of digging canal three or SIX feet deeper

If the oppone1tts of ship canals do not

it is because there is neither reason nor

Terrible weather has prevailed, and grave
anxiety as to the fate of the vessel is natural.
But it is far too early yet for despair, and
the fears entertained are indications of the
regularity and safety OF transatlantic travel

probability of the steamers loss.

CARSON, New, July 28.-This after
noon the grand jury of Ormsby county
was called to investigate the charge of
malfeasance in Office made by the Ap-
peal against county officials. One
charge made by the editor of the Appeal
was that parties obtaining contracts
were obliged to pay commission to the
county officials. &a
Sam Davis, editor of the Appeal, WAS
called upon to state the source of his in
formation, but declined, on the ground
that it was the unwritten law of the
profession that confidential commune
cations to editors were held inviolate.
He was given until 1 80 by Judge Ris-
ing to reveal the name of his informant,
and again refused, whereupon he was
ordered to Jail until he should decide to
reveal his authority. The sheriff took
him into custody.

in the Peoples church. 1t was called to

committee. Ex Congressman Mark

In his recent affiiction, and the hope
that he may be called into service again
after having enjoyed hard-earned rest.
The committee resolutions had q long
discussion on the question of local op-
ton, and finally decided not to men
tion it.
The platform reafirms the national
declarations; warmly endorses Presi-
dent Harrison's administration recon-
mends board of arbitration for settling
disputes between labor and capital; the
exclusion OF Objectionable immigrants !.
the preservation of the public domain
for actual settlers; legislation tending

armed men by other than the proper
authorities of the state, as un-American
and tending to promote lawessness and
breach of the peace. .4
Ex-Congressman Knute Nelson was

The Federal Court VIII Deal Hard
With the Men.
WARDNER, Idaho, July 28.-A new
plan OF legal procedure against the i'm
prisoDed union miners commences at
Wallace tomorrow. United States Com
missioner Hoffman, of Ceur d'Alene
city, will open court there and issue
warrants of arrest, as the cases are
brought before him. The report that
the United States courts had decided
the union conspiracy is given color by
this move of the authorities. Judge
Advocate General Parsons was here to-
day arranging to have the prisoners
taken to Wallace for trial. The charge
of conspiracy will be entered against all
union men, and separate charges will be
entered against those charged with COM
plicity in the mission affair. About forty
prisoners could have had their freedom
day or 30 ago, had they not refused to
sign a parole. Of two hundred or more
rifles known to have been in the hands
of the rioters on the 18th instant, not
single one has been found, although
strict search has been made. The gen.
eral belief is that they were taken into
Montana upon the advent of the troops.
This fact, more than any other, causes
the law-abiding citizens to dread the de-
parture of the state troops. Peter
Breen. who was the prime mover in the
trouble, is still at large.

The platform condemns the attempted
assassination OF Frick; denounces the
punishment of soldier Iams by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Streeter, at Homestead, and
emphatically opposes Pinkertonism.
through an oversight on the part of
the resolutions committee. the woman'e
suffrage plank was omitted, greatly to
the disgust Of the female delegates. but
the matter was dropped. Some other
resolutions were adopted, among them
one that the state shall close the sale of
all coal lands, hold the same and oper-
ate them in the interest OF the people.
The following ticket was nominated:

ditor, VIM. Goodykountz; state regents,
