impracticable in the Judgment Of the
president to enforce by the ordinary
course Of judicial proceedings the laws Of

that the purpose of enforcing the faith
full execution of the laws of the United
States and protecting its property and
removing distractions to. the United
States mails in the state and city afore-
said, the president has employed a part
Of the military forces Of the United
States. Ar .&
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by admonish all good citizens and all
persons who may be or may come within

ing any part in such unlawful obstruc-
lions, combinations and assemblages to
dispense and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes on or before II clock.
noon, on the 9th day of July, inst y&s
Those who disregard this warning and
persist in taking part with a riotous mob
in forcibly resisting and obstructing the
execution of the laws Of the United
States or interfering with the functions
of the government or attempting to de-
stroy or destroy the property belonging
to the United States or under it's pro-
Iol 18th r.xx-ico
than as public enemies. Troops en-
ployed against such riotous mob will
act with all moderation and forbearance
consistent with the accomplishment OF
: the desired end, but the necessities that

nit discrimination between guilty par
| Elephants and those who are mingled with

raigned. They are charged with con
splracy to commit an unlawful act, that
ls, to block the progress Of the United
States nails
Il Joined in the indictment with the four
leaders of the railway union was James
I Merwin, the Rock Island striker who
threw the switch which dcrailed a mail
train at Blue Island OH the night of
June 30. Debs. Howard, Keleher and
Rogers were taken into the office Of
District Attorney Milchrist Immediately
after their arrest, and after few hours
detention, were released on bail by Judge
Grosscup, their bonds being $4,000 each.
The federal grand jury spent but
short time on the case Of Debs and the
other leaders Of the strike. The case
against them for conspiracy had been pre-.
pared some days age by Attorneys Mil
christ and Walker, and the grand jury
had not been at work two hours when
the indictment was ready to be presented
to the court. It was based on some Of
the public utterances of Debs and the
other leaders, and this was clinched by
! the original orders in writing sent out by
Debs directing men on the different rail-
ways to quit their work and thus stop
ping the running of all mail trains A
| large number of kilograms sent by Debs
and from his headquarters giving direc-
| tons which extended the blockade Of the
trains were submitted to the grand jury
by d. M. milford, manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, under a
subpoena issued by the United States
court, Judge Grosscup overruling the tel
egraph company's protest that the mes
sages were privileged documents and OK.

Forty-One Onicials-Many Arrests
VANCOUVER. b. c., May 24.-Through
advices received by the steamship En-
press. of India. it is learned that the
trouble that had been brooding in
Corea had taken definite shape and
Chinese soldiers were being poured
into the country
The first outbreak occurred at the
Sing-la-Too. but it was premature
through the misunderstanding of ar
rangements of insurgent plans by the
persons at the head of the movement
at that point 1t had been the inten-
ton to have uprisings all over the
country simultaneously and so par
alyze the officials and get complete
control before help could be secured.
Three thousand fully armed men
suddenly mustered and before the
guards could recover from their sur
prise the governors palace was in
their possession No mercy was shown
and the governor and his forty officials
were put to death, the more detested
of them being horribly mutilated.
Before the troops could be gathered
the insurgents were on the march to
Zeeoul. To this point 600 Chinese sol
diers have been dispatched. but at the
date of the dispatch it was feared that.
fred by success. the rebels would over
come all opposition.

light being furnished by a pale moon

and much of the fire was wasted. The
fighting waged fercely for half an
hour. The deputies finally succeeded
in driving the strikers back.

ARmoR PLATE FRAUDS.
Damaging Testimony of Congressman Dun
ply Before the Investigating Commit

Damaging Testimony of Congressman DUN
phy Before the Investigating Commit
tee.
WASHINGTON. Nav 25.-The congress
sional investigation into frauds and ir-
regularities in naval armor plate began
yesterday with open doors Repre-
sentative Dunphy stated his informa-
ton came from documents sent to the
departments from official papers and
from the newspapers. Mr. Dunphy's
statement detailed the early discovery
of Irregularities and the investigation
made by the navy department. which
led to the fining of the Carnegie COM
pany. He said armor plate had been
tested at the Indian Head proving
grounds and had been found defective.
1t had then been retreated to overcome
the defects.
''Was this retreatment in secret?
asked Chairman Cummings
Mr.. Dunphy answered in the affirma-
tive. He said that one plate was
picked out as a sample of large num-
Der of plates, amounting to 34s tons.
When this secret retreatment had
been made it served to pass the sample
plate, and that in turn passed the en-
tire 34s tons of armor.
He then spoke of blow-holes in the
armor of the Monitor Terror. Experts
had gone to the navy yard and had act
uallv located two blow-holes which
had been filed up to deceive the
government. Similar blow-holes ex-
listed in the armor of many other
ships. but it was impossible for the
experts to locate the defects. as the
ships were abroad at their stations.
The first charges covered 200 de-
fective plates In some cases pebbles
had been dropped into blowholes. In
others calling card had been dropped
in. This was done by the worhmen as
a means of detecting the blowholes,
Recent charges covered not only armor
plates. but the bolts and screws secur-
ing the plates.
In conclusion Mr.. Dunphy said: My
information is that the defective plates
will be found on the Oregon. the
Machias. the Castine. the Monadnock-
the Cincinnati. the Terror. the New
York and the Monterey. and that the
exact position of the plates on each Of
these vessels can be located by the par
ties who made the complaint. and whose
names the committee will be able to
obtain from the evidence on file in the
office of the secretary of the navy.
My object in offering the original
resolution of inquiry was, first, that
the government might save perhaps
millions of dollars by the discovery OF
those great frauds. and secondly. that
if our cruisers and battleships had
plastered on their sides or elsewhere,
armor plates 50 defective as to lessen
their effectiveness or safety. the govern
ment upon discovery of it might take
proper steps to remedy those evils and
provide for the proper effectiveness
and safety of the vessels" He added
the defective plates located by the gov
eminent experts had been estimated
to be worth 5000 to S1.000.000.
