! TO ,PREVE STRIKE S
A PLAN PROPOSED ny CONGRESS-
MAN TANNEY OF MINNESOTA.
he Begins the Preparation of n Bill
Which Empowers United States
District Judges to Appoint Arbi-
traitors in Certain Cases. t7"..t.t .

Washington, May 23.-A compulsory
arbitration bill which >..ould accomplish
it's purpose with ,ut invading the rights
of the citizen has been sought for years.
Several attempts have been made in this
respect, and a law is now in the books
W hich is practically a dead letter be-
cause it lacks the power of enforcing
itself. Congressman Tawney of Mimic
sofa has begun the preparation of bill
which is regarded by persons to whom it
vas submitted as an effectual preventive
for great strikes. 1t was suggested by
recent developments in the Northwest
growing out of the trouble on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads.
Mr.. Tawney intends that the operation
of the law shall be through the United
States courts, although arbitrators ST.
lected by the interested parties, together
with those to be selected by the court,
perform the function of jurors. The
method is very simple and the operation
| of the law will be inexpensive. In case
| of interruption OF threatened interruption
of interstate railroad business through Il
strike either party to the controversy may
apply to the United States district court
to have the other party show cause why
the court should not appoint an arbitr;i-
ton board. If the matter is not con-
sidered very important the court may.
by the consent of both parties, decide
the case in controversy. But should
either party object to this a board of
five arbitrators is to be appointed, one
by each party in interest and three by
the court If either OF the persons
named by the court is Objectionable, to
either party he shall have the right to
challenge him, and if the reasons for the
objection are considered sound by the
court another shall be named. Of the
three arbitrator to be selected by the
court neither shall be railroad official OF
stakeholder. nor a railroad employee. tho
object being to compel the selection OF
three disinterested persons. These five
arbitra tors shall hear both sides, which
may be represented by counsel, and the
decision of the arbitrators, when filed
shall have the force and effect of a judg
mcnt of the court and may be executed
in the same manner as the judgment o.
other. order of the court.

,COXEYITES GET LEFT.
They steal Il train but do not secure
IL Ride.

Missoula, Mont, May 23.-As the east
bound fast freight was pulling out of
NoXOn, a little station near the Idaho
line, this morning, hundred members of
the Northwestern industrial army board
ed it and attempted to obtain control.
Before they reached the engine the en-
gineer cut loose from the train and start
ed east at 4 rapid rate. Maj. Carpenter,
who is at the state line with two COM
panies, was notified and special train
bore him to the scene, where the troops
soon dislodged the Coxeyites, who are
now camped near Noxon. There are q
hundred more just west of there. A
hundred and fifty more are coming east
from Spokane, and the men threaten to
steal another train as soon as the forces
join. The Idaho division is protected by
troops, but the Montana marshal has not
yet asked for military aid. On the
Occur d'Alene branch, near Iron Noun
tain, fifty Coxeyites climbed on a work
train and attempted to get possession.
The work crew repulsed them, however,
and the Coxeyites made no further at
tempt. Two companies of troops at
Fort Missoula have been ordered ready
to move and are now awaiting final
orders from st. Paul.

ANARCHISTS AGAIN PLOTTING.
Police of Paris Ci;aim to Have In
eartheG Another Conspiracy.

Paris, May 23.-The police of this city
have made a number of important az
rests. The authorities recently received
infc1 nation which led them to believe
that, in spite of the efforts made to sup
press anarchy, conspirators are still actu-
ally plotting series of bomb explosions
in various European cities. The first in
formation upon this subject is said to
have come from London, and to be the
result of the discovery made in connec-
ton with the arrest in that city Of the
two Italian anarchists, Farnara and
PoIti. AS result number of an
arckists belonging to an international so
ciety have been taken into custody. The
police are unwilling at present to give
full details in regard to the plots, but it
is known that the members of this So
ciety at their meetings drew lots as to
who should explode bombs in different
European cities. One of the prisoners
is said to have been connected with the
recent bomb outrages in Liege.

First Day of June.

They Sail From San Francisco the
First Day of June.
Washington, May 22.-The progress of
the party of seventeen Laplanders who
landed at New York city May u and are
now en- route for the Alaskan reindeer
station, is watched with considerable in
terest at the United States bureau of ed
ucation. The party, which reached Mad
!. ison, Wis, during the last week, are ex-
pected to leave in special car this
morning for San Francisco. There some
time will be spent in securing supplies,
and on June the seventeen Northerners
will leave on a specially chartered YES
sci for Port Clarence, Alaska, the loca-
ton of the main reindeer station, which
they expect to reach about the end of
June. The head of the party is A.
Kjelnsnn, the recently appointed super
intendent Of the Port Clarence station.
He was sent to Lapland by the interior
Experiment., and after travelling more
than 500 miles in that country made a
contract with five families to go to
Al; ska for three years and there manage
the herds of reindeer already brought
from Siberia as we'll as some yet to be
introduced. The oldest of the party is
sixty seven and the youngest four. The
head of each family will receive $3.50 a
year and subsistence for their services
and their passage to and from Alaska
guaranteed by the government.
st. Paul, May 22:-Sixteen Laplanders,
accompanied by twelve dogs, who are
on their way to Alaska, where they will
teach the natives in the use of reindeer,
passed through St. Paul last night on
their way to San Francisco. They are
a peculiar looking lot of people, and
while quite intelligent as far as things in
Lapland go, are as ignorant Of the world
in general as if they had dropped from
the moon. They were the center of at
traction at the depot during their stay
| in st, Paul.

Rapids, and when it was learned I was
missing the authorities supposed it was
my skeleton. 1t was found in July, 1885,
about ten days after I was there. 1t
was known that Van Nimmangs left
Vanwart with me- and he was accused
of the murder. He had gone to Iowa,
and was taken to Wecosta county, Mich,
where he was tried and found guilty in
the following October. The judge sen
fenced him to life Imprisonment in the
Michigan state prison at hard labor,
where he still is, hard at work, an limo

A NEW INDUSTRY.

German Co1onIsts to Engage In the
Growth of Flax and Hemp.
Max Aurel FRANKIE. one OF the foreign
commissioners to the worlds fair at
Chicago, is making his headquarters in
this city for the winter. Primarily he
came south for the benefit OF his health,
but he has O scheme in hand which Is
bound to result benefcially to the
southern counties.
He has been In com muuication with
his friends in Germany, and he has been
instructed to select suitable lands upon
which to settle 60 families VINO are com
ing out as a first installment OF colonists
who propose engaging in the fax and
hemp industry.
Mr.. FRANKIE is somewhat handicapped
in his research. for neither fax nor hemp
has been grown to any large extent
hitherto in Southern California aud the
requisites OF soil and climate will have
to be cloeely examined.
1t is curious to notice that while fax,
hemp and twine are now admitted TO
this country free, it ia merely the high
transportation charges that lie eausing
these foreigners to determine on coming
to this country and engage in an indus
try, the products of which were go
largely imported even under very high
protective tariff. Mr.. FRANKIE intends
visiting several OF the districts in the
southern country with view to e1am-
lining into their capabilities for the pur-
pose required, and is willing. also. to
enter into correspondence on the same
subiect.
