ty of 8 Votes
LONDON, July l5.-The total returns
at l;15 show the election of 252 Con-
servatives, ~ Liberal Unionists, 240
Liberals, 81 anti-Parnellites, Z Parnell-
ties and Laborites. This gives
the government E04 and the
opposition, 304. At 2:30 P. NJ. the total
returns show the election of 25S Con-
servatives, ~ Liberal L nionists, 224
Liberals, 50 Parnellites, Parnell
ties and Laboriteg. This gives 800
votes to the government and 500 to the
opposition.
Up to $3.50 this evening the returns
received show the election of 236 Lib
erals, 90 anti ParnelliteE, Parnellites,
3 Laborlsts, 20S Conservatives and y
Liberal Unionists. The government
now has 500 members and the opposi-
ton 316.
After most bitter fight, Sir Charles
Dixie has again been given an oppor-
tunity to re-enter public life.
The fight against him was not
waged so much on political grounds,
for the Forest of Dean division,
in which he stood, has always given
good majorities; but because of his con-
nection with the famous Crawford di-
vorce case. The church people arrayed
themselves against him and many bitter
personalities were INDUCED in. One
feature of the contest was the calling of
q meeting for the purpose of attacking
Sir Charles, but the principal speaker
expected, Mr.. Stead, formerly editor
of the Pail Mall Gazette, did not APP
pear, and the meeting was taken
possession of by Sir Charles friends,
who denounced the unchristianlike at
tltude of the Social Purity Association,
which red in the fight against the Lib
eral candidate. The figures received
from the district show that Sir Charles
majority, 2, AIS, is larger than those Of the
two preceding elections and is only 304
behind that ofthe election of 1885, when
heavy Liberal majority was given.
The result IS q surprise to the Conser-
natives, who thought that with the aid
of the non-conformistst they would per-
haps be able to win the district.
Among the more prominent men
who the figures to-day show have been
been elected, is Michael Davitt, the
anti-ParneIlite leader, who has been re-
turned from the North Division of
Meath. His majority was 403.
The Northwestern Division of Norfolk
has returned Joseph Arch, the we'll
known leader of the agricultural labor
ers movement, who in 1856 was defeat
ed in this district by Lord
Harry Bentinck, Conservative.
That Mr.. Arch is a Liberal need
hardly be said, as it was that
party which gave such enlarged suffrage
to the agricultural laborers. His father
was q laborer, and he himself had from
an early age to work in the fields for a
living

THE SITUATION is GRAVE.
Martial Law Prevails in the Turbu1e mt
Mining Districts.

BOISE, Id, July 13.-Gov. Wiley has
issued proclamation placing Shoshone
County under martial law. Word has
been received that three companies of
federal troops from Missoula have ar
rived at Mullan. The other troops have
not been heard from. AdJt. Gen. Cur
tbs, who is in command for the state,
and who went to Cmur d'Alene in ad-
vance of the outbreak, has not been
heard from to-day, and it is feared he
has fallen into the hands of the strik-
ers.
A dispatch to the governor from
Judge Hepburn, at Spokane, says the
union men drove 1872 non-union miners
out yesterday, firing on them and kill
ing two. Supt. Dickinson, Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, telegraphed
the governor from Tacoma this after
noon that their tracks and bridges have
been destroyed in the vicinity of Null
Ian and Wallace and that the wires
have been cut. Another message to
the governor says that several nom
union men have been blown up and
that the union men propose to fight the
troops TO the death.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 13.-The Union
Pacific officials have Just received ad-
vices from Cpur d'Alene that the
Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, to-
gether with several hundred feet of
track west of Mullan, was blown up by
the strikers this morning. The COM
pany is preparing to take all non-unlon
men out of the mines this afternoon
at Tekea. The union men assert that
the moment the troops appear on
the scene they will blow up the
and Gem mines. The burning of the
bridge near Mullan will hold the troops
there, unless they march to Wallace
and Wardner, a distance of about ten
miles. 1t is now reported that union
men have taken Van B. Delashnecht, of
Portland, William Sweeney and other
mine owners, and will hold them as
hostages until the trouble is settled.
The wires are in bad shape and it is al
most impossible to get any information
from Wallace. The wires toward the
north have been cut.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, July 1.-THE fol-
lowing message was sent by Gov. Wiley
to President Harrison last night:
This morning riot and bloodshed by the
striking miners of Ceur d;Aiene District
commenced. The mill was blown up by
dynamite and many men were killed and
lHJuIeu' 1HSpcCloI-UeHtIa1 buIlIS, L. N
c., informs me that 400 or 500 armed men
constitute the mob. The legislature is not
in session and cannot be promptly con-
vened. The civil authorities Of the county
and state are wholly inadequate to maintain
peace. The Immediately available
military force of the Idaho National
Guard numbers only 1876 men, which
is in my opinion far too few
to successfully cope wlth'the mob, though
l will order it at once. into the field. In
this emergency l deem it necessary to call
for assistance of the federal troops.
therefore request that a sufficient force be
detailed from Fort Sherman, or elsewhere,
to act in concert with the state authorities
in maintaining public order.

Powder1T Dsnounces the Pinkerton In
vasion in Letter to the President.
SCRANTON, Pa, July 15.-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly has addressed
letter to President Harrison and an
other to Gov. Pattison, calling attention
to the fact that the laws of the United
States and Pennsylvania have been
violated by the invasion Of the Pinker-
tons on July 6. In his letter to the
President, Mr.. Powderiy points out
that an armed body under the United
States flag, and not acting under the .le-
gal authority of the state, or any county
or municipality, had come up the Monon-
gahela River and opened fire on the
citizens of Homestead, killing a number
of persons. Mr.. Powderly says that
whoever usurp the functions of the
commander-in-chief Of the army of the
United States in ordering these men to
invade Pennsylvania is guilty of treason
and should be punished accordingly,
and ne therefore asks for an investiga-
ton. He fixes the responsibility on
Supt. Frick and Robert Pinkerton.

LAST CHANCE FOB Strikers,
Final Invitation for Them to Return to
the homestead Mill.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 16.-The follow
ing notice was to-day posted by the Car
negie Steel Company at the Homestead
mill in the vicinity Of the works, and
was sent ali over the country:
NOTICE.
Individual applications for employment
at the Homestead Steel Works will be re-
celved by the general superintendent,
either by lettertor IN person, until p. NJ,
Thursday, July Il. 1892. 1t is our desire
to retain in our service ali OF our en-
plOyeS whose past record is satisfactory,
and who did not take part in the
attempts which have been made to IN
terfere with our right to manage our
business. Such of our old employees as do
not apply by the time above named viii be
considered as having no desire to re-enter
our employment and the positions which
they held will be given to other men, and
those first applying will have the choice
OF untitled positions for which they are
suitable. This notice will be the last given
to the employees Of the works, and, on nom
compliance with this, the places will be
filled with nOn-uniOn men.
That there are non-union men in the
Homestead mill and more coming
to-day is evident from what Mr. Love
JOY. secretary of the company, to-day
said. When asked how many nom
union men were IN the mill he said:
Wei, now, really cannot discuss the
details of this question. and am not at
liberty to tell you how many men there
are in the mills"
"Will you say how many men will 60
up to-day or before you get ready to
start the mill,??''
"No, | cannot. There are some things
the public has no right to know, and
this is one Of them. There is not
the least doubt, however, that we
will have enough men to work the
mill in a satisfactory manner. The
Homestead mill will be started UP
July %, and the notice posted
to-day will be the last. The men at
Beaver Fails and our Union mills will be
given until Monday, July is, to return
to work under a new agreement. The
Union Mills will be started Monday,
the 18th, and we will have no trouble in
getting competent men to fill the places,
IN spite of what the men say about no
one but old hands being able to success
fully run the works"

THE GLACIER TUMBLED.
Disaster at Mont Blanc by Which Many |
Lives Were Lost.

Disaster at Mont Blanc by Which Many
Lives Were Lost.
PARIS, July IA terrible accident
has occurred at st. Gervais les Baines,
in Savoy. A heavy landslide occurred
in the mountains that almost overhung
the village, and without q moment
warning mum Der of houses We re buried
beneath the immense mass of rock and
earth, and about $50 persons were
killed.
st. Gervais is a watering place with
sulphurous springs and is a favOrlte
summer resort. 1t lies in the wooded
ravine Of Montioie, half mile from the
Chamouni road, on the Bon Nant, Nant
being the name applied to all mountain
streams in Savoy. The baths of st. Ger
vais were in five separate buildings,
joined by stone wall, erected in a mar
row gorge. They were situated about
2,066 feet above the sea.
A glacier became detached from Mont
Blanc and fell into the mountain tor
rent, carrying away the hamlet Of Blon-
nay, and filling the torrent with masses
of ice. The masses of ice and wreckage
of the village formed dam which eff
fectually restrained the waters for some
time. Finally the dam broke and the
waters burst like q cataract into the
stream of Bon Nant, which passes
through st. Gervais. The inmates Of
the lighthouses were awakened about
2:15 A. NJ. by the sound of rushing
waters and loud. crashing noise. Be-
fore they were able to leave the build
ings, the torrent. filed with the debris
of the village and large masses
of ice, crashed against the lighthouses.
Three of the buildings were entirely
destroyed, and another partially, while
the fifth building sustained no damage,
being situated upon higher elevation
than the others. The torrent con-
tinued into the valley, destroying ev-
ervthing in it's course. The village of
LIE Favet, lying in the valley, was al
most entirely demolished. The wreck
age Of houses was swept on for miles
into the Arite. Down the latter stream
corpses and wreCkage have been seen
floating all day long.
The full mortality is not yet known.
1t is believed that seventy-fve persons
persisted at the baths alone, and at
least fifty of the inhabitants Of LIE Fayet
were drowned.
Three wings of the hotel were en-
tirely destroyed, and persons in the
other were rescued with difficulty,
some of them being let down by ropes
from windows, all exits being closed by
debris and the building badly wrecked.
Most of the people were from Geneva.
There it is reported the number Of lives
lost is 900

trophe. A cyclone struck the water
about 1890 and capsized the frankie

party from Pekin.
There were about forty persons on

A Race War Breaks Out in Kentucky
Exchange of Shots.

Exchange of Shots.
PADUCAH, Ky, July 12.-An encoun-
ter has taken place between an armed
mob of negroes and the sheriff and
posse composed of fifty or seventyfve
men armed with shot-guns and re-
yolverB, procured from the vari-
Gus hardware stores. The underlying
cause of the uprising is the hanging Of
Charles Hill, the negro who made an
assault upon Lydia Starr some weeks
ago. The immediate cause of the out
break is the arrest Of colored man
named Thomas Burgess. About y
o'clock a band Of about seventy-fye
negroes suddenly appeared and
at the jail. At the first
fire. Elmer Edwards, young man
about 20 years of age, fell, shot through
the abdomen. Internal hemorrhage
set in, and he is now dying. He was
member Of the militia company, har-
nessmaker by trade. The fire was re-
turned by the militia, and the armed
citizens and the negroes beat precipi-
tate retreat. The militia also retreated
in disorder back Of the courthouse.

imprisonment and a fine Of $500 to- day.
The termination of the case, which had
assumed sensational aspects from the
allegation that the assault had been in
stigated by wealthy widow, is the re-
suit of a conference between States
Attorney Longenecker and counsel rep
resenting Trumbly and Fish. Mr..
Fish's counsel assert that the11 is no
evidence to show that any woman was

SP0ONER DECLINES IT.
He Refuses to Become Republican Ma
tiona1 Chairman.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-There is
revival of gossip connecting the name
Of ex-senator Spooner with the chair
manship of the National Republican
Committee. The only basis for this
talk is that there was a
small gathering of prominent
Republicans at the White House last
night, and that Senator Sawyer and Sec
rotary Rusk were present. With this
much to start with it is gravely an
nounced that Spooner will be
urged to accept the chairman
ship. and that his known friendship
for Harrison will provide against any
objections he might have under other
circumstances. 1t can be stated upon
very best authority, that Spooner
will not accept and positively declines
to allow his name to be further
considered in this connection. He
teiegraphs in most positive terms that
he cannot accept, and that his decision

MEN TO START THE MILL.

Non-Union Force in the Home ste adj
works-Troops VIII Preserve Order.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1870 strongly
was the runner current that large
train load of non-union men was to be
brought in last night that several Of the
correspondents stayed up all night, to
watch their entry, which was not
made. There are quite a number
of men in the mills, however, and they
can be seen plainly from the houses
that overlook the mill property, moving
about inside the works. Provisions
enough to subsist couple of hundred
men have been taken within the Car
negie fence, and cots and other evidences
of proposed occupancy are stacked
near the main gate. The whole Of the
Sixteenth Regiment is on patrol duty
to-day, and the men are massed about
the railroad gate. Lines of troops cover
the tracks and extend all the way
from the river front to Eighth Avenue,
distance of about half a mile. Crowds
of the striking men are gathered some
distance away from the troops, and ab-
soluteIy no talking between the groups
is permitted. The only men who pass
back and forth unouestioned are the
correspondents.
This was the first payday the men
have missed, and it is curious to note its
effects upon the day laborers.
Many instinctively started early
toward the office to get in line, for it is
no easy matter to pay off 200 men and
several hundred boys, and those who
come first are first served. The men
remembered and turned back.
The story that $50 families are starv-
ing here has no foundation. The fact
is that as yet everyone has plenty in
Homestead. A number of grocery and
dry goods stores were visited last even
ing, and at all of them 1t was stated
that the wives and children who shop
for the locked-out men are paying cash
and have not begun to use credit.

ANOTHER CARNEGIE STRIKE.
Employees of Two Pittsburg Mills StoI
Work.


PlTTsBURG, Pa, July 1.-THE en-
ployes in the upper and lower Union
Mills of Carnegie & Co., in this city,
quit work at noon to-day, and the gas
was turned off in the furnaces. By
o'clock this afternoon the men in
all departments will be out and the
mills will be shut down. The men
struck because the company refused to
confer again with the Homestead men,.
It is the most remarkable iron strike
on record, the firm having signed
the Amalgamated scale for the ensuing
year. The emplo yes Of the Keystone
Bridge Company are non-unlon and will
not strike unless forced to. Nothing has
been heard from the Beaver Falls
plant, but the men prob ably struck
there also, as threatened.
