MINERS MEAN TO FIGHT.
An Armed Body Marches Out From
Wallace.


SPOKANE, Wash., July IA large
force of armed miners left Wallace this
morning. They were joined by an
equally large force of armed strikers
from Mullan. The party intend en-
trenching themselves in the Mullan
detile and awaiting the arrival of the
colored troops now en- route from Mis-
soula to Wardner. AS soon as the
soldiers reach the defile the strikers
intend surrounding them. A bloody
battle apparently will inevitably be the
result. All the newspaper men are vlr-
tualIy prisoners at Wardner and are
unable to send out any dispatches.
Nearly all the business men of Ward
ner who were suspected of anti-union
sentiment have been driven out of town
by the strikers and are now in the hills.
Mine owners and their representatives
are In danger of their lives IN Wallace.
The report IS corroborated of the massa-
ere of non-unlOn men at the Mission
by the strikers who were conducting
them out of the country. Twelve men
are known to have been killed. Among
the number is Monaghan, superinten-
dent of the Gem mine, whose body WAS
terribly mangled.

MEETING or The MEN.
They VIII Consider Plans to Give Aid
TO the Needy.

.
TO the Needy.
HOMESTEAD. July ls.--There will be
. meeting of the locked out men At the
opera house At 10 q. m. tomorrow to
consider the plans for giving aid 10 the
familles of the men who need help on
account OF the strike. One OF the
leaders said tonight that the steel work
ers could stay locked cut for SIX
months without difficulty. The higher
priced men are IN good circumstances
and none of the relief funds will go to
them. The day laborers and those
who are manned or sick or infirm will
be attended To. aud also the widows
and families OF the men killed III the
battle with the Plnkertous.
The advisory committee has re-
ceived 655 letters up to date and about
200 per day are coming now. Only q
small proportion contain checks, more
of them are tendeis OF sympathy and
offers of financial assistance from
labor organizations in all parts of the
country. Many are letters from cranks
and would-be humorists.

WILL ALL GO OUT
The Foremen and Superinten-
dents Threaten
TO AID THE nOMESTeADERS
BY Quitting if the Carnegie Company
Does Not Recall It's Declaration to
Guard the Works.

HoaEsrEAp. July IA meeting of
foremen, superintendent OF the de-
partments and boss mechanics of the
Carnegie mills WAS held today and ac-
ton WAS taken which will have an im-
portant bearing on the sltuation. These
men are not on strike and they have
not taken any action favorable to the
workers. Today they resolved that
they would not operate the works un-
der All armed guard. This decision
practically means that tho mills will
not be run with non-union labor and
the Carnegie company must settle with
its Homestead men before resumlng
operations. Several memLers OF the
advisory committee confirmed the
report of The action by the
heads of the departments. One
prominent leader said that it would be
utterly impossible for work to be re-
sumed without the cooperation OF the
foremen, as no men can be found TO
take their places, even If non-union
steel workers are obtained. He also
said that there is little probability Of
any number of the latter being lndu ced
to come To Homestead. He said that
not q boarding house or hotel IN town
will feed one of these men, and skilled
mechanics cannot be induced to live in
tents or shanties inside the null. His
conclusion Is that the only alternative
left to the Carnegie people Is settle
ment with their Old men.
Leaders Made Indignant.
The leaders of the strikers were very
indignant this afternoon at the publi-
cation OF an alleged interview with one
of their number IN Il PIttsburg after
noon paper, which stated that the
Homestead men do not want the en-
pioye es of Carnegie's Thirty-third and
Twenty-ninth street mills at Pittsburg
to go out. Their position 10 just the
reverse of this. They want every EN-
ploye of mill in which Carnegie is In.
terested to quit work and to remain out
until the trouble at Homestead is
settled in u way satisfactory TO the
Amalgamated association. AS matter
of tact the grand lodge of tue associa.
ton advised all lodges in Carnegie's 8
mills to go out in reply to the charge
that such q course would be q breach
of contract, the other mills having
signed the scale they take the position
thar the different Carnegie mills are
only branches or departments OF one
plant. and q refusal to recognize the
lodge of the ASSOCIATION in one district
involves all the others.
The laborers will be kept at work q
full day longer. Ii is said that lumber.
wherewith to build high fence about
the upper mills, has been ordered and
will be put in at once. superintendent
Tate of the keystone bridge works says
that the bridge work will not he affect
ed by the strike at the other mills.

Aliens Shortage Exaggerated.

NASHVILLE, July 1.-THE charge
that Comptroller J. w. Allen was $60,-
900 short WAS overrated, but the charge
that he is s.. 900 short is still undenled.
Comptroller Allen said he would ex-
plain few days ago, but he has failed
to come forward yet. The facts are
that Allen collected 81, 900 IN March,
1891. from the Southern and Adams
Express companies and has never
turned the money into the
state treasury. He claimed that he
had the money on depoeit with
the Sax bank when it failed, but Sax
brothers deny that he ever had over
$4,000 on deposit with them ut any
time. Vigorous protests are beginning
TO come in from every part OF the state,
and dozen newspapers have demand
cd an investigation.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE first case

witnesses were called, Attorneys Mead
and Raymond, representing the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific made
lengthy statements in which they de-
clared that both of the lines ac-
knowledged the jurisdiction of the
commission to govern rates be-
yond the boundaries of the
United States. The first witness
examined was David Brown. freight
agent of the Chicago & Grand Trunk

examination as q witness as also did II.
