Situation mt Spokane.

SPOKANE, April 14.-The strike of the
Great Northern employees, on the return
of Conductor McGuane from st. Paul
conference, was precipitated at noon
Yesterday.
The agent of the union was engaged
in completing the polling of all the
conductors and breakmen, giving every
man an opportunity to place himself on
record with reference to the acceptance
of the reduction of wages. Just how
the vote stood is not made public, but
it is said to have been practically unan-
imous in support of the views enter
tanned and expressed at the St. Paul
conference. That is, the men declare
that they will not accept the reduction
ordered to take effect after April /, and
will abandon the work rather than en-
ter into a contract to that effect.
The men argue that the existing scale
was established on hard times basis
and is even today too low, at that
They accordingly demand the restora
tion of the schedule in effect up to Aug
| of last year.

Mayor Denny VIII Revoke Thsir Licenses
If They DO Not Obey the Law.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 16.-The boldness
with which the saloonkeepers have con-
tinued to defy the law by selling liquor
on Sunday and after IL O'Clock at night
has led the city authorities to determine
to revoke the licenses of the offenders.
The saloon men have been promptly ar
reJted for violations and as promptly
fined in the police court, where the
cases drag along so that convictions are
impossible. Finding that violations are
not decreasing and that certain saloon
keepers are disposed to defy the law,
Mayor Denny announces that he will re-
woke or suspend the licenses of those
saloonkeepers reported to him as defy
ing the law. He stated today that the
greatest opposition to the enforcement
of the liquor law comes from the large
downtown saloon men, who apparently
are making a deter mined fight. The
smaller outside saloons, he says, could
be easily handled If 1t were not for the
course pursued by the downtown places

THE STRIKE A SURPRISE


GREAT FALLS, April 14.-No railroad
in any city was ever tied up more COM
pletely than the Great Northern was
here yesterday afternoon. At noon
every man obeyed the order of the
American Railway Union and quit. A
long train of loaded coal cars left on
the bridge giving access to the city
prevented the west-bound express from
coming to this side of The river. Per-
mission was given to go on to Butte,
but there was no dispatcher to give it
clearance. The trades and labor couu-
ell has indorsed the strike, and at a
meeting the merchants offered assist
ance. Not a wheel turns. The ore
supply of the big Boston and Montana
smelter is cut Off. There is no disturb
ance. The strikers have appointed a
committee to protect the property of
the company.

ST. PAUL, April i6.-An answer has
been filed in the case of the state
against the Shevlin-Carpenter Lumber
company, in which the company denies
that it has unlawfully taken any timber
from state lands, denies cutting state
timber worth $685. 900 and in detail de-
MES the charges in the original suit for
an accounting and for the payment OF

CAVALRY ORDERED OUT.


Red Moon Indians May Resist the Provo
cations of the Cow Men.
WICHITA, Kan, April 16 Information
received from Fort Reno says that a
troop of cavalry has been dispatched to
the Red Moon district in Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country, the scene of the re-
cent fight between the whites and In
dams against the threatened extermi-
nation by the COW men. 1t seems that
the COW men demanded the surrender
of redskins who killed Breeding, and
when Farmer Hartman, in charge of the
district, permitted representatives of
the cow men to 60 to the Indian camp
to pick out the alleged culprits, they
pretended to identify two Indians who
it is known were not in the district at
the time of the killing. There was an
attempt to lynch these TWO men by the
cowboys, which was frustrated. The
Red Moon Indians have now left their
district and have gone to join old Chief
Whirlwind, who is Just in mood to
start them on the warpath If the cattle
men should give them much more provo
- tion

KANSAS WHEAT IN BAD CONDITION
Warmers VIII Plough Up Many of the
Fields and RepiAnt Them.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 16.-The first crop
report issued this year by the state
board of agriculture shows bad con-
dition for the growing wheat crops in
many sections of the state. OF the 105
counties ninety-three report the pres
ent as above 80 per cent. of an average
condition; eighty-six counties, 60 per
cent. or above; hfty-nine counties, 80
per cent. or above; thirty-six counties,
90 per cent. or above, and in sixteen
counties it Is given as 100 to ITO per
cent. The reports upon which these
figures were made, 1t must be remem-
bered, were complied by the boards
correspondents during the latter days
of March, ten days ago. During that
time there had been no general rain In
the state and the plant has suffered very
much. Parties from the western part
of the state say the dust storms have
been very violent in many localities and
that not half crop will be raised under
the most favorable conditions. Secre-
tary Coburn's information comes from
600 correspondents. In several sections
the wheat will be ploughed up Discus
sing this matter the secretary says:
''Deducting the area which cores
pondents say will be ploughed up, there
is left full 5000, 900 acres of wheat, and
its condition is 1875 per cent. of good
average. In 1893, when Kansas pro-
duced its great wheat crop of more than
100000 900 bushels, the acreage was a.,
$50, 900 and condition March 81, as COM
pared with a normal or full average,
set down at IS per cent. There are
nearly 100000 bushels of old wheat 10
the farmers bins now"

WILL TRY TO KEEP coxeY OUT.
Details of the Washington Police Are
Kept "a Secret.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The details of
the police movement of this city against
Coxey are kept secret. No doubt he
will be met at the district limits and II
the nun bers of his army are too great
for the police to cope with the local
militia will be called to their aid. What
to do with the army when 1t arrives
and is taken into custody, If 1t should
be, is difficult question, because the
'jails and station houses of Washington
will not accommodate such a crowd.
To simply repulse the men and forbid
them to enter the district would be to
turn them lose on the suburban resi-
dents of Virginia and Maryland, and
this is an aspect of the matter which
gives rise 10 much uneasiness here.
Major Moore has received letter
from the chief of police of Allegheny
City describing the Coxey men in most
uncomplimentary terms. He declares
that there are several professional
criminals in their ranks, that four
burglaries were committed by them
while they were in his town and that
there would have been more depreda-
tions but for the close police surveillance
over the army during its stay.
| Colonel Redstone, the Washington
representative of Coxey, said concern
ing the men arrested last night: "This
body of men is not at all connected
with the commonweal army, as no
Coxey men will come on until word is
previously sent to our headquarters
and none will come in disorder or with.
out military discipline. There will be
no resistance of the law and none OF
the men will enter the city as body
until the main line arrives"

HELENA, April 1.-THE strike of the

men uncoupled the mail car, and the
engine and mail car was ready to pro-
coed. No orders having been received
to move the train, at the expiration of
Is minues, J. ID. Dunn, official represen-
tative of the American Railway Union,
stepped on the platform and gave notice
that they were raady and willing TO
move the mail train, and if it was not
moved it was not the fault of the men.
They would run the train to Great
Falls If the superintendent would give
the orders. Fifteen hundred men are
now out

GEORGIA MOB LYNcAes A NEGRO
He Had Assaulted Woman in n Help
less Condition.

GREENSBORO, Ca, April 15.-Friday
afternoon a negro giving his name as
Billie Anderson went 20 the home of Dan
Chambers, four miles east of here, dur
ing the gentleman's absence and as
saulted the gentleman's wife. The wo-
man was helpless and was easily over
powered. Citizens of the community
captured Anderson and carried him
before Mrs. Chambers, who identified
him. The negro confessed the crime
and 1t took cool heads to keep him
from being lynched Immediately.
He was brought to town and turned
over TO Sheriff English, who placed him
In Jail. Public sentiment was so out
ragged by the Nervousness of the offense
that demand was made on the sheriff
for the keys, but he refused, and mat
tiers apparently quoted down. AS a
safeguard the sheriff called upon the
Green rifles to guard the Ill, which
they did, and dispersed a crowd last
night At an early hour this morning
not experimenting further trouble, the
guard was dismissed, and repaired to
their home to sleep.
In the meantime a crowd arrived
from another county and demanded the
keys from the sheriff, who again re-
fused. The crowd was too determined
to be stayed, and broke down the all
doors with sledge hammers and crow
bars. The sheriff and mayor of the
town pleaded delay to no avail and be-
fore a posse could be assembled the
crowd had the criminal and was on the
way to the place where he was exc
cuted. A message was received toe
late from Governor Northern calling
out the rifles. The criminal was car
ried about one mile from the town ant
hanged 10 a pine tree and his body
rlddled with outlets.
