state. The scheme is to build three
big irrigation bitches, and pay the en-
ployees their board, clothing and other
expenses and the balance of their
wages in Understanding bonds Sc
cured by lands along the bitches. Mr.
Dillman has two associates. J. NJ. Buck
ley, of Spokane, and H. H. Smith, of
this city. They have an option on
80, 900 acres of Northern Pacific railroad
land in central Washington, and pro-
pose that the chambers of commerce of
Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane shall
each appoint one person, the six making
board of directors to manage the
company's affairs. The company, if
organized, is to contract for the pur-
chase of these 10000 acres, and at once
sell enough on long installments. with
a small cash payment to lay in suf-
f1cient tools and provisions to keep the
men at work Mr.. Dillman says the
land is to be bought by the company
at a; very reasonable price. He thinks
the purchase is already assured. 1t

Washington, May 4.-Notwithstand-
ing the truce agreed upon between the
Democratic and Republican senators,
whereby it was arranged that HOSTILE
ties on the tariff should cease until
next Tuesday, there has not been a
day when there was holder talk and
stronger protestations on the respec-
tive sides of the chamber than today.
While the Republican senators have
allowed the Democrats to infer that
when the amendments are publicly an
nounced and the assurance of a vote
sufficient to pass the bill is given, they
will yield to the majority, they assert
privately that they know the necessary
votes cannot be obtained, and declare
the Democrats in the Senate are grad
ually approaching more serious trouble
than they have yet encountered; and in
making this statement they assert Sen
ators Murphy and Smith are as doubt
ful as is Senator Hill in the support of
the bill, as it is amended

DON'T LIKE THE DOCKING.
Congressman Squirm Under Their
New Experience.

Washington, May 4.-Congressional
salaries for the month of April became
due today, so members had their first
experience with the new procedure of
docking for absenteeism.
Up to last night, 213 members had
filed their certificates showing the num-
Der of days, if any, they had been alb
sent. Today about fifty certificates
were put in. leaving about one hun
bred unaccounted for The great ma
jority of the members certify that they
have not been absent at all, and the
most of them that certify to absence
limit the period to one or two days
At this rate, the total deductions viii
be small. The Congressman are show
ing an uneasiness in making out the
certificates as there is nothing behind
their word of honor to show how
many days they have been absent.
They feel reluctant to surrender a part
of their salary, and yet are bound in
honor to report the days for which the
deductions should be made.

THE RED RAG DISPLAYED.
Winchesters Seem to Be the Only
Peace Persuaders.

Peace Persuaders.
Connellsville, Pa, May 4.-The ac-
ton of the coke companies in arming
a large force of men in the Vanderbilt
region prevented riot there today.
The mob that closed down the Fort
Hill works yesterday remained in camp
all night preparing to attack Paul and
Nellie, but when they learned an army
of deputies was patrolling the works,
they concluded not to attack and dis
persed.
The strikers have a code of signals
by which they can be collected at any
point in the vicinity on short notice,
but the operators say they will keep
the deputies on guard as long as there
is any danger of violence.
The men at Fort Hill who were forced
out returned to work Immediately after
the mob had dispersed and are working
under protection of fifty Winchesters.
The formidable display of guns at
Meyer also discouraged the mob of
strikers there and they dispersed at
midnight.
At no time since the strike was in
augurated has violence been so inmi-
nent as now The wholesale evictions
10 be made and the resumption of the
The companies say they will start I'M
less the Rainey works are closed down
tomorrow. Rainey is securing all the
large contracts at handsome figures
and the other companies will not stand
idly by and see themselves ruled out of
the market. Two of the leading COM
panies announce they will start I'D all
their works, if in doing so they have
to deputize half their men and ask for
more protection from the state troops
A number of deputies were sent to
the Calumet works today. There is
every indication of trouble there, and
at Monmouth. Miners from Latrobe
and other places gathered there and are
camped on the hillside. During the
day they paraded to and fro past the
works at Monmouth.
The red flag was prominently dis
played and incendiary threats were
uttered.

CHEAP COAL FOR THE COAST.
1t Went Begging and Was Bought
For 81 Per Ton.

San Francisco, Cal, May 4-Twenty-
five hundred tons of coal from Tonquin,
recently. brought to this port by the
British ship Somali, were today bought
at auction by local coal broker for 81
per ton. The shipment of the coal to
San Francisco appears to have been a
most Improbable transaction. The
coal was taken by steamer from Ton
quin to Hong Kong at a cost of SO
per ton. From Hong Kong to San
Francisco on the Somali, the rate was
about 50 per ton and the duty 70 cents
Coal of this kind appears not to COM
mend itself to the San Francisco buyer
for it went begging for a purchaser for
several weeks, until finally it brought

Tonight White is in the miners hos
pital at Connellsville. The latest re-
ports are that he will die. Roddy was
brought to his home here. He is vom-

Two of the Poles shot in the melee are
pronounced to be in a very dangerous
condition and are likely to die.
Sixty-three rioters, among them

PEST AMONG CLOVER FIELDS.

Huntington, Pa, May A strange
green worm, measuring from ITO Il
an inch in length has lately made its
appearance in this county among the
fields of growing clover. They appear
in countless numbers and when once
they attack a clover field, they continue
in their destructive work until every
vestage of the blossom and leaves is
eaten up. No one here has yet been
able to determine their origin.

Motions for review and motions for
rehearings before the secretary must be
filed with the commissioner of the
general land office within thirty days
after notice of the decision complained
of, and will act as supersedeas of the
decision until otherwise directed by the

argument, the grounds uLon which it
is based. On receipt of such the
commissioner of the general land office

this department, where it will be treated
as Special If the motion does not
show proper grounds for review or re-
hearing, 1t will be denied and sent to
the file of the general land office,
Whereupon the commissioner will re-
sumo the suspension and move to ex-
ecute the judgment before rendered.
But if, upon examination, proper
grounds are shown, the motion will be

upon the opposite party, who will be
allowed thirty days in which to file
and serve an answer; after which no

Senator Jones has put in the entire
day in his committee room and has
had Senator Vest with him part of
the time. They have been engaged
principally on the wool and cotton
schedules, which it is believed are to
be still further changed than they have
been.
Senator Mills interested himself in
the schedules and there is little doubt
he will secure. more liberal concessions
than have been granted.
