stltutional grounds in doing SO. In case
of a battle l shall ertainly take a hand" :"

the tield?"
"They will not act as guards to mine
property" was the governors emphatic
reply, "but they will stop the fight, be
assured of that The course for the
mine owners to pursue is TO take action
through the courts to secure possession
of their mines. l have received no in
formation that the miners have resisted
any process Of law if it is properly
brought Isn't it about time for the
mine owners TO explain why they are
gathering armed forces in Ell Paso

WAITING ON THE PRESIDENT.

Congress Ready to Adjourn as Soon -
Cleveland Acts ON the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The final action
of the president on the tariff bill is the
only thing that stands between the senate
and final adjournment. 1t is the general
opinion that with the bill passed upon by
the chief executive adjournment could be
arranged within a days time. The last
of the appropriation bills received the
final consideration of the senate during
the past week and even without the pass
age Of the Murphy resolution there would
not have been much probability of any
general legislation, owing to the likelihood
of there being no quorum. The latest
roll call discovered only forty-fve sena-
tors-two more than n QuOrum-in the
chamber.
Several have left since and it is entire
ly probable that the session today will
open without the number requisite to do
business in the face of an objection. It is
probable, therefore, that the daily sessions
from this time forward will be brief and
that only bills to which there is no oppo-
sition from any senator or over which
there is no contest will be taken up. The
Democratic managers hope to have the
bill repeating the provision in the tariff
bill exempting alcohol used in the arts
and in the manufacture of medicinal prep
IA ions included in this list.
There appears likelihood of opposition on
the Republican side. and if there should
he this bill will necessarily go over until
the next session. The Democratic MEN,
bers of the finance committee also hope to
report tue supplemental tariff bills dur
ing tn. week, but do not expect action ON
them. The house of representatives is
ready to adjourn at any moment. Its
work has been completed and it is only
| awaiting the action of the senate and of
| the president.
