THE TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
An Alleged Wreck as the Result of
Green Operators.

An Alleged Wreck as the Result of
Green Operators.
KANSAS Cry, Dec. 9.-It is reported
here that freight and passenger train
on the Rock Island came together to-
night in a head end collision, between
Troy and Holton, Kan and that several
passengers were badly hurt. A dispatch
from Topeka says the officials of the
road say that there has been no wreck,
and that the rumor was started by the
strikers in order to injure the road.
The Associated Press correspondent at
Troy telegraphs that it is reported there
that the wreck took place between Man
haitian and Holton Manhattan knows
nothing of it, and the Holton Office is
closed.
OMAHA, Dec. 9.--There is little change
in the strike situation on the Rock Is.
land in Nebraska. The company has
an agent at Council Bluffs engaging new
men and sending them out, both in
Nebraska and Iowa. Trains are running
much as usual, according to the railway
officials.
WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 9-Rock Island
passenger trains are running on the
ofoers oI uepoC ayents, not regular ope-
rators; all are late. Freight trains are
nearly all side. tracked.
CHICAGO, Dee. 9,-Chief Wilkinson
OF the Railway Trainmen had lengthy
conference with Chief Ramsey of the
telegraphers. Both declined to say
whether the trainmen would as let the
strikers by refusing to work with nom
union men, but it is tacitly admitted
that the matter was thoroughly dis
Guessed.

Senator's.

NEW York, Dec. 9.-Senators Carlisle.
German and Brice met at ex Secretary
Whitner's house this afternoon to dis
cuss the situation in Nebraska, Kansas.
Montana, Wyoming and California, az
regards the next representation of those
states in the senate. Their discussion
did not end until late in the evening.
The senators will call on President-elect
Cleveland Saturday. The question OF
an extra session of congress has not
thus far been discussed. Senator Cor
man said this evening: "The Demo-
Gratis of the senate are very much con-
cerned about publications which allege
that there is an organized attempt to
reverse the will of the people as express
ed at the last election. 1t was under
stood by everybody, until within the last
few days, the Democrats had not only
elected the president and large ma
jority of the house of representatives,
but would have clear majority in the
senate. To the astonishment of all it is
now found that attempts to change the
political complexion of the Legislatures
Of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Mon
tana, North Dakota and California are
under way. Hence our visit here is to
confer with the campaign committee
and take euch measures as are possible
tn prevent any attempt at outrage that
might be made. The national commit
tee, of course, can do nothing
more than counsel with the COM
mittee of each of the states
threatened by the returning boards,
and give such advice as the case may
require. The main work must be done
by the residents of the states. We can
encourage them and be kept fully in
formed so that while the case comes be-
fore the United States senate all the in
formation and facts may be properly
brought before that body. so it may not
be in the position it was when by sharp
manipulation two Republicans were
seated from Montana. What we desire
to do is to see that the will of the peo-
pie as recorded at the election il
reepected" +"

A Bloody Riot Precipitated by Gan
lalarIs

A Bloody Riot Precipitated by n Gam
bler's Good Luck.
SPOKANE, WASH, Dec. "a terrible
riot occurred at Wenatchee last night,
and for three hours the town was in the
control of mob OF frenzied graders and
Italians. Wenatchee is town about
100 miles west of here on the Great
Northern road. The trouble was started
by a drunken railroad man and
gambler named Tom Guilland. He
worked on the road at different times
during the year, coming to town to
carouse every pay day. On these occa-
sions he stopped with woman known
as Susette. This woman for a month
past has been living with Giuseppe
Waco, faro dealer, who is sort of
boss among the Italians. of whom
there are a great number on the
road. A week ago Guilland came
to town and after two days his money
was all gone. Yesterday he was paid a
small cum of money which was coming
to him, and starting at crap game,
wound up the evening by breaking the
faro bank, being over $4,000 ahead
SGsette heard the-ne&s and started for
the place, saying she would go with the
man who had the luck. Waco stopped
her, threatening to kill her. Guilland
knocked him down and started off with
the woman. Before they had gone
block, Waco and dozen other
Italians were upon them. and a,
fierce fight ensued. The screams
of the woman and the shouts
OF Guilland brought a gang of graders
to the rescue. Thereupon Waco sum-
moned more Italians and pitched bat
tile was soon in progress. The railway
men gathered in group with Guilland
and the woman in the center, and began
to retreat slowly, firing as they went,
and calling for help as they fell back.
Others joined them and finally they
made stand. The Italians pressed
them closely, and it seemed for time
as though the railroad men would be
wiped out, but eventually their superior
armament, most of them having re-
volvers, saved them, Many, however,
were badly cut by knives and
wounded by stones and other missiles
thrown by the Italians. Both parties
gradually broke up into email bands and
scattered through the town, Guilland
and the woman having been spirited
away to piece of safety. Fighting be.
tween the small parties continued in
different parts of town until daylight.
About dozen men were injured, but
none fatally.

British Delegates Responsible for
the Lack of Results.

6tart-SenAtor Jones to Wind
Up the Debate Next
Tuesday.


By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-[Copssipigh 1892, by
the New York Associatecf Press. Let
ters from the British deieastes to the
Brussels conference announce their re-.
turn to England next week. They will
oppose whatever requests the American
delegates may make in regard to pro-
longed adjournment. The representa-
tive OF the Associated Press has author
ity from high source to state that the
official delegates, Sir Charles Wilson
Rivers and Sir Charles Frsmantle,
deputy master OF the British mint, do
not expect the conference to be rdsumed
after adjournment, and that Hertram
Currie will decline to return to Brussels.
In the meantime Baron Herichell's
India currency committee, which had
adjourned without date until the Brus-
sells conference should be ended, has re-
sumed its sittings and is taking the evil
dence of experts. The members of the
committee seem strongly in favor of the
adoption OF gold coinage in India and
the concurrent cessation of the free
coinage of silver. What chiefly pre-
vents the early determination OF this
policy is the uncertainty prevailing
among the members regarding the ac-
tion of the American government, as
the rick of the paralysis of the Anglo
Indian trade would be increased ten
fold under the repeal or suspension of
the silver purchase act. The
committee has strong reason to
await developments in the United
States. Currie is among the
minority which seems ready to risk
everything by prompt declaration in
favor of gold. The represent tative of
the Associated Press has reason to state
that apart from the protests of the
Anglo-Indian bankers, leading single
standard experts have advised the COM
mittee against such radical change in
the Indian currency. The Indian gov
ernment also would perfer that the com-
mittee present such report to parlia-
ment rs will be tantamount to a recon-
mendation that the existing system be
left untouched.
Being questioned by the Indian Cur
rency association ns 20 whether its~ould
take measures to protect the currency
in the event of the failure of the Brus-
sells conference, the Indian government
today replied, declining to give assu
RANGES on the subject. The reply fur
ther stated that the government cannot
recommend that the secretary for India
stop the sale of consul bills below the
rates now current. Pending decision
by the Herschell committee, the India
Currency association thought to steady
the position by getting the Indian gov
ernment to promise not to sell consul
bills below a fixed rate. The govern
ment, however, prefers to retain com
plete freedom of action.

THE REV. BIRDS BLUFF.
A Sensational Libel Suit Dropned ~,
CunfessiOn nf Vcrror

a sensational Libel Suit Dropped on
Confession of Error.
AUBURN, N. Y, Dec. 9.-The sensa-
tlonal caee of the People vs. Rev. Levi
b rd came to sudden ending in the
court OF SESSIONS this morning. The
clergyman was under Indictment for
criminal libel, in having preached a
sermon in the pulpit of the Trinty
Methodist Episcopal church, charging
the aldermen and other city officials
with having gone on a Sunday excur.
sion on the lake in drunken debauch.
1t happened that two of the officials
mentioned by their titles, the city Judge
and chief of police, did not accom-.
pany the excufsionists at all. They
gave the defendant chance to pub
licly retract, but lie replied that he
would go to jail fret. His indictment
Tor criminal libel followed, and the case
was called at the opening of the sessions
this morning. Birds lawyer made an
address in which he said his client was
clearly case of q mind diseased. an
lmputation which Bird did not resent.
Counsel made abject apologies on be-
half OF his client, who agreed to drop
the matter and not preach a sermon as
announced tor next Sunday on the same
subject. The matter was thereupon
dismissed.

property, large or small, discharging
men. There are hundreds of mines not
being worked; many are small and their
output cut no great figure, but the ag-
gregate of persons thrown out of employ
ment is large enough to exercise ma
terial influence on the general condition
OF trade. Colorado would be on the
verge of disaster were it not tor its re-
sources, other than precious metals,
which have been developed rapidly DUR
ing the last six or eight years. Last
year it's agricultural products exceeded
In value its product of gold, silver and
lead, but large districts are wholly de-
pendent on mining. The belief is wide
spread that if the report of the Brussels
conference is decidedly averse to free
coinage, there will be another heavy
drop in silver, and that half the mines
now being worked will be closed. Un
der 70 cents there are not likely to be
dozen purely silver mines in operation.
Banks and stores are preparing to meet
the emergency.
A special from Carson, New, says:
The most noticeable evidence of
NevaGa's depressed condition from the
low market price of the white metal is
the constant depopulation of the towns
which few years ago produced many
thousands of dollars of gold and silver.
Virginia City at one time contained
10000 people and the annual output of
silver reached millions of dollars. At
present the population is 1000 and mines
formerly paying magnificent dividends
are running behind. The quartz mills
on the Carson river, when silver was at
par. ran 1928 Fore stamps, each with
a capacity of three tons OF ore per day.
Now there are but 66 stamps in opera
tion, and they are not running to the
full capacity. There is hardly enough
bullion to keep the Carson mint in
operation, and Nevada's small towns are
being deserted.

APPROACHING THE END.

Senator Jones to Close the Debate In
the Monetary Conference.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.-It is expected that
Senator Jones will wind up the debate
in the monetary conference Tuesday
with an important declaration. The
concluding sitting Thursday will en-
deavor to crystallize the results of the
conference. Regret has been expressed
the last few days that Rothschild's pro.
posals were completely Withdrawn, as it
was felt they would have formed the
basis of temporary compromise, if an
understanding with regard to the chief
objection of the Americans as to the
price at which silver should be pur-
chased could be arrived at. A scheme
on similar lines may yet be adopted, in
which event the conference will adjourn
until May.
The Belgian prime minister, Beernart,
emphatically denies that he has de-
clared the conference practically fail
ure.
The bi-metallist delegates are discues-
ing whether or not they shall unite in
signing memorandum on the obstruc-
tion offered by Great Britain to the de.
termination of the questions before the
conference. II the conference resumes
its sittings after prolonged adjourn
ment, such protest is conceived as
likely to induce the British government
to present to the conference decided
policy through its delegates acting in
union thereon. The present British
delegation appears to have been sent
purposely to muddle the proceedings
There is no coheeion among the British
representatives, either as to principle or
procedure. Each delegate appears to
act as an individual agent, except Sir q.
Rivers Wilson and Sir Fremantle, dep
uty master of the British mint, the latter
of whom used his official posit on to dis
claim any responsibility for the pro
posals presented by Roghschild, Bertram
Currie and Sir William Houldsworth
have not single idea in common, and
have a strong mutual contempt for each
others views. Neither General Strschey
nor Sir Guilford Molesworth, the Indian
delegates, have official orders ae to the
course to take. 1t has been made clear
that the British government has pur-
posely avoided giving any instructions
tending to the common action of its dele
gates upon any point whatever. 1t is
now obvious that THE course waa de-
signed to foil the conference in accom-
plishing any general or special solution
OF the silver question.

San Frsncisco.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 9.-Chee Fong,
the young Chinese girl who evaded the
vigilance of Los Angeles detectives for
the purpose of coming to the Presbyte-
rian mission here, arrived in the city
last night in charge OF Officer Bosqui.
She was at once driven to the institu-
tion presided over by Miss Culberton.
At Fresno an effort was made to
secure the girl on writ of habeas cor
pus, but Bosqui doubted it's bona
tideness and refused to give his charge
up.
The girl is wanted, it is said, by
certain Chinaman in Los Angeles, wi hose
chattel she was, but it is claimed that
she prefers to lead life OF respectability
at the mission. She is 19 years old,
native of San Jose, and has spent sew
eral years in China. 1t lie said that an
effort will be made to recapture her.

SIMPLY PLAYED OUT.
Treasury OmciaIs Attach No Importance

Treasury OficiaIs Attach No Importanc ce
to the Closing of Mines.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The treasury
officials attach no special significance to
the dispatches from Denver in regard to
the panicky condition of the silver min
ing interests of Colorado. The fact that
many small mines are being abandoned
is taken to indicate simply that they
are played out and can no longer be
worked at profit. 1t is held that the
recent depreciation of silver in the Lon
don market, and the predicted failure
of the international conference to advo.
cate the more liberal use of silver as
money. can have no direct bearing on
the present situation in Colorado, for
the reason that silver has risen in value
within the past few days, the treasury
department paying half cent more to-
day than Wednesday.
The trearury department today pur-
chased 100000 ounces of silver at
so. .S405 to so S410.

here by way of Lemoore that Evans and
Sontag were seen few days ago in the
White Deer valley, and that Edwin
Dooley, stockowner in that vicinity,
had been fred at by them while search
ing for a missing horse. Dooley says
after firing at him Evans and Sontag ac.
costed him harshly, asking what he was
doing in that neighborhood. Dooley
assured them he was not aiding the de-
tectives, and hastened to get out of the
robbers vicinity. Dooley says Sontag
still carries his arm in a cling and that
the men had their feet wrapped in
gunny sacks, presumably to prevent
making tracks.
