sion today resolution was offered for
adjournment until Wednesday, in order
that members might attend the silver con-
gress. The resolution was amended by
striking out the words referring to the
silver congress and adopted.
Three months of the fair have now
passed and the total paid attendance for
that time is just about Z, 0C0, 600. The
exposition is all that anyone could expect,
but for unknown reasons and perhaps
owing to dilatory work of the railroads
in regard TO rates, the attendance up to
this time has been disappointment small
and unless there is q wonderful increase
during the next three months the exposI-
ton company will have hard time in
paying its debts.
The total admissions today were Ill $40,
of which 20. 254 were paid.

4 BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.
Desperate Hand to Hand Conflict
at Ashland, Wis.
RING LEADERS ARRESTED.
Non-Unlon Laborers Beaten and
Bruised by Hob.
The Awful Crime Committed by an Illinois
Man, He Murders His Family and Then
Attempts Suicide by Jumping
from a Barn.

ASHLAND, Wis. July 31.-A crisis was
reached in the lumber showers strike this
morning. The strikers openly defied the
officers of the city and county, closing
with them in hand to hand battle, in
which blood was shed freely. The Shores
Lumber company sent word to Mayor
O'Keefe that it had commenced the work of
loading boats with non-union laborers
and asked for police protection. The
mayor sent Chief of Police Schwarz and
some officers to the docks, where they
were joined by Sheriff O'Brien and depu-
ties. Work had hardly commenced,
however, when great mob of strikers
swarmed down. The foremost of them
were forcibly handcuffed by the officers
and others arrested, who were afterwards
rescued from the police by their fellows.
A desperate hand to hand contest fol-
lowed. The officers were nearly all
bruised with clubs and stones. The nom
union men were struck down with clubs
and terribly beaten as they fed panic
stricken, followed by the strikers. They
were met by officers who protected them
from further violence.
Forty of the ringleaders of the strikers
were arrested. Mayor O'Keefe says the
president of the lumber showers union
assured him that no violence would be
committed. He now swears the city will
protect the non union labor at any cost.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPE ARANCE.
A sheepman Disappears on the Sage
brush Plains of Idaho.


brush Plains of Idaho.
BOISE, Ida, July 31.-[Special. i
Farmer II. w. Warren of Mayfield,
twenty-five miles from here, today
brought in information concerning the
sudden disappearance of a sheepman
named Roderick Mckenzie, who with an
assistant named Pickering was driving
800 head of sheep from John Day river,
Oregon, to the eastern market. On the
morning of July % Pickering went ahead
to pick camping place, directing Nc
Kenzie the way TO drive the herd.
Mckenzie not putting in an appearance
at nightfall, Pickering went back to
hunt for him. He found where he lett
his employer, but no trace OF the latter
could be discovered. He hunted three
days and finally found a portion of
McKenzie's clothing, including his hat
and shoes. After searching two days
longer he gave up in despair, gathered
the scattered band of sheep and drove
them to Mayfeld, where he told his
story.
1t is supposed Mckenzie lost his way in
the trackless sage brush plain and that
after wandering day or two in the broil-
ing sun went mad. He is no doubt dead
by this time. Robbery is limited at, but
there was no incentive for such q crime,
as he only had watch and small sum
of money on him.

question as to his position on the silver
law, he said he was unalterably opposed
to repeal of the Sherman act unless some
substitute was provided. He was severely
criticized for the tone of his letter and
now replies in another letter. He says:
1.-THE charge that a Democrat is at
variance with his party who refuses to
Sherman law depends for the truth of
what the party laid down in its platform
at Chicago. Ii promises of pledges amount
to anything, the Chicago platform de-
mands the repeal of the law as an OBJ
struction to the free coinage OF silver.
The obvious meaning is that if the law
was ont OF the way we could have free
coinage. That is one OF the things pro-
pose to put in place of the Sherman law
and | propose to vote against repeal I'M
less that be done.
''If my party is opposed to that, then
the utterances at Chicago were intended
to deceive. If it was sincere, then | am
trying to stand on the platform. 1t
pledges the party to the use of both gold
and silver without discrimination. Ii
we cease to coin one and refuse to tender
1t IN payment, even by obligations which
by contract be payable therein, we do
discriminate against that metal Men OF
common sense who are loyal to the pur-
poses they profess. will not surrender the
advantages OF their position. as the law
now IN existence can be kept thus by a
nom concurrence of either the House, the
Senate, or the president, to its repeal +,
whereas the Sherman law once repealed,
the measures which are to take its place
would have to be passed by affirmative
legislation. requiring a concurrence of all
three branches of the law-making de-
partment, and no sensible man acquainted
with the situation can believe these
measures could be passed under such cir
cumstances.'

SILVER VIEWS.
Governor Mcconnell Voices the Sentiment
of Idaho People.

of Idaho People.
BOISE, Ida, July 31.-LSpecial. Gov
ernor Mcconnell, when interviewed
touching repeal of the Sherman law,
said, as voicing almost the unanimous
sentiment OF the people Of Idaho: ST am
in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law,
embodying in the same act a provision
for the unlimited coinage of silver at
ratio of IS to 1; without this provision
am unqualifedIy opposed to its repeal.
The Sherman law was enacted not in ac-
cordance with the wishes of bi-metallists,
but as species of smart practice on the
part OF the monometallists. / would now
compel the latter to continue to take the
medicine they forced not only upon the
miners of the west but upon the laboring
men and producers of the entire nation or
else allow their patriotism to assert itself
and return to the coinage prsyided by the
constitution, gold and silver both.
''History proves that where gold alone
is the standard extreme poverty with its
attendant miseries and extreme wealth
with its evils prevails. Since the de-
monetization OF silver the price of labor
and all labor producers has continually
decreased. -

FRANCE DEMANDS SECURITY.
An Uneasy Feeling in Bangkok Regarding
a Second Blockade.

q Second Blockade.
LONDON. July 31.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the Ne,Us agency says it is
learned on good authority that France
demands security from Siam that the
terms of the ultimatum be carried out,
temporary custody of Chantaboon town
near the Gulf of Siam; also that Siam
shall establish no military stations IN
certain named places near the frontier of
Cambodia or within certain distance OF
the Melbourne river.
A dispatch from Bangkok dated Mon
day, o. M, says: 'sUneasiness among
people far from lessening is increasing.
Seven more French gunbOats have
arrived. Negotiations are still going on
but the progress made is rot reported.
Intentions of the French are awaited
with fear and apprehensions. Admiral
Human has issued a second blockade
notice to take effect three days from
Saturday. Re will order the British war
ships Pallas and Swift, now lying off
Bangkok to go outside the blockade
limits. Unless the French government
interposes quickly, an attack on Bang
kok seems certain.
The Standards Paris correspondent
says: Owing to representations made to
Develle by Lord Dufferin, the question of
neutral zone between the french pos
sessions in the Siamese peninsula and
British Burmah and shan states has been
settled satisfactorily. 1t has been agreed
that the French blockade of the Siamese
coast shall be raised Immediately, but no
confirmation of this had been received
up TO late hour tonight.
A Paris telegram says it is stated on
high authority that France intends to
insure Slams carrying out the terms of
the ultimatum. The blockade will be
continued till frances demands are
satisfied. A prominent Paris mer-
chant, who owns warehouses in
Bangkok, in an interview today
expressed the opinion that decisive ae-
ton was necessary to restore the prestage
which France enjoyed in Siam after the
adoption of the commercial treaty of 1880.
French trade had resently declined
heavily he said, in consequence of Gag
lish and German enterprise and intrigues
to destroy French influence.

PENSION SUSPENSIONS.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds Writes a
Letter on the Subject.

PITTsBURG, July 31.-Judge Stagle of
Secretary of the Interior Reynolds about
the recent suspension of many pensions,

from Mr.. Reynolds explaining the policy
of the administration. Reynolds says
substantially the suspensions to which the
judge referred were made by virtue
OF an order of Secretary Holding,
in substance that a man who is
able to earn support by manual labor.
The order of Commissioner Raum fixing
rates under this act ignored the essential
cases of pension status. Inability to per-
form manual labor further more is evil
dence which might have shown that the
disability OF the results OF vicious
habits was not required the COM
missioner's ruling thus supporting the
laws. Again Raum treated disabilities
not of service origin the same as disabili-
ties which were present, the secretary
having found that the erroneous orders
of Raum were unrevoked and claims adj
Indicated Hereunder unquestioned could
not do otherwise than revoke these orders
providing new one in accordance with
the law for future practice and order re-
examination of prior adjudications to
correct error.

the administration would have been q

If the record shows illegal pension claim

sixty days to file testimony in rebuttal.
If his right to remain is shown the GUS
pension is removed, otherwise his name
is stricken from the roll.
In conclusion Reynolds says: ''We are
simply correcting abuses and placing all
pensioners under the act of June u, 1890,
on an equality. We are pledged to make
the pension roll roll of honor, and will
continue this work till the people who
demanded reform shall call halt.o

the balance of the act valid and ordered

Director Preston characterizes as ''wiId
heresy'' the proposition of Attorney
General Engley of Colorado to establish a
state bullion depository and issue certifi-
Gates against silver bullion deposited
therein. The scheme is not yiolative of

is regarded at the treasury as tenn

Important Decision by Judge Bellenger

PORTLAND, Ore, July a1.-United
States District Judge Bellinger has
rendered an important decision in the
case of Chinese woman, Sol Gum, wife
of Me KEN, Chinese merchant. The

were Justly married according to Chinese
law, and as the woman was in no sense a
prostitute he therefore allowed her to
