THE FRANKLIN MINES.
SEATTLE, May 20.-A special to
the Post-Intelligencer from the
Franklyn mines says that everything
is quiet there, although the dead
line, guarded by Pinkertons, is
maintained. White miners are
showing signs of yielding. Several
families left town today, selling their
shanties which were built on the
company's property to the company,
which puts negroes in possession at
once. An increased force of negroes
was put to work this morning and
more will be put in tomorrow. A
party of white miners went to the
house of j. l.. Fry, the white engi'
neer of the hoisting engine, who
refused to quit work, and assailed
his wife verbally, so that she had to
take refuge with her husband in the
engine house. At Newcastle, the
other camp of the Oregon Improve
ment company, feeling runs very
high because a few men have stayed
at work at the pumps and engines.
Sheriff Woolery and his deputy left
Seattle at 7 o'clock and made the
run to Newcastle in quick time.
When they arrived at Newcastle
they boarded special engine and
ran up to Coal creek, where the
mines are situated. They remained
short time and started on the re-
turn toNewcastle, going at veryslow
rate of speed. Suddenly from out of
the thick forests which hemmed in
the roadbed came the sharp reports
of firearms. The flash of every shot
was seen by those aboard, who ex-
pected to feel the thud Of the leaden
missiles. Sheriff Woolery thinks
the number Of shots fired at the
train was about twenty, but Others
place the number at thirty. The
last shot was made at the engine
just as it pulled into town, where
most of the miners were congregated,
The shooting is laid at the doors OF
the hoodlum element. The shooting
is probably the direct result Of the
placing of new men at the bollert
and pumps in place of those who
went out at o'clock. Sheriff Wool
cry was exasperated at the action o
the men who did the shooting He
remained at Newcastle until {
o'clock yesterday morning, when he
returned to Sattle.
ANOTHER CONGRESS.
DENVER, May 20.-North, south
and West sank all sectional interest
at the first session of the trans
Mississippi congress, which opened
here yesterday. When the conven'
ton was called to order by Mr., Fish
back, chairman of the local Organi
zation, fully a thousand delegates
were present. Governor Route on
behalf of the state welcomed the
delegates. Chairman Fishbaek de
precated the sectional bitterness
but warned the convention not to b,
blinded by the vital question await
ing settlement. Despite develop
ments nine states in the New Eng
land corner of the country controlled
the wealth Of the people. They
dominated politics and succeeded in
demonetizing silver.
AT the afternoon session, Mayor
Shakespeare, of New Orleans, made
n speech in which he referred to the
recent events in New Orleans, and
said he thanked the people for the
manner in which he was upheld In
trying TO do his duty rs an Amerl-
can citizen. II Is thought that ex
Governor Anthony, Of Kansas, will
be elected permanent chairman.
