MINERS DRIVEN FROM WORK.

Important Victory Scored by the Strik-
ers in Southern Illinois.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 18.-The striking
coal miners have gained an important
point, causing the abandonment of
work in several mines near Belleville,
Ill. Committees of strikers waited
on the operators of the Muir
ply, Brueggeman and Klingenfuss
mines and obtained promises
from each to discontinue work. Three
mines have supplied local manufactures
and several suspensions may follow.
The Harrison Machine Works, among
the foremost industries in BelIeville, is
dependent upon the Murphy mine for
fuel. Striking miners also assem-
bled at Coulterville, H., to-day
and by threats, firing of pistols and
beating miner named Heinrich severe
~ frightened off the miners who went to
work yesterday. AS result the mines
are again idle.
OsKALoosA, Ia, May 18.-All the
miners at Evans, the largest commercial
mine that has been running in the coun-
ty, have quit work. Five hundred
miners are to make a demonstration at

:. MIssoULA, Mont, May ia band of
$50 Coxeyites of the SeattleSpokane
detachment captured a train of the
Northern Pacific road at Heron, a
few miles from the Idaho line and
$50 miles west of this city, this
morning, and started eastward. A
force of fifty deputies, heavily
arned and headed by Sheriff Ramsey,
left here on q special train at II 80 to-
day to intercept the industrials and at
tempt to recover the train and arrest
the men. 1t is expected it will be q
difficult undertaking as the Coxey-
ties are determined and in a
bad mood over alleged rough treat
nent at the hands of deputy
marshafs scattered along the line be-
tween this city and Spokane A report
comes from the Occur d'Alene County
to the effect that the commonwealers
attempted to capture train near Wall
lace, Idaho, last night but the engineer
cut the engine loose and es-
capped, leaving the train where it
could be only operated in the
wrong direction. The situation at that
point is critical. Commonwealers are
gathering in large numbers and are be-
ing assisted by hundreds of unemploy-
ed miners. 1t is feared that serious
trouble will follow.

REVOLUTION AT HAND.
Another Uprising Against the Span.
ish Yoke is Imminent in
Havana


WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 19.-It is re-
ported to-day in inner diplomatic cir
cles that another uprising in Cuba is
imminent. For over two weeks lengthy
cable dispatches in cipher have passed
between the Spanish minister to the
United States, Senior Don de Muruaga,
and Madrid and representative of
one of the leading detective agencies of
the country has been a frequent visitor
to the residence occupied by the lega-
ton. 1t is understood that the agency
in question has had it's operators
at work for several months in New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other
cities, and that enough facts have been
gathered to justify the belief that the
Cuhans are preparing for another revolt
against Spanish rule, and that they are
receiving material assistance in the
form of money and munitions of war
as well as in the shape of advice and
suggestions from their countrymen in
the United States. In the three cities
named secret meetings of Cubans are
said to have been Of nightly occurrence
for several months past, and in the pro-
ceedings number of noted exiles have
taken part Whether or not, however,
an expedition from this country has
been planned is not definitely known.
1t Is certain at least that neither the
Spanish ministers nor Senior Sagrari,
the first secretary and charge d'affaires,
have considered it necessary so far to
make any representations on the subject
to Secretary Gresham.
HAVANA, Cuba, May 19.-There has
been good deal of unrest throughout
the island since February, and the au-
thorities have been constantly on the
alert to suppress any unexpected up
rising. The leaders of the radical or
revolutionary element have also been
are in constant communication with
the Spanish minister to the
United States. There have been
grounds for suspicious that an invasion
of the island would be attempted by a
party of revolutionists now quartered
In San Domingo, and of which Gen.
Gomez is the head center. 1t is
known that formidable plot has been
brewing in this direction for some time
past, Gomez having the aid and counsel
of several ex1es. Gen. Monada, an
other prominent lnsurrectonist and a
valiant fighter, is regarded as out of
harms way, being imprisoned at San
Salvador for participation in the
last instruction in that country.
1t is understood that his present fate
was instigated by the Spanish author
tiles, and that he has little hope of re-
gaining his freedom. Every vessel ar
irving in Cuba from foreign parts is
thoroughly inspected, not only by the
customs authorities but by military of
fcers especially designated, while the
passengers are also closely vised, and it
Is regarded as next to an impossibility
that either munitions of war or revolu-
tionists IN disguise can be landed with
out detection.

Two Thousand Unemployed People Hold

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, May 19.-There
was large but orderly meeting Of the
unemployed on the Haymarket to-day.
1t is estimated that at least 1000 were
present, most OF them claiming to be
out of work. The object of the gathering
was to awaken public sympathy in prac-
teal measures for furnishing work to
the unemployed. 1t was resolved to ask
the mayor or Council to furnish as much
work as possible on city improvements,
and for the purpose of directly infu-

HIS TRAGIC DEATH.
How Old Tip, the Man-kilIinS EIe-
plant, was Executed.


plant, was Executed.
Tip, the big elephant poisoned by the
New York authorities, died hard. He
began to SILVER as if he were growing
cold. In a moment the shiver had
grown into strong commissions, and he
swayed violently from side to side in
the greatest agony.
Gradually the commissions subsidized,
and Tip, with swaying of his whole
body, turned to the wall and feeby
tried to raise himself upon his hind
legs, rubbing his forehead gently against
the wall.
But his atrength had gone, and, like a
circus elephant that had failed to per-
form one of it's tricks, he sank upon all
fours again, and with lowered head he
started to walk to the furthest corner
Of his cage as if he would hide himself
He advanced to the full length of the
chain which bound his right hind leg to
one of the bars of the cage, and the n
made one step more. AS he gently
strove to drag the fettered hind leg
along his forelegs slowly bent under
him and he sank upon the floor.
But the chain, still checking his hind
leg, held fast, and stretching his mighty
frame as if to secure the most comfort
able position he let the chain slack and
quietly laid himself upon his left side.
He lay there breathing heavily, his
huge sides quickly rising and falling,
and ali the keepers and the armed at
PENDANTS and the executioners gathered
around to watch him expire
1t came at last. His legs stretched
outward, loud blast Of pain and then
another vibrated through the air, his
heaving side rose slowly, now higher
and higher-it had not been so high
beforehand now it sank very slowly,
and never rose again.
And then fly lighted upon his star

Frels VS.. HinrichS.

Two more men are in trouble
and an appeal is being made to
the circuit court for protection.
This time the plaintiff is Vim.
Fre1s and the defendant is Henry
Hinrich. Both are residents of
Blodgett precinct. The cause of
the trouble grows out of an al
legged attempt of Hinrich to float
60, 900 feet of logs down a small
stream that floats through the
plaintiffs farm. The stream is
known as Mulkey creek and
empties into Shot Pouch. The
complaint goes On to state that
in the winter heavy rains cause
the water in the creek to rise TN
til it overfows and in some places
becomes fifteen or twenty inches
deep. In the fall and winter of
1893 the defendant wrongfuHy
deposited about 10000 feet of
logs in the creek about three
fourths of a mile above plaintiff S
land and attempted to float the
same down the creek and that in
order to do so, he employed seven
men with cant-hooks to go upon
the sand along the banks, there
by causing great and irreparable
damage and injury to plaintiffs
land. The plaintiffs fences were
torn down to his damage in the
sum of SIS. That plaintiff has
a bridge over the stream which
was partly destroyed to his DAM
age of $3. That by reason of
breaking the jams and the de-
posits of quantities of sand and
gravel he had sustained dam
age of 500. The complaint
further alleges that the defendant
is preparing to float more logs
down the said stream the coming
winter and for this an injunction
is asked to restrain him from so
doing. It is also alleged that
more than forty separate tres
passes have been committed and
that the defendant threatens to
continue such trespasses.
To the complaint defendant
has entered a general demurrer,
''for the reason that said COM
plant does not state facts sufi-
cient to constitute a cause of
suit"
