WASHINGTON CITY. July 4-Telegrams
received by Major-General Schotield this
afternoon show that the labor troubles in
the C9ur d'Alene mining district are at
an end for the present. The rioters have
dispersed and the civil authorities, aided
by the federal troops, are in full posses
sion of the field. General Scho.ield said
tonight that the people who are complain
ing because the soldiers have not arrested
the rioters have very improper concep-
ton OF the position of the troops in the
matter. He explained that they were or
dered there merely TO support the civil au-
thorities in the restoration of order and
were acting altogether under the orders of
the governor of the state. They had no
independent functions whatever, and had
absolutely nothing to do with any disor-
der that may have occurred before arrival
The duty of the civil authorities was to
enforce the law, and all the troops could
do was to protect them in so doing. The
complaint was made by the mine owners
that the federal troops were slow in arriv-
ing.
BOISE, Idaho, July 14.-The tension of
public feeling has relaxed somewhat, as it
seems to be settled that the troops are in
absolute control. Judge Beatty, of the
United States district court, has returned
from Haley. To a representative of the
Associated Press he stated that he had re-
turned simply to be within reach; still,
he had not determined what he would do
when officially notified of violation of the
injunctions issued out of his court against
the union miners. The only communica-
tions that have passed between the gov
ernor and those at the scene today are as
follows:
BOISE CITY, July IA. F. Curtis, Catddo: In
addition to the instructions wired last night, I
now transmit the following: If any person is
apprehended in the act of blowing up railroad
bridges or property, or mills or houses other
property with dynamite or placing g it in posi-
tion to do so, shoot him on the spot. Promul-
gate this order to the troops.
N. B. WILEY. Governor.
WARDNER, Idaho, July Ito Governor N. B.
Wiley: Your proclamation is being printed and
circulated through this county. We have troops
sufficient and confidence is being restored.
J. F. CURTIS, General Commanding.
WARDNER July H-To Governor " b Wiley:
The troops control the situation. J. +. CURTIS.
SAN Francisco. July III. J. Ham,
mond, ex-president of the Bunker Hill &;
Sullivan Mining Company, who is now in
this city, said today that he had received
kilograms stating that everything was
quiet today in the Coeur d'Alene district.
Hammond said the directors of the COM
pany had not yet decided what course to
take regarding the future working of the
mines. The principal loss to the company
so far had been that of time. The COM
pany had gone to great expense in erect
ing mill and making other improve
ments, and the shutdown was much to
their disadvantage. G. r. Smith,
who was sent to this city by
the executive committee of the Wal
lace Miners Union to prevent the impor-
tation into that section of mont union men.
| said that while the origin of the present
trouble could be indirectly traced to de-
mand for an increase of wages, which was
unsuccessful last year. the direct cause of
the trouble was a revolt by the men
against hospital tax of 81 per month
levied by the companies, and which the
miners claimed was not productive of as
sistance to them at time when needed.
The miners built hospital at Wallace,
and adopted rule that the 81 per month
instead of being paid to the companies
should be paid to the hospital. The
Bunker Hill & Sullivan Company refused
to recognize the justice of this rule, and
the strike resulted in favor of the miners.
Smith claims the reduction of wages then
followed.
WALLACE, July 1.-THE colored troops
from Missoula, who reached Mullan on
Tuesday and were ordered back, are ex-
pected to arrive here tomorrow. About 800
troops are now in Cceur d'Alene, 300 of
whom are in Wallace.
THE MASSACRE STORY CONFIRMED.
