One Provision Suggested.

Absolute free coinage they think, said
Beck, will be detrimental to their inter
ests. He did not think that free coinage
alone could raise the price of silver bull
ION to its coin value. He asked that a
provision be put in the bill so as to allow
person receiving money from the treas
ury the right to demand either silver or
gold, so that in case either metal should
go to premium the receiver would not
be forced to take deprecated money.

Los ANGELES, June 30--An Erening Err
press special from Yuma, says: The water
which began to rise in the Salton salt
mines Saturday afternoon, driving out
the laborers, now covers an area OF ten
miles square. The water is three to eight
feet deep. The lower end of the side track
from the railroad TO the salt works IS gone
and the mines are flooded. Indian Wells,
sixty miles south, is 227 feet above Salton,
and for forty miles square the water is
from three TO five feet deep, being an over =
flow of the Colorado river. All that pre-
vents this water from flowing into Salton
sink is a bank of loose sand nine feet hign
and over a mile wide. Parties in from In
dian wells report the water well up against
this bank. IL is thought the water has
found an underground passage through
the sand into the basin. If so, it will carry
the flood into it. The Colorado Tor ten
miles, has overtown its west bank, and Is
pouring an immense body of water into the
laguna region 1T Indian wells.

EMPLOYEES
The Conductors Do Not Join the
Federation.
The Reasons Therefor-They Don't Like an Or
ganizatiOn that Makes its Laws as Ii GOes
Along, to Suit Emergencies.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 30.-The su-
preme council of the Federation of Rail
way Employees this morning took up the
application of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors for admission. While discussing
the proceeding, however, the conductors
withdrew their application, Grand Chief
Conductor Clark giving his reasons sui
sJantially as follows: 1.-THE application
was Withdrawn because we do not wish to
belong to az organization which makes its
own laws and rules as it goes along, to suit
the emergency. The action of the council
yesterday in expelling the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen settled the mater. Each
organization in the federation is entitled to
three votes on all questions, but because
MIR Sargent was in the chair yesterday the
tirenen were only allowed two votes.
Whenever a representative of a labor or
ganlzation allows personal feeling TO lnfiu-
ence his vote or action, so soon does he iail
in MS duty to his fellow men, and / believe
that feeling has controlled the action of the
council ever since the Chicago meeting"
The application of the Order of Rail-
way Telegrapners was next discussed.
1t was rejected, owing 10 complication ex-
listing between-the Order Of Railway Tele-
graphers and the Brotherhood of Railway
Telegraphers. They will be advised that
until they can harmonic, that neither or
der will be admitted to the federation.
Both orders admit commercial telegraphers
to membership, and it is thought that from
this point detrimental complications might
arise at some future time.
The application of the Brotherhood of
Railway Station Masters was next taken
up. 1t was also rejected. One of the rea-
sons for its rejection is the small member
ship and Door manner of organization.
At noon Messrs. Thurston, of the Order
Of Railway Photographers, and William
Mitchell, grand secretary and treasurer of
the Brotherhood of Railway Station Men,
and other officials of the same orders, met
at the hotel. They formed an alliance and
took steps toward federation.
A meeting will be held in the near future
at which the arrangements will be made
perfect for a second federation of railway
employees. These two organizations were
refused admission to the present fedora
ton and they propose to organize now for
their own protection.

THE OHIO MINERS WILL STRIKE
The Masters and Amalgamated Men In
Pittsburg Agree on a scale-Trouble
in the Bnilding Trade.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Hugh Cavan-
augh, of Cincinnati, and John Devlin, OF
the executive board of the knights OF
Labor, had consultation with Secretary
Foster this afternoon on the subject which
has been at issue sometime between the
chief of the bureau of engraving and
printing and the knights of Labor, in
which the reappointment Of seven plate
printers removed from the bureau Is In
volved. Arrangements were progressing
for u settlement of all differences when q
delegation representing the Federation OF
Labor, rival organization, called at the
treasury department and asked for hear
ing before any agreement was
made with the Knights. The Fedora
ton delegates were admitted and at
once objected strenuously to any conces-
sion being made to tine knights which
would place their men ahead of members of
the federation already on the 'cnance" list
of the bureau waiting employment. This
new complication made any final agree
ment impossible, and the secretary was
compelled TO leave the question pending
until to morrow, or until tue labor organi-
cations can settle the inside hgnt among
themselves.

Production of Aluminium

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The census bS-
reau. in bulletin on the subject of alumni
nun says: ssThis interesting metal has at
las. reached state OF actual production
and the Uuited States is one of the leading
producers" The all important feature OF
the industry at present, however, is an ef-
fort by new processes to reduce the cost Of
making the metal. Prominence is there
fore given 10 the concise and very exact
result of the methods Of extraction OF
aluminium, and their results for a number
of years, with other valuable information
belonging 10 this industry. The product for
the census year of 1889 was IL ,46S pounds,
including in alloys, valued at S91, 535. The
principal sources OF aluminium have here
tofore been crvolite from Greenland and
imported bauxite, but recently discoveries
of bauxite have been made in Arkansas
which will no doubt lead to more ex-
tensive use of the domestic article.
