Milwaukee. May 7.--All Is quiet here.
This is one of the most orderly large
strikes known In the history of the
country. and the striking street railway
men deserve credit for their conduct.
The streets In the center of the city
were crowded with pedestrians and
sIghtseers Wednesday night, but the
crowd was a good natured one and read
ny obeyed the order "moye on" given
by the police officers. Alta special meet
ing OF the common council Wednesday
afternoon resolutions were passed de-
handing that the street railway com
pany be compelled TO settle the strike
by arbitration.
A committee of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association will this
morning meet committee of the COM

the company TO settle the strike. In
Ease the company refuse TO do this II is
probable the common council vii. can
eel the franchise OF the street railway
company. A large meeting of citizens
was held az the West Side turner hall
during which speeches condemning the
railway company were made and resolu-
tions were passed to the same effect.
Several cars were bombarded with
stones early Wednesday night by hood
inns on prominent street corners and
several arrests were made.

SERIOUS STATE IN ALASKA.
The Country Flooded With Gold.
Seekers Without Funds.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-Accord-
ing to advices received per schooner
Excelsior, which arrived from Cooks
Inlet to-day, a serious state of affairs
reigns In Alaska. Sitka and Juneau
are known to be overflowing with min
ers who cannot start for the gold fields
on account of the ice and snow on the
hills, and now comes the news that
Cooks Inlet is frozen and that the
miners who went up early are suffering
great hardships. Provisions are plen-
tiful, but the prices charged are exor-
bitant. Some of the men are destitute,
and not one has taken enough gold to
pay for a second-class passage to Puget
Sound much less San Francisco. The
gold fields as a rule are said to be a
miserable apology for an FL Dorado,
and hundreds of miners are only await
ing a chance to return home.
The news from the inlet should GER
tanly discourage those who intend try
ing their fortune in the far north. The
country is overrun with prospectors,
and in some instances the suffering of
the Adventures is heartrending. Star
walton faces many who have forced
their way into the interior and misery
and privation await them all.

BUTTE CMont.), April 1S.-The
Broadwater Mine at Neihart was the
scene of terrible explosion early this
morning, resulting in the death of seven
miners and the serious injury of six
others, some of whom cannot recover.
The dead: Frank Dorm, Jim Morri-
BON, Hugh Mckenzie, Dan O'Leary, Dan
Ross, John Kearns and Joe Dearborn.
Injured: Mike Ward, James Comfy,
Mike Coburn, Charles Schmidt, James
Gallagher and Joe Dorm.
OF the men killed ali were single ex-
cept Frank Dorm. AT last accounts
James Gallagher was dying. 1t is also
feared that three others will die. A
special train carried the injured to
Great Falls.
There are several stories as to the
cause of the disaster the most reason
able one being that the magazine-room
used for thawing powder, at the middle
tunnel of the mine, exploded just as the
men were returning from lunch at l
O'Clock. One of the men was thawing
the powder, with the too frequent re-
suit
All the powder in the room, some
thirty sticks, were exploded. The ex-
plosion set off a box of dynamite, and
scattered death to the men who hap
pened to be passing at the time.
1T is the worst accident that has ever
happened in Neihart, and the town is
wrapped in gloom and mourning. 1t is
the third disaster that has occurred in
the State within two weeks, thus again
fulfilling the superstition that one big
mining accident is almost Immediately
followed by two others.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
John nuth Commits Suicide in Golden
Gate Park

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-While
Thomas Monroe, foreman of Golden
Gate Park, was passing along one Of
the walks leading to the Haight-street
entrance this forenoon he saw a man
half-seated, half-reclining, on a bench
His head was thrown back and to one
side. In his right temple was a wound
from which the blood ooZed and near
him lay revolver. He was stone dead.
Monroe telephoned to the Coroner's
office and a Deputy Sheriff removed the
body to the Morgue. A business card
and some letters indicated that the de-
ceased was John Muth, distributing
agent at Los Angeles for SchlitZ's malt
extract. In one corner of the card were
the words, "San Francisco. Office,
Crocker building, 602 Market street
One of the letters was written from
Los Angeles by a brother of the de-
ceased, who expressed surprise that the
deceased should be without funds. The
dead man had only 30 cents in his pos
session The generally accepted theory
Is that Muth became respondent be-
cause of lack of money and sought the
park and then death as a way out of his
troubles. He was respectable-looking
man, about 30 years of age
