NOT MUCH OF AN OVERFLOW

Managers OF the Representative Hall
Meeting Deserve censure.
The overflow meeting from the Re-
publican convention held in Representa-
tive hall last night didn't overflow either
in numbers or enthusiasm The hall was
half full There are sixty eight cuspi-
dora in the room, which was about one
for each man, and three times as many
women as men. The people who at
tended were treated shamefully by those
who had the meeting in charge. The
audience represented Topeka's best ele-
ment and large number of out-of-town
people were present But in the pres
sure and excitement of politics the Re-
publicans forgot apparently to send any
speakers to the overflow meeting, and
none came. The audience waited from
1880 to 9:15 and showed considerable for
bearance. The hopes of the audience
bobbed up and down like the Adams
apple of first tenor.
The women showed themselves ignor-
ant on the subject of politics and poIiti-
clans by mistaking West Tenth street
grocer for William Higgins, and Popu-
list, who went to all the Coxey meetings,
for Cy Leland.
Now and then the door back of the
speakers desk would squeak and the
people would think 'shere they come"
but the door generally opened to admit
Guide Harrington or one of the colored
janitors
Finally Mrs. ]. G. Wood volunteered

laid claim to being public speaker, but
she possesses the art of saying briefly
and concisely what she thinks. "We
don't want that suffrage plank inserted
in the platform yet" she said. 81 used

she is suffragist first and Republican
afterwards. This is wrong, and this is
back am Republican first and suf-
fragist afterwards. The Republican
women should be Republicans still,
whether they get the plank or not"
Mrs. J. G. Wood talked about fifteen
minutes and sat down. The audience
waited patiently for several minutes and
as no one else got up to speak, the peo-
pie slowly filed out

Sheriff Bowers agreed to this, and
there is every reason to think there

worst of the food is over. Snake
river is falling and the COlum bia is
stationary. In this city the water
reached the thirty three-foot mark at

deep enough for navigation by a large
sized river craft.
At The Dalles the river is SO. feet

doing business are the groceries and
markets. The water is nearly three
feet deep on the floor of the pOstOffice.
A swift current is running through
the town and it is feared that many
buildings may be washed from their
foundations. The hotels are in the
water up to the second story. Thirty
blocks are under water and the rise of
a few feet more will inundate the en-

BLOOD AT PEKIN.
Deadly Engagement at That
Point With Strikers.
The Sheriff and His Posse Had
to Retreat.
TWO MINERS KILLED
After Which the Sheriff is
Driven Away.

PEKIN. Ill, June There was a
bloody battle at Little coal mine, five
miles down the Illinois river from
Pekin, yesterday. Word was received
at Pekin yesterday morning that 500
miners from the west of the river
were about to attack the mine.
Sheriff Frederick swore in a posse
and set out for the scene. The
strikers met at Bentonvi1le and crossed
the Illinois river on ferries. There
were about 400 men and some women.
The sheriff and his posse demonstrated
with the mob in vain. The leader of
the strikers, with revolver in each
hand, cried out: ''Follow me-" and
the crowd cheered on the miners.
The two Littles and their sons and
a colOred man retreated to the lower
shaft and opened fire on the attack
ing party, some of whom were seen
to fall. The fire was returned, and
hundreds of shots were fred into and
about the lower shaft. The Titles
hoisted white flag but the firing did
not cease. The shaft was set on fire.
1t was feared the powder house
would be fred and the crowds re-
treated The air shaft was kept
closed.
The killed: Jack jackson, colored,
a miner at Titles; Ed Bloom, one of
the strikers.
Wounded: Ed Porter and Peter
Little. the former shot in the breast,
probably fatally, the latter in the
arm.

hurt There are number of miners

tional Tube Works.


tional Tube Works.
McKEEsPoRT, Pa, June 2. - This
city has been virtually in the hands
of a mob since Tuesday, and only
the failure of deputies to come here,
as has been expected, prevented a
epetitiOn of the Homestead onf1ict
of 1892. The mob is defiant and has
committed many acts of lawlessness,
and it is believed that only a strong
body of troops will restore order
About IL o'clock yesterday some
one came among tide strikers congre-
gated about the works and announced
that some tube works strikers were
working at the slack piles across the
river. A mad rush was made by about
tipple of J ohm Davitt was wrecked in
a few minutes From there the crowd
made break for new tipple being
erected by John Mcintyre about
mile above. A halt was made for
some little time until the mob could
be gathered and then the Mcintyre
tipple shared the same fate as the
Davitt. These slack piles had not
been made use of for years until now.
The city was half deserted yesterday
afternoon by the departure of a mob
of 1000 strikers to Camden, three
miles south of here. Their mission
was said to be the destruction of coal
tipples, to enlist the striking miners
in their cause.
Captain Mcintyre narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands of the mob
which destroyed the Portvue tipple.
He tried to check the progress of the
mob at the point of a revolver, but
the mob made a rush for him and
would have Iynched him if it had not
been for some friends who rescued
him.
The strikers have three cannon, two
of which were uSed nv the homestead
strikers two years ago and the other
from Duquesne, planted in a COM
handing position on the river bank
about 200 yards apart and manned by
eight men each 1t is definitely known
that at least one gun is heavily loaded
with railroad iron.
The tipples destroyed at POrtvue
were valued at 50, 900.
