THERE is no necessity of a third
party in Nevada. Nothing could
be gained by it, We would be in
favor. however of a third presiden-
tial ticket, in case neither Demo-
Gratis nor Republicans put up a
silver man as standard bearer. We
are also in favor of electing dele
gates to both National Conventions
who will 60 there and vote solidly
for silver man in their respective
parties, no matter whether the men
they vote for have any show to be
nominated or not. Let them un-
derstand in the East that if they
don't help us they can expect no
assistance from us, politically OF
otherwise.

THE majority Of CALIFORNIA; Con-
gressmen have shown themselves
to be opposed to the placing Of sill
yer on an equality with gold, 1t
is a we'll known fact that the peo-
pie of that State know, or seem to
care, very little about the silver
question. The newspapers, even,
pay very little attention to the sub
ject, outside of those in San Fran
cisco, and many of them are not
very pronounced in favor of the
white metal. Now, what Nevada
should do with California, it to
transfer her trade to Salt Lake or
Denver, if freight rates are so that
it can possibly be done. If every
merchant and newspaper in the
State would do this it would make
California open her eyes in a short
time and make her think she had
better reciprocate by standing in
with us occasionally.

NEVADA

IT is puzzling to know whore The
20 or so majority for free coinage
went to when the vote was taken
in the House on the measure. 1t
only was saved from being tabled
by the vote OF Speaker Crisp, and
now he is being blamed by many
for the action he is taking on the
question. Why not blame those
who voted against the measure, and
come out squarely and state that
they have placed party interest be-
fore the interests of the country in
that they were fearful that if the
bill passed it would be signed by
Harrison, thereby giving him the
friendship of the silver element in
the coming presidential fight. This
was their reason, or else they were
bought by the gold of the money
lenders, which has been wrung from
the wage-earner Of the country. In
either case they have proved them
selves traitors to their country.

The Carson and Reno papers of
recent issues have been giving con
siderable space to the scheme of a
Californian and Theodore Winters
for establishing a second Monte

track is to be built, large and ele-
CANT buildings erected where all
kinds of gambling will be carried
on, an electric road constructed to
Lake Tahoe for tourists, and all
the inducements of velvet vice Of
fered that can be thought Of to
make visitors think they are at
Monte Carlo proper. Shades of
our illustrious forefathers, where
are the anti-lottery people and the
great moralists of the State, that
they have not before now organized
and protested against the origina-
tors of this scheme from spending
their money in Nevada. Are they
in hopes the Louisiana people will
help them fight this enterprise?

Mr.. COCHRAN, the leader of the

made as hard a talk as he could
against placing silver on an equal

from Tammany, but he has once or
twice protested to be in favor of
free coinage Of silver. Now if Hill
has to choose between the two how
much of silver man will he be?

HARRIsBURG, Pa, July 11.-Contrary
to expectations, Governor Pattison has
ordered General Snowden, commander
of the Pennsylvania state militia, to pro-
coed at one to Homestead to support
Sheriff McCleary in maintaining peace
at the Carnegie mills. The governors
order was as follows:
To General r. s. Snowden:
Put the division under arms and move
at once with all munitions to the support
of the sheriff of Allegheny county, at
Homestead. Maintain the peace and pro-
tect all persons in their rights under the
constitution and laws of the state
ROBERT E. PATTISON.
The calling out of troops at this time
by the governor was caused by the fol-
lowing telegram received from Sheriff
McCleary:
PITTsBURG. July 10.
To Governor Pattison:
The situation at Homestead has not inn
proved. While all is quiet there the
strikers are in control and openly express
to me and to the public their determine
tion that the works shall not be operated
unless by themselves. After making all
efforts in my power l have failed to Sc
cure posse respectable enough in num-
beers to accomplish anything, and am
satisfied that no posse raised by the civil
authorities can do anything to change the
condition of affairs and thst any attempt
by an inadequate force to restore the
rights of law will only result in further
armed resistance and consequent loss oS
life. Only large military force will en-
able me to control matters. / believe ii
such force is sent the disorderly element
would be overawed and order would be
restored I therefore call upon you to
furnish me such assistance
WILLIAM H. MCCLEARY, Sheriff.
On receipt of the governors order
General Snowden notified the CON-
manders Of the different brigades to
move their men at the earliest possible
moment. All the ammunition has been
moved from the state arsenal and sent
to the scene of action. Special trains
have been ordered to transport troops
from this vicinity and all the extra pas
senger engineers and firemen have been
ordered to report for duty and be ready
to take out trains at moments notice.
Much excitement prevails at the order
ing out of the entire national guard of
Pennsylvania. The first special left at
o'clock a. m.
The National Guard of Pennsylvania

Nearly 200 People Killed by Landslide

PARIS, July IA terrible accident
has occurred at st. Gervais les Baines,
in Savoy, resulting in the death of about
200 persons. A heavy landslide occurred
in the mountains that almost overhung
the village, and without a moments
warning large number of houses were
buried beneath the immense mass of
rock and earth.
Further dispatches from st. Gervais
les Baines say the disaster occurred at 8
o'clock in the morning, when nearly all
the inhabitants and residents were
asleep. 1t he's transpired that the Sion
nassay Glaciers, which extend from the
northwest side of Mount Blanc, became
detached and swept down the side of
the mountain, carrying the baths and
the hamlet of LaFayet into the torrent.
The loss of life was appalling. There
was no possible chance of the people get
ting out Of the way Of the tremendous
mass of earth, rock and ice, and great
number whose lives were not crushed
out beneath the falling debris of their
houses were swept into the river and
drowned Over $50 bodies have been
recovered from the Arve, and these with
the 80 taken from the ruins of houses
brings the death roll up to 1870. 1t is
not believed that this will cover the en-
tire loss of life, as there are undoubtedly
many bodies buried under the masses of
debris that will never be recovered.

WATERY GRAVES.
STEAMER WRECKED BY A CYCLONE
ON LAKE PEORIA.

ANumber of Row Boats Also Lost and
Their Occupants Drowned-The Loss by
the Disaster Will Probably Reach Two
Score
PEORIA, Ills, July l2.--The cruel
waves of the Illinois have borne down
to death score of persons who were out
enjoying themselves. The frankie Fol-
som, Pekin boat, started out during
the evening with forty passengers
aboard. A landing was afterward made
and about twenty others joined the
party, so that the passenger list reached
fully sixty. AS the boat came out of the
landing and started down to the city
she was struck by cyclone and turned
over. She was about midway in the
river and rank rapidly. Owing to the
bowling tempest the cries of the passen-
gers could not be heard The Long
fellow, with seventy-fve passengers
from Kingston. passed her and ran to
the foot of the next street. Word was
conveyed to the police station, and
Mayor Warner at once ordered every
man to the scene of the disaster. The
Rock Island also sent a special train to
the scene, and small boats were sent to the
Folsom, the hull of which could be seen
when the lake was illuminated by the
vivid lightning. 1t is known that there
are a dozen in the cabin of the Inflated
steamer When the boat careened over
her cargo rushed to the sinking side
And Many Were Washed Overheard.
A man who has just been brought off
said he saw several women carried down
and they were cooked to death by steam.
Every time the boat rocked the poor I'M
fortunates clinging to the side would
release their hold and disappear in the
waves. The rescuers saw several bodies
floating away which they could not
reach. So far Mrs Duisdecker and two
girl companions, names unknown, Miss
Cora Fisher, Mrs. Fred Fisher, Miss
Mary Flath, John Aherns, Mary Paeble
and Annie Paeble are the known dead.
Some thrilling stories are told by the
men who have been brought off in the
boats. Sam Sutton missed his wife
when the cyclone struck the boat and
he heard her calling for him as the
cabin filled with water. He dived into
the hold to what seemed certain death
and managed to bring her to the sur
face. For an hour they chung to the
,ail and were both saved. William
Hart also went into the cabin and
brought up the unconscious form of his
wife. 1t is thought she will live. The
greatest fears are entertained concern
ing the fate of over hundred persons
who were out in small boats. 1t is GER
tain that eight lives have been lost in
this manner.
At this hour the river bank is lined
with crazed friends and relatives of those
who have been lost. There are eighteen
dead in the Folsom according to the
count just made. Only about half of
these will be found in the cabin of the
boat, for the others were swept off the
boat. Two bodies have been sighted
floating through the lower bridge, nearly
two miles from the scene. Whether
these are from the Folsom or bodies of
persons from overturned boats cannot
be stated.

MORE LABOR RIOTS.
CGUR D'AlENE MINERS FOLLOW
HOMESTEAD WORKMEN.

Battle Between Union and Non-Union
Men with Fatal Results-A Number on
Both Sides Killed and Injured and a
Mill Destroyed.
WALLACE, Ida., July 1.-THE strug-
gle between the union miners in Occur
d. Alene and the mine owners, which
was patched up about two months ago,
has broken out again in the town of
Gem, and resulted in savage fight be-
tween union and non-union men at the
Frisco and Gem mines, in which six
men were killed, seven wounded, sew
enty non-union men taken prisoners and
the Frisco mill blown up. The fight
lasted several hours. The governor has
ordered out the militia. The names of
only three of the killed have been
learned so far, all being union men.
They are Gus Carlson, Harry Cummings
and George Pettibone. The other men
killed were guards at the mine.
After the mill was blown up the non
union men hung out flag of truce and
hostilities then ceased and the seventy
men surrendered. The men are now
under guard at the miners union head
quarters at Gem. The union men have
resolved to drive every non-union man
out of the district. The women and
children have been removed to places of
safety. Both the Gem and Frisco min
ers We're guarded by men behind barri
cades armed with Winchesters, and as
the canon is narrow where the miners
are located the men behind the barri-
cades could sweep the two railroad
tracks and country road with their bull
lets. The Gem mine barricade is with
in 300 feet of the center of the town of
Gem.
How the Trouble Started.
At a. m. a miner from Gem started
for Burke and when opposite the Frisco
mine was fired upon. He ran back
several hundred yards to Gem, where
the shot had been heard, and soon the
miners in the town gathered with arms.
They marched in body toward the
Frisco mill, located directly in front of
the mine. When scarcely within rife
range a volley from the Frisco mill
greeted the miners and lead whistled
all about them. They scattered and a
regular battle ensued. One miner and
one non-union man were killed and
six wounded during the engage
| ment. The miners in the meantime
went around the hills up the canon above
the mines, loaded car with $50 pounds
| of giant powder and sent the car down
| the track toward the Frisco mine. Di-
rectly in front of the mill an explosion
occurred, shattering themill to splinters,
making it complete wreck and caus-
ing loss of 100000. It is reported
that twenty men were killed by the
explosion. The non-union men then
showed the white flag and surrendered.
They were marched down to the Miners
Union hall and guarded, no indignities
| being offered them after their surrender.
While the fight was going on at Frisco
| the Gem guards suddenly began firing
volley after volley into the town, rid
| ding the buildings. John Ward, citi-
zen. was shot through the arm, and Gus
Carlson, a union miner, was shot and
| fell. At Gem several hundred men were
huddIed in the streets with rifles and re-
yolyers. Al noon the Gem mine forces
surrendered to the union men.
