Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SEATTLE, June 30.-Everythingi is quiet
at Franklin to-day. The presence OF the
militia on the ground restrains both
from continuing the race war, but from
Newcastle, Black Diamond and Gilman
there are threatening rumors that denote
serious trouble in the next forty-eight
hours.
There are now nearly two hundred
negroes at work at Newcastle. The
strikers have done nothing yet, but are
reported to be making secret prepara-
tions for some decisive move. Company
D, n. G.. W., now at Franklin, has
been placed under marching orders, and
will be taken to Newcastle, thirty miles
away, in a special train kept ready for
the purpose, on the first intimation of
trouble there.
At Black Diamond the situation has
changed for the worse. When the miners
struck six weeks ago it was not because
of any dissatisfaction with the Black
Diamond Coal Company, but because of
sympathy with the miners who had been
driven out by negroes taken into Frank
lin by the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, which is a rival of the Black
Diamond corporation, and it was sup
posed that the men would return to work
as soon as matters could be settled. The
miners agreed to return to work upon
the old terms, but to-day they notified
the Superintendent that if they returned
the Miners Union must have the en-
ploying and discharging Of all men. This
the Superintendent refused to accede to-
and Immediately y posted notice that any
white man who wishes work may secure
it whether he belongs to the union or not
Black Diamond is only a short dis
tance from Franklin, and the camps will
probably join forces in fighting the two
corporations. a detachment of militia is
held in reserve to go to Black Diamond
upon moments notice.
At Gilman the Home Guards, composed
OF miners, are drilling daily. The Seattle
Coal and Grain Company has been send
ing up few nOn-uniOn miners daily, but
they have been met at the train by large
body of armed men. A large force of
guards and Deputy Sheriffs are at Gilman
for the purpose of protecting all who
wish to work, but out Of the 100 men sent
only eight or ten have dared to stay, and
these have strong guard protecting
them day and night. 1t is thought that
the company will take in several hun
dred men tomorrow, protected by Com
pany L, now assembled in the armory,
and that a military guard will be MAIN
tanned until the strikers give up the con-
hict.
A large number of rifles were shipped
to Gilman from Tacoma to-day. 1t is
thought that within the next forty-eight
hours every coal mine in this county will
be manned by non-union miners, work
ing under the protection of tho National
Guard. 1t is feared that serious trouble
viii result at all of the places, as there
are over 200 strikers who will see in the
introduction of negro and non-union
labor disappearance of their last hope of
employment in the mines Of King

the application of the Order of Railway
Conductors for admission. While dis
cussing the proceedings, however, the
conductors withdrew their application,
Grand Chief Conductor Clark giving his
reason substantially as follows:
1.-The application was withdrawn be-
cause we do not wish to belong to an
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 matter.
Each organization in the federation is en-
titled to three votes ON all questions, but
because Mr.. Sargent was in the chair yes
terday the firemen were only allowed two
votes. Whenever q representative of a
labor organization allows personal feel
ing TO influence his vote or action, so soon
does he fail in his duty to his fellow
men, and L believe personal feeling has
controlled the action Of the council ever
since the Chicago meeting"
The application of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers was next discussed, but
was rejected, owing to complications eX-
listing between the Order OF Railway
Telegraphers and Brotherhood of Railway
Telegraphers. They will be advised that
until they can harmoniZe neither organi-
Zation will be admitted to the federation.
Both orders admit commercial telegraph
ers to membership, and it is thought that
from this point detrimental complica-
tions might arise at some future time.
The application of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Station Masters was next taken
up and also rejected. One of the reasons
for the rejection is the small membership
and poor manner of organization.
At noon MesSrs. Thurston, of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers, and William
Mitchell, Grand Secretary and Treasurer
of the Brotherhood of Railway Station
Men, and other officials of the same or
ders, met at the hotel, formed an alliance
and took steps toward federation. A
meeting will be held in the near future ut
which arrangements will be perfected for
a second federation of railway employees.
These two organizations were refused ad-
mission to the present federation, and
they propose to organize now for their
own protection.

of the Mint was asked to-day what he

tary is wise and will commend itself to

The trade-dollar bullion, now unavail-
able assets, will be made available for

coinage
''Was the Secretary confined by law TO
the coinage of the standard dollar out of
the trade-dollar hullion?''
"Yes. The Trade-dollar Act of 1887
gave the Secretary discretion whether to
coin it into standard dollars or subsidi-
ary coin. The total number of trade dol
lars redeemed under this Act was 1852
036. This, after being melted into stand
ard bars, was used until this year as
stock for the coinage OF subsidiary silver
as needed. The entire amount redeemed
on the Pacific Coast has been used for
subsidiary coin, together with about ST.
800, 900 in the East, leaving 5000, 1861 un-
coined"

Tired of Harsh Treatment.

SANTA Rosa, June Information
was filed in the Superior Court this
morning charging Adolph Fralker with
attempting to kill a man named nall, for
whom he worked, near Windsor. The
little fellow put carbolic acid in his en-
ployer's coffee in order to get away. He
says he did not know the stuff was poison.
He merely put It in because it smelled
badly. He wanted to get away on ac-
count of harsh treatment. He says Hall
made him work in the corn field all day,
and expected him to take two rows and
keep up with the hired man who hoed
one. The lad is an orphan, and unusually
small for his years. Much sympathy is
felt for the diminutive prisoner.

Los ANGELES, June 30.-An EUeat7lq
Express special from Yuma says: Water
continues to rise in the Salton mines,
driving out the laborers. 1t now covers
an area of ten miles square, 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. In
dian Wells, sixty miles south, is POT feet
above Salton, and for forty miles square
the water is from three to five feet deep,

All that prevents this water from flow
ing into the Salton Sink is q bank of
loose sand nine feet high and one mile
wide. Parties in from Indian Wells re-
port the water well against this. 1t is
thought the water has found under
ground passage through the sand into

ALUMINIUM.

On the Subject.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Census
Bureau, in a bulletin on the subject of
aluminium, says: This interesting metal
has at last reached stage of actual pro-
duction, and the United States is now one
of the leading producers. The all-im-
portant feature of the industry at present,
however, is the effort by new processes
to reduce the cost of working the metal.
Prominence is therefore given to u con-
else and very exact resume of the
methods of extraction of aluminium, and
their results for number of years, with
other valuable information leading to this
industry. The product for the census
year, 1890, was Al, ,46S pounds, including
aluminium in alloys, valued at S97, ,335.
The principal sources of aluminium have
heretofore been cryolite from Greenland
and imported bauxite, but recently dis
discoveries of bauXite have been made in
Arkansas, which will no doubt lead to a
more extensive use of the domestic
