Prices OF products still tend downward
without much specul alton.
While the iron industry, especially,
and many others 10 some extent, have
been restricted by scarcity OF coal and
coke, the number OF works resuming
has been greater than the number stop
ping from other causes. But IL is a
symptom not 70 be overlooked that the
demand for manufactured products, in
stead of increasing, appears for the
moment rather smaller than before, and
indifference in buyers is shown in can
collation. OF orders hithertofOre given.
10 is q waiting season, but the diSpOSi-
tlon TO wait is this year much more in-
tensifed.
Failures diminish in importance, the
amount Of liabilities for the third week

three weeks $3.50, 972, of which So, 642,

About three o'clock to-day Governor
McCoEkle received a telegram from the
operatorsa at Mason City, stating that
the striking miners from the PomerOy
district were marching on the mines,

Strikers Drop Hundred Pounds Of

CRIPPLE CREEK, CoLo., Nav eS.-
Eleven men killed, with . strong prob
ability that the number OF dead VIII De
Increased when all is known, Is the rec
ord Of the first day Of troubls here,
although real f sighting has not yet begun
as the deputies are awaiting reinforce
meuts before beginning active opera
tioEs.
AT eleven o'clock this morning eleven
started TO work In the Strong mine on
Battle mountain. Shortly Afterwards
a large party OF strikers blew up the
shaft house with powder, causing a loss
OF sos, 900 and then dropped 100 pounds
OF giant powder down the shaft which
was also exploded, killing all the
inmates.
Not more than 800 yards from the
Strong shaft house sixteen men who
had been engaged to 90 to work 10 tho
Independence mine were surrounded In
their bunk house and after long par
lev agreed 10 surrender. Each one was.
armed with rife and brace OF revolt

POSSESSION OF THE STRIKERS.
1t reported that the strikers at
tackled the Auna Lee mine, overpower-
ing the guards. after which they blew
up the shaft house, but the rumor has
not been verified.
When the deputies are finally massed
and the two forces come together
most desperate battle will doubtless DO

The situation at o'clock tonight Is
one OF the most painful anxiety. Nota
few believe the town will be asmaulder-

THE TARIFF BILL

Over the acknowledgements Wilson Has
Several PosOffcss in His DiS!ric. That Are
Causing Him Worry.

Special Telegram TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-D@-
ing Representative Wilson's long ao-
sence on account Of illness, number OF
postoffice contests in mis- district re-
mained unsettled and are so still.|These
include both Presidential and fourth
class Offices, notable among the former
being Keyser and Morgantown. Mr..
Wilson's friends and lieutenaHts In his
district are now very anxious that he
should settle these cases, as the longer
they remail. open the moro ill-feeling
is stirred up among the different candi-
dates and their hackers. 1t was partly
on this mission that Capt. j. I. Van
Meter OF Hardy county, ex-senator
'Chas. Williams Of Grant and Collector
of Internal Revenue Gilkeson came
here yesterday.
THEY SAW Mr.. WILSON
and urged him to make his recommen-
dations for the various postmastershlps
in their respective regions without de-
Law aud it is probable he will take action
at once. The contest at Keyser has
given Mr.. Wilson more worry than any
other one that has arisen In his dis
tric.. There are four candidates for
the postmastsrship, all good Democrats
and competent men, and the Congress
man finds it hard to decide between
them. They are jeremiah Chadwick,
Frank Keys, the hotel keeper, Thomas
P. Douglass, editor of the Keyser Tribune
and w. b. Fisher, ex-county assessor.
Mr.. WILSON HAS ENDEAvoRED
TO have them settle the contest among
themselves, but they have been unable
TO do so. 1t is likely the congressman
will take the bull by the horns In few
days and recommend one OF the four
gentleman named for appointment as
postmaster.
Ex. Senator Henry G.. Davis is again
on one OF his frequent visits to Wash
ington. He was renewing old acquaiat-
ances on the floor OF the Senate to-day.
To number Of West Virginians, who
called on him yesterday, Senator Cam.
den predicted that the tariff bill would
be passed within the next
TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS.
He was very jubiIant over the situation
and seemed to feel that the fight was
practically over.

wants Lead Ore On the Free List, but
wants More TO Embarrass the Finance
Committee.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Hill
has notified Senator Dubois that he In
tends to move to put lead on the free
list and will attack the position OF the
Senate Finance Committee in levying a
duty of three-fourths OF a cent per
pound on that article. Senator Hill
says that in the last Congress the House,
overwhelmingly Democratic, passed
bill for free lead ore, and yet the Senate
committee diSregards this and places
duty upon the ore. Some OF Nthe MEM
bers Of the Finance Committee In talk
ing of the matter say they know that
the intention Of the New York Senator
Is 20 place them in q position OF emoar-
rassment. Senators Dubois and Teller
consulted with members Of the Finance
Committee and assured them they would
defeat the duty on lead ore.

torn down and destroyed last night by
some members Of the Queens Own

fluence of liquor. Lieut.. Col. Smith,
ID. G., apologized to the United States
Consul, Mr.. Willis, but Mr.. Willis would
not accept the apology and notified the
heads OF his department at Washington

too much whisky and is generally de-
plored by the citizens.
