should be shipped out OF the country to-

about the arms was entered into the
union men got possession of all the rifles
and ammunition, and this evening large
bodies of armed miners went to Ward
ner, twelve miles distant, in wagons and
by rail. The mins employing nom
union there are thu Sierra Nevada,
Bunker Hill and Sullivan.
IMPOSSIBLE TO RAISE A POSSE.
BOISE (Idaho), July u.-News of the
outbreak in the Ceur d'Alene mines
created intense excitement to-day. The
Governor and United States Marshal
have been receiving dispatches all day
from the seat of the trouble, and have
kept thoroughly posted on the situation.
Marshal Pinkham stated that it would be
utterly impossible for him to raise a posse
in the north to enforce the decree of the
court, and so wired the Department of
Justice.
Special Agent Crossthwaite of that de-
partnent sent similar report, and he
expressed the opinion that the President
will be obliged to send troops, as he does
not see any force available here equal to
the emergency.
The Governor this afternoon notified
the militia companfes here, at Weiser,
Moscow and Haley to hold themselves
ready to march. These companies are
mere skeletons, and cannot muster sutfi-
Client force to cope with any determined
mob.
Late this evening the Governor decided
to call on the President for assistance,
and has sent dispatch to that effect. He
Will start the militia by special train to-
morrow morning, as soon as the Union
Pacific can get cars here for their trans
portation.
MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT.
BOISE (ldahO), July 1l.-Following is
the message sent by Governor Wiley to
President Harrison tonight
This morning a riot and bloodshed hy
striking miners of the CUur d'Alene District
commenced. A mill was blown up by dyna-
mite, and many men Were killed and injured
1nspector-General Curtis, 1. y. g., informs
me that four or five hundred armed men con-
stitute the moo. The Legislature is not in
session, and cannot be promptly convened.
The civil authority of the county'and State is
wholly inadequate to maintain peace
Ine immediately available military force
OF the Idaho National Guard numbers ONLY
1876 men, which is, in my opinion TAR too few
to successfully cope with the mob though I
Will order II at once into The field In this
emergency deem 1t necessary TO call for the
assistance OF Federal troops. /, therefore, re-
quest That Sufhclent force be detailed from
Fort sherman or elsewhere to act in concert
with the State authorities in maintaining
puohc order \. b. WILEY
Governor of Idaho.
MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
BOISE Qdaho), July IL. = Governor
Wiley has made arrangements to send
all available militia to Coeur d'Alene.
The present plan is to start tomorrow
morning. 1t is thought six companies will
march from different points within reach
OF raul transportation, mastering alto
gether from $50 to 20y men.
The Governor has ordered Company
A, National Guard, of this place to re-
port at A. NJ, and hold themselves in
readiness to proceed TO the CCeur d'Alene
troubles. 1t is thought an effective State
force cannot be sent there, and United
States Marshal Pinkham has laid the
matter before Attorney General Miller
at Washington.
A DETECTIVE SHOT.
PORTLAND Or, July 11.-M. E. Sulli-
van, local manager of the Shiel Detective
Agency, said: ''We have had few men
IN nearly every mine in the Coeur d'Alene
district since the strike began, but they
are there merely as laborers, and have no
arms. We have been expecting trouble,
but the mine-owners thought the union
men were not prepared for long strug-
gle, and would soon return to work, T
received dispatch from Wallace this
afternoon stating that Ivory Bean of Bos-
ton, one of our men, was shot and
killed"
TIE TROUBLE SPREADING.
SPOKANE, July ia message has
been received here that the union men
working in the Tiger and Poorman mines
have quit work and joined the strikers,
and that they have captured the Union
mine near Burke and taken the non
union miners prisoners.
