CITY VS.. STATE.
CLASHING AUTHORITIES AT SPO-
KANE FALLS.
tween the City and State Authorities.
Arrests and Counter Arrests Made.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, June 24.-All
day long the city has been deeply ex-
cited over the conflict between the city
and state authorities. A struggle has
been pending for some time between the
City Park Transit Company and
the Spokane Falls Street Railway Com
pany, for the privilege of laying street
car lines ON Division street. At the last
meeting of the council that body ordered
both companies to tear up their tracks
from the sides of the streets, and gave
the City Park Transit Company privilege
to lay track in the center of the street.
The City Park Transit Company
obeyed the order, but the Spokane
Street Railway Company did not and
instead, obtained an injunction from
the superior court to restrain the tear
ing-up of their tracks. At O'Clock this
morning the difficulty began. A large
force of laboring men in the employ of
the City Park Transit Company began
tearing up the tracks of their opponents,
being protected by large force of po-
lice. Judge Kannard, of the superior
court, then issued restraining order,
ana AcIlnS- S-MayOr DaVluSOn, 0CreeC
Superintendent Swinglot and Alderman
Covey were arrested for contempt of
court. Soon thereafter Sheriff Hinch-
life and Deputy Hugh drove to the
scene and placed Chief of Police Hub
bard and his captains under arrest.
They submitted and in turn or
dered the police to arrest the
sheriff and his deputy. Then
all parties went before Judge Kannard.
Judge Kannard was annoyed over the
resistance to his orders, and directed
the sheriff to enforce them and to tear
up the new track of the Transit Com
pany, if he had to call on every able
bodied man in the county. The sheriff
gathered two hundred and fifty depu-
ties, and going to Division street tore up
the track of the Transit Company, and
relaid the track of the Spokane Street
Railway Company, thus leaving matters
where they were at the beginning of the
struggle, and placing it in the superior
court for determination. A special ses-
sion of the city council is now in session,
but as yet has taken no steps in the
matter.

The Turner's Platform

New YORK, June 24.-The Turner'S
convention today adopted resolution
signifying disapproval of any change in
the present immigration laws, and
pledging the members not to support
any congressional candidate who did not
so think. The next bunds funniest
will be held at Milwaukee in 1898, and
the next convention at Washington in
1892. A resolution was passed looking
to the adoption of the Australian ballot
reform system, and the election of the
president by popular vote instead of by
electors. The proposition to establish a
life insurance company among the MEM
bers of the Turner'S Bund was rejected.

The End of a Feud

KANSAS Cry, June PA Times spe-
cial from Yates Centre, Kansas, says a
family feud ended today in bloody
tragedy. For several years A. E.
Coe and his two brothers-in-law,
Nathaniel and Adrian Auglin, who
had farms adjoining his, kept up a
family feud, the origin of which is un-
known. This morning Coe went into
the field where Nathaniel was work
ing and shot him dead. He
then opened fire on Adrian,
and shattered his arm, leaving him for
dead. He returned home and shot his
wife dead, then sent bullet through
his own head, dying instantly. The cor
oner is investigating.

The Machinists' Strike.
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
The International Annual Convention in
Session at Pittsburg.

PrTTsBURG, June 24.-The interna-
tional Sunday school convention met
this morning. Twelve hundred dele
gates were present from all the states
and territories, and provinces of Canada,
representing all the evangelical denomi-
nations. At the afternoon session Presi-
dent Reynolds spoke at length of work
in the field. New England now, instead
OF being the fold at which the great west
draws its missionary supplies, is a
missionary field itself. The vast
number of foreigners coming in
has created a demand that never ex-
listed before for missionaries right in the
heart of New England. In the south
both white and colored people are inter-
ested, and great work is being done. In
the west and northwest, so far as Sun
day schools are concerned, no states in
the union are better supplied. Al
though the organizations are weak, they
are improving, and the outlook in the
west is glorious. Summing up, he said,
all over the world and all over this great
country, Sunday school work is in a
more prosperous condition than ever.
The people are dropping their denomi-
national preiudices, and realizing more
and more that if this country is ever to
be saved the Sunday school must be the
means. And not only Christianity, but
thinking men of all classes are looking
to this institution as the mainstay OF
our nation"
Major Jarris, of Alabama, was then
elected president, and other officers
were chosen. Adjourned till tomorrow.

A BIG TIE-UP.
Not a Wheel Turning ON the
Illinois Central.
The Roads Immense Traffic at
a Standstill.
ALI on Account of an Obnoxious
Superintendent.
The Trainmen Demand His Removal Be-
fore They Will Allow Operations
to Resume.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

CHICAGO, June a. - One thousand
freight conductors, brakemen and
switchmen of the Illinois Central struck
last night, followed by three hundred
passenger trainmen this morning. Not
a wheel was turning on the road here
today. Everything isquiet. The strike
is for the discharge of an obnoxious SUI
perintendent, Russell, and the rein
statement of two minor officials.
The strikers this afternoon ordered all
the branches of the road in Illinois,
Wisconsin and Iowa tied up. 1t is said
not a wheel is moving 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. Train-masters
were discharged by him as mentioned in
these dispatches last night.
The men did not want to be held re-
sponsible for interfering with the United
States mail or express matter, and con-
sequently attached the mail and express
cars to the New Orleans mail train
today. The general superintendent,
however, refused to start the train until
passenger coaches were attached, and
the strikers warned him that he de-
tanned the mail and express at the COM
pany's risk.
General Manager Beck and General
Superintendent Sullivan had confer
ence with the strikers this afternoon
The men stated their determination not
to return to work until Superintendent
Russell was dismissed. The only con-
clusion arrived at was that the company
would resist the mems demand.
The tie-up will cause serious trouble,
not only locally, but throughout large
section of country both west and south
The suburban traffic of the road is
enormous, the largest in the United
States. Trains run in and out of the
city every five minutes from O'Clock in
the morning until midnight, and are
crowded. All the people, many of whom
live beyond the cable-car limits, are now
thrown upon their own resources for
transportation. But it is not this that will
trouble the commercial world. To stop
the freight traffic of the Illinois Central
means to prevent thousands of people in
Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louis
lana from getting their products to
market.

The German Army Bill.

BERLIN, June 24.-There was a spir-

the army bill. Chancellor Won Caprivi
declared that the federal government
would neither drop the bill nor accept
amendments. The federal government
could not agree to curtail the service,
but he was authorized to say that much
larger number of men would be placed
on the retired list in the autumn. The
federal government had met the reich
stag quite far enough He therefore
urged the adoption of the bill. The de-
bate was adjourned

$1,000 of which was done to Gourley's S

Strange Accident in a Tunnel at Ts

coma.
TACOMA, June 24.-Last night John
Miller and three companions entered
the water front tunnel on a hand car.
When well in they discovered train
rapidly approaching from the other end.
The tunnel is too narrow to allow hand
car to be lifted to one side, SO Miller ran
forward to try to stop the train with a
lantern, while the others started back on
the hand car. Miller succeeded in
tagging the train and stood aside to let
it pass, but there happened to be a
broken rail at that very spot, and the
first car jumped the track and crushed
him against the wall, half burying him
under the earth and timber. His body
stood right up against the wall with his
arm extended, holding the lantern for
more than an hour before being dug out.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
Bandits Said to be Making all the
Trouble,

TrOuDIe,
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 24.-Sef1or
Gonzales, wealthy merchant of Tam
pico, Mexico, arrived here today, and
says the alleged revolution is nothing
more or less than bold attempt of a
well-organized band of bandits to commit
robbery. Last Friday they attacked
a train near Monterey. It carried a
valuable load of bullion, and was guarded
by soldiers, and in the battle which en-
sued, several OF the bandits were killed.
Notwithstanding Gonzales's statement,
the belief prevails here that revolution
ary movements are on foot.

What Pueblo Mill Men Say of Hart
vile Iron.
Pronounce the Bessemer Ore
Something Superior.
Letters Addressed to a Dozen Big
Eastern Firms.

j. c. Baird and A. ]. Parshall, the
iron inquiry committee. have returned
from Pueblo strongly impressed with the
f~orceful arguments naturally conveyed by
viewing a thriving city founded on the
iron industry, They were shown
through the various extensive establish
ments of Bessemer, Paeblo's Cambria
and secured facts aud figures which will
materially aid in the work of inducing
the development of Cheyenne's iron re-
sources. An exhaustive written report
will be submitted tn the Board of Trade
this week. Mr.. Baird, who learned the
trade in Pntsburx pudding mills,
says the methods of treating iron
are constantly being improved and that it
is now quite as cheap to re luce ore to
Bessemer steel as to pig. The Pueblo
people told the Cheyenne committee that
this town had a bonanza IN its Hartville
Bessemer steel ores, large lots of which
have been tested in the Colorado mills.
Pueblo's iron start was an insignificant
mill put in as al experimental venture.
1t was a big success and the town quickly
became the iron center OF the west.
Local iron men are by no means idle. A
reporter who dropped into the Office of
Theo. Menges the other day found that
gentleman addressing the twelfth letter to
a series of that number sent to eastern
iron companies. Each letter contains
written information on the deposits north
of this place, much printed matter and
the request that If the re ,ipient does not
care to investigate he hand the matter to
someone who may be looking for a new
location. The addresses were picked
from the commercial reports and the firms
written to are responsible. OF the dozen
three or four will doubtless reply.

An Interesting Decision.


Assistant Secretary Chandler has rem
dered a decision modifying the decision of
the commissioner of the general land Office
in the case of ex-parte Edwin j. Eaton,
holding for cancellation his desert land
entry, for GAO acres, atthe Buffalo, Wyo..
land district, on the ground OF a failure to
make proof within the time required by
law. The claimant made affidavit of ex-
cuse, in one of which he alleges that
about the time of making the said entry
twenty seven other desert land entries of
contiguous lands were made by residents
of Colorado Springs, Colo, and that he
and these entrymen formed n corporation
called the Big Horn Ditch company for
the purpose of constructing and irrigating
these lands; that after great delay and
expense the ditch was finally completed
and the water was turned in from the Big
Horn Ri ser, but the river fell and the
water refused to run in the ditch, which
was a consequence of the long droughts.
Therefore the final proof could not be
made. because the lands were not Irri-
gated in such a manner to the extent as
required by law. Judge Chandler holds
that it is shown that the failure to re-
claim this land within the three years al
lowed by law was the result Of obstacles
shat could not be controlled and there is
no adverse claimant. In this case there
must be a new advertisement and new
proof, which, if satisfactory, may be sub
mitted to the board of equitable adiudi-
cation for relief. Ninety days are allowed
10 which to submit new proofs.
