A PECULIAR SITUATION
Outlined by a Correspondent in
Colorado.

SOtoIduos
DENVER, May 27.-Ever since it be-
came known that Gov. Waite intended
to call out the troops the citizens here
have been trying to solve the peculiar
situation. The situation is substantially
as follows: a body of miners strike for
shorter days and more pay. The
strikers arm themselves, construct
Notifications. assault non-unlon men
lin some cases taking lite), ana
bring into the region large quanti-
ties of ammunition. The mine owners
finally decided to resume work on their
properties, and believing their en-
ployes will need protection. call upon
the sheriff. The sheriff. being cogni-
Zent Of tue preparations made by the
strikers, Swears III number of depu-
ties, many OF whom reside in adjoining
counties, supplies them with arms, and
assemblies them near the scene of the
strike. Gov. Waite is aware of the
state Of affairs. He has not been called
upon for aid by the sheritfs
of the counties in which the
troubles exist. but issues proc
lamation calling on tie people to lay
down their arms and disperse, and calls
out the militia to enforce the proclama-
ton. Good legal authorities have given
opinions both for and against the stand
the governor has taken.
The charge is not openly made, but
there are many people who feel,in view
of the governors expressed sympathy
with the strikers, that it was the gov
ernor's desire to disperse the deputies
only, although the proclamation called
upon all men to lay down their arms
and disperse. The issue of this strike is
thought to be of the>greatest Importance.
There is feeling that if the strikers
win the other gold and silver mining
camps will Immediately be the scene of
trouble, although in many of them
there is no evidence OF dissatisfaction.
Some papers, which in the past have
supported Gov. Waite, today express
the opinion that the governor has no
right to call out the militia except in
aid of the civil authorities, as military
power should be second to the civil
power. 1t is thought this accounts for
the recall of the military order.

IMPREGNABLE BULL HILL.
4 Remarkable Position Selected
by the Miners.

CRIPPLE CREEK. COL, May 27.-It is
questionable if an old campaigner could
have selected stronger position than
that chosen by the miners ON Bull hill.
Bull hill is quite lofty peak. The sides
of the mountain are very precipltous to
within short distance of the top, where
they are perpendicular. The top of
this mountain is perfectly level, and
here it is that the fort has been con.
structed. From this point the entire
valley can be seen, and also the sur
rounding mountain. 1t is utterly i'm
possible for body of men to approach
it from any direction and escape obser-
yation. SO difficult is the approach
that 10 boay of men could hope to scale
the mountain aud displace the occu-
pants of the forts uuless many times
greater than the party of defenders, and
then only with great slaughter and with
a display of desperate courage.
Immediately beneath the fort is the
Victor mine. where it can easily be
fired upon. In the valley and on the
sides Of adjacent mountains are the
towns of Victor. Altman and Buena
Vista, and the Strong. Anna Lee and
Independence mines, all within reach
of modern artillery. The fort is we'll
supplied with food and ammunition, and
the only thing that would weaken a
long siege is lack of water. Whether
the strikers have artillery or not is not
yet definitely known. From this strong
hold the strikers, each of whom is
heavily armed, watch every iuch of
ground within the range OF vision and 90
forth i'll squads to guard all passes
aud run from the region all persons
who are distasteful TO them or who
act i n suspicious manner. They be-
lieve they are fighting for their rights
and Shirk no danger, and no member of
the regular army could De more impera-
tive In his demands to shoot down the
man who fails to comply with them.
While the fort is at all time guarded
by a force sufficiently large to hold it,
the scouting parties guard the passes,
and still there are enough to swarm all
over Bull hill and give an immediate
alarm of the approach of body of men
if. by any possibility, such body should
escape the vigilance of those in the
fort.

MAY ARBtTRATE,
Much More Cheerful Outlook in
Colorado.

Colorado.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Col, May 1.-THE
delegation from Colorado Springs, con-
sisting of DR.. Slocum, president Colo
RADIO college; a. r. Coils, president of
the trades assembly; A. r. Bales, presi-
dent, and Charles Geisster, secretary,
of the carpenters union; d. Fl. Hogan,
of the carpenters union, and Rev. E.
Evans Catrlngton, all of Colorado
Springs, came to the city this morning
with the hope that something might be
done to settle the controversy that has
arisen in connection with the strike.
The gentl emen reached this city at 9
O'Clock, and soon after left for Altman
for conference with the miners. They
were very courteously received by
President Calderwood aud other repre-
sentatives of the union. A con
ference was held, at which it
was stated that the delega-
ton, entirely of its own responsibility,
had come IN the interest of peace and
arbitration of all differences. After
very satisfactory conference all the
miners in the viciuity congregated
about the building in which the meet
ing was held, and DR.. Slocum addressed
them, stating the grounds upon which
arbitration could be brought. lie WAS
cordially received by the crowd and
loudly applauded. lie was followed by
hir. Carrington, who further explained
the reasons which had brought the del
egation. and then Mr.. Coils addressed
the audience.
A meeting Of the miners union has
been called for 10 O'Clock tomorrow
evening, and there is every reason for
thinking that committee will be ap-
pointed which will attempt to arbltrate
and settle the whole trouble. The
principle of arbitration is one of the
fundamental ideas of the union, and it
is now believed that an understanding
can be reached. In the meantime there
is to ba complete cessation of hOstiI-
tiles on all sides. Prisoners are to be
exchanged. and it is most earnestly
hoped that this unfortunate affair will
be settled and new era Of good feel
ing and prosperity brought to
the camp. Sdpt, Mcdonald ana
two Of his men are still
held as hostages at the fort on Ball hill.
An attempt was made this afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Len jackson, Mayor
Lindsay and Secretary Frank Wolfe, of
the miners union, to try and make ar.
rangements with the authorities at
Colorado Springs to have the men at
that place released. The miners prom
tcnI ff,ot ~ fhi.
at once have Supt. Mcdonald and his
men safely conducted to their homes

EAST ATCHISON'S DANGER.
THE MAD MISSOURI MAR SWEEP
AK1Y A TOWN.
CITIZENS REMOVING HOUSES.
The Raging Flood Encroaching
Upon the Tracks of Three
Railways "A Point of Land
Projecting Into the River Is
Cut Away, and the Town Is in
Danger of Destruction.

ATCHIsON, Kan, May 27.-During the
past forty-eight hours ending at 6
o'clock this evening the Missouri
river has risen nearly six feet. The rise
was rather sudden, and much damage Is
being done to property in the vicinity
of East Atchlson. During the past
twelve hours the stream has cut away
nearly 200 feet of adjoining land near
the town. and the work of destruction
continues. The town of East Atchison
has been protected heretofore by strip
of land known as the Point. and which
extended for several yards into the
river. This 'point" has been cut away,
however. and the main current Of the
stream strikes the town almost squarely
from the north. 1t will probably be
OILY a question of few hours until the
current has full sway at East Atchison
from this direction, and then no power
Cn earth can save the,place from being
swept away. Great excitement prevails
there, and great mahy people have
moved to this side of the river Tor
safety. Store buildings and houses
which stood in the north end of the viii
lage are being torn down or moved by
their owners. Probably as many as a
dozen buildings were moved today. and
the work will continue throughout the
night. Laborers and teams from this
city and from the country surrounding
East Atchison have been sent there to
assist the citizens in removing their
homes. Just north of East Atchison
there are three lines of railroad
paralleling each other-the Rock Island,
the Santa Fe and Hannibal & st.
Joseph. The river has encroached to
within less than thirty feet of the tracks
of these railways, and it is possible that
the railways will be compelled to stop
passing trains over them. Several days
ago large force OF men were put to
work by the railroad riprapping the
bank in an effort to stop The encroach-
Elent. This was stopped Saturday for
the reason that no bank could be Sc.
cured to continue the riprapping, and
also that the stream washed it out al
,.2st as last as it was placed there. 1t
is thought nothing can be done now to
prevent the cutting, and citizens are.
either preparing to leave the place or
standing idly by watching the river on
its mission Of destruction.
