TESTING THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
A Well Known Mining Superintendent
and Two Engineers Under
Arrest.
Montana State Boiler Inspector Kelley

Accused.

DILLON. Mont, Aug. T.-Capt. j. A.
Prideauy. superintendent OF the Jay
hawk and Lone Pine Consolidated Min.
ing company, at Ponsonby, and John
Tarbilf and Frank Maddic, two engi,
neers employed by the company, were
arrested last Thursday by Constable
Mullany of this city for violating the
eight-hour law. The complaint in this
case was sworn to by State Boiler In
spector Kelly. Mr.. Prideaux is charged
with influencing his engineers to work
over eight hours and the engineers with
working over eight hours. To prevent
the complete shut down of the mines the
engineers were released on bonds and
will be represented at the trial by their
attorney, Emmett Callahan. Mr.. Prid'
eaux came to Dillon and was arraigned
Friday morning in Judge Holden's court
lie pleaded not guilty to the charge and
was released on a bond Of 500. The
bonds of the two engineers were fixed a,

The statements of customs officers,
however, differed from Senator Jones.
They asserted that the strict letter and
punctuation Of tariff bills and not con-
gressional intention are followed by the
courts. 1t is thought quite probable
that the matter eventually may have to
be settled by judicial construction OF

that a curative act be not passed by con.

Union Pacific Road No Longer In Charge

OMAHA, Aug. 17.-General Brooks Of
the department Of the Platte has made
his report to the war department Of the
withdrawal of troops from the Union Pa
cifc system and the total suspension Of
federal interference throughout the west.
The Union Pacific receivers expect some
trouble when the discharged employees
families are evicted from the company's
property, but troops are thought no
longer necessary. Over 1000 men have
been formally discharged from the Union
Pacific as the result Of the great strike
and others are replaced easily. Twenty
engineers and fremen are included in
the list. Some Of the engineers and fire.
men, particularly on on the west end,
were with the company for twenty years
and upward. In most cases the men do
not blame the company for the action
taken, saying that they were misled by
the A. r. U. and that they made a mis-.
take in going out at all. Notwithstand-
ing the feeling that ran riot along the
Wyoming and Idaho division, only two
engineers were discharged.

ANOTHER COAL COMBINE
Operators at MassillOn Will Pool Issues
and Dictate Terms to the
Miners.
II the Men DO Not Agree to the Seized
ule Places Will BE Filled with
New Ones.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 1.-THE Mas
sillon coal mine operators took an i'm
portant step at a meeting held here to-
day, looking to the resumption of work
at their mines. There are twenty-five
mines in the Masslllon district, and they
employ when working full about 1000
men. 1t was decided today to form a
corporation with a capital of 100000
to which all these mines will be trans
ferred and by which they will be oper-
ated. The object of the forming of the
corporation is to reduce the operating
expenses and to enable the operators to
make terms with their men, who have
been on a strike since February for a diff
%ferential rate of Is cents a ton more than
g paid in the other districts of the state.
The operators today adopted a new
schedule Of wages based on the 6O-cent
rate adopted by the Columbus conven-
ton. 1t is proposed to cheaper the cost
Of miners supplies so that they will save
: cents a ton, and also to give them their
house coal at a lower price. This with
the 60 cents a ton is all the operators
will pay. If the schedule is not accepted
by Saturday, Aug. %, the operators
agree to clear the mines Of all tools and
declare the places of the miners vacant
and open to other workmen.

WAsHINGToY, Aug. 1S.-When Sena-

UNANIMOUS NOMINATION

Race for Governor of the
Great State.

PARIS, Aug. 17.-It is stated that a
representative of the Associated Press
had an interview with ex-Vice President
Levi P. Morton in regard to his political
prospects and the movement in New
York to tender him the republican nomi-
nation for governor. Mr.. Morton, who
appears to be in excellent health, reiter.
ated the statements which he made Aug.
10. He said he had not written a letter
expressing his willingness to accept the
governorship Of New York. and when
asked pointedly IL he would accept the
nomination he said he considered it the
better policy for the good Of the party
and its chance in November not to make
any statement upon this important sub
ject until he had time to communicate
personally with the republican party in
New York. The Associated Press rep
resentative gathered, however, from his
conversation with Mr.. Morton that il it is

in New York that Morton should accept
the nomination for governor he will

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Ae o o as
the reading of the journal in the senate
was completed, Harris, on behalf Of the
democratic steering committee, moved
that the senator of California (White),
be appointed to the vacancy on the
finance committee caused by the death
Of Vance. Chandler interposed an OBJ
lection. Harris made the point Of order
that his motion was privileged because
it looked to the organization Of the SEN
ate. Chandler remarked ~sarcastically
that it was a little late to begin the or.
ganization Of the senate. Senator Muir
ply offered a resolution in the senate
today to the effect that there shall be nc
further legislation on the tariff at this
session, in view Of the Carlisle letter.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1S.-The United
States gunboat Bennington, having on
board ex-Vice President Ezeta and three
other fugitivss from San Salvador, was
sighted late last night about thirty miles
out from the Golden Gate. They were
met by Lieut.. Stoney, aide to the com
mandment at Mare Island navy yard, on
board the tug Sea King, who delivered
the dispatches from Washington order
ing the Bennington to remain outside
until further instructions. General Ezeta
and his brother refugees viewed the ap-
proach of the tug with apprehension,
which was changed to CONSERVATION
when they learned that the gunboat was
to be detained at sea awaiting the ar
rival from Washington of documents at
fecting their freedom. They made at
tempts to send letters ashore by the crew
of the Sea King, but Commander
Thomas of the bennington kept them
carefully under his eye and frustrated
their plans.

It Is Alleged That Large Numbers Of
COrean Troops Are in the

VICTORIA, b. G.. Aug. 1S.-The steamer
Empress of Japan arrived yesterday
from the orient, having left Yokohama
Aug. j. War was formally declared Aug.
3, the proclamation being received with
every token Of rejoicing throughout
Japan, and offers of men and means
coming from all corners OF the empire.
Owing to the enactment Of new press
regulations on Aug. l, the Japanese pa.
pers gave only meagre details, strongly
colored for Japanese readers, Of the war
happenings. The new laws direct that
editors publishing anything regarding
the war without it first being formally
corrected and approved by government
officers, appointed for that purpose, are
liable to Imprisonment with hard labor
for a term of months and a fine as we'll.
Details of the engagement which result
ed in the sinking of the British steamer

May BE o Murder.

WASHINGTON, Aug. $50. p. Tucker,
deputy comptroller of the currency,
today received a telegram from a govern
ment official at Altoona, Pa, stating that
it was doubtful whether Bank Exam
liner Miller committed suicide as re-
ported. An officer of the bureau will
likely be sent to Altoona with Miller's
report on the condition Of the suspended
bank and an effort made to arrive at a
solution of the mystery. 1t is under
stood that Miller's report shows that the
bank was practically without assets and
that the shortage both in cash and bills
receivable, traceable to the speculations
of the absconding cashier, Gardner, will
amount approximately to $4,000.

The Committee n Tie.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-There is a
prospect that il the republican members
Of the finance committee insist that the
democrats shall fill the vacancy on the
committee before action is taken on the
supplemental bills, the democratic SEN
ators will have trouble in reaching a de-
cision upon this point. While the ques-
ton has not been taken up formally by
the democratic steering committee, there
is a general understanding that the ma
jority Of the democratic senators have
united upon Senator White for the place.
White is an advocate of the free coinage
OF silver, and probably will be opposed
by senators who do not agree with him
on that subject. There are also indica-
tions that the democratic senators who
are opposed to the supplemental bills will
oppose any action at this time, on the
ground that the place is too important
to be filed in any emergency like this.
The senate finance committee met at III
o'clock today to further consider the free
sugar and other seperate tariff bills.
The republican members said they
could not take the responsibility Of re-
porting these bills. The republicans
have four members Of the committee
here and as the democrats have but the
same number the former do not propose
to have the democrats counted as five
The committee adjourned and a meeting
OF the democratic leaders was held to
consider the filling of the vacancy.

committee. While there was come OPP
position on the part Of members opposed
to the supplemental tariff bills, a large
majority was favorable to the selection.
The attempt in the senate to fill the va
cancy by the appointment of White was
objected to by Chandler. The republic
INT insisted that the motion must go
over under the rules. After a spirited
contest Harris motion for the appoint
ment Of White was withdrawn. Harris
later put the motion in the form Of a

JAPANESE BLUFF
The Commander Of Their Forces Makes
Comparison Between the
Two Countries.
As TO FIGHTING ABILITY
The War Will Test the Merits OF Steel
ArmOred Vessels for the
First Time.

VICTORIA, b. c., Aug. 16.-The big
steamer Tacoma, fifteen days out from
Hong Kong, arrived at this port shortly
after noon. The weather log is brief.
So far 81 could be gathered popular
feeling in Yokohona is at concert pitch.
A number Of leading merchants have
made contributions Of rice and saki, and
all is hurry, hustle and fighting talk.
Lieut.. Gen. Takashima expressed him.
self as follows at Osaka: "The military
equipment Of. Japan became perfected by
degrees since the organization Of d.
visions in 1889. At present the Japanese
army need not fear any country in the
world, with the exception Of three or
powers. In comparing their navy with
that Of China, Japan is inferior in point
tonnage by some $4,000 tons, but China
has vessels with a speed Of only twelve
knots, while Japan has vessels Of eighteen
knots. As to skill in arms China lie not
a match for Japan. Moreover she has
only thirty vessels of the Chinese Mer-
chants S. N. company as transports.
which she requires for the transportation
Of rice for the interior. But Japan has
about sixty steamers of over 1000 tons
for that purpose, if the recently pur.
chased steamers be added. As it is the
first occasion on which steel armored
squadrons are to engage in combat, for
eign powers will regard with attention
the issue Of the naval engagements.
Thus the present occasion is worthy Of
our fullest e~xertion and it will be q good
opportunity to show the whole world
our military strength"
Since the naval fight at Fusen, the
running Of Japanese steamers between
Jensen and Fusen has been suspended.
General travel on the smaller oriental
lines is very much broken and news OF
an authentic nature is difficult to obtain.
In Yokohama it is believed that China's
plan will he to march troops into Corea
by way of With, and the Japanese gov
eminent is said to be taking steps &C.
cordingly. The Funkien authorities
have ordered some Lock Ching battal-
lions to proceed to Foo Chow, and
'braves" are being enlisted to strengthen
the forces in Funkien. Garrisons Of the
Mingan forts are daily practicing with
their big guns and are prepared to give
a good account Of themselves should the
Japanese war ships make any attempt on
the arsenal at Padoga anchorage. In
telligence is said to have been received
in Toxic to the effect that the Chinese
man-of-war Kootsu, which fled eastward
to the Corean coast after the engage
ment on the 25th OF July, reached Ga
san, where her crew abandoned her and
landed and that the Japanese man-of-
war followed and captured her at Bysau.
While the Japanese soldiers were pro-
ceeding toward Taigen Few laying q line
Of defense, over 800 Chinese soldiers as
sembled and entered the lines, whereby
a collision occurred between them. The
Chinese troops opened fire, which was
responded to by the Japanese soldiers.
Field guns put the Chinese to flight and
they sustained a loss of $50 killed ant
ITO injured.
