the scene of the widest excitement to-
night, as the result of a fight between the
negro coke workers and the town authori-
ties. One negro is fatally shot and will die
before morning.
This afternoon three negroes came into
town from the Painter coke plant. The
strikers, on getting sight of them, set up
a howl and ran the men almost to their
homes, throwing stones and making every
kind of threats. When the negroes reached
home they raised an excitement among
their neighbors at the plant and forty of
them started for the strikers. Six Hungar-
fans were found near the plant and were
badly 5oaten, and a rush was then made

and revolvers. a fight was soon on
between the negroes and the police
authorities. The colorsd men commenced
shooting The officers called upon the cit
izens for help, and rush was made for
the negroes, when they all took to their
heels and ran out of town. They were fol-
lowed by three or four hundred citizens,
who gave them close pursuit in the face of
volley after volley of shot from revolvers
in the hands of negroes. When two hun
dred yards out OF town one negro FELL shot
in the head, while the others made their
escape.

VENGEANCE OF MINERS.
Origin OF the Trouble in the COuer
DAIene Histrict OF IdnhO.

WALLACE. Ida. July 9.-The trouble
which resulted in the killing of John Knee
bone. blacksmith at the Gem mine, July
originated in his giving damaging testi-
mony against the strikers in their trials
for rioting here two years ago. A month
ago he and about thirty others were black
listed by the miners unions of Gem and
Burke and their employers were requested
to dispose of them. The mine owners re-
fused either to discharge or protect them,
allowing them to take their own chances.
On July about fifty masked men armed
with rifles went to the town of Gem and
shot Kneebone. Other men whom they
saw in the mines were warned to hide
themselves. They took Superintendent
Knell and William drummer, the mine
foreman, and two others and marched
them TO the Montana line where they
made them take an oath never TO return
TO the Couer dAlene country again. Then
their captors returned to Gem and Burke.
Governor Mcconnell offers $1,000 for their
conviction. Both Wallace and Wardner
have been in a condition of suspense and
distrust for the past four days, as other
threats have been made. Every citizen is
taking precautions for his own protection.
All the mines except two have closed down
ana these are likely to close. An attempt
was made to blow up the Bunker Hill
Electric power house yesterday morning,
by the local company of the national
guard, deputy sherlffs and special police
men. William Murphy is the latest man
ordered to leave the country He walked
TO Osborn yesterday and took train for
Spokane this morning; He was given until
midnight TO leave. The men who ordered
John Davis out Friday were arrested last
night charged wiz disturbing the peace.

will be held tomorrow

Gold Exports Decrcnsing.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The net cash bal
ance in the treasury at close of business to-
day was $12l, SOB 222. of which Ssi,24l, 4O6 was
gold reserve. This is an increase in the
cash balance since June q of nearly $780,
COO, and an increase in the gold reserve
since June % of nearly s. 250OO0.
The Treasury officials are greatly encour-
aged at the seeming cessation of the gold
export movement and the great increase in
internal revenue receipts. and are very
confident that these conditions. added TO
the probable early passage of the new
tariff bill, will result in a large increase of
the cash balance in the gold reserve.

CONFEREES AT WORK
TARIFF BILL CONSIDERED FOR SIX
HOURS WITHOUT PROGRESS.
Senator's Contended that Changes
Would Imperil the Passage of the
Measure-NfIchrists Successor.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The first day
of the conference of the Democratic con-
ferees of the two Houses was without
practical results or visible progress. so
far as can be learned. The conference
continued for six hours and was uninter-
rupted even for meals, but when an ad-
journment was taken, after o'clock. no
item In the bill had been finally passed
upon and agreed to.
The day was devoted to a general dis
cussion Of the main features Of the bill
and the principal points of difference be-
tween the two Houses. The conferees on
the part OF the House OF Representatives
pointed out the radical change in policy
involved in the Senate's departure from
the free raw material platform and from
the al valorem system. and asserted that
the Senate bin was not at all what the
country demanded in the way of tariff
reform. The Senate representatives re-
piled In effect that 1t might be true, and
might be admitted by individual members.
TO have proved the most radical bill that
could be passed in the Senate. and an
nounced a determination TO stand for the
bill practically as il passed the Senate.
They asserted that TO make any conces-
danger the passage of the bill when re-
turned 10 the Senate. just as TO have stood
by the House bill in this respect in the
beginning would have probably prevented
It's passage IN the first place. They also
c0ntended that material reductions or
radical changes from ad valorem to
specific duties would delay if not endanger
final action upon the bill. The House
members. while admitting the force of
these suggestions. said the action of the
House might also prove uncertain.
The conference meets again at 10 O'Clock
Tomorrow for all day session Some of
the members desired a night session to-
night but Mr. Wilson's physical condi-
ton was hardly equal 10 IT, There had
been hope that the committee would make
Its first report 10 the House not later than
next Friday, and possibly by Wednesday,
on verbal changes 70 which all could agree
But the conference to-day brought out
that the differences were too wide TO hone
for this preliminary report. on the con-
trary, IL was practically determined to
keep at work until all was finished. ana
there Is little indication to-day that II
could be accomplished this week
IL was also practically concluded to-day
not TO have a meeting of the full commit
tee. az which the Republican members
would be present until the entire bin vas
finished. There Is. however. a difference
OF opinion on this point and this policy
may be changed.

To-night's action of the City Counch III
respect to President Clevelands oruei
bringing federal troops TO Chicago was
foresta1led by a large number or inoorse
ments Of his action sent him by prominent
business men of the city. The list OF sig
natures included those OF almost every
conspicuous merchant, manufacturer anu
banker of Chicago.
Touching the situation in general, it may
be said that in Chicago the roads were an
doing better than on any previous DAY
since the strike began. Passenger trains
were moving with more or less regularity
and some freight traffic has been cared Tor.
A large number Of striking freight hana-
lers of the Illinois Central returned 10
work and other roads noted accesSiohs
to their operative forces.
At ST. Louis, Kansas City and Denver II
was reported that railroad business hau
about returned to normal conditions
Nashville also reported an Improvement
About the only points at which the strike
managers showed any gain were IN the
partial walkout of firemen at Fort Scott
Kan, the freight men on the hanaWha
& Michigan at Charleston, W. Va, and the
strike Of the American Railway Union
men on the Big Four at Mattoon. 1t VIII
thus be seen that at the leading railroad
centers the strikers have made percepu-
BILE losses, while their gains are at COM
paratively unimportant points.
Regulations which prevailed in the gov
ernment building to-day were a near ap-
proach to martial law. Deputy marshais
were stationed on every floor and every
body was challenged who could not snow
that he had business in the building.
To-morrow's sunrise will see in this city
one thousand more federal troops than
there were this morning. These, with the
forces already in the field, it is believed.
will be able tomorrow to make a further
betterment in the conditions in this city,
and the mobilization of troops and marines
at San Francisco and of regulars at other
points on the Pacific coast will suffice in
all probability to start traffic on the trans
continental lines.

breast; died almost instantly.
UNKNOWN MAN, fatally wounded
The shooting occurred near Westville,
about six miles from here The miners had
been rioting in this vicinity since yester-
day afternoon. During last night a num-
ber of freight cars were destroyed in the
Eastern Illinois yards by incendiary fires.
This forenoon number of cars were de-
branch. When the wreckage had been
cleared the inbound passenger train pro-
ceeded without molestation until Westvile
reached. When it stopped there it
was surrounded by crowd of miners and
held. Word was telegraphed to Danville
and a special train with a company of the
State troops started at once for the scene
of trouble
About one mile from Westville a large
crowd of miners had collected, and upon
the approach of the train bearing the
militia began warlike demonstrations Sew
eral pistol shots were fired at the soldiers,
who returned the fire, shooting over the
heads OF the mob from the train, merely
intending to scare the rioters. Miss Clara

Jonas James, vas standing in the doorway
of her home n bullet struck her just
below her right breast, and she died almost
instantly Mrs. Michael Glennan, a widow,

tia left the train and charged the crowd,
securing three prisoners. Then the crowd
dispersed and, no further resistance being
offered, the troops returned to their train,
which had been coupled in front of the
passenger, and the train continued without
further delay.
