calamity would involve GEO lives

in twain by some other craft about TWENTY

NEW YORK, June 26-Rev. Thomas
Dixon, jr., under bail pending trial on the
charge of libeling Excise Commissioner
koch from the pulpit, as prelude TO his
sermon today, made Il statement of facts
upon which the so-called libelous words
in his review on May 20 were based.
Dixon said in part:
Tammany is simply trying to throttle free
speech in the pnlpit of New York. There is no
mystery in Iammany's complaint before a
Tammany judge, it being shot like lightning
through the district attorneys Office into the
itching talons of Tammany foreman, es-
pecially when the indictment is based On
an assault on Tammany. Tammauy Hail is the
most powerful coterie of organized criminals
that ever dominated life in any civilization. 1t

merciless iron heel it crushes the weak, in-
tmidates the half hearted and deies the strong.

lie, damming with the hot breath OF corrup-
ton and dishonor every ramiiication of our
body polite. Like fostering cancer. il is lit
orally eating the heart out of the honor OF our
ambitious young manhood.

Fiscal Year Nearly Ended.
WASHINGTON City, June 26.-This weeks
work IN congress is shrouded in uncer-
tainty. Much depends upon the responses
TO urgent kilograms sent out demanding
rather than asking a return OF the absent
members to their posts of duty. Not a
single regular annual appropriation bill
has yet become law, although the fiscal
year expires on Thursday, and resort must
be had 10 the expedient of extending the
appropriations by joint resolutions to pre-
vent total stoppage of the machinery Of
the government.
In the Senate a formal vote will probably
be taken on the single amendment remain
ing Unacted upon IN the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. The legislative appropria-
ton bill will be reported tomorrow, and
then will follow the agricultural bill, rs we'll
as the pension and postofIice appropriation
bill, with the sundry civil and general
deficiency bills in the order named. 1t is
expected that the diplomatic and consular,
and probably the naval appropriation bills
viii be agreed upon in conference before
the end of the week. Action on the anti
option bill is probable if it emerges from
the committe as generally expected.
IfSp quorum appears in the House on
Monday the general deficiency bill will be
put on final passage and District of
Columbia business be taken up. The de-
bate on the tin plate bill may continue
throughout the week, but may be post
poned until next week. The intention of
the committee on rules is to designate 4

A Big and Little Ono Going in and
Three in Operation.

EDMoNDs. June 26.-[Special. The large
body of excellent cedar timber adjacent to
this city has been the means of causing
many shingle weavers to visit this section
within the past few months. and as a re-
suit three mills are now running daily and
two more, one Of them a very large one,
will shortly be turning out shingles at
rapid rate.
The largest mill in the town is that
leased by c. E. Codd and D. w. Dwyer.
In addition to making cedar siding, these
gentlemen have purchased a ten-hlocker
and a double machine, which, when in
operation, will manufacture about 210, 900
shingles per day. Part of the machinery
is on the ground. the balance being ex-
pected in few days.
August Holmquest has just made an ar
rangement to establish mill on the water
front, which, when in operation, will turn
out about 45, 200 per day.
OF the mills already in operation, ]. w.
Currie's, in the woods two miles east of
here, has capacity of $1,000 a day, and
has just entered the trust; Keeler e Min
neker's averages $4,000 and has turned ont
as high as 6S 900 day, and Daniels Bros.
is again running regularly with capacity
of 10000 day.
The operation of these mills has resulted
in much financial benefit to this town.
Already many newcomers have arrived,
and vacant houses will soon be thing of
the past

Taubeneck Says They May Combine and
Claims 1000 900 Alliance Votes.

ST. Louis, June 26-H. f. Taubeneck,
chairman of the Peoples party national
executive committee, was questioned to-
day regarding the party's prospects. He
said regarding the silver-producing states
during the coming campaign:
From the correspondence 1 am receiving, es-
pecially from Colorado, neither Harrison nor
Cleveland can poll over 5 per cent. of their
respective parties votes. This holds true in
every other mining state. think the conven-
ton of Democrats called by delegates
from Colorado at the Chicago conven-
ton will declare both the Chicago
nominee and platform as uu-Democrat C,
repudiate it and elect delegates to confer with
the Peoples party at Omaha. They will also
call on every silver state to do the same, and /
think it will be done. The executive commit
tee of the Bimetalic League is now in session,
and from information received they will de-
clare both old parties enemies to bi-metallism
and issue call to the free silver clubs and bi.
metallic leagues to send delegates to Omaha to
confer with the Peoples party. With proper
nominations and good canvass we will sweep
the South and West.
When asked regarding tine voting
strength of the party, Taubeneck said:
"From the roll books of the different or
ganizations last February, we had between
60O0, 900 and 1000, 900 voters"
OMAHA, June 26.-The Coliseum, which
is to be used as the hall for the Independ-
ent national convention, is the hands of
mechanics, and the arrangements are rap
idly approaching completion. The hall
will seat 1000 people besides the dele
gates. 1t is expected that the crowd in at
tendance will exceed anything that Omaha
has dealt with, and thousands of private
houses will be open for the entertanm
of guests. The local Grand Army post
proposes to have an immense camp, where
they will take care of the Confederate vet
Grams who come to the convention. Citi-
zens are arranging for an old-fashioned
spread-eagle Fourth of July celebration.
In many respects the convention will be
unique. 1t has no precedent to be guided
by, and it is thought confusion NAV re-
suit. Who will preside is question of
much doubt. Some gossip is attending
the distribution of admission tickets, it
being reported that members of the older
parties will secure control of the tickets
and pack the convention with heelers to
turn it into farce. V. o. Strickler, acting
for Taubeneck. says there is no foundation
for the report, as the convention will
be almost wholly within the control of the
Independent party.
