CANNELBURG, IND., June at Is
apparent tonight that the backbone OF
the strike has been broken. The mill
tia have done the work. The Wash
ington miners deserted their colleagues
here and the Caunelburg miners are
TOO few to do any anything but sub
NIT tonight. The militia met no re-
sistancs. Scouting parties this after
noon secured the surrounding country
They failed to find any large number
congregated. 1t appears that the
miners from Washington took a promi-
nent part in the destruction OF prop
erty on Friday night and returned TO
their homes.
Adjutant General Robbins and Colo
mel Ross held another conference with
the officers of the miners union this AZ
ternoon. l. n. Cassaday and George
w. Purcell Of the State executive
board, pledged their support OF the law
and their purpose TO influence all
miners adjacent to this place TO pre-
vent any further interference with
the movement of trains. The AdJutsnt
General expressed the intention after
the conference Of sending most OF the
troops home tomorrow. Sheriff Icing
and deputies conveyed three prisoners
to the Washington Jail about 8 o'clock,
Judge Heffron consented TO give the
three men their release on bail in the
sum Of 81, 600 each, which was given.

siOns had been prepared for them they
remained on the boat until the provi-
sions we're loaded, when the steamer

breakfast was prepared.
IL was supposed that the army would
proceed on up the river as soon as
breakfast was over ara preparations
had been made for their reception at
towns above here. But these towns will
bs spared al trouble in caring for
them. Probably the funds Of the army
ran out, for the entire army OF 3l5 men
in command Of General" Frye, was put
on shore Of this side Of the river
just above Parksrs5urg and they are
now encamped on the outskirts Of the
town. Provisions are being supplied by
she people.
Tomorrow morning the army will

poets his men 20 make better time than
most OF the armies have made, expect
ing to average 80 miles a day. He eX-

law in Maine.
General Wager SWsyne, Of this city,
presided at the meeting. Father Mar
ply, Of Montreal, offered lhs opening
prayer. DR.. Joseph Cook, OF Boston,
was the principal speaker. His address
was q review Of "Sixty years OF tenn
perance agitation; what it has accom-
plished."
He paid & high tribute to the work
done by General Neal Dow In the cam
paigns for prohibition In Maine. DR.. B.
B. Taylor, d. D., of New Y, then for
mally presented to the meeting an ad-
dress to General Dow, which had

much honor. l have no words to pre-
sent my appreciation"
Continuing, General Dow told OF the
effect of prohibition In Maine and OF the
good work being done to secure univer-
sal prohibition.
"In that State" he said, ''an entire
generation has grown up without hav-
log seen g grog shop or known the taste
of rum. In thrse-quarters OF our terri
tory the rum traffic is unknown.
There are many good men and intel
ligent men who declare that prohibition
can never win. 1 answer, yes IL will
win, and | can name the day. 1t Is
when the church wakes up from Its
lethargy, when the Christians OF this
country say TO the liquor traffic: Go,
and vote Co Then IL will 60"

hllners Overawed by Troops.

SULLIVAN, IND, June 3.-This morn
ing at an early hour three companies or
State militia were brought here; they
numbered about $50 men. They re-
NAMED here until an engine and ca
boose came up from Evansville and fol-
lowing the regular traiD from north, the
special with troops went to ShelouEne'
A distance south Of the station the
special stopped, when the soldiers got
of and formed a phalanX with fixed
bayonets, marched up and surrounded
the coal cars. The engine backed In,
and the cars were coupled together and
the train moved out without word OF
protest on the part Of about $50 miners.
ABOUT q mile north OF Shelburne there
is q steep grade, and it Is said
THE RAILS WE'RE soAPED,
causing a delay OF an hour. A portion
Of the military force was left at Shell
burne while the main body went on to
Farmersburg, and 1t was understood that
part of the force would go out on the
branch road to Alum Cave and take out
some loaded cars there which have been
held by the strikers, when they will
return to this place and go into camp
for the night. 1t is great relief to
the community that this difficulty has
been overcome without bloodshed.
As soon as the miners on guard heard
OF the military at Sullivan, they began
firing an anvil, to let the outside miners
know what was coming, but they did
not get their expected help. Several
hundred people gathered to see the bat
tie between the miners and the military.
After the militia had finished their WORK
they came back to Sullivan and went
into camp at the fair grounds with ouly
one man in the hospital. He accident
ally dropped mis- revolver, and striking
the hammer against something it went
of, shooting him In the foot.
Sheriff Mills left Shelburne, going on
to Alum Cave and demanding the coal
the miners had sidetrscked. They gave
il M without much difficulty. The
militia are here awaiting further orders
from the Sheriff.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, June 3.-Reports
from the western third of Kansas are
very discoursging, and show that the
wheat crop in that section will be q
total failure. There was very little
wheat raised west of the centre OF the
State, and unless the condition immedi-

raised. In many counties there has not
been any rain for more than q year,
with the exception OF light showers.
The people of that section are ill-pre-

Hundreds Of farmers are without means
to buy provisions to tide them over ap-

failure will force many TO leave the
