DUEL NEAR BOSTON.

a Lawyer aud q Journalist Fight with
Swords, the Former Being Wounded.
Boston, Mass, May 2s.-Shortly
after o'clock last night three hacks
left Hotel Reynolds for Roxbury.
They contained two duelists and their
seconds, referee and attendants.
One of the principals was a young
lawyer named Crowley, and the other
a young newspaper man named Delos
Goldsmith The two men have been
enemies for some time past on ac-
count of having fallen in love with
the same girl, and some months ago
the arrangements for the duel were
completed. Both men are reputed to
be experts with the foils, and so it
was agreed that they should settle
their quarrel with sharp foils. After
battling for fifteen minutes, during
which time both men were wounded,
Crowley fell and was caught in the
arms of his seconds.

Such q Plan Presented to Miners
by Labor Leaders.

CRIPPLE CREEK. Col, May 2S.-The
delegation from Colorado Springs,
consisting of DIR. Slocum, president of
Colorado college; Mr.. G. G. Collins,
president of the trades assembly; Mr..
L. w. Bates, president, and Mr..
Charles Geisster, secre tary of the Car
penter's union; Mr.. D. Fl. Hogan of the
Carpenters union and Rev. E. Evans
Darlington. all of Colorado Springs,
came to the city yesterday with the
hope that something might be done to
settle the controversy that has arisen
in connection with the strike
They were very courteous1y re-
ceived by President Calderwood and
other representa- tives of the union.
After very satisfactory conference,
all the miners in the vicinity congre-
gated about the building in which the
meeting was held, and DR.. Slocum adj
dressed them, stating the conditions
upon which arbitration could be
brought about.
A meeting of the Miners union has
been called for 10 o'clock this morn
ing. and there is every reason for
thinking that committee will be APP
pointed which will attempt to arbl-
trate 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 under
standing can be reached. In the
meantime there is to be a complete
cessation of hostilities on all sides.
Prisoners are to be exchanged, and it
is most earnestly hoped that this I'M
fortunate affair will be settled and a
new era of good feeling and prosper
ity brought to the camp.
Superintendent Mcdonald and two
of his men are still held as hostages
on Bull hill.
In advance it has been stated that
eight hours shall constitute a days
work, and all that will have to be ar
bitrated is what shall be received
therefor. An awful strain has been
lifted from the community, and ma
jority of the people feel convinced
the trouble is at end.
The first clash of arms between the
striking miners of the Cripple Creek
district and the deputy sheriffs, oc-
Cured at a. m. Saturday. William
Rabideau, deputy, another deputy
whose name is unknown and Hiram
Crowley, a miner, were killed and
Dynamite Shorty and two other
miners were wounded. Frank Mason,
Fred Todd, d. D. Dunn, William
Bailey and E. M. Russell, miners,
were taken prisoners by the deputies
and are now held in their camp. Six
of the deputies were captured by the
miners during the fight and are still
held by them

CANNOT FIX RATES.
Supreme Court Decision of Vast Inn
portance to Railways.

a Supreme Court Decision of Vast Inn
portance to Railways.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-In the case
of the International & Great Northern
railway against the attorney general
and railway commissioners of Texas,
the United States supreme court has
ruled that it is not within the province
of legislatures to fix railroad rates,
sioners cannot constitutionallv fix
such rates. In this case the Texas
commissioners fixed rates for the rail-
ways to charge, and the railway com
panies declared them Improbable and
unreasonable. The supreme court
sustains this. declaring that the rates
fixed were too low. This decision is
a black eye to the states of Kansas
and Nebraska, whose railway commits
sioners have been fixing rates for sew
eral years for railways to charge.

The Sugar scheduIe.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The main in
terest in the proceedings of the senate
this week centers in the prospective
contest over the sugar schedule,
which will probably be reached on
Tuesday. The consideration of the
metal schedule having been concluded
Saturday, the wood schedule IS the
only one now standing before sugar.
Senators on both sides of the chamber
are looking forward to the vote on
sugar with an interest that amounts
almost to anxiety. 1t is very evident
the result of the contest over this
schedule will be regarded, in meas
IRE, as a test of the strength of the re-
spective sides on the bill as whole.

AN IMPREGNABLE POSITION.
Bull Hill Fort, the Place Where the
Miners IRE Intrenched.

Miners IRE Intrenched.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May est is
questionable if an old campaigner
could have selected a stronger posi-
ton than that chosen by tie miners
on Bull hill. Bull hill is quite lofty
peak. The sides of the mountain are
very precipitous to within a short dis
tance of the top, where they are per-
pendicular The top of this mountain
is perfectly level, and here it is the
fort has been constructed. From this
point the entire valley can be seen,
and also the surrounding mountains
and passes. 1t is utterly impossible
for body of men to approach it from
any direction and escape observation.
So difficult is the approach that no
body of men could hope to scale the
mountain and dislOdge the occupants
of the fort unless many times greater
than the party of defenders, and then
only with great slaughter and with q
display of desperate courage.
Immediately beneath the fort is the
Victor mine, where it can easily be
fred upon. In the valley and on the
sides of the adjacent mountains are
the towns of Victor, Altman and Buena
Vista, and the Strong, Anna Lee and
Independence mines, all within easy
reach of modern artillery. The fort
is well supplied with food and ammu-
milton, and the only thing that would
weaken long siege is lack of water.
Whether the strikers have artillery
or not is not definitely known.
From this stronghold the strikers
each of whom is heavily armed, watch
every inch of ground within the
range of vision, and go forth in
squads to guard all passes and to run
from the region all persons who are
distasteful to them, or who act in
suspicious manner. They believe
thew are Fl Ohtino for their RIGHTS and
shirk no danger, and no member of
the regular army could be more i'm
perative in his demands or to shoot
down the man who fails to comply
with them.
While the fort is at all times guarded
by force sufficiently large to hold it,
the scouting parties guarded 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.
