Bnfied, but brayely, like stag at bay.
She faced the driving gale and angry sea
! Under short canvas, and with helm n-lee,
Hoyo to- upon the starboard tack, she lay
And looked into the wind s wild eyes that day.
Over the great green rolling billows she
Rode like a storm bird, and did seem to be
A mist born phantom rising from the spray.
Her tightened weather shrouds rang like q

Wild ocean yvraiths walled in the laundering

A thousand demons shrieked In every blast;
Yet, better far to battle with the gale
Than drift DER CLASSY seas with listless sail.

miners is to-day announced on what is
considered reliable authority. The state
ment that the governor has decided to
take summary measures to suppress fur
ther violence here and to bring the strike

GERS OF the union, with the backing of the
Western Federation of miners to decide
to play trump card which, they think,
will force the mine managers to come to
their terms under pressure from the man
ayers of mines in other districts of the
state. The union has sent emissaries to all
other unions in the state TO urge them to
inaugurate al once a sympathetic strike,
thus tying up all the mines in the state
Cripple Creek and Telluride are to take
the initiative. and the other unions will
follow rapidly. In this connection it is
stated upon authority that the mine man
ayers OF Montana have decided upon max
ing a reduction In wages of 80 cents day

in the country The Montana unions have

The congressional committee to investigate

morning.
In ADDITION to the parties in attendance
yesterday, Colonel L. I Waters, Of Kan
sss city, appeared for the prosecution.
Major W. B. Shockiey. treasurer Of the
home. was the first witness. The major
had 20 drag himself before the committee
on crutches, on account of his physical
condition, and his mind at times was not
clear, showing that his physical infrmities,
superindUced ny wounds received in the
civil war. had begun the work OF telling on
him mentally.

consumed in the matter of the home man
GEement and the home disbursements, par

sale of the brick plant. which originally
cost $500, for s. 100 and a royalty on the
output, had been made by Colonel Cook,
the local manager.

DIR. o. G. McNary, assistant surgeon of
the home, was the next witness. He said
he had been assistant surgeon at the home
for the last ten years, but knew nothing
of the Keeley cure business, as Assistant
Surgeon Reese had charge of that branch.
DIR. Reese, he said, had been a medical dt-
rector at the Dwight institute prior to be-
ing made an assistant surgeon at the home.
DIR. McNary said that on several ocCa-
sions he had heard Governor Smith tell
members of the home that they must take
the Kelley cure or leave the institution,
as provision had been made for such treat
ment To a query, the doctor replied: Il
know Myers Powell, and remember of his
being in the hospital, when his clothes
were taken from him. l heard Governor
Smith say to DR.. Jones that Powell was
not to be given a furlough until after this
investigation had been made.
Il remember when Carl Schmit, was
hauled to the hospital in spring wagon,
lying on the fiat of his back, on rainy
cold day. He died in few days. Schmit
was an assistant adjutant general in the
civil war
Il have seen Governor Smith pleasant

Frederick Bene and John Robinson

William Liniski was confined to the in

Smith These men were put in the insane
yard with insane patients, with windows

At this point Chairman Grout said Mr.
stone, of Pennsylvania, had notified him
that it would be impossible for him to
remain here longer than next Tuesday
evening, and he was of the opinion it
would be useless for the committee to re-
main after Mr.. Stones departure He
therefore urged the prosecution TO have
all their witnesses in readiness at o'clock
