WASHINGTON, Ind, June 1.-THE state
troops marched into Clarke station yes
terday 500 strong with a gatling gun to
find that only about fifty miners had
stayed to face the music. The militia
were drawn up in line along the edge
of the woods and Sheriff Leming then
read the warrants against the miners
for riotous conspiracy and placed three
of the leaders, Squire Summers, Dick
Gate and John Flynn, under arrest,
bringing them to this city and placing
them in jail.
As soon as the troops were in line
the railroad men repaired the track
and the loaded cars were taken on
west.
The thousand miners who were re-
ported en- route to Clarke station did
not materialize yesterday morning,
neither had they collected at any point
along the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern. The certainty that the officers
intended to enforce the law seemed to
quell the rebellious feeling among the
men.
The miners say that as soon as the
troops are withdrawn they will again
stop all coal cars, but, anticipating
this, two companies will be stationed
at Clarke until all fear of trouble is
past Every man in this city is now
quiet, and there is general feeling of
relief among all classes. Trains loaded

Miners at Cripple Greek on the
Lookout for Deputies.
THEY INTEND TO GIVE BATTLE.
Desperate Stand to BE Made At Bun HIl
Miners Wives Organized to Care for
the Wounded-The Situation
In Indiana

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, June All day
yesterday the striking miners were on
the alert expecting that at any mo-
ment some of Sheriff Bowers deputies
would put in an appearance in some
remote portion of the camp Not
single miner is working in the camp.
One shift was put in on the Moose, Elk
ton, Prince Albert, Gold Dollar, Ing
ham, Jack e., and a few other proper
ties, but the managers of the several
mines were informed at noon that it
would be impossible to run any of
the properties at night. The men are
now confident that they will be at
tackled some time to-day. They are
ready, and this is so well known by the
deputies that the officer commanding
is using the utmost caution All men
not necessary to guard the approaches
to Bull hill, and forage for supplies,
have been massed about the fortifica-
ton, and their number is slightly over
1,sOO.
Yesterday the strikers made their
last forage for arms, ammunition and
supplies Fearing a siege, they have
filed hundreds of beer-kegs with water
and stored them in the fort Parties
have been drafting recruits. Many of
who promise to stand till the end
comes. The towns of Victor, Anacon-
da, Mound City and other places are in
the possession of squads of armed
strikers.
Tn plan of the strikers is to meet
the deputies and make as strong a
stand as possible, and if necessary re-
treat to Bull hill, where a desperate
stand will be made. The deputies
will be commanded in the field by w.
]. Palmer, leader of the army that had
so many scrimmages during the build
ing of the Denver & Rio Grande road.
He says that any moment the deputies
may advance to point beyond Mid
land, after which battle will be only
a question of hours.
The miners yesterday hailed with de-
light the words of Gov. Waite in re-
Spouse to Sheriff Bowers demand for
troops and they now look forward to a
battle, the end of which will be for
them either victory or determination.
Open threats against Colorado Springs
are made as a result of the treatment
of Gov. Waite and John Calderwood.
The wives of strikers refuse to leave
camp. Some of them have organized
to care for the wounded and others
have procured Winchesters and will
enter the fight.
The strikers know not what to do if
the militia is called out. They believe
Gov. Waite to be their friend, but while
here he said to the miners: THE law
has been violated, and 1 shall see that
it is enforced in the future at any
cost

killed herself. Seeger was an habitual

Brown Daily Herald.

Especially since coming under its new
and energetic management, the PRovI-
DENCE News claims the attention OF
college readers, as well as that of
others. THE News most creditably
performs the function of a live news
paper, giving in compact aud pre-
else manner the daily happenings that
are to be chronicled, and commenting
upon these in a discreet and fair-minded
spirit. The News especially commends
itself to college men by its friendly atti-
tude toward the university. 1t gives its
hearty support to the interests of Brown,
1t has already begun the publication, each
Saturday, OF news from the various
societies at college, and this is sure
to prove valuable and attractive. Not
few college men already know THE
NEWS and appreciate it, and there are
many more who ought to see the paper.
The management of the Sears Reading
Room would do well TO have THE News
on file in the reading room every day. As
city newspaper and as a champion of
Brown interests, it ought to be where he
students can read it.

SUGAR AND FINANCE COMMITTEE

Sugar common touched par yesterday,
and the spectators acted as though
they were in touch with those in Wash
ington who knew what changes were to
be made in the tariff, for, closely follow
ing the rise, came the announcement
that the Senate finance committee i'm
charge of the bill. had decided to change
the Sugar duty TO "ad valorem" with
Is ct. for refined sugar.
The changes and manipulations i'm the
sugar schedules may not be due to
criminal collusion between those in
charge of the tariff and the Sugar Trust
people, but it will be hard to convince
the public that this is so. Not change
has been made that the "insiders" have
not profited by, and it has been
openly charged that members of the
finance committee have profited by the
various changes. The stock has been
depressed on rumors and then elevated
on concessions made by the committee
to the Trust, and this has been done 80
often that the entire legislation in re-
gard to sugar is now looked upon~as
venal. An investigation into the rela-
lations existing between the finance
committee and the Sugar Trust would
probably not reveal anything, for such
relations are 100 closely covered up by
those interested, but the general public
can not help believing that the wrong
has been committed just the same.
