Terre Haute holding a captured freight
train in which they propose to ride to

Interfere until the company issues war
rants
Sheriff Stout has been appealed to
and gave the same answer The men are
peaceable, but do not propose to leave
the train on which they came from Fon-
talne. At Fontaine, few miles from
Ierre Haute, 800 miners have gathered
about the coal chutes and refuse to al
low freight engines to take coal. Pass
enger trains are not molested and pass
on through. No freights have gone
through, however, since last night.
Supt. n eel has wired that if the men
ara taken to Pana there will be blood
shed and rather than move the men all
the trains will be abandoned. The situ-
alton is considered critical and if the
roads attempt to have warrants issued
there will undoubtedly be trouble.
President Dunkerly has wired Presi-
dent Mcbride of the national order for
advice and states the men will be gov
erned by his advice.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING
Gsneral Scarcity of Information What
Shall BE Done With Sanders.

GENERAL Scarcity of Information on What
Shall Be Done With Sanders.
| Sanders army is still held at Leaven-
worth by the United States authorities.
Capt Joe Waters said today in speak
ing of the matter: II think we will ac-
cept Perry's proposition to let the men
go on their recOgnizance. We have done
nothing yet, and we cannot tell what we
will do until Sanders goes to Leaven-
worth to consult with his men, l do not
know when they will leave. They
have not bought the steam boat
belle of Brownville,' and can
not just now. Sanders expects
contributions from Kansas City, aud he
will try to raise some money. The Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has done nothing
yet toward buying the boat 1 do not
think-the damage suits will be brought
against the road''
General Sanders said: 81 do not know
what will be done. l understand Perry
has made proposition to release all the
men except myself and the engineer and
fireman, and l think we will accept l
/ expect to have 500 men in my COM
mand. l have just received word that
seventy men from Denver, who are at
Seneca, Kansas, will join us, and we eX-
pect company from here"
United States Commissioner E. A.
Wagener said: Il think the men will not
be released. l do not believe Perry has
consented to the release of the men on
tneIr own recOgnlZanco. lie O1fereQ TO
do that at the preliminary hearing, but
they wouldn't accept then, and do not
believe they will be given chance to
accept now. l am satisfied that Perry is
in favor of holding all the men,"
There will be meeting at the Popu-
list league rooms tonight, to complete
the organization of the Topeka company.
General j. s. Sanders was very much
excited when he heard of the battle at
Victor between the miners and deputies
Il expected it." said he, II knew it
was only question of time when this
thing would come. The union men are
determined, and are we'll armed with
! Winchesters, shot guns and revolvers-
| They will fight until they are extermin-
ed or until the deputies surrender.
What caused this striker" asked the
reporter.
"The trouble was caused by a dispute
over wages. The men demanded So
day for nine hours work or $2.75 for
eight hours. The largest mine owner. a
man named StrattOn agreed to pay the
wages asked and some others did also,
and the men went to work.
This trouble is in the district court
where only gold is mined.
"The men with me- continued the
general. s'are nearly all from the silver
districts. They came to Cripple Creek
to get work but found the strike on and
refused to take the place of the strikers
for they are all union men,"

CLEARED THE RAILROAD.
PopulIse investigation Finds the Santa
Fe Obeying the Law.

PoPuIIst InvsstIgation Finds the Santa
Fe Obeying the Law.
There has been more or less complaint
that the Santa Fe railroad company ope-
rated coal mines in connection with its
railroad business and dealt in coal This
would be a violation of the law, and last
fall the governor at the request of the
miners, ordered NJ. b. Nicholson to make
an investigation. He did SO. and re-
ported no infringement of the law.
Recently the investigation was re-
opened and the charge was made that
the Santa Fe railroad company bought
the output of the penitentiary mines and
that the coal was sold by the railroad
company.
Again Nicholson was asked to make
an investigation and he makes the fol-
May e5th. 1894
Hon. John T. Little. Attorney General:
DEAR SIR:-As requested by yourself
and the governor | went to Lansing and
investigated the charge that the out
to the A. I. & ). f. company for com
mercial purposes and that said company
is selling the product of said mine in
violation of the laws of the state.
Through the courtesy of the warden
and clerk of the penitentiary the records
of the prison were put at my disposal,
and every assistance given me to fully
investigate the matter.
l found that during the year 1895. Mr..
0. S. Hiatt had the control, under
contract with the state, of all the
product of the mine, except tae
quantity necessary for the state pur-
poses, and 1 further found that AlK.
Hiatt has contract with the Atchison
road to take of his hands all of said coal
which he could not dispose of elsewhere.
Under the contract with the state, Mr..
Hiatt received from June 1st 1898, to
May oath, 1894, both days in
elusive, 1887 cars of coal of
which he delivered or had con-
signed to the A. T. & s. f. Co., 656 cars
and 931 to other consignees The most
of the coal for the Santa Fe road went
to Argentine, some to Lexington juno
tion, some to Atchison, and one or two
cars to Leavenworth- 1t seems to
me from all can learn that
the railroad used all this coal for
fuel in operating its road and that the
transaction is legitimate and legal and
furnishes no ground for complaint or in
reference on the part of the state.
Very respectfully submitted,
NJ H. NICHOLSON.

Tracey of New York, who has been most
active in defeating Bland's silver moves,
says all chance of free coinage meas
ure at ratio of 16 to 1 is at an end, in
the present congress. Mr.. Tracey joins
issue with Mr.. Bland in the latter's state
ment that the recent Missouri convention
endorsed free coinage at Is to 1.
On this point Mr.. Tracey says:
'Mr. Bland was given a royal recep-
ton at his state convention and / am glad
of it, but he was also given a platform
that he must realize better than most
men, ends all chance of free coinage be-
ing adopted at 16 to 1 with silver selling

A BIG FIZZLE.
The UnemPIoyed's March the Mayor
Falls for Lack of Leadership.

The UnempIoyed's March on the Mayor
Fails for Lack of Leadership.
The local army of unemployed did not
march upon Mayor Harrison this after
noon to demand work, as their pro-
gramme announced it would. Somehow
everything seemed to go wrong. In the
first place the Trades Assembly hall
was the place announced for the meeting,
but the assembly at its session last
night decided that the Coxeyites couldn't
meet there without helping to pay rent.
So the Populist league room was the
place of meeting. The thirty-two men
who have signed to join Sanders army
were there, and also about a dozen 9TH
ers, notable among whom were General
Sanders, II. II. Artz, and Captain E. S.
Hunter.
Nobody seemed to know what they
were there for. General Sanders
denied that the mayor made the
remarks generally credited to him, that
there was work in Topeka for all the un-
employed. So the men decided it was
no use, even as a 1ormalIty, to go to the
mayor for work.
The proba abilities are that the local
company will leave Topeka to join San
ders' army at Leavenworth Monday
night or Tuesday morning. The
matter of their transportation to
question at present. They can get moth
ing cheaper than the regular rate of
S167, which for 80 or more Coxeyites,
sums up to not less than S5344.
1t is proposed to call big mass meet
ing for the purpose of raising this money
at the court house next Monday night.
General Sanders expected to start
down the river for Kansas City
Monday morning, but sees now
that he can't go before Tuesday.
His boat is the old "Belle of Brown
vilIe'' which is being given fresh coat
of white paint and christened ''The
Commonwealer," probably to distinguish
her from the numerous side-wheelers
and other sswheelers'' on the river.
At 3 O'Clock speeches were commenced
at the Coxey meeting. General Sand
ers made short talk. He was followed
by General Artz, who said among
other things: 81 am law abiding citi-
zen but - the laws. The end of 80
days may find me in Washington. for l
am in this movement soul and body"

They have made no violent demonstra-

from the mines, they will certainly be
subjected to great pressure to induce
them to reconsider their determination
