WALLACE INVESTED.
r ioters Dazed bv the Sudden Appearance
of the Troops.

WALLACE, Idaho, July 1.-THE in
vestment of the military is being made
stronger, and the arrests continue. The
imprisoned miners are sullen and seem
dazed by the suddenness with which the
non-union men were restored to the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mines. Col. Carlin
went to Mullan yesterday. The rioters,
hearing of the approach of the troops, for
the most part got away and few arrests
were made. Among those captured
were Justice of the Peace Frazer and
Postmaster Marsh, both sympathizers
with the union and both newspaper men.
The troops went up from Burke station
from the depot to the mouth of the
mines. When the miners were hoisted
they were marched to the train. Several
fugitives were arrested at Murray trying
to get out of the country.

mittee held its investigation here last
week its chief object was to discover the

facture of ton of steel. Mr.. Frick re-

the Homestead workmen who were wit
nesses did all in their power to obtain the
figures. Great caution was exercised to
prevent the publication Of these figures,
but the cost of making a ton of basic

been secured. These grsdes of steel are
more expensive than Bessemer billets. It

LONDON, July 17.-All the cabinet min
listers have been summoned to London
for Thursday next. Lord Salisbury went
to Windsor today to meet the Duke of
Devonshire. He had a conference with
Her Majesty and returned to London this
evening, accompanied by the Duke of
Devonshire. 1t is expected that some
developments of an unwonted character
are impending. The Liberal leaders are
prepared to take Office Immediately or
await the defeat of the government on
the amendment to the address. No tac-s
tics the present government can adopt
will force the hands of Mr.. Gladstone.
AS to the coming crisis in Parliament, a
month must elapse before the actual bust
ness of the House begins; the swearing
in of members takes fortnight; then
the election of speaker and chaimen, of
committees proceeds, involving possibly
debate; next comes the discussion of the
amendment to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne. If this is fol-
lowed by change of government, Mr..
Gladstone may take fortnigkF to form a
ministry, number of the ma mbers of
which may require reelection. The Lib
erals thus calculate that it will be Octo-
ber before the new government can be
called upon to present to Parliament its
programme.
The number of members thus far re-
turned is 652. This leaves IS results yet
undeclared. England has sent 284 Con-
servatives, 1893 Liberals. including mem-
bers of the Labor party, so Unionists and
one McCarthyite ffara o. 'Connor). Scot
land sends II Conservatives, so Liberals
and 10 Unionists. Wales sends two Con-
servatives and 26 Liberals. Ireland sends
II Conservatives, five Unionists, "a Nc
Carthyites and nine Parnellites. The
opposition combined aggregates 342; the
Unionists 80. Of the IS seats yet unre-
turned, twelve are Irish and six British.
In the late Parliament 13 were held by
the opposition and five by the Unionists.
As changes are unlikely, the new Parlia-
ment will consist of 355 Gladstonians and
315 UnioniStS.
