ALBANY, July 25.-The judiciary com mittee Of the constitutional convention gave an interesting hearing in the after noon on the proposition to abolish tho state board of claims and scnd the cases to the supreme court.
 A proposition in committee on corpora tions by Mir. Dickey declaring the sense of tho committee to be In opposition to any legislation partial to corporations was dropped like n hot Iron.

OMAHA, July 2j General Master Workman Sovereign was asked rcgarding his interest in the matter of militia com panies and said:
 Heretofore tho advice to workmen has been to keep out of the militia It should be changed. Every workingman should join the militia, thus getting the arms and discipline necessary to defend the country and the people from the anarch- ists, railroad managers, their trusts, at torncys and the murdcrous deputies and Pinkertons whom they employ.
 Il have been n member of the state mi litia for three years myself and know that the Knights of Labor arc the bcst militia. men in the country. l am also in favor of capturing the whole system of govern ment and operating the same in t:o int yr- ests of the people,"

the members or the Ncllman expedition have been saved by managing to get upon an ice foe, in which case they believe that tho explorers are in n most dangerous position, As they add that 1t Is most prob able that the Ragnvald Jarl was crushed without warning.
 Could Not Escape.
 Should the forebDdIngs of tho arctic shippers prove true, and if the Ragnvald Jarl was crushed without warning, 1t is probable that the members of the cxpedi- ton were unable to take any large quan- tity of supplies with them upon the ice foe, even suppOsing that they succccded in escaping thereto.
 When questioned in regard to the effect iveness of tho aluminium boats in such an emergency, the arctic captains expressed the belief that they would be of no use in such pack ice as was flowing this summer.
 MT. Fielden. tho owner of the yacht Saide, has received news of Professor Ovens distress from Captain Johannsen of the slonp Anna.
 Mir. Fieldcn instantly ordered the Saido to Danes island. and she reached that spot the next day, but only to be welcomed by the professors dog.
 Oven was found in his bed in an almost dying condition. He had given up all hopo of ever seeing tho face of human being again.
 Professor Oven Dying. Upon n table in the professor quarters was found n letter containing bitter rc- proaches against Wcllnan, whom hc ac- cuscd of having left him in the lurCh. wellman, according to Professor Oven, promised that n man should stay with him and share his frightful solitude. But l it appears at the last moment Wellman 1 decided that q man could not bc spared and so the professor had to bc content with the company of his dog. The Saidc also reported that Professor 1 Oven was so badly prOvisinned when he was found that his early death was n mat ter of certainty. But, in spite of his suf- ! fcrings and the certainty that death was l lowering over him, the professor refused ! to he taken of Dane's island. insisting upon remaining there, faithful tO his trust, even though death was the rcsult Of ] his continuing at his post of arctic sOlt- tude.
 | The Saide, however. left n quantity uf provisions with the professor and also pre- sentcd him with some medicines, of which ! he stOnd in great need.
 Thus was Professor Oven loft in com pany with his brute friend. probably to die on Danc's island, another victim add ed to the cause of arctic exploration.
 NIT. FieIdcn Has Hopes.
 Mir. Fieldcn. tho owner of the yacht Saide writes to The Standard as follows:
 When met Professor Oven at Danes island. he declined to give any informa, tion in regard to the plans of the Well man expedition. declaring that Mir. Well man had pledged him not to divulgo the arrangements or anything concerning the expedition.
 Mir Ficlden thinks that even if thG Ragnvald Jarl was crushed there is nc reason for anxiety with rrgard to tho fate of the party, because they could, under al most any circumstances, make goCd thcil ret reat to Danc's island. He advises MT Wellman's friends to send a ship from Tromso to the island with supplies in Sep tember If nothing moro is heard from thu | expcdition in the meantime.

Another Case Against Dchs.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-In the case of Eugene V. Dcbs ct al. versus the United States of America, pending in the federal court in this city, Judge Woods ordered 1t recorded that the motion to continue tho injunction heretofore issued in this cause be continued to the first Tuesday in Sep tember, and plaintiffs may have un- til that time to file an amended bill, with leave for defendants to file earlier action. A like order was recorded in the case of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railway versus F.. V. Debs. Edward c. Weeks, charged with being the leader of the Hammond strikers, went to jail in default of $500 bond. If Debs is convicted at Chicago, the case against him here will probably be dismissed.

 of the Country.
 CHICAGO, July a5.-Debs and the other officers of tho American Railway union met with a decided reverse in their fl ght against tho prosecution for contempt in the United States court. The court dccid cd that the answer filed by tho defend ants is not a sufficient reply to the charge of contempt, and the motion of their at torncys that they bo discharged was over ruled
 Today the court will hear tho evidence of the government to sustain the contempt charge and the defendants will be given the opportunity to produce evidence in their defense.
 The argument in the case was finished. It was suggested that the case be given to a master, with orders to report in 50 days. The court finally decided to go on with the case today, with the understanding that if it did not make rapid progress it might be sent to a master at any time.
 During tn. discussion Edwin Walker, special counsel for the government, made the suggestion that 1t was within the power of the defendants to end the trouble by declaring the strike off. They are still in contempt, he said, and the government is in possession of information that tho injunction is still being violated.
 Judge Woods said that If there are fur ther violations of the injunction n supple mental information can bo filed, and the guilty parties will find themselves in a much worse position than they would otherwise be in.
 Attorney Gregory denied that it was within the power of his clients to declare the strike of or that any trouble which may exist on the railroads is within their control. With that the subject was droppcd

Two Killed and Two Dying.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 25.-W;:r has broken out again among the striking miners. Two deputy sheriffs have been killed, third fatally wounded and fourth badly hurt. Two desperate strikers did it all and they arc surrounded on the mountain near Coalburg refusing to sur render. The officers are determined to take them dead or alive and will close in on them as soon as more military reaches the scene.
 Deputy Sheriffs Charlie Cole and James Smith went to tho residence of R. H. Hudson, near Coalburg, 10 miles from here, to arrest his son George on n warrant charging participation in the Pratt riot, when half Q dozen negroes and deputies were killed by strikers 10 days ago.
 The Hudsons are bad men. Old man Hudson recently refused to vacatc the com pany's house at COalburg and loaded it with dynamite, preparatory to blowing it up with himself and whatever officials might attempt to arrest him or in case an effort was made to evict him.
 The HudsonS' Desperate Fight.
 When the two officers reached tho IIud- son house. they attempted to arrest the younger Hudson, who rsistcd, drew n gun and began firing. His father, who was with him, joined in the shooting The officers also fired. but tho Hudsons were too quick for them. and Deputy Colo was shot in the breast and died three hours later. The younger HudsCn killed both of the officers
 The elder Hudson was wounded in tho hand. smith lived long enough to tell the other officers who came to the rescue the story of the killing.
 After the killing the Hudsons fed to the woods both heavily armed. As quick ly as possible n posse was organized at Coalburg and another sent from Birming- ham on n special train, followed by troops. Tho first posse surrounded tho Hudsons | on the mountain n mile from the scene of the first encounter. The Hudsons refused to surrender and fired on the posse from | ambush.
 A lively battle in the bushes followed. Two of tho posse fell. Buck Gay hcing mortally wounded and James Woolsun seriously hurt The IludSuns again fed. l As soon as rC-cnfOrccmcnts arrived the | entire place was surrounded and orders 1 sent for more troops.
 The troops, with tho civil officers will | close in on the Hudsons and Capturc them | dead or alive if they have not already made their escape. IL Is expected that | l third fight will take place when the offi cers come up with the dcsp"rnd"es again | Sheriff Morrow has n large force securing the woods, and half u dozen companies o 1 troops are on the scene.
