tracts; TO authorize the clerk of the Court of
Appeals of the District OF Columbia to ap-
point an assistant at a salary of s. 600 per

Beside Mr.. Wilson this morning sat a
keen-looking man, who had not been seen
In court before. There was an impression
that he might be a "chirography sharp"
especially as he was in consultation with
Mr.. Wilson and evidently giving him points
for questions.
In answer to questions Mr. Hay said that
he relied upon the general appearance and
on the specific characteristics Of handwrit-
Ing In judging Of its authorship. The latter
ne regarded as the more important, how
ever. With the aid of the black board and a
piece of chalk the witness wrote a number
OF letters to show what he meant by spe-
cifc characteristics. Mr.. Hay said that by
the general character Of a writing he meant
the tout ensemble"
Mr.. Wilson made him put this in plain
English
In the work before him-the comparison
OF the two letters in the case-Mr Hay said
there was marked resemblance in the gen.
eral appearance of the two and after con-
siderinS this he would go to work on the
specific characteristics Of the two.

that he had testified before a congressional
committee as to the authorship of an
anonymous letter which was sent to Mr.
Springer Of Illinois. offering him s., 900 to

he had done so.

their stocks being almost entirely de.
stroyed and the building gutted. The
five-story building occupied by Miller &;
Coat, wholesale dry goods, and Skinner,
LIE Blanc & Co., millinery, was partially
burned, and the stocks of its occupants
were almost ruined by smoke and
water. From here the fire worked its
way to the four.story stone warehouse

of dry goods in the city. The block was

PORTLAND's GREAT PERIL.
The Flood in the Columbia Con-
tinueS to Rise,

PORTLAND. Or, June 3.-This has
been busy day in Portland. All day
long merchants in the flooded districts
have been at work moving out goods or
raising them on platforms above the
water. The river continues to expand
every hour, and the situation becomes
more periIous. The weather has be-
come cooler here. but no reports could
be had from Eastern Oregon and
Washington. the source of all the
flood. Telegraph wires north and east
are down. and it is impossible to obtain
any news of the situation along the
Columbia river. The river here is
thlrtY-One feet above low water, and
every twenty-four hours ADDS to it
from eight to twelve inches. Three
fOurths of the wholesale district is
under water from two to ten feet, and
the water is fast encroaching upon the
best part of the retail district.
Hundreds of small houses on the fats
are surrounded by water up to the
second story and have begun to turn
over. A further rise of foot will take
them out. Many merchants are unable
to get lumber with which to build plat
forms to keep their goods above water.
Every available boat i'll the city has
been hired, and boatmen receive from
81 to ST per hour for their services. The
Western Union Telegraph companv's
water. On the west side of the river
the water extends almost to Washing
ton street, within one block of the
OregOnian building, on Sixth and Alder
streets. This evening the water reached
the first floor of Lipman & Wolff's, the
largest drysgoouS store in tile city. On.
the East side many of the elevated road
ways leading to theriver are submerged,
and the Madison street bridge, at the
south end of the city. is the oplv bridge
open to traffic. A rise OF SIX inches
more will shut off the gas supply of the
city. The union depot is two feet under
water. and the Union Pacific car shops
in Albina are surrounded by five feet.
The Southern Pacific is the only rail-
road running trains into Portland, and
they are compelled to stop at the south
end of the city, being unable to reach
either depot. The Union Pacific is
hopelessly tied up, both by rail and by
boat.
The Northern Pacific takes regular
trips With tie transfer boat, Tacoma,
between this city anu. Kelso, Wash. 1t
is learned from persons arriving here
by boat that the storm last night did
much damage along the Northern Pa
cifc between Kalma and Tacoma.
Houses and trees were blown down, and
at Centralia much damage is said to
have been done. In this city a
hard rain Iell most of the day.
The flood will interfere with
the election tomorrow, as many
of the polling places are under
water. No estimate of damage by the
flood is possible. but it will be il meeting
appalling when reports FROM the upper
and lower river are received. The
Dalies, a town of 1000 Inhabitants, can
not be reached by wire, but it is known
from the hight of the water that nearly
all the business portion of the town is
under water. There is strong current
in the Columbia at that point, and great
damage has certainly resulted.

late last night. not casualty took place
yesterday at Como, or going or coming.
The experience of yesterday Indicates
strongly that if Mr.. Lowry desires to
meet the demands of the city in the
direction of Como he will have to add
another line or two to the PARK. Several
prominent persons suggested yesterday
that line should be run on Dale street
from Selby avenue to Como avenue,
thence OH tho regular line to the park.
Mr.. Lowry has four lines leading from
Minneapolis to Lake Harriet, yet, as
stated by parties who visited both Como
aud Harriet yesterday afternoon. there
were rather more people at Como than
at Harriet. Dale street has an excellent
bridge crossing the Great Northern
right Of way, hence all that remains to
be done is to lay the tracks and string
the wires.
1t is evident that st. Paul people are
as fond of park pleasures as Minneap-
oils people. and that they will continue

ITS BACKBONE BROKEN.
The Hoosier strike Will Soon Be
Over

oVeF.
CANNELsBURG. Ind, June 3.-Via
Clarks. Ind. June Sit is apparent to-
night that the backbone of the strike
has been broken. The militia have
done the work. The Washington min
ers deserted their colleagues here, and
the Cannelsburg men are too few to do
anything but submit. The militia met
no resistance. Scouting parties this
afternoon secured the surrounding
country. They failed to find any large
number of men congregated. 1T appears
that the miners from Washington took
prominent part in the destruction of
property on Friday night, and returned
to their homes. Adjt. Gen. Robbins and
Col. Ross held another conference with
the officers of the miners unions this
afternoon. l. N. Cassidy and George
w. Purcell, of the state executive
board. pledged their support of the law
and their purpose to Influence all min
erS adjacent to this place to prevent
any further interference with the
movement of trains. The adjutant gen.
erai expressed the intention, after the
conference, of sending the troops home.
Sheriff Icing and deputies conveyed
the three prisoners to the Washington
Jail at about O'clock. Judge Heffron
consented to give the three men their
release on bail in the sum of $1,000
each, which was given. The miners
threatened violence if bail had not been
granted. Judge Heffron granted the
petition because the Offense was baila-
bic and the security was ample. 1t ap-

WAITE REFUSES TROOPS.
Co!crado's Governor Not Inclined
to DO Anything.


DENVER, Col, June 3.-When Gov.
Waite made his profane reply to
Sheriff Bowers request for troops at
Colorado Springs last night all hope of
receiving aid from the militia was about
given up. The days developments
but strengthened the impression that
no aid will be received from the gov
ernor. Gov. Waite, Mr.. Lorenzie, bis
private secretary, John Calderwood,
president of the Miners union, left
Colorado Springs for this city at 1890
O'Clock and arrived here about 80 this
morning. Gov. Waite and Lorenzie
Immediately went into conference with
the governors advisers. Calderwood
went where no one but Gov.
Waite and LoreDzie can find him.
Sheriff Bowers followed Gov. Waite to
Denver on the next train. Today he
made another appeal to the governor for
troops. but SO far the demand has proved
Intellectual. Sheriff Bowers then start
ed in search of Calderwood. to arrest
him, but failed to find him. Lorenzie
refused to say anything about Calder
woods whereabouts until he had had a
talk with the governor. The two went
to the governor, who not only refused
to state Calderwo0d's whereabouts, but
instructed LOrenZie to say nothing.
Gen. McCook. located at Fort Logan,
has prepared himself for caii,and is in
readiness. though how he can be called
upon is mystery. 1t is thought the
mine owners have some scheme on foot.

made a march and surrounded the tram.
They came in through the crowd OF
miners and citizens who were there,
then surrounded the coal train. No
demonstrations were made by the few
miners who were present. One old lady.
with pistol under her apron, marched
out. ready for action against the militia,
was caught and scuffied with by Sheriff
Mills until he secured the gun. She was
willing to do what she was asked 10 do
after she had lost her gun. This be-
ing the only thing out of the way
done by any one, and as soon as the
trainmen could get the train in shape,
which took them nearly an hour, the
track was again cleared and the coal
train started out with the coal. The
miners had each car branded "scab
coal"
The miners made threats that this did
not mean much to them, and that the
Evansville Il Terre Haute should not
ship coal unless they kept a standing
army at Shelburn all the time. and
claiming that no more coal should pass
through there until this was settled.

families from starvation. As soon as
the miners OH guard heard of the militia
at Sullivan they began firing all anvil to
let the outside miners know what was
coming, but they did not get the ex-
pected help. Several hundred people
gathered to see the battle between the
miners and the militia. After the mill
tia had finished their work they came
back to Sullivan and went into camp at
the fair grounds with only one man in
the hospital. He accidentally dropped
his revolver and, striking the hammer
against something, it went off, shooting
him in the foot. Sheriff Mills left Shell
burn, going on to Aluma Cave. and de-
manding the coal the miners had side
tracked. They gave it up without much
difficulty. Tie militia is here awaiting
further orders from the sheriff.

Miners at Cripple Creek Prepar-
ing for the Worst.

u1iHeES III SFlpDIe SFeeh Prepare
ing for the Worst.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, June 3.-All
day long the striking miners have been
on the alert, expecting every moment
some of Sheriff Bowers deputies would
put in an appearance in some portion of
the camp. Not single miner is working
in the camp. One shift was put in on
Moose, Eikton, Prince Albert, Gold
Dollar, 1ngham, Jack q ana few other
properties. The managers of the sew
eral mines were Informed at noon that
it would be impossible to run any of
the properties tonight. The men
are now confident they will be
attacked some time tomorrow, and
that the hour may be directly after
midnight. Today the strikers made
their last forage for arms, ammunition
aud supplies. Fearing siege they
have filled hundreds of beer kegs with
water and stored them in the fort. The
towns of Wet II, Anaconda, Mound City
and other places are in the possession of
squads of armed strikers. The pl an of
the strikers is to meet the deputies and
make as strong stand as possible, and,
If necessary, retreat to Bull Hill,
where desperate stand will he
made. The deputies will be commanded
in the field by W. J. Palmer. The min
ers today hailed with delight the words
of Gov. Waite in response TO Sheriff
Bowers demand for troops, and they
now look forward to battle. the end of
which will be for them either victory or
determination. Open threats against
Colorado Springs are made as result
of the treatment of Gov. Waite and
John Calderwood. 1t isexpecIed Dep.
MY United States Marshals Wise and
Brown will soon arrive in camp to serve
summons on the officers of the union to
appear in ST. LOUIS in the court of ap-
peals. They will offer no resistance,
as they fear federal authority.
II. X. Woods, president of the Woods
Investment company, was taken in
charge at O'Clock by large body of
miners and carried up to the fort on
Bull hill. His wife was present when
he was taken, and is almost frantic.
The men told her that she need not
worry. as they would return Mr.. Woods
in the morning. Business men here
look into each others faces and see
nothing but dread and fear. The cause

New YORK. June 3.--Worth $4,000.
John Lane, who had been private in

Ing the war, died at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning at his home on West Thirty
fifth street. The Rev. Father Gibney,
of st. MichaePs church, had just ad-
ministered extreme JUNCTION. Grouped
about the bedside of the dying man
were his two sons-Michael, aged 81,
and Daniel, aged 2S-his daughter and
her sixteen-year-old son, and several
neighbors. The solemn rite had scarcely
been finished before Daniel began a
dispute over the question of Inheritance
with his brother. The old man was in
the last agonies, but made feeble
gesture for Daniel to stop. The younger
son continued to talk until Michael tried
to lead him from the bedside. Daniel
then knocked Michael down. The two
struggled, and finally Michael subducd
his powerful brother. He pinned him
to the floor. A lfeighbor hurried for a
policeman. and as Daniel was taken
from the bed-chambcr to the Jail the old
man died. In the Jefferson market
police court this morning Daniel Lane
was fined $40.
