Printers and Government Owner
ship of telegraph.


Washington, May 31.-A. L. Randall,
chairman of the International Typo
graphical union committee on govern
ment ownership of telegraph, has writ
ten letter to Postma ster General Bis
sell, accusing him of never having read
the postal telegraph bill on which he
recently reported adversely to Chair
man Wise, of the House committee on
commerce.
Mr.. Randall says Mr. Bissell evident
ly took it for granted the bill before
him was the Wanamaker bill of the
Fifty-frst Congress. He then calls at
tention to government ownership of
telegraph in other countries and asks:
Are not the people of this country
as capable of conducting govern
ment telegraph as those of European
nations?'
This is followed up with this
threat:
'The International Typographical
union has inaugurated this movement
1t will do its utmost to defeat any man
found working or voting against the

our friends are, we will at once COM
mence the campaign in the districts of

responsible for our delay, and will use
all honorable means to compass their
defeat this fall, no matter which party
they belong to-"

NEW COMPLICATIONS.
Railway Men May Refuse to Run
Trains.

Cripple Creek, Colo, May 31.-The
storm of the last two days has stopped
traffic leading to this region and until
trains begin running again there is no
possibility of the deputies being in
creased in force and consequently no
immediate prospect of a battle unless
the strikers make an attack upon the
deputies camp a Divide.
New complications are threatened to-
day, as for the past twenty-four hours
reports of the railway conductors, en-
gineers and firemen have been in con-
sultation with the strikers at Altman
1t is thought that the trainmen may
refuse to run trains carrying arms,
ammunition and reinforcements to the
deputies. Such a step would i'm
measurably strengthen the strikers, as
the work of massing deputies would be
slow and difficult.
No stages have entered or left Grip
pie Creek today, and this is the second
day Of no railroad communication. In
consequence, anxiety is increasing on
the part of those who wish to leave.

General w. H. Gentry and j. Walter

correspondent of the Post
Liar and ScoundreI.
Owens said to Moore: 81 have come
to see you about the lying, scurrilous
letter which I understand you have re-
ceived from Jets Station, postmarked
Georgetown, in which my character is
attacked in a most shameful manner
You say you believe the letter to be a
forgery, and yet you will print it this
afternoon in the Blade. have this to
say: We have both been men of peace
and 1 have tried to do right, but if you
publish that letter we will be so no
longer and you must stand the conse-
quences. If published, it will reflect
seriously on ladies of Frankfort and
will, besides, be sent to my mother and
sisters. That l cannot and will not
stand. What I have to say to you is.

want you to defend me, and I will not
have that letter published and scat

immortality and Gambling.
Moore began TO explain that he was
doing this to defeat owens, but Owens
shut him off, saying that he did not
want to be defeated by Moore. Then
Moore asked to be allowed to read the
letter which he did.
The letter was dated Jets. KY, May
q. Moore had headed it, How Bill
Owens is INCREASINGLY Ruined The
letter makes grave charges against
Owens of immortality and gambling
and is signed L. Crutcher- The post
mark of the letter is Georgetown. and
the postmaster of that place has just
come in to say that the postmark
stamp was forgery. Moore then
backed down and said if Owens replied
he would say nothing, but the letter
had better not be published. Moore
then agreed not to print it. The origi-
nal copy OF the letter will be placed in
the hands of a detective and the
writer hunted up. Moore kept the
original. although Owens asked him for
it and said he thought he knew where
it came from.
There is no doubt that Moore would
have been killed if he had not backed
down.
