About dozen arrests have been made

it is possible that further arrests will be

ity over all other tickets, carrying with
him the entire Republican ticket. Dis
patches to the Associated Press from all

go to show that, with but few exceptions
where party lines were distinctly drawn,
the Republicans have elected their

At Atchison, Kansas, the entire Re-

LABOR TROUBLES.

The Situation in the Coke Region in
Critical State.
-CoNNELLsvILLE Pa, April 3.-The sit
uation in the coke region is in almost
critical stage. At first it was thought the
the impression was dispelied day, when
the men at Trotter came out. 1t is said a
body of strikers intend to march to
Frjck's Davidson works at noon and
force the men to stop work. In the Scott
dale district all the plants are In opera
ton. The feeling among foreigners
throughout the entire region is very Bit
ter. The men seem we'll supplied with
dynamite.
Over 1000 men gathered at the Oliver
Works to-day with revolvers, clubs and
stones and attempted to force the Eng
disappearing workmen into line, but
failed. The strikers then started Tor Lelth
and BroWntield. About twenty-five dep
uties are in charge. The strikers are
camped in the woods near Leith and an
attack on the workingmen is expected
when they attempt TO work. The rioters
are nearly all HungarianS. The Scottdale
Convention was this afternoon attended
by 5000.
The leaders say Thursday morning will
see one of most widespread and deter
mined strikes ever inaugurated Ill the
coke regions.
STRIKE FOR RESTORATION OF WAGES.
MICHIGAN CITY QHd.), April 3.-Em-
ployes in the finishing department of
Ford. Johnson IL Co.'s cane chair factory
to the number of l25 have struck for a
restoration of l0-per cent. cut from
their wages in January. The company
responded that it would be impossible to
raise wages now, and the men are still
out.
A BIG STRUGGLE.
PROVIDENCE (R. L., April 3.-The big
gest labor war Rhode Island has ever
seen is on. 1t is a struggle OF the weavers
against the two-looms system-a war
against an improvement which they
claim is impracticable. In ten days 200
employees will again be idle. All of the
| weavers went out to-day, and they are
determined to stay out until they are vic
torious.

Bloody Battle Between Cowboys and
IndinnS,

Ell RENO %. t., April 3.-Advice from
the scene of the encounter between a
band of depredating Indians and cowboys
have been brought in by courier, who
came for military assistance. He re-
ported a fight was in progress and that
eight or ten Indians and half that many
whites were killed or wounded. The
settlers, rushing to the aid of the cow
BOYS, have surrounded the Indians and
are slowly picking them off. Two troops
of cavalry left for the scene of action, but
thew will probably not arrive before the
battle is over. No evidence of excitement
is seen among the Indians in this neigh
borhood.
KANSAS CITY, April 3.-A special to
the Times from El Reno, o. T., received
late tonight, says the troop OF cavalry
sent out to quell the fighting going on be-
tween the Indians and the cowboys has
sent a courier back to El Reno for rein
forcements. 1t is reported that another
battle has occurred, and that several men
on both sides were killed and wounded.
The rumor published heretofore to the
effect that the agency building had been
burned by the Indians is corroborated.
The scene of the fighting is so remote that
particulars are unobtainable at this time
1t is feared that great loss of life will oc-
cur before reinforcementS can reach the
troops now at the front.

CHARLESTON IS. c., April B. 3.-Contrary
to public expectation the whisky con-
stabulary, who reached here on Sunday
night in their retreat from Darlington,
did not resume their raiding to-day. They
took an early morning tram out OF the
city, and proceeded to Orangeburg, abou
ninety miles north of here, where they
are resting at present. The object of their
visit to that place Is not known, but it is
presumed it is for the purpose of search
ing for contraband whisky. The dispen-
saries here are closely guarded by police
men, and are doing but little business.
The blind tigers" are open, and the seal
of the Palmetto State blown in the bottle.
The people of this city, as well as those
in the interior of the State, are looking TO
the Supreme Court of the State, which is
is session at Columbus, Tor possible re-
lief from the strained condition of affairs,
and there are not few who blame that
tribunal for the bloodshed at Darlington.
Suits involving the constitutionaiity OF
the dlspensary law were argued before
that court three months ago and no de-
cision has yet been rendered by the three
Judges of the court. Two are conserva-
tives--Justices Mellow and McGowan-
and the third Justice is an out-and-out
Tillmanite. 1t is certain that an early
decision of the court on the constitution
ality of the dispensary law would have
done much toward quelling the excite
ment created by its enforcement. II the

Effort to Release a Convict Serving

SAN RAFAEL, April 3.-M. Ahern, a
convict now confined at San Quentin
Prison on the charge OF robbery, was
brought up before Judge Angelotti of the
Superior Court this morning on a petit
tion for writ of habeas corpus. The
demurrer to the commitment stated that
the commitment was void on its face, and
was issued without jurisdiction, and that
the jurisdiction of the court was not
pleaded and does not appear on the face
OF the commitment. The point is raised
by a. Clark, attorney for Ahern, and is
considered very novel one. The court
has denied the petition and remanded
the prisoner to the prison authorities.

HIS ACTION TO BE INVESTIGATED.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Grosvenor of
ONO late this evening introduced in the
House resolution calling for a special
investigation Of Governor Tillman's
action in South Carolina in seizing rail-
road property and telegraph lines en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and with
armed forces and violence establishing a
censorship of the daily and weekly press
of the country, and prohibiting the trans
mission of news dispatches to the news
papers. The resolution directs the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce to inquire by what law such acts
have been committed, and whether the
laws Of the United States have been vio-
lated. In his remarks on the resolution
Grosvenor said this was the first time in
the history of the Government that such
a censorship of press dispatches had been
established. The resolution was referred

Unlsss there are counteractirs in

and. indeed, overcome and rev ersed by
q constant draft of loads In the direc-
ton Of its descent, says the Charleston

poslte direction. Should It ne neces-
Eary, however, to apply the brakes,

the same direction. On roads having
grades which change abruptly from
ascending to descending grades over
the crown Of a hill, 1t often happens
that the rails creep" up grade on both
sides Of the crown and this Is especial
" true where long, heavy trains are
run, as the heavy pulling Of the engine
after 1t has passed the crown, going
down grade, causes It to drive the rail
upward on the one side, while the rear
Of the train has somewhat the tendency
to pull, or at least to hold, the rail on
the opposite ascent. One rail often
"creeps'' faster than the other; this is
not confined to the east rail or the west
rail, the north or the south. 1t is due
to q variety Of causes, and to none per-
haps more than to the fact that there
Is q difference, and often a popularity,
in humanity. There is in railroad par
lance what Is known as Il Zine" and II
gauge" rail; in nine cases out of ten
the cline" rail gets the most attention
from the foreman in charge; and, In ad-
ditiOn, two men are usually selected to
keep up" the bolts and joints, one OF
which is generally the most trusted
man in the gang" The other works
under him; almost invariably this
trusted man gets on the ''line' rail,
and thus it will be seen that the joints
and bolts are kept in better shape on
the one rail than on the other, and are
therefore more capable Of resisting the
tendency to creep" This habit among
trackmen of adopting pet rail is one
of the peculiarities Of human nature;
BARRIERS have somewhat the same Pc
culiarity-they lather and rub, shave
and powder one side of mans face
until human endurance rebels against
the Injustice.

HOME.
Scenes witnessed in Borneo, Where

scenes yNitnessed in Borneo, Where
These Animals Are Most Plentiful.
The great island of Borneo Is the
home of the orang, and one Of the
most noticeable features Of the land
scape is the nests of the orang, which
are scattered about thickly among the
tall trees. From their number one
might get greatly exaggerated I'M
preston Of the plentifulnass Of the spe-
cies, unless it were understood how
and for what purpose these roosting
places were constructed. The apes are
greatly annoyed by flies. from which
they are able to protect the front part
of their bodies with their hands, but
they cannot keep "he vicious insects
from biting them in the rear, and SO
they gather q quantity Of leaves and
branches and make them into couches
to repose against among the boughs.
A protection Of this sort serves very
well for awhile, but presently its ma
terial begins to deconpose, and the de-
caying leaves attract the flies which the
orang Is SO anxious to get rid of. Then
he Is obliged to make another rest of
fresh stuff, and so he may require
dozen Of them in the course of the
year. Inasmuch US he does not take
the trouble to remove the old ones
they remain to adorn the tree top in
which he swings about. Orangs have a
very curious method Of fighting. In
their conflicts among themselves, Which
are frequent, their effort is always to
seize the fingers Of their adversaries
and bite Them.
1t Is owing to this method Of battle
that 1t is almost impossible to procure
skin which does not lick some of the
fingers. If defending itself against a
man, the orang will always attempt to
grasp the arms Of his human opponent,
80 as to chew of his fingers. For this
purpose its jaws are excellently adapt
ed, being enormously powerful aud
equipped with huge ihcisors.
To protect itself from the rain, the
orang crooks its arm over Its head.
The hair on the orans's upper arm
points downward, while ON the upper
arm it points upward, the apparent
purpose being to shed the rain like q
thatch when the attitude thus described
