MINERS WAR.
Idaho Militia Called Out to
QuelI Disturbance.
Unien Miners Strike for $3.50 . Day and
Undertake to Enforce Their Demand
with Bullets and Giant Powder
Twenty Killed

WALLACE. IDAHO, July 13.-The labor
4,oa,ble at the Occur de Leon mines culmi
mated in battle.
The cause of the strike was q demand Of
tho union men for $3.50 per day for every man
working under ground. The mine ownerl
offeped s., which was refused. The lockout
then began April BY the Mine-owners' asso-
citation, and 1900 union miners were thrown
out of work. Since then the mine owners
have been making q struggle to run the mines
With nou-union men and guards. Tension
has been great for months. The examples at
Homestead and the court decision making a
perpetual injunction against the miners
union brought matters to a head. A rumor
in 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
Frisco mine he was fired upon. he ran back
several hundred yards to Gem and soon the
miners in the town gathered with arms.
They marched in body toward the Frisco
mill, located directly in front of the mine.
When scarcely within rife range from the
Frisco mill volley greeted the miners, anu
lead whistled all around them. They scat
tered and a 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-
era. The non-union men then showed q
white flag and surrendered.
BOISE CRY, 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 In de6nace of an Injunction of
the court.

Crop Reports show . Falling on From

Per Cent or

New YoRx, July 1s.-R g. Dun d Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade states that the crop
reports promise results not equal to last
years.
With decrease of only per cent, the
wheat yield would be far beyond the quantity
consumed and exported in any previous year
except last, and nearly equal to last years
consumption and exports. The prices have
dropped below "a cents, but SINCE have been
stronger. The western receipts were large,
there being 1850, 900 bushels in three days
and exports of 1900 bushels in the same
time.
The corn acreage shows decrease of ~
per cent, and the price has dropped 80 cents
during the week. Oats have declined cents,
while hog products are stronger. pork being
Is cents per barrel higher. Coffee unchanged.
The cotton report shows condition only 2
per cent. below that of last year, and on any
estimate of acreage, the yield, with the sur
plus still IN sight, will more than meet all
the demands for the year.
Pig iron has been weak at recent reduc
ton in price. The closing of many mills has
greatly incresssd the immediate demand for
finished products, and prices are stronger,
though the cOQCrdCUS IOr IuUuI6 delivery arc
at the old prices, and for beams the lowest
ever quoted.
Wool is active and prices are unchanged:
Business has been active in dry goods for
the season. Cottons are strong.
The money markets are aDundantly sup
piled. The banks have been refusing certi-
6cates to gold exporters, and the redemption
of notes has withdrawn coin from the treas
ury, which nevertheless, holds as much gold
as a week ago.
The business failures of the past week were
100, compared with 176 the previous week.

Pinkertons Should be Arrested.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 1e.-General Master
Workman Powderly has addressed letter te
President Harrison, and another to Governo,
Pattison, calling attention to the fact that
the laws of the United States and of Penn
sylvania have been violated by the invasion
of Pinkertons on July 8. Mr.. Powderly says
that whoever usurped the functions of the
comnander-in-chief of the army of the
Omitted States, in ordering these men to in
should be punished according to law.
He therefore asks for an investigation. In
his letter to the governor he points out the
illegality of the acts of the Pinkertons in
operating as an armed body without the gov
renor's permission, and asks that steps be
Immediately taken to effect punishment.
Another point made by Mr.. Powderly is that
as armed men they came altogether from
outside the state, and as such could not hold
Office; they could not be sworn in as deputies.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1s.-A meeting of

have an important bearing on the situation.
These men are not on strike and they have
not until now taken any action. They re-
solved that they would not operate the works
under an armed guard. This decision prac-
tically means that the mills will not be run
with non-union labor and the Carnegie COM
pany must settle with its Homestead men
before resuming operations.
