STRIKERS IN CONTROL.

A Sheriff and Posss dispersed by Miners
at Marion, Ills.
MARION, Ills, June 5.-Sheriff Dowell
of this county is powerless to preserve
order and protect the railroad property
at Centerville, where mob of strikin,
miners is in possession Of the railroad
property and refuses to allow coal
trains to be moved. The sheriff and
deputies were on the ground early, but
the force Was entirely INSULT cient to
meet the force mustered by the strikers.
Reinforcements were ordered out and
now 40 deputies are under arms, but
are completely covered by the 600 or
700 strikers, who are armed and
in full control Of the coal switch.
Sheriff Dowell telegraphed the COVER
nor for militia, but help Was refused.
Later the sheriff telegraphed the COVER
nor that he was unable to meet the
force and that he would call in the dep.
uties. This leaves the strikers in full
possession and the property is in their
hands. The people are very indignant
at the governor and indorse the sheriff $
action, feeling that it would be nothing
less than murder to have the small
force attempt to meet the mob.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. June 5.-Four
million dollars will hardly cover the
present loss by the Fraser river flood,
and there is yet no sign OF abatement.
The waters are still rising and as the
warm weather continues melting the
snow in the Rockies, there is no imme-
date prospect Of beginning the work of
restoration. One prominent railway
official thinks the loss of life will reach
100, though conservative estimates are
not so high. Bridges, trestles, tunnels
and tracking along the Canadian Pacific
have gone and the company has over
1000 men at the scenes of danger,
working night and day, From Revel-

senators Agree on Time to Vote
On Amendments to Sugar
Schedule.

WASHINGTON, June Sit can be
stated on the highest authority that the
pu blished statements that another bond
issue is in contemplation are absolutely
without foundation. Mr.. Carlisle, when
questioned in regard to the matter,
stated that the subject of another bond
issue had not been mentioned in cab
met and he had had no conferences
with the president regarding it. It is
believed by those whose opinions are OF
value that the question of another issue
OF bonds will not be considered until
the cash balance and the gold reserve
are much lower than they are at pres
ent.
The cash balance in the treasury at
the close Of business was ST., 449, 039,
OF which $75, 466, 1855 is gold reserve.
