MILITIA RDERED OUT.
State Troops Not strong Enough to Cope

State Troops Not strong Enough to Cope
with the Rioters.
BOISE CRY, July 11.-Governor Wiley
has ordered Company A, National
guards, of this place, to report at s a. m.
and hold themselves in readiness to
proceed to the scene of the Ceur
d'Alene troubles. 1t is thought that an
effective state force cannot be sent
there. United States Mars hal Pinkham
has laid the matter before Attorney
General Miller at Washington.
The governor has made arrangements
to send all the available militia to Ceur
d'Alene. The present plan is to start
tomorrow morning. 1t is thought six
companies will march from the different
points within reach OF rail transporta
tion, mastering altogether from 100 to
200 men.
The companies of state troops which
the governor has ordered to hold them
selves ready to march are mere skele-
tons and cannot muster sufficient
force to cope with any determined mob.
Late this evening the governor decided
to call on the president for assistance,
and has sent dispatch to that effect.
He will start the militia by special train
tomorrow morning, as soon as the Union
Pacific can get cars here for their trans
pOrtation,

The advisory committee of the strikers
has received word that alleged agents of
theirs are visiting the large cities
OF the country soliciting subscriptions.
and in some instances have secured \
large sum of money. The advisory
committee authorizes the statement
that all such are impostors.
At late hour tonight perfect order
prevails at Homestead. The bands were
rehearsiDg in preparation of the arrival
OF the militia tomorrow.
The strikers are most interested in the
report that an attempt will be made to
introduce non-union men under the pro-
lection of the militia. They say if this.
done the workmen in all the other Car
negie mills will strike at once, despite
the fact that they have signed the scale
for the ensuing year.
Late tonight the troops from the west
ern part of the state are being rendex-
voused at or near Blairsville, and it is
expected they will be brought into
Homestead tomorrow.
When the militia arrive they viii be
met by four brass bands. all the school

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

Union Miners Conducting Campaign
of determination.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE Posts
special from Boise, idaho, says: Des-
perate rioting is going on in the Cpur
d'Alene minesin Northern Idaho. Many
men have been killed and much val,
liable property destroyed. The officials
OF Shoshone county cannot cope with
the rioters, who are locked-out union
silver miners. The state militia is in
adequate and United States troops must
necessarily be called out. United States
Marshal Pinkham has just wired the
attorney general at Washington, an
nouncing that he cannot organize
posse in Shoshone county, and asking
what he shall do. A dispatch
to the United States marshal
Gays the great concentration at
the Frisco mine has been dynamited
with loss of life. The mob then cap
tured the Gem mining property and
will blow up the mill. The mob at 10
o'clock was advancing upon Wallace,
the largest town in that region. The
men were infiamed with anger and were
threatening death and destruction. The
railroad tracks near the town of Gem
are torn up and all trains are being held
at that place. Later dispatches say the
men are determined to capture every
mine in the district and kill all opposed
to them. The cause of the strike is the
demand of the union miners of the dis
t,ict for SO 30 per day for every man
working underground. The mine
owners hold that unskilled laborers
should be paid only So. When the
miners refused to accept the scale the
mines were closed, the owners declsfing
that excessive freight rates were the
cause. A few months. ago the owners
met in Spokane and decided to resume
operations, paying unskiiled miners So
a day. The union miners said they
would not accept these terms. Then
they were locked out. An effort to in
troduce non-union miners from Wiscon-
sin provoked the union miners to many
lawless acts. In the United States dis
trict court, sitting at Boise, the mine
owners had the union men enjoined
from interfering with their affairs.
Yesterday Judge Beatty declined to dis
solve the injunction, and it is thought
that the news of his decision
fastened the outbreak. 1t is feared the
Homestead affair will be repeated here.
The state militia will be called out, but
is almost useless, owing to the lack of
arms. The latest advices from Wallace
say the owners OF the Gem mine have
surrendered to the mob to save the lives
of the non-union men and preserve their
property. The mob is large, and in
their madness will sweep everything be-
fore them, and Inspector General Curtis,
of Governor Willey's staff, appeals for
either state or federal aid.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-07-12

force of 260 men and about 100 can be
armed with Winchesters. There is
only one way to reach the mine, and
that is directly up a gulch and the road
is steep. Ii an attempt ie made there
against the men in the mine, there must
be serious bloodshed.
TROOPS CALLED FOR.
The county commissioners, district
attorney and sheriff this afternoon tele-
graphed Governor Wiley for troops.
The governor wired back that the sheriff
must first exhaust the civil power. The
sheriff immediately commenced the
work of subpmnaing citizens to act as a
committee of citizens, and they are to
report at Wardner at 10 O'Clock tonight.
Instead Of 750 pounds Of giant powder
being used in blowing up the Frisco
mill, there we're only $50 pounds. The
attempt to run a car down did not
work, and the miners got upon the
hume, shut off the water and sent the
powder in packages down the water pipe
into the mill. A fuse was put in the
last package sent down, and in an in.
slant terrible explosion occurred,
which shook the cafion for miles. The
nOn-union men then surrendered.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-The Pennsyl-

this city, tonight celebrated the birthday
Of Abraham Lincoln by dinner, at which
the principal guests were Attorney-G General

Gallinger of New Hampshire. G. Stuart

General Miller spoke to the toast, "The
Present Administration" OF the Chief
Executive, Mr.. Miller said, In part:
He needs no spokesman either In or

think, learned that Benjamin Harrison can

then reviewed the leading achievements of
various governmental departments under

and pending treaties, eXtradlti0n, cheap

The EX-G0YernOf'S Policy SGOrned BY
Brooklyn Democrats.

BROOKLYN. Feb. 12-The anti Hill meet
ing held at the Criterion Theater tonight
was largely attended. Augustus Healy
opened the meeting, and his scathing rebuke
OF Hill and his followers was cheered at
every point, and there were repeated cheers
for Grover Cleveland. Edward NJ. Shep-
pard, Chairman Of the meeting, spoke in
severe condemnation Of the act of the Fl ill
men in calling such an early convention.
He was followed by John Dewitt Warner.
whose speech was the principal one of the
evening Warner first dealt with the defeat
of Mills for the Speakershlp. He said
Mills was beaten by a com bination of those
opposed to the management under which
the Democratic party had succeeded, and Of
which combination the New York State
Democratic organization directed by Gov
ernor Hill was the principal factor
Whatever may have been the motives of
others, Warner stated that in his opinion
Hills plan, as defined by his Elmira speech,
was to call a halt in tariff reform and bring
free coinage to the front. The people did
right to protest against a mldWint ter con-
Vention. 1t was only the last and crOwning
crime of long series that the present DEM
Ocratc State organization had committed
and he took it that the meeting meant that
the people were not going merely to repu-
date the convention now called, but to give
notice that they would visit with political
death any man or organization that dares
thus to forge the names of the New York
Democracy.
Warner was loudly applauded Resolu-
tions were then adopted in line with those
at the New York meeting last night, and
continuing the committee of twenty-five

them to enlarge their number to one hun

AX-GROWING.
Report Of The Census Bureau on the Value
Of This Industry.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Superin-
tendent Of the Census has sent to press
bulletin on fax productions. 1t shows that
the total area of land devoted to the culti-
vation of fax in the United States in 1889
was 1,318.69S acres; production Of tlaxseed.
10, $50, 410 bushels; production of fiber. 241,-
399 pounds; amount Of faX-straw sold or so
utilized as to have determined value, 207,-
757 tons, and the total value of all fax prod
ucts, $40. 436, ,22S. Although flaxseed is re-
ported from thirty-one States, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska pro-
duced S0.06 per cent OF the total amount. or
1,045, 613 bushels in excess Of the edtire pro-
ductiOn Of the United States as given by the
census of 1890.
Flax is now cultivated almost exclusively
for. seed, and in the old fber-produciug
States its cultivation is almost entirely
abandoned. South Dakota had the largest
acreage in 1889. and Minnesota the largest
production of seed OF the States contain
ing 1000 acres or upward in fax, Wisconsin
had the highest average yield of flax seed
per acre. IL. AZ bushels, and the highest aver
age value per acre Of all flax products,
S13 80, throughout the greater portion Of
the principal lax-seed producing regions.
Flax straw is of little value and much of
the so-called fiber is only an inferior quality
Of tow, used chiefly for uphOstering pur-
poses. There are Indications, however, of
the revival in the United States of the linen
industry that will afford a market for fine
fax fiber of domestic production and revive
a branch of agriculture that for many years
has been almost extinct.
