COLORADO COAL TIMES.
A General Strike in All the Mines is
Ordered.

Ordered.
LA FAYETTE, Colo. June 1O-At
a mass meeting today the coal miners
of northern Colorado adopted resolu-
tons ordering a general strike in all
the northern Colorado mines until the
differences existing between the United
and Gladstone Coal companies and
their employees are adjusted and agree
ments signed. If the companies import
negroes to operate the mines, as they
threaten to do, serious trouble is likely
to result.

that there has hot been sufficient appropria-
ton made by Congress. Now thousands of trees
which would probably have weathered this
storm il they had been trimmed have been
blown up by the roots or hopelessly dismem-
bored.
The storm swept the water front with vlo-
lence that has never been exceeded. NOT only
will nearly every steamboat company nave 10

vessels, but some of the steamers will no De

Besides this, numerous small craft were lost.
The scene there Immediately after the storm was
one of indescribable confusion, and wheh the
electric lights went out, as they ala before the
storm was half over, the entire water front was
in almost pitch darkness.
The roof of Admiral Porter's former resi-
deuce occupied by the French Legation, was
carried away, aud the southeast corner tower
OF the State Department was unroofed, but no
damage was done to the records
The new Naval Observatory was injured TO
the extent of $1,000. Part of the copper ROOF
was torn off, but the big telescope and other
instruments were unhurt
Several men were caught in the wreck OF Two
buildings. None were found killed tuesday
night, but on Thursday body was taken from
the debris.
The Pension Office and St. Aloysius Church
were partly unroofed, also Convention Hall
and several other large buildings. hundreds
of residences suffered similarly, and In some
cases walls were blown in. ,
One OF the heaviest losses suffered by the
city was the destruction of thousands OF shade
trees of all kinds, which cannot be gwen a
money value. Nor will it be possible to repair
this damage for years to come. for many OF the
uprooted trees were the growth of decades and
were landmarks. The public parks suffered
as never before. and the magnificent grove OF
elms in the rear of the White House was terri
bly, damaged.

The Situation in California.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: ] will say
that / am in entire accord with The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE in its patriotic stand for
honesty and sound money. The situation
here is anything but assuring The foes
of good Government are better organized,
better paid, and consequently more active
than we are. For years they (the Populists
and Free Silverites) have been sowing the
seeds of discomfort by this pernicious litera-
ture among the laboring and farming people,
and the result is a crop of fanatics and Wis
ionaries, ready to perform the grasshopper's
act of jumping without knowing where
they are going to alight. Unless some
heroic work is done for California in the
next 30 days believe the State is lost by
not less than 10000 or 10000 majority.
Since beginning this letter two Populists
have come into my Office, both ex-soldiers
and pensioners. Both of these wanted light
on this point-the appreciation of gold.
" Has not gold appreciated all over the
world ?n Has not the dollar become too
dear?" Their idea seemed to be to cut
down the purchasing price of dollar. One of
these was rancher, and, of course, had much
to say about the depreciation of his farm
products, etc. They also claimed that this
idea, or argument, in regard to the appre-
citation of the gold dollar had not yet been
answered by any Of the speakers on the
sound money side ! think an article on
that subject in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
would be timely. G. OLIVER, Los An-
geles, Cal.

WEST INDIES HURRICANE,
Worst Storm Known in Washington Swept
the City.


Washington was visited on Tuesday night of
last week by West Indies hurricane, the like
of which has never been experienced here be-
fore. Hundreds of thousands of dollars dam
age was done. The hurricane respected neither
official nor diplomatic properties. 1t ripped off
some of the coping of the White House. and
laid low most of the historic trees in the White
House grounds, including the elm tree which
Lincoln planted. 1t carried away part of the
roof of the State Department, where the Off

All inch thick were remorselessy beaten in.
Nearly every other public building was more
or less damaged. Residences of Diplomats
were not spared. That of the French Minister
was left roofess and even the substantially
built Embassy of Great Britain suffered the
loss OF the portico.
Churches and theaters suffered alike The
slate roof of the Church of the Covenant, where
President Harrison used TO worship, was blown
down. Still more disastrous was the fate of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
in which is Lincoln's pew. The whole tower of
that ediiice was reduced to matchwood.
Great devastation was wrought among the
beautiful trees of the Capital. For years the
Parking Commission, which controls this part
of the National Capital decoration have been
implored to have the redundant foliage of these
trees trimmed. The reply has always been

ARMY AND NAVY.

The application of Civil Service principles to
the Navy is indicated in an order made by the
President placing Ships Writers in line OF pro-
motion to the grade of Chief IeomaD, whose
compensation is $50 per month. This was done
by designating the first, second and third-ciass
writers as yeomen of similar classes, and here
after vacancies in the grade of Chief Woman
will be filled from the men Of first class grade,
who formerly found it impossible to rise above
the rank of first-class writer's. The order Is
expected to stimulate the zeal of these ofilcers,
who have heretofore been subject to degrada-
ton at the within of the commanding ofhcers
by making them permanent members OF an
established corps.
The proposition to keep the battleships IN
commission and place certain cruisers in ordi-
nary at League Island is combatted with much
fervor in the Navy Department. Most OF the
officers agree that such a program would not
result in economy. They believe that the
cruisers should be kept at sea, and'that, If any
type of ship be laid up in reserve, it should be
the battleships, those costly consumers of fuel.
The opposition to the project is so firmly I'M
planted and appears to be so general that 1t IS
doubtful if the great personal and othclai IN
fuence of the originator OF the idea Will be aDie
to impress the Secretary with its undoubted
merits. Most officers feel that the cruiser Is
the most useful of the naval types; it has the
requisite speed. the coal carrying capacity and

things of the past and each year indicates that
the soldier is better satisfied with his surround
ings. Little trouble has been experienced dur
ing the past IL months in maintaining the full
strength of the Army. and while there were
assertions, they were few when compared to
the large number of men who some years ago
annually became weary OF the monotonons life
and left the ranks without authority. Gen.
Leiber's report will show that the number OF
courts-martisl are decreasing, the arrests are
not so frequent and minor attractions OF the
regulations not so numerous. He attributes
this improved condition of affairs to the efforts
of the Department to better the surroundings
of the men, and to assist as far as military dis
cipline will permit in making them contented
with their lot.

deaths from the effects of the terrible

Upper Peninsula Miners May starve.

The TilFen mine has closed down
at Bessemer. This completes the shut
down of the Rockefeller mines in that
city. Ms. 6, Z, s, and 10 shafts now
employ lust enough men to keep the
mine clear of water. In large num-
Der of mines, the pumps have been

Gogehc range mines are practically
shut down at Hurley, Ironwood, Bes-
semer and Wakefield. There are less
thar 1000 men at work on the range
where at one time over 5000 men were
employed. II is certain that few
months of idleness will find hundreds
of families in restitution. The several
mining companies have allowed their
all unoccupied lands for use
as "Pingree FARMS" but the army
worms have destroyed these. The
poor fund is exhausted and there are a
large number of outstanding orders,
and the idle miners and their families
are facing starvation.
