WAsHfNGToN, Aug. 20.-Mem bers Of
the house committee on commerce
have not abandoned the project of
holding an investigation of the railroad
strikes. The appointment Of COM
mission by President Cleveland to con-
duct similar investigation was
thought 10 have ioreslalled action by a
committee. and the idea of congress
sional Investigation vas dropped. 1t
Is thought by members that the inquiry
by the commission now in progress Is
intended principally to secure informa-
ton upon questions OF capital aud
labor involved and their solution. The
supporters OF the resolution before the
cpmmittee desire report regarding the
effect of the railroad strike upon the
commerce of the United States. Two
or three members favor laws which
would control railroad employees. SO
that general strikes parall ztng com
merce could not be inaugurated with
out due notice. They regard railroads
in measure as public high ways, which
should he under public control. An
effort Will be made to have u committee
meeting called this week to report to
the house IA resolu ion for an investiga-
ton during r. cess.

News From the Mining Dlstricts-The
Military Court of Inquiry Be

KALIsPELL, Mont, Aug. 20.-Charles
J. Black, murderer of Mrs. Cunning
ham, was taken into the district court
this morning for sentence. He was
cool and Indifferent. The court room
was crowded. Judge Dubois ordered
him to stand up and then said:
BLACK, on an occasion like this.
when we are almost in the presence of
death itself, it seems to the court that
whatever it might say regarding the
enormity of your crime would have no
effect. 1t might seemingly degenerate
only into buzz of helpless man, and
it certainly would lessen the force of
that climax which the law has incor-
pOrated into its penal code when it says
that any man who maliciously, will
fully and premeditatedly takes the life
of another shall suffer death. Thus
have you broken the law, aud .thus
will you suffer- Some four months
ago in this courtroom | advised YOU
that you were in a serious predicament,
and now you stand on tue threshold
of eternity. | give you this advice:
Do not let hopes which may prove
false prevent you from today making
your peace with your Maker. And
now, in accordance with the verdict of
the jury, it is ordered, adiudged and
decreed that you, Charles j. Black, be
taken to the county Jail of FlatheSd
county and that you there be kent in
safe custody by the sheriff of said Flat
head county until Friday, the IS h day
of Septem Der, A. ID. 1894, and that
upon that day, between the hours OF 8
o. clock in the forenoon and o'clock in
he afternoon, you be taken by said
sheriff aa near the said Jail as p 1ssible,
the neck until you shall be dead, dead,
dead, and may God have meacy upon
you"
On being taken back to Jail Black
asked the jailer to feed him chicken
while lie stald on earth.

of Affairs.
CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Alt
geld went to Pullman today to investi-
gate the condition of the strikers. His
visit was the result of a communica-
ton stating that ] 900 families are near
starvation.
Vice President Wickes of the Pull
man company called on Governor Alt
geld and offered 10 accompany him to
Pullman. II prefer TO so alone" said
the governor. II think | can find my
way about the town"
Governor Altgeld made a personal
investigation of several cases of desti-
tuition, and found the story of practical
starvation had not been greatly over
drawu. After investigation the gov
ernor asked the manager of the Pull
man company if he could suggest any
solution to the condition of destitution
and starvation. 1.-The only thing we
can do" was the answer, sis to nut
the men back as fast as vacancies occur
in the shop
But this is slow and uncertain.n
replied Altgeld, ''and the question is
one OF immediate starvation. Can't
you put oil few hundred of the men
ana let them alternate until this con.
dltlon OF misery is relieved?' Middle
ton said he did not see how the com.
pany could change its present plans.
The governor Will receive the relief
com itIee Of the Pullman strikers to-
morrow and means for relieving the
starving people will then be devised.

Mining Notes
The immense trains OF Canyon creek
ore going through every day seem to
discredit the story given out by Super
lntendent Mcneil Of tile o. r, & n.
Company that the Ceur d'Alene
branch was not paying its own way.
This branch Is running "a mixed train
and. frequently 20 cars are attached 10
one engine, while the passenger coach
is comfortably full and the express car
well loaded.
Alger, Young and Horton are put
ting steam hoist in the Nellie mine
at OsburD, and with force of several
men are going TO work in earnest. The
Nellie is one of the richest properties
in the ''dry" belt.
The new Stewart mining law meets
with the approval of everyone in this
section. Men who would otherwise
have to forfeit good claims on account
of hard times can now hold them for
another year by merely filing the neces-
sary atfidavts with the recorders.
All the mines on Canyon creek ex-
cept the Black Bear and the Mann
moth are at work, and the latter, it is
said, will start up before the first of
September. Nearly as many men are
now working in Canyon creek as ever
worked there at any previous time.
The sampling works between this town
and Wallace are running two shifts,
and much ore is going out direct TO the
smelters without undergoing the samp-
ling process.
An adjourned term of the district
court begins Monday, the Goth inst,
with Judge Pieper of Moscow on the
bench. Some important mining cases
are TO lie tried before Judge Pieper,
Judge Holleman being disqualified by
reason OF having been an attorney in
the different cases prior to his election |
to the bench.
California capitalists are looking over !
sone Osburn prospects through their |
this place. 1t is reported they have |
already made an offer for the Column |
bia, ST. Elmo and California claims of |
$50, 900, agreeing to pay $1,000 or its |
