special tele-
graphic. reports this week show less
activity in trade generally than in pre-
ceding weeks. The movement of staple
goods has been adversely affected by the
New Years holiday and the mild weather.
The volume Of business has, however,
been exceptionally large for the season,
and the feeling is very hopeful in all lines
Of trade.
Cotton receipts have been very heavy in
Louisiana, but lighter in Texas. Later
news tells Of a heavy drop in cotton re-
ceipts at interior towns. Groceries, dry
goods and drugs are relatively the most
active, while lumber, leather and hardware
are not in specially active request.
Stock speculation at New York has been
dull and depressed on doubts of the ability
or willingness of Western railroad officials
to maintain rates. A slight difficulty
between the Rock Island and other COM
panies regarding passenger rates increased
this disposition.
The bank ciearings at thirty seven cities
for the twelve months of 1888 aggregated
about $49. 1911. 0O0, 900, a decline Of nearly
per cent The decline is due solely to the
heavy decrease in New York City's ag-
gregate of bank clearings, inasmuch as the

of New York, show q net increase over

MINING TROUBLES.

knights of Labor and Union Coal Miners
In Washington Territory Have q Pitched
Battle-Several Killed.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. 5.-A special to
the Pioneer Press from Seattle, w. T.,
says: Since New Years there has been
much wrangling between the knights Of
Labor and the Miners Union, two rival
organizations at the little coal mining
town of Newcastle. eighteen miles from
here. Trouble arose over Miners Union
man being given the preference over q
Knight Yesterday the Knights of Labor
began an attack upon the Miners Union.
A force of fifty Knights cut the telegraph
lines, stationed sentinels and began as
saulting the men at the mines.
The attacking party afterward boarded
the nine O'Clock train at Newcastle. armed
with rifles, and rode to Coal creek. At
that point the regular force of the Miners
Union was attacked by the Knights with
every kind of missile. The train was on q
trestle and some of the leaders were driven
and thrown of, falling seventy feet or
more. They then returned to Newcastle
and assaulted the men there again. Fore
man Duncan Ross was badly injured.
Terrence Mularkey was firing his Win
chester upon the Unionists, so the Miners
Union men brought out their rifles and
opened fire on the Knights and three men
fell. Their names are not yet known.
The sheriff with a posse went 10 New
castle this afternoon aud as the fighting
was very fierce he called for the militia
The latest reports are to the effect that the
trouble is about over. A train arrived late
last night with one corpse. Personal ex-
periences were severe and 8. s. Crobut, of
the Miners Union, who was injured, says
he was first saved by the bad shot of a
knight and was then dubbed down with
the butt end Of the gun. Others jumped
on him and he is badly injured. Other ex-
periences were like this. Exact details
are not now obtainable.

KANSAS EARLY HISTORY.
Ex-Governor Robinson Reflects on thu
Character Of General Lane.

Ex-Governor Robinson Reflects on the
Character OF General Lame.
LEAvsNwoRrH. Kan. Jan. AT the
meeting Of the Kansas Conmandery Loyal
Legion last night, Ex-Governor Charles
Robinson delivered an address on the early
history of Kansas, during which. after re-
lating the causes that led TO the war, and
the part taken by the state, he referred
to General j. II. Lanes career on the
border at that time. Among other things
he said: But what was worse than rebels,
redlegs and bushwhackers, one of our
United States Senators conceived an am
bition to be not only Senator, but Briga-
der General and Governor of Kansas.
His authority to act as General he OBJ
tanned in Washington. but when he APP
piled for the Governors chair he was po-
litely told that there was but one such
chair in the executive office and that was
occupied. His refusal to abdicate in favor
of the Senator General must be punished,
and an alliance was made with the red
legs and hell was let loose all along the
border"
The Governor then described the theft OF
two fine horses from prominent citizen
at Paola by Lanes men under his son-in-
law, but Lane was compelled to gise them
up, as the owner had q very caus ic pen
which he feared. Samson himself, with
full grown locks, would have beei impo-
tent to preserve the peace on the border.
The Senator General obtained auth ority to
raise two regiments, which he imms diately
filed with officers from Colonel down, but
the men were few and far between.
The Governor then related how he was
denounced by Lane as disloyal, aid even
the officers at Fort Leavenworth. where
General Hunter was in command, came
under his malediction. After Lane pro-
claimed himself Brigadier- General by ap-
pointment of the President and verified by
proclamation by the latter, the Governor
appointed Hon. F. p. Stanton Senator to
occupy the vacant seat. This sim
plified matters, as both Senator and
President went back on their state.
ments and no Brigadier-Generaps com
mission could be found. The speeches de-
livered by Lane at Leavenworth aud the
appointment of Stanton had the effect of
materially clipping his wings. The Gov
srnor soon after received authority to or
ganize and consolidate the Lane regi-
ments and put some private soldiers into
them. On one occasion when Secre-
tary Stanton sent him a telegram
to commission certain of Lanes
officers or he would do SO himself,
Governor Robinson replied that he
might possess the power to override the
Constitution and laws but he had not the
power to make the Governor of Kansas
dishonor his own State. Lanes military
campaign on the border was marked with
the most revolving crime and outrage
while his civil career was unparalleled.
The address was quite lengthy. ind will
create large amount of discussion in this
State and the Missouri border. {.
