LABOR TROUBLE IN IDAHO.

Srs stor Dubois Thinks the CRur D'Alenc
Silver Mining Trouble enR be Settled
without Appeal to the United sta tes-
He Has Been There Before.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Du-
bois, of Idaho, was seen as to the au-
thenticity Of the rep ort that Gov.
Wiley had requested him to see
the president in relation to the labor
trouble at the Ceur D'Alene silver MN
ing district and make request for
help from the United States govern
ment in quieting the troubles. The
senator said it was news to him; that
he had not been requested to take any
such action. Idaho is a civilized COM
munity and needed no federal aid to
preserve the peace. The United States
marshal can get aid from the state mill
tia, which mum bers 900 men, if needed.
A gentleman who knew Senator
Dubois when he held the position of
United States marshal tells how the
when it had gone so far that lot of
Pinkerton detectives had been i'm
ported. Dubois put some of the de-
tectives in prison and hustled the rest
out of the state. Then he gathered the
men together, and told them the next
thing they would have to meet if they
resorted TO violence, would be the
power Of the United States, and he
thought they could not afford to do
that. They were of the same opinion
and withdrew Immediately, peacefully.

Out of Those IN the Structure There Is
But One Survivor.
LACHUTE, Quebec, June 23.-At 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon the cart
ridge factory of the Broadsburg Pow
der works, four miles east of here, blew
up with tremendous force, the concus-
sion breaking windows, even in La

there had been an earthquake. In the
building at the time were the foreman,
John Curran, of Lachute, aged 81, who
was married only two weeks ago; James
Kearns, Of Montreal, aged II; William
Gum, aged 27, Of Montreal, and Richard
Burke, aged II, of Lachute. The latter
is the only survivor. He was leaving the
factory when the explosion occurred,

A HORRIBLE SUSPICION

That the Passenger Steamer Vega Has
Gone to the Bottom with All Hands,
Nearly Thousand In Number, After
Running Down and Cutting Clean in
Two the British Sailing Ship Fred +.
Taylor. of Yarmouth, n. S., In Ballast
for New York. with Crew of Twenty
Six Men.
NEW YORK, June 27.-Mariners here
about incline to the opinion that ter
rlble disaster has recently occurred at
sea somewhere near this port, in which
more than thousand souls have
perished. The facts that lead to this
opinion are as follows:
Saturday the steamer Ocean arrived
and reported that on last Thursday
morning the wreck of a full-rigged
ship was passed in lat. 40:22 north,
long. 6S:i0 west. The captain of the
Ocean made a careful examination to
ascertain the name of the craft, but
owing to the wreck being overturned
and partly submerged he could only
make out the words yarmouth n. S.,
on the stern. The vessel was cut
through forward of the mizzen rigging,
evidently done in collision.
From description of the wreck as
given by the captain of the Ocean,
shipping men believe that the vessel is
the British sailing ship Fred #. Taylor,
of Yarmouth, n. S. This vessel was
sighted 900 miles out from Sandy
Hook on June II, and she should
have reached port over week ago.
The steamship Vega, with crew of
60 men commanded by Capt. Ross, sailed
from Lisbon on June for the Azores
and New York She had 31e passengers
when she sailed from Lisbon, and it is
expected that she shipped nearly twice
that many from the ports in the
Azores. The steamer was due here last
Tuesday, but she has not arrived. Her
agents are very anxious regarding the
vessel, while scores of the friends of the
passengers have been besieging the
barge Office to learn something of the
whereabouts of the steamship and it's
human freight.
In view of these facts therefore,
those versed in maritime affairs are of
the opinion that collision has occur
red between the Vega and the Fred i.
Taylor and that the loss of life has
been appalling.
T. E. Hurlbut was the commander of
the Taylor. His young wife is in this
, city, but knows nothing of the diaster.
