D'Alene miners have broken out again.
The hills are full of rioting miners and
the town is paralyzed. Business is
suspended and the sheriff is organizing
a posse to defend the miners. a ire
mendous explosion shook the town,
followed by a chorus of derisive yells.
1t was discovered that an attempt was
made to blow up the power house and
electric light plant Of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines. The hills above
the power house Were full of rioters,
who made no attempt to attack the
town. but spent the whole morning
rolling rocks down the steep mountain
side on the power house and mine
buildings. The governor was notified
and has ordered out the militia.
Gov Waite of Colorado is en-
ragged at the action of the United
States marshal in ordering the arrest
of the strikers without warrants. He
sent President Cleveland a telegram
citing the instructions of the marshal
to deputies and United States troops at
la Junta and Trinidad, and protesting
against what he terms carrying war
into Colorado regardless of the states
rights, and .!usurping our authority
TO suspend the writ of habeas corpus in
Colorado" The governor also sent q
letter to Federal Judge Hallet citing
the same action and demanding by
what authority Judge Hallet under
took to clothe the marshal with such
powers; defending his (Gov. Waite's)
course during the late mining troubles,
which Judge Hallet stigmatized as
'.imbecile and anarchistic,' and de-
claring the action Of the judge and mar
shall as the most dangerous anarchy.
At Hunters Quay, Firth of the Clyde,
Scotland, there were exciting times in
the Mud Hook Yacht club over the
Royal Yacht club course of fifty miles
a few days ago. The greatest throng
ever gathered Jnefc TO see race were
present. At the very start the Val
llyrie and Samantha came in collision.
The former sank at once and the other
was SO badly damaged that she was
taken out of the race. The boats
picked up Lord Dunraven and the crew
of the Valllyrie. This left the Prince
of Wales Britannia. admittedly the
fastest yacht in England, and the
American yacht Vigilant to race alone.
The Britannia got the best of the start,
which was in a heavy fog but with a
good breeze the Vigilant soon began to
overhaul the Britisher and soon had a
considerable lead which increased the
seven minutes on the way home. but
on the last leg the wind died down and
the Britannia outfooted the American
racer and won, crossing the line only
Ave seconds ahead of the American
Yacht The time OF the Britannia was
five hours and ffty-eight minutes, of
the Vigilant five seconds more.
