THE SPECIAL SESSION.
Views OF Western and Southern States
men as to Its Duties.

sI6Wb Oh western ana 6Outnern StaDos-
men as to Its Duties.
NEW YORK, July 20.-The World
prints replies received to telegraphic
request sent to the governors and
United States senators OF every state
south Of Mason and Dixon's line and
west OF the Mississippi river for state
ment of their views upon three ques-
tions, viz: First, whether or not they
favor the repeal of the Sherman act ;
second, what measure they would sub.
stitute for the Sherman law, If they are
not in favor of Its unconditional repeal /;
third, whether or not the extra session
OF congress should enact tariff legisla-
tion.
So far as heard from not single south
ern or western governor or United States
senator favors the Sherman law out and
out. Some southerners favor its uncon-
ditional repeal. All are willing and
many anxious that it be repealed condi-
tionally, but do not agree as to what
ought to be substituted for it. Nearly
all the western and some of the southern
statesmen favor absolute free coinage
of silver. Senator Powers of Mon
tana emphaticaNy states it as his
opinion that unconditionalre repeal cannot
be carried. and others say unconditional
repeal wocld be dangerous expert
ment. Several replies from Republicans,
as we'll as Democrats, favor tariff legis-
tion by the special session, but most OF
them say the tariff question ia dwarfed
by the financial problem and ought to
be left alone until congress- meets in
regular session.

Several Millions Beg ueathed to Charit-
able and Public institutions.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The will OF
A. J. Drexel was probated this morning.
One million dollars 10 given the Ger
man hospital at Philadelphia and ST.
600 900 as fund for the establishment
of public art gallery in Philadelphia.
He creates eix separate funds of 81 ,000,-
600 each for the benefit of the six chill
dren left by the deceased daughters,
Mrs. Biddle and Mrs. Paul. He pro-
vides for the requirement by his estate
of the full control OF the Public Ledger
after the death OF George w. Childs, in
accordance with an agreement now in ex-
istence, and provides for the continuance
of the Drexel interest in the firms of
Drexel & Co., Drexel, Morgan & Co. and
the Drexel company. He further de-
vises the sum OF 100000 to James w !.
Paul, ir., his son-in-law, as a token of
affection, and provides that in the case
of the death of George w. Childs
Drexel, without issue, there shall be
given $500, 900 to his widow.
The estate is generally believed to be
worth 100000. The residue of his
estate, after the creation of the funds
referred to, is committed to the execu-
tors, not one of whom shall receive
more than $4,000 for his services,
the income OF the estate to be divided
among his surviving children.
In remembrance OF the servants OF
the Drexel family and the employees OF
the Drexel banking houses, sums of
money are left to each. many of the
gifts being as much as $1,000.
No reference is made to the Drexel
institute beyond leaving it his books,
pictures and articles OF curiosity. Dur
ing his life he contributed nearly $2,-
900, 900 to the institution and it ia
thought he contemplated further en-
dowment. It is understood the surviv-
ing children will carry out this idea and
subscribe among themselves $1,000,00

A Crime Committed Ten Years Ago and
No Ono Convicted OF.
WAuPAcA, Wis. July 2O.-Samuel
Stout, Tad Prior and Edward Bronson
were acquitted by the jury this after
noon of the murder of Samuel Mead.
The trial lasted six weeks. The result
will no doubt end in quashing the in
dictments against A. R. Lea, A. ]. Poll,
David Holmes aud Rodney Ohesley.
Mead was banker and while working
over his books on the night Of October
8, 1888, was shot and robbed of $4,000 in
cash and $4,000 In bonds. Several per-
sons have been arrested during the 10
years that have elapsed and one man
nsmed Vandeear barely escaped convic-
tion.
The claim was made in the case that
ended today that Mead was murdered
by q gang OF young men who were out
for lark and who intended to frighten
the old man, but being recognized,
killed him and took the money. Lea
has since become leading merchant Of
the town, and was q member OF the leg
islatupe when indicted. Bronson is now
q leading merchant of Tacoma, Wash.
Sznight, after conference between
the Judge and district attorney. the cases
against A. R. Lea, A. J. Poll, D. Holmes.
Rodney Chesley and Kenny Sherman
were quashed. The only one against
whom proceedings are left is William
Hanscomb, who was arrested in Wash
ington and held as states witness. He
disappointed the states attorney, failing
to 60 on the stand and testify as ex-
pected.

ROUTED BY STRIKERS.
THE CRISIS IN THE KANSAS MIN
ERS' TROUBLE.
Pits at Weir City Rsided by Band of
500 Men and Women-Flresrms
Used and Several Persons
wounded.

WEIR CRY. Kan., July 20.-The ex-
pected crisis in the Kansas m iners'
strike came today. It was caused by
hestrikers declining to allow miners
whoare willing to work to do so. Just
before noon band of 500 strikers who
had been marching to the various Strip
pits, reached Dement'S pit about mile
south Of here, being beaded by 100
women. They sent in q committee to
persuade the miners to quit. A refusal
was returned and then the entire band
of marchers moved on the works to
force the men out. The Strip men we're
ready for them and when they passed
the trespass line, they were fred upon
and general battle followed, In which
rifles, pistols and clubs were used.
Fortunately nobody was fatally
hurt. One man, one woman
and boy received painful bullet wounds
and a number of people on both sides
were badly beaten with clubs, but no
one will die. AS the result of the battle
the men in the Strip were routed by the
strikers and forced to fee for their lives.
pursued br bowling mob. The owner
OF the pit, Clements, his son and man
named Big Dick Reed are said to be the
ones who did the shooting, and they
have given themselves up and were run
out of the county for safe keeping. Ex-
element continues at high pitch, and
further bloodshed seems inevitable. 1t
is rumored that quantity of firearms
has been received here tonight.
The women. who were mostly Ger
mans and BohemianH, entered into the
fighting more fercely even than the
men. They welded clubs with vigor
and precision, and did great execution.
The sheriff of the county, who is Pop
ulist, declines to furnish protection for
the working miners. He is in sympathy
with the strikers. The owhers will now
employ guards OF their own.
PIrrsBURa. Kan, July 20.-The min
ers OF this vicinity are in high state of
excitement over the news from Weir
City, and many express the opinion that
this is but the beginning of worse
trouble. A mass meeting will be held
tomorrow.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
A Decision Affecting Their Right to
Enter Combinations.

Enter Combinations.
ST.. PAUL, Minn., July 20.-The su-
preme court of the state handed down
today an important decision which has
a wide bearing on labor and capital
alike. The Northwestern n Lumbermen's g
association has rule providing that no
member shall sell goods at any place at
prices lower than these OF the retail
dealers. The Bohr Manufacturing COM
pany, one of it's members, was accused
Of violating the rule and was notified by
Secretary Hollis that circular OF warn
ing OF the fact would be sent to all the
members. The Bohn company secured
an injunction restraining the secretary,
on the ground that such boycott would
seriously injure their business.
The lower courts order was today re-
versed by the supreme court, on the
ground that the Bohn company, being
member of the association, should have
conformed to its rules. The supreme
court holds that anyone, unless under
contract obligation, or unless his en-
ployment charges him with some public
duty, has right to refuse to work for
or deal with any man or class OF mem
he sees fit, and this right, which one
man may exercise singly, any number
of men may exercise jointly.
In the opinion, which is very lengthy,
Judge Mitchell reviews, the history Of
the case and says it presents one phase Of
the subject which will likely be one
of the most important and difficult
which will confront the courts during
the next quarter of a century. "This is
the age of associations and labor
unions," he continues. confined to
their proper limits they are not only
lawf1l but laudable. Carried beyond
these limits, they are liable to become
dangerous agencies for wrong and op-
preston. Beyond what limits these
combinations cannot go without inter-
fering with the legal rights of others is
problem which the courts will be
doubtless frequently called to pass
upon.D

Effect on a Man and Wife.

H1LLsBoRo, ILL.,, July 20. = Jacob
Kaberick and wife, living four miles
south, got up from bed last night to in
vestigate noise in the house and found
man crouching in hiding place. Then
began a battle. The burglar finding
himself getting the worst of the fight,
used both blunt instruments and knife
upon his victims, cutting Kaberick in
several places on the breast and knock
ing him senseless with blow
on the side of the head that
crushed his skull. Mrs. Kaberick con-
tinued the fight and Was slashed with
the knife in dozen different places, the
most serious being cut across and into
the abdomen that may cause death.

dition. The burglar had nerve enough

failed to find about $1,000 which was left
behind in a feather bed in the house.
