Strike ON the IIiinois Central.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-One thousand
freight conductors, brakemen and switch
men of the Illinois Central struck last
night. followed by 300 passenger train
men. This morning not n wheel is turn
ing on the road here. Everything is quiet.
The strike is for the discharge of an OBJ
noxious superintendent, Russell, and the
reinstatement of two minor officials.
The strikers this afternoon ordered all
branches of the road i'm Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa to tie up. IL is said not q
wheel Is turning north OF the Ohio river.
The men insist on the dismissal of
Superintendent Russell, whose jurisdic-
ton extends over the lines in Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin. They have many
grievances against him. Trainmasters
were discharged by him, as mentioned in
these dispatches last night. The men did
not wish to be held responsible for inter
fering with the United States mails or ex-
press matter, and consequently attached
mail and express cars to the line OF the
New Orleans mail train to-day. The gen
eral superintendent, however. refused to
start the train until the passenger coaches
were attached. The strikers warned him
that he detained the mail and express at
the company's risk. General Manager
Beck and General Superintendent Sulli-
van had a conference with the strikers
this afternoon. The men stated their de-
termination not TO return to work until
Superintendent Russell has been dis
missed. The only conclusion arrived at
was that the company would resist the
mems demand.
The tie-up will cause serious trouble
not only locally but throughout a large
section of the country both west and
south. The suburban traffic of the road
is enormous, the largest ia the United
States. Trains run i'm aud out of the city
every few minutes from o o'clock i'm the
morning until midnight, and are crowded.
All the people, many Of whom live be
yond the cable car limits, are now thrown
upon their own resources for transporta-
ton. but II Is not this that will trouble the
commercial world. To stop freight traffic
on the Illinois Central means to prevent
thousands Of people i'm Northern Iowa,
Southern Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana from getting
their products 10 market.

The Dunbar IDisaster.

DUNBAR, Pa. June 24.-The miners
broke into the Hill Farm mine at 80 this
morning and hope to hear from the inn
prisoned men this afternoon.
A later dispatch from the scene of the
wrecked mine says the report that the
rescuers had broken into the Hill Farm
mine this morning was false. The report
arose from the fact that the rescuing
party broke through q heavy "gob" into
small opening. The foreman under
whose direction this mine was mined
says the working party will probably get
into the mine during the early morning
hours. All hopes OF finding the men
alive Is abandoned.

They Want to Fight a Duel,

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, June 24.-Social
circles were startled Monday by the rumor
of proposed duel between two prominent
and popular young men, Wilber Ying and
Charley Benson. The stories of the
quarrel which led up to the duel in some
respects are entirely different. The name
of beautiful society leader was first used
I'm connection with the affair. Now friends
and acquaintances of both Ying and Ben
son Indignantly denounce that portion
of the rumor. Wiser opinions trace
the difference between the young
men to another source. Ying and Ben
son have been on bad terms for some
time. Their business relations were
strained and their intimates declare that
q dispute about money debts that actually
existed really occasioned the quarrel.
Benson met Ying near the postoffice Nom
day morning and the encounter was
punctuated by some extremely hot words.
Benson is said to have precipitated mat
ters by calling his former friend a liar,
receiving an equally angry retort i'm re-
turn. When the parties separated IL was
understood that duel to the death should
be fought Tuesday afternoon. The police
were notified. but no arrests have yet
been made, as no attempt has been made
to get up the fight.

The court Of appeals decision in the

Of the lower courts dissolving the trusts

however, the clerk announced that there
had been a mistake in preparing the de-
cision. His deputy clerk had left out the
most important feature of the decision,
viz: the fact that the court had affirmed
the two decisions of the lower courts.

He had not seen Il and had never heard

ganized they might have been founded
upon a belief In the passage of the house
bill, because IL opened the door 10 the

coinage was the only way to secure n sta

LONDON, June 2i.-In the commons to-
night Healey asked the speaker to rule on
the question of whether there was any
precedent for an ear-mark licensing fund.
The speakers reply created a sensa-
ton. He made a long speech giving the
opinion that there was no precedent for
such fund. To allow an ear-marking
license fund to accumulate as the
government proposed, he thought was a
grave innovation, which the house itself
ought to decide upon. The ruling was
received with opposition cheers.
After further debate, the ministers re-
tired to discuss the speakers opinion.
Lords Harrington and Chamberlain adj
vised the cabinet TO drop the clauses. No
definite conclusion was arrived at
but il is generally understood that
Richie and Goschen have recognized
the impossibility of retaining the clauses
and will allow them to be dropped. while
retaining their portfolios. On returning
to the house Smith asked the further con-
sideration Of the licensing bill be post
poned to give the government time to

ised to announce the decision next Thurs

FIRE IN The FORESTS
Travellers Meet With Hair-Breadth
Escapes from the Flames-lm-
mense Quantities OF Tim
Der Destroyed.

BOULDER, Colo. June "a. - Adolph
Traub, q commercial traveller, left this
place for Ward, the big mining camp 80
miles distant yesterday, but returned on
the advice OF teamsters driving down from
that camp. Several Of them had met with
hair-breadth escapes passing through the
flames OF burning woods and one of them
even showed his badly burned blankets as
testimony TO the close shave he had un-
derRone. For two or three days the woods
have been on fire and on Sunday a great
deal OF difficulty was experienced in fight
ing the flames away from the immense
shaft houses and mill Of the Niwot Min
ing company Of which ex-senator Tabor
town OF Ward, with hundreds of resi-
dcnces and business houses, and shaft
houses, would he swept away.
The story of these teamsters is confirm
atory OF the suspicion that the fire would
take course down toward the left hand,
where the costly Boston mill is being
built and other enterprises stand. The
gravest apprehensions exist at this mo-
ment. There are great mining enterprises
AT Ward, six concentrating mills, expen-
sive mining plants, several stores and
hundreds OF residences, and the little
hamlet Is now an active scene of mining
life. Seven hundred cords of firewood
were burned at Niwot yesterday, and IL Is
feared that much other valuable property
has been destroyed I'm that neighborhood.
The total loss cannot he estimated ut
present, as the fires are spreading, and
owing To the warm and dry weather IL is
impossible even TO predict how far the
fiames will travel before they are sub
dued.
BOULDER, Col, June 25.-2a. m.-Word
was received this morning that the mills
and works at the Puxzler and Boston
mines were destroyed late last evening.
Over 1000 acres of valuable timber was
also burned. The loss will be large but

Their Party Principles.
SPRINGFIELD, June A.-The republi-
can state convention to-day nominated
the following ticket: Treasurer, Franz
Amberg of Chicago; superintendent Of
public instruction, DIR. Richard A. Ed
wards, present incumbent. Trustees OF the
state university was also nominated. The
platform renews the declarations of q free
and honest ballot and count, and recon-
mends the enactment OF the Australian
ballot system by the next general
assembly; also the bill now before
congress. National and state action
Is urged against trusts and combines,
whereby the prices OF necessaries are un-
Justly enhanced; and combinations OF
common car carriers whereby me ne expense OF OF
placed at such extortionate figures as TO
amount TO confiscation OF both the farm
and labor. The platform maintains that
no corporation or company should he per-
mitted to get more than reasonable per
cent on the actual capital invested and
ployes; that dividends on watered stock
are robbery. The platform endorses
the republican platform OF 1883
and favors the. use OF both
gold and silver rs money. Liberal
pensions are favored, the importance Of
the temperance queStton - retoRuheu
and ''all proper and practical methods for
abating the evils OF the liquor traffic."
and favored. The administration of Presi-
dent Harrison is cordially endorsed as are
also the rules of the house of representa-
tives- "by which the rule of the majority
in congress Is made effective notwith-
standing the fllibustering tactics OF the
democratic minority whose only purpose
seems TO be to prevent and obstruct wise
legislation" On the school question the
platform says: 1--WE recognize the
American public school system as
the chief agency in securing intelligent
citizenship and the chief bulwark OF pop
ular liberties, and we declare in favor Of
compulsory education law, which will
guarantee TO all children OF the state am
pie opportunity Of acquiring such an ele-
mentary education as will fit them for
idtelligent duties when they reach the age
of manhood, but we are at the same time
opposed to any arbitrary interference with
the rights Of parents or guardians to edu-
cate their children at private schools, no
matter where located. We favor the
amendment of the existing compulsory
education law so as to conform To the
declarations herein set forth, and also the
repeal of so much Of the said law as pro-
yides for public supervision over private
schools"
