CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June 1.-Abso'
lutte quiet reigns throughout the camp
tonight. Not deputy has put in an ap.
pearance The strikers, however, have
. redoubled their vigilance in guarding
their stronghold on Bull Hill. Four lines
of pickets guard every road and train
leading from this city TO the mountain,
and the guards extend down the Canon
City and Florence roads for distance oil
twelve miles. The same is true OF the
Cheyenne Canon road to Colorado Springs.
Pckets are also stationed as far as Mid
land and beyond, and it will be next to
impossible for the deputies to surprise the
strikers.
At Altman, the stronghold of the miners,
the strictest military rule is enforced.
All the saloons are under lock and Key,
but by some means some OF the strikers
procured . small amount OF whisky ana
became slightly intoxicated. General
johnson who has charge OF the military
forces, on being Informed Of the dolngs the
men caused them to put into the guard
house Immediately.
The opinion is generally held that the
strikers have lost sight OF any effect Gov
ernor Waite's visit may have had. and
that they intend TO fight, as they feel con-
fldent of routing the deputies.
Considerable excitement was created To-
day by the appearance of six armed
strikers. the first to come armed into the
CITY. aud the subsequent shooting of Ed
Smith. a drunken railroad employe, by a
policeman.
Smith will die.

Two cousins, whose appearance,

camp in the Rockies. One night all
were interested in game of cards, and
were urging Pat lone of the cousins)
to join. Pat had just sat down to
write to his girl, but as he was the
champion player of the camp they
would take no excuse. His cousin of

asked what he should say. Pat told
him to write what he would himself
say under the same circumstances,
which the cousin proceeded to do, end.

When the game was finished, all hur-
ried to bed. The subject of the lie tier
did not again recur to Pats mind till
he received an answer containing an
acceptance, also stating that the time
designated would hurry his sweet
heart somewhat in her preparations.

quest and come at once. Needless to

his cousin, who, when confronted
with the question: "What did
you say in the letter." in

handed him his letter, upon reading
which the cousin realized he had got
Pat into bad scrape. Later, as he
heard Pat disclaim any intention of
marrying that little roly-poly," he
felt his own position was still worse, as
he had brought it all about; and it
dawned upon him it was not SO funny
after all The only way of escape he
could plan was to meet the oncoming

several points was at srand-still, bet re-

The river is more than foot higher than
ever before known aud the damage will be
immense. The fertile bottom lands along
the river from the Rocky mountains to the
sea, distance OF 600 miles, are
all inundated. Crops are ruined,
drowned. The food has come
gradually, which has given residents an
opportunity to move household goods to
places OF safety aud in most instances
stock has been driven to higher ground.
The salmon GINNING business has bsen
almost annihiIated. Fish and canning
establishments along the river coast for
hundreds OF miles are under water. 1t is
estimated by canusry men that the loss
will reach 100000 Telegraphic commu-
nication to the north and east is cut OF

Rev. B. j. Hall of Norfolk, who writes of
the ISLANDERS against the people of the
south being circulated in England by Ida
Wells, Governor Tillman in letter today
says: Il beg to say that am reported
correctly, to this extent: I said in my eau
vas two years ago, and l say now, that l
would lead mob to lynch any man, white
or black, who had ravished any woman,
white or black. / am opposed to lynch
law for anything but rape. That is a
crime which, in my opinion, places any
man beyond the pale of the law aud puts
him below brutes. The southern people
are not blameless in dealing with the
question of lynching. hut all our lynchiDgs
are lot Of negroes, aud l think statistics
will show that lynchings occur rs often
in western and northern states as they do
in the south.
