Miners Told Owner tt Raise Wages or
Mill Would Be Blown Up.
WALLACE, Idaho, May 8-Operations at
the Hunter mine at Mullins were abrupt
ly terminated last night.
President Henry of the Miners union
went to Mullins and advised Marion
Curran, the uperintendenI, that if he
did not raise the wages to tho Canyon
creek scale, or quit work, the union
of Canyon Creek would be over there
several hundred strong. and that they
would run him out of the country. and
possibly kill him, and that the mill would
probably be blown to pieces.
Curran wired Dennis Ryan, one of the
principal owners, living near St Paul as
follows:
compelled to quit or take chances of
having the mill blown up and myself run
out of the country. Answer quick"
The reply came to "Close up the mine
and mill" Consequently the men were
discharged last night and paid off. The
mine has been in operation only week.

He GETS AMANDAMUS.
Chase Secures Writ from the
Supreme Court
70 COMPEL The DIRECTORS
OF the PenftentIary to Audit His Ac-
counts for April.

OF the Penftentiary to Audit His Ac-
counts for April.
In the supreme court this morning an
alternative writ of mandamus was is
sued on the application of s. W. Chase
asking that the penitentiary directors be
instructed to audit his April accounts as
warden of the penitentiary.
The writ which was issued is made re-
turnable Friday, and the penitentiary di-
rectors must either audit the accounts
before that time or appear and show
cause why they should not do So
Mr.. I. W. Eckert of Arkansas City, one
of the directors, said today that there
will be a meeting of the directors at the
penitentiary tomorrow, and it is expect
ed that the accounts will be audited.
The directors will refuse to audit the
accounts as sworn TO by S. W. Chase, but
say they are willing to audit them if
signed by Deputy Warden Markham.
Mr.. Eckert says he does not anticipate
any trouble, even if the accounts are not
audited, as the contracts for provisions
and supplies have all been let. and the
contractors wiIlno doubt continue to fur
nish what is wanted and wait for their
money until the Chase controversy is set
tied

MRS. PACK TEXTILES.

She Appears Before the Householder In
vestigatfOn Committee Today.
When the Householder investigation
committee met for business this morning
in the Real Estate building, Mrs. Emma
D. Pack appeared before the committee
and asked that the committee appoint an
attorney to take charge of her case for
her.
Mrs Pack represented to the commit
tee that she was poor woman and did
not have a dollar, and unless the com
mIttee would furnish her with an at
torney and would assure her that her
witnesses would be subpe aaed she
would be compelled to allow her case to
go by default
Mrs. Pack told the committee that
while she was matron at the asylum her
salary was small and her duties were
heavy. She said they were ten times
harder under DR.. McCasey as superinten-
dent than under DR.. Eastman, and that
the charges fled against her were die
tated by DR. McCasey, who was taking
that manner to retaliate because of a
suit for SANDER which is now peuding
against him in the Shawnee county dis
trict court
The members of the committee were
not ready to give Mrs. Pack an answer,
and her request was taken under advise
ment. Mrs. Packs case is to come up at
the conclusion of the Householder in
vestig alton.

A Large Meeting in London at Which Lady
Somerset Scores the Sultan.
LONDON, May 8.-A meeting was held
here this afternoon to protest against the
Armenian outrages. The duke of Ar
gyL presided and the hall was crowded
TO ITS utmost capacity.
In his speech opening the meeting the
duke of Argyll said it was hopeless
task to overcome the causes Of corrup-
tien in Turkey.
a letter from Mr.. Gladstone was then
read, expressing sincere regret at Ar
menia's pitiable condition, and declaring
that England should adopt effectual
measures to prevent a recurrence of the
shameful outrages.
Lady Somerset addressed the meeting.
She declared that the crescent would
henceforth stand forth before the eyes of
the nations as a thing as impossible to be
cleaned as was the hand of Lady Mac
beth. 1t was fitting that a woman's
voice should be lifted up for the Armen-
ian women.
hundred thousand women wearing
the white ribbon were visibly prese Mt
with her as she stood trying to represent
their burning love for their sisters in the
clutches of the harem despot of Constan-
tinOple.

Mayor Strong Approves the Bill for the
Police Reorganization.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 8.-The bill for
the reorganization of the police depart
ment of New York city reached the SEN
ate today, with the certificate of Mayor
Strong's approval attached. In trans
hitting the bill the mayor says
that it is accepted by the
city of New York in spite of the serious
objections that have been urged against
it. The principal reason which inf1u-
enced its acceptance is given as fol
lows:
There is unquestionably an almost
universal and sincere belief among
the people of the state outside
of this city as we'll as on
the part of our citizens that
the political party usually in the
minority here should have representa-
tive in the police board, because that
board has SO great power of control
over elections, and the fair exercise of
that power is necessary to prevent the
votes of the people in all parts of the
state for president and governor from
being nullifed by fraud or intimidation
