partly due to the drouth, though it has
been going on some lines fer some time.

estimate to say that 1000 men on the
Burlington system have been discharg-
ed since June J. During July, the
greatest number of employees were dis
missed from the service through no
fault of their own-because business
would not warrant their further con-
tinuance. Wherever possible forces are
being reduced section crews being cut
down, train and enginemen are given
men are being laid off, and clerks in
the various offices are required to work
additional time. In fact, wherever pos
sible, salaries are being saved and
forces reduced. 1t is impossible to say
just where this wholesale decapitation
will end
But the Burlington is not alone in re-
ducing forces. 1t is pretty generally

ST. LOUIS WAKES UP.
A Sensation That Would Do Credit
to Busting Chicago.


st. Louis, Aug. 21.-A warrant issued
late this afternoon for the arrest of
Philip Rohan, a wealthy boilermaker
here, and his son, on the charge of at
tempting abduction and highway rob-
berry, is likely to develop a sensation.
James Campbell, a broker, who Sc
cured the issuance of the warrant, al
legged Rohan met him last Friday morn
ing. demanded $4,000 and then, at the
point of a revolver, forced Campbell to
enter a carriage in which was Romans
son. The carriage was driven to
Rohan's rooms. Campbell alleges that
Rohan then ordered Campbell to go up
to the room. Campbell refused, and
then said he would so up If Rohan
would hand over the revolver to his
son. Rohan did so and Campbell, leap
ing out of the carriage, slammed the
door and ran to his office.
Several stories are afioat as to the
cause of Rohan's alleged action. One
is that the boilermaker, who has hypo-
thecated $4,000 worth of bonds with
Campbell, through a friend, to secure
a loan, took this method of securing
their return, after other means had
failed. Another and more probable
story is that Rohan secured the con-
tract for placing 100000 worth of boilers
in the power house of the municipal
electric lighting company. 1t is said
that Campbell, who became interested
in the company, found some fault with
the work, declaring the boilers defec-
tive, and refused to pay over the money
to Rohan.
Immediately after securing the war
rant, Campbell left for New York, &C
companied by his wife.

For lieutenant governor, the candi-

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. PA special
to the Journal from Sedan, Kan. says:
After lapse of four years, the coward
ly murderers of John S. Frazer, promi-
nent cattle dealer of this county, have
been captured. They are all prominent
farmers or business men living in this
vicinity and news of thea arrest mas
caused a sensation. Their names are:
Theodore F. Cox, Mark McBee. William
Licklister, John r. and Elmer Cox.
Theodore Cox is a blacksmith of How
ard, Kan; McBee, druggist in the
same town; John Cox, q brother of Theo-
dore, a hardware merchant at Moline,
KAN; Elmer, another brother, is a prom
inent citizen of Clinton, Mo-; while Lick
lister has been working in a straw board
factory at Muncie, Ind
The crime with which the men are
charged was one of the most cold FLOODED
ever committed in Kansas. In 1890 w. H
Gibson and j. S. Frazer were partners in
an extensive cattle business in Chaut-
auqua. They imported 1,40O head of Texas
steers to which the neighboring raisers
objected, fearing they would spread
Texas fever. Gibson and Frazer refused
to remove the cattle, however, and In
consequence was threatened with death
They paid no heed to threats, but in
May of that year Gibson was found dead
IN a hotel at Moline, Kan.
In June, Frazer was missed and after
a long search his body, covered with
knife cuts, was found in neighborine
stream.
Gibson's death was thought to have
been caused by heart disease, but the
finding of Frazer's body led to the MUIR
der theory. Since then search for the
murderers has quietly progressed, culmi-
believe to be the arrest of the active
participants.

STATE COAL CONVENTION.
A Desperate Effort Will Be Made TIC
Bring Order Out of Chaos.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-The coal
trade in Illinois is in such an unset
tied condition and miners are work
ing under such varying prices and con-
ditions that the industry is unprofta-
BILE to both owners and miners. In the
hope that order may be brought out
Iof chaos as President Crawford put it,
a state convention has been called to
meet in the city today. The objects of
the convention. as stated in the call,
are as follows:
First-The adjustment of a scale of
mining rates throughout mining dis
tricts Nos. 1, 2, 8, and 5.
Second-The establishment and main
tenance of a sub-district organization
throughout the various fields of the
state as. will be presented to the con-
vention by the state officials.
Third-The propagation and main
| tenance of the state Organization
| throughout Illinois, and for the trans
action of such other business as may
be constitutionally presented to the con-
vention.
| President Crawford says that in a
period of twenty-five years, during
which time he has been connected
with the business, he has never known
! the conditions to be so unsatisfactory
as at present There is no uniformity
| in prices, and the demand for the
product of the mines is so light that
| if all the mines in the state were run
| to their full capacity one and one-half
days per week, the result would be
sufficient for the market. In the
northern Illinois field where the mines
are in operation the rate paid in most
instances is about 10 cents per ton be-
low the scale agreed on in June last
at Springfield, Notwithstanding most
| of the mines in other parts of the
state are paying the full scale
The Springfield and the Peoria. and
Canton districts are all paying the
Springfield scale, with the exception of
the White Breast company, which OPP
lerateS the Dumfermline, the Buckhart
and the Bryant mines. This company
has imported 125 or 100 negroes from
Kentucky and Tennessee, but Presi-
dent Crawford says he has advices to
the effect that the negroes have de-
lcided to go out until the white men
go to work. In the Springfield district
the scale of 45 cents per ton is being
paid, but the mines are not in opera
ton over third of the tirne, the OPP
orators declaring that there is very
1 little demand for their product, as they
cannot compete in the market with
Pana coal, which is mined for 20 cents
lper ton.
The condition in the Danville dis
ltrict is unsatisfactory, owing, Presi-
ldent Crawford declares. to the viola
ton of the operators of written
agreement entered into with the min
ers. But little is being done in the
southern Illinois field. Some of the
Igreat consolidated companies mines
are in operation, others are not. So
lfar the miners are all at sea and do
mot know how the existing unsatisfac-
tory condition is to be remdied. but
|they are going to try to find remedy
lat today's convention.

Washington, Aug. 21.--A strong re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists has
been made by the committee on judi
ciary. The report says:
ut is admitted on all hands that the
question is one of very great impor-
tance, and that legislation on the sub.
ject is called for by every considera-
ton of public safety. The committee
advises that owing to the severe leg
islation recently adopted by France
4d Italy, a great many dangerous an
archists are making their way to the
United States and, as under existing
laws they cannot be denied admission
to our territory, the United States will
soon be the rendezvous of these hui
man monsters unless the proposed leg
islation is speedily adopted.
Your committee is of the opinion the
United States is fully justified by ex-
listing conditions in using all its pow
ers to prevent immigration and set
Element in this country of men who
repudiate all law, all government and
practically proclaim themselves as
the enemies of mankind.
Your committee has no disposition
to hamper the rigorous and prompt
execution of a law providing for the
exclusion and deportation of hundreds
or unnecessary proceedings or de-
lays, and is now willing to concede that
the superintendent of immigration and
secretary OF the treasury may be fully
trusted to confine the operation of the
law to those who are justly subject to
its provisions"
The report takes up the various OBJ
10 1A
sures and dispose of each of them
Concerning the objection that the bill
is faulty in not defining anarchy, the
report says:
las the meaning of the word is de-
fined as absence of government; the
state of society where there is no law OF
supreme power; a state of lawlessness
political confusion, and its meaning
we'll known. it is considered unneces-
sary to cucumber the act with a spec.
iai definition.
THE committee meets the objection
that a person should not be charged
with anarchy and deported without
jury, by saying:
1T would hardly be contended. we
suppose, that the government ought
to maintain a jury at every port OF
entry for the purpose of passing or
the qualifications of immigrants who
desire to enter, and as the emigrant
who desires to enter acquires no rights
not possessed by the foreigner who de-
sires to enter, we are unable to per.
ceive upon what principle jury tria'
is insisted upon in order to deport al
alien whose residence in the country
is considered detrimental to the pub
lie welfare
In conclusion, the report states tha-
there is full constitutional power fol
the enactment Of the proposed law and
that there is urgent necessity for the
Immediate passing of the bill

WANT COLONEL WATSON.
offered Command of n Division of
the Nil<ado's Army.

Riverside, CAL, Aug 21.-One of the
his relation to the present controversy
between Japan and China, and one
who is likely to prove an important
factor in direct way as he is certain
to in an indirect way, in the war now
WATSON, of Sedalia, Mo-, formerly a
we'll known officer in the United States
army. The Japanese government has
sent for Colonel WATSON and urged him
to repair at once to. the scene of con-
flict and there take command of one
division of the mikado's forces. He has
been asked to do this because of his
familiarity with the Japanese and their
methods and his known ability as a
commander The government officials
know this from Colonel Wasson's con-
nection with the Japanese army at one
time as a military instructor.
Years ago, during President Grants
first term, the mikado required of this
government that young military Of
ficer of marked ability be sent to Japan
to introduce into the Japanese army
American tactics and methods of war
fare 1t was a desira BILE and honorable
position, and President Grant selected
Colonel WATSON, a classmate at the
West Point Military academy and
close friend and great favorite. WATSON
had previously been sent upon SINH
lar mission to Egypt upon the request
of the khedive, and spent two years in
the Nile country instructing the mill
tary forces and earning considerable
renown for his tact and ability in that
line But it was in his relations with
Japan that he achieved his greatest
fame.
In 1874 he accompanied General Saigo
as chief of staff, with the rank of
colonel, in the expedition against For
mosa Colonel WATSON conducted the
expedition TO a successful termination.
The success of the enterprise and the
satisfactory manner in which 1t was
carried through so pleased the mlkado
that he bestowed upon Colonel WATSON
the decora ton of the rising sun of the
imperial order of Meiji a distinction no
other, foreigner ever enjoyed.
A warm personal friend of the colonel
residing in this city, is in receipt OF a
letter from the ex-soldier, giving the
facts as to the offer made by Japan.

AT KAYsvILLE.
The Eagle Will Scream There No
NOre-GeueraI Notes

The Eagle Will Scream There No
More-GeneraI Notes.
Kaysville, Aug. 21.-The Kaysville
Eagle is no more. Last weeks issue
came out as usual and it contained no
intimation that that paper was to be
the last. But yesterday morning the
proprietors, w. Earl and Fred 3.
Smith, quietly packed up their effects,
loaded them into wagon and started
south. 1t was learned later that their
destination was Spanish Fork. That
wagon contained the presses, type and
all the office furniture, and was not
heavily loaded at that. Whether the
intention is to publish a paper in Span
ish Fork, could not be ascertained
definitely, although there are rumors
to that effect.
The Eagle has been only short-lived,
but it may be truthfully said to have
outlived it's usefulness as a "moulder
of public opinion and if any tears are
shed for it's vanished greatness. they
will be tears of joy, for it has not been
a paper that has merited public patron
age.
Yesterday morning Ed and Andrew
Hansen were released from the county
Jail, where they have been held in Gus
tody awaiting the grand jury's action
on a charge of burglary. They were
alleged to have been implicated in the
burglarizing Of H. ]. Sheffield's store
here last June. Frank Brown, who
pleaded guilty to the same charge, was
the witness against the Hansens, and
his escape from the Jail two weeks ago
left no cause for action against his coll
leagues. The Hansen boys returned
to their home in Ogden yesterday after
noon.
/ The Pennington contingent of the
Utah National Guard-company X
went up to Lake Como, near Morgan,
yesterday. They were accompanied by
the Pennington military band and the
choir; in all probably $50 Davis county
people will spend this week at Lake
Como. A sham battle between the
Pennington and Morgan companies
will be one of the attractions. Several
Kaysville people accepted company KS
invitation, and have gone up to enjoy
the outing.

HERE AND THERE

Chin Chin, Chinese sport. was arrested
last night on the charge of keeping a
gambling house.
John Roe and S. Lewis INDUCED in a
stand up hand to hand fight in the reari
of the Cullen hotel last night. SergeanSt
Wire happend on the scene when the war
was fully on and arrested both the men.
Yesterday afternoon the parsonage of
the Congregational church at the corner
of First South and Fourth East streets.
was entered by burglars and completely
ransacked. The Rev. Brown and family
have been away for some weeks and the
house was locked up; it was therefore a
good mark for the housebreakers. A
great deal of valuable property has been
stolen. Officer Gillespie has the case in
hand and is working hard on it. The
police have a clue to the burglars and
they will in all probability soon be be-
hind the bars. The search for the stolen
property is being vigorously prosecuted.
