Washington, Sept 2o.-It is believed
that Senator Dubois succeeded in his
mission to Washington and that the
combination formed against him in
idaho will be broken.
At any rate, Senators Teller, Dubois
and German at their conference with
Chairman Jones, f the national demo-
cratic committee, impressed the latter
with the necessity of Placating the free
silver republicans of Idaho. Mr.. Jones
at first demurred and protested that the
national committee ought not to inter.
fere with the affairs of the Idaho state
committees; but Senators Dubois and
Teller threatened to withdraw from
their support of the Bryan and Sewall
ticket Mr.. Teller said he would i'm
mediately cancel his campaign engage
ments If injustice were done to the free
silver republicans who were supporting
Bryan. After the conference was con-
cluded, Senator Teller left for Kentucky,
where he is to make several speeches,
and Senator Dubois left for the west in
a happy frame of mind, to take charge
of the free silver campaign on the
Pacific coast, as one of Senator Jones'
lieutenants. From this 1t Is believed
thot the national democratic committee
will do everything to accomplish a
fusion with the free silver republicans.

at p. m. II was nearly 10 o'clock be-
fore he retired last night, but today he
was remarkably refreshed, taking into

New York, Sept. 2I.-The meeting
of the democratic state committee called
for tomorrow night is causing much
discussion and speculation tonight.
Chairman Danforth said today that this
meeting would simply be to elect a sue
cessor in w. F. Sheehan as national
committeeman and to attend to the de-
tails of the campaign. It is rumored,
however, that Senator Coffey of Kings
county will voice the sentiments of the
silver men on the ticket and ask the
committee to use the power delegated
1t by the state convention and name a
new candidate for governor.
John Boyd Thacher has not yet de-
elined or accepted, but 1t is understood
he will act in the matter as the commit
tee desires. 1t is because of this serious
situation that Senator Hill Is expected
in the city tomorrow to take charge of
affairs and watch the meeting. 1t Is
generally believed the state organization
represented by MIR. Hill and Mr.. Shee-
han hold majority of the committee
in their graz r, and thesefore that the sill
verites wiz defeated.

ORIGIN OF THE STRIKE,
Agreement to Work for S3 Day I'm
all silver is SO Cents.

Leadville, Sept. 2I.-The miners
strike, of which last nights lawlessnes
is the outcome, began three months ago
yesterday, when at II O'clock at night
the men in two or three of the leading
mines walked out The union scale of
wages in Leadville was So for everybody
but in 1893 when the price of silver
dropped below 90 cents an ounce, an
agreement was made that $2,so should
be accepted for some classes of work
until silver should return to SO cents.
This agreement the miners declared af-
terward was unfair, as many of the
mines paid large dividends. 1t was to
enforce the original scale of So that the
men struck. About 5000 men are in
volved.
Within the last two weeks several OF
the mines have resumed work and last
week the daily output was 1900 tons as
against 1000 before the strike.

New York, Sept. aI.-John C. Shee-
han, the leader of Tammany hall, yes
terday said that he had authorized for
publication the following threat, which
he believes will bring into line the
thousands of Tammany hall democrats
who are in open revolt against Bryan
and Sewall and the Chicago platform:
III would like to have you say this,
that any man who claims allegiance to
Tammany hall and does not do his best
to elect Bryan and Sewall will have no
standing in the organization. Every
leader of every district will mark the
any traitor be recognized in Tammany
hall. This is our fght-a fight for our
name. Tammany will not be an organ
ization of democracy unless 1t gives its
vote to Bryan and Sewall. No man can
remain member of Tammany hall who
does not vote the straight national and
state tickets in November"
Among the men who are in open re-
volt and whom Mr.. Sheehan will at
tempt to discipline may be mentioned
the following:
Hugh ]. Grant, former mayor of New
York city.
Thomas G. Gilroy, former mayor of
New York city.
John R. Fellows, district attorney of
New York county.

London, Sept. 2I-A special from
Berne, Switzerland, says George F.
Curtis, assistant librarian of the CON
gress of the United States, residing at
Arno, Washington. D. c., was arrested
by two detectives at an hotel in Grin
deau, thirty five miles from this city,
thrown into Jail at Interisken, searched
and all money and papers seized and the
baggage ransacked. After the director
of police arrived at Interlaken from

the outrage was the result of police stu
pidity. Curtis was being mistaken for a
criminal wanted by the Swiss police.
Curtis has lodged complaint with the

at bay by the assassins and firebugs, who
seemed concealed near the building
But presently, as the great sheets of
flame rolled over the buildings, 1t was
apparent that unless there was timely
action the buildings in the vicinity were
doomed. The firemen rallied, for by
this time hundreds OF citizens, armed |
with rifles, appeared and guarded the
fire department and volunteers. All at
tention was devoted to saving the houses
In the vicinity, but in spite of every eff
fort at least four dwellings on East |
Eighth street were destroyed. One was
occupied by James Gregory, Cos East
Eighth, and another by Charles
Hodges,
Dead:
Bert Meir.
James Benson.
Both were miners employed at the
Coronado, killed by the explosion. They
were identified by papers found on their
bodies.
Wounded:
William O'Keefe, foreman hose com
pany No. 2, shot through the stomach.
]. Higgins, miner, employed at the
Coronado, shot eight times in the arms
and stomach.
John Mahoney, shot through the
stomach.
Frank Telle and Martin Scott, Coro-
nado miners, injuries not fatal.
Mahoney, Shot near the Emmett mine,
claims he was there merely as spec
tator.
AT least three of the attacking party
at the Emmett were hit with bullets, but
were carried away by their comradep.
The Coronado people heard of the
coming troub e last night, but supposed
the attack would be made at the Emmett.
Soon after the firing commenced many
citizens responded quickly, armed with
rifles and shotguns, but they could do
little fighting fire and dynamite.
Foreman O'Keefe was shot from be-
hind just after he had turned on a
stream at the Coronado.
Today hundreds of miners say they
will go to work at once. They bitterly
denounce the extremists, and say their
action has lost the miners strike.
The arrival of the militia is anxiously
awaited, despite the apparent calm. Lo.
cal companies have been sent to the
hills, and armed citizens are patroling
the streets. The city council today de.
cided to aid the state officers in appre-
bending the rioters.
There is much reason to believe the
acts of lawlessness last night were the
result of crisis in the strike which
would have resulted in a settlement o.
the wage trouble in this camp. Thit
week number of mines were to have
, started up, and the list of applicants wa
: rapidly filling. Some of the witnesses
of the Coronado ARRAY declare the mum
Der of men making the attack did no

Many strikers have been and are wei

dynamite and powder at their command
A startling story in circulation today il
that almost the entire city was threat
ened with destruction last night, ant

ties and armed citizens in arriving, thu
: destruction would have been more wide
spread.

Washington, Sept. 2i.-"InStructions
have been sent TO quarantine officers of
the United States, particularly those

Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service, "to be more rigid than
ever in their inspection of vessels com
ing to this country, from Cuban ports,
owing to the number of filliousters said
to be homeward bound"
This course has been rendered abso
lutely necessary. Recent advices from
Santiago are to the effect that danger
from the introduction of yellow fever is
by no means over. In his latest report
Sanitary Inspector Caminero says:
yellow fever is causing many deaths
among the soldiers and if the records do
not show this. it is because the deaths
take place in the hospitals established
outside the city and in the attachments
located In the surrounding villages. At
the Dalquiri mines, for example, there
is about one death from yellow fever
daily. The mines ship their ore in
tramp stemers Tor the United States"
