The Striking Miners.

CRIPPLE CREEK, (Col) May 81
Owing to the washout on the Florence
and Cripple Creek railroad, Governor
Wait will be unable to reach Colo
ado Springs for conference with the
mineowners before night. It is
thought his mission will be fruit
less. The situation here is unchanged
to day.
SPRINGFIELD, Qll.), May 31.-Forty
operators, who were present at a
convention to-day of the southern and
central operators, would not go into
conference unless the consolidated
and larger operators did, being afraid
of being squeezed. A mass meeting
of the miners was held and the men
said they were ready to treat with the
operators.
The conference of the coal operat-
ors of Illinois, called to attempt a
settlement Of the strike, adjourned
sine die this afternoon, having accom-
plished nothing.
LEAvENwoRTH, May 31.-Nearly
onethird of the miners employed at
the North Lcavenworth shafts were
prevented from going to work to-day
by agitators, who blocked the main
road to the shaft. A company of
two hundred business men is being
organized by Mayor Codsworth who
will be at the shaft this evening and
tomorrow morning to prevent a re-
.currence of the outrage.

Portland still Flooded

PORTLAND, (Or.), May 31.-The Will
lamette river at this point now stands
twenty-nine feet above low water
mark. Advices from the upper Co
lumbia region to the United States
weather bureau are to the effect that
the water is at standstin. The
Union Pacific expects to establish a
river service to day between Portland
and Umatilla. On the Northern Pa
cific the transfer boat Tacoma, is
making regular trips, carrying trains
from this city to Kelso. But little
business is being transacted in this
City. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company has estab-
ished boat service between
their main Office, which is surround
ed by water, and their delivery and
receiving offices, which have been
moved to higher ground.

He says that dairying has commenced
in the Valley and that the grass crop
on the foothills is better this year

that grain is looking well.

THE WELSH "BIDDiNG."
An Old Country Custom Practiced In a Ne,
England Colony.

An Old Country Custom Practiced In a New
England Colony.
There is an interesting survival in
portions of New England of a very pc
culiar Welsh marriage custom of great
antiquity" said Clement Euclid, Of
Boston 1.-The Welsh are not of a
wandering or emigrating disposition,
but some few of them formed colonies
in some of our oldest states, and their
descendants have not forgotten the ira
ditions of old. The marriage custom
consists in sending out a number of
biddings to wedding, coupled with a
request for specified present. The re-
suit is the young couple in humble cir
stances can start housekeeping with
the certainty that their wedding gifts
will assume useful proportions. Every
gift is in reality loan, because the ac-
ceptance obligates the young couple to
respond to similar application from
each of the persons hidden or solicited.
In other words, this good old Welsh
custom amounts very much to a tax on
single blessedness, and also an insur-
ance, payable not on death but on mar
rage. In Welsh towns, where the
practice is general, it is most beneficial
in its results, and among the New En-
gland colony it is quite pleasant lit
tie diversion, even though the matri-
monial clubs are not very strong in
America. st. Louis Globe Democrat

reason of these officials failing to do
their duty in suppressing Joints" her
father has been a drunkard, and that
she has not been provided for as she
would have otherwise. The mother of

because the saloon men paid consider
able money for the privilege. The at
torney in the case says that the matter

BISHOP ". PERKINS. Frustrated Since
noon yesterday he had been uncon-
conscious, but it was not until yester-
day morning that any serious fears had
been entertained.
Several weeks ago Senator Perkins
left here to attend the republican state
convention at Topeka. Before his
death he explained that he had drank
too much ice water, and a trip to Okla
homa after the convention, where he
was called on legal business, served to
increase a slight dysentery he had ac-
quired in Topeka.
Last Thursday he returned from
Kansas to Washington, and spoke to
the members of his family about his
complaint, He did not regard it as
serious, and, although urged to call in
a physician, refused to do so. The
family physician was finally sum
moned, but it was too late.
