Along the Line.

SAND POINT, Idaho, May l4.-Along
both the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern lines west of here industrlals
are coming in droves. Owing to the
vigilance of the United States deputies
at the various points along the North
ern Pacific the trains have been kept
clear of the wealers, save in few In
stances where considerable delay and
trouble has been caused by the persist
ence of the Coxeyites. Chief Deputy
Sweeny has sworn in additional depu-
ties along the line and Is himself run
ming back and forth. personally super
vising the mems actions, and through
his determined attitude is chiefly due
the success which the deputies have so
far had in protecting the company's
property. There are now fully 400
commonwealers between this place and
the Idaho and Washington state line on
the Northern Pacific and more are leav
ing Spokane every hour Of the day. On
the Great Northern not 80 much prog
ress is being made by the army, as the
rumors of possible strike on that line
has deferred many from going that way.
However, there are about $50 between
here and Spokane on that line. Hell
ena, Montana, is their objective point,
and every detachment which leaves
Spokane has instructions to get there
as soon as possible and wait for the rest
to come, when grand organization is
to take place. This is the program, as
the deputies have been able to learn
from different members of the army
who have been interviewed along the
line.

May Go In Pursuit.

SALT LAkE, May IA special from
Montpelier says: Most of the common
wealers stranded here are now on their
way east on a stolen train. This has
been a most exciting day, and nothing
but the GOODNESS and sagacity of United
States Marshal Pinkham and deputies
averted bloodshed. The overland train
was late at Pocatello and was sent over
this route instead of by Ogden, as usual.
When it arrived at o'clock the indus
trials piled on top and on the platform
with their baggage. Conductor Rice
refused to move the train and they all
got of. At 1O:45 special train, bear
ing Superintendent Calvin and United
States Marshal Pinkham arrived with
thirty deputies from the west. Pinkham
called his men into line and read the
order of the court to protect property,
telling them the train was being made
up and any man attempting to board
the train would be shot. The entire
crowd piled on the train and the crew
was then released and the engine run
into the shop. The town by this time
was wild with excitement, many citi-
zens sympathizing with the common
wealers. A public meeting was called
and Mayor Douglas was elected chair
man. Speeches were made by promi-
nent citizens. A committee of eight
was elected to confer with the officials
and industrials. Superintendent Calvin
and Marshal Pinkham were willing 10
do al. they could for the relief Of the
citizens, but their hands were tied by
the court. The industrials were deter
mined to ride east. The men were
again ordered to get of the train, but
refused. Dick Williams, a constable of
the town, made himself conspicuous in
encouraging the industrials and was
arrested and taken to Superintendent
Calvin's car. The industrials threat.
ened to release him and crowded around
the car, confronted by three dozen
Wholesalers sticking out of the win
dows. 1t was bowling mob, without
a commander. The train was pulled
out west to avoid bloodshed. The ip:
dustrials then made break for the
roundhouse, took an engine, hitched 1t
to five boxcars and al $50 pulled out
FOR the east with flags flying.

Threatened to Hang tho Marsha1s.


SPOKANE, May 14.-State Senator c..
w. Ide came in from the sound yester'
day. "Tbings were Ia a pretty state
for a little while in Seattle Saturday
morning." he said. "a crowd started
after some deputy marshals, jeering
and Offering threats of violence. 1t is
said threats to lynch were made, and
the deputies found they had business in
a convenient bank. The crowd hung
around for some time, threatening to
break the windows, but some cooler
head drew them off to the docks for a
public meeting. Speeches were made
denouncing the marshals and the rail-
road oficials, when a telegram was
received from Spokane, signed by
Jeffries, informing them that Judge
Buck had ordered the Yakima prison
ers brought back here. The crowd
cheered Buck and Jeffries, and some
one ccuuseled moderation, at least
until it was seen whether the men
we're brought back under Judge Bucks
order.

ELLENsBURa, WASH, May 13.-With
the exception of two or three men who
stayed to look after two sick men, the
industrial army has left Ellensburg.
The last of them departed this morning
in wagons and afoot for Moses cou!ee
with sufficient provisions bought by the
city to last them to Spokane. Their
rendezvous is closed and the people are
breathing easier. 1t is estimated that
1000 to 1900 have passed through here

the officers said they were told by tran
men when the train would leave and
took advantage of the Information to
get into boxcars. They were assured
no stop would be made between here
and Pasco except for water.
Several city officers and citizens went
down this morning to recover the body
found on the island below the scene OF
the wreck. After hard work a rope was
got around it and /. was hauled ashore.

Masonry in Darkest Africa.


The National Advocate. Buffalo, N. Y.
The following incidents, which
are probably founded on facts, have
founded their way into some of our
exchanges and are worth reproduc-
ing. Major L. H. Carson, OF
ashville, Tenn, is the narrator:
"WhlIe a young man and soon at
ter moving from his native home in
Kentucky to his plantation in Mis-
sissippi, jefferson Davis bought a
cargo of blacks just over from Afri-
ca. While they were working in
the fields one day, Mr.. Davis observ
ed his new negroes making Masonic
signs OF distress to the overseer
That individual, not being a Mason,
thought the Negroes were carrying
on a system Of signals preparatory
to revolt was about to have them
whipped. Nj. Davis stopped his
proceeding. lie tested the Negroes
thoroughly and to his amazement
discovered that they were Masons Of
the third degree, though brought
from the heart of Africa. Being a
Mason himself, you can un-
derstand that he lost no time in CIV
ing them their choice of either re-
turning to Afr rica or remaining on
his estate until he could provide for
them in some other way. Most of
them were shipped to Africa at Mr..
Davis expense, though some Of them
remained with him until the end.
Now, if this story is true, and l
cont doubt it, how did Masonry
find its way into the heart of africa?
l have often thought it strange that
the Masons have never investigated
this matter. There is nothing
strange, says the Colored American,
for the simple reason Freemasonry
extends from East to West and from
North to South and it is not confn-
ed to any particular color. The
presumption is that Freemasonry
was introduced into Africa by the
English Freemasons, who to a great
extent have circulated Freemasonry
throughout the different civilized
parts Of the globe. England can
we'll be named the mother of Free
masonry throughout the world"

It IL Supposed to BE Hidden in an Old
Cave Just Discovered.
LAMPAsAs, Mex, June 8.-The people
of the town of Sabinas and surrounding
country to the south of here. are ex-
cited over the discovery of a bandits
cave in which a fabulous wealth is be-
lieved to be stored. The cave was the
rendezvous of the famous bandit, Ell
Colorado, and his followers who terror
lied all of northern Mexico about CEN
tury ago. 1t is situated in the Iguana
mountains, near Sabinas, and was first
discovered three months ago by an old
man named Cuevas, who in some man.
ner had just come into possession OF q
chart giving the location of the cave.
He and three sons and four other rela-
tives started to make an exploration Of
the cave. In an inner compartment
they found large pile Of silver coin of
ancient coinage. They had filed one
sack with the money when they were
all overcome with the fire damp, with
which the cave was filled and only four
of the party succeeded in reaching the
open air alive.
Old man Clevls was taken very sick
as the result of his terrible experience,
anl few days ago died On his death
bed he conf led to the priest the secret Of
the cave, AMI "A party of explorers was
at once organized TO visit and secure the
treatment. 1t was headed by Silverio
CARA, pro nine It citizen Of Sabinas.
They were all driven ont of thu cave by
the noxious gases. and two members of
the party have died from the effects Of
the poison which thew inhaled The
news of this second expef ition had
become public and the authorities have
placed guards at the cave to guard the
treasure until further explorations can
be made. The general government has
been notified of the situation.

DENIsoN, Tex, June 8.-A citizen OF
the Indian Territory furnishes the par
ticulars of the presence of the Dalton
gang, who have been in the neighbor-
hood of Kiowa, l. T., for at least a
fortnight. Monday the gang called at
the farmhouse of Mr.. White, who re-
sides 10 miles west of Kiowa. White
has known Bill Dalton for humber of
years. He was accompanied by four
companions, who were well mounted
and armed to the teeth.
After being provided with a hearty
meal Dalton remarked that he was short
of cartridges, and wanted every one
that was in the house White gave him
all he had. That night the gang went
into camp on a ridge which overlooked
the prairie lands below. Dalton ex-
pressed his contempt for the officers,
and intimated that he intended to 60
where he pleased. and take his time
about it. The next morning the gang
left, going northeast. The officers were
Immediately notified, and on Monday
Chief of Police LAHORE McCake and
others arrived at Kiowa.
The news was sent to Paris, and by
Monday night about 20 officers were on
the ground ready for pursuit. There
is no doubt that Dalton and his gang
have been in the neighborhood of Kiowa
for some time, and that they are per-
fecting arrangements for raid on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger
train. The impression is that Dalton
has gone to unite with the Longview
bank robbers, who are believed to be
