Homestead was placed under martial law in
the morning after there had been several az
rests of strangers: the prisoners being taken
to the strikers headquarters.
Later in the day the program in regard to
the declaration of martial Law was changed.
Upon the request of a committee representing
practically ell the correspondents in Home
stead who were unwilling that martial law
should follow the assault upon one of their
number, it is understood that General Snow

Better Outlook In Idaho,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-Telegrams
received by Major General Schofield show
the labor troubles in the Ceur d'Alene min
ing district are at an end for the present.
The rioters have dispersed and the state au-
thorities, aided by federal troops, are in full
possession of the field.
General Schofield SAID that the people who
are complaining because the soldiers have
not arrested the rioters had an improper
conception of the position of the troops in
the matter. He explained that they were Or
dered there merely to support the civil au.
thoritles in the restoration of order, and were
acting altogether under the orders of tho
state. They had no independent functions
whatever, and had absolutely nothing to do
with any disorders that may have occurred
before their arrival. 1t was the duty OF the
civil authorities to enforce the law, and all
the troops could do was to protect them in so
doing.

working under ground. The mine owners
offered s., which was refused. The lockout
then began April by the Mine-owners' asso-
citation, and :, 600 union miners were thrown
out of work. Since then the mine owners
have been making a struggle to run the mines
With non-union men and guards. Tension
has been great for months. The examples at
Homestead and the court decision making q
perpetual Injunction against the miners
union brought matters to a head. A rumor
is current that twenty non-union miners were
killed in the Frisco battle when the struc-
ture was blown up by dynamite.
Both the Gem ana Frisco mines were
guarded from behind barracks by men armed
with Winchesters, and as the canyon Is mar
row where the mines are located, the men
behind the barracks could sweep two railroad
tracks and the country with bullets. The
Gem mine is barricaded. A miner from
Gem started for Burke. When opposite the
several hundred yards to Gem and soon the
miners in the town gathered with arms.
They marched in a body toward the Frisco
mill, located directly in front of the niue.
When scarcely within rife range from the
Frisco mill volley greeted the miners, ami
lead whistled all around them. They scat
tered and regular battle ensued. The
miners went around the hills and up the can
yon above the mines loaded car with $50
pounds of giant powder and sent the car
down the track toward the Frisco mine.
Directly in front of the mill the car explo-
sion occurred, shatterlng the mill to splint-
ers. The non-unlon men then showed q
white flag and surrendered.
BOISE CITY, IDAHo.-Governor Wiley has
ordered four companies of militia of this city
to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to
the scene of the mining trouble. The United
States marshal has laid the matter before the
attorney general at Washington, the outbreak
having been ID definace of an Injunction of

PADUcAH, KY., July 1S.-There was more
shooting between the whites and blacks. At
O'Clock a number of men in the northwest
part of the city saw a squad of $50 negroes
beyond Oak Grove cemetery and several
shots were exchanged.
The death of Mllitiaman Elmer Edwards
intensified the bitter feeling until It Is with
difficulty that the more reckless people are
restrained from mobbing the negroes on the
streets.
On the other hand the negroes complain
that the killing of Henry Perevine was not
justifable, and must be avenged.
Perevine was ordered to throw up his hands,
but instead he started to run, when hs was
shot dead by the guard.
A deplorabls state of affairs EXISTS, and it
is feared that much bloodshed will occur be-
fore the end 10 reached.
The woods surrounding the city are filed
with negroes, and large body of men viii

wEATHER-CROP BULLETIN

OF the Kan , Weather Service, Issued in
Cooperation With the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture, for the Week Ending
July IL, 1892.
The rainfall over the state as q whole is
quite deficient this week. Through the Gen.
trail counties, composing the great harvest
field, this week, there has been absolutely no
ram except in one or two localities; in the
western and southwestern counties, where
the need of rain hau begun to be felt, fair
rains have fallen; in the extreme eastern
counties, especially the central eastern, where
rain was much needed, much rain has fallen.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has ranged decidedly be-
low the normal, there being deficiency of
from degrees to 10 degrees daily. An aver
age amount of sunshine has prevailed except
in the extreme southeastern and the extreme
western counties, where it has been deficient,
and in the belt of counties from Gray and
Meade, northeastward to Washington, Mar
shall and Nemaha, in which belt an excess
has prevailed.
Better harvest weather could not have been
produced if manufactured to order" The
absence of rain allowed the work to proceed
uninterrup.edly. while the cool weather. in
addition TO rendering the work more agreea-
BILE, has rpened the gram much slower than
under ordinary conditions, which has, IN a
measure compensated for the shortage in
harvest hands. Harvest is in progress in
every county in the state, is nearly concluded
in the southern counties, began this week in
the northern. But little grain, however, is
being threshed, farmers preferring to stack
it on account of the present low prices. The
oats harvest Is in progress In the south and
has commenced IN the central counties. Corn
has made a fine growth, and is just begin
ming to tassel In the central counties. Rain
is now needed for the grass, corn and gar
dens, and is badly needed for potatoes.

den said that he than ked him for the welcome.
but did not need cooperation.
Coon said: The citizens want to know

'Then. sir, submit to the gentleman behind
you"
''O'Donnell wheeled around and saw the
sheriff standing in the group. 81 do submit
to him. he said: I'VE have never questioned
the sheriff's authority"
The general smiled rather sarcastlcally and
said, Il am glad to hear it, l have nothing
to say to you further than that the sheriff
must be obeyed."
But we have obeyed the sheriff. O'Don-
Fell said. Haven't we. Mr.. NcCleary!
''No. you have not, said the sheriff: ~ GU
refused to let my deputies enter the works"
There was some further talk of this sort
Finally O'Donnell said: 'Well, l believe We
have nothing further to say"
The general bowed in silence and the com
mittee departed for headquarters. There
stormy discussion followed.
The representatives OF the company, led BY
Otis Childs, took possession of the works
about 10 o'clock, but 80 quietly their presence
was not suspected until afternoon.
The feeling of the strikers is very bitter
against General Snowden. He was denounced
in unmeasured terms when the result of his
interview with the committee become known.

Sheriff McCleary has sworn in number Of
special deputies and bench warrants will be
issued for leaders of the strike. 1t is said
that such step will have a greater effect at
Homestead than even the troops. The fact
that those arrested will be put in jail and can
not be released under bail, will take many of
the leaders away and their counsel will be

tional guards are camped at Cataldo await
ing reinforcements. Shoshone county is de-
clared to be in rebellion by proclamation OF

In my opinion every man should now be
arrested and tried who participated in the
deeds of bloodshed or the destruction of

paid?"
''Mr. Frick: Upon the basis of contract

to were to continue for three months, deter
mined upon the average selling of steel bill

ed q scale, which, in almost every instance,
called for an advance. Mr.. Frick stated that
the proposed reductions were based on the
decline in prices during the past three years.
Tank steel plates were reduced q per cent.
channels 80 per cent, and steel billets 10 per
cent. The reduction in wages was about Is
per cent.
Mr.. Frick attributed the continued decline
