They Decline to Pay the Scale Demanded
by the Miners.
SPErNGFrELD, Ills, June 19.-Commit-
tees Of miners throughout the Springfield
sub-district presented n scale of prices
to each operator and requested acquiese-
ence in the demands. The operators re-
fused and will hold n convention today in
this city. They say the miners demands
are extravagant. being 10 cents more than
what was paid when the strike was
inaugurated, and that they will not pay
them. Charles Ridgely. president of the
Consolidated Coal company, owner of
eighty.three mines in southern Illinois,
declined to state at present what action
his company would take, Secretary Guy
man, Of the state Miners union, said
some individual mine operators of the
Springfield district had offered to pay the
scale demanded by the miners, but ON the
condition that the operators all over the
state would pay the scale. The Miners
union would not agree to this.

hundred members of the Seventh reri-

unruly miners who for the past week have
been conducting things here with such a

ing, breaking Car sest6, and when coal was
found not permitting it to be carried
through the city, but unloading and TAX

coupin) county last week found indict-
ments, and warrants were issued for the
arrest OF lilo miners SO charged. Last Sat
ur,iay night United States Marshal Brin-
ton and his seven assistants made an effort
to arrest the guilty ones on these warrants,
but To no avail, rs they were surrounded
by the angry miners and forced to release
their prisoners.
Owing to the presence of the militia the
guilty ones are now being arrested as fast

authorities. y committee was appointed
to telegraph Governor Altgeld asking him

did not want the disgrace of having it
said that their presence was needed here
IL was all TO no avail, however, as the

THE BOND SYNDICATE
1t is Making Payments of Gold in Large
Amounts.
The Whole sum Expected to b.
Covered Into the Treasury In
the Next Two Weeks.

The syndicate that subscribed for the en-
tire S5o.000,0OO per cent loan is making
large deposits of gold in the various sub
treasures In payment for the bonds. The
amount already paid in on this account
satisfies officials of the Treasury Depart
ment that the subscribers mean to pay for
the bonds at once, without taking advan-
tege of the privilege OF paying in five in
stallments at intervals of ten days.
The reason for this is that they have the
necessary gold in stock. and that early
payments will effect a saving in interest.
1t is therefore probable that the entire
sum of s5S,000,0O0 realized by the govern
ment on this bond transaction will be COW
cred into the treasury within the next two
weeks, instead of Withholding the money
for deposit under the proposed installment
plan. Assurances have been given that no
gold will be withdrawn from the subtreas-
uries to meet the payments due on the
loan. Consequently, the gold received Will
be net gain to the treasury gold fund.

A BATTLEOF PRINCIPLE
What Representative Curtis Thinks Of the
Recent Elections.
Sober Judgment Of the People-Not
Much VIII De Done at the Com
ing Session of Congress.

Representative Curtis Of New York
reached town last evening. lie says that
the campaign which resulted in such VIC
tory to the republicans was entirely i'm
personal and as nearly a battle Of princi-
pie as could be had. The people. he said,
thought the matter over for themselves
and acted on their own Judgment, delib-
erately formed He regards the result Of
the election, therefore, as a triumph Of
republican principles. a sober judgment Of
the people In favor of the policy which
the republicans advocated. He does not
look for much legislation at this Congress
beyond the appropriation bills.
The Popaun Tariff Bills.
"The democrats may" he says, pass
some one OF their popgun tariff bills, but
I do not believe they WILL do not believe
they will have much disposition to do 80.
This talk about some general financial
plan I do not think will amount to very
much, either. I do not think that any
measure. either Of makeshift character
or presenting permanent plan, will be
adopted. The silver question or the finan-
cial question In any form cannot displace
the tariff as an issue. Until the tariff
fight Is finally settled and that policy which
the people approve Of is permanently es-
tablished the tariff is bound to be q lead
ing political issue, and the financial ques-
uon must be secondary. After the tariff
is settled will come the settlement of the
other question. There can be no scheme
devised to fit the occasion.
What a Financial System Must In
cIude.
when we have a financial system es-
tablished 1t will have to include the free
and general use of silver. There can be no
makeshifts or halfway measures, for moth
ing short Of the general use of silver will
satisfy the people or fulfill requirements Of
trade. / am not in favor of bringing this
about by the adoption OF bill for the FREQ
and unlimited coinage of silver at this time,
but think that II can be and will be in a
short time accomplished by international
agreement. While the interests of the
banker class in England are served by a
gold standard, 1t hampers business men
and the trade and commerce of that coun-
try, and they will ultimately have to agree
in the use of silver"
Gen. Curtis said that he thought II was
altogether too soon TO say anything about
the policy of the republican Congress; that
that would all have to be formed after lead
ers had got together and talked the matter
over but that the issue in 'e6 would still be
the tariff.

SOLD LOTTERY TICKETS.
Another Agent Sent to Jail for Three
Months.


Judge Miller had another lottery case
before him In the Police Court this morn
ing, and as a result of 1t Eugene Blumen-
thai of New York city was sent to Jail for
three months.
Blumenthal, who claimed to be a drum
mer for a New York tobacco house, was
observed by Policeman c. III. King offering
lottery tickets for sale In drug store near
2Oth and N streets yesterday. He was fol-
lowed by the policeman to Heurich's brew
cry. where he was placed under arrest. Up
on searching him the tickets in the next
drawing of the Hamburg lottery were
seven persons to whom he had sold tickets
explanatory of the lottery. letter was
found upon him from the Honduras lottery
company, in which ii was stated that a
person becoming an agent of the company
would be allowed to draw a large portion
OF the capital prize.
The prisoner was charged this morning
with having In his possession for trans
fer certain lottery tickets. He pleaded
guilty, but denied having sold or attempted
to sell any tickets here. His story was not
swallowed by the court, however, the judge
remarking that the man was unquestion-
ably in the lottery business. 1T seems"
said Judge Miller, that this business Is
springing into existence again here, and
there is no doubt but that this man propos-
cd doing a big business. But the business
cannot thrive here, and the defendant must

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
He il Only Suffering From Rheumatic
GOut and il Better.

In view of the circulation Of rumors to
the effect that the condition Of President
Cleveland is much worse than has been
represented. his private secretary, Mr..
Thurber. was today asked for statement
of the facts. In response he said that the
President has been suffering from an acute
attack of rheumatism or rheumatic gout
He has been subject to these attacks for
years past and the present one is by no
means more severe than others he has
experienced. For a couple of day he was
confined to his bed. but he has passed the
most violent stage of his malady, and
although still suffering some pain. is work.
ing at his message, which he writes HIM
self, and Is making such progress that 1t
will certainly be ready for delivery to
Congress on the first day of the session,
unless something unfoI eseen occurs. The
President does his work sitting In an easy
chair, with his afflicted part resting on a
cushion, and lies down at intervals, when
ever the limbs become painful. His condi-
tion is steadily improving, and 1T is ex-
pected that he will be able to get about in
q few days. Inasmuch as he will hardly
be able to come into the city before Sun
day next at the earliest the probabilities
are that a meeting of the cabinet will be
held at Woodley on Friday or Saturday
next to consider congressional matters.
