DENVER, Col. August 6.-Judge Riner, of
the United States circuit court, has entered
a decision by which Margaret Billings and
others. heretofore comparatively poor peo-
pie. are given $4,000 in money and a one
third interest. less one -forty-second, in the
Emma mine at Aspen.
The case has been IN the courts for some
time, and Judge Rner's decision is based on
the findings of a master in chancery. The
suit was brought against the Jerome B.
Wheeler Aspen Mining company by the
heirs of one Moods. on the groui4d that
Woods sold the property while in ignorance
of its real value. The defendants have given
notice of appeal.

a. R. Q. Men Ask Reinstatement

Committees representing strikers called
on the officials of the different railroads in
Cincinnati asking for reinstatement. The
movement IS the outgrowth of the recent
meetings of the American Railway union
and others who struck.
The men admitted their mistake in sym
pathetic striking and we're disposed TO drop
Debs and other leaders. President ingalls,
promised reply for the Big -Four system.
None of the other roads gave any assurance
TO the committee. There are about 800 ex-
perienced railroaders Idle here on account
of the strike.

the yard the train was stopped and the swarm
of boarders driven off. They got together
on the ground and with a rush en- masse
swept down the opposition and crowded into
the box cars. Then the train men, rein
forced by yard men, made a combined
charge and a regular battle ensued. The at
tacking party was met by a storm of stones.

commonwealers went down under the blows
from the miscellaneous weapons of the rail
readers, some of the army escaped. but
about 100 were beaten back into the cars
and were locked in. The train was run back
to town and the prisoners jailed. One of

New YORK, August 6.-R. G. Dun Weekly
Review of Trade says:
A change in the state of business is at
hand Congress will act on the tariff, one
way or the other, in all probability, within
a week. If it passes the pending bill, or if
it fails. in either case the definite basis of
future business will enable many to act who
are now waiting. Whether the one course
or the other will stimulate greater increase,
it is certain either would give relief from
present uncertainties and cause an increase
in business. So much business has been de-
ferred and merchandise stocks have been so
reduced IN the past year, that the near ap-
proach of decision. without certainty what
it IS, has encouraged large preparation for
increased business. In spite of outgoing
gold and sinking treasury reserves, small
railroad earnings. some injury to crops and
increased trouble in the coke regions, the
tone and the outlook are more hopeful.
In the injury to the crops by hot winds
and drought, if as great as some report, will
affect all interests, but at this season it is
never easy to distinguish between local and
and general damage.
Commercial liabilities thus far reported
during July amounted to S8.016,776, of
which $4,500,2-0 were of manufacturing and
S4. 231 40 of trading concerns, and the de-
crease for the month, although great in
com parison with last year, is hardly as
much as has been expected.
The failures of the week have been 295 in
the United States against 267 last year.

When whole communities are tcrrorized
by organized mobs, who set at defiance ali
law aud menace not only property but hu-
man life. II Is tho imperative duty OF con-
stituted authority to bring every resource TO
bear to crush the incipic mt rebellion.
Governor Altgeld of illinois would b false
to his trust and false 10 every idea Of law and
order IL he did not exert his full power as
chief magistrate to suppress the riotous and
insurrectionary uprisinrs which have taken
place In the mining regions of his state.
Many Of these desperate rioters have but
recently come to these shores. They were
born In lands whore despotic rule prevails
and whore workingmen have come TO look
upon every officer Of law as an enemy. These
newcomers are ignorant alike of our language
and oi our institutions. and no doubt "a Is to
this fact that their display of riotousness is
chiefly due.
But our authorities. elected by the people

the spirit of anarchy assert itself unchecked.

maintained, alike for the good OF ali would he

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.

carries its own lesson with it and there
iE no necessity for iutrudiug uruu OF
adding to the grief OF the bereaved
family or the anguish Of the friend who
was accidentally the cause Of the sad
affair by any moraliziDg upon
the danger that attaches to
carrying loaded weapons Of any
description. 1t was one of the most
shocking tragedies that the city has ever
witnessed and on every side were heard
expressions OF the deepest sympathy for
all concerned. 1t seems such an awful
thing, this cutting down in the full vigor
OF young manhood of life that appar-
emily had so much to accom-
plish ere it had rounded out its sphere
Of usefulness in this world. the abrupt
ending Of career that promised such
development, that comment Of any kind
Is superfuous.

In the opinion Of Mr.. II. II. Evans,
the statistician for the treasury, who
has performed all the statistical work
for the finance committee of the Senate
and Of the ways and means committee
of the House for the past twenty years,
the present tariff bill win pass the Sen
ate about the 10Th Of June. He calls
attention to the fact that the Walker
tariff Of 1S4o did not pass the Senate
until the 20.h Of July OF that year. The
Morrill, tariff, which was reported
to the house on the 18th Of March, 1850.
did rot pass the Senate until February
20, 1851. There was almost as great
delay on the tariff bill Of 1888, which
passed the House as early as juno 27,
1889, and the Senate not until February
20. 1883. The Mckinley tariff did not
receive the, approval OF the Senate until
September 10. 1890.
These figures are very interesting, but
hardly conclusiye. Take for example
the Mckinley bill. It was the McKin-
ley bill first, last and all the time. As
itcame from the House, 90 In substanee
it passed the Senate. 1t was essentially
the same bill from start to finish.
But the present tariff bill.
L. it the same bill that came from the
ways and means COMMITTEES?
Is II tho same bill the House sent to
the Senate? sSf.
Is it the same bill tho Senate finance
committee submitted to the Senate?
Is it even the same bill as submitted
after the 400 amendments had been
made?
10 Is not, and the bill az 1t Is now be-
fore the Senate is as different from the
bill the House considered AS daylight is
from darkness. 1s
The conditions surrounding the pre-
sent bill are entirely different from those
which ever surrounded any previons
bill, and as interesting as these figures
OF Mr.. Evans are. they do not apply to
the present conditions, and the passage
OF the bill by the Senate does not com
plete the necessary legislation on the bill
under the present circumstances.
On general principles tho date fixed
should see the legislation accomplished,
but II must be remembered that the
present bin does not represent any prln-
cple hence the rule will probably be
broken. The other tariff bills repre-
sented principles. The present ono does
not. Therein lies the difficulty in reck-
oning upon its passage. :,

Nova Scotia. II is soft coal
and thousands Of dollars that would
have gone into the pockets of the Ameri-
can miners will go to the development
OF Welsh and Nova Scotian mines.
While some little relief will thus be ex-
perienced by those short OF coal, yet
only in few instances can those in need
avail themselves of this method
because Of the expense attendant
upon supply from this source.
Even were coal on the free list the Welsh
coal would hardly r.. competitor on

will prove boon to the Nova Scotian

ANOTHER CASE OF SMALL FOX.

Another case of small pox has been
discovered just as the Board of Health
was congratulating itself that its
prompt efforts in stamping out the dis
ease had been successful. 1t behooves
every citizen to exercise the utmost care
and to see that the members Of his family
are duly protected by effective vaccina-
tion. There isn't any need for wild
alarm, or q silly scare, but there is need
Of prompt attention to the duty OF vac
cination on the part Of those
who are in need of it. The
source from which the present patient
obtained the disease was readily trace
able and this will largely aid the Board
of Health to treat those in danger of
infection with al the sanitary require
ments for tho prevention Of the spread
Of this contagious disease.

civil service commission is so organizes
that only the msmbers of one politica
party have any opportunity Of standing

Mr.. EnIoe added; "As bearing upor
that point. / understand that nearly al
the clerical force connected with ths
civil service commission are Repub-
licans, and they mark the papers and
pass upon the examinations Of candi-
dates" ~
"These statement" says Mr. Roosevelt,
amount to direct charge that the
commission discriminates against Demo-
Gratis and il guilty therefore of fraud and
misconduct" and he demands that the
committee Of the House on the reform
of the civil service make an investiga.
tion. 39
He shows that of the male clerks and
examiners at present with the commits
sion, including both the commissions
own force and the detailed force, 12 are
Democrats, 10 ARE Republicans, two are
Independents, three are Prohibitionists
and one is Popnlist Until the charges
Were made the commission had not
known the politics Of many Of the sub
ordinates at all, and of the others it
had known the politics only accidental
ly; but on reading this direct charge Of
partisanship the commission made In
qury into the matter.
He further points out what is apparent
even TO the most superficial observer
that most of thecommissions' examiners
are detailed to it from the departments.
The heads Of these departments are all
Democrats, and IL they saw fit could
detail to the Board none but Democrats.
SO that the commission is, as regards
these details, powerless to determine the
political complexion of the board.
He further declares that in not, one
single instance has the commission or
its board OF examiners ever discrimin-
ated for or against an eligible because
of his political or religious opinions or
affiliations, and any statement to the
contrary is deliberate and .willful un-
truth. The commissioner goes on to
deny specifically each allegation brought
against the commission and to invite
the most rigid investigation.
But his time Is wasted. 1t was not
