BERLIN, Jan, 4-This has been dav of
Keen anxiety in the Saar district, where
the striking miners and anarchist leaders
made desperate attempt to save the
cause by spreading terror and threatening
an open conflict. In Puttlingen mob of
200 strikers raided the houses of men who
refused to join them, dragged out and beat
several. and smashed windows. In For.
bach mob, starting out with similar
purpose, was stopped for moment by
priest. A pistol was fired at the priest
as he spoke against anarchists, and a
shower of stones fell around him. The
mob made rush for him. but he saved
himself by running away. The mob broke
few windows of miners who refused to
stop work. and dispersed at the pit mouth.
The men are still working and the mine
officials are in constant danger of being
killed. Many strikers have revolvers, and
a few with rifles are firing reckIessly.
Reports from Saar tonight are to the
effect that despite the leaders and the ap-
parent responsiveness of the men, the
strike is weakening.

CnEHALrs, Jan. Especial. I'm tho
preliminary examination Of Drs. Menkler
Guile and Mrs. Mccormick, charged with
numbering an old man named Wright. Of
Centraiia, the state rested tonight.
The last testimony was that Of
several doctors, introduced TO show
that the operation made upon Wright
was unnecessary, certain to result fatally
to man of his age, and did so result in
this case. No new evidence beyond that
given to the coroner's jury has been
offered. 1t is not believed that the defense
will offer any testimony. as defendants
will probably be bound over TO
the superior court anyway. Il is
further whispered around that Guile is
ready to turn states evidence. This ru-
NOR probably arose from the testimony of
Witness Ellis, who stated today that q
short time previous to the arrest Guile
asked him, as Wrights guardian, for

Delay on Public Buildings.

WASHINGTON CRY. Jan. 4.-Congressman
Owen Scott, of Illinois, today introduced
a resolution calling upon the secretary OF
the treasury for information regarding the
progress of public buildings in various
parts of the country. for which approprla-
tons were made In 1890. Upon investiga-
ton and inquiry of the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury. Mr.. Scott finds that
of seventy-five buildings, Improvements
and extensions, for which appropriations
were made in 1890, contracts for the erec-
ton have been let for only fifteen, and for
ten others partial contracts only have neen
let. On fifty others nothing has been
done. Mr.. Scott insists that the contracts
for public buildings are systematically
held up because of the depleted condition
OF the treasury, and that it appears to
have been the policy of the administra-
ton to avoid every step that would require
cash from the government.
