on the contention made by the steel

tcrnal strains are developed by the

A Possibility OF Returning Peace.

CRIPPLE CREEK. Col, May 91.-There
is possibility that the mining troubles
in this district may end shortly. Hos
tilities have ceased for the time being,
and steps toward arbitration were
taken this morning. A delegation of
Colorado Springs citizens came to Grip
pie Creek and Immediately proceeded
to Altman, under the Victor mine, and
the fort on Bull Hill, and there met the
miners and stated their errand. The
committee made point of asserting that
they came entirely on their own respon-
sibility in the interests of peace, and
also referred to the fact that arbitra-
tion would mean the conceding of some
thing to the mine owners. After the
conference with the leaders inside the
building DR.. Slocum, Rev. Mr.. CARING
ton and President Collais addressed the
crowd of miners on the outside, STATING
practically what they had asserted in
the conference. The committee then
left and returned to Cripple Creek.
President Calderwood has called a
meeting of the miners union. to be
held at Altman tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock, and it is expected that at
this meeting committee will be ap-
pointed to again try to arbitrate the
differences with the mine owners. The
deputies have gone back from Wilbur
toward Florence awaiting for reinforce
ments, and the miners have been quiet,
guarding their strongholds and attend
ing the Altman meeting.
There were some stray shots fired by
outposts who thought they saw depu-
ties moving but that was all.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May a7.--Four
more companies of state troops joined
those of the second regiment, now in
camp at Ensley City. near Pratt mines,
to-day, making total of nearly 1000
troops under arms in this county in ap-
prehension of further trouble among
the striking miners. Many strikers
gathered about the military camp and
watched the troops drill, not affecting
to be the least overawed by the pres
ence of SO many soldiers whom they do
not look upon with favor.
At late hour last night the guards
at Pratt mines, one mile from the mill
itary camp, saw body of strikers lurll-
ing in the woods and at once opened
fire upon them. The strikers returned
the fire. and nearly 100 shots were ex-
changed. The strikers finally fled, evil
|dently fearing the troops would be
called out. No one was hurt.
Within half mile of the camp to-
day party of strikers coming out of a
church saw several negro miners pass
ing and began jeering them and finally
moved upon them, when the negroes
drew pistols and fired, but so far as is
known, no one was wounded, The
negroes were arrested and were pre-
vented from being lynched on promises
that they would have a trial to-mor-
row.
The strikers at the Pratt mines held
mass meeting to-day to discuss the
presence of the military in their midst.
The committee called on the various
railroad unions to day and requested
them to refrain from hauling non
union coal, but got no assurance that
their request would be complied with.
The situation does not improve, and
bloodshed may ensue at any time. The
authorities are determined to keep the
troops here all summer if necessary.
