Washington, June 3.-The sugar sched-

point around which the proceedings in the

Among numerous senators who were
asked for their opinion as to when the

one would attempt to fix a definite time.
The discussion has already proceeded
for three days, which is the utmost time

opponents of the bill shall not be forced

Senator Harris adheres to his determi-
nation to ask the Senate to prolong it's

with Monday.
Some of the Republican senators have
taken his notice to mean that he will
ask the Senate to sit on Monday until

Washington, June 3.-The outlook for
the week in the House of Representatives
is so much in doubt that a Democratic
caucus may be necessary to agree on a
plan of action.
The state bank question has been de-
bated until the leaders are anxious for a
vote, but the debate has shown the state
bank men that they are liable to be de-
feated by inability to agree on any one
of the many plans discussed. AS the
state bank principle was incorporated in
the Democratic national platform, the
leaders are loath to see the bill defeated.

may be called for the purpose of formu-
lating a party measure which Will COM

the final vote on the bill will be taken
early in the week unless the whole ques-

advisability of giving one day to Repre-

Strikers Have Made Preparations

for an Attack and Siege.
Cripple Creek, Colo. June SAN day
long the striking miners have been on
the alert, expecting that at any mo-
ment some of Sheriff Bowers deputies
would put in an appearance in some re-
mote portion of the camp.
Not single miner is working in the
camp. One shift was put in on the
Moose, Elkton, Prince Albert, Gold Dol

properties, but the managers Of these
several mines were informed at noon
that it would be impossible to run any
of the properties tonight.
The men are now confident that they
will be attacked some time tomorrow,
and that the hours may be directly af-
ter midnight. They are ready and this
is so well known by the deputies that
the officer commanding is using the ut
most caution.

ties have been drafting recruits.
Many of the parties were headed by
women, who promise to stand till the
end comes. The towns of Victor, Ana
conda, Mound city and other places are
in the possession of squads of armed
strikers.
Cripple Creek was entirely unmolest-

strikers is to meet the deputies and
make as strong stand as possible and

a desperate stand will be made.

Denver, Colo, June 3-When Cover
nor Waite made his profane reply to
Sheriff Bowers request for troops, at
Colorado Springs last night, all hope
of receiving help from the militia was
given up. Tooday's developments but
strengthen the impression that no aid
would be received through the cover

Governor Waite. Lorenz. his private
secretary, and John Calderwood, presi-
dent of the miners union, left Colorado
Springs for this city at 1890 o'clock
this morning, and arrived here about
an hour later.
Governor Waite and Lorenz imme-
diately went into conference with the
governors advisers.
Calderwood went where no one but
Waite and Lorenz can find him.
1t is not known who all the COVER
nor's advisers were. Nothing was de-
cided upon at the conference, and an
other was held at 10 o'clock with like
result so far as any one knows.
Making Political Capital.
This much, however, has leaked out,
| that Governor Waite is making use OF
the situation at Cripple Creek, and al
so the militia, apparently to further
the interests of himself and party. One
gentleman who attended he conference
said that Governor Waite, speaking OF
Sheriff Bowers demand for troops, said
that to order out the militia would be
to defeat the miners and lose us oul
fight, and we can't afford to do it,
Sheriff Bowers followed Governor
Waite to Denver on the next train. To
day he made another appeal to the
governor for troops. but so far the de-
mand has proved Intellectual.
Sheriff Bowers. tonight, started ir
search of Calderwood to arrest him
but failed to find him.
Lorenz refused 70 say anything about
lCalderwood' whereabouts until he had
talk with the governor The two went
to the governor, who not only refused
to state Caiderwood's whereabouts but
instructed LorenZ to say notfif ZEN.

Portland. Ore. June 3.-This has been a
busy day in Portland. All day long mer-
chants in the flooded districts have been
at work moving out goods or raising them
on platforms above the water.
The river continues to rise, and every

The heather has been cooler here, but no
reports can be had from eastern Oregon

More Farms VIII Be Abandoned-A
Crop Failure.


Topeka, Kan, June 3.-Reports from
the western part of Kansas are very
discouraging and show the wheat in
that section to be a total failure
There was very little wheat raised
west of the center of the state, and un-
less the conditions Immediately change
there will be no corn raised.
In many counties, there has not been
any rain for more than a year, with
the exception of Slight showers. The
people OF that section are not well pre-
pared to withstand another crop failure
Hundreds of farmers are without
means to buy provisions to tide them
over another year, and the prospects
of another failure will force many OF
them to leave the country
State Senator Wilcockson. of Logan
county, said today that the people of
that region would have. to leave and
abandon the prairies for stock ranches
if the crops failed again this year. The
people have held on with the hope that
the climatic conditions would change
but they will be forced to leave before
another cold winter comes.

fear is that when the Indians draw
their cash, they will be robbed on their

London, June 3.-Herr Dow, inventor
of the so-called bullet-proof coat, has
written letter to the Times offering
to forfeit the purchase money to any
one who buys his coat if it contains
either iron or steel. He declares that
his invention is for sale al price much
under. the 100000 mentioned in the
newspapers.
Mr.. Maxim, whose invention of bull
let-proof material which was tested
few days ago, has written to the pro-
prietors stating that his first letter de-
claring that he could in six ours in
vent bullet-proof material superior to
Herr BOWS. was merely a joke. He still
claims, however, that he has produced
lighter shield. which is just as effect

whole subject of bulIet-proof clothing is
farce His prepared steel, he says, is
the best substance in the world for
stopping bullets. He adds he has suf-
ficient evidence to convince him that
