THE HOMESTEAD RIOT.

Senate Committee AscSibes It to Em-
ployment Of PinkeFtons by Frick.
WARRINGTON CRY. Feb. 1O-Gallinger,
from the select committee appointed by
the senate to investigate and report to the
senate the facts in relation to the employ
ment for private purposes of armed bodies
of men or detectives in connection with
differences between workmen and en-
ployers, submitted the report of the COM
mittee today. The committee expresses
the opinion that if firms and corporations
would discontinue the employment of
armed men on the occasion of threatened
or existing strikes their interests would be
better subserved. The report continues:
1t strikes your committee that If Frick acted
upon the views laid down by Andrew Carnegie
in his article on 1.-THE Result OF Labor Troubles"
in the Forum magazine which. in . recent let
ter to the chairman Of this committee, Mr.. Car
negie affirmed, and had he further extended the
strike might heve been avoided. The commit.
tee declares the employment of private armed
guard at Homestead unnecessary, but at the
same time seems to find no excuse for the strik-
err themselves. Responsible laboring men
should learn the Lesson that they can not better
their condition BY violating the law or resisting
lawful Authority.
In conclusion the committee says the
investigation led it to conclude that the
fault was not wholly on one side; that the
middle ground seems to DO in the direc-
ton of arbitration. Without making any
recommendations. but pleading for arbi-
tration. the committee closes its report by
saying:
To this end We bespeak the cooperation Of all
patriotic citizens, and your committee will vel.
come any legislation which will tend to secure
to the laboring man every right, without de-
pciving employers Of theirs. for both are guar
anteed BY the constitution and laws of tho land

Adventure OF Daring Photographer at
the Foot Of snoquslmie Falls.
A. F. and d. r. Kinsey, Of Snoqualmie,
went below the Snoqualmie falls on
Wednesday for the purpose of photograph
ing that beautiful bit Of scenery and had
an adventure they will not soon forget.
They made the descent on the east side
about forty rods down the river
from the tails. where there is .
trail that. if carefully followed. will
lead to the disturbed waters 500
feet below. Some portions Of the winding
path are almost perpendicular. while other
parts lead around sheer precipices. Even
when the rocks and ground are perfectly
dry it is dangerous to travel. but when COW
cred with ice and snow decidedly so. The
first fifty feet of the trail could be fol.
lowed, but the balance of the way there
was no sign of any one ever having been
in the neighbo,hood before. There was
snow in abundance-in some places eight
and ten feet deep.
About half way down large drift on .
steep place gave way. and in . moment .
small avalanche was in rapid motion with
both men in the business part Of it. The
next 100 feet was made within an incred-
IDLY short time. Strange to say, neither
was hurt. but the camera box was badly
broken and would have Jared worse had it
not been carefully protected. The balance
OF the trip was made without any further
accidents. After an hour or so had been
spent repairing the camera, exposures
we're made which turned out very salts
factorily.

and systematize the transfer Of gold from
the banks to the government There was
no such meeting, but the banks were very
busy. Some customers wished to start
special gold accounts. deposits and
payments to 30 made either IN
gold or gold certificates. Other
depositors wished the assurance that they
could have gold on call. The banks could
not grant either request. saying
that under the rules of the clear
fng-house they were prohibited from
opening gold accounts, and as New York
banks generally loan money repayabie in
funds current at the clearing house they
expect to pay depositors in kind. 1t is
understood they will generally. take this
stand.
WARRINGTON CRY, Feb. 10.-Carlisle,
within the last few days, has given much
attention and study to the treasury affairs,
acquainting himself with the business
pending in the department which will
likely remain over for solution by the next
administration. The principal of these
questions is the recent heavy absorption
OF gold. He had . personal conference
with several prominent officials
in the treasury Office. They adj
mitted that all their theories
as to the cause of the outflow
Of gold had been dashed to the wall by re-
cent events. and said they stopped trying
to find out the reasons, and instead were
bending all their energies to keep intact
the gold reserve of 500, 900 900. Secretary
Foster expresses the opinion that the gold
output within the next few months will
not b 90 great ~ it has been. Some of the
treasury officials advance the opinion that
- the house refused to repeal the Sher-
man law, gold will cease to be exported,
on the theory that tho gold movement to
Europe was intended mainly to influence
legislation.

CLARK May Name the Man.
HELENA, Feb. 10.-[Special. 1-Senator
Sanders is out of it. The Republican
caucus last night decided to retire him az
its candidate and substitute for him
Mayor Lee Mantle, of Butte. In the Joint
session today all the Republicans except
four voted for Mantle. Two Republicans
and one Democrat voted for Sanders. one
Republican voted for Thomas Couch and
one for Clark. Davidson, the Democratic
member who has been so sick that his life
was several times despaired Of, voted for
senator for the first time today and voted
for Clark, the caucus nominee. The
Democratic split remains the same, the
Dixon boilers presenting an unbroken
front and the Clark regulars standing fast
for majority rule. Should it come about
that Dixon and Clark both withdraw it 10
a foregone conclusion that Clark will
name the candidate, but his friends insist
that he shall not withdraw until every
Democrat has voted for him, thus vindi-
eating the Democratic principle Of ma
iority rule.

John H. Bryant, president Of the Seattle

DISRUPTION OF ECONOMlTEs.
Pesnsylvanla WITH Try to Escheat tn
Property Uf the Society.

1OWooy1VoUSo Try 90 GSO00oG the
Property Ut the Society.
PIrTsBURe. Feb. l0.-An afternoon paper
is authority for the statement that the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania has
entered legal battle for possession Of the
immense wealth Of the Economic Society.
The matter il now in the hands Of the
state attorney general, and is being prose-
cuted by the ablest legal talent of the Al
legheny and Beaver county bar. Proceed
ings will be instituted at once and will be
far-reaching in all their results. If sue
cessful 1t will involve IN absolute sur
render of all the property of the Economic
Society and confscation BY the state. It
will be . proceeding in escheat. based on
the established precedent of eminent legal
authority, and an act Of the assembly for
bidding the conduct Of societies whose
principles are at variance with public
custom and against the lpirit Of the con-
stitution.
It is claimed that sufficient authority
has been obtained to disrupt the celebrated
community and turn its goods and chat
tells into the state treasury. The proceed
ings have no connection with the suit filed
in the Beaver county court today by
Feichts and other Economics asking for q
receiver to wind up the affairs of the
organization. On the contrary, two bat
ties will be fought on entirely different
lines. the issues being contrary and detri-
mental to each. other. The success of the
states case would necessarily mean q
failure of the prosecution on the behalf
of the malcontents of the society.
A bill praying for the appointment
of . receiver for the property of the
Harmony Society and an accounting
by the president. John Duss, was
filed at Beaver today. In addition to
alleging that much of the s. O0O, 900 worth
of property of the society has been lost
through fraud. negligence and the mis-
management of Duss and Trustee Sieber,
rendering the society insolvent. the bill
charges that they have been living in lux
ury with their wives. in contravention of
the main principles of the society, which
enjoins celibacy, while other members
have been obliged to exc out . precarious
existence: also that the board of elders is
composed of confirmed and common
drunkards. and that Duss sought to cast
discredit on the teachings of the society
by casting doubts on the story of
Christ, and by preaching the doctrines of
Cyrus iced, the koreshan disciple of Chi
cago, and "Prince Michael" Mills, of De-
troit, pretended Divine beings.
The bill also state the various losing ven
lures which Duss has entered into in the
name Of the society. he being in fact the
sole manager Of its affairs since the other
trustees were merely his tools. and that he
refused to render an accounting. This is
the first step in q holly contested battle.
The entering of this suit will surprise
Economics a. much as any one, for most
Of the members thought the trouble had

The Storm in Oregon.

PORTLAND, Feb. 1O.-fSpecial.l For the
first time in two weeks all trains coming
into this city are reported on time. Freight
is moving in all directions, and all roads
will soon be cleared. Superintendent Baxter
of the Union Pacific says the late storm in
the gorge Of the Columbia. which delayed
trains, was the worst he ever saw. Such .
wind and such fall Of snow was only
equalled by the bowling Nebraska bliz-
gard. Snow and sleet formed q solid mass
that even q rotary pillow could not
grind through. Some drifts were
twenty-five feet high. and the men had to
90 ahead of the rotary with picks and
crow bars to smash the crust and let il get
in. After the new rotary got through the
worst it came right through drifts from
eight to fifteen feet, making about four
miles an hour.
