THAT LABORERS, ORDER.
1t Created Much Adverse Comment
Before 1t Was Revoked.

1t Created Much Adverse Comment
Before 1t Was Revoked.
As stated in Saturdays Star. the Com
missioners at a late meeting Of the board
Saturday afternoon revoked the order re-
ducing the pay Of unskilled laborers in the
District Of Columbia from $3.50 to 81 per
day. The order was passed last Thursday
and created considerable adverse comment
in all circles. When the order was read to
the workmen they did not know what to
do. These laborers are the poorest paid
employees of the District government, re-
ceiving compensation only for the time
actually made. and losing all holidays and
rainy days. In the winter time the works
are shut down. and they have hard time
struggling along. A reduction, such as was
ordered, meant privation to them.
Many Of the men have large families, and
they protested in their humble way against
the order.
When Commissioner Ross arrived at the
District buildir g he had determined to call
q special meeting of the board and make a
motion to revoke the order. He did not
have a chance Until after o'clock. When
the board convened he made the motion.
which was argued at some length before 1t
was finally agreed to.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, June A.
Preparations for a strikers war are going
rapidly forward here, arms and ammuni-

sand rounds OF ammunition from Chicago
arrived today.
A reign OF terror exists in this city. Wo-
men and children are being removed Ia
places OF safety. The general belief is that
the deputies will advance against the
strikers on Bull Hill today or tomorrow.
1t is reported that Gen. Palmer. who built
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, will be
in command Of the deputy army, and
Charles Adams In direct charge of the cav
airy.
The fighting force on Bull Hill was in

coal miners from Fremont county, and
now numbers about 800 men.
1t is reported here that over 1000 deputies
have taken a train at Divide for Midland,
the terminus of the Midland Terminal rail-
way, and will proceed at once to Bull Hill.

PROPOSED NIGHT SESSIONS.

Have TO Furnish n Quorum

"
Senator Aldrich says that the republi.

proposition to proIong the daily session OF
the Senate and intimates that II an at
tempt is made to keep the Senators at WORK
beyond the usual hours IT will be necessary
Tor the democrats to furnish their own
quorum.
Mr.. Aldrtch is not exactly accurate in
this. inasmuch as there are several Of the
silver Senators who say that they are will
ing to remain in the Senate to keep a quo
rum as long as the session may last
make up for the democratic absentees is
the question. All Mr.. Harris wants. of
course. is TO save time and hasten the
vote on the bill. and II he has any pros
pect OF a vote on the sugar schedule be-
fore the close Of this week. he viii prob
ably not press the proposition for sessions
extending into the night.
" hat the democrats are praying for now
is a spell of hot weather. With the tradi-
tional regard for comfort held by the Sen
ate IL is believed that a week OF very hot
weather would hasten the vote on the bill.
The expectation is that the vote on the
sugar schedule will be reached before the
close Of this week and the indications are
that there Is no motion antagonistic to the
position of the finance committee which can
carry.
The difficulty of keeping a quorum to-
gether IN the Senate tonight was demon
strated during the afternoon. when, on a
call for quorum from the republican side
during speech by Mr.. Blanchard. forty
seven Senators answered to their Names
or whom not more than thirty were demo-
Gratis. The quorum tonight will have TO be
made up almost entirely of democrats as it
Is probable the republicans will refuse to
vote on some motion purposely put. No
matter then how many Senators may re-
spond TO roll call. there will have to be
forty-three voting on any proposition before
the Senate can go on with its debate SEN
ator harris hopes to keep the Senate in
session until 10 O'Clock
