Ahead.
Now that spring has come athletes have
joyfully forsaken the gymnasium and ar
mory tracks for the more healthful and
enjoyable open air sports. The football
has been slowed away and the baseball
brought out. Cross country runners are
scurrying across the fallow and plowed
fields oarsmen and cyclists are welcoming
the fine weather like the flowers of spring
and the disciples of Izaak Walton have
already made sad havoc among the speck-
led trout.
Cross country running is at the moment
the most popular branch of athletics, and

silver Men Beaten.

WASHINGTON, July lathe atten-
dance in the house was large this morn
ing. The antl-silver Democrats were full
of confidence, the Republicans alert. and
the silver men determined but evidently
with little hope Of success. Their pro-
gramme suddenly changed this morning.
They concluded to force the fighting and
make the engagement decisive on the
silver question; SO they resolved to pur-
sue the unusual course of voting against
the previous question on the adoption of
the special rule allowing the bill to be
called up. If defeated, it would be re-
garded as test vote. If they succeeded
in defeating the previous question their
plan would be to offer an amendment to
the rule, permitting an amendment of the
bill to cover the objections made in the
caucuses, and permit closure so as to
insure final vote on the passage of the
bill as amended. The ball was opened
by Catchings, Speaker Crisp's lieutenant,
who requested from the committee on
rules resolution to make the silver bill
the special order of the day. Ex-SDeaker
Reed, as representative of the Republicans,
was on his feet instantly, and at the con.
clusion of the reading of the motion by
the clerk, moved to lay the resolution on
the table. The speaker declined to rec
ognize Reed, ruling CatcbiDgs to have
the floor. Reed insisted that he had the
right to make the motion in advance of
Cstchings. who was in control of the res.
olution, and disclosed the purpose of his
motion. 1t was to kill the resolution and
with it the silver bill. The speaker main
tanned his position that Catchings had
the floor.

struck hy a Cyclone.

PEORIA, ILL.,, July 13-Peoria lake last
evening was the scene of horrible catas
trophe. A cyclone struck the water
about 10 80 and capsized the excursion
steamer frankie Folsom with party Of
about 40 from Pekin on board The
work of bringing the dead ashore is now
in progress. Up to o'clock this morn
ing nine bodies have been recovered from
the wreck and the search continues.
Captain Lasch, of the boat, gives the
story of the accident. He brought a
party of about 40 up from Pekin 20 see
the "Last Days of Pompeii." After the
exhibition they pulled out, and wien in
the middle of the river the storm struck
them in all its fury, with scarcely a aign
of warning. He attempted to head the
steamer toward shure, and as he did so a
terrific gust of wind struck the craft and
keeled it over in 10 feet of water. The
scene that followed beggsrs description.
Men and women were thrown into the
water, but larger part of them managed
to reach the upper guard and cling there
until help reached them. Their cries OF
distress were heard from shore, and in
spite of the heavy Wind number of
skiffs went to their assistance, and grad
uaIiy they were brought to shore. Until
the list of missing comes from Pekin. the
exact number of deaths cannot be told.
The persons drowned were nearly all in
the CABIN when the boat turned oyer.
There was no escape for them and every
one perIahed The survivors all tell the
most shrilling tales Of the disaster, aud
here were many narrow escapes. Men |
ind women were pulled to the boat half
irowned, and it is feared some of them
will die from excitement and exposure.

A Crowd Of Desperadoes.

of Burns, Just over the Mississippi river,
in Anoka county, is ir the midst of ter
rors and the town practically in the hands
of gang of desperadoes, who are burn
ing buildings and threatening the lives
of citizens. George Small, wealthy and
prosperous farmer, has been very active
in his efforts to lodge one of the ruffians
behind the bars. A warrant was sworn
out against one of the gang, but it has
never been served. The whole populace
of Burns was terrified and the gangs
actions were constantly causing annoy.

been laid al their doors several times.
Monday the handsome residence of Small
was set on fire, but after fierce fight BY
the family and neighbors the flames were
extinguished. On Wednesday Small was
in Anoka, and in the evening word was
brought to him that his elegant residence
had again been set on fire by unknown
desperadoes and totally consumed. The
sheriff and citizens will make an endea-
yor to get at the culpnts, and things are
in such condition that no ones life Is

larounds Fer ,seIxnre.

WASHINGTON, July U.-Captain Hooper
commanding the revenue steamer Cor,cin, has
made brief report of the seizure of the
British steamer Coquitlan. He has turned
the vessel over to the marshal at Sitka and
will transmit full report as soon as possible.
He estimates the value of the vessel and cargo
at 100000.
1t appears the Coyuitldn enter ed harbor
of the United States-not a port of entry
without permit from the customs authorities,
transferred and received cargo in violation
of the law, and engaged in towing within the
jurisdiction of the United States. For these
acts she subjected herself and cargo to confs-
cation, and the officers and crew to fine and
imprisonment. 1t also appears the captain
and owners of the Coquitlan were warned by
Collector Milne, of Victoria, before sailing
that they would run great risk for what they
proposed to do; he advised them to make a
transfer on the high sea, but they refused to
be governed by his advice The captain
states the United States authorities have sew
eral grounds for seizure. The sealers of Vic
toria concede that the seizure is blow which
will cut off further sealing fol this year, as
only IL of the largest Canadian vessels had
received supplies before the Coquitlan was
taken in charge by the United States revenue
cutter Cor,on, and the remainder will be COM
pelled to give up their trips and return to

The People satisfied.

New YORK, July 12.-The World this
morning prints dispatch from Hugh
'o'Donnel, leader of the strikers at Home
stead, Pa, in which he says; "The advent
of the troops of the National Guard is re-.
ceived by the people of Homestead 10 the
light OF a vindicatiOn OF our attitude in
the struggle between master and man.
The fact that Governor Pattison chose the
time to call out the troops when Home
stead has never been quIeter, when the
struggle of Wednesday had left no i'm
preston upon the town save IN desolated
homes and houses where physicians and
nurses are caring for our wounded com
panions, shows that ii was not considered
needful to keep Homestead citizens from
breaking the law BY force of arms, but
rather that the state feels called upon to
project us in our rights. We believe
that the militia of this great common
wealth is here to prevent repetition of
last Wednesday's cowardIy attack upon
honest workmen, by hired assassips. We
welcome the troops, and we are corient
to await the outcome of our present
troubles under shield of Pennsylvania
and the glorious Stars and Stripes. as we
awaited 1t before. Our citizens are
thoroughly organized, our police force is
strengthened, and every man of Home
stead Is a self constituted pieserver of or
der and of the rights of person and prop
erty in our town."

Our neighbor, the San, devotes four
columns AMI half in publishing q
letter from Mr.. Paul Mohr, in which
he tries to vindicate his action In OPP
posing the boat-railway. The animus
of the epistle appears to be a personal
attack against Senator Dolph, because
he attempted to have the amendment
incorporated into the River and Har-
Dor bill for the boat-railway on the
Washington side. Mr.. Mohr claims
that this scheme would greatly in
jure Lis contemplated road from
Columbus, Washington, to the mouth
of the Klickirat, and that it could be
constructed on the south bank to
better advantage. A committee of
engineers surveyed the route -aad re-
commended its construction on the
north bank of the river, and the mem
bers of the Oregon delegation had
nothing whatever to do with the route
recommended. AS far as the actions
of Senators Dolph and Mitchell and
Representative Hermann are concerned
they meet with the appreciation of the
citizens of Oregon, if they are CELL
sured by Mr.. Mohr.

There appears to be doubt in re-
gard to President Harrison signing
the river and harbor bill, as it appro-
pirates much larger amount than had
been received from any previous con-
gress. 1t must be recollected in this con-
nection that the Republican party be-
gan on the issue that internal improve
ments in rivers should be carried on by
the general government, and in this it
was diametrically opposed to the Demo-
cracy, which held that each state
should pay for its own public works.
Furthermore, the bill this session is for
the completion Of works which nave
been in progress for long number of
yeare, and which economy dictate
should be finished at the earliest pos
slble date. For these reasons We do
not believe the president will antag-
onize the west and south by vetoing
the measure or pocketing it as Mr..
Cleveland did during his term of Of
fee. The development of the country
demands open highways, and money
spent for such an object cannot be con-
sidered extravaganza. Mr.. Harrison
is from western state, and under
stands the necessities of trade and the

Democratic papers are attempting
to make political capital out of the
disturbances at Homestead, Pa, and
say il free-trade had been in opera
tion IN the United States these would
not have occurred. Wages are gov
erned by the same law aa the price of
wheat, that of supply and demand,
and it would have made no difference
if the Mills or Morrison bill had been
in operation. The only fact that can
be stated without successful contradic-
ticI is that the protection policy OF
the Republican party has given exis-
tence to this and other factories in the
United States. Without the tariff on
imports every pound of manufactured
iron to-day would be brought from
Great Britain, and the wealth which
these have brought to the country
would have gone elsewhere. There
always have been war between capital
and labor, and always will be, while
the employer, from selfish notions,
pays as little. as possible, and
wage-earners, from the; same in
centiye, attempt to procure the
highest price for their work. These
conditions will continue to exist until
that time arrives which is spoken of
in Holy Writ, when the lion shall lie
down with the lamb and little child
lead them, and from present indica-
tions we are inclined to the belief that
the millennium is very far distant.

An Ominous silence.

WARDNER, Idaho, July 12-Wardner
has been taken by the miners union.
The strikers have now possession of the
mills of all the mining companies here,
and have issued an ultimatum that unless
the owners discharge all non union men
employed, before 12 o'clock Tomorrow,
the mills and concentrators will be blown
up by dynamite. Armed patrols are
guarding the mills now and the mine
owners have signed the agreement as
wished by the strikers. Both the mill of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan and the
Sierra Nevada property are now at the
mercy of the strikers. Last night will
never be forgotten by the people of this
city. A rumor reached here at 8 o'clock
in the evening that the union men from
Wallace, Gem and Mullan were marching
on Wardner and intended to attack the
Sullivan and Bunker Hill properties.
The rumor spread like wlld6re. and the
excitement became intense. About II
O'Clock special tram arrived from Wal
lace with 400 union men. They were
met at the depot by members of the
them arms and powder. Immediately
upon their arrival they mysteriously dis
appeared. In vain the mine owners and
non union men kept q sharp lookout for
an expected attack. For three hours the
silence of Sunday prevailed everywhere.
During this time, however, the union
men were not idle. Pursuant to precon-
certed plans, they divided into little
squads and were lost in the hills. When
daylight dawped the mysterious actions
of the union men became apparent.
During the darkness they silently sur
rounded the concentrators of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan, with an armed cor
don 600 strong. Giant powder and dyna
mite had been placed under the build
ings and fuses attached. They then de
maded of those inside the mill to surren-
der, which they promptly did. Formal
possession was then taken of the mills
ard the concentrators by the strikers.
This msneuver was total surprise to the
mine owners.
