1t is Claimed That Some Operators
Have Given In.
PITTSBURG, Pa, March 1.-THE strike
of the miners of the Pittsburg district has
reached that point where both sides are
claiming the advantage. The miners say
they now have over 5000 men working at
the 69-cent rate. The fourth pool opera
tors held conference Saturday evening,
at which they agreed to pay the 69-cent
rate, and most Of the men returned to
work this morning. The remainder will be
at their places tomorrow.
The operators of the entire district will
meet here this afternoon to discuss the sit
uation, but number of them are authority
for the statement that they will adhere to
the 55-cent rate, and will make no over
lures to the miners. They claim that the
meeting is merely for the purpose of con-
ferring, and is no sign of weakness on their
part, as construed by the employees.
Col. w. p. Rend of Chicago is in the city,
sent a telegram denying that he had
granted the increase to his men he refused
to confirm or deny the report. The fact
that his men are at work is considered evil
dence that he is paying the 69-cent rate.
Sheriff Wilhelm of Fayette county sent
a posse of deputies to the Sickle Hollow

Sickle Hollow was the scene of the blood

Judgment Of the Court Pronounced

THE PRISONER SHOWS NO EMOTION
He Listened Calmly to the Words
Of the Judge.
TWO MORE MURDER CASES

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 11.-Harry
T. Hayward, convicted Of the murder of
Catherine Cling, has three months to live.
Sentence was passed on him by Judge Sea-
grave Smith today after a motion for an
arrest of sentence by Mr.. Erwin had been
denied. Harry came into the court in the
same leisurely, calm manner that has
characterized his demeanor all through the
trial. and surveyed the crowd coldly while
the handouts were being removed.
Judge Smith agreed to examine the
grounds urged for a new trial on March
2S. and then passed sentence. He said he
had no doubt whatever that the verdict
was a just and righteous one, and while
he did not believe in capital punishment, it
was his painful duty to pass sentence in
accordance with the law.
"The sentence of this court he con-
tnued, lis that you be taken to the Hen
nepin county Jail, and there confined until
after period of three months time be
fixed by the governor of this state. you be
taken to the place of execution and hanged
by the neck until you are dead"
Harry listened calmly and sat down with
out the slightest show of feeling.
Two More Murders.
Minneapolis has two more murder cases.
Max Peigert, VINO was stabbed by Paul
kleinschmidt last Friday night at a BIRTH
day party given by their landlady, died
this morning. Kleinschmidt is under arrest
and will be tried for murder. He claims to
have acted in self-defense.
The second murder occurred in North
east Minneapolis today. AS result of a
long series of family quarrels Nicholas
Bcdvin, a boy of seventeen, shot his father,
Peter Bodvin, twice through the head.
The boy claims that his father attacked
him, but circumstantial evidence seems to
show that the boy approached from be-

NO MORE TROUBLE FEARED

CHICAGO, March 11.-Riot broke loose in

Thirty-four girls. ranging in years from
ten to eighteen rose in rebellion against

ton and her assistants were powerless to
control their charges and were assaulted
and compelled to lock themselves in rooms
to escape their assailants, while the girls
went through the house. breaking furni-
ture and windows and smashing crockery
and everything they could lay their hands
on.
The police were summoned and restored
order. which was no easy matter, as the
ringleaders fought desperately. Four of
the girls, supposed to be ringleaders. were
arrested.
The trouble arose because of punishment
given by the matron to Mamie Davis, six
| teen years old, who is said by the attend
ants at the home to be hard to manage.
According to the girls, however. the punish
ment meted out to the Davis girl served
only as a pretext for an uprising, which
had been brewing for some time and was
due to great dissatisfaction among the girls
over their treatment in general and par
ticularly because of system of punish
ment which included Imprisonment in a
dark room, twelve feet in size, the culprit
being chained to the floor with a heavy
chain. and also a system of dieting, in
which the offender was not allowed meat
and was half starved.
The trouble Logan. when, for a breach Of
discipline, Matron Dayton locked Mamie
in the "strong room" and chained her to
the floor. The other inmates smashed in
the door and released the prisoner, follow
ing the liberation by wild riot, which
only ended when four of the ringleaders
were arrested.
The riot was repeated today. The girls
declared that they would have no more Of
the present modes of punishment, and, as
declaration of independence, shrieked
defiance at the matrons. ratified the bars
of their windows and screamed at the
passers-by. Large crowds gathered In the
street and about the building, and six of
the girls were taken to a police station.
The arrests served to quiet the inmates
at least temporarily, and the matrons do
not anticipate further trouble

gale which prevailed early yesterday morn

on the boat.
Capt. John Crockett Of the oyster po-
lice sloop and others towed the capsized
beat to oxford late yesterday afternoon.
Diligent search was made for the captain

Capt. Cromwells Report to the Sec

REVOLUTIONARY FORCES DEFEATED
The Colombian Rebellion a Serious
State of Affairs.
TO PROTECT THE RAILROAD

Secretary. Herbert has received a cable
message from Capt. Cromwell, commanding
the cruiser Atlanta, dated Colon, March
10, as follows:
"a slight engagement has taken place,
resulting in the defeat of the revolutionary
forces. Catarina Cara killed. The At
lanta landed a force of marines to protect
American interests at and near Bocas del
Toro."
A Serious State of Affairs.
The Atlanta was recently ordered from
Colon to Bocas del Toro in consequence Of
trouble at the latter port, and her return
to Colon is supposed to be due to the de-
Sire Of her captain to report his action in
landing troops to the Navy Department.
only days run from Bocas del Toro.
Capt. Cromwell probably also thought it
desirable to see how affairs had progressed
at Colon since his departure. Although
the United States has large trade interests
at Bocas they are insignificant when COM
pared with its interests in the Panama
railway. The landing of naval forces at
Bocas indicates serious state of affairs,
as troops are never landed on foreign soil
except in grave emergencies.
1t was evidently deemed necessary for the
proper protection of American life and
property.
Pledged to Prevent Interruption to
Travel.
1t Is believed that the Atlanta will re-
turn at once to Bocas del Toro. The cruiser
Raleigh will probably reach Colon today or
tomorrow from Trinidad and the cruiser

minus of the railway, about the same time.

MONTGOMERY GIBBS MURDER.
Trial of the RObiHsons, Who Have
.rJr

Confessed the Crime.
BUFFALO, N: Y, March 1.-THE district
attorney moved the trial in the superior
court today of Clarence and Sadie Robin
son, indicted for murder in the first degree
for the killing of Montgomery Gibbs, a
young lawyer, year ago.
Mr.. Gibbs was walking alone up a resi-
dence street bordered with mansions bril-
liant with lights about 10 o'clock in the
evening Suddenly three pistol shots rang
out in quick succession, and Gibbs was
found dying from>a bullet wound in the
head, lying in the driveway leading to a
fashionable residence. He expired without
ished and left nothing as a clew to their
identity. Rumors soon connected Gibbs
name with some of the families in the
immediate vicinity and hints of love af-
of many innocent people. The theory that
he was assailed by footpads was hardly
credited. His watch and money had been
untouched. He had no enimies as far as
could be learned. Nobody had seen the
crime committed and the only persons
who claimed to have seen his assailants
were two messenger boys. who said they
saw two men run away from the spot
where the firing occurred, but the police
were unable on experiment to see the same
distance under the same circumstances as
the boys declared they did, SO their evil
dence was thought of little worth.
"A reporter found what he thought were
tne footprints of woman near the spot
No arrests were made until several
months later the Buffalo police received
word from the police of Cleveland that
they had Clarence Robinson under arrest,
and had wormed out from his pals a
charge that he was implicated in a Buffalo
murder. Assistant Superintendent Cusack
OF the Buffalo police went to Cleveland and
'pinched'' Robirson's wife Sadie, who.
thinking that her husband was to be
charged with murder, confessed that she
killed Gibbs herself, but refused to give
any details.
Robinson learning that his wife was I'm
der arrest for the Gibbs murder made a
clean breast Of the matter, telling how ne
and his wife had gone out to .'hoId up
somebody that night, Sadie being attired as
man. Gibbs had resisted, and in his
tEssle he had been shot.
The district attorney has found the dis
guise which Sadie wore on the night and
ether corroborative evidences and believes
he has strong case. There are many people
here who believe that the Robinsohs are
lying, and had nothing to do with the af-
fair.
The question whether the confessions of
the Robinsons will be admitted by the
court as evidence against them or how
much Of 1t and curiosity to see the pair
and hear what they will say for themselves
on the stand filled the court room as soon
as the doors We're opened. The proceedings
of empa nelirg jury may consume two or

Action OF the spanish Government 1T
Minister TaylOr's Request.
Minister Taylor at Madrid some time
ago informed the Department of State that
he had selected seven cases of the large
number preferred by American merchants
for the recovery of sums of money paid
to Cuban officials alleged to be in excess
of the proper charges on imports into that
country. which he intended to make test
cases. The department has just been in
formed that the minister has succeeded in
having five of the cases allowed, and Or
ders have been made for a refund in these
by the Spanish government. The cases are
those of Maicas, Ward & Co. (Hidalgo),
Bowling, Aguilera, and Trilla and Alfonso.
Two of these cases are for refund of duties
collected upon goods that should have
been admitted free, but upon which they
were exacted owing to a misinterpretation
by the Cuban officials Of the language OF the
repertory of the reciprocity treaty. The
other cases were claims for refund of fines
collected because of trivial errors in mani
festos. Minister Taylor is hopeful now
that he will be able to secure the allow
ance of nearly all of the large number of
such claims pending, in view of his success
with these test cases.

That is Said to BE the Reason for
Forming a Silver Party.

That is Said to BE the Reason for
Forming Silver Party.
The reason the silver men were in such
haste to form . new psi - ueeg1k-of placA
ing implicit reliance in their ability to Sc
cure the nomination of a free coinage man
on a free coinage platform by the old DEM
ocratic party, is said to have been that
they had satisfied themselves that Mr..
Cleveland will again be a candidate. After
making a careful Investigation and reason
ing the matter out they became thoroughly
convinced of this. They argued, in the
first place. that the sound money" demo-
Gratis would not consent to remain in the
party If it were captured by the free sill
verites, and that, therefore, to save them
selves from the necessity of quitting the
party, and also to insure the election of a
sound money man, no matter whether the
republicans or the democrats were sue,
cessful in 1896. they would make deter
mined fight to capture the convention.
To do this they would have the delegates
from the eastern states and from the re-
publican states generally on the side of
sound money" and it would require only
that they should capture a few delegates
here and there through the south and south
west. With anybody but Cleveland as a can
didate they might not be able to get enough
delegates from the latter sections, but Cleve-
land possesses popularity in certain parts
OF the soutn ana southwest, even where the
silver sentiment is very strong, which
might be relied upon to give him delegates
regardless Of his financial views. In other
words it is argued that Cleveand's person.
ality could be relied on to strengthen the
sound money column of delegates in a con-
vention, and that this could be accomplish
ed by no other man.
They argue, therefore, that, since the
sound money democrats will not be willing
to surrender the party to silver, they must
take Cleveland for their candidate. Believ-
ing that Cleveland would be thus brought
into the field, the silver men did not feel
safe to trust to their chances for controlling
the convention

punished for desertion from the naval
service committed more than two years
previously, unless he shall have during
that time removed from the United States,
the Secretary of the Navy has issued a
general order providing that such persons
may receive a release from the chief of
sailor, and from the commandant of ma

however, shall not amount to a discharge

ENROLLING OF BILLS.


Much Trouble From Errors Obviated
by Doing the Work by Print.
Much of the trouble that was occasioned
by reason of errors and mistakes which
occurred in the engrossment and enroll
ment of congressional measures by hand
will, it is believed. be obviated hereafter
by the new method OF having that work
done by print. This change is the outcome
of one of the recommendations of the Dock
cry Joint commission and was put into
practical effect during the last Congress
An excerpt from the report of the COM
mission on this subject sets forth the be-
lief that in nearly every instance that the
errors made were directly traceable to the
clerical force engaged in the work of en-
crossing and enrolling the measures.
In the nature Of things it was almost inn
possible to prevent them oftentimes in the
haste in which the work was done. Before
recommending the change the commission
Investigated the methods pursued in the
legislative bodies of other countries than
our own in respect to these matters and
found that in nearly all the leading for
eign parliamentary bodies and in several
of our own states the old method or sys-
tenn of engrossment and enrolment by
hand and ink and pen has been abandoned
AS far back as 1919 the British parlia-
meut abandoned this method and adopted
that of printing. They applied 1t at first
only 10 DlllS OF PUBIC OF general cnarac-
ter for both houses. 1t was found, how
ever, that the new arrangement was SO
productive Of economy, convenience and
dispatch, and tended SO much to lessen
the chance of errors" that they speedily
applied it to private bills and resolutions of
every character. Included in the commits
sion's report on the subject recommending
the change was letter from the Treasury
Department which shows that in conse-
quence of an error in engrossing the tariff

Not Likely to Withdraw.
1t is Nearer the Size of u Bank
Check.

Postmaster General Bissell has under ad-
yisement a new design of money order
which will give more facility in handling
it, and in separating the coupon from the
money order. 1t is more nearly the size
of the ordinary bank check, and this fact
it is thought, should increase its use. This
statement is contained in letter sent by
Mr.. Bissell, February II, to the joint COM
mittee of Congress, inquiring into the
methods of transacting business in the ex-
ecutive departments. The Postmaster Cen
eral inclOses a report of the superinten-
dent of the money order system, which, he
says, Shows that the decrease charged
for money orders has increased the busi-
ness, and that the amount of decrease in
fees received for the quarters ending Sep
tember 80, 1894, has been more than coun-
terbalanced by the amount saved in the
reduction of the rate of commissions to
postmasters; and it is further shown that
the abolition of the postal note has resulted
in the use, in Its stead. of money orders,
which afford greater protection to the peo-
pie using them"
